A. Mutual Indemnification. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify the other party for claims brought

of the indemnifying party. This indemnification shall not be construed to be an indemnification for the acts
or omissions of third parties, independent contractors or third party agents of the indemnified party. This
indemnification shall not be construed as a waiver of Customer's sovereign immunity, and shall be
interpreted as limited to only such traditional liabilities for which Customer could be liable under the
common law interpreting the limited waiver of sovereign immunity. Any claims against Customer must
comply with the procedures found in §768.28, Florida Statues. In order to comply with the requirements
of § 129.06, Florida Statutes, and Article VII, section 10 of the Florida Constitution, the value of this
indemnification is limited to the lesser of the amount payable by either party under the substantive
provisions of this Agreement, or the limitations of §768.28, Florida Statutes. In addition, this
indemnification shall be construed to limit recovery by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party
to only those damages caused by the indemnifying party's sole negligence, and specifically not include any
attorney's fees or costs associated therewith.
B. Conditions. The parties' indemnification obligations under this Section 7 are contingent upon: (i) the
indemnified party giving prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim under this Section

hereunder except to the extent, and only to the extent, that the indemnifying party shall have been actually
prejudiced as a result of such failure), (ii) the indemnifying party having the right, but not the obligation,
to assume sole control of the defense or settlement of the claim, and (iii) at the indemnifying party's request
and expense, the indemnified party cooperating in the investigation and defense of such claim(s). If the
indemnifying party assumes the defense of any claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall be entitled to
participate in (but not control) such defense and to retain its own counsel, at its own expense. The
indemnifying party shall not settle or consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim that adversely
affects the rights or interests of the indemnified party or imposes additional obligations on the indemnified
party, without the prior express written consent of the indemnified party.

negotiated PBM AWP Discount rate is lower than CorVel's Acquisition Price.
ii. Compound Drugs and Specialty Medications are priced per Definition subsections (d) and
(u).
(f) Both parties understand that pricing indices historically used (including under this Agreement) for
determining the financial components of pharmacy billing rates are outside the control of CorVel

regulatory activities which may lead to changes relating to, or elimination of, these pricing indices
that could alter the financial positions and expectations of both parties as intended under this
Agreement.
Both parties agree that, upon entering into this Agreement and thereafter, their mutual intent has
been and is to maintain pricing neutrality as intended and not to benefit one party to the detriment
of the other.

City of Clearwater Risk Management Managed Care Services Agreement FINAL 12 -15 -16
Accordingly, to preserve this mutual intent, if pricing neutrality does change and CorVel undertakes
any or all of the following:
i. Changes the AWP source across its book of business (e.g., from Medi -Span to First
Databank); or
ii. Maintains AWP as the pricing index with an appropriate adjustment in the event the AWP
methodology and/or its calculation is changed, whether by the existing or alternative
sources; or
iii. Transitions the pricing index from AWP to another index or benchmark (e.g., to Wholesale
Acquisition Cost);
Customer's negotiated PBM pricing will be modified as reasonably and equitably necessary to
maintain the pricing intent under this Agreement.

CareMC License Agreement
This CAREMC LICENSE AGREEMENT (the "CareMC License Agreement ") is incorporated by reference into the
Managed Care Services Agreement (the "Master Agreement ") to which it is attached. The parties acknowledge and
agree that the terms and conditions under which the Managed Care Services are provided by CorVel and received by
Customer shall be governed by the Master Agreement (including without limitation all additional Exhibits and
applicable Schedules attached thereto), while the terms and conditions under which Customer may access and use the
Online Services shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this CareMC License Agreement. All defined terms
used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Master Agreement.
1. ACCESS TO THE CAREMC APPLICATION
A. Registration Information. Prior to accessing the CareMC Application, Customer shall provide CorVel with certain
registration information requested therein ( "Registration Information "). Customer covenants that the Registration Information
Customer provides will be true, accurate, current and complete and will be updated as necessary to it so.
B. Passwords and Levels of Access. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, CorVel shall create a
unique username and password for each individual Authorized User identified by Customer as requiring access to the Online
Services. Customer shall then designate two groups of Authorized Users. The first group of Authorized Users ( "Restricted Users ")
shall have access to only the data available on the CareMC Site that relates to claims specific to that Authorized User and such
other data that Customer specifically requests in writing be accessible to such Authorized User. The second group of Authorized
Users ( "Non- Restricted Users ") shall have access to all data available on the CareMC Site that relates to claims specific to
Customer. Access by Individual Users and Non - Restricted Users to data available on the CareMC Site shall be subject in all cases
to any limitations imposed by applicable law.
C. PHI Data. Authorized Users shall have access to all data available through the CareMC Application, including data that
constitutes or contains "protected health information" ( "PHI Data ") as such term is defined in 45 CFR Section 164.501 of the
regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104 -191 ( "HIPAA "), but shall only have access to PHI Data to the extent necessary for
Customer to render payment on a claim, and then only to those portions or amounts of PHI Data that are determined by CorVel, in
its sole discretion, to be the minimum necessary for Customer to render payment on such claim.
D. Security of Passwords. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for (i) selecting Authorized
Users, (ii) assigning the various levels of authority and access each Authorized User may have to the CareMC Application, Online
Services and Customer Data, including by determining which Authorized Users shall be Non - Restricted Users, (iii) ensuring that
only Authorized Users have access to the passwords provided by CorVel or changed by Authorized Users, (iv) implementing a
system to control, track and account for all passwords, (v) strictly maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of all passwords and
levels of authority among Authorized Users, and (vi) ensuring that Authorized Users shall at all times comply with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Customer further agrees that it shall notify CorVel immediately in writing if the security or integrity
of a password has been compromised. CorVel will provide reasonable cooperation to Customer in the event of a security breach.
Such support will include but not be limited to suspending service for passwords whose security or integrity has been violated.
Passwords may be changed at any time by Authorized Users, and must be changed at least once every ninety (90) days.
E. Customer Data. Responsibility for ensuring that the content and data provided by or for Customer ( "Customer Data ") to
be entered into the CareMC Application by CorVel is accurate and reflects Customer's requirements lies solely with Customer.
All data generated by and through Customer's use of the CareMC Application and Online Services shall reside on CorVel's server.
