ATTACHMENT 3
GBO BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS FOR SELLER ITS SERVICES
The GBO Business acquired by Buyer (hereinafter in this Attachment "GBO") and
the Seller's ITS Division ("ITS") agree to support objectives and conditions set
forth in this attachment.
The intent of this attachment is to:
- establish a support relationship between the parties; the
nature of which is likely to be dynamic rather than static due
to changes in business drivers for GBO and ITS.
- Ensure that business needs are properly met;
- clarify the service and support requirements and
responsibilities.
As a result of the constantly changing business requirements and technological
advances, this attachment will be reviewed on an annual basis to insure it
remains current.
1. Architecture
The GBO processing architecture for claims processing has two major
components. They are on-line processing and batch processing. In
addition there are a number of administrative systems, dominated by the
billing and accounting system called CASS, which is client server
system where the server is DB2 on the mainframe. Both are critical to
the success and effectiveness of GBO's business.
Batch Processing. The Batch processing system for the claims system
begins at 7:30 p.m. E.S.T. each evening. As the claims system,
Hanstar2, is a true on-line interactive update system, it is not
necessary for the batch cycle to be completed before the on-line system
is brought up for the next business day. There are a number of batch
jobs that must be completed and these are prioritized to be done as
early in the batch cycle as possible. The system completes the claim
payment cycle through the production of checks/EOBs, daily accounting
reports and feeds administrative reports.
On-Line Processing. The on-line systems are separated into several
distinct functions. The Hanstar2 claim payment system which provides
support to all field claim offices across the country; the CASS system,
which provides support for billing and accounting activities; and
several other on-line systems that support pricing, dividends,
contracts, association billing and administrative services.

33
It will be incumbent upon the parties involved to ensure that the
installed infrastructure is capable of supporting the architectural
requirements of the business systems.
2. Roles and Responsibilities
ITS and GBO will designate individuals to be the focal points for
interfacing on mainframe and midrange systems related issues. These
individuals' responsibilities will include:
a. Monthly meetings to review results and issues;
b. Negotiating special requests;
c. Resolving issues and establishing priorities for
staff assignments; and
d. Problem escalation.
ITS Technical Services. ITS Technical Services is responsible for
creating and maintaining the technical infrastructure required to
support the GBO environment. Technical Services will provide staffing
to accommodate a workload projected to be equivalent to seven (7) full
time systems programmers. This is consistent with previous support
levels. Workloads and priorities will be determined and scheduled
through the ITS Relationship Manager with input from the GBO
Relationship Manager.
TechLine. The TechLine is responsible for assisting the GBO Production
Support teams with online and client/server environmental problems.
Escalation procedures for problems are defined by communication from
the problem source through GBO Help Desk operations staff, and up to
the management of both ITS and GBO using existing procedures. The
Relationship Managers will also be notified and it will be their
responsibility to resolve any issues.
With very few exceptions, the GBO Help Desk will be the primary contact
for GBO clients. The GBO Production teams will assess the problem and
will determine if the TechLine should be contacted.
Computer Operations. Computer Operations is responsible for monitoring
and reporting problems with system level hardware and software used to
support the GBO applications. This function will be staffed on a 7X24
hour basis and special requests outside of the Seller's normal work
hours (7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time) will be addressed
to the shift supervisor. All batch problems will be serviced in the
existing traditional Job scheduling notification and escalation
workflow.
GBO Systems. The GBO Systems Department is responsible for all
application sets and administration of all relevant databases. GBO
Systems will have primary responsibility for these systems. This
includes problem identification, resolution, maintenance and support of
files and data. The team will also be responsible for change controls
as it

GBO Systems personnel will adhere to all standard Seller operations
practices (i.e., change control, problem management, data security,
etc.).

resources in resolving application problems will be managed by GBO
Systems with ITS acting as a technical consultant.
3. Production/System Support
GBO Business Group Systems teams will be the primary contact for

during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard
Time).
Changes to Production Systems. Changes to the production system and
special events such as long running monthly sweeps will be coordinated
through a major events calendar maintained in Lotus Notes. All GBO
batch jobs will be scheduled through ESP Scheduler.
ITS will be notified of changes in a timely manner to allow for proper
testing and preparation prior to implementation.
4. Support Process
A. Online Processing
Seller will use reasonable efforts to assure that the mainframe online
component will be available Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m.
through 12:00 midnight Eastern Standard Time. The availability goal for
all on-line networks will be 99.8%. Sunday availability will follow
corporate standards with notification to GBO as to when the systems
will be unavailable. The Sunday goal being to provide as many hours as
possible, but the available time will not be traced for performance
purposes.
Seller will use reasonable efforts to assure that the midrange online
components will be available Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m.
through 12:00 midnight Eastern Standard Time. The response time
objective for the Hanstar on-line network will be 95% of all
transactions occurring in 6 seconds or less.
▇-▇▇
▇▇
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ Processing
All GBO batch processing will be scheduled and controlled by ESP
Scheduler. Major batch processing includes the monthly and quarterly
processing, monthly backups, monthly report processing and nightly
report processing. The significant processing from these systems may be
split over several days to avoid conflict with other processing.
Seller will use reasonable efforts to assure that performance for the
GBO workload will be consistent with expectations established annually
with the GBO Capacity Planning Process.
Network impacts caused by program abends,hardware failures or heavy
batch processing will be communicated to GBO Systems as they occur but
not later than 5:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time.
Problem Tracking and Reporting. The online system will be tracked on
the Remedy tracking system with availability percentages reported to
ITS Management on a monthly basis. Availability and outages will appear
in The Daily Flash.
Any incidence of failure will be reported to the Remedy tracking
system. A Remedy ticket will be prepared. This information will be
discussed at the weekly ITS Management meeting where GBO will be
represented by the Relationship Manager named pursuant to Section 2
above.
Remedy tickets for any failures of the GBO Systems will be discussed at
the 8:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time daily ITS meeting and promptly
assigned to the department responsible for the resolution and
documentation of the issue.
Remedy tickets will be discussed at the monthly ITS review meeting to
ensure the problem has been properly tracked and resolved. Information
text within the tickets will be kept current by GBO.
Problem Resolution/Escalation Process. If a failure to the operating
system or any system software occurs, either the Tech Line or the
Operations Staff will notify the GBO and follow the existing escalation
procedures to inform GBO and Seller management. The Relationship
Managers will also be notified.
5. System Response and Recovery
Application Notification Measures:
Batch. The GBO batch systems will process on the mainframe processors
in the overnight environment. Batch abends will be monitored by the
Operations staff and calls will be made to GBO Systems within 30
minutes of the failure.
A-21
36
On-Line. The online systems will be monitored by the ITS Staff. Daytime
failure of the hardware platform or systems software will be
communicated to GBO Systems by ITS within 30 minutes at any time of the
day. Nighttime failures will be communicated to GBO Systems and ITS
Tech Support as they occur.
Data Responsibilities. The information contained in system and data
backups will be property of GBO and be maintained through the existing
Seller ADSM System. The scheduling and administration of these backups
will remain the shared responsibility of GBO Systems and Seller Tech
Support Teams. ITS will maintain its current schedule for all
production applications.
Tech Support will restore mainframe data base and other system data
from the most recent system backups. It will be the responsibility of
the GBO system area to ensure the files are restored to the proper
generations and are in synchronization with other department and
company files. Tech Support will restore midrange system data from the
most current system backups and ensure the files are in synchronization
with necessary business needs.
Special Considerations. The mainframe and midrange systems may be
unavailable at specific times on Sundays due to scheduled ITS system
maintenance and disaster recovery backups, as appropriate. The
unavailable time will be coordinated through GBO Systems. The goal is
to have the system available as much as possible on Sundays but it will
not be tracked for performance purposes on that day.
Any requests to make the system unavailable Monday through Friday will
result in time being counted as unavailable time.
Special arrangements for holidays will be communicated to ITS by GBO
Systems. (The systems will be unavailable from 4:00 p.m. Christmas Eve
(12/24) until 12:01 a.m. December 26, from 8:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving to
8:00 a.m. on the following day and from 6:00 p.m. on December 31 until
