disclose the existence of this Agreement, or any terms or conditions of this Agreement, or Anthem's or its
Affiliates' status as a customer of CP Provider (provided that each Party may disclose the existence of this
Agreement when responding to a request for proposal or request for information) or (ii) provide a
hyperlink from any Internet site that it maintains to any Internet site maintained by the other Party or
any of the other Party's Affiliate. CP Provider shall not extract any information or other data from any
Internet site maintained by Anthem or any Anthem Affiliate, including framing and deep linking, without
the express written consent of Anthem. In addition, CP Provider has no license to use the Blue Cross
and/or Blue Shield names, symbols, or derivative marks (the "Brands") and nothing in the Agreement
shall be deemed to grant a license to CP Provider to use the Brands. Any references to the Brands made
by CP Provider in its own materials are subject to review and approval by Anthem.
16. Modification; Waiver. No modification to the Agreement shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by each Party. No delay or omission by either Party to exercise any right or power it
has under this Agreement shall impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power. A waiver by
any Party of any breach or covenant shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or
any other covenant. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the Party waiving its rights.
17. No Gratuities or Kickbacks. Anthem or MedAware may, by written notice to CP
Provider, terminate the Agreement, any SOW, and some or all rights of CP Provider hereunder, if Anthem
or MedAware has a reasonable cause to believe that gratuities (in the form of entertainment, gifts or
otherwise that are of inappropriate value and/or not in accordance with Anthem's policies in excess of
that which is reasonable and customary in Anthem's industry, or which would not be considered in good
taste if publicly scrutinized) were offered or given by CP Provider, or any employee, subcontractor, agent
or representative of CP Provider, to an officer or employee of Anthem or any Anthem Affiliate in a
position to secure or influence the awarding or amendment of the entire Agreement or, of any SOW or
any determination with respect to CP Provider's performance hereunder, or any decision or action
favorable to CP Provider.
18. Force Maieure.
a. General. A delay by a Party in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement
shall not be deemed a default of this Agreement to the extent that such delay is
attributable to a Force Majeure Event and could not have been prevented or minimized
by the non -performing Party by means of the exercise of reasonable precautions, or
cannot reasonably be circumvented by the non -performing Party in a commercially
reasonable manner, including through the use of alternate sources or work -around plans.

b. Right to Terminate. If a Force Majeure Event prevents, hinders or delays a Party's
ability to perform for more than ten (10) days and materially and adversely affects the
other Party, then in such event the other Party may, in its reasonable discretion, choose
to terminate the applicable Statement of Work upon written notice.
c. Force Majeure Event. The term "Force Majeure Event" shall mean a fire, flood,
earthquake, terrorism, pandemic or similar act beyond the reasonable control of a Party.
A strike, lockout or similar labor dispute by CP Provider personnel shall be deemed to be
within CP Provider's reasonable control. In addition, if CP Provider reasonably believes
that an act of war, riot, civil disorder, or rebellion is likely, either Party may request that
certain changes to the Services be proposed in light of such Force Majeure Event. Unless
otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, if MedAware and Anthem agree to changes
initiated by CP Provider due to an act of war, riot, civil disorder, or rebellion, CP Provider
shall bear all costs and expenses to perform and implement the changes. If MedAware
and Anthem do not agree to so change the Services, or if the event of war, riot, civil
disorder, or rebellion occurs, such event shall be deemed to be a Force Majeure Event.
d. Allocation of Resources. If a Force Majeure Event causes CP Provider to allocate
limited resources between or among CP Provider's customers, and if the Services are
disrupted by such Force Majeure Event, CP Provider shall not treat any other customer
better than Anthem Members. If a Force Majeure Event causes CP Provider to allocate
limited resources between or among CP Provider's customers, and if the Services are not
disrupted by such Force Majeure Event, CP Provider shall not reduce process capacity or
performance below the level of the process capacity and performance immediately prior
to the Force Majeure Event. In addition, CP Provider shall not redeploy or reassign any
key personnel to another CP Provider account in the event of a Force Majeure Event
without MedAware and Anthem's prior written consent.
19. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under Applicable Law, such provision shall be excluded from the Agreement
and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
20. Relationship of Parties. The Parties intend to be, are, and shall at all times be
independent contractors with respect to this Agreement and all performance under this Agreement.
Under no circumstances shall CP Provider, any CP Provider personnel, or any other of CP Provider's
employees, subcontractors, agents, or representatives be considered to be employees or agents of
MedAware or Anthem or any of MedAware or Anthem's Affiliates, or be entitled to participate in any of
MedAware's or Anthem's or their Affiliates' employee benefit programs including workers compensation
and disability insurance, group health, dental and vision insurance, unemployment insurance, retirement
plans, or stock -based benefits or plans. Neither Party is an agent, partner or employee of the other Party,
or its Affiliates, and neither Party has any right or any other authority to enter into any agreements or
undertaking in the name of or for the account of the other Party or to create or assume any obligations
of any kind, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party nor will the act or omissions of either create
any liability for the other Party. No form of joint employer, joint venture, partnership, or similar
relationship between the Parties, or between either Party and any Affiliate of the other Party, is intended
or hereby created. This Agreement shall in no way constitute or give rise to a partnership or joint venture
between the Parties. In no way shall Anthem be construed to be a provider of health services or
responsible for the provision of such health services.
21. Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in the Agreement are used for
convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting the Agreement.

22. Counterparts. The Agreement and any Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
23. Electronic Signatures. The Parties agree electronic signatures may be utilized for
execution of this Agreement and any attachments hereto, including but not limited to, Statements of
Work. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the issuance of an electronic signature shall be valid
and enforceable as to the signing Party to the same extent as an inked original signature; and (ii) these
documents shall constitute "original" documents when printed from electronic files and records
established and maintained by either Party in the normal course of business.
24. Deficit Reduction Act Notification to CP Provider. Section 6032 of the Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005 ("DRA') and state laws enacted pursuant to the DRA require certain entities such
as Anthem to establish policies and procedures to help the entity, and its contractors and agents, detect
and prevent fraud, waste and abuse relating to services provided for certain government funded
programs, including Medicaid. The DRA and state laws also require certain entities to make their
suppliers aware: (a) of the provisions of the False Claims Act and similar state statutes prohibiting anyone
from knowingly submitting or causing another person or entity to submit false claims for payment of
government funds; and (b) that any person in violation is potentially liable for three times the damages
or loss to the government plus substantial civil penalties (currently $5,500 to $11,000). In addition, the
False Statements Act prohibits anyone from making false statements or withholding material information
in connection with the delivery of services to, or payments from, the government. Violations of these
acts can also result in criminal convictions and imprisonment of up to five (5) years. As part of Anthem's
policies designed to prevent fraud, waste and abuse, Anthem does not retaliate against personnel who
report violations (or suspected violations) of state of federal False Claims Acts.
25. Covenant Not to Trade on Insider Knowledge. CP Provider acknowledges that
Anthem, Inc. is a publicly traded corporation. CP Provider agrees that it will not purchase or sell any stock
of Anthem based on Anthem Confidential Information. CP Provider further agrees that, if it discloses
Anthem Confidential Information to any other person or entity in accordance with this Agreement, it will
advise that other person or entity of the duty not to trade based on Anthem Confidential Information.
26. Cumulative Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all
remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any
other remedies available to either Party at law, in equity or otherwise.
27. No Third -Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not benefit, or create any right or
cause of action in or on behalf of, any person or entity other than MedAware, Anthem, their Affiliates and
assignees, or CP Provider; provided that if either Parry's Affiliates' has a cause of action under this
Agreement against the other Party, such action must be initiated by a Party to this Agreement against the
other Party, and not against such Parry's Affiliates directly.
28. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (and any exhibits attached hereto) sets forth the
entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof, and supersedes any and all
prior proposals, agreements, understandings, and contemporaneous discussions, whether oral or written,
between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Subcontract Agreement.
29. Dispute Resolution. MedAware and CP Provider agree that any dispute between them
arising out of this Agreement which cannot be settled by mutual agreement shall be submitted to final
and binding arbitration in Iowa under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"), including disputes concerning the scope, validity or applicability of this agreement to
arbitrate. Any demand for arbitration must be made within one (1) year of the date when the facts
underlying the claim were discovered or should have been discovered or the claim will be deemed

waived. The Parties shall select a single arbitrator by agreement within 30 days of the filing of a demand
for arbitration. If the Parties are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within the time period,
AAA shall select an independent arbitrator. Each Party shall assume its own costs related to the
arbitration except that the costs imposed by the AAA shall be shared equally.

Agreement and agree to be bound by its provisions as of the Effective Date.

based on the good faith opinion of such Party's legal counsel that disclosure is required by law or by order
of a court or governmental agency; provided that, the Party that is the recipient of such Confidential
Information shall give prompt notice to the Disclosing Party, use all commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, and cooperate with the owner of such
Confidential Information, in efforts to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information by an
appropriate protective order. The owner of such Confidential Information reserves the right to obtain a
protective order or otherwise protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. Each Party shall
be responsible for its own costs with respect to the performance of its obligations under this Section. Either
Party may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement to the extent required

including without limitation Exhibit F (Required Information Security Controls) of the MSA and other
Anthem security policies (collectively, the "Anthem Non-Disclosable Information"). Due to the sensitive
nature of the Anthem Non-Disclosable Information and due to Anthem's obligations to maintain the privacy
of its customers and providers, CP Provider acknowledges and agrees that Anthem Non-Disclosable
Information shall at all times remain confidential and shall not be subject to exceptions, except as set forth
in the BAA.
10.3 General Obligations. Each Party agrees to hold the Confidential Information of the other
Party in strict confidence, to use such information solely in the course of performing its obligations
hereunder, , and to make no disclosure of such information except as authorized in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. To the extent a Party may be exposed to the Confidential Information of a third
party (for example, because CP Provider may be maintaining Anthem systems on which third party software
is loaded, the Parties agree to accord such third party Confidential Information the same protections
accorded a Party's Confidential Information hereunder. A Party may disclose Confidential Information to
its personnel and the personnel of its subcontractors who have an absolute need to know such Confidential

confidentiality agreement imposing confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those applicable
hereunder. In addition, either Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to third party
professional advisors (including accountants, auditors, attorneys, financial or other advisors) which are
acting solely for the Party's benefit and on such Party's behalf, provided: (i) such professional advisors
have previously executed a written confidentiality agreement imposing confidentiality obligations no less
restrictive than those applicable hereunder; (ii) such professional advisors have a need to know such
information in order to provide advice or services to the disclosing Party and agree to use the disclosing
Party's Confidential Information solely for the purpose of providing such advice or services; (iii) such
professional advisors agree not to disclose the Confidential Information to any other Party without the
disclosing Parry's prior written consent; and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Anthem Non-
Disclosable Information is disclosed by the other Party to its professional advisors. Each Party shall be
primarily responsible and liable for any confidentiality breaches by its personnel and the personnel of its
subcontractors. Each Party shall immediately advise the other Party of any actual or potential violation of
the terms of this Section 10, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in relation thereto.
10.4 Continuing Obligations. A Party's obligation to maintain the confidentiality of
Confidential Information shall remain in force until information falls within one of the exceptions noted in
Section 10.2.2. CP Provider's obligation to maintain the confidentiality of Anthem Non-Disclosable
Information shall neither terminate nor expire.
10.5 Return of Confidential Information. Promptly upon expiration or termination of the entire
Agreement or of a SOW (with regard to the Confidential Information disclosed under the Agreement or
through such Agreement or SOW, as the case may be) or, in the case of Non-Disclosable Information at
any time upon Anthem's request, the Receiving Party shall promptly, at the Disclosing Party's option, either
return or destroy all (or, if the Disclosing Party so requests, any part) of the Confidential Information, and
all copies, summaries and redactions thereof and other materials containing such Confidential Information,
including deletion from such Party's files and systems and the Receiving Party shall certify in writing its
compliance with the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for PHI or NPFI (which shall be
promptly returned or destroyed), each Party may, subject to the obligations of confidentiality as described
in this Section 10, retain (i) one (1) copy of the other Party's Confidential Information for archival purposes
only, but such retained Confidential Information shall only be accessed by the retaining Party on a limited
MedAware Solutions— Waterloo Fire Rescue
Anthem Medicaid Program
Subcontract No. WFD07151001
Page 118
need basis to, for example, defend a claim by the other Party or for auditing purposes and (ii) reasonable
archival records of payments, invoices and similar information for tax compliance, regulatory compliance,
accounting, audit or similar purposes but only for the period of time required by this Agreement or
Applicable Law; in each instance, all such retained Confidential Information shall remain the Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party and shall be subject to all of the restrictions contained in this
Agreement.
10.6 Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges that in the event of a breach of this Section 10
damages may not be an adequate remedy and the Disclosing Party may be entitled to seek, in addition to
any other rights and remedies available under the Agreement or at law or in equity, injunctive relief to
restrain any such breach, threatened or actual, without proof of irreparable injury and without the necessity
of posting bond even if otherwise normally required.
11. INSURANCE
11.1 Minimum Requirements. CP Provider must have the following minimum insurance
coverage in place at all times during the Program, with insurers with an A.M. Best rating of A- or better:
a. Commercial General Liability insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate naming Anthem as an additional insured and containing a
waiver of subrogation;
b. Automobile Liability insurance with a minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence combined
single limit for owned, non -owned and hired automobiles;
c. Workers' Compensation coverage with statutory limits and employer's liability insurance,
containing a waiver of subrogation with respect to Anthem for workers' compensation when applicable
and permitted by law;
d. Professional Liability insurance, applicable to the Community Paramedicine industry or
specialty with a minimum $1,000,000 limit for each wrongful act and aggregate of not less than $3,000,000 if

policy, an extended reporting period endorsement ("tail policy") is required for the term of at least one year in
the amount of not less than the same limits above;
e. Commercial Crime/Employee Dishonesty with a limit of not less than $500,000. When
applicable, CP Provider will name Anthem as Loss Payee to the extent their interests may appear;
f. Umbrella Liability Coverage with a minimum of not less than $2,000,000.
g. The forgoing coverage amounts, with the exception of the Umbrella Liability coverage,
may be met in part by an appropriate umbrella or excess liability policy.
11.2 Any materials or equipment brought on jobsite shall be insured under an all risk property
insurance policy and shall be the sole responsibility of CP Provider.
11.3 Proof of Insurance; Notice of Cancellation. Promptly upon MedAware or Anthem's
written request for same, CP Provider shall cause its insurers or insurance brokers to issue certificates of
insurance evidencing that the coverages required under this Agreement are maintained and in force. In

and Anthem prior to cancellation or non -renewal of any of the policies providing such coverage; provided,
however that CP Provider shall not be obligated to provide such notice if, concurrently with such
MedAware Solutions— Waterloo Fire Rescue
Anthem Medicaid Program
Subcontract No. WFD07151001
Page 119
cancellation or non -renewal, CP Provider provides self-insurance coverage as described below or obtains
coverage from another insurer meeting the requirements described above. The furnishing of acceptable
evidence of insurance does not relieve CP Provider from any liability or obligation for which it is otherwise
responsible to MedAware or Anthem. The limits of insurance or applicable deductibles will not limit the
liability of CP Provider nor relieve CP Provider of any liability or financial responsibility. Failure to
maintain the required insurance coverage shall be deemed a material breach of the Agreement by CP
Provider. The failure of CP Provider to purchase or maintain such insurance coverages, or the failure of CP
Provider to provide, or of MedAware or Anthem to request, a copy of the certificates evidencing such
coverages will not be considered or construed as a waiver by MedAware or Anthem of the requirement that
CP Provider maintains such coverages, which such requirement will be continuing, and CP Provider
remains liable for all injuries and/or damages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
13. INDEMNIFICATION.
13.1 CP Provider's Indemnities. CP Provider shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
MedAware and Anthem and their Affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns (and its and their

Nonpublic Personal Financial Information by CP Provider, CP Provider shall indemnify MedAware and
Anthem for all costs incurred by MedAware related to the investigation as well as, at MedAware and/or

termination of this Agreement.

indemnifying Party can demonstrate sufficient financial and legal resources, indemnifying Party shall
control such defense and all negotiations relative to the settlement of any such claim, and further provided
MedAware Solutions — Waterloo Fire Rescue
Anthem Medicaid Program
Subcontract No. WFD07151001
Page 120
that any settlement intended to bind the indemnified Party or which may adversely affect the indemnified
Party shall not be fmal without such indemnified Parry's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claim relates to a violation of governmental law
or regulation as set forth in MSA Section 13.1 or to a breach of the indemnifying Parry's obligations relating
to PHI and NPFI as set forth in MSA Section 13.1, and the indemnified Part determines in its own discretion
it has a compelling interest in conducting its own defense, then the indemnifying Party shall indemnify the
indemnified Party for its reasonable costs of defense (including attorneys' fees) and for all related damages,
assessment of fines, penalties or other regulatory assessment, and/or settlement or compromise (and
provided the indemnified Party gives the indemnifying Party an opportunity to comment on any proposed

CP Provider and Anthem under the MSA. Disputes between CP Provider and MedAware shall be resolved
in accordance with the provisions of Section 24 (Dispute Resolution) of the Agreement.
16.1 Informal Dispute Resolution.
16.1.1 Good Faith Efforts. The Parties agree that they will make a good faith attempt to resolve
any dispute arising under this Agreement before instituting legal action. Such good faith attempt shall
include, but not be limited to, elevating the issue to management personnel of each Party who have the
power to settle the dispute on behalf of that Party and, failing that, to a vice president level executive for
each Party, as noted in 16.1.2 below.
16.1.2 Escalation to Executives. To the extent any disagreements arising under this Agreement
are not resolved by the management personnel of each Party within a reasonable time after the occurrence
of the disagreement, either Party may give to the other notice in writing (the "Notice") that a dispute has
arisen. The Notice shall contain (i) a detailed description of the dispute and all relevant underlying facts,
and (ii) a detailed description of the amount(s) in dispute and how they have been calculated. Within
fourteen (14) days after the date of the Notice, such dispute shall be referred to a vice president level
executive for each Party.
16.1.3 Failure of Informal Efforts. If such executive officers of both Parties are unable to resolve
the dispute within fourteen (14) days of the referral to them, either Party shall be free to pursue any claim
in accordance with this Section 16.
16.2 Binding Arbitration.
16.2.1 Except as otherwise provided below in this paragraph, all disputes that arise from or relate
to this Agreement shall be decided exclusively by binding, non -appealable arbitration in,lowa under the tDeleted: St. Louis, Missouri D
JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules (the "Rules"), provided, however, the Parties may agree in writing
to further modify the Rules. The dispute shall be decided by a sole arbitrator, who shall be a retired or
former judge, or an attorney with at least ten (10) years of experience, and be mutually acceptable to the
Parties. If the amount in controversy exceeds two million dollars ($2,000,000.00), then a three person panel
of arbitrators with similar qualifications shall preside rather than a sole arbitrator, unless the Parties agree
in writing that the dispute shall be decided by a sole arbitrator. The sole arbitrator (or panel) shall be
selected by mutual agreement of the Parties, or, if the Parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator within ten
(10) days, then each Party shall select an arbitrator who shall confer and select a third arbitrator to serve.
If a three person panel is required, each Party shall select an arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall together
designate a third to serve with them on such panel. The arbitrator shall issue a short written statement (not
MedAware Solutions — Waterloo Fire Rescue
Anthem Medicaid Program
Subcontract No. WFD07151001
Page 121
to exceed 15 pages, excluding exhibits) setting forth its decision and reasons therefore. The Parties agree
that the arbitrator's award shall be final, and may be filed with and enforced as a final judgment by any
court of competent jurisdiction.
16.2.2 Costs and Fees. Each Party will bear its own attorneys' fees and its own costs and expenses
(including filing fees), and will also bear one half of the total arbitrator's and other administrative fees of
arbitration.
16.2.3 No Power to Alter Agreement. The arbitrator shall have no power to (i) award damages in
excess of the amount or other than the types allowed by Section 14 (Limitation of Liability); or (ii) alter
any of the provisions of this Agreement. Either Party may seek interim measures of protection concerning
any subject matter of the dispute subject to arbitration, including but not limited to interim injunctive relief,
in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Waterloo, Iowa.
16.2.4 Appeal. If the total amount of the arbitration award is five million dollars ($5,000,000) or
more, inclusive of interest, costs, and attomeys' fees, the Parties shall have the right to appeal the decision
of the arbitrator(s) pursuant to the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure. In reviewing a decision
of the arbitrator(s), the appeal panel shall apply the same standard of review that a United States Court of
Appeals would apply in reviewing a similar decision issued by a United States District Court in the
jurisdiction in which the arbitration hearing was held.
16.3 Disputes Involving Confidential Information or Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the
