A Receiving Party agrees to hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence, to use such information solely in the course of performing its obligations under this Agreement, and to make no disclosure of such information except 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 Vendor 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 Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information hereunder. A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information only to its (i) personnel (including employees, consultants and subcontractors); and (ii) its attorneys, accountants, auditors, and investment bankers, who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order to fulfill Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder and who are under obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than those applicable herein. Each party shall be primarily responsible and liable for any confidentiality breaches by its personnel and the personnel of its consultants and subcontractors.

8.6.

16


If any such insurance policy is written on a claims-made basis, in order to cover acts, errors or omissions occurring during the term of this Agreement, when said policy terminates and is not replaced with a policy containing a prior acts endorsement, Vendor agrees to furnish and maintain an extended period reporting endorsement (“tail policy”) for the term of three (3) years. All Vendor insurance coverage shall be primary.

 

10.2.

Anthem Insurance. Anthem shall self-insure or maintain insurance as shall be necessary to insure Anthem and its employees, acting within the scope of their duties.

 

10.3.

Proof of Insurance; Notice of Cancellation. Vendor shall (i) provide to Anthem certificates of insurance indicating the coverage required, (ii) shall name Anthem as an additional insured under commercial general liability and (iii) shall make reasonable efforts to provide a waiver of subrogation with respect to Anthem for commercial general liability and workers’ compensation. Promptly upon Vendor’s written request for same, Anthem shall cause its insurers or insurance brokers to issue certificates of insurance or evidence of self insurance evidencing that the coverages required under this Agreement are maintained and in force. In addition, Vendor will use reasonable efforts to give thirty (30) days prior written notice to Anthem prior to cancellation or non-renewal of any of the policies providing such coverage; provided, however that Vendor shall not be obligated to provide such notice if, concurrently with such cancellation or nonrenewal, Vendor provides self-insurance coverage as described below or obtains coverage from another insurer meeting the requirements described above.

 

10.4.

Vendor Right to Self-insure Coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vendor reserves the right to self-insure coverage, in whole or in part, in the amounts and categories designated above, in lieu of Vendor’s obligations to maintain insurance as set forth above, at any time.

10.5.

Indemnification. Anthem and Vendor shall each indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, and its directors, officers, employees, agents, permitted subcontractors and assignees, subsidiaries, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from third party claims resulting from (i) the indemnifying party’s failure to perform or negligent performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and/or (ii) the indemnifying party’s violation of any law, statute, ordinance, order, standard of care, rule or regulation and/or (iii) the indemnifying party’s breach of any promise, agreement or representation made in this Agreement, and/or (iv) any claim that any portion of the Products and/or Services, as applicable, provided by Supplier to

 

17


Company pursuant to this Agreement, infringes, misappropriates or violates any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, privacy, publicity or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any person. The obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement shall be contingent upon the party seeking indemnification (i) providing the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim for which indemnification is sought, (ii) allowing the indemnifying party to control the defense and settlement of such claim, provided however that the indemnifying party agrees not to enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim or action in a manner that admits fault or imposes any restrictions or obligations on an indemnified party without that indemnified party’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) cooperating fully with the indemnifying party in connection with such defense and settlement.

11.1.

Dispute Resolution. All disputes between Anthem and Vendor arising out of or related in any manner to this Agreement shall be resolved using the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures set forth below. Vendor shall exhaust all applicable Anthem internal appeal / dispute resolution procedures prior to invoking the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures herein. The exhaustion of any such internal appeal/dispute procedures shall be a condition precedent to Vendor’s right to pursue the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures.

 

18


  (a)

In order to invoke the dispute resolution procedures in this Section 11, a party first shall send to the other party a written demand letter that contains (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. If the total amount in dispute as set forth in the demand letter is less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees within twenty (20) calendar days following the date on which the receiving party receives the demand letter, representatives of each parties’ choosing shall meet to discuss the dispute in person or telephonically in an effort to resolve the dispute. If the total amount in dispute as set forth in the demand letter is Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or more, exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees, within ninety (90) calendar dates following the date of the demand letter, the parties shall engage in non-binding mediation in an effort to resolve the dispute unless both parties agree in writing to waive the mediation requirement. The parties shall mutually agree upon a mediator, and failing to do so, Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) shall be authorized to appoint a mediator.

 

11.2.

Arbitration. Any dispute within the scope of 11.1.1 that remains unresolved at the conclusion of the applicable process outlined in 11.1.1 shall be resolved by binding arbitration in the manner set forth below. Except to the extent set forth below, the arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, provided, however, that the parties may agree in writing to further modify the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The parties agree to be bound by the findings of the arbitrator(s) with respect to such dispute, subject to the right of the parties to appeal such findings as set forth in Section 11.4 hereof. No arbitration demand shall be filed until after the parties have completed the dispute resolution efforts described in Section 11.1 – Dispute Resolution – above.

 

11.3.

Selection and Replacement of Arbitrator(s). If the total amount in dispute as set forth in the demand letter is less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees, the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator selected, and replaced when required, in the manner described in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. If the total amount in dispute as set forth in the demand letter is Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or more, exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees, the dispute shall be decided by an arbitration panel consisting of three (3) arbitrators, unless the parties agree in writing that the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator.

 

11.4.

Appeal. If the total amount of the arbitration award is Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more, inclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys’ 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.

 

19


11.5.

Waiver of Certain Claims. The parties, on behalf of themselves and those that they may now or hereafter represent, each agree to and do hereby waive any right to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities to pursue, on a class basis, any dispute; provided however, that if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines that such waiver is unenforceable for any reason with respect to a particular dispute, then the parties agree that Section 11.3 – Selection and Replacement of Arbitrators – shall not apply to such dispute and that such dispute shall be decided instead in a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 12 – MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.1.

Trademarks and Branding. Except as may be set forth in Section 9, above, nothing herein shall be construed as an implied license by Anthem to use Anthem’s trademarks, symbols, service marks, name, logos, or the like.

The DRA and state laws also require certain entities to make their Vendors 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 (3) times the damages or loss to the government plus substantial civil penalties (currently Five Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($5,500) to Eleven Thousand Dollars ($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.

12.17.

 Covenant Not to Trade on Insider Knowledge. Vendor acknowledges that Anthem, Inc. is a publicly traded corporation. Vendor agrees that it will not purchase or sell any stock of Anthem, Inc., or its Affiliates based on Confidential Information.

Vendor shall provide reasonable advance written notice to Anthem of any such removal on the condition that Vendor receives reasonable advance notice from the provider of such Third Party Components in the event that removal is due to the Third Party Components becoming unavailable from such provider. Vendor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a replacement for any such Third Party Components prior to the date such Third Party Components become unavailable to Vendor.

4.1.3. Remedy. So long as Anthem notifies Vendor in writing of a breach of the foregoing warranties in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, Vendor will use commercially reasonable efforts to repair the American Well System or Vendor Service or replace or re-perform the same.

All medical diagnostic and treatment decisions are the responsibility of providers.

4.1.5. Exclusions. The warranty in Section 4.1.2 shall not apply to the American Well System to the extent that it has been modified by any party other than Vendor, unless such modification was at the direction of Vendor.

4.1.6. Application Hosting. Vendor shall provide the Hosting Services described in Schedule I to this Exhibit C and otherwise subject to the provisions of the Agreement. The parties may mutually agree to transfer the Hosting Services to Anthem or to engage a third party to host the Single Instance of the American Well System.

In any event, the hosting of the American Well System by a Third Party Contractor shall always occur within the United States of America.

The Vendor logo (and/or such other Vendor designation as agreed by the parties), in at least 10 point font if it is text, or in at least 176x32 pixels if it is a picture, shall appear on every page of the American Well System.

4.3. Duties in the Event of a Claim, Suit or Medical Incident.

(a) If Anthem becomes aware of any medical incident involving a service provided through the American Well System which may reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim being made against any Provider, Anthem shall notify Vendor in writing as soon as possible (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days, as defined in the Agreement). To the extent possible, notice should include: (i) how, when and where the medical incident took place; and (ii) the nature and location of any injury or damage arising out of the medical incident.

(b) If Anthem becomes aware of a claim or suit brought against a Provider arising out of a medical incident involving a service provided through the American Well System, Anthem shall (i) immediately record the specifics of the claim or suit and the date received; (ii) provide Vendor with written notice of the claim or suit as soon as possible (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days); and (iii) immediately send Vendor copies of any demands, notices, summonses or legal papers received in connection with the claim or suit.

(c) Required Investigation. Upon receipt of notice from Vendor or other party of any complaint about a Provider or Anthem, Anthem shall promptly initiate an investigation of the complaint in accordance with Anthem’s standard risk management processes and take such actions as are deemed necessary to prevent the occurrence of medical incidents involving a Provider or Anthem that may give rise to injury or liability.

4.4. Clearance for Certain Anthem Provided Software. If Anthem will provide any software or access to software to Vendor, then before commencement of Vendor’s services or before such software is accessed or used by Vendor, Anthem shall have the opportunity to ascertain whether it has the license rights to permit Vendor to access and use the third-party software needed for such purpose. Anthem may cancel or postpone any specific work with Vendor (without any financial penalty and without such cancellation constituting a breach of contract by Anthem) if Anthem determines that it does not possess the needed license for Vendor’s provision of the American Well System for which such third-party software is needed

4.5. Cooperation with and Access by Third Parties. Anthem may from time to time hire Third Party Contractors to perform services or provide products relating to Anthem’s business, which may be integrated with the American Well System (an “Integrated Project”). Vendor shall cooperate with and work in good faith with any Anthem Third-Party Contractor(s) as reasonably requested by Anthem in connection with the use of the American Well System. Subject to the restrictions on confidentiality and use contained in this Agreement and other appropriate protections as may be necessary in Vendor’s reasonable discretion, such cooperation may include knowledge sharing of standards, policies, quality assurance and testing processes, as applicable, to ensure smooth deployment of Integrated Projects and/or the smooth and efficient


transition of the American Well System to or from, Vendor and any Anthem Third Party Contractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anthem may not provide any Third Party Contractor access to the American Well Documentation, any system design or system configuration documentation relating to the American Well System or to the installation of Vendor’s software or related technology without the express prior written consent of Vendor. Subject to the foregoing, nothing in the Agreement shall restrict access by a Third Party Contractor to the American Well System and/or Works, as applicable, as an Administrative User (but not as an Administrative User with system configuration privileges) as reasonably required for such Anthem Third Party Contractors to perform functions for and on behalf of Anthem; and provided that such Anthem Third Party Contractors shall use or access the American Well System solely for Anthem’s benefit and shall have agreed to confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those contained in this Agreement. Anthem shall remain responsible for such Anthem Third Party Contractor’s use or access to the American Well System in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anthem may not provide access to the American Well System, nor shall Vendor be required to cooperate with, any Anthem Third Party Contractor that is a Vendor Competitor. For purposes hereof, “Vendor Competitor” shall mean an entity engaged or, to Anthem’s knowledge, intending or planning to engage, in the development, distribution, and/or sale of a technology platform (or technology or services related thereto) that brokers the real-time availability of professional services in a market place between consumers and the providers of such professional services or facilitates communication among various involved parties, including, but without limitation, among providers of professional services

4.6. General Obligations.

4.6.1. Obligations of Anthem Relating to Professional Services. Vendor shall have no liability to Anthem for Anthem’s damages, expenses or costs from delays or failures in Vendor’s performance of the Services under the applicable Statement of Work resulting from: (i) failure of Anthem to perform its responsibilities set forth in this Section 4.6; or (ii) failure of Anthem to provide accurate and complete data and instructions, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. Any delays in performance by Anthem shall result in a corresponding extension in the time periods for performance by Vendor of any of its obligations that rely on the performance of Anthem that was delayed. Such delays may result in an adjustment to the fees described in the applicable Statement of Work.

ATTACHMENT B to SCHEDULE I to EXHIBIT C

Hosting Security Requirements

 

1.

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Physical access to Vendor’s Internet Data Center (“IDC”) will be restricted to authorized personnel only. Access to the Area where Anthem Information is processed will be restricted to those personnel specifically authorized by Vendor or Anthem. Access to the IDC buildings is limited and non-employees are escorted by Vendor approved personnel. Access to these areas is to be controlled by key or physical token. All access to these areas is to be logged for audit purposes. Equipment which contains Anthem Information will be physically secured within the computer room.

 

2.

SYSTEM SECURITY

All remote access capabilities (to the systems or areas behind the firewall) require authentication procedures. Authentication will be implemented using a minimum of username and encrypted password verification. Vendor will implement a policy that passwords will be selected such that system passwords are complex enough in length to reduce “dictionary attacks” to crack these passwords. All system access except that absolutely necessary to utilize and administer the American Well System will be configured by Vendor to prevent an intruder from gaining access to the system. All requests denied access will not receive any information about the Vendor hosting configuration. Vendor shall track and implement applicable security patches and updates to all software products used in the American Well System including but not limited to operating systems, database management systems, third party products, firewalls, anti-virus software, anti-virus signature/definition files, intrusion prevention and detection software or firmware used in networking equipment. Unless otherwise required, these changes will be applied during Scheduled Maintenance.

 

3.

OFFERING SECURITY

No third party shall have access to Anthem Information or web server access log files containing URLs used exclusively by Anthem. All user input and data, including URL name-value arguments, will be checked for its appropriateness based on its format, size and validity. All outside data requests (i.e., http/https requests) are allowed in a specified, controlled format which is processed by Vendor according to prescribed procedures and the request results are then sent back to the outside party. The main Vendor servers do not have the ability to remotely execute arbitrary outside requests, except for requests included in the product offering and remote management performed over a secure connection, according to Section 2 above. All traffic traversing any unsecured network, used to remotely manage the Vendor servers, will be performed over a secured, encrypted VPN tunnel.


4.

NETWORK SECURITY

The Vendor network contains packet filter(s) which have been configured to allow access only to the protocols necessary to allow the American Well System to function. All other network access to Vendor by third parties is segmented to provide Vendor’s network traffic in isolation of other network traffic. All other protocols are explicitly denied. Monitoring procedures of the firewall will immediately inform Vendor of any unauthorized access or otherwise suspicious attempts to access secured portions of the system across the network.

 

5.

GENERAL

Vendor shall report any security breaches or compromises to Anthem within one (1) Business Day (as defined in the Agreement) following the day on which Vendor qualifies the occurrence, not to exceed five (5) Business Days following the event, or earlier if required by applicable law. Any security breaches or compromises shall be terminated immediately through the best efforts of Vendor. At no time shall Vendor allow any security breach or compromise to persist for any amount of time in order to determine the identity of the perpetrator or for any other reason, except as required by law or Anthem or as deemed necessary by Vendor to stop the compromise. Vendor shall present Anthem with documentation of the cause, remedial steps and future plans to prevent a recurrence within five (5) Business Days following the day on which Vendor qualifies the occurrence of the security breach or compromise. If these measures are not deemed acceptable, based on Anthem’s reasonable judgment, Vendor shall, upon receipt of written request from Anthem, enter into good faith negotiations to address the differences within five (5) Business Days.

In the event that the parties cannot agree to the license fees for 2016 and 2017 prior to October 1, 2015, then either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon providing written notice to the other.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in a Statement of Work, all payments are due to Vendor within [***] ([***]) days of invoice date; provided however, that in the event the amount of any payment by Anthem exceeds [***] ([***]), Anthem payments shall be due to Vendor within [***] ([***]) days of invoice date. All fees and charges are stated


in United States Dollars. Any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement are to be net to Vendor and shall not include taxes or other governmental charges or surcharges, if any. If any excise, use, property or other taxes, or any other governmental charges or surcharges (including, without limitation, interest, penalties and fines) are due or are assessed on or with respect to any amounts payable by Anthem pursuant to this Agreement (other than Vendor’s income taxes), they will be the sole responsibility of and payable by Anthem.

8. Invoice Disputes.

The parties shall negotiate expeditiously and in good faith to resolve any such dispute, and Anthem will pay all outstanding amounts as may be agreed by the parties in writing within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of such dispute resolution process, or within such ninety (90) day period, whichever concludes sooner, and no interest shall accrue on amounts withheld pursuant to this Section during the foregoing time period.

Throughout the Term, in consideration of the license to use a Practice Site in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including Exhibit C hereto, Anthem shall pay Vendor a license fee for access to a Practice Site (the “Practice Edition License Fee”) in the amount of [***] ([***]) per month for each additional Provider above [***] who has been granted access to a Practice Site. Total Practice Edition License Fees due will be calculated quarterly in arrears based on the aggregate number of enrolled Providers in Practice Sites on the last day of each calendar month during the quarter minus [***] multiplied by [***] ([***]). The three different monthly fees shall then be aggregated and Anthem shall pay the cumulative amount due to Vendor for the quarter in question.

There is no additional license fee payable charge for the creation of Practice Sites, whether or not Anthem charges or collects a fee for such Practice Sites from Providers.

Vendor agrees that the Anthem has the right to revoke the activities performed on behalf of Anthem’s Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D members and delegated under this agreement if CMS or the Anthem determines that Vendor or any of its independent contractors or subcontractors has not performed the services satisfactorily and/or if requisite reporting and disclosure requirements are not otherwise fully met in a timely manner. Such revocation shall be consistent with the termination provisions of the Agreement.

Any printed materials, including but not limited to letters to the Anthem’s members, brochures, advertisements, telemarketing scripts, packaging prepared or produced by Vendor or any of its subcontractors pursuant to this Agreement must be submitted to the Anthem for review and approval at each planning stage (i.e., creative, copy, mechanicals, blue lines, etc.) to assure compliance with Federal, state, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association guidelines.

Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plan—Compliance Training, Education and Communications. In accordance with, but not limited to 42 C.F.R. 422.503(b)(4)(vi)(C)&(D) and 42 C.F.R. 423.504(b)(4)(vi)(C)&(D) Vendor agrees and certifies that it, as well as its employees, subcontractors, downstream entities, related entities and agents who provide services to or for Anthem’s Medicare Advantage and/or Part D Covered Individuals or to or for the Anthem itself shall participate in applicable compliance training, education and/or communications as reasonably requested by the Anthem or its designee annually or as otherwise required by applicable law, and must be made a part of the orientation for a new employee, new first tier, downstream or related entity and for all new appointments of a chief executive, manager, or governing body member. Both parties agree that the Anthem or its designee may make such compliance training, education and lines of communication available to Vendor in either electronic, paper or other reasonable medium. To the extent that Anthem does not indicate that it will be documenting attendance and completion of the compliance training, education and/or lines of communication, Vendor shall be responsible for documenting applicable employee’s, subcontractor’s, downstream entity’s, related entity’s and/or agent’s attendance and completion of such training. Upon notice, Vendor shall provide such documentation to Anthem, unless otherwise not required by CMS regulation. In addition, the training requirement set forth herein is not required for providers or suppliers who have met the fraud, waste and abuse certification requirements through enrollment into the Medicare program, as those providers and/or suppliers are deemed to have met that portion of the fraud waste and abuse training required by CMS.
