EXHIBIT 10.95

APPLICATION AND BUSINESS SERVICES AGREEMENT

This APPLICATION AND BUSINESS SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Maxicare Health Plans, Inc. (“Client”) and The TriZetto Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “TriZetto”), and is effective as of the 1st day of September 2000.

Whereas, TriZetto offers certain connectivity, assessment and transformation services and is an Application Services Provider, which delivers pre-integrated and hosted best of class packaged software applications, transaction services and other management services to clients; and

Whereas, Client wishes to contract with TriZetto to provide certain services.

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. TriZetto Services.

a) Services. TriZetto shall provide the "Services" and “Supported Applications” described in Exhibit A of this Agreement at the “Service Levels” set forth in Exhibit B. The Services, Supported Applications and Service Levels may be modified only by mutual written agreement of TriZetto and Client. Material changes, individually or in the aggregate, or additions to work performed pursuant to Exhibit A or Exhibit B may require changes in the resources provided by TriZetto and are subject to the change control provisions set forth in Exhibit C. TriZetto will provide application and operation support services to Client only for the software application programs (the “Supported Applications”) specifically identified in Exhibit A.

b) License. In accordance with this Agreement, TriZetto hereby provides Client a restricted, non-transferable (except as provided herein) and nonexclusive license to use the Supported Applications for the purpose of supporting the internal operations of Client’s business. Client may use the Supported Applications only to process Client’s own data and that of Client’s patients, members, medical groups, providers, and wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliates. Client may not use the Supported Applications in a resale capacity, to process and/or analyze the data of a third party as a service bureau, or on any hardware and with any operating system or applications software other than as approved in advance and in writing by TriZetto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Client may sublicense any or all of its rights in and to the Supported Applications to any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries or its affiliates; provided, however, that such sublicensee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term affiliates shall mean, a person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, Client.

c) Connectivity Solutions. Client will utilize the required equipment, including but not limited to, desktops, network, servers, and printers, as well as application software and operating system software (collectively, the “Required Equipment”) which are identified in Exhibit A to this Agreement and based on TriZetto’s assessment of Client’s infrastructure. Client acknowledges and agrees that the Service Levels are predicated and conditioned upon Client’s use of the required Equipment. Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, Client shall have sole responsibility for maintaining the Required Equipment.

d) Other Services. From time to time, TriZetto may, at Client’s request, perform consulting and other services outside the scope of this Agreement (the “Other Services”). The terms and conditions under which Other Services are provided shall be governed by the change control provisions set forth in Exhibit C or pursuant to a separate written agreement between Client and TriZetto.

2. Invoicing and Payment Terms.

a) Invoices. TriZetto will invoice Client monthly in advance for the Services and Supported Applications, to be provided to Client during the upcoming month at the applicable rates and for the amounts set forth in Exhibit E . TriZetto shall begin invoicing for such services when TriZetto makes the Services available for use or as otherwise provided in Exhibit E.

b) Prior Month Adjustment. Within fifteen (15) business days after the end of each month, Client shall deliver to TriZetto a statement indicating the number of members enrolled in Client’s health plan. Upon receipt of such reconciliation, the following month’s invoice shall include a billing adjustment which reflects the retroactive increase or decrease in the number of members for the prior month; provided, however, that TriZetto shall not be required to make adjustments to reflect increases or decreases that occurred more than four months prior to the invoice date.

c) Payment Terms; Interest. Client will pay TriZetto all undisputed fees within 30 days of the receipt by Client of the invoice. If Client fails to pay undisputed amount of any invoice within 30 days after receipt by Client, TriZetto may charge interest of the lesser of 1.5% or the maximum permissible rate per month on any outstanding undisputed balance and, upon Client’s failure to pay undisputed outstanding balances following the due date and subsequently within 30 days notice from TriZetto, TriZetto may suspend Services and Supported Applications until such outstanding balances are paid, unless the parties have extended the payment due date in writing. Any disputes regarding fees shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.

d) Taxes. Client will be responsible for the payment of sales and use taxes related to the delivery of the Services or Supported Applications. TriZetto will be responsible for the payment of all taxes assessed against TriZetto or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or properties, or based on TriZetto’s revenues, income or property. If TriZetto is required to pay any such taxes directly, Client shall, upon receipt of TriZetto’s invoice, reimburse TriZetto for any amount that TriZetto has

paid. TriZetto shall, to the extent reasonably possible, deliver any products or services contemplated hereby through electronic media or other means requested by Client.

e) Insurance Coverage.

i) Client Insurance. Client shall obtain and maintain, at Client’s expense, commercially reasonable liability insurance and insurance against loss or damage to TriZetto’ s property located on Client’s premises, if any, in amounts set forth on Exhibit F. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, such insurance coverage may be included in insurance coverage maintained by Client on its own property. Upon request, Client shall furnish TriZetto with a Certificate of Insurance or other evidence of insurance coverage. Client shall take commercially reasonable steps to protect from damage TriZetto’s hardware and other property located on Client’s premises, if any.

ii) TriZetto Insurance. TriZetto shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain its current levels of insurance coverage as set forth on Exhibit F, at its own expense.

iii) Failure to Maintain Coverage. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing if a lapse in coverage occurs. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, failure to maintain insurance as provided in this Section 2(f) shall not be the basis for termination of this Agreement by either party.

3. The Parties’ Responsibilities. The parties will adhere to and comply with the roles and responsibilities set forth in Exhibit F.

4. Visitations, Access and Exclusivity.

a) Visitations. Upon at least two business days’ prior written request to TriZetto, TriZetto will allow Client to visit TriZetto facilities during normal business hours, subject to TriZetto’s standard administrative and security procedures, to review TriZetto's operations as they relate to the Services provided under this Agreement. Client shall always use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any disruption to TriZetto’s business.

b) Access. Client will provide TriZetto prompt and adequate access to Client’s systems and facilities as needed for TriZetto to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Except to the extent necessary to address emergencies or at Client’s request, TriZetto shall provide at least two business days’ notice of any needed access, and shall always use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any disruption to Client’s business.

5. Ownership of Software, Data and Records.

a) Right to Software.

i) TriZetto’s Right. Except as set forth in Exhibit A, TriZetto represents and warrants that TriZetto, to the best of its knowledge, owns or has the right to use and license all the hardware and software components used to provide the Supported Applications and Services under this Agreement for the Supported Applications and as contemplated by this Agreement.

ii) Client’s Right. Client represents and warrants that Client, to the best of its knowledge, owns or has the right to use the legacy hardware and software components that it will continue to use during the term of this Agreement.

b) Infringement Action. If Client promptly notifies TriZetto in writing of a third party action against Client that any Service or Supported Application infringes upon a United States registered patent or a United States registered trademark or copyright, or misappropriates a trade secret, TriZetto will defend such action at its sole expense and will pay any and all costs or damages that are finally awarded against Client resulting from such action. Client shall provide TriZetto with its reasonable cooperation (at TriZetto’s expense) and full authority to defend or settle the action. TriZetto will not pay any such damages, however, if the claim of infringement is caused by (1) Client's misuse of the Services; (2) Client's failure to use corrections or enhancements made available at cost on a timely basis by TriZetto; (3) Client's use of the Services in combination with any product or information not provided or authorized in writ ing by TriZetto; or (4) information, direction, specification or materials provided by Client or any third party directed by Client. If any Supported Application or Service is, or in TriZetto's reasonable opinion is likely to be, held to be infringing, TriZetto shall at its option and sole expense either (a) procure the right for Client to continue using it, (b) replace it with a noninfringing equivalent reasonably satisfactory to Client, or (c) modify it to make it noninfringing. If it is not commercially reasonable for TriZetto to cure infringement by taking the steps set forth in the preceding sentence, TriZetto may terminate the Supported Application or Services. Upon such termination, TriZetto shall, at its own expense, perform deconversion services in order to transfer and convert the Client Data to a new application. TriZetto will not be responsible for any licensing or maintenance fees for the new application or for any additional hardware or software required to run such application. The foregoing r emedies constitute Client's sole and exclusive remedies and TriZetto's entire liability with respect to infringement.

c) Client’s Use of Software. Client acknowledges and understands that TriZetto may provide to Client (i) TriZetto owned software, and/or (ii) software applications owned by third parties which TriZetto uses under license agreements with such third parties. Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) title to all such TriZetto software and software applications remains with and is subject to the proprietary rights of TriZetto or its third party vendors, and (ii) such software and software applications may contain trade secrets and other valuable proprietary information of TriZetto or its third party vendors. Client may not grant any sublicenses to or otherwise make such software, such software applications, the Supported Applications, or the documentation available to any other person, entity or business. Client agrees that Client will not reverse assemble, reverse compile, reverse engineer, modify, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works based on, or demonstrate such software, such software applications or th e Supported Applications in whole or in part.

d) Data and Records. TriZetto understands and agrees that TriZetto receives no ownership rights in the materials, data or records furnished by Client ("Client’s Data") and that Client receives no ownership rights to the Supported Applications. Client represents and warrants that Client and those providing information to Client have the right to transmit to TriZetto and receive any materials, data or records from TriZetto, that are required to enable TriZetto to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Except as set forth herein or as specifically authorized by Client in writing, TriZetto will not disclose Client’s Data to a third party or make any other use of Client’s Data. TriZetto shall be responsible for conformance with all laws, statutes, rules, regulations and other obligations relating to TriZetto’s handling of private information relating to medical records obtained by or for Client and its subsidiari es and affiliates; provided, however, that TriZetto shall not be responsible for violations of laws, statutes, rules, regulations and other obligations due to Client’s acts or omissions.

e) Source Code Escrow. Prior to the first productive use of the TriZetto Software, which shall be no later than the date on which the TriZetto Software is first used by Client for commercial purposes, TriZetto shall deposit with a third party escrow agent reasonably acceptable to Client the source code, together with all documentation and descriptions associated therewith, of the TriZetto Software, pursuant to a Source Code Escrow Agreement (the “ Escrow Agreement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, Maxicare shall, at no additional cost, be entitled to receive and use for the remaining term of the Agreement, a source code version of the TriZetto Software that is currently in use by Maxicare if TriZetto has breached its obligations under the Agreement and such breach is not cured as provided herein. For purposes of this Section 5(e), "TriZetto Software" shall m ean that software developed and owned by TriZetto, including certain Supported Applications owned by TriZetto, any interfaces between or integration of the Supported Applications developed and owned by TriZetto, and any other software application owned by TriZetto to support Client's use of the Supported Applications. TriZetto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have its third party vendors deposit the source code, together with all documentation and descriptions associated therewith, of the non-TriZetto Software which is offered as a part of the Supported Applications.

6. Confidentiality.

a) Both TriZetto and Client have made and will continue throughout the term of this Agreement to make available to the other party confidential and proprietary materials and information ("Proprietary Information").

c) Neither of the parties’ obligations of confidentiality will prevent or prohibit the parties from providing access to Proprietary Information upon request of a state or federal regulatory agency or authority as may be required, in such party’s reasonable discretion, by law or judicial or administrative process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any requested access to Proprietary Information by a regulatory authority, the one of the parties from whom the Proprietary Information is requested will provide notice to the other in a timely fashion to allow the other party the opportunity to contest the release of its Proprietary Information to such regulatory authority.

d) TriZetto will comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning security and privacy in TriZetto’s performance of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and regulations promulgated thereunder.

10. Term and Termination.

a) Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, the term of this Agreement will commence on the date first set forth above and will continue for an initial period of seven years. This Agreement will automatically renew each year for successive one year terms unless either one of the parties terminates the Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the other party at least 180 days before the termination date.

In the event of a claim of breach under this Section 10(b), the party alleging such breach shall give written notice of the alleged breach , which notice shall specify the nature of any such claim in sufficient detail to allow the receiving party to investigate the allegations. This Agreement may be terminated by the party alleging such breach 30 days after the deliver of notice unless: (i) the breach is cured within such 30 days; (ii) except for failures to make payments when due, it is not possible to cure the breach within 30 days but the defaulting party has commenced correction within 30 days and proceeds diligently towards, and completes, a cure within 180 days; or (iii) except for failures to make payments when due, the matter remains a subject of disagreement between the parties and the dispute resolution process has been initiated under Section 9 above.

c) Termination for Convenience. Client may terminate this Agreement upon 180 days prior written notice to TriZetto setting forth the date of termination and by paying the termination fees set forth hereunder upon the date of termination. The prices for Services under this Agreement were determined by mutual agreement based upon certain assumed volumes of processing activity and the length of the term of this Agreement. Client acknowledges that without the certainty of revenue for the full term of the Agreement, TriZetto would have been unwilling to provide processing Services at the prices set forth in the Agreement.

Upon Client’s early termination, Client will pay TriZetto the amounts set forth on Exhibit E.

Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason and subject to agreement on reasonable terms, TriZetto shall assist Client in the deconversion and transfer of information to Client or a party or parties identified by Client and with such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate, in Client’s reasonable judgment, to facilitate the transfer of the functions performed by TriZetto to Client or an entity selected by Client.
