            WHEREAS, The TriZetto Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("TriZetto") and the Company have proposed to enter into an Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization, to be dated as of March 28, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement");

            WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Rights Agreement to render
the Rights (as defined in the Rights Agreement) inapplicable to the Merger (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) and the other transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement;

            WHEREAS, the Company deems this Amendment to be necessary and
desirable and in the best interests of the holders of Rights and has duly
approved this Amendment;

            WHEREAS, Section 27 of the Rights Agreement permits the Company to
amend the Rights Agreement in the manner provided herein;

            WHEREAS, Section 27 of the Rights Agreement provides that the Rights
Agent shall execute this Amendment upon delivery of a certificate from an
appropriate officer of the Company which states that this Amendment is in
compliance with the terms of Section 27 of the Rights Agreement (the "Officer's
Certificate"); and

            WHEREAS, the Officer's Certificate is being delivered to the Rights
Agent concurrently with this Amendment;

            NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby amends the Rights Agreement as
follows:

            1. Addition of a new Section 35 which shall read as follows:

            "Section 35. Exemption of Specified Transaction. Solely for the
purposes of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, to be dated as of March 28, 2000 (hereinafter referred to as the
"Merger Agreement"), between the Company and The TriZetto Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("TriZetto"), (i) neither TriZetto nor any of its
Affiliates shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person as a result of the
execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement or the IMS Voting Agreement (as
contemplated by the Merger Agreement) or the consummation of the



Merger (as contemplated by the Merger Agreement), (ii) the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, shall not be deemed
to be an event or transaction contemplated by Section 13 hereof, and (iii) a
Distribution Date shall not occur by reason of the approval, execution,
announcement or consummation of the Merger Agreement or the transactions
contemplated thereby. If the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason in
accordance with its terms or otherwise, this Section 35 shall not apply and
shall have no further force and effect."

            2. The Rights Agreement shall not otherwise be supplemented or
amended by virtue of this Amendment, but shall remain in full force and effect
as amended hereby.



            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Rights Agent have executed
this Amendment as of the date and year first written above.
