This Schedule C provides certain guarantees pertaining to Anthem's performance under the Agreement between the
Parties ("Performance Guarantees") and shall be effective for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014
(the "Performance Period"). Descriptions of the terms of each Performance Guarantee applicable to the Parties are
set forth in the Attachments (the "Attachments") to this Schedule C and made a part of this Schedule C. This
Schedule shall supplement and amend the Agreement between the Parties. If there are any inconsistencies between
the terms of the Agreement including any prior Schedules and this Schedule C, the terms of this Schedule C shall

A.

the Performance Period indicated above, unless specifically indicated otherwise in the Attachments. The
Performance Guarantees shall also contain a measurement period (the "Measurement Period") for which
any Performance Guarantee will be calculated. If there are any inconsistencies between the terms
contained in this Schedule, and the terms contained in any of the Attachments to this Schedule C, the
terms of the Attachments to this Schedule C. shall control.

Anthem shall conduct an analysis of the data necessary to calculate any one of the Performance
Guarantees within the timeframes provided in the Attachments to this Schedule C. In addition, any
calculation of Performance Guarantees, reports provided, or analysis performed by Anthem shall be
based on Anthem's then current measurement methodology.

Any audits performed by Anthem to test compliance with any of the Performance Guarantees shall be
based on a statistically valid sample size with a 95% confidence level.

If the Parties do not have an executed Agreement, Anthem shall have no obligation to make payment
under these Performance Guarantees.

Unless otherwise specified in the Attachments to this Schedule C, the measurement of the Performance
Guarantee shall be based on: (1) the performance of any service team, business unit, or measurement
group assigned by Anthem; and (2) data that is maintained and stored by Anthem or its Vendors.

If Employer terminates the Agreement between the Parties prior to the end of the Performance Period, or
if the Agreement is terminated for non-payment, then Employer shall forfeit any right to collect any further
payments under any outstanding Performance Guarantees, whether such Performance Guarantees are
for a prior or current Measurement Period or Performance Period.

Anthem reserves the right to make changes to any of the Performance Guarantees provided in the
Attachments to this Schedule C upon the occurrence, in Anthem's determination, of either:

1. achange to the Plan benefits or the administration of the Plan initiated by Employer that
results in a substantial change in the services to be performed by Anthem or the measurement
of a Performance Guarantee; or

2. anincrease or decrease of 10% or more of the number of Members that were enrolled for
coverage on the latter of the effective date or renewal date of this Agreement.

Should there be a change in occurrence as indicated above and these changes negatively impact Anthem's

Guarantees contained in the Attachments.
