4.5 | Changes; No Scope Creep. |
4.5.1 | Unless expressly provided otherwise herein, all amendments to a Statement of Work must be in writing and must be signed by authorized representatives of WellPoint and Supplier. It is crucial that authorized WellPoint officials approve any change in the scope of a Statement of Work, especially an expansion in scope, before the change is implemented. Any change in the scope or objective of a Statement of Work or in the Services to be performed under a Statement of Work must be approved, prior to the change being made, by modifying the Statement of Work in a writing signed by an authorized representative of each Party. WellPoint will not be liable for payment for work performed beyond the scope of the Statement of Work unless written approval for scope expansion was granted in advance of the additional work being performed. Any modification to this Agreement other than to a Statement of Work shall be forwarded to WellPoint’s legal department for review reasonably in advance of execution. |
4.5.2 | WellPoint may, at any time, by written notice to Supplier, request changes to a Statement of Work (a “Change Request”). |
4.5.3 | For fixed fee Statements of Work, if the Change Request causes an increase in the time required to implement the project, as changed, which is greater than the threshold specified in the Statement of Work, an equitable adjustment will be made to the contract price, the performance schedule, or both. Upon Supplier’s receipt of a Change Request, Supplier will promptly provide WellPoint with an estimate of the impact (with such estimate to be provided at no charge to WellPoint), if any, of such change on the price or performance schedule. If the parties mutually agree to the impact of such change, a written description of the agreed change (a “Change Authorization”) will be prepared which must be signed on behalf of WellPoint, by the WellPoint Project Manager and, if the value of the Change Request exceeds $50,000 or 10% of the value of the Statement of Work, a WellPoint Vice President, and on behalf of the Supplier, by an authorized representative of the Supplier before it is binding. In the event of any conflicts or inconsistency, the terms of a Change Authorization shall prevail over those of the Statement of Work. Any disagreement between the parties concerning the impact of the Change Request will be treated as a dispute subject to resolution pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures of this Agreement. No verbal request for change will have any effect, and Supplier is not entitled to any adjustment in price or performance schedule for changes: (i) which are not authorized by a written Change Authorization signed by the WellPoint Project Manager or Vice President, as applicable, (ii) unless agreed to in a separate Statement of Work signed by authorized representatives of both parties, or (iii) resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures herein for any unagreed Change Request. |

WellPoint may cancel or postpone any specific work with Supplier (without any financial penalty and without such cancellation constituting a breach of contract by WellPoint) if WellPoint determines that it does not possess the needed license for Supplier to perform the Services for which such third-party software is needed, and Supplier shall not be penalized financially or otherwise be in breach of contract if it fails to meet any milestones or timelines set forth in any Statement of Work on account of such cancellation by WellPoint. |

If applicable, for each item of third-party software to which WellPoint provides Supplier access or use of pursuant to a Statement of Work, Supplier must deinstall and return all such software to WellPoint upon the expiration or termination of a Statement of Work or at WellPoint’s request (and, at WellPoint’s request, provide an officer’s written certification it has done so). Supplier may use or have access to such software only for the purpose of performing the applicable Statement of Work and any other use is strictly prohibited. Supplier shall adhere to any third-party software license limitations when informed of, or provided with, those limitations, and shall indemnify, protect and defend WellPoint for any misuse by Supplier or its personnel.] |

Moreover, any modification or alteration made at the direction of or with the approval of Supplier (or its agents or subcontractors) shall not constitute an altered release for purposes of the exceptions set forth in this subparagraph .

Supplier shall directly render all Services exclusively through its employees and shall not use any subcontractors except as may be authorized by WellPoint pursuant to this Article 14. Prior to subcontracting any of the Services, Supplier shall notify WellPoint of the proposed subcontractor and shall obtain WellPoint’s approval of such subcontractor, which approval may be given in WellPoint’s sole discretion. Prior to supplementing the scope of services for any previously approved subcontract relating to the Services, Supplier shall provide WellPoint with a summary description of the proposed supplement and shall obtain WellPoint’s approval thereof.
14.1.2. WellPoint Designated Subcontractors. WellPoint may recommend Supplier to contract with one or more specified subcontractors to perform services on behalf of WellPoint under the direction and control of Supplier.

After receipt of such notice, Supplier shall have five days in which to investigate the matters stated and discuss its findings with WellPoint. In the event that, following that five-day period, WellPoint still requests replacement of the Supplier subcontractor, Supplier shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, cease using such Supplier subcontractor to provide the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, WellPoint will not have the right under this Section 14.1.5 to require Supplier, or any subcontractor, to terminate any individual’s employment. In the event that, in its reasonable discretion, WellPoint believes that any Supplier subcontractor (or individual retained by such Supplier subcontractor) is a threat to the health, safety or security of any of WellPoint’s, a WellPoint affiliate’s or a third-party’s personnel, data or property, or is disruptive to WellPoint’s or a WellPoint affiliate’s provision of health care services, or threatens to be, or is in breach of the terms of this Agreement or any WellPoint policy or procedure which was previously provided to Supplier, then WellPoint shall have the right to remove that Supplier subcontractor from the provision of the Services and, without limiting the foregoing, WellPoint shall have the right to restrict such Supplier subcontractor’s access to WellPoint’s or any WellPoint affiliate’s facilities and systems at its sole discretion.
14.1.6.Assignments. Supplier shall not use any subcontractor, without first assigning all right, title and interest in any services performed by the subcontractors to Supplier, and obtaining such agreements from the subcontractors, evidenced by written contract, as are necessary for such assignment.
14.1.7.Subcontractor Compliance. Supplier shall be responsible for each subcontractor’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement as well as for the subcontractor’s performance of any Services.
