resulting from direct access connection, and (b) misuse and/or unauthorized disclosure of passwords and user IDs provided by United which impact the System. Termination.

Customer's System Access will also terminate upon termination of this Agreement, provided however that if six (6) months run -out is provided in accordance with Exhibit A - Services, Customer may continue to access applicable functionalities within the Systems during the run -out period. Upon any of the termination events described in this Agreement, Customer agrees to cease all use of Systems, and United will deactivate Customer's identification numbers, passwords, and access to the System. Section A7 Pharmacy Benefit Services Pharmacy Network. United or its affiliate will provide the Pharmacy Benefit Services described in this Section. United will make Network Pharmacies available to Customer Participants, through United's affiliate. United will determine which pharmacies are Network Pharmacies. Network Pharmacies can change at any time and United will when reasonably possible provide Customer with at least sixty (60) calendar day advance notice if any material changes occur to the network. Upon request, United will provide Customer information on the reimbursement rate to United's affiliated Network Pharmacies. Mail Order Pharmacy Services. United will provide, through United's affiliate, mail order pharmacy services for Customer's Participants. Customer's pricing terms for mail order pharmacy services are based on package sizes of 100 units, 16 ounce quantities or the next closest quantity available and at least a 46 day supply. Prescriptions filled through the mail order pharmacy that are less than a 46 day supply will be processed at retail pricing and will be counted with retail utilization. United will retain the difference between the package size of 100 units or 16 ounces and the actual manufacturer's package size which the mail order pharmacy's price is based on. Prescription Drug List (PDL). Customer has adopted one or more of United's PDLs for use with Customer's benefit plans. Customer agrees not to copy, distribute, sell, or otherwise provide the PDL to another party without United's prior written approval, except to Participants as described below. On termination of this Agreement or if Customer deletes the Pharmacy Benefit Services portion of this Agreement, Customer will stop all use of the PDL. While Customer is the ultimate decision -maker on selecting the design of Customer's PDL(s), Customer has requested that United supply and assist Customer with, certain PDL development and management functions including but not limited to drug tiering decisions. United's intent is to provide Customer with the same PDL and management strategies that United develops and employs in the management of United's fully insured business. United makes the final classification of an FDA - approved prescription drug product to a certain tier of the PDL by considering a number of factors including, but not limited to, clinical and economic factors. Clinical factors may include, but are not limited to, evaluations of the place in therapy, relative safety or relative efficacy of the prescription drug product, as well as whether supply limits or notification requirements should apply. Economic factors may include, but are not limited to, the prescription drug product's acquisition cost including, but not limited to, available Rebates, and assessments on the cost effectiveness of the prescription drug product. United may periodically down -tier the placement of a prescription drug product among the tiers. These changes may occur without prior notice. Once a year, United may also up -tier the placement of a prescription drug product among the tiers and/or recommend specific prescription drug product exclusions from coverage. United will provide notice of at least sixty (60) calendar days to Customer of material changes to the PDL, United's drug tier classification procedures, coverage exclusions, and clinical programs. If Customer chooses not to implement a particular coverage exclusion or clinical program change, Customer needs to inform United in writing sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the exclusion or change. Current drug placement and related information may be obtained from the website, or by calling customer service. Claims Processing. United will process the claims received from a Network Pharmacy in accordance with the Summary Plan Description, as well as the pricing and other terms of the Network Pharmacy's participation agreement. On mail order pharmacy services, United will retain the difference between what we reimburse the Network Pharmacy and Customer payment for a prescription drug product or service. 15
