2.2 Administrator Clinical Programs
If elected, the Lois, Clinical Value ("LCV') exclusion option prevents unnecessary spending by
removing LCV medications from the formulary without impact to client rebates while providing equal
or more effective medicines at a lower cost. LCV medications are drugs that treat common conditions
that do not provide any additional or superior therapeutic value when compared to currently existing
therapies already in the marketplace. These medications are excluded in addition to any products that
would normally be excluded by the PBM Formulary. This exclusion occurs without affecting Rebate
minimum guarantees or contracted discount rates. Administrator reserves the right to amend, from time
to time, the list of low clinical value medications. The list of low clinical value medications may be
updated quarterly. Client may request a current list of LCV medications.

(1/2023 Version)
If elected, Administrator's High Dollar Claim Review, Prior Authorization and Appeals program
("HDCR"), will provide Client with umbrella protection against high-cost Prescription Drug Claims for
approved formulary drugs. Prescription Drug Claims over the threshold dollar amount are flagged prior to
payment and reviewed for clinical appropriateness. This additional level of clinical oversight protects against
unnecessary spending, saving clients money and providing improved visibility into claim reviews, decision
processes, and cost savings. If HDCR is elected, Administrator's Complex Clinical Intervention ("CCI")
program is included. CCI addresses complex case management issues for Plan Participants on a trajectory to
generate more than $250,000.00 in annual pharmacy plan spend. Clinical pharmacists reach out to Prescribers
to request and review medical documentation and tackle issues such as redundant therapies, dosing errors,
potential drug -on -drug interactions, and medication misuse.
o The following may apply to HDCR:
• Administrator manages the clinical review process for high dollar claims, providing oversight of the
process. Administrator communicates trends and savings results to clients through detailed reporting
and analytics.
■ Review turnaround time is dependent on prescriber activity and whether additional information is
required. If additional information is required, the reviewer will attempt to contact physician at least
once daily for three days; direct contact with the prescriber will discontinue after the third day. The
majority of reviews are completed with a disposition within 24 to 72 hours.
• Following a clinical review, one of four actions will occur: (i) the medication is approved, (ii) the
medication claim is denied, (iii) the prescriber may decide to withdraw and prescribe a different
medication, or (iv) the reviewer can dismiss the claim due to lack of communication from the
prescriber;
■ If denied, the appeal process is available.
o If HDCR is elected, the Administrator will also manage all other Prior Authorizations and
Appeals.
• Following a clinical review, one of four actions will occur the medication is approved, the
medication claim is denied, the doctor may decide to withdraw and prescribe a different medication,
or the reviewer can dismiss the claim due to lack of communication from the prescriber;
■ If denied, the appeal process is available.
o The appeal process:
■ If an initial review is denied, the Member may appeal the decision to have a different pharmacist
reviewer evaluate the prior authorization.
• If the denial is upheld upon first appeal, a second appeal may be made, which is completed in
consultation with a peer physician reviewer from an Independent Review Organization.
■ If the denial is again upheld upon second appeal, a final appeal for a Federal External Review
completed by an Independent Review Organization may be made.
■ If the denial is upheld by the final review, the appeal process has been exhausted and the decision
is final and binding.
Foundational Utilization Management ("UM"). UM is a bundling of evidence -based clinical programs
commonly used to provide appropriate clinical oversight of prescription drug claims. UM ensures the
correct clinical evaluation processes are in place. Appropriate quantity limit ("QL") promotes FDA -
approved dispensing guidelines by ensuring appropriate quantities are dispensed. Step Therapy ("ST")
ensures the most clinically appropriate item is used first as part of adhering to accepted guidelines. When
faced with two similar agents, the lowest cost option is promoted first. Prior Authorizations ("PA'J
ensure FDA -approved guidelines with respect to indications are being met. Utilizing the PBM or
customized criteria, Administrator has carved out the QUST exception review process as well as all
specialty and non -specialty PA reviews to be independently reviewed and documented utilizing a
documentation system that allows for ease of auditing through increased visibility of clinical decisions.

This component requires that Client elect a standard Utilization Management Programs promoted by
Administrator. NOTE: Client must have HDCR component in place to elect UM. The following may
apply:
o Review turnaround time is dependent on prescriber activity and whether additional information
is required. If additional information is required, the reviewer will attempt to contact physician
at least once daily for three days; direct contact with the prescriber will discontinue after the
third day. The majority of reviews are completed with a disposition within 24 to 72 hours.;
o Following a clinical review, one of four actions will occur: (i) the medication is approved, (ii)
the medication claim is denied, (iii) the prescriber may decide to withdraw and prescribe a
different medication, or (iv) the reviewer can dismiss the claim due to lack of communication
from the prescriber, or
o If denied, an appeal process is available.
2.3 Protect Proeram Guarantee
• General: The Administrator clinical programs elected by Client shall be collectively referred
to as the "Protect Solutions" for purposes of this Exhibit A. The fees associated with the Protect
Solutions which are invoiced to the client shall be referred to herein as the "Protect Fees'.
• Protect ROI Guarantee: Administrator guarantees that Client will generate savings from the
Protect Solutions ("Protect Savings") that are equal to or greater than the Protect Fees paid by
Client during the given Contract Year (the "Protect ROI Guarantee"). To the extent that the
Protect Fees exceed the Protect Savings in a given Contract Year, Administrator will pay Client
an amount equal to the difference between the Protect Fees and the Protect Savings (the "Protect
Guarantee Payment).
• Conditions.
o Eligibility. To be eligible for the Protect ROI Guarantee, Client must be on one of
Administrator's four Protect Program packages:
o Advanced;
o Intermediate;
o Basic; or
o Custom UM.
In all instances, Administrator's LCV and HDCR programs must be elected.
o Protect Savings Validation: Protect Savings are calculated using a proprietary
methodology developed by Administrator that analyzes rejected Claims and the paid
alternatives to calculate definitive actual -dollar savings realized as a result of the
Protect Solutions. Protect Savings generated by the PA and appeals process are based
on the AWP contracted discount for the specific drug involved in a Claim. Protect
Savings generated by the HDCR process are based on the net cost after actual discount.
Administrator may use information from PBM in its calculation of Protect Savings
(e.g., AWP, gross cost, plan cost, member cost, rejected Claims data). Generic product
identifier (GPI) and national drug code (NDC) data will be retrieved from Medi -Span.
o Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each Contract year,
Administrator shall report to Client performance for the Protect ROI Guarantee. If
Protect Savings exceeds Protect Fees during a Contract Year, no payment shall be
made by Administrator to Client. If Protect Fees exceed Protect Savings, amounts due
resulting from an Administrator failure to meet the Protect ROI Guarantee, shall be
calculated and paid to Client within thirty (30) days following Administrator's
reconciliation report.
o The Protect Guarantee Payment, if any, shall be issued as a credit to Client's account.
Client must have the Protect Solutions in place for the entirety of the Agreement Term

to be eligible for the Protect ROI Guarantee. If this Agreement is terminated prior to
the end of a given Contract Year or if the Agreement is terminated in breach of the
terms of the Agreement (e.g., insufficient notice of non -renewal is given), then
Administrator is not required to meet the Protect ROI Guarantee set forth above. No
Protect Guarantee Payment will be paid (a) until this Agreement (including any
applicable Client Application) is executed by Client, or (b) if the Administrative
Services Agreement has been terminated as of the date that such Protect Guarantee
Payment is to be paid to Client.
o If Client has not paid any outstanding invoice(s) when payment of the Protect
Guarantee Payment, if any, is to be made, such outstanding amounts (including any
applicable interest, service charge, or other outstanding amount) may be deducted
from the Protect Guarantee Payment.
o In the event Administrator fails to meet the Protect ROI Guarantee, the Protect
Guarantee Payment described above will be the sole and exclusive remedy available
to Client for such failure.
2.4 PBM Clinical Programs
If elected, PBM's Manufacturer Assistance Program for Specialty Medications ("MAP"), consists of
I or 2 components when available, dependent on the specific Plan Design: (l) Accumulator Protection
using Manufacturer Copay assistance dollars to help lower Member out-of-pocket costs and Client costs
where funds are not applied to Member deductible and member out-of-pocket maximum totals; and (2)
Accumulator Protection Plus Variable Cost -Share, where plan changes can maximize available
assistance funds to offset Plan costs and cover the Members' Cost Share but does not apply to their
deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, yielding high savings potential, or Therapeutic Interchange
Programs where the specialty pharmacy will move Members to preferred agents in order to allow the
usage of copay assistance funds from manufacturers. Requires exclusive or precision specialty pharmacy
relationship.
■ If elected, the SaveOnSP program is a benefit design change implemented by PBM in conjunction with
a third -party vendor, SaveOnSP. Within the SaveOnSP program, certain specialty medications are
classified as non-essential health benefits. In addition, the targeted drugs are assigned higher copays. In
all cases, SaveonSP helps the Member coordinate manufacturer -sponsored copay assistance. SaveOnSP
targets drugs in six of the top ten specialty categories. SaveOnSP is also available as "SaveOnSP
Advantage" for high deductible health plans.
■ If elected, PBM's Advanced Opioid ManagementsM program reaches out to physicians, pharmacists
and patients at key touchpoints to minimize early exposure to opioids and to prevent patients from
progressing to overuse and abuse. Patients will be required to start therapy with no more than a 7 -day
supply of short-acting medications (with certain exceptions). Member Education will start at the first
fill. Prescribers will be notified at the point of care when specific signs of misuse and abuse are observed.
3. Pricing Terms. The financial terms herein are conditioned on an exclusive arrangement and all other
specified conditions set forth in this Exhibit A. Client will pay to Administrator the amounts set forth below,
net of applicable Copayments. The application of Brand Drug and Generic Drug pricing below may be
subject to certain "dispensed as written" (DAW) protocols and Client defined Plan Design and coverage
policies for adjudication and Member Copayment purposes. Sales or excise tax or other governmental
surcharge, if any, will be the responsibility of Client.
Members will always pay based on the logic below:
■ Retail: Lowest of (i) the U&C price, (ii) Plan copayments/coinsurance, or (iii) discounted AWP
(including MAC price, when MAC pricing is applicable).

( 112023 Version)
■ Mail Order: Lower of (i) Plan copayments/coinsurance or (ii) discounted AWP (including MAC price,
when MAC pricing is applicable).
• If no adjudication rates are specified herein, each Prescription Drug Claim will be adjudicated to Client
at the applicable ingredient cost and will be reconciled to the applicable guarantee as set forth herein.
The discounted ingredient cost will be the lesser of MAC (as applicable), U&C or the applicable AWP
discount. Prescription Drug Claims dispensed at ESI Mail Pharmacy will be adjudicated to Client at the
applicable ingredient cost and will be reconciled to the applicable guarantee as set forth herein.
3.1 Pricing.
(a) Ingredient Cost. Administrator will offer an average aggregate annual discount as reflected below
on Client utilization to be calculated as follows. The pricing below will be implemented as of the
Addendum Effective Date. The pricing below will be guaranteed upon the start of Client's Renewal
Term (as described in the Agreement) that begins on or after the Addendum Effective Date.
[]-(total discounted AWP ingredient cost excluding dispensing fees and ancillary
charges, and prior to application of Copayments) of applicable Prescription Drug
Claims for the annual period divided by total undiscounted AWP ingredient cost (both
amounts will be calculated as of the date of adjudication) for the annual period)].
Discounted ingredient cost will be the lesser of MAC (as applicable), U&C or AWP
discount.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) a Prescription Drug Claim that
processes at the Brand Drug rates (Participating Pharmacy Reimbursement Rates) and
(Mail Pharmacy Reimbursement Rates), as indicated on the ingredient cost field of tile
Prescription Drug Claim's data record, shall be reconciled as part of the Brand Drug
guarantee below, and (ii) a Prescription Drug Claim that processes at the Generic Drug
rates (Participating Pharmacy Reimbursement Rates) and (Mail Pharmacy
Reimbursement Rates) above, as indicated on the ingredient cost field of the
Prescription Drug Claim's data record, shall be reconciled as part of the Generic Drug
guarantee below. The Prescription Drug Claims that may be excluded from the
reconciliation of the pricing guarantees are as identified in the "Prescription Drug
Claims Excluded" paragraphs below in addition to Prescription Drug Claims
dispensed in Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Virgin Islands, Hawaii,
Massachusetts, Alaska, West Virginia, and rural pharmacies. Furthermore, prices may
vary in certain states for reasons such as most favored nations laws, other state or local
legal requirements, geographic location, or other factors beyond the control of
Administrator. In those situations, some Claims may be exempt from reconciliation
of the financial guarantees set forth herein. All Claims may be aggregated for purposes
of such rates. Claims dispensed in states subject to NADAC or another pricing
benchmark required by law for pharmacy reimbursement may be excluded from
dispensing fee guarantees only. Additionally, under any retail pricing arrangement(s)
subject to NADAC pricing, Administrator will retrospectively invoice Client for the
difference between Client's contracted dispensing fee and any state mandated
pharmacy dispensing fee resulting from claims incurred in any state that mandates the
use of NADAC or another pricing benchmarks in pharmacy reimbursement.

Claims dispensed at West Virginia pharmacies may be excluded from dispensing fee guarantees or claims
subject to NADAC or another pricing benchmark required by law for pharmacy reimbursement will be
excluded from fee guarantees.
If applicable, Prescription Drug Claims filled through in-house pharmacies that are no bill, no remit or that
have not entered into an ESI pharmacy network agreement are excluded from the discount and dispensing
fee guarantees.
Dispensing Fees are inclusive of shipping and handling. If carrier rates (i.e., U.S. mail and/or applicable
commercial courier services) increase during the Tenn of this Agreement, the Dispensing Fee guarantees
will be increased to reflect such increase(s).
Guarantees will be measured and reconciled on an annual basis within 180 days of the end of each Contract
Year. The guarantees are annual guarantees - if this Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the
then current contract year or if the applicable Term or Renewal Term being reconciled is less than twelve
(12) months in length (hereinafter, a "Partial Contract Year"), then the guarantees will not apply for such
Partial Contract Year. Furthermore, in the event Client terminates the Agreement outside the terms and
conditions in the Agreement, Client forfeits the right to receive any shortfall payments for financial
guarantees. To the extent Client changes its benefit design or Formulary during the Term of the Agreement,
the guarantee will be equitably adjusted if there is a material impact on the discount achieved. Subject to the
remaining terms of this Agreement, Administrator will pay the difference of Client's cost for any shortfall
between the actual result and the guaranteed result. Shortfall payments for financial guarantees, if any, will
not be paid until this Agreement, including any applicable Client Application, and any amendment(s) or
addenda to this Agreement or Client Application, is signed. For purposes of measurement of any pricing
guarantee in this Agreement or Amendments to this Agreement, over performance in any component will not
be used to offset performance in any other measured pricing component.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Generic Drug guarantees set forth above
will include only those Prescription Drug Claims that processed to Client for payment where the underlying
prescription drug product was identified by Medi -Span as having a Multi -Source Indicator code identifier of
"Y" on the date dispensed (or was identified by Medi -Span as having a Multi -Source Indicator identifier of
an "M," "N," or "O" on the date dispensed, but was substituted and dispensed by the ESI Mail Pharmacy as
its "house generic"), unless such Prescription Drug Claim is otherwise excluded above. The Brand Drug
guarantees set forth above will include only those Prescription Drug Claims that processed to Client for
payment where the underlying prescription drug product was identified by Medi -Span as having a Multi -
Source Indicator code identifier of "M", "N", or "O" on the date dispensed (except in cases where the
underlying prescription drug product was substituted and dispensed by the ESI Mail Pharmacy as its "house
generic"), unless such Prescription Drug Claim is otherwise excluded above. The application of brand and
generic pricing may be subject to certain "dispensed as written" (DAW) protocols and Client or Plan defined
Plan Design and coverage policies for adjudication and Member Copayment purposes. If Medi -Span
discontinues reporting Multi -Source Indicator identifiers, Administrator reserves the right to make an
equitable adjustment as necessary to maintain the parties' relative economics and the pricing intent of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any rebate guarantees set forth in
this Agreement will be reconciled using the BGA.
Any generic claim that is considered a Single Source Product will be included in the generic reconciliation.
3.2 Specialty Products
(a) Exclusive Specialty. If Client elects exclusive specialty, then ESI Specialty Pharmacy is the
exclusive provider of Specialty Products for the reimbursement rates shown on the Exclusive ESI
Specialty Pharmacy Specialty Product List. Any Specialty Product dispensed at a Participating

Pharmacy or overrides) will be reimbursed at the standard Participating Pharmacy Specialty Product

rates shown below. Upon ESI Specialty Pharmacy acquisition of Exclusive or Limited Distribution
Products, Members will obtain prescriptions through ESI Specialty Pharmacy.
(b) Precision Specialty. In situations where regulations prevent implementation of Exclusive Specialty
arrangements, Plans may implement a Precision Specialty arrangement where the ESI Specialty
Pharmacy or a Specialty Precision Network participating retail pharmacy are the exclusive
pharmacies that may fill Specialty Products for Members (other than Exclusive or Limited
Distribution Products not available at the ESI Specialty Pharmacy or a Specialty Precision Network
participating retail pharmacy).
(c) Dispcnsinu� Fee for Specialty Products.
* Dispensing Fees are inclusive of shipping and handling. If carrier rates (i.e., U.S. mail and/or
applicable commercial courier services) increase during the Term of this Agreement, the
Dispensing Fee guarantees will be increased to reflect such increase(s).
(d) SPECIALTY NET EFFECTIVE DISCOUNT GUARANTEE Administrator guarantees the
overall annual net effective discount for the products listed on the Specialty Products List (excluding
Limited Distribution Products) pursuant to the table below. Within one hundred and eighty (180)
days following the end of each Contract Year, Administrator will calculate the actual net effective
discount for the products listed on the Specialty Products List to determine if the guarantee has been
met. Client will retain any amount that the actual net effective discount exceeds the guaranteed net
effective discount. The calculation for the actual net effective discount will be as follows: ((Total
Ingredient Cost for the products listed on the Specialty Products List) divided by (Total AWP for
the products listed on the Specialty Products List)) minus 1. This guarantee is contingent on Client's
participation in the National Preferred Formulary or Basic Formulary and an exclusive, precision,
or open specialty arrangement, as applicable. For Exclusive Specialty guarantees to be reconciled
annually and any shortfalls paid, Client must be enrolled in the Exclusive Specialty program for the
entire Contract Year.

The Extended Days' Supply pricing set forth in this Agreement shall be subject to certain requirements,
as follows. Extended Days' Supply shall mean; (1) for all lines of business other than Medicare or
EGWP, any supply ofa covered drug of 84 days orgreater; and (2) for Medicare or EGWP, ifapplicable,
any supply of a covered drug of 35 days or greater. Certain Participating Pharmacies have agreed to
participate in the extended (84 - 90) day supply network ("Maintenance Network") for maintenance
drugs. Rebate amounts in the 84 90 Days' Supply row in the table set forth above are applicable only
if Client implements a Plan Design that requires Members to fill such days' supply at a Maintenance
Network Participating Pharmacy (i.e., Client must implement a Plan Design whereby Members who fill
extended days' supply prescriptions at a Participating Pharmacy other than a Maintenance Network
Participating Pharmacy do not receive benefit coverage under the Plan for such prescription). If no such
Plan Design is implemented, Rebate amounts for such days' supply will be the same as for Prescription
Drug Claims for less than an 84 days' supply, and Rebate amounts for an 84 90 days' supply in the
table set forth above shall not apply, even if a Maintenance Network Participating Pharmacy is used.
Exclusions For Non -Specialty Rebates: Specialty Products, Member Submitted Claims, Subrogation
Claims, biosimilar products (excluding Semglee), Exclusive and Limited Distribution Products, vaccines,
OTC products (excluding insulin, diabetic strips, and test strips), claims older than 180 days, products filled

calendar quarter for Rebates received during the prior calendar quarter. Upon receipt, Administrator will
credit Client's account. For claims dispensed through In-house pharmacies, rebate payments shall be paid by
ESI since ESI is billing pharmaceutical manufacturers on behalf of the In-house pharmacies.
4. Conditions
4.1. PBM contracts with pharmaceutical manufacturers for Rebates on its own behalf and for its own
benefit, and not on behalf of Client. Accordingly, PBM retains all right, title and interest to any and
all actual Rebates received from manufacturers. PBM will pay to Administrator (and Administrator
shall pay to Client) amounts equal to the Rebate amounts allocated to Client, as specified above,
from PBM's general assets (neither Client, its Members, nor Client's Plan retains any beneficial or
proprietary interest in PBM's general assets). Client acknowledges and agrees that neither it, its
Members, nor its Plan will have a right to interest on, or the time value of, any Rebate payments
received by PBM during the collection period or moneys payable under this Section. No amounts
for Rebates will be paid until this Agreement, including any applicable Client Application, is
executed by Client. PBM and Administrator will have the right to apply Client's allocated Rebate
amount to unpaid Fees. PBM will retain Manufacturer Administrative Fees on Specialty Products.
4.2 PBM reserves the right to adjust the Rebate guarantees if Rebate revenue is materially decreased
because Brand Drugs move off -patent to generic status or due to a change in applicable law.
4.3 Client acknowledges that it may be eligible for Rebate amounts under this Agreement only so long
as Client, its affiliates, or its agents do not contract directly or indirectly with anyone else for
discounts, utilization limits, Rebates or other financial incentives on pharmaceutical products or
formulary programs for Prescription Drug Claims processed by PBM pursuant to the Agreement,
without the prior written consent of PBM. In the event that Client negotiates or arranges with a
pharmaceutical manufacturer for Rebates or similar discounts for any Covered Drugs hereunder, but
without limiting PBM's right to other remedies, PBM may immediately withhold any Rebate
amounts earned by, but not yet paid to, Client as necessary to prevent duplicative Rebates on
Covered Drugs. To the extent Client knowingly negotiates and/or contracts for discounts or Rebates
on claims for Covered Drugs without prior written approval of PBM, such activity will be deemed
to be a material breach of this Agreement, entitling PBM to suspend payment of Rebate amounts
hereunder and to renegotiate the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
4.4 Under its Rebate program, PBM may implement PBM's Formulary management programs and
controls, which may include, among other things, cost containment initiatives, and communications
with Members, Participating Pharmacies, and/or physicians. PBM reserves the right to modify or
replace such programs from time to time. Guaranteed Rebate amounts, if any, set forth herein, are
conditioned on adherence to various Formulary management controls, benefit design requirements,
claims volume, and other factors stated in the applicable pharmaceutical manufacturer agreements,
as communicated by PBM to Client from time to time. If any government action, change in law or
regulation, change in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or any action by a pharmaceutical
manufacturer has an adverse effect on the availability of Rebates, then PBM and Administrator may
make an adjustment to the Rebate terms and guaranteed Rebate amounts, if any, hereunder.
4.5 Rebate Acknowledgment; No Representation; Rebate Limitations. Client acknowledges that
Administrator is not making any representation, warranty or guarantee of any kind or nature, either
express, implied or otherwise, regarding the amount of Rebates to be paid or remitted to Client
pursuant to this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in writing herein. In addition, Client
waives, releases and forever discharges PBM and Administrator from any Losses arising from a
pharmaceutical company's (a) failure to pay Rebates; (b) breach of an agreement related to Rebates;
or (c) negligence or misconduct affecting Rebates. Client acknowledges that whether and to what
extent pharmaceutical companies are willing to provide Rebates to Client may depend upon a variety
of factors, including the content of the PDL, the Plan Design, Client meeting criteria for Rebates,

(1 12023 Version)
and the extent of participation in PBM's formulary management programs, as well as
PBM/Administrator receiving sufficient information regarding each Claim for submission to
pharmaceutical companies for Rebates. Client acknowledges and agrees that PBM may, but shall
not be required to, initiate any collection action to collect any Rebates from a pharmaceutical
company. In the event PBM does initiate collection action against a pharmaceutical company to
collect Rebates, PBM may offset any reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, arising from any such action. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, Administrator shall only be responsible for payment of Rebates to Client pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement if such Rebates are actually received by Administrator during the Term of
this Agreement. In no event shall Administrator be obligated to pay Rebates to Client until
Administrator receives payment for the same Rebates from PBM. In the event Client terminates the
Agreement outside the terms and conditions in the Agreement, Client forfeits the right to receive
any Rebates received by Administrator on Client's behalf after the date of such termination or notice
of termination. Client acknowledges that Administrator shall not be obligated to pay Client any
Rebates described herein until this Agreement, including any applicable Client Application, and any
amendment(s) or addenda to this Agreement or Client Application, is signed by Client. PBM and
Administrator reserve the right to apply Client's allocated Rebate amount to unpaid Fees.
5. Rebate amounts paid to Client pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be treated as "discounts" pursuant
to the federal anti -kickback statute set forth at 42 U.S.C. § 1320a -7b and implementing regulations. Client is
obligated if requested by the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, or as
otherwise required by applicable law, to report the Rebate amounts and to provide a copy of this notice. PBM
will refrain from doing anything that would impede Client from meeting any such obligation.
6. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, in the event PBM does not receive a
manufacturer payment for a particular Brand Drug claim due to its identification by a pharmaceutical
manufacturer as being a 340B eligible claim (even where such claim may not meet the definition of a "340B
Claim"), ESI may reduce a subsequent Rebate quarterly payment (or reconciliation payment, if applicable)
to account for any previously -paid Rebate amounts attributable to such claim up to one year after the Claims
date of service.
I . Member Cost Share. Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, dispense or cause to be dispensed a
prescription even if the prescription is not accompanied by the applicable Member Cost Share described
above in this Exhibit A. Administrator will refund any amount submitted by a Member in excess of the
Member's applicable Member Cost Share. In the event a Member submits an insufficient Member Cost
Share and the Member fails to remit the balance of the Member Cost Share amount to Administrator (or its
designee) within thirty (30) days of Administrator's (or its designee's) request, then Administrator shall have
the right to invoice Client for, and Client shall have an obligation to pay Administrator (or its designee), the
amount of the uncollected Member Cost Share(s). Client shall, in turn, have the right to recover uncollected
Member Cost Shares from its Members at Client's determination. Shipping of prescriptions submitted
without the appropriate Member Cost Share may be delayed.
2. Additional Optional Services: Charges for additional optional services not otherwise identified and priced
in this Exhibit A (Client Application) shall be quoted upon request and/or as applicable. The Parties
acknowledge that the arrangement between Administrator and PBM is a pass-through arrangement. To the
extent Client requests or PBM administers services of PBM that are not outlined in this Agreement,
Administrator will pass through any such charges from PBM to Client.
Translation Services. To the extent Client requests translation services from Administrator or PBM (for
translating member materials, brochures, etc.) and there is a charge from Administrator's or PBM's
translation services provider, such charge will be passed through to Client.

4.1 A change in the scope of services to be performed by Administrator or PBM or the assumptions

regulation, or the interpretation thereof, and/or; (2) any government imposed or industry wide
change that would impede Administrator's ability to provide the pricing described in this
Agreement, including without limitation any prohibition or restriction on the right of Administrator

4.6 A change in PBM's PDL or the PBM Prescribing Guide or Administrator's alignment with such
PDL or PBM Prescribing Guide. In any event, Administrator will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to provide Client with 30 days' notice prior to addition or removal of a drug from the PDL
or PBM's Prescribing Guide. In the event safety concerns or regulatory action require PBM to
remove a drug sooner, Administrator shall notify Client of the removal of a drug from the PDL or
the Prescribing Guide within three (3) business days.
4.7 Termination of Administrator's contractual arrangement with PBM.
