 CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT 
  

This CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT is entered into by and between The TriZetto Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and
             (the “Executive”), as of this              day of
            . For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company shall include employment with any of the Company’s Affiliates. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 10 below. 
  
 Recitals 
  
 Whereas, the Compensation
Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to ensure that the Company will have the continued dedication
of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company. 
  
 Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 Agreement 
  

	1)	 	Employment Period. 

  

	 	a)	 	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to provide the Executive with certain payments and benefits in the event the Executive’s
employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, Death or Disability or by the Executive for Good Reason during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the
             anniversary of such Effective Date (the “Employment Period”). 

  

	 	b)	 	The Executive and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of
the Executive by the Company is “at will” and, subject to Section 10(i) hereof, prior to the Effective Date, the Executive’s employment and/or this Agreement may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any time prior
to the Effective Date, in which case the Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement. 

  

	2)	 	Terms of Employment. 

  

	 	a)	 	Position and Duties. 

  

	 	i)	 	During the Employment Period, the Executive’s position, authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most
significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date. 

  

	 	ii)	 	During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and
time during normal business hours to the 

 business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities
assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executive’s reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment Period, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the
Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions, and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not
significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. 
  

	b)	 	Compensation. 

  

	 	i)	 	Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary (“Annual Base Salary”), which shall be paid at a monthly rate, at least
equal to twelve times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary which has been earned but deferred, to the Executive by the Company and its Affiliates in respect of the twelve month period immediately preceding the
month in which the Effective Date occurs. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed no more than twelve months after the last salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the Effective Date and thereafter at least
annually. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased.

  

	 	ii)	 	Other Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings, retirement, welfare benefit, vacation and sick leave
plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its Affiliates. 

  

	3)	 	Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	a)	 	Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in
good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may give the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 11(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In
such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day
after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”); provided that, within the thirty (30) days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s
duties. 

  

	 	b)	 	Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for “Cause” based upon any of the following occurrences:

  

	 	i)	 	The willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive’s duties with the Company or its Affiliates (other than any such failure
resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the 

  

 2 

 Executive by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the
manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties; or 
  

	 	ii)	 	The willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. 

  
 For purposes of this subsection, no act or failure to act, on the part of
the Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or other senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company
shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall
have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is given to the
Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and
specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 
  

	 	c)	 	Good Reason. The Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Good Reason.  

  

	 	i)	 	“Good Reason” shall mean any of the following occurrences: 

  

	 	(1)	 	The assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated
by Section 2(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results in material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities; 

  

	 	(2)	 	Any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 2(b) of this Agreement, other than an isolated insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring
in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; 

  

	 	(3)	 	Any purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; 

  

	 	(4)	 	Any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 9(c) of this Agreement; or 

  

 3 

	 	(5)	 	The required move of the Executive’s principal place of employment outside of the county in which the Executive’s principal place of business is located.

  

	 	ii)	 	Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to any determination of Good Reason made by the Executive shall be settled by arbitration in Orange County, California, in
accordance with the following: 

  

	 	(1)	 	Each party shall appoint its own arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall choose a third, impartial arbitrator as umpire before the date set for the hearing. If a party fails
to appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days after having either received or given the notice requesting arbitration, the other shall appoint the second arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to appoint the umpire within thirty (30) days after
their appointments, either party may apply to the Orange County Superior Court of the State of California to appoint an impartial umpire. The umpire shall promptly notify all parties to the arbitration of his selection. 

  

	 	(2)	 	The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, including the rules pertaining to discovery.

  

	 	(3)	 	Within a reasonable time after completion of the arbitration, the arbitrators shall prepare a written opinion, a copy of which shall be delivered to each party.

  

	 	(4)	 	The parties shall share equally the expenses of arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fee, provided, however, that the arbitrators, in their discretion, may award
costs to the prevailing party. 

  

	 	d)	 	Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto
given in accordance with Section 11(b) of this Agreement. 

  

	4)	 	Obligations of the Company or Executive Upon Termination. 

  

	 	a)	 	Good Reason, Other than for Cause, Death, or Disability. If during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause,
Death or Disability, or the Executive terminates the Executive’s employment for Good Reason, such termination, for purposes of this Section 4(a), shall constitute separation from, and cessation of duties for, the Company as of the Date of
Termination. Under such circumstances, the Company shall pay to the Executive the following payments and benefits: 

  

	 	i)	 	Bi-weekly salary continuation at the Executive’s Annual Base Salary as if the Executive had remained employed through the end of the Employment Period;

  

	 	ii)	 	Medical and dental coverage continuation as if the Executive had remained employed through the end of the Employment Period at the Executive’s benefit level as of the
Date of Termination; 

  

 4 

	 	iii)	 	Life insurance coverage continuation, through the end of the Employment Period at the Executive’s benefit level as of the Date of Termination;

  

	 	iv)	 	Outplacement services consistent with the Company’s outplacement policy, if any, for a person at the Executive’s job classification or position;

  

	 	v)	 	A payment on the last day of the Employment Period in an amount equal to the sum of (A) 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; 

  

	 	vi)	 	Payment within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination of all accrued vacation, holiday and personal leave days as of the Date of Termination; and

  

	 	vii)	 	Payment of any unpaid incentive compensation that Executive earned through the date of Termination in accordance with the terms of any applicable incentive compensation
plan. 

  
 The Company reserves the right to
deduct from any applicable sum those amounts required by law. Any money owed to the Company by Executive may be deducted from the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4(a). All accruals of vacation, holiday and personal leave shall end on the
Date of Termination. The payments called for in this Section 4(a) shall be in lieu of and discharge any obligations of the Company to Executive for compensation, accrued vacation, accrued personal leave days, accrued holidays, incentive
compensation, car allowances, severance payments, or any other expectations or remuneration or benefit on the part of the Executive; provided, however, that in the event Executive is entitled to receive one or more severance payments under a
separate employment agreement between Executive and the Company, then Executive must elect either to receive the severance payment(s) under such separate employment agreement or the amounts payable under Section 4)(a)(i) of this Agreement.

  

	 	b)	 	Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further
obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of accrued obligations and the timely payment or provision of other benefits under any plan, program, policy or practice of TriZetto in accordance
with the terms of such plan, program, policy or practice (the “Other Benefits”). Accrued obligations shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of
Termination. 

  

	 	c)	 	Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without
further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of accrued obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date
of Termination. 

  

	 	d)	 	Cause, Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without
further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation to 

  

 5 

 pay to the Executive (i) his or her Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, (ii) the amount
of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive, and (iii) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent unpaid. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, except a termination for Good Reason, this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for accrued obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. In such case, all accrued obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in
cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination. 
  

	 	e)	 	Acceleration of Options. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause, Death or Disability or the
Executive terminates the Executive’s employment for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 5 of this Agreement, all of the Executive’s outstanding options granted under the 1998 Plan, which have not otherwise become exercisable, shall
become immediately exercisable on the Date of Termination. For purposes of this provision, any such termination of the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to be a termination for the convenience of the Board; accordingly, any options granted
to the Executive under the 1998 Plan which are or become exercisable as of the Date of Termination shall terminate ninety (90) days after the Date of Termination. 

  

	 	f)	 	Duty to Cooperate. During the Employment Period and thereafter, Executive agrees to cooperate with and assist the Company, upon reasonable notice, in the defense of any
litigation or governmental investigation arising from events that occurred while Executive was employed by the Company. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but not be limited to, the Executive’s full participation in locating,
producing, collecting, analyzing and preparing documents and other informational materials; in preparing for and participating in depositions, hearings and trials; and in responding to document production requests, interrogatories, and other
discovery. If it becomes necessary for Executive to testify in any judicial or other administrative proceedings, the Company shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable travel expenses (including transportation, food and lodging), which are
incurred (or are to be incurred) in connection with such testimony (including preparation therefore). The Company shall not be required to pay Executive any additional consideration, including but not limited to, consulting or witness fees, in
connection with any cooperation, assistance or testimony required of or provided by Executive pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, from the Date of Termination to the end of the Employment Period, the Executive shall devote a reasonable amount
of time cooperating with and assisting the Company in maintaining and improving its relationships with its customers. 

  

	5)	 	Certain Reductions of Payments by the Company. 

  

	 	a)	 	The payments (including for this purpose the value of the acceleration described in Section 4(e) or elsewhere) made to the Executive hereunder shall be subject to the
provisions of 3.3.4 of the 1998 Plan. 

  

	 	b)	 	All determinations required to be made under this Section 5 as to whether a Payment or benefit would be deductible by the Company shall be made by an independent accounting
firm selected by the Board (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting information both to the Company and the 

  

 6 

 Executive within thirty (30) business days following the Date of Termination or such earlier time as is
requested by the Company. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. 
  

	 	c)	 	In the event that any option which is outstanding on the Executive’s Date of Termination has not become exercisable because of the application of this Section 5, such
option shall become exercisable in such manner and at such times as the option would have become exercisable if the Executive had not terminated employment, and the portion of any such option which becomes exercisable pursuant to this Section 5(c)
shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the date which is ninety (90) days following the date on which the option first becomes exercisable or the original expiration date of the option.  

  

	6)	 	Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice
provided by the Company or its Affiliates and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 1(b), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company
or its Affiliates. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates at or subsequent to
the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 

  

	7)	 	Full Settlement. Except as stated herein, the Company’s obligation to provide the payments and benefits described in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to
provide any such payments and benefits that are due and payable from and after the Executive’s termination of employment unless the Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a release of claims agreement in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts
shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment. 

  

	8)	 	Confidential Information. The Executive shall continue to be bound by the Intellectual Property and Technical Information Agreement. Following termination of the
Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any confidential information to anyone other than
the Company and its Affiliates or others designated by the Company. 

  

	9)	 	Successors. 

  

	 	a)	 	This Agreement is personal to the Executive and may not be assigned by the Executive without the prior written consent of the Company, except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives. 

  

	 	b)	 	This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. 

  

 7 

	 	c)	 	The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by reason of purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Common Stock and Outstanding Voting Securities, as the case may be;

respective rights hereunder; and 

  

	 	iii)	 	if the Date of Termination is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date, which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the giving of

 12Form of Restricted Stock Agreement

 Exhibit 10.2 
  
 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 induce him to join the Company and to encourage him to continue his service 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 or Compensation Committee 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. 
  

 2 

 7.3 Grantee is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits
of the investment in the Shares. 
  
 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 he 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. 
  

 3 

 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). 
  

 4 

 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 the date of this Agreement is $             per
share.

 13.3 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. 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. 
  
 13.4 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective permitted successors, assigns and legal representatives. 
  
 13.5 Severability. In the event one or more of 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. 
  

 5

with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements and understandings of the parties, either express or implied.
