Each Party’s Relationship Manager’s role and responsibilities would include: (a) facilitating day-to-day communications between the Parties regarding customer-facing activities, such as, marketing, promotional and sales activities; preparing and submitting bids, proposals, responses to Requests for Proposals (“RFPs”), fee estimates, Statements of Work and project plans; (b) receiving and submitting requests between the Parties for information and/or assistance; (c) overseeing the efficient knowledge transfer and flow of information between the Parties, including between Evolent and members of the UPMC Leadership; (d) facilitating communications between the appropriate individuals within Evolent and UPMC, with respect to product and service offering development; and (e) providing the first level of performance review or escalation in the event of a Dispute as provided in Article 20. The Relationship Managers will meet regularly, but no less

 

7


frequently than monthly, as reasonably necessary, to maintain a good working relationship between the Parties. Each Party may change its Relationship Manager by giving the other Party reasonable notice as long as the change is implemented in a manner that does not cause any significant disruption to each Party’s business operations and business relationship. To aid the Parties in sales and service resource planning, Evolent’s Relationship Manager shall provide UPMC’s Relationship Manager with written reports on a monthly basis, or on such other timetable as both Parties’ Relationship Managers agree, concerning Evolent’s sales pipeline, orders in progress, future orders, customer information and feedback, and such other matters pertaining to UPMC Services as UPMC may reasonably request.

2.3 Best Efforts: It is the Parties’ mutual intent and desire for Evolent to be able to effectively promote, market and sell the UPMC Services as top tier, “Best in Class” and priced competitively, and UPMC as a preferred vendor of such services and the exclusive vendor of the Exclusive TPA Services. Accordingly, Evolent agrees to use its Best Efforts to promote, market and sell the UPMC Services, including without limitation the Exclusive TPA Services as priced in Schedule 1. “Best efforts” shall mean, among other things and, as appropriate in any particular circumstance, inviting the appropriate UPMC personnel to participate in sales discussions with prospective customers at the appropriate stage. For the sake of clarity, Evolent agrees and acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 2.3, shall operate to limit, or be deemed to limit or excuse, Evolent’s continued, ongoing compliance with its obligations with respect to Exclusive TPA Services as set forth in Sections 4.2.1 and 11.1.2 below. UPMC acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate success or failure of the Parties to enter into agreements with customers for UPMC Services, including Exclusive TPA Services, is contingent upon UPMC’s fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement.

2.4 Reservation of Rights: Except as set forth in Sections 4.2.1 and 11.1.2 below, Evolent’s obligation under Section 2.3, and appointment as a non-exclusive reseller does not preclude Evolent from itself, developing, acquiring or offering any services directly to its customers. Likewise, except as expressly set forth in Article 11, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, or otherwise be deemed to restrict or prohibit UPMC from the use and/or provision of UPMC Services for internal use of UPMC and/or UPMC’s Affiliates or preclude UPMC from providing services to any third parties inside or outside the UPMC Territory, directly or indirectly at any time during this Agreement, or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

2.5 Expiration of the Restriction Period:

2.5.1 For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions imposed on Evolent under this Agreement with respect to its interactions with entities within the UPMC Territory and with Restricted Companies shall expire and will no longer apply upon the expiration of the Territorial Restriction Period and the Restriction Period, respectively.

2.5.2 Notwithstanding Section 2.5.1 above, or any other provision of this Agreement, UPMC shall have sole discretion over whether or not it shall enter into a Statement of Work involving a Restricted Company, whether before or after the Restriction Period.

3. TRIGGERS FOR EQUITY ADJUSTMENT.

3.1 Equity Adjustment: In the event the cumulative Revenue recognized by UPMC (“Cumulative UPMC Revenue”) during the forty-eight (48) month period commencing as of August 31, 2011 and ending August 31, 2015 (the “Measurement Period”) is less than [***] (the “Minimum Equity Adjustment Revenue Threshold”), including in the calculation of Cumulative UPMC Revenue any Shortfall payments made pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Original UPMC Reseller Agreement and/or the First Amended and Restated Reseller Agreement, then Evolent shall, within thirty (30) days following the close of the Measurement Period, issue to UPMC 250,000 shares of its common stock (the “Maximum Adjustment Shares”). In the event that Cumulative UPMC Revenue during the Measurement Period is between the Minimum Equity Adjustment Revenue Threshold and [***] (the “Maximum Equity Adjustment Revenue Threshold”), then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days following the close of the Measurement Period, issue to UPMC such number of the Maximum Adjustment Shares as is determined by the following formula:

[(A – B) / (A—C))] * D

Where:

A equals the Maximum Equity Adjustment Revenue Threshold;

B equals the Cumulative UPMC Revenue;

C equals the Minimum Equity Adjustment Revenue Threshold; and

D equals the number of Maximum Adjustment Shares;

provided, that in no event shall the number of shares issued hereunder exceed the Maximum Adjustment Shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and the like).

3.2 As used herein, “Revenue” is comprised of all revenue actually received by UPMC generated by or attributable to the efforts of Evolent in connection with the marketing, promotion and sale activities relating to all the UPMC Services and any additionally Available Services, as calculated during the Measurement Period.

 

4. UPMC SERVICES.

4.1 UPMC Services:

4.1.1 General: In each SOW, Evolent may designate any services listed on Schedule 1 (UPMC Services) to be delivered by UPMC to the designated Evolent Client pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and each applicable SOW.

4.1.2 Additional Services: In each SOW, the Parties may mutually agree upon ancillary, changed, new and other additional services to be provided by UPMC to the Evolent Client.

4.2 Exclusive TPA Services:, UPMC shall have the exclusive right, i.e., exclusive as to Evolent and to other TPA Service vendors and providers, to provide certain services as generally described in this Section 4.2 (the “Exclusive TPA Services”) to Evolent, for resale by Evolent to its customers. The Exclusive TPA Services are as set forth on Schedule 1.

4.2.1 Best Efforts: Without limiting any of Evolent’s other obligations under this Agreement, Evolent will use its Best Efforts (as described in Section 2.3 above) to engage Evolent customers to obtain Exclusive TPA Services from UPMC hereunder. Subject to Evolent’s ongoing compliance with its obligations under this Section 4.2.1 and 11.1.2 below, UPMC acknowledges that, despite Evolent’s Best Efforts, Evolent’s customers may ultimately, at the customer’s own discretion, elect to obtain Exclusive TPA Services through Evolent or through other sources. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when an Evolent Client elects to purchase or obtain Exclusive TPA Services from Evolent, UPMC shall be the exclusive provider of such services, and Evolent shall not in-source or directly or indirectly, steer or otherwise encourage Evolent customers to obtain Exclusive TPA Services from any party other than UPMC. Evolent agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly provided on Schedule 1, the Exclusive TPA Services may not be unbundled or disaggregated.

4.3 Pharmacy Benefit Management Services: UPMC agrees to make available to Evolent and Evolent Clients, the Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (“PBM Services”) as set forth on Schedule 1, subject to the restrictions and pricing set forth therein. The Parties expressly understand and agree that the services and pricing on Schedule 1 are effective through December 31, 2014. Evolent must provide notice to UPMC on or before February 1, 2014 (the “Notice Date”) of Evolent’s or any Evolent Client’s desire not to utilize UPMC for PBM Services. All Evolent Clients electing to receive PBM Services after the Notice Date must agree to minimum three-year terms with respect to those PBM Services.

4.4 Changing Nature of Services: During the Agreement Term, the Parties will evaluate new service lines, improvements that may enhance the Services, or other changes to the Services. Either Party may propose such changes in accordance with the Change Control procedures.

4.5 New Services: Evolent shall provide notice to UPMC and permit UPMC a reasonable opportunity to bid on consulting or other additional services that are outside the scope of the then-current list of UPMC Services (“New Services”) by providing UPMC with a detailed written document substantially similar to the requirements Evolent may distribute to other third party service providers identifying such New Services. Any agreement of the Parties with respect to such New Services will be separately specified in the Parties’ Master Services Agreement, new Statements of Work, Project Work Orders or Change Orders, which will include such matters as project scope, staffing, schedule, deliverables, fees and financial terms, acceptance and applicable Evolent responsibilities.

 

10


4.6 Additional Services: If during the Term UPMC develops or decides to offer for sale any new or additional products or services offerings that may be suitable for potential customers (“Additional Services”), UPMC agrees that Evolent may be granted the right, on a non-exclusive basis, to resell such Additional Services. UPMC shall notify Evolent in writing of such Additional Services and Evolent shall notify UPMC in writing whether or not it wishes to pursue a potential reseller arrangement for the Additional Services.

4.7 Statements of Work:

4.7.1 Throughout the Term, Evolent shall offer to UPMC Statements of Work designating specific UPMC Services to be provided by UPMC, directly or through a UPMC Affiliate, to Evolent Clients. Any such Statements of Work shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B Template Statement of Work). Each Statement of Work is subject to UPMC’s acceptance at UPMC’s commercially reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the designation by UPMC of an Affiliate to provide the UPMC Services, UPMC shall remain responsible and liable for the performance of all obligations relating to such UPMC Services.

4.7.2 The specific description, price, SLAs, and other project, service, and/or project/customer-specific terms for a particular service shall be set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. Each such Statement of Work or SOW shall be governed generally by the terms and conditions of this Agreement except to the extent the SOW provides terms specific to the particular transaction that are not contained in this Agreement in which case the SOW shall control. In the event of any other conflict between the terms of the SOW and the terms herein, the Agreement shall control except to the extent that the SOW specifically references the section in the Agreement and states that the SOW should supersede the term in this Agreement. With respect to any given Evolent Client, UPMC shall be responsible for, and liable, only for those UPMC Services, SLAs and other details set forth in applicable SOWs and in this Agreement. Evolent has the right to pass-through to each Evolent Client the warranties (including SLAs), liabilities and obligations provided by UPMC to Evolent, as long as such warranties, liabilities and obligations are not in excess of the warranties, liabilities/obligations expressly undertaken by UPMC.

4.7.3 Each SOW shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth herein, but shall each be treated as a separate, divisible contract between the Parties governing the UPMC Services expressly specified in the SOW and other contractual obligations between the Parties for the relevant Evolent Client specified on the SOW. Each SOW shall become effective as of the date specified in each SOW (each, the “SOW Effective Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions governing termination of a SOW set forth in Article 18 below, the term, and any renewal options, of each SOW shall be specified in each SOW (each, the “SOW Term”).

4.7.4 Upon the termination or expiration of any agreement between Evolent and an Evolent Client (each, an “Evolent Client Agreement”) that includes UPMC Services covered by an SOW, such SOW shall terminate or expire, as applicable, automatically at the same time as the Evolent Client Agreement.

 

11


4.8 Compliance with Evolent Client Policies: Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.8, UPMC agrees that all UPMC Services provided under each SOW and all employees providing such UPMC Services shall be subject to and shall comply with applicable provisions of Evolent Clients’ policies and procedures as disclosed or reasonably made available to UPMC prior to the execution of each SOW (“Evolent Client Policies”). Evolent Clients may amend the applicable Evolent Client Polices from time to time during the applicable SOW Term through the Change Control Process and UPMC shall comply with the changed Evolent Client Policies. To the extent UPMC’s compliance with changed Evolent Client Policies under a SOW are reasonably expected to create a material incremental cost for UPMC, UPMC shall be entitled to have such costs reflected in Change Order. UPMC’s obligations with respect to any Evolent Client Policy, including any amendments thereto, shall be subject to UPMC’s right to reject Evolent Client Policies that are inconsistent with UPMC’s legal interpretation of applicable law. UPMC shall have no obligation to consider or comply with a particular Evolent Client Policy, or amendment thereto, unless Evolent provides to UPMC a written copy of such Evolent Client Policy, or amendment, with sufficient advanced notice so as to provide UPMC, using commercially reasonable efforts, the opportunity to review, consider, discuss and comment on such Evolent Client Policy. Evolent shall make the Evolent Client Policies reasonably available to UPMC through electronic means or such other means that Evolent makes them available to its own employees. UPMC shall promptly inform Evolent if UPMC becomes aware of any conduct that violates the Evolent Client Policies.

4.9 Legal and Regulatory Compliance:

4.9.1 UPMC shall provide the UPMC Services (including without limitation the related IT Systems) in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines issued by regulatory agencies, as well as applicable accreditation standards. UPMC shall obtain and maintain, throughout the Term all necessary approvals, licenses, permits (including a third party administrator license if such is required in a specific state where an Evolent Client is being served), consents and other forms of documentation required in order to materially comply with all Laws that may be applicable to performance of the UPMC Services. In addition, without limiting anything else in this Agreement, UPMC shall provide the UPMC Services to enable Evolent to remain at all times in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and all applicable accreditation standards; provided, however, that UPMC shall not be responsible for any actions, or failures to act, by Evolent personnel or contractors that cause Evolent to not be or remain in such compliance. UPMC shall cause any Subcontractors to obtain and maintain, at no cost to Evolent or Evolent Clients, all approvals, permissions, permits, licenses, and other forms of documentation required in order to comply with all Laws that may be applicable to performance of the UPMC Services. Evolent shall have the right to reasonably request and review all such permits and licenses prior to the commencement of any UPMC Services hereunder. Without limiting anything else in this Agreement, UPMC shall provide Evolent a written attestation, upon request, to verify the accuracy of any information within the purview of UPMC relating to the UPMC Services with respect to which Evolent may be required to certify to an applicable federal or state agency.

4.9.2 UPMC represents that neither it nor its owners, directors, officers or employees are excluded from participation in any federal health care programs, as defined under 42.U.S.C.§1320a-7b(f), or any state’s Medicaid program (“Federal Exclusion”),

 

12


and to UPMC’s knowledge, there are no pending governmental investigations that may lead to such exclusion. UPMC agrees to promptly notify Evolent of the commencement of any such exclusion or investigation of UPMC, its owners or employees. In the event any employee of UPMC is or becomes subject to Federal Exclusion, UPMC shall promptly remove such employee from providing any UPMC Services under the applicable SOW.

4.10 UPMC’s Material Contracts and Facilities/Systems: Consistent with UPMC’s obligations to provide the UPMC Services, UPMC shall take any and all necessary steps, including, without limitation, the making of reasonable capital expenditures, to maintain in force and effect any licenses, leases, or other contracts reasonably necessary for UPMC to perform the UPMC Services (“Material Contracts”). In the event that a Material Contract is terminated, enjoined, or otherwise inoperative, UPMC shall itself provide the particular services or systems at issue or use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a new Material Contract with a new replacement vendor for purposes of providing the particular services or systems at issue.

4.11 Payment of Fine: If UPMC is responsible for payment of a fine or penalty assessed against Evolent due to the intentional misconduct or negligent act or omission of UPMC personnel, UPMC shall, with the written approval of Evolent, have the right to contest, by appropriate legal proceedings in the name of and on behalf of Evolent, the facts underlying the fine or the penalty and the validity or application of any law, ordinance, rule, ruling, regulation, order or requirement of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the operation of Evolent. Evolent, after giving its written approval, shall cooperate with UPMC with regard to the contest. UPMC shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all expenses and costs relating to the proceedings.

4.12 Exceptions: Without limiting any other provisions in the Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.2.1 above and Section 11.1.2 below, Evolent shall have the option of developing, acquiring from another source, and/or providing any UPMC Services (itself or through a third party), other than Exclusive TPA Services. Additionally, as to Exclusive TPA Services, Evolent shall have the option of acquiring from another source and/or providing (itself or through a third party) any Exclusive TPA Services for a particular Evolent Client (a) for which UPMC is not meeting the applicable Service Levels for that Evolent Client, provided that Evolent notifies UPMC in writing as soon as Evolent becomes aware that UPMC is not meeting the applicable Service Levels and affords UPMC a reasonable period of time to remedy the failure to meet the applicable Service Levels; or (b) who requires different or additional TPA capabilities or services, or suite of TPA services, which are not offered by UPMC and cannot otherwise be made available by UPMC within the reasonable timeframe required by the Evolent Client. In addition, if (i) Evolent requests that UPMC provide for an Evolent Client one or more of the Exclusive TPA Services, and (ii) UPMC is unwilling or unable to provide all of the Exclusive TPA Services requested by Evolent, then Evolent may, in its reasonable discretion, either (1) arrange for UPMC to provide to said Evolent Client those UPMC Services which UPMC is willing and able to provide in accordance with the terms hereof, or (2) release UPMC from the provision of UPMC Services to said Evolent Client, and acquire from another source, and/or provide (itself or through a third party) any or all of the UPMC Services (including Exclusive TPA Services) to be provided to said Evolent Client.

 

5. PRICING.

 

13


5.1 Pricing Structure: The pricing and terms between Evolent and UPMC for (1) Exclusive TPA Services and (2) PBM Services are set forth on Schedule 1. Pricing expectations for Exclusive TPA Services and PBM Services will be subject to renegotiation between UPMC and Evolent following the expiration of their respective Pricing Periods as set forth in Schedule 1. In the event UPMC and Evolent are not able to agree on revised pricing consistent with competitive market pricing (“Competitive Market Pricing”) with respect to Exclusive TPA Services, a mutually acceptable third party shall be engaged to determine Competitive Market Pricing for Exclusive TPA Services. UPMC shall have the option to accept the Competitive Market Pricing as determined by the independent third party or waive its exclusive right to provide Exclusive TPA Services, thereby enabling Evolent to pursue other alternatives to provide (itself or through a third party) or to acquire from another source, any Exclusive TPA Services. In the event UPMC elects to proceed on the basis of the renegotiated pricing as described above such renegotiated terms will take effect for new Evolent Clients as of January 1, 2018 and will remain effective through December 31, 2022. With respect to all other UPMC Services hereunder, Evolent and UPMC shall comply with the fees provisions and other financial terms as specified in each applicable SOW.

5.2 Taxes:

5.2.1 For each SOW, each Party will be responsible for (i) any personal or real property taxes, fixed asset taxes and registration taxes on property it owns or leases (other than property subleased to the other Party), (ii) employment taxes of its own employees, and (iii) taxes based on its net income or gross receipts.

5.2.2 Evolent will be financially responsible for all taxes imposed on the UPMC Services by any taxing authority, which such taxes may be comprised of services, sales, use, excise, consumption, or taxes arising as a result of receipt of the UPMC Services. As requested by Evolent, UPMC will work with Evolent to efficiently manage and mitigate, as legally permissible, any applicable taxes, including the recovery of recoverable taxes.

5.2.3 Subject to each Party’s responsibility for its own taxes, the Parties will cooperate to reduce or mitigate taxes related to this Agreement and each SOW, and to segregate, if required, the fees into the following separate payment streams: (i) those for taxable UPMC Services, (ii) those for nontaxable UPMC Services, and (iii) reimbursable expenses. UPMC will not collect or include in its invoices any sales or use taxes for which Evolent has furnished a properly executed and valid exemption certificate or direct pay permit.

5.3 Payment Terms: Unless otherwise set forth in a particular SOW, the payment terms are as follows:

5.3.1 Timing of Payments. Except for fees subject to a good faith dispute under Section 5.3.2, for each Statement of Work, UPMC will submit an invoice to Evolent for fees that are due to UPMC on a monthly basis (or such other basis as specified in the SOW) and Evolent shall pay UPMC for such invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in an SOW. In accordance with Section 5.3.2 below, for payable invoices disputed by Evolent, no interest will be assessed. The payment of UPMC’s invoices by Evolent shall not necessarily constitute acceptance of such

 

14


UPMC Services by Evolent or its customer, with Evolent reserving all rights thereto. If UPMC or Evolent discovers billing errors resulting in an overpayment by Evolent for the UPMC Services, UPMC shall promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of discovery) refund such amounts to Evolent.

5.3.2 Disputed Amounts. Evolent may withhold payment, without incurring any interest liability or being in breach of this Agreement, on all amounts disputed in good faith under this Agreement. Evolent shall notify UPMC of a dispute within ten (10) business days of the receipt of an invoice, and the Parties shall mutually agree and define a process to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt a disputed invoice consistent with Article 20.

 

6. SERVICE LEVELS.

6.1 General: Commencing upon each SOW Service Level Commencement Date, UPMC’s performance of the UPMC Services will meet or exceed each of the applicable service level standards identified in the applicable SOW (collectively, the “Service Levels” or “SLAs”) as of dates set forth therein. UPMC hereby agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth to the contrary in any SOW, the Service Level for the performance of the UPMC Services under any SOW shall at least meet the standards described in Schedule 8 attached hereto.

6.2 Reserved.

6.3 Periodic Review; Annual Improvement: On an annual basis during the SOW Term, the Parties will jointly review: (i) the then-current Service Levels; and (ii) any additional relevant internal and external information that may impact Service Levels and performance. The Service Levels may be adjusted, as mutually agreed through the Change Control procedures. As part of such review process, the Parties may jointly add, modify or delete Service Levels.

6.4 Service Level Credits: Except as may be otherwise expressly agreed hereunder or in an SOW, the Service Level Credits specified in an SOW shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for UPMC’s failure to meet Service Levels thereunder.

6.5 Service Levels for Exclusive TPA Services: Standard service levels for Exclusive TPA Services (the “TPA Service Levels”) are set forth on Schedule 8. The TPA Service Levels will be subject to renegotiation between UPMC and Evolent following the expiration of the Exclusive TPA Pricing Period as set forth on Schedule 1. In the event UPMC and Evolent are not able to agree on revised service levels, a mutually acceptable third party shall be engaged to determine competitive market service levels (“Competitive Market Service Levels”) for the Exclusive TPA Services. The parties agree that if they have contemporaneous disputes regarding Competitive Market Service Levels under this Section 6.5 and Competitive Market Pricing under Section 5.1, above, the same independent third party will be engaged to determine both the Competitive Market Pricing and Competitive Market Service Levels. UPMC shall have the option to accept the Competitive Market Service Levels as determined by the independent third party or to waive its exclusive right to provide Exclusive TPA Services, thereby enabling Evolent to pursue other alternatives to provide (itself or through a third party)

 

15


or to acquire from another source, any Exclusive TPA Services. In the event UPMC elects to proceed on the basis of the renegotiated TPA Service Levels as described above, such renegotiated terms will take effect for new Evolent Clients as of January 1, 2018 and will remain effective through December 31, 2022.

 

7. CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS.

7.1 Ability to Request Change: From time to time during the Term, a Party may propose changes in or additions to the UPMC Services or other aspects of the Agreement or any Statement of Work (each, a “Change Order”). “Change Order(s)” means any change to Evolent’s business (including operations and strategy) or requirements or UPMC’s delivery that results in a change: (a) to the UPMC Services, project staff, software, systems or equipment used to provide the UPMC Services that may materially alter the functionality, technical environment or performance standards related to the UPMC Services or have a material impact on Evolent or a Evolent customer, or (b) to the manner in which the UPMC Services are delivered or received. If Evolent requests a Change Order with respect to the UPMC Services, UPMC and Evolent shall mutually agree on the impact of the Change Order on the UPMC Services and on the Fees. All Change Orders shall require the prior approval of Evolent’s and UPMC’s respective designated representatives, Evolent shall have no obligation to pay fees for any Change Order until so approved, and UPMC shall not be responsible or liable for services for any Change Order until so approved.

7.2 Changes Mandated by Law: Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to the implementation of a Change Order requested by Evolent that is required in order for Evolent or the UPMC Services to comply with applicable Law (a “Mandatory Change”), UPMC shall be obligated to undertake such Mandatory Changes as provided herein. To the extent such Mandatory Changes are required in order for the UPMC Services to be in compliance with Laws that apply to UPMC, such Mandatory Changes shall be made at no cost to Evolent. To the extent Change Orders for Mandatory Changes are not addressed by the preceding sentence and Change Orders for Mandatory Changes require material expenditure of money or resources by UPMC to complete, the Parties shall confer and mutually agree on the Change Order, including without limitation, the appropriate allocation of costs and expenses to implement such Mandatory Change. For the sake of clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, where a Mandatory Change is not commercially feasible, UPMC shall have the right to withdraw and/or terminate the performance and availability of affected UPMC Services (including without limitation affected UPMC Services on pending and/or outstanding Statements of Work) so long as UPMC is doing so for all of its customers. Each Party shall cooperate with the other in reasonably evaluating any requested Change Order. Evolent shall have no obligation to pay fees for any Change Order until properly approved by authorized personnel at Evolent. Provided, however, Evolent shall have the right to provide the affected UPMC Services itself or engage a third party supplier to provide the UPMC Services, and deduct from the Minimum Revenue the amounts of: (a) any penalty paid to Evolent customers or deductions in price charged to customers, if any, resulting from UPMC’s terminating its performance on pending and/or outstanding Statements of Work; (b) the revenues paid by Evolent to a third party service provider brought in to replace UPMC associated with providing the affected UPMC Services; (c) the reasonable cost of obtaining a substitute supplier for such affected UPMC Services (if higher than the cost that was charged or would have been charged by UPMC for such affected UPMC Services); and (d) any

 

16


other reasonable cost incurred by Evolent directly attributable to UPMC’s withdrawal or termination of the affected UPMC Services.

7.3 Change Control Process. Promptly following the Effective Date, the Parties shall develop and implement change control procedures (the “Change Control Process”) to address any Change Orders requested by a Party, which Change Control Process will be consistent with the process and governance structure set forth in the Governance Agreement.

 

8. OBLIGATIONS OF UPMC.

8.1 Assignment and Management of Resources:

8.1.1 UPMC will provide the level of resources as reasonably required to meet its obligations under this Agreement and each SOW. UPMC will appoint and manage individuals with reasonably suitable training, experience, and skills to perform the particular type of services in accordance with the timetables and Service Levels as required by this Agreement and the particular SOW.

8.1.2 All persons providing Evolent or Evolent Clients with the UPMC Services shall be employees of UPMC, except for Subcontractors. All employees retained by UPMC to provide the UPMC Services shall be and remain UPMC employees and UPMC shall be solely responsible for the payment of all wages, fringe benefits, workers’ compensation and taxes associated with those employees.

8.1.3 UPMC shall be solely responsible for the hiring, maintenance, termination, and supervision of all employees and Subcontractors retained by UPMC to provide the UPMC Services, and all decisions regarding hiring, staffing levels, assignment, compensation, and termination of all such personnel shall be at the sole discretion of UPMC. UPMC agrees, represents and warrants that all personnel assigned to Evolent or otherwise working on the Evolent Client accounts shall be fully trained and qualified, as appropriate for the particular responsibilities and/or assignment(s) they are given for purposes of this Agreement, and shall perform their responsibilities in a professional, timely, and competent manner, in accordance with the reasonable standards of the industry, and in accordance with sound and acceptable professional practices and standards.

8.1.4 If Evolent reasonably believes that the performance or conduct of any UPMC employee is not in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or an SOW, Evolent shall so notify UPMC and, if UPMC, in its reasonable discretion agrees with Evolent’s stated complaint(s), then UPMC shall address the performance or conduct of such person within no later than five (5) business days of such mutual agreement. If UPMC does not properly or timely address such performance or conduct as set forth immediately above in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Evolent, then at Evolent’s request, UPMC will remove such person from the applicable Evolent Client account within ten (10) business days, unless such removal would cause a material disruption to the UPMC Services, in which case the Parties shall agree on an orderly removal and replacement, and promptly provide another person with sufficient knowledge and expertise to perform the UPMC Services in accordance with this Agreement and applicable SOW. However, nothing in this Section shall in any way be deemed to create an

 

17


employee-employer relationship between Evolent and such UPMC personnel, such being the sole right and responsibility of UPMC; further the foregoing shall not grant Evolent the right or allow Evolent the ability to terminate the employment of any UPMC employee, nor assume any responsibility or liability for the same.

8.1.5 Reserved.

8.1.6 Operations Liaison and IT Liaison.

(a) Upon the initiation of UPMC Services as described in this Agreement to an Evolent Client by UPMC, UPMC shall designate and appoint two of its employees, one to serve as a liaison to Evolent on all IT Systems and technical matters as necessary to effectively discharge the UPMC Services (the “IT Liaison”) and the other to serve as a liaison to Evolent on all operations and administration matters as necessary to effectively discharge the UPMC Services (the “Operations Liaison”). Each such liaison shall be a senior level person primarily dedicated to the performance of UPMC’s obligations under this Agreement and each applicable SOW and have the authority to oversee and make decisions relating to UPMC’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement and each applicable SOW in their respective areas of expertise. Before assigning an individual as either the IT Liaison or the Operations Liaison, UPMC shall notify Evolent of the proposed personnel, introduce the individual(s) to appropriate Evolent representatives, and provide Evolent with a resume and other relevant information about the individual(s) as reasonably requested by Evolent. If Evolent in good faith objects to the proposed assignment, the Parties shall attempt to resolve Evolent’s concerns on a mutually agreeable basis.

(b) The IT Liaison and/or Operations Liaison shall be deemed Key Personnel under each SOW.

(c) If Evolent determines with reasonable cause that the performance of the IT or Operations Liaison is not adequate, Evolent, by written notice, may request that UPMC replace such person(s), and after good faith consideration and investigation UPMC shall not unreasonably refuse to comply with such request; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall prevent UPMC from performing its usual and customary rights and responsibilities in employing such personnel and in carrying out its management responsibilities and/or reviewing, reprimanding, and/or terminating any UPMC employee or agent of UPMC.

8.1.7 UPMC Leads.

(a) Upon the execution of this Agreement, UPMC shall assign personnel who shall act as “Leads” for applications and UPMC Services specified by Evolent. “Leads” shall mean those UPMC personnel who will act as the principal interface(s) with the Evolent staff, ensuring that all Evolent issues, problems and concerns are promptly and adequately addressed and communicated to the Evolent Relationship Manager.

(b) Any Lead under subsection (a) above and who devotes a substantial amount of his or her time providing the UPMC Services shall be deemed Key Personnel.

8.2 Key Personnel: Certain personnel of UPMC (whether identified by name or position) are important to the continuity of the delivery of the UPMC Services and may be expressly and specifically designated in an SOW as Key Personnel (along with the personnel described in Sections 8.1.6(b) and 8.1.7(b) above, the “Key Personnel”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without Evolent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, UPMC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid removing or suspending from the applicable Evolent Client account as specified in the applicable SOW, during the applicable committed period set forth in applicable SOW, any individual designated as a Key Personnel. If any one of the Key Personnel is reassigned (as permitted hereunder), becomes incapacitated, or ceases to be employed by UPMC, or otherwise becomes unable to perform the functions or responsibilities assigned to him or her, then UPMC shall promptly replace such person with another appropriately qualified person who is reasonably satisfactory to Evolent.

8.3 Limited Ongoing Support to Evolent: Except as may be expressly provided for in this Agreement or in an SOW issued hereunder, Evolent hereby acknowledges and agrees that UPMC has fulfilled all commitments and obligations to provide personnel and services on behalf of Evolent, including without limitation implementation, ongoing support, sales/marketing activities, training, back-office support and/or access to the UPMC Leadership team as referenced in the Original UPMC Reseller Agreement and the First Amended and Restated Reseller Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, UPMC hereby agrees that UPMC will continue to: (a) host up to 2 on-site sales visits per month (and related follow-up activities); and (b) provide a reasonable level of “testimonial” support (e.g., follow-up conversations between a prospective customer and key UPMC executives in each function and product area); provided however, that UPMC’s obligations under Sections 8.3(a) and 8.3(b) above shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which Evolent ceases to use UPMC as the exclusive provider of Exclusive TPA Services; and (ii) the expiration of the Term.

8.4 Access to Data and Information: Evolent hereby acknowledges and agrees that UPMC has fulfilled all commitments and obligations to provide any UPMC case studies, collateral, health system operating procedures, training manuals, certain data and other information as referenced in the Original UPMC Reseller Agreement and the First Amended and Restated Reseller Agreement, and that UPMC shall have no further obligation to provide any further data or information after the Effective Date of this Agreement. All requests for access to such Data and Information shall be on terms to be agreed upon between the Parties in separate SOW.

8.5 Access and Use of UPMC Data: During the Term for fees to be agreed upon between the Parties, UPMC may provide Evolent access to and use of the UPMC Data to create white papers, promotional, marketing and sales brochures and collateral and product validation reports.

8.6 UPMC Service Locations: UPMC will have the discretion to provide the Services from any UPMC Service Locations, unless otherwise expressly limited or designated in an SOW; provided, however, any Exclusive TPA Services shall be provided from within the United States during each applicable SOW Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the

 

19


Parties. If UPMC changes any UPMC Service Locations during an applicable SOW Term, in connection with any such change:

8.6.1 UPMC will provide Evolent with a written relocation proposal that sets forth a description of (i) such UPMC Services, as well as how it proposes to perform such migration and (ii) the proposed new location and other relevant information reasonably requested by Evolent; and

8.6.2 UPMC will not charge Evolent for any incremental costs beyond incremental costs of compliance with policy or this Agreement and the Management Fees for the applicable period related to or resulting from any UPMC-initiated relocation to a new or different UPMC Service location.

8.7 Subcontractors: In the delivery of UPMC Services under SOWs, UPMC shall have the absolute discretion and right to use any third party delivery partners or data and technology partners (“Subcontractors”), provided, however UPMC shall remain responsible and liable for the performance and compliance of Subcontractors with UPMC’s requirements and obligations under this Agreement.

8.8 Excused Performance:

8.8.1 UPMC’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and each SOW will be excused, and not included in any calculation of Service Level Breach, to the extent such breach is caused by any of the following :

(a) Any act or omission by Evolent or its agents or third parties (excluding UPMC) or other material breach of Evolent or Evolent’s employees, agents or third parties to perform its obligations under this Agreement or an applicable SOW;

(b) Any violation by Evolent or its agents or third parties (excluding UPMC) of any law, rule or regulation relating to the UPMC Services;

9.1.1 UPMC’s Responsibilities Regarding the IT Systems. During the Term, UPMC shall:

(a) develop, maintain and enhance its IT System in order to effectively and productively support UPMC’s performance under this Agreement and to enable UPMC to provide the UPMC Services substantially in accordance with the Service Levels and substantially

 

20


in accordance with any and all federal, state or other laws, rules, regulations or guidelines applicable to the UPMC Services; and

(b) undertake an ongoing review of its IT Systems as it relates to the present and future needs to support Evolent’s ability to effectively resell the UPMC Services, and to provide the UPMC Services to Evolent Clients, and identify and analyze solutions to such needs.

9.1.2 IT Systems Capabilities. The capabilities of UPMC’s IT Systems shall include without limitation the following: claims processing; adjudication and reporting (including on-line hospital and on-line physician claims systems); claims editing (including but not limited to identification of fraudulent and abusive claims); member services, including call center and portal applications applicable to providers, employers, brokers, members and regulatory agencies; administration of Provider reimbursement; coordination of benefits; Covered Member eligibility verification; Covered Member record maintenance; Covered Member billing and claims analysis; capabilities to support the compilation and analysis of data relating to utilization review, quality assurance, market identification and planning, product performance, sales evaluation and underwriting functions; preparation and production of reports required by federal, state and local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over Evolent, Evolent Clients, and their programs; and such other capabilities as are necessary to support the provision of the UPMC Services.

9.1.3 License. To the extent this Agreement permits or provides for Evolent to use any software or other intellectual property of UPMC or any third party through UPMC as provided under this Agreement, UPMC hereby grants to Evolent, a fully paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive license (or sublicense, as the case may be) to use, access and display the software or other intellectual property solely in connection with UPMC’s performance of UPMC Services, including without limitation any and all upgrades, updates, replacements, additions, modifications, and enhancements related thereto (unless such license is encompassed in the other licenses granted by UPMC pursuant to license agreements entered into contemporaneously with this Agreement).

9.1.4 Modifications to IT System Infrastructure. Throughout the Term, subject to the provisions governing Substantial Changes, UPMC agrees that it shall add the infrastructure to its own systems and operations, including but not limited to hardware acquisition, and/or improved operating systems, communications, application software, upgrades, releases, and enhancements, and other technologies reasonably necessary to provide the UPMC Services at the applicable Service Levels.

9.2 Costs and Expenditures: UPMC shall bear the costs associated with its IT Systems, including without limitation UPMC personnel; equipment and the maintenance of such equipment; and the development, implementation, enhancement, modification and support of, any software included within such IT Systems above. Any such costs shall be included in the calculation of UPMC’s overhead for purposes of determining the pricing for UPMC Services as set forth in each applicable SOW.

9.3 IT Security and Operations:

 

21


9.3.1 Data Safeguards. UPMC warrants and represents that it has implemented, and covenants that it shall implement and maintain technical, administrative, physical and organizational safeguards and security measures which are reasonably consistent with the highest standards and practices in the industry and that otherwise materially meet the requirements of applicable Law, to: (i) protect the data of Evolent Clients (including PHI and financial information of such Evolent Clients) ("Evolent Client Data") against unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, misuse or disclosure, and (ii) ensure the availability, integrity and confidentiality of Evolent Client Data in the possession of UPMC or its Affiliates, Subcontractors and personnel (or to which any of the foregoing has access) during the shipping, transporting, electronic transmission and storage thereof (the "Data Safeguards"). The Data Safeguards must materially comply with all data privacy and security Laws applicable to any Evolent Client Data (including any Laws applicable to use, storage, possession and/or handling of Evolent Client Data), and must be at least equal to the highest applicable industry standard. UPMC shall (a) adequately mark or otherwise identify and at minimum, virtually segregate, the Evolent Client Data as Evolent’s property, from other UPMC data, (b) store the Evolent Client Data separately from UPMC’s Confidential Information or the Confidential Information of other clients of UPMC, and (c) promptly return the Evolent Client Data at Evolent’s request. UPMC shall not modify, delete or destroy any Evolent Client Data or media on which such information resides without prior written authorization from Evolent. Failure to properly secure, protect, store or maintain Evolent Client Data that results in a corruption, alteration, loss or destruction of such data, or unauthorized access or disclosure of Evolent Client Data, shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. UPMC shall not be responsible or liable for any of Evolent’s acts or omission with respect to Evolent Client Data.

9.3.2 Data Availability and Disaster Recovery Plan. UPMC shall maintain disaster recovery plans consistent with the highest then-applicable industry standards (consistent with its most current SOC1 SSAE 16 Type II report) to ensure that all Evolent Client Data is preserved for as long as Evolent and/or any applicable Laws reasonably require such Evolent Client Data to be preserved, and reasonably available at all times to Evolent and the Evolent Client. UPMC has provided Evolent with its current disaster recovery plans and shall provide Evolent with any updates or additions to such plans from time to time as requested by Evolent; provided, that no such update or addition will lower or qualify UPMC’s then-existing standard of care.

9.3.3 Host Servers. UPMC agrees that its electronic transactions related to this Agreement shall at all times meet the applicable HIPAA standards for physical, administrative and technical protection of PHI, as such rule may exist or be revised from time to time. All servers of UPMC that contain Evolent’s PHI shall be under the control of UPMC, either directly or by use of a contracted hosting vendor, which has signed a HIPAA Agreement. All such servers shall be within the jurisdiction of the U.S. government.

9.3.4 Information Technology Practices. UPMC shall access Evolent’s and Evolent Clients’ information systems and use data obtained from Evolent’s and Evolent Clients’ information systems solely to perform its obligations and duties under this Agreement and each applicable SOW and for no other purpose. UPMC agrees that it and its Subcontractors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the posting of any files that contain viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software, programs or routines that may, in

 

22


any manner, damage the operation of Evolent’s information systems; or attempt to “crack,” “hack,” “bomb,” manipulate or otherwise gain unauthorized access to any Evolent information systems or any areas of Evolent information systems not intended for UPMC’s access (collectively, “Malicious Files”). Evolent, UPMC and UPMC’s Subcontractors shall maintain commercially reasonable anti-virus software and filters on their respective information systems. In the event UPMC or Evolent obtains knowledge of any unauthorized access to Evolent’s or Evolent Clients’ information systems or unauthorized use or disclosure of any information obtained from Evolent’s or Evolent Clients’ information systems by employees, agents or Subcontractors of UPMC, UPMC or Evolent (as the party that obtained such knowledge) shall promptly notify the other party of the same. If any Malicious Files gain unauthorized access to, or otherwise cause damage to, Evolent’s or Evolent Clients’ information systems through UPMC’s or its Subcontractors’ breach of their obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts under this Section to prevent such access or damage, then UPMC shall, at Evolent’s request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Malicious Files from Evolent’s or Evolent Clients’ information systems. For the avoidance of doubt, UPMC shall have no liability to Evolent for the presence of, or damage from, any Malicious Files on Evolent’s or Evolent Clients’ information systems if UPMC or its Subcontractors used their commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such presence or harm. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO CONTRARY SET FORTH HEREIN AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE APPLICATION OF SECTION 15.5 BELOW, IN NO EVENT SHALL UPMC BE LIABLE TO EVOLENT OR EVOLENT CLIENTS FOR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, SYSTEMS, NETWORK OR DATA, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PHI, COST OF RESTORING OR RECONSTITUTING SUCH EQUIPMENT, SYSTEMS, NETWORK OR DATA, INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE SERVICES HEREUNDER, LOST PROFITS, REVENUES OR SAVINGS, OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES RESULTING FROM MALICIOUS FILES IN ANY WAY UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 

10. TERM AND RENEWAL.

10.1 The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof shall continue until 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time on December 31, 2024 (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for another five-year term (the “Initial Renewal Term”) unless either of the Parties elects to not renew the Agreement.

10.2 After the expiration of the Initial Renewal Term, the Agreement may be renewed for successive periods of five (5) years upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties (which may be granted or withheld in their respective sole discretion) (each successive five-year term, a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term and the Initial Renewal Term the “Term.)”

 

11. COVENANTS.

11.1 Covenant Not to Solicit or Compete:

 

23


11.1.1 Non-Solicitation or Hiring. During the Term and for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, neither Party shall solicit or hire any of the other Party’s employees without such Party’s prior written consent.

11.1.2 Evolent Non-Competition Scope and Duration. Except as provided in Section 11.2, Evolent will not provide any products or services: (a) to any Restricted Companies during the Restriction Period; or (b) to any entity within the UPMC Territory during the Territorial Restriction Period, without UPMC’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Additionally, except as otherwise permitted hereunder, Evolent will not, directly or indirectly, (a) contract with or otherwise arrange with a third party, including without limitation any Evolent affiliate, to provide Exclusive TPA Services to Evolent customers; (b) provide, or offer, Exclusive TPA Services to Evolent customers; or (c) steer or otherwise encourage Evolent customers to obtain TPA Services through any party other than UPMC, including through Evolent or any Evolent affiliate. Upon a Change of Control of Evolent, Evolent’s covenants hereunder, and the associated obligations under Sections 4.2 and 11.1.1 above shall terminate immediately.

11.2 Exceptions: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following exceptions to the restrictions on Evolent shall apply:

11.2.1 Permitted Non-Exclusive Rights. Evolent is permitted, on a non-exclusive basis:

(a) to offer, promote, sell or provide products, solutions or services, including the UPMC Services, during the Restriction Period, to an entity in the Restricted Companies list with UPMC’s prior written consent, at UPMC’s sole discretion;

(b) to provide products, solutions or services, including the UPMC Services, if applicable, to enable the exchange of data and/or clinical information with health insurance companies and/or health plans (including Restricted Companies), outside the UPMC Territory during the Territorial Restriction Period, solely when such exchange is necessitated by, and incidental to, a “downloaded risk” use case (as that term is commonly used in the health care services industry) where Evolent’s primary relationship is with an Evolent Client who is an Approved Entity, which Evolent Client also has a payor/provider relationship with the health insurance company or health plan in question. For the avoidance of doubt, this limited exception is not intended to negate the other restrictions placed on Evolent’s interactions with Restricted Companies under this Agreement; and

(c) to offer, promote and sublicense to national vendors, and sublicense to such national vendors, Evolent’s rights to resell products, solutions and services as set forth in this Agreement, so long as such vendors are not on the Restricted Companies list during the Restriction Period, and such use or resale is not within the UPMC Territory during the Territorial Restriction Period. Evolent’s rights hereunder may include rights to sublicense to such national vendors Evolent’s rights to resell the UPMC Services subject to prior notice and UPMC’s consent, which consent shall be in UPMC’s sole discretion.

 

24


11.2.2 Acquisition of Entity in UPMC Territory. In the event that Evolent acquires an entity by merger or acquires substantially all of the assets of such entity that was conducting a business substantially similar to UPMC’s business or a business that is reasonably determined by the Parties to be competitive with UPMC’s business, in the UPMC Territory prior to such acquisition (the “Preexisting Business”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such acquired entity would be permitted to continue to operate Preexisting Business in the UPMC Territory, including by providing the products and services that it had been providing prior to the acquisition and to otherwise meet its obligations to its then-existing customers, provided that such acquired entity cannot continue to solicit new customers or expand its business in the UPMC Territory, or sublicense, provide access to, or use the Licensed IP or Evolent Improvements (as those terms are defined in the HP License) to provide services to its customers within the UPMC Territory.

11.3 Evolent Clients and Evolent Top Prospects.

11.3.1 Evolent Clients. Evolent shall be responsible for maintaining and updating an accurate list of all then-current Evolent Clients (the “Evolent Clients List”) including without limitation the obligation to (a) promptly add new Evolent Clients; (b) promptly remove entities who are no longer Evolent Clients; and (c) ensure that UPMC has been provided with the most-current version of the Evolent Client List.

11.3.2 Evolent Top Prospects. Evolent shall be responsible for maintaining and updating an accurate list of up to twenty (20) then-current Evolent Top Prospects (the “Evolent Top Prospects List”) including without limitation (a) promptly notifying UPMC of any new Evolent Top Prospects that Evolent wishes to claim; (b) promptly removing entities who are no longer Evolent Top Prospects; and (c) ensuring that UPMC has been provided with the most-current version of the Evolent Top Prospects List. Evolent may update the Evolent Top Prospects List no more often than once each calendar quarter and such Evolent Top Prospects List may list no more than twenty (20) Evolent Top Prospects. Upon receipt of the list of Evolent Top Prospects and/or quarterly updates, UPMC and ABCO will each have the opportunity to notify Evolent whether any of the entities proposed for inclusion on the Evolent Top Prospects list are in an Active Sales Process (or otherwise do not qualify for inclusion as an Evolent Top Prospect) and therefore will be removed from the list of Evolent Top Prospects. Evolent will be entitled to the protections set forth in Section 11.3.3 below for an Evolent Top Prospect for no more than 12 months starting on the date such entity was first included as an Evolent Top Prospect; provided, however that Evolent may claim Evolent Top Prospect rights under Section 11.3.3 below with respect to an entity that had executed an agreement for Blueprint Services before being added to the list of Evolent Top Prospects or within twelve (12) months of being added to the list of Evolent Top Prospects for up to twenty-four (24) months. For the sake of clarity, regardless of whether Evolent has actually removed an entity from the Evolent Top Prospect List as described above, the entity will be deemed to have been removed upon the expiration the twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) month period set forth above (as applicable) without any further action by either party if the conditions as set forth above have been met and UPMC’s obligations with respect to such entity shall automatically cease as of the expiration of such twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) month period, as applicable.

 

25


11.3.3 UPMC Restrictive Covenant. UPMC agrees that it shall not sell Restricted Products and Services as defined in this Agreement to Evolent Clients and Evolent Top Prospects designated as such on the Evolent Clients List and Evolent Top Prospects List, respectively; provided, however (a) UPMC’s restrictions hereunder shall apply only to Evolent Clients and Evolent Top Prospects expressly identified as such on the then-most current written versions of each respective list provided by Evolent to UPMC and subject to the removal criteria as set forth in Section 11.3.2 above; and (b) UPMC’s restrictions hereunder shall not apply to entities with which UPMC is engaged in an Active Sales Process at the time Evolent proposes to add the entity in question to the Evolent Client List or the Evolent Top Prospects List, as applicable.

11.3.4 Expiration of UPMC Restrictions. UPMC’s restrictions as set forth in Section 11.3.3 above shall expire on the earlier to occur of (a) a Change of Control of Evolent; (b) the date upon which UPMC is no longer a shareholder in Evolent; and (c) the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

12. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PHI.

12.1 Confidential Information: UPMC acknowledges that, in connection with providing the UPMC Services under this Agreement, it may gain access to the Confidential Information of Evolent and its customers and Affiliates. Evolent acknowledges that, in connection with receiving the UPMC Services under this Agreement, it may gain access to the Confidential Information of UPMC and its customers and Affiliates.

12.2 Non-Disclosure: The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information strictly on a need-to-know basis to only those personnel, including employees of the Receiving Party’s contractors, who require access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in order to perform or derive benefit from the UPMC Services or otherwise meet its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party agrees: (a) to hold the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, using the same degree (but no less than a reasonable degree) of care and protection that it exercises with its own Confidential Information of a similar nature; (b) not to directly or indirectly disclose or otherwise make available any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to a third party; and (c) not to copy or use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as necessary to fulfill Receiving Party’s obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. Each Receiving Party is responsible for ensuring that its employees, agents and contractors strictly abide by the requirements of confidentiality and restrictions on use as provided in this Section 12.2 and shall be liable to the Disclosing Party for any acts or omissions of its employees, agents and independent contractors relating to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party is allowed to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required by law or by the order or a court of similar judicial or administrative body with jurisdiction, provided that the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure promptly and in writing and cooperates with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such

 

26


required disclosure. The provisions of this Article 12 shall survive beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

12.3 Unauthorized Acts: In addition to its obligations under this Agreement and the HIPAA Agreement(s) between Evolent and UPMC, each Party shall do the following:

12.3.1 Notify the other Party promptly of any material unauthorized possession, use or communication of any PHI, data or Confidential Information of the other Party or of an Evolent Client that becomes known to them;

12.3.2 Promptly furnish to the other Party any information in its possession related to the unauthorized possession, use or communication of any PHI, data or Confidential Information of the other Party and reasonably assist the other Party in investigating the unauthorized conduct, and preventing the recurrence of any unauthorized conduct;

12.3.3 Cooperate with the other Party in responding to any third parties entitled to a report of the unauthorized conduct and in determining the nature and content of any required reporting; and;

12.3.4 Take such remedial steps as might be appropriate to avoid any recurrence of any unauthorized conduct in the future.

12.4 HIPAA Agreements: For each Evolent Client, or SOW (as appropriate and necessary), the Parties shall agree to the provisions of a HIPAA Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which appropriately reflects Evolent’s obligations and requirements as set forth in Evolent’s BAA with a Evolent Client. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the terms of the HIPAA Agreement conflict with the terms of this Agreement or an SOW, the terms of the HIPAA Agreement shall control.

12.5 Residuals: Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12 to the contrary, subject to any applicable statutory intellectual property rights applicable to patents, trademarks or copyrights, either Party may use “Residuals” for any purpose, including without limitation, for use in development, manufacture, promotion, sale and maintenance of its products and services; provided, however, that this right to Residuals does not represent a license under any patents, copyrights or trademarks of the Disclosing Party. The term “Residuals” means any information that is retained in the unaided memories of the Receiving Party’s employees who have had access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12.6 Injunctive Relief: The Parties acknowledge and agree that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate for a breach of the provisions contained in this Article 12 or other confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. In the event of such breach, the injured Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief (without the need to post bond) and any and all other remedies available at law or in equity. This Section 12.6 in no way limits the liability or damages that may be assessed against a Party in the event of a breach by the other Party of any of the provisions of this Article 12.

 

13. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

 

27

13.2 Evolent Client Materials: Each Evolent Client will be the sole and exclusive owner, including all worldwide copyrights, patent rights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights, of the (i) materials it lawfully owned prior to the applicable SOW Effective Date, and any modifications and enhancements to such materials, (ii) third party materials acquired by each Evolent Client on or after the SOW Effective Date, (iii) derivative works of Evolent Client-owned materials, and (iv) any new materials created by each Evolent Client during the SOW Term (collectively, “Evolent Client Owned Materials”). To the extent permissible by each Evolent Client, Evolent grants to UPMC a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, limited right and sublicense to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, modify and distribute the Evolent Client Owned Materials for the sole purpose of providing the UPMC Services to each such Evolent Client during the SOW Term; provided, however, this right and license does not give UPMC the right, and UPMC is not authorized, to sublicense such Evolent Client Owned Materials or use them for the benefit of any third parties or for any other purpose without the Evolent Clients’ prior consent which may be granted or withheld in each Evolent Clients’ sole discretion.

 

14. AUDITS AND RECORD RETENTION.

14.1 Operational and Compliance Audits:

14.1.1 For each active SOW, no more often than once every twelve (12) months during each applicable SOW Term, UPMC will provide to auditors acting on behalf of Evolent, any Evolent Client with an active SOW for UPMC Services, or any governmental or mutually agreed upon accrediting agency (including third-party auditors and Evolent’s and Evolent Clients’ internal audit staff), reasonable and necessary access to any facility at which the UPMC Services are being performed, to appropriate UPMC management personnel and Subcontractors, and to the data and records maintained by UPMC with respect to the UPMC Services for the purpose of: (i) performing audits and inspections of an Evolent Client, Evolent, UPMC, and their respective businesses (including any audits necessary to enable Evolent or an Evolent Client to meet their applicable regulatory or legal requirements); (ii) to confirm that the UPMC Services are being provided in accordance with this Agreement and applicable SOW; and (iii) for the purpose of performing audits that may be considered necessary by Evolent or an Evolent Client to determine the accuracy and correctness of the accounting and internal controls performed and maintained by UPMC that are directly related to the UPMC Services. In the event an audit establishes that UPMC is not compliant with applicable laws, rules, regulations, directives or guidelines or otherwise not compliant with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable SOW, Evolent, the applicable Evolent Client (at such Evolent Client’s option), and UPMC will discuss such audit finding and UPMC shall take actions necessary to remedy such noncompliance and to become compliant within a commercially reasonable period of time after the Parties meet to discuss such audit finding; provided, however, the Parties may mutually agree to shorten or lengthen such remedial action period as the circumstances require.

 

28


14.1.2 Medicare Access Clause: To the extent applicable, UPMC agrees to make available to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or to the U.S. Comptroller General, or to any of their duly authorized representatives, until the expiration of four (4) years after the furnishing of UPMC Services pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement and the books, documents and records of UPMC that are required to be made available by Section 952 of P.L. 96-499 to certify the nature and extent of the costs deemed to be incurred under this Agreement. Further, if UPMC carries out any of the duties contemplated herein to be carried out by UPMC through a subcontract with a related organization and the value or cost of such subcontract is Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) or more over a twelve (12) month period, UPMC shall cause such subcontract to contain a clause similar to this Section. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to constitute a waiver of the right of privacy or confidentiality otherwise legally available to such person. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed as an agreement by any person that information required to be made available by Section 952 of P.L. 96-499 shall be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act unless otherwise expressly required by law. This Section shall survive the termination or expiration of each applicable SOW and this Agreement.

14.1.3 UPMC shall provide Evolent and any requesting Evolent Client with: (i) copies of applicable data center and other audit reports prepared by UPMC or its outside auditors, including but not limited to a service auditor report “SOC 1 SSAE 16” or “SOC 2 AT101”), attesting to the efficacy of UPMC’s procedures and controls for the systems (data center operations, change control, and the like) used in performing the UPMC Services; and (ii) access to UPMC’s personnel who have knowledge of the materials to be reviewed or audited and who shall reasonably assist Evolent in accessing such materials. The foregoing audit reports shall include, as of any time, reports, with respect with a date of issuance no longer than twelve (12) months prior to the date of Evolent’s request therefor. All of UPMC’s information associated with such access shall be treated as Confidential Information.

14.2 Financial Audits:

14.2.1 In order to document the UPMC Services and the fees paid or payable by Evolent under this Agreement, UPMC will retain its standard records and supporting documentation for at least two (2) years following the termination or expiration of each SOW, or as otherwise required by applicable laws and regulatory requirements (including without limitation Medicare and Medicaid).

14.2.2 UPMC will provide to such auditors as Evolent may designate in writing, access to such records and supporting documentation reasonably requested by Evolent. Evolent may audit the fees invoiced to Evolent to determine that such fees are accurate and were calculated in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that any such audit shall be initiated within twelve (12) months following the end of Evolent’s fiscal year during which payment of the applicable fees and payment of any expenses for the corollary period.

14.2.3 Any such audits will be conducted at Evolent’s expense. If, as a result of such audit, Evolent determines that UPMC has overcharged Evolent, Evolent will notify UPMC of the

 

29


amount of such overcharge and UPMC will promptly pay or credit to Evolent the amount of the overcharge. If the audit reveals an undercharge, Evolent will promptly pay to UPMC the amount of the undercharge.

14.3 Audit Support: UPMC shall provide reasonable support to Evolent and the applicable Evolent Client at no additional cost for up to two (2) audits per calendar year for each applicable SOW.

With respect to claims processed by UPMC on or after the Effective Date in a manner that does not materially comply with the then-applicable claims quality control procedures and occurred as a result of UPMC’s intentional misconduct or negligent acts or omissions, UPMC shall pay the cost of inaccurate payments to nonparticipating Providers (or participating Providers where the right of offset will not provide Evolent a recovery within a six (6) month time period; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section, Evolent shall be presumed to have a right of offset against any participating Provider, regardless of whether the contract between Evolent and the Provider grants Evolent any such right), if (i) the payment was made in error, (ii) the erroneous payment was not the result of an error of party other than UPMC, (iii) the payment resulted in more than (a) $10,000 in excess payments to a Provider for a single course of treatment, or (b) $25,000 in total excess payments resulting from a pattern, practice or methodology producing multiple erroneous payment. In consideration of such payments by UPMC, Evolent shall assign to UPMC any claim it may have against the Provider to recover any such erroneous payment. With respect to claims processed by UPMC in a manner that complies with the then-applicable claims quality control procedures, UPMC shall have no repayment obligation under this Section.

Upon the expiration of the Retention Period UPMC and Evolent may destroy or otherwise dispose of any records or copies of records in its possession or custody, except as required to be retained for regulatory or audit requirements or for purposes of complying with the terms of this Agreement.

THIS SECTION 16.1 SETS FORTH UPMC’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY, AND EVOLENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ALLEGATIONS OR CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OF ANY KIND ASSERTED AGAINST EVOLENT, ITS AFFILIATES (OTHER THAN UPMC), EVOLENT CLIENTS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES. UPMC shall not be obligated to indemnify Evolent, its Affiliates, customers, and their respective officers, directors and employees for infringement or misappropriation claims to the extent such claims arise out of use by Evolent or its customers of any of the UPMC Services in a manner other than as contemplated by the Parties under this Agreement.

16.2 General Indemnification:

16.2.1 UPMC’s Indemnification. UPMC hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Evolent and its Affiliates (other than UPMC), and Evolent Clients, and all of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns, harmless from and against any Losses arising from or related to: (a) the material breach of this Agreement, including any or all SOWs, by UPMC or its personnel (including contractors); (b) breach of any of UPMC’s representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement; (c) negligence or willful misconduct by UPMC or its personnel (including contractors); (d) any violation of any statute, rule, regulation, or ordinance (including without limitation, HIPAA) by UPMC, its Affiliates and Subcontractors; (e) the death of or bodily injury to any person to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of UPMC; or (f) the loss of or damage to the real or tangible personal property (whether owned or leased) to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of UPMC.

32


Agreement; or (c) gross negligence or willful misconduct by Evolent or its personnel (including contractors).

16.3 Indemnification Procedure:

16.3.1 Notice of Claim. Any Party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the other Party liable for such indemnification (each an “Indemnitor”) in writing of any event, omission or occurrence that the Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder (such written notice being hereinafter referred to as a “Notice of Claims”). Such Notice of Claims shall be given promptly after the Indemnitee becomes aware of its own claim or that of a third party; provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 16.3.1 shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article 16. A Notice of Claims shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and any particulars of the event, omission or occurrence giving rise to a right of indemnification. The Indemnitor shall satisfy its obligations hereunder, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a Notice of Claims; provided, however, that so long as the Indemnitor is in good faith defending a claim pursuant to Section 16.3.2 below, its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect thereto shall be suspended.

16.3.2 Process. With respect to any third party claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding that is the subject of a Notice of Claim, the Indemnitor shall, in good faith and at its own expense, defend, contest, or otherwise protect against any such claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding with legal counsel of its own selection (and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee). The Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof through counsel of its own choice and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assert any and all cross claims or counterclaims it may have. So long as the Indemnitor is defending in good faith any such third party claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding, the Indemnitee shall at all times cooperate, at its own expense, in all reasonable ways with, make its relevant files and records available for inspection and copying by, and make its employees available or otherwise render reasonable assistance to, the Indemnitor. In the event that the Indemnitor fails to timely defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such third party claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest, assert cross claims or counterclaims, or otherwise protect against, the same and may make any compromise or settlement thereof and be entitled to all amounts paid as a result of such third party claim, demand, suit or action or any compromise or settlement thereof. The Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any such third party claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which will not be unreasonably withheld, and provided that no settlement shall require the Indemnitee to admit liability, or perform or become subject to additional obligations thereunder.

The appellate arbitrator will set the dates for submission of the briefs. Oral argument may be heard at the discretion of the appellate arbitrator;

(d) the appellate arbitrator shall render a written decision within 60 days of the final submission;

(e) during the pendency of the arbitration appeal, the Parties agree tosuspend any running of the time to seek enforcement of the original award.

(f) the appellate arbitrator must award costs and attorneys fees to the prevailing Party; and

(g) the decision of the appellate arbitrator shall be final.

39


the other Party written notice thereof promptly and, in any event, within fifteen (15) days of discovery thereof and uses its commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such breach.

UPMC shall use its best efforts to ensure that all IT Components used by UPMC in providing services under the Agreement and each SOW but which are not owned by UPMC will be available to Evolent and Evolent Clients upon any termination of the Agreement or applicable SOW, including using its commercially reasonable efforts upon termination of the Agreement or any SOW to obtain for Evolent and the applicable Evolent Clients licenses for IT Components not owned by UPMC but used by UPMC prior to the termination of the Agreement or applicable SOW in providing its Services to Evolent and the applicable Evolent Clients. In such event, Evolent shall pay the costs associated with obtaining and utilizing such licenses.

  (c) Evolent and UPMC may enter into an information systems services contract, the terms of which, including fees, will be negotiated in good faith by the Parties and shall be consistent with industry practice.

The fee for such use shall be negotiated in good faith by the Parties on or before the effective date of termination and shall equal an amount which is mutually agreeable to the Parties and which is consistent with then-prevailing industry standards. In addition, Evolent may purchase from UPMC items of computer hardware used solely for Evolent’s business at an amount mutually agreed to by the Parties and consistent with industry standards, or may assume the leases on such equipment if it is leased and the lessor agrees to assignment of the lease to Evolent.
