Section 2: Performance under the Policies

	(a)	 	The Company shall perform each of its duties and obligations under each Policy in accordance

pursuant to a Policy, the Company is responsible for the performance of any duty imposed on
the Employer and/or the Plan under applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited
to ERISA and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Company shall
perform such duty in accordance with such laws and regulations.

set forth in the Plan, as the “fiduciary” as defined by ERISA for the purpose of (i)
reviewing, making decisions on and paying claims for Health Benefits and (ii) reviewing and

review committee under the Plan to determine for all parties all questions relating to the

administrator would be expected to achieve under similar circumstances. The amounts payable
by the Employer under the Agreement, the MP Financial Agreement and the Policies

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	6
	 	 

 

 

	 	 	and Non-MP Policies shall be subject to the modifications specified in the performance
standards set out in Exhibit A.
	 
	(d)	 	The Company shall provide services to recover Overpayments, as defined below, paid under the
Policies and Plan benefits that were paid under the Policies and are recoverable by the Plan
because payment was or should have been made by a third party (other than in connection with
coordination of benefits, Medicare, or other Overpayments) for the same expense.

	 	(i)	 	The Company engages affiliated and unaffiliated vendors to assist in the
recovery of Overpayments and third party claims made with respect to the Policies and

netted against any recoveries. If the fee charged by any affiliated vendor exceeds
*** of the recovery, the Company shall notify the Employer within 30 calendar days of
the effective date of such charge. The Employer shall not be responsible for the cost

determined by mutual agreement of the parties or by a court or other tribunal.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The Employer delegates to the Company the discretion and authority to develop
and use standards and procedures for any recovery under this section, including but
not limited to, whether or not to seek recovery, what steps to take if the Company
decides to seek recovery, and under what circumstances to compromise a claim or settle
for less than the full amount of the claim. The Employer recognizes that use of these
standards and procedures may not result in recovery or in full recovery for any
particular case. The Company will not pursue any recovery if any applicable law does
not permit it, or, if recovery would be impractical. The Company may choose to
initiate litigation to recover payments, but it shall have no obligation to pursue
litigation. If the Company initiates litigation, the Employer shall cooperate with the
Company in the litigation.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If the Agreement terminates, or, if the Company’s recovery services

Review (as defined in Exhibit A to the MP Financial

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	7
	 	 

 

 

	 	 	 	Agreement) in the manner reflected in Exhibit A to the MP Financial
Agreement, and the Company shall otherwise be authorized to retain all
Overpayments recoveries obtained after the Claims Recognition Date (as defined in
the MP Financial Agreement).
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The Employer will not engage any entity except the Company to provide these
recovery services without the Company’s prior approval.
	 
	 	(v)	 	For purposes of the Agreement, “Overpayments” shall mean payments that exceed

retroactive or inaccurate eligibility information, coordination of benefits, Medicare
disputes, or missing information), and other overcharges made by providers, including
hospitals, discovered during the course of a hospital bill audit.

	(e)	 	Claims Incurred prior to termination of any Policy shall be processed in accordance with such
Policy.

Section 3: Additional Services

The Company shall provide to the Employer those additional services identified in Exhibit

court or regulatory agency having jurisdiction of the matter that the liability therefore
was the direct consequence of criminal conduct or fraud on the part of the Company or
negligence or a material breach of the Agreement on the part of the Company.
	 
	(b)	 	The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Employer and/or the Plan from any and
all liability, loss, damages, fines, penalties and costs, including but not limited to,
expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, that the Employer or Plan shall sustain arising out
of or in connection with gross negligence or material breach of the Agreement on the part of
the Company or any direction of the Company to the Employer, unless the parties agree or it is
determined in a final non-appealable decision by a court or regulatory agency having
jurisdiction of the matter that the liability therefore was the direct consequence of criminal
conduct or fraud on the part of the Employer or negligence or a material breach of the
Agreement by the Employer. The Company shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Employer or
the Plan for any losses arising out of Overpayments. If Health Benefits are required to be
paid pursuant to any judgment in favor of the plaintiff or a settlement with the plaintiff or
the order of a regulatory agency having jurisdiction of the matter and such judgment or
settlement is final or payable during the term of the Agreement, any portion of such judgment
or settlement attributable to Health Benefits shall be treated as a claim for Health Benefits
at the time that the judgment or settlement is final and shall be paid by the Company to the
same extent as any other claim for Health Benefits under the provisions of section 5 of the
Agreement and section 2 of the MP Financial Agreement.
	 
	(c)	 	The Company and the Employer shall promptly advise each other as to matters which come to
their respective attentions involving potential legal actions or regulatory enforcement
activity which involve the Plan or are related to the activities of either party with respect
to the Plan or the Agreement and shall

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	18
	 	 

 

 

	 	 	promptly advise each other of legal actions or administrative proceedings which have
actually commenced.
	 
	(d)	 	In the event that a lawsuit or administrative proceeding is brought against the Employer or
the Plan but not the Company, the defense and associated costs of such action or proceeding
shall be paid by the Employer, provided that the costs, including attorneys’ fees, of such
defense shall be reimbursed to the Employer or Plan by the Company to the extent the Employer
or the Plan is entitled to indemnification by the Company under subsection (b) of this section
7. The Company shall cooperate fully with the Employer in the defense of any such action or
proceeding arising out of matters related to the Agreement. The Employer agrees not to oppose
any attempt made by the Company to intervene in such action or proceeding, provided there is
no conflict of interest between the Company and the Employer or the Plan.
	 
	(e)	 	In the event that a lawsuit or administrative proceeding is brought against the Company
arising out of the performance of its duties under the Agreement, the defense of and
associated costs of such action or proceeding shall be paid by the Company, provided that the
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of such defense shall be reimbursed to the
Company by the Employer to the extent the Company is entitled to indemnification by the
Employer under subsection (a) of this section. The Employer shall cooperate fully with the
Company in the defense of any such action or proceeding arising out of matters related to the
Agreement. The Company agrees not to oppose any attempt made by the Employer to intervene in
such action or proceeding, provided there is no conflict of interest between the Company and
the Employer or the Plan. If the Employer or the Plan is also named as a party in such action
or proceeding, the Employer may request that the counsel engaged by the Company also provide
for the defense of the Employer and/or the Plan. If there is no conflict of interest between
the Company and the Employer or the Plan, the Company shall take all reasonable measures to
comply with the Employer’s request. If such counsel does not provide for the Employer’s or
Plan’s defense, then the Employer and Plan shall pay for the defense and associated costs as
provided in subsection (d) of this section, subject to the Employer’s and/or the Plan’s right
to reimbursement under such subsection.

Section 8: Taxes and Assessments

	(a)	 	In the event that a state or other jurisdiction, in accordance with existing or future law,
determines that the Company is liable for payment of any tax, surcharge or assessment (other
than taxes based upon net income) (individually or collectively, “Tax”) with respect to any
aspect of the Plan, the Policies, the Non-MP Policies, the MP Arrangement, or the Agreement,
the Employer agrees to reimburse the Company for the amount of any such Tax, any interest
expense assessed against or incurred by the Company before or after payment of such Tax, and
any other charges, penalties or fines in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, that the Company may sustain in connection with the payment of such Tax, provided,
however, that the Company shall have given the Employer prompt notification of the imposition
of any such Tax.

	 	(i)	 	Subject to the provisions of section 8(a)(ii), any such amount shall be due
and payable upon written notification by the Company to the Employer, regardless of
whether such notification occurs during the term or following the termination of the
Agreement. The Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any
liability, loss, damages, fines, penalties and costs, including reasonable attorneys
fees, which the Company may sustain arising out of or in connection with any
compromise, litigation or appeal by the Employer of any Tax or any delay in payment of
such Tax as a result of such compromise, litigation or appeal.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	With respect to any Tax imposed on the Company solely as a result of the
Employer’s status as policyholder or sponsor of the Plan, upon Employer’s compliance
with any bond, security or other legal requirement imposed on a party contesting such
a Tax, the Employer shall have the sole discretion in determining whether any such Tax
shall be paid, compromised, litigated or appealed and as to all matters of procedure,
compromise, defense or appeal of any other aspects concerning liability for any such
Tax, except to the extent that the Company would thereby be in violation of any
applicable law or rule or would suffer any

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	20
	 	 

 

 

	 	 	 	injury, loss or liability that would not be fully compensable under section 8(a).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The Employer shall not be obligated to reimburse the Company for that
portion of any premium tax assessed against the Company that was taken into account by
the Company in establishing the Quoted Premium (as defined in the MP Financial
Agreement) under a Policy or the premium under a Non-MP Policy.

	(b)	 	In the event that a state or other jurisdiction, in accordance with existing or future law,
imposes upon the Company the duty to act as agent for collection of any Tax imposed on the
Plan or the Employer or with respect to any aspect of the Plan, a Policy, a Non-MP Policy, the
MP Financial Agreement, or the Agreement, the Employer will pay over any such amount to the
Company when requested to do so by the Company, subject to receipt by the Employer from the
Company of prompt notice concerning such matter and exercise by the Employer of its rights as
stated under subsection 8(a) above.

	(b)	 	In the event that either party reasonably believes that any state or other jurisdiction may
impose a penalty on it for proceeding with its performance under the Agreement, such party
will promptly advise the other party of such belief and the basis therefore. In such event
the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to resolve such matter to the satisfaction of
both parties. After a good faith effort by the parties to eliminate the risk of a material
penalty being imposed, if the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, the
party upon which such penalty may be imposed may immediately discontinue the Agreement’s
application in such state or jurisdiction by providing notice to that effect to the other
party. In that event, the Agreement will continue to apply in all other states or
jurisdictions.
	 
	(c)	 	Termination of the Agreement shall not extinguish the rights or liabilities of either party
arising prior to termination.

attorneys’ fees, of any amounts due the other party under the Agreement.

without the prior written consent of the other party.

in a signed writing.

Financial Agreement, the Security Deposit Agreement or the Policies or Non-MP Policies, the

Exhibit A  — Performance Standards

1. General Description

          a. Performance Standards and Guarantee Period 

          Pursuant to section 2(c) of the Agreement, this Exhibit describes the performance standards
applicable to services provided under the Agreement with respect to medical Policies and Non-MP
Policies (“Performance Standard” or “Performance Standards”). These standards apply to the annual
period that begins on January 1 and ends on December 31 of the same calendar year (“Guarantee
Period”).

          The reports and metrics referenced in this Exhibit are those reports and metrics utilized by
the Company on the Effective Date. From time to time, the Company may change the reports and
metrics that it uses. If so, substantially similar metrics and reports will be substituted for
those set forth in this Exhibit A. In addition, if a report or metric is changed, the
Company will modify any affected Performance Standard to the extent necessary to carry out the
intent of the parties, provided that the modified Performance Standard shall be at least as
favorable to the Employer as the standard offered by the Company to other key account customers at
the time of the modification.

          b. Premium Credits

          To the extent provided below, the Employer shall be entitled to a Premium Credit if the
Company fails to meet *** or more of the Performance Standards during a Guarantee Period. The
Premium Credit due for a Guarantee Period shall be applied to premiums due to the Company for the
first Arrangement Month following the Quarterly Review for the fourth Arrangement Quarter of each
year.

          c. Reporting

          The Company shall report to the Employer the Performance Standards results as part of each
Quarterly Review. Performance Standard results will be summarized and reported for the Guarantee
Period as part of the Annual Review. The amount of Premium Credit due as a result of the Company’s
failure to meet any of the Performance Standards will be determined as part of the Quarterly
Review.

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	26
	 	 

 

 

          d. Non-Performance by the Company May be Excused

     The Company shall not be required to provide a Premium Credit where the Company’s failure to
meet any Performance Standard is due to fire, embargo, strike, war, accident, act of god, voluntary
or involuntary compliance with any valid or invalid law or regulation of any governmental agency or
authority or ***.

2. Eligibility Loading

     The Company will load eligibility transmissions to the UnitedHealth Group Eligibility System
within *** business days of receipt. A tape load will be considered to have met this standard if
the elapsed time between the date the tape is received by the Company and the date upon which the
tape is loaded to the eligibility system(s) is *** business days or less. The guarantee applies to
tapes submitted consistent with the format outlined in the UnitedHealth Group Eligibility Handbook
(last updated version June 19, 2001) and is not applicable to tapes that cannot be loaded due to
tape errors or for tapes that require reformatting of data. Tapes must be received prior to 12:00
noon, Eastern Time, on the date as determined by scheduled tape delivery dates. Otherwise, written
notification of tape delivery must be provided and receipt confirmed by the Company. If the tape
is received after 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, the period for completion of the loading under this
standard commences the following business day.

     Failure to load *** of eligibility tapes to the UnitedHealth Group Eligibility System within
*** business days of receipt during the Guarantee Period will result in a Premium Credit of ***.

3. Customer Reporting

          a. The following set of reports will be available on-line to the Employer for all Policies and
Non-MP Policies administered on the Company’s UNET system within *** calendar days of the close of
each month:

	 	•	 	Premium Versus Claims
	 
	 	•	 	Claim Expenses by Size of Payment
	 
	 	•	 	Payments by Benefit Type
	 
	 	•	 	Health Care Cost Management Summary
	 
	 	•	 	Claim Experience
	 
	 	•	 	Membership by Market

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	27
	 	 

 

 

	 	•	 	Membership by Month
	 
	 	•	 	Membership with Demographic Factors and Geographic Factors

          b. The following reports will be available to the Employer for all Non-MP Policies
administered on the Company’s PRIME system (Maryland Small Business PPO clients) within ***
calendar days of the close of each month:

	 	•	 	Claim Expenses by Size of Payment
	 
	 	•	 	Payments by Benefit Type

          c. The Quarterly Review report described in Exhibit A of the Minimum Premium Financial
Agreement will be provided to the Employer within *** calendar days of the end of the Arrangement
Quarter.

          d. Failure to deliver at minimum *** of the total number of reports identified in this section
3 during the Guarantee Period will result in a Premium Credit of ***.

4. Claim Operations Performance Standards

     For purposes of this section 4, the term “claim” shall mean a written or electronic request
for payment of a Plan Benefit made by a member or provider.

          a. Time to Pay

     During a Guarantee Period, the Company will process *** of all claims received by the Company
within *** business days of receipt, as evidenced by the Company’s date stamp. Timeliness will be
measured using the “Time to Pay” report produced by the Company on a monthly basis. The overall
Guarantee Period result is recalculated using the raw data for such period. The “Time to Pay”
results are always rounded to the nearest whole percent.

     For the Agreement, the criteria will be based upon the results of the Service Center team
servicing the Employer.

     A claim will be considered processed when the claim has been completely reviewed and a payment
determination has been made.

     Time to pay is measured the same way regardless of the timing of the Company’s responses to a
claimant.

     Failure to process *** of all claims received within *** business days during the Guarantee
Period will result in a Premium Credit in the

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	28
	 	 

 

 

maximum amount of ***. Credits against this Performance Standard will be applied on a gradient as
follows:

          *** within *** business days — ***

          *** within *** business days — ***

          *** within *** business days — ***

          *** within *** business days — ***

          *** in more than *** business days — ***

          b. Financial Accuracy

     The Company will maintain a Financial Accuracy rate of not less than *** for the Guarantee
Period. Financial Accuracy is measured by collecting a statistically significant random sample of
claims processed. The sample is reviewed to determine the percentage of claim dollars processed
correctly out of the total claim dollars submitted for payment. The measurement will be done by
the Company’s standard internal quality assurance program based on a periodic audit of all claims
processed by the Service Center team servicing the Employer. The overall Guarantee Period result
is recalculated using the raw data for such period.

     Failure to maintain a Financial Accuracy rate of at least *** for the Guarantee Period will
result in a Premium Credit in the maximum amount of ***. Credits against this Performance Standard
will be applied on a gradient as follows:

      *** paid correctly — ***

      *** paid correctly — ***

      *** paid correctly — ***

      *** paid correctly — ***

      Less than *** paid correctly — ***

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	29
	 	 

 

 

          c. Procedural Accuracy

     The Company will maintain a Procedural Accuracy rate of not less than *** for the Guarantee
Period. Procedural Accuracy is measured by collecting a statistically significant random sample of
claims processed by the Service Center team servicing the Employer. The sample is reviewed to
determine the percentage of claims processed without non-financial errors.

     The measurement will be done by the Company’s standard internal quality assurance program
based on a periodic audit of all claims processed by the Service Center team servicing the
Employer. The overall performance period result is recalculated using the raw data for such
period.

     Failure to maintain a Procedural Accuracy rate of at least *** for the Guarantee Period will
result in a Premium Credit in the maximum amount of ***. Credits against this Performance Standard
will be applied on a gradient as follows:

      *** paid correctly — ***

      *** paid correctly — ***

      *** paid correctly — ***

      *** paid correctly — ***

      Less than *** paid correctly — ***

     d. Items Excluded From Claim Operations Performance Measurements

     With some products (e.g., HMO), financial reimbursement arrangements are contractually
negotiated with providers (physicians, labs, etc.), that budget the payment they receive for
certain services. Periodic payments are made to the providers in return for their agreement to
provide the negotiated services to network members. Services provided under these arrangements are
not processed as a typical “claim” and, as a result, results from the networks featuring these
arrangements are not included in the performance statistics outlined above.

     The claims that are included in Claim Operations performance categories are limited to medical
claims processed through the UNET claims system(s). Claims processed through any other system,
including claims for other products such as vision, dental, or pharmacy

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	30
	 	 

 

 

coverage, are not included in the calculation of the performance measurements stated above.

5. Member Phone Service Performance Standards

          a. Average Speed to Answer

     This standard applies to the claim team and/or the member service team that provide service
for the Employer’s Employees. The Company will guarantee that calls will sequence through the
Company’s automated telephone call distribution system and be answered by a customer service
representative in *** seconds or less, on average. The Average Speed to Answer will be measured by
the standard tracking reports produced by the Company’s automated phone system for all the calls
handled by the Service Center team servicing the Employer.

     If the Average Speed to Answer for the Guarantee Period is greater than *** seconds, a Premium
Credit will be due. The maximum amount of the Premium Credit will be ***. Credits against this
performance measure will be applied on a gradient as follows:

      *** seconds or less — ***

      *** seconds or less — ***

      *** seconds or less — ***

      *** seconds or less — ***

      More than *** seconds to answer — ***

          b. Abandonment Rate

     This standard applies to the claim team(s) and/or the member services team(s) which provide
service for the Employer’s Employees. The Company will guarantee that calls will sequence through
the Company’s automated telephone call distribution system such that the average abandonment rate
will be no greater than *** percent. The Abandonment Rate results will be measured by the standard
tracking reports produced by the Company’s automated phone system for all calls handled by the
Service Center team servicing the Employer.

     If the Abandonment Rate for the Guarantee Period is greater than *** on average, for all
locations providing member phone service to the Employer’s Employees, a Premium Credit will be made
due. The maximum amount of the credit will be ***. Credits against this performance measure will
be applied on a gradient as follows:

      *** of calls abandoned — ***

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	31
	 	 

 

 

      *** of calls abandoned — ***

      *** of calls abandoned — ***

      *** of calls abandoned — ***

      more than *** of calls abandoned — ***

6. Overall Member Satisfaction Performance Standard

          This standard applies to the member service teams that provide HMO, HMO Substitute, EPO, PPO
and Managed Indemnity services for the Employer’s Employees. The Company will conduct, on ***
basis, a Uniprise Customer Satisfaction Survey. The Overall Satisfaction question used reads:

“Overall, how satisfied are you with the way the Company administers your medical health
insurance plan, such as processing your claim or helping answer any questions or resolving any
problems you may have?”

     If less than *** of the respondents for the Service Center team providing services for the
Employer’s Employees are satisfied overall (i.e., if *** of respondents do not respond with either
completely satisfied, very satisfied or somewhat satisfied), a Premium Credit of *** will be due.

Exhibit D — Third Party Disclosure Agreement

     This THIRD PARTY DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Administaff
of Texas, Inc. (“Employer”), [Examiner Name] (“Examiner”) and United HealthCare Insurance Company
for itself and its affiliated companies (“United HealthCare”). These parties acknowledge and agree
as follows:

     Employer and United HealthCare entered into the Minimum Premium Administrative Services
Agreement (“the Agreement”) under which United HealthCare provides claims administration and other
services for Employer’s employee welfare benefit plan (“Plan”). Employer has retained Examiner to
perform an examination, audit or other evaluation of the files, books, and/or records of United
HealthCare pertaining to the Plan (“Examination”).

     Employer has requested that solely for purposes of the Examination, United HealthCare disclose
to Examiner certain documents, statistical information and other information which is commercially
valuable, confidential, proprietary, or trade secret (“Proprietary Information”) and also materials
which may contain medical or other individually identifiable information (“Confidential Medical
Information”). Proprietary Information and Confidential Medical Information shall collectively be
referred to in the Agreement as “Confidential Information”. United HealthCare has agreed to
disclose this Confidential Information subject to the terms of the Agreement.

     The Examination shall take place on the date or date(s) mutually agreed upon by the parties.

     Confidential Information disclosed by United HealthCare, its agents, subsidiaries and
affiliates, to Examiner in connection with the Examination, including all copies thereof, shall be
used by Examiner only as permitted by the Agreement. Confidential Information shall not include
information: (i) generally available to the public or generally known in the insurance industry or
employee benefit consulting community prior to or during the time of the Examination through
authorized disclosure; (ii) obtained from a third party who is under no obligation to United
HealthCare not to disclose such information; or (iii) required to be disclosed by subpoena, or
other legal process.

     Use: Examiner shall: (a) not use (deemed to include, but not be limited to, using, exploiting,
duplicating, recreating, modifying, decompiling, disassembling, reverse engineering, translating,
creating derivative works or disclosing Confidential Information to another

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	36
	 	 

 

 

person or permitting any other person to do so) Confidential Information except for purposes of the
Examination; (b) limit use of Confidential Information only to its authorized employees (deemed to
include employees as well as individuals who are agents or independent contractors of Examiner) who
have a need to know for purposes of the Examination; and (c) may release Confidential Information
in response to a subpoena or other legal process to disclose Confidential Information, after giving
United HealthCare reasonable prior notice of such disclosure.

     At the conclusion of the Examination, Examiner shall either relinquish to United HealthCare,
or destroy (with such destruction to be certified to United HealthCare), all Confidential
Information. If during the course of the Examination it is discovered that the Agreement has been
breached by Examiner then all Confidential Information shall be relinquished to United HealthCare
upon demand.

     The Agreement binds the parties and their respective successors, assigns, agents, employers,
subsidiaries and affiliates.

     Unauthorized use of Confidential Information by Examiner is a material breach of the Agreement
resulting in irreparable harm to United HealthCare for which the payment of money damages is
inadequate. It is agreed that United HealthCare, upon adequate proof of unauthorized use, and in
addition to any other remedies at law or in equity that it may have, may immediately obtain
injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any continuing or further
breaches and may obtain entry of judgment for injunctive relief. Examiner consents to said
injunctive relief and judgment. Employer and Examiner agree to indemnify and hold harmless United
HealthCare with respect to any claims and any damages caused by Examiner’s breach of the Agreement.

     The requirement to treat all Confidential Medical Information, as Confidential Information
shall survive the termination of the Agreement. The requirement to treat all Proprietary
Information as Confidential Information under the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
so long as any Proprietary Information remains commercially valuable, confidential, proprietary
and/or trade secret, but in no event less than a period of three (3) years from the date of the
Examination.

     Neither the Agreement nor Examiner’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned without
United HealthCare’s prior written approval.

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	37
	 	 

 

 

     General: (a) The Agreement is the entire understanding between the parties as to the subject
matter hereof. (b) No modification to the Agreement shall be binding upon the parties unless
evidenced in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. (c) Headings in the
Agreement shall not be used to interpret or construe its provisions. (d) The alleged invalidity of
any term shall not affect the validity of any other terms. (d) The Agreement may be executed in
counterparts.

     The parties have caused their authorized representatives to execute the Agreement.

Exhibit E — Eligibility Reporting by the Employer

For purposes of this Exhibit E, “Plan” shall include the plan of benefits provided by the
Employer under the Policies and the Non-MP Policies.

	1.	 	The Employer shall provide to the Company an accounting of the number of Clients
participating in the Plan as of January 1, 2002.
	 
	2.	 	The Employer understands that the Company requires a seven business day period from the date
notification is received by the Company of a Participant’s eligibility or termination of
coverage under the Plan in order to update the UnitedHealth Group Eligibility System and the
subsidiary eligibility systems for pharmacy, dental and mental health/substance abuse
benefits. This seven business day period is predicated upon such eligibility information being
provided by the Employer to the Company in the format consistent with that outlined in the
UnitedHealth Group Eligibility Handbook (last updated on June 19, 2001). The Employer agrees
to pay the claims of such Participant(s) whose coverage has been terminated to the extent they
would otherwise constitute Health Benefits required to be paid by the Company if the Company
authorized the payment of the claims during this period, even if such persons are no longer
eligible for Plan benefits during this period.
	 
	3.	 	Effective December 31, 2005, the Company shall not be required to make retroactive
terminations of Participant eligibility (excluding COBRA Participants) for benefits Incurred
under Policies or Non-MP Policies on dates more than 31 calendar days before the date on which
the corrected information is received by the Company. The Company shall not be required to
make any other retroactive corrections in Participant eligibility for benefits Incurred under
Policies or Non-MP Policies on dates more than 60 calendar days before the date on which the
corrected information is received by the Company.
	 
	4.	 	In calculating the Quoted Premiums under the Policies and the monthly premiums under the
Non-MP Policies administered on the Company’s UNET system (as designated in Exhibit B
to the Minimum Premium Financial Agreement), the following rule shall apply. *** shall be due
for Employees whose effective date of coverage is on or before the *** of that month and no
premium shall be due for Employees whose effective date of coverage is

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	39
	 	 

 

 

	 	 	after the *** of that calendar month. *** shall be due for Employees whose coverage is
terminated after the *** of that calendar month, and *** shall be due for Employees whose
coverage is terminated on or before the *** day of that calendar month.
	 
	5.	 	Monthly premiums for the Non-MP Policies administered on the Company’s PRIME system (as
designated in Exhibit B to the Minimum Premium Financial Agreement) are calculated by
the system on an individual Non-MP Policy basis using a roster billing process which reflects
the amount due for individual Participants. The calculation of monthly premiums on PRIME uses
a *** rule to determine the premium due for partial month’s coverage as opposed to the *** of
the month rule described in paragraph 4 above.
	 
	6.	 	Risk Management Reports and Information

	 	(a)	 	Commencing with the second quarter of 2005 Quarterly Review meeting (which is
expected to occur on or about August 15, 2005), the Employer shall supply the
following risk management activity reports to the Company on a quarterly basis at the
applicable Quarterly and Annual Review meetings:

	 	(i)	 	Reports for *** During the Review Quarter

	 	 	 
	 

	 	• ***
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	• ***
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	• ***

	 	(ii)	 	Reports for *** as of the End of the Review Quarter

	 	 	 
	 

	 	• ***
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	• ***
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	• ***

	 	  (b)	 	In addition, the parties will cooperate in good faith to establish by August
15, 2005 an appropriate mechanism

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	40
	 	 

 

 

	 	 	 	(e.g., a process for Employer reporting) to demonstrate Employer’s compliance with
the *** percent employee contribution limitation for “employee only” coverage for
a New Client in Section 6(b)(ii) of the Agreement.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Representatives of the Employer and the Company shall meet no more than one
time in any twelve-month period to allow the Company the opportunity to review and
comment on the Employer’s *** subject to applicable confidentiality provisions of this
Agreement and the MP Financial Agreement. Further, the Employer and the Company shall
cooperate to establish a process under which the Employer will provide additional
information to help the Company better understand the Employer’s management of new
Client accounts.

Exhibit F – Alternate Vendors

	A.	 	Except as otherwise set forth in this Exhibit F, the Company shall have the right to
be the exclusive provider of medical and dental coverage for Employees; provided, however,
that execution of an agreement between the Company and the Employer with respect to the
Company’s right to be the exclusive provider of dental coverage for Employees with respect to
certain geographical coverage areas (“Dental Agreement”) shall cause this Agreement and the MP
Financial Agreement (including any exhibits or appendices to either) to be modified effective
as of the effective date of the Dental Agreement to delete any effect on or reference to
dental benefits, coverage, policies, or exclusivity rights as to the provision of dental
coverage to employees of the Employer, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent
therewith. For purposes of this Exhibit F, “Employees” shall include employees of the
Employer covered under Non-MP Policies as well as the Policies.
	 
	B.	 	Exceptions to the Company’s Right to be Exclusive Provider

	 	1.	 	*** The Employer may offer alternate HMO, EPO, or PPO coverage (but not
dental coverage) to Clients in ***.
	 
	 	2.	 	*** The Employer shall offer to each Client the following coverage options
for Employees at *** worksites: (i) existing *** coverage options (medical and/or
dental) or (ii) coverage options offered by the Company (medical and/or dental).
	 
	 	3.	 	CIGNA ***: CIGNA *** or *** may be offered with, at the option of
the Company, the Company’s ***, in the following markets, provided that each market
listed below shall be treated as a New Market (as defined in section B(7) below) and
subject to the provisions of section B(5)(b) below at such time as the Company shall
offer an ***, *** or the *** Substitute option which is Competitive (as defined in
section B(7) below) in such market.

	 	a.	 	***
	 
	 	b.	 	***

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	42
	 	 

 

 

	 	c.	 	***
	 
	 	d.	 	***
	 
	 	e.	 	***
	 
	 	f.	 	***
	 
	 	g.	 	***

	 	4.	 	New Markets

	 	a.	 	The Employer shall offer the Company’s PPO option in New
Markets. Subject to subsection B.4.b. and Section C of this Exhibit
F, if the Employer wishes to also offer an HMO or EPO option in a New
Market, the Employer shall (i) notify the Company of its plan, and (ii) offer
such option exclusively through the Company’s HMO, EPO or the HMO Substitute,
provided that the Company’s product is Competitive in such New Market at the
time of the Employer’s notice to the Company or becomes Competitive not more
than *** months after receipt of the Employer’s notice to the Company.
	 
	 	b.	 	If the Employer provides an HMO or EPO option through a
Competing Vendor in a New Market consistent with the provisions of this
Exhibit F, the Company may elect to offer the Company’s PPO option to
Employees along with the Competing Vendor’s HMO or EPO. If the Company’s PPO
option is provided to Employees, the Company may upon *** days notice to the
Employer, cease such offering in the New Market effective on the January 1
following the notice.

	 	5.	 	Removal or Addition of the Company’s HMOs and Other Products 

	 	a.	 	If at any time an HMO, the HMO Substitute or EPO offered by
the Employer through the Company ceases to be Competitive, the Employer may
in its sole discretion cease offering such product and, in

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	43
	 	 

 

 

	 	 	 	any case, the respective market in which such product operates shall be
deemed a New Market. In any such case, the Employer shall notify the
Company of its opinion concerning the Competitive status of such product
at least *** months before it ceases offering the product and shall have
the burden of undertaking the steps required to confirm the same in
accordance with section B(7)(b) of this Exhibit F. If the
Company’s HMO, the HMO Substitute or EPO becomes Competitive within ***
months after its receipt of the Employer’s notice, the Employer may not
replace it unless and until it is again not Competitive, in which case a
new notice shall be required and a new *** month corrective period will
begin.
	 
	 	b.	 	If at the time the Company begins to offer an HMO, the HMO
Substitute or EPO option which is Competitive, the Employer is offering an
HMO or EPO option through a Competing Vendor consistent with the provisions
of this Exhibit F, the Employer shall offer each Client in such New
Market coverage options for Employees in such New Market not later than the
*** of such *** consisting of either (i) subject to Section C of this
Exhibit F, the Company’s ***, the *** Substitute or *** and ***
options or (ii) such Competing Vendor’s *** or *** and, at the Competing
Vendor’s option, its ***.
	 
	 	c.	 	Notwithstanding sections B.1 and B.3.c. of this Exhibit
F, the Employer and the Company shall discuss in detail the circumstances
under which the Company could make available and the Employer could accept
new Company offerings in Boston and California beginning in 2006. In no
event shall Employer be required to include a new Company product in
California or Boston that would reasonably be expected to materially increase
Employer’s health plan costs in that market or adversely impact its
arrangements with insurers in that market.

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	44
	 	 

 

 

	 	6.	 	Acquisition by Employer of another Professional Employer
Organization: The Employer’s use of Competing Vendors to provide coverage to New
PEO Clients will not violate the provisions of section 6(b)(iv) of the Agreement or
this Exhibit F if such coverage complies with the provisions of section 6(f)
of the Agreement.
	 
	 	7.	 	Process for Considering Alternative Vendors in Special Markets

	 	a.	 	The special procedures for alternate vendors described in
this section 7 shall apply to the following markets (“Special Markets”):

	 	i.	 	***
	 
	 	ii.	 	***
	 
	 	iii.	 	***
	 
	 	iv.	 	***
	 
	 	v.	 	***
	 
	 	vi.	 	***
	 
	 	vii.	 	***

	 	b.	 	The Employer and the Company shall discuss in detail
whether and upon what terms the offering of vendors other than the Company
(“Alternate Vendors”) in the Special Markets would be a viable alternative to
the current approach in any or all of the Special Markets, including but not
limited to, the following:

	 	i.	 	pricing, product and other competitive
information;
	 
	 	ii.	 	the specific advantages expected to be
gained from offering an Alternate Vendor;
	 
	 	iii.	 	the anticipated process and terms for
introducing and offering an Alternate Vendor’s product, including
price, contribution, product

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	45
	 	 

 

 

	 	 	 	and benefit plan design differences, and employee vs. Client
selection process; and
	 
	 	iv.	 	whether some combination of different or
additional Company offerings would best serve the Employer,

	 	c.	 	Following these discussions, the Employer may offer an
Alternate Vendor in a Special Market without regard to notice and
cure provisions of section 5 of this Exhibit F. Any vendor changes
made by the Employer pursuant to this section shall be memorialized in an
amendment to this Exhibit F. Taking into account the discussions with
the Employer, the Company’s existing offerings, and the size and product
distribution of the existing membership in the Special Market, the Company
shall elect one of the following:

	 	i.	 	Continue to offer to the Employer an ***
option at the Client level. (All co-employees of a Client would be
offered ***);
	 
	 	ii.	 	Continue to offer to the Employer an ***
option at the employee level, where Clients may elect more ***.
	 
	 	iii.	 	Discontinue offering any option to the
Employer in the Special Market.

	 	d.	 	If the Employer offers one or more Alternate Vendors in a
Special Market, this change in product offering may result in changes in the
Monthly Payable Rate, Quoted Premiums or premiums of Non-MP Policies;
provided, however, that any such rate or premium change for a Special Market
would not be effective before the later of (i) the date the Alternate
Vendor’s coverage becomes effective and (ii) the first of the month following
30 days advance written notice of such rate or premium change by the Company
to the Employer.

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	46
	 	 

 

 

	 	e.	 	The Employer has determined to offer the following
Alternate Vendors pursuant to this paragraph B.7.

	 	i.	 	***.

	 	C.	 	Conversion to Alternative Products
	 
	 	 	 	As soon as commercially practicable after ***, the Employer shall begin the
process of substituting the Company’s *** products for the Company *** under which
Employees were covered on ***, subject to the Employer’s determination that the
proposed provider network in the applicable geographic area is adequate; provided,
however, that substantially all of the Company *** under which Employees were
covered on *** shall be replaced with the Company’s ***.
	 
	 	D.	 	Definitions
	 
	 	 	 	As used in this Exhibit F, capitalized terms shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Minimum Premium Administrative Services Agreement to which
this Exhibit F is attached or, if no meaning is so assigned, the meaning
set forth in this section D of Exhibit F.

	 	a.	 	“Competing Vendor” means a vendor of medical coverage
products in a particular geographic market other than the Company.
	 
	 	b.	 	“Competitive” when referring to an HMO, the HMO Substitute
or an EPO option means that either (i) the Company and the Employer agree or
(ii) an independent consultant chosen by mutual agreement of the parties has
determined, that such product ranks either *** as compared to competing
products of other vendors in the designated market. In making any
determination of the rank of a product in a market, such consultant shall
apply such criteria relating to *** as it shall determine appropriate. All
fees and expenses of any such consultant shall be paid by the Employer.

      

					
	MP Services Agreement
	 	47
	 	 

 

 

	 	c.	 	“HMO” means a product issued by a licensed “health
maintenance organization” and offered as a network only or lock in product.

does not offer an *** option on January 1, 2002.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has

WHEREAS, the Company's Board of
Directors and its Compensation Committee each possess the authority to amend
the Plan pursuant to Section 6.1 thereof;

in its entirety as follows:

"6.8     
Construction. 
It is the intent of the Company that the Plan and the acquisition of Common
Stock thereunder shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner
that does not result in the imposition of share-based recognizable compensation
cost within the meaning of FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004).  To the
extent any term or provision of the Plan is inconsistent with such intent, it
shall be interpreted and construed consistent therewith.
