carrier and to provide for development of new products.

(e) United may periodically propose for approval by AARP

and AARP Trust.

3.4 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

emergency, United may enter into subcontracts to deal with such
emergency without AARP's consent, and provided further that
United promptly notifies AARP of any such action. In the event
that United subcontracts any work under this Section 3.5,
United shall be solely responsible for such subcontracted
Services, AARP will look solely to United as if the services
were performed by United, and United will require each such
subcontractor to comply with the security arrangements and
confidentiality provisions appropriate to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, United may not enter into any
reinsurance arrangement in respect of the SHIP, other than
ordinary course coinsurance, indemnity reinsurance or stop loss
reinsurance arrangements, with any party other than a direct or
indirect-majority owned subsidiary of United without the prior
consent of AARP, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Nothing herein shall establish any contractual
relationship between AARP or AARP Trust and any subcontractor
or supplier, and neither AARP nor AARP Trust shall have any
obligation to pay or cause the payment of any moneys to any
subcontractor or supplier. Any subcontract pertaining to the
provision of Services (whether or not approved by AARP) shall
not relieve United of its contractual obligations hereunder
pertaining to the delivery of such Services.

3.6.3 TAX BENEFIT FROM DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. To the extent
that United receives any reduction of taxes ("Tax Benefit")

annually this Tax Benefit and the associated gross up, computed
under the same principles as the Tax Reimbursement, based on
the federal, state and local income tax rates applicable to
United in effect in the applicable year. Such Tax Benefit
shall be credited against United's compensation described in
Article 6 hereof.

component of the Transferred Assets. Alternatively, to the
extent of a loss on the disposition of a component of the
Transferred Assets, AARP Trust shall be entitled to the

Reimbursement or Tax Benefit shall be added to or credited
against United's compensation described in Article 6 hereof.

3.7 EXCLUSIVITY. United shall not market group health insurance products
or programs comparable to those offered pursuant to the SHIP to any
other nonemployer group without the prior consent of AARP and AARP
Trust; provided, however, that United may continue to offer all of its
health insurance products and programs existing as of the date of this
Agreement and any health insurance products and programs offered by any
other entity as of the date of its acquisition by United, in each case
without regard to the comparability of such products to those offered
pursuant to the SHIP. This Section 3.7 also shall not preclude United
from directly or indirectly offering any products which it presently
offers or from developing any products for sale through its affiliated
health maintenance organizations.

3.8 CONFLICTING APPROVALS. To the extent that United is required hereby to
obtain approvals, consents, directions or recommendations from any
party other than AARP or AARP Trust with respect to the Services or the
SHIP, in the event of any inconsistency between any such approval,
consent, direction or recommendation receival from AARP or AARP

Trust, on the one hand, and another party, on the other hand, the
approval, consent, direction or recommendation issued by AARP or AARP
Trust shall be controlling.

obligations under the Contract Documents or a material adverse
economic effect on United's provision of the SHIP or the
Services, United may notify AARP and AARP Trust that it has
concluded that the SHIP is not or will not be financially
sustainable. If AARP disagrees with United's conclusion, AARP
shall provide United with written notice thereof within 30 days
of receipt of United's notice and the parties shall promptly
select a mutually agreed upon actuarial firm to which, the sole
of which shall be paid equally by United and Hartford and not
charged to the SHIP, shall provide a recommendation as to
whether United's conclusion is reasonable. If the parties are
unable to agree upon an actuarial firm within 30 days of AARP's
receipt of United's notice, then the actuarial firm shall be
selected in accordance with the CPR Rules. The actuarial firm
shall be directed to reach a conclusion within 90 days of its
appointment. The recommendation of the actuarial firm shall be
binding on the parties. If the actuarial firm concludes that
United's conclusion is not reasonable, then United shall not be
entitled to cease writing new SHIP business. If the actuarial
firm concludes that United's determination is reasonable,
United shall be authorized to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 10.2(i) hereof.

AARP's sponsorship of the SHIP and the license to use the AARP Marks in
connection therewith. For each Policy Year, this allowance shall be
equal to the sum of (i) four percent of the first $1 billion in Member
Contributions plus (ii) two and one-half percent of the Member
Contributions in excess of $1 billion. This allowance shall be payable
in accordance with Section 6.7 hereof.

6.2 UNITED ADMINISTRATION CHARGES.

6.2.1 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE FEE.

(a) For all Services other than those services for which
specific reimbursement is made pursuant to this
Agreement, United shall receive a fee (the
"Administrative Service Fee") per SHIP Insured per
calendar month in amounts determined as provided in this
Section 6.2.1.

(b) On or prior to October 15, 1997, United will submit for
approval by AARP Trust its projected Administrative
Service Fees in the form of a cost accounting budget for
the provision of the Services to apply to Policy Year
1998. United's submission will be at a sufficient level
of detail for AARP Trust to understand and approve
expenses by category, substantially as reflected in
EXHIBIT 6.2.1(b) hereto. The expenses approved by AARP
Trust will constitute the Administrative Service Fees for
Policy Year 1998.

(c) On or prior to October 15, 1998, United will submit for
approval by AARP Trust its projected Administrative
Service Fees in the form of per member, per month
charges, to apply to Policy Years 1999 through 2001.
These per member, per month charges may depend on a
specific anticipated enrollment level and variables
including without limitation key levels of service, such
as member enrollment, number of claims per member and
changes in the CPI. The expenses approved by AARP Trust
will constitute the Administrative Service Fees for
Policy Year 1999 through 2001. United's submission will
be at a sufficient level of detail for AARP Trust to
understand and approve expenses by category,
substantially as reflected in EXHIBIT 6.2.1(b) hereto.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
6.2, in the event that early transfer occurs and United's
administration of the SHIP commences prior to January 1,
1998, then on or prior to October 15, 1997 United may
propose for approval by AARP Trust an administrative
budget in the form of per member, per month charges to
apply in Policy Years 1998 through 2000. United's
submission will be at a sufficient level of detail for
AARP Trust to understand and approve expenses by
category, substantially as reflected in EXHIBIT 6.2.1(b)
hereto.

6.2.2 CHANGES IN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE FEE. The parties agree to
adjust the Administrative Service Fee payable for any Policy
Year if in that Policy Year there occurs any material increase
in United's costs resulting from (i) a Change of Law, (ii) an
Event of Force Majeure, (iii) a change in the Services or any
SHIP Plan made at the request, or with the approval, of AARP or
AARP Trust, (iv) a change in the services or products provided
by any other GHIP Vendor or (v) any restructuring or
reengineering of the manner whereby the Services or any SHIP
Plan are provided; provided, that any adjustment in the
Administrative Service Fee for any Policy Year made pursuant to
this sentence shall be consistent in magnitude with the impact
on United's costs of the cause giving rise to the adjustment.
The Administrative Service Fee and each factor

contributing thereto shall, as appropriate, be calculated on an
interpolated basis to the nearest one thousandth of one percent.

6.2.3 PASS-THROUGH EXPENSES. United will provide AARP Trust with a
budget for Pass-Through Expenses pursuant to Section 3.3.2
hereof. United's budget proposal will be at sufficient level
of detail to enable AARP Trust to understand and approve
specific items. United shall be reimbursed for all
Pass-Through Expenses through a charge made in the
retrospective experience rating for the SHIP pursuant to
Section 8.3 hereof for the Policy Year in which the
Pass-Through Expense is incurred. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, AARP Trust may require that specific Pass-Through
Expenses identified in clauses (iii), (v), and (xi) of the
definition thereof be capitalized and included in Retention
over a period of years specified by AARP Trust, which shall be
no longer than that which is consistent with the expected
useful life of the item, provided, however, that the
capitalization period shall not extend beyond the term of this
Agreement. Any such Pass-Through Expenses, together with
interest at the Amortization Interest Rate, shall be charged
over the specified term in equal annual installments.

6.2.4 START-UP COSTS. AARP shall request Prudential to pay United
for any Start-Up Costs and shall authorize Prudential to pay
such Start-Up Costs. United shall provide Prudential with an
itemized statement of such Start-Up Costs for the period ending
December 31, 1996 and for each calendar quarter (or portion
thereof) through and including the Commencement Date. AARP
shall request Prudential to pay the invoiced amounts within 30
days of receipt. Any such Start-Up Costs which are either (i)
not billed to Prudential as of the Commencement Date or (ii)
billed to Prudential as of the Commencement Date but not paid
in due course shall be charged to the experience rating for the
SHIP pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, AARP Trust may require that specific Start-Up
Expenses be capitalized and included in Retention over a period
of years specified by AARP Trust, which shall be no longer than
that which is consistent with the expected useful life of the
item, provided, however, that the capitalization period shall
not extend beyond the term of this Agreement. Any such Start-Up
Cost, together with interest at the Amortization Interest Rate,
shall be charged over the specified term in equal annual
installments.

6.2.5 PERFORMANCE CHARGES. United shall be accountable for the
attainment of standards of performance described in EXHIBIT
3.2.5 hereto. If United fails to satisfy the applicable
performance standards, it shall be subject to the charges
specified in EXHIBIT 3.2.5 hereto. United shall measure
performance against these standards on a continuous basis and
shall report to AARP quarterly. As

part of the preparation of the annual accounting, United shall
prepare a report showing actual performance for the Policy Year
compared with the agreed standards, and the amount of penalty
owing (if any). United's Administrative Service Fees will be
adjusted by the amount of any charges payable for the Policy
Year. The maximum charge that shall be payable with respect to
any Policy Year will be (***) of United's
Administrative Service Fees for the year. AARP will have the
right to conduct an independent audit of United's reporting and
administration to verify the charges payable.

6.3 UNITED RISK AND PROFIT CHARGES. United shall be entitled to receive
compensation for assuming the risk associated with the SHIP. Such
compensation payable to United for a Policy Year shall equal the
product of the Compensation Percentage multiplied by the SHIP Net
Premiums for such Policy Year. The Compensation Percentage shall equal
the sum of the Basic Percentage (determined pursuant to Section 6.3.1
hereof) and the Incentive Percentage (determined pursuant to Section
6.3.2 hereof); provided, however, that in no event shall the
Compensation Percentage be less than (***) for any Policy Year.

6.3.1 BASIC PERCENTAGE. The Basic Percentage for a Policy Year
will be determined by reference to the RSF Balance Percentage
(determined as of the end of the previous Policy Year) in
accordance with the following table:

Basic Percentage
---------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FIFTH AND
POLICY POLICY POLICY POLICY FOLLOWING
YEAR YEAR YEAR YEAR POLICY YEARS
---- ---- ---- ---- ------------

(***)

BASIC PERCENTAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FIFTH AND
POLICY POLICY POLICY POLICY FOLLOWING
YEAR YEAR YEAR YEAR POLICY YEARS
---- ---- ---- ---- ------------

(***)

Coincident with any adjustment in the (***) agreed to by the
parties pursuant to (***) hereof, the foregoing table will be
realigned such that the applicable (***) for the new (***) will be
the same as the (***) for the (***) level above. The (***) shall
be interpolated to the nearest one-thousandth of (***) if
the (***) falls between any of the (***) specified in the
foregoing table.

6.3.2 INCENTIVE PERCENTAGE. The Incentive Percentage for a Policy
Year will be based on the Performance Experience for such
Policy Year in accordance with the following table:

INCENTIVE PERCENTAGE
--------------------------------------

FIRST THIRD AND
PERFORMANCE TWO FOLLOWING
EXPERIENCE POLICY YEARS POLICY YEARS
---------- ------------ ------------

(***)

The Incentive Percentage shall be interpolated to the nearest
one-thousandth of one percent if the Performance Experience
falls between the ranges specified in the foregoing table. The
Incentive Percentage applicable at any time during

a Policy Year shall be determined by reference to United's best
estimate of the year-to-date Performance Experience.

6.3.3 TAX CHANGES. The Risk and Profit Charge has been negotiated on
the basis of the federal income Tax rates and methodologies
currently applicable to United with respect to its ordinary
income. If such rates or methodologies are changed, other than
as a result of a voluntary change by United, AARP Trust or
United may propose for approval by the other, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, that the Risk and Profit
Charge set forth in this Section 6.3 be changed so as to yield
United the same rate of return as would have applied had there
been no such change in such Tax rates or methodologies.

6.4 INVESTMENT INCOME CREDITS. As a part of the retrospective experience
rating for the SHIP (as described in Section 8.3 hereof), the Retention
for the SHIP for each Policy Year shall include a credit for the amount
of United's investment income (the "Investment Income Credit") that is
deemed to be associated with the SHIP, in accordance with the following
provisions.

6.4.1 SHIP PORTFOLIO. For the purpose of determining the Investment
Income Credit, United will maintain for the SHIP separate
accounting for a distinct portfolio or portfolios of assets
(the "SHIP Portfolio") associated with the SHIP. Such assets
shall be owned by and shall remain part of the general account
of United. The assets of the SHIP Portfolio shall be credited
with investment income from the date of deposit to the date of
withdrawal.

6.4.2 CASH TRANSFERS. Cash transfers shall be made to and from the
SHIP Portfolio with respect to the following items:

(a) SHIP Net Premiums received.

(b) Claims paid.

(d) Target Retention: One-twelfth of the Target Retention,
gross to the Investment Income Credit and net of Vendor
Operating Expenses and Vendor Pass-Through Expenses, for
the Policy Year, which transfer shall be made on the
fifteenth day of each calendar month (or next following
Business Day).

(e) Annual Accounting Settlement: A transfer will be made to
reflect the difference between the Target Retention gross
to the Investment Income Credit and net of the Vendor
Operating Expenses and the Vendor Pass-Through Expenses
and the actual Retention gross to the Investment Income
Credit and net of the Vendor Operating Expenses and the
Vendor Pass-Through Expenses. The transfer identified in
the immediately preceding sentence will be made as soon
as possible after the review pursuant to Section 8.5
hereof has been completed, and will include interest
accrued at the Investment Income Credit Rate for that
Policy Year from the midpoint of the Policy Year to the
time at which the transfer occurs.

(f) Any other credits or charges made under this Agreement or
otherwise agreed to by United, AARP and AARP Trust,
including without limitation any charges made pursuant to
Section 6.4.3(c) hereof. If the credit does not result
from an identifiable cash flow item, then the cash
transfer in respect of any such item will be made at the
time the credit or charge becomes effective, or at such
other time as is agreed to by United, AARP and AARP Trust.

6.4.3 INVESTMENT INCOME CREDIT CALCULATION. The Investment Income
Credit for a given Policy Year shall be equal to the sum of the
following:

(a) the interest and dividend income earned on the assets of
the SHIP Portfolio during that Policy Year, as determined
according to the accounting principles underlying
United's statutory annual statement (the "statutory
accounting rules"), plus

(b) the capital gains and losses realized on the assets of
the SHIP Portfolio during that Policy Year, as determined
according to statutory accounting rules then in effect,
less

(c) investment management fees and corporate accounting and
other portfolio administration costs payable to United,
each in such amounts as may be agreed among the parties
from time to time.

6.4.4 INVESTMENT INCOME CREDIT RATE. The Investment Income Credit
Rate for a given Policy Year shall be calculated as follows:

(a) the amount of the Investment Income Credit for that Policy
Year, divided by

(b) the amount, determined as nearly as practicable, of the
average invested assets in the SHIP Portfolio during that
Policy Year, with appropriate adjustment for interest and
dividends received.

6.4.5 INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The funds in the SHIP Portfolio shall be
invested according to a written investment strategy. The
investment strategy shall be proposed by United, and shall be
subject to approval by AARP Trust.

6.4.6 INVESTMENT MANAGER. The investments held in the SHIP Portfolio
shall be managed by employees of United or its affiliates, or
by another investment manager or managers selected by United
and approved by AARP Trust. If at any time United and AARP
Trust shall not have agreed to any investment manager, United
may employ for this purpose any investment manager or managers
that at that time each manage at least ten percent of the
admitted invested assets of United's combined insurance
companies, or ten percent of the consolidated invested assets
of United and its affiliates (exclusive of the assets of the
SHIP Portfolio) determined as of the December 31 last preceding.

6.4.7 INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE; OWNERSHIP. United does not guarantee
the preservation of the principal amount of the assets
comprising the SHIP Portfolio, and does not guarantee the
achievement of any specific rate of return on the assets
comprising the SHIP Portfolio. United shall not impose any
investment liquidation charge in connection with the scheduled
termination of this Agreement. The SHIP Portfolio shall not
constitute an asset of AARP or AARP Trust, nor shall AARP or
AARP Trust have any interest in the income derived therefrom.

6.5 TAX-TIMING EXPENSE. United shall be compensated for the tax-timing
costs identified in EXHIBIT 6.5 hereto (collectively the "Tax-Timing
Expenses") through a charge made in the retrospective experience rating
for each of the items described in EXHIBIT 6.5 hereto. The charges
will generally be a function of United's marginal federal and state
income Tax rate for the rating period ("United's Tax Rate") and the
Investment Income Credit Rate for that period.

6.6 TAX REIMBURSEMENT.

6.6.1 IN ORDINARY COURSE. United shall be entitled to charge or
credit the retrospective experience rating for the SHIP (as
described in Section 8.3 hereof) for any costs, losses,
damages, liabilities, amounts paid in settlement, and
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees,
charges and expenses of outside attorneys and other outside
experts and advisors, but excluding any penalties or fines
except as expressly provided in clause (iv) below) incurred by

United and its affiliates with respect to the following: (i) a
Change of Law with respect to Taxes; (ii) Taxes payable by
United in respect of its receipt of the Transferred Assets (as

any Taxes arising from audit adjustment of any Tax Return of
United, including any carryover adjustments; or (iv) penalties
or fines on any Taxes to the extent caused by the action or
inaction of Prudential or any GHIP Vendor other than United, or
to the extent arising from a position taken at the direction of
or with the express consent of AARP or AARP Trust; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall entitle United to recover
more than once for any item hereunder.

6.6.2 AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS. To the extent that United's Tax Returns are
adjusted upon examination so as to eliminate, reduce, increase
or create tax timing costs for prior periods, the charges for
prior tax-timing costs shall be recalculated to be consistent
with such adjustment including any carryover adjustments. The
difference between the charge previously made and the
recalculated charge shall be reflected in the retrospective
experience rating of the SHIP (as described in Section 8.3
hereof) for the Policy Year in which such adjustment is agreed
to by United and such taxing authority. United shall notify
AARP Trust concerning the existence of any audit of its Tax
Returns having a potential impact upon the SHIP, and shall
consult with AARP Trust regarding its strategy and position
with regard to any such audit.

6.6.3 GROSS UP. United shall be entitled to make a change in the
retrospective experience rating of the SHIP (as described in
Section 8.3 hereof) for any Gross Up related to any tax
reimbursement amount to which United is entitled pursuant to
clauses (ii) and (iv) of Section 6.6.1 hereof.

6.6.4 VALUATION OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS. United shall employ a
qualified valuation expert to determine the value of the
Transferred Assets. The cost of such valuation shall
constitute a Pass-Through Expense.

6.6.5 UPON TERMINATION. In the event of a termination with a
successor carrier under Section 10.4 hereof: (i) AARP shall
cause such successor carrier to reimburse and indemnify United
for items contained in Sections 6.6.1, 6.6.2 and 6.6.3 hereof
to the extent United has been unable to recover such items
prior to termination pursuant to such Sections 6.6.1, 6.6.2 and
6.6.3; and (ii) United shall credit to the final accounting any
DAC Tax gain that results from the recording of reinsurance
premiums payable to a successor carrier at termination as
negative considerations.

6.7 PAYMENT OF ALLOWANCES AND COMPENSATION. The Vendor Operating Expenses
and Vendor Pass-Through Expenses payable to the GHIP Vendors other than
United, the SHIP Net Premiums payable to United and the allowances
payable to AARP described in this Article 6 shall be paid monthly out
of the Member Contributions actually received by the Member Services
Vendor on behalf of AARP Trust, on the tenth day of the month following
the month for which the Member Contributions apply.

6.8 REGULATORY IMPACT. In the event of the occurrence of a Change of Law
having a material cost impact upon the provision of the SHIP and
delivery of the Services by United hereunder, the parties agree
promptly and in good faith (i) to renegotiate the compensation
provisions hereof and (ii) to review the adequacy of the Member
Contributions then in effect and to revise the Member Contribution
rates and Target Loss Ratio as reasonably appropriate.

communications sent on behalf of AARP to any of such persons,
shall be submitted by United to AARP for AARP's approval in
advance of dissemination which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld with respect to any communication
required by Applicable Law.

7.3 RETURN UPON TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement and at
AARP's direction, United shall turn over to AARP and/or to any person
designated by AARP (or

required by Applicable Law) all records specified in Sections 7.1 and
7.2 hereof then in the possession or control of United or its agents,
and shall retain no such information, other than (i) Records relating
to persons who remain covered by insurance policies issued by United,
if any, (ii) records relating to claims still being processed by United
(which shall be transferred as provided in this Section 7.3 upon the
completion of such processing), (iii) Records utilized for the
purposes described in clauses (ii) through (vii) of the third sentence
of Section 7.1.1 hereof (provided such information is not directly or
indirectly identifiable to AARP, AARP Trust or any AARP member) and
(iv) Records that United is required to maintain pursuant to Applicable
Laws or for reinsurance purposes. Upon AARP's request, United shall
delete from its Records all AARP-specific information, including
without limitation AARP membership names, addresses and numbers, except
to the extent United is required to retain any such Records by
Applicable Law. AARP shall retain inspection rights as reasonably
required to verify the deletions, subject to such limitations as
reasonably required by United to maintain the confidentiality of its
business records.

7.4 UNITED MARKS AND MARKS DEVELOPED FOR THE SHIP.

7.4.1 UNITED MARKS. AARP and AARP Trust acknowledge that many of the
materials to be used in connection with the SHIP may contain
some or all of the trademarks, service marks, logos, slogans
and other intellectual property which are the property of
United and which have been duly registered or identified to
AARP by United for United's exclusive use (collectively, the
"United Marks"). AARP and AARP Trust agree that they do not
have, and by reason of this Agreement will not acquire, any
property right or rights to use such United Marks without
United's prior written consent. In the event of termination of
this Agreement, AARP and AARP Trust will not use such United
Marks without the express written consent of United. AARP, at
United's expense, will reasonably cooperate with United in
protecting, defending and registering the United Marks.

7.4.2 DEVELOPED MARKS. As used herein, "Developed Marks" means
marks, names and/or slogans which are developed by AARP, AARP
Trust and one or more GHIP Vendors to be used in conjunction
with the GHIP which do not include the United name or logo.
The Developed Marks shall be as from time to time set forth in
EXHIBIT 7.4.2 hereto. Either AARP or United may unilaterally
amend EXHIBIT 7.4.2 hereto, upon 30 days' notice to the other,
to include any new Developed ▇▇▇▇. United agrees that it has
no property or other rights in any Developed ▇▇▇▇ and in the
event of termination of this Agreement will not use the
Developed Marks without the express written consent of AARP.

7.5 SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS. United shall not give any lists, information,
data or other materials referred to in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof
(except as expressly permitted thereby or as requested by regulators
pursuant to Applicable Laws) to any person not a party to this
Agreement (other than other GHIP Vendors as contemplated hereby and the
parties referred to in Section 7.6.2(b) hereof) except another GHIP
Vendor and any direct or indirect affiliate or majority-owned
subsidiary of United without the prior written consent of AARP and
without the execution by such other GHIP Vendor or person of a security
and confidentiality agreement, drafted by and/or acceptable to AARP, to
safeguard the confidentiality of such lists, information, data or
other materials and to protect against unauthorized access to data
stores across transmission facilities. United will develop and test on
an ongoing basis disaster recovery and business resumption plans to
maintain both systems and operations to ensure that: (i) if provision
of the Services is interrupted, the Services will be resumed within 48
hours, and (ii) if the Records containing AARP membership lists,
information, data or other materials concerning AARP members that
United has in its possession be destroyed or damaged, such lists,
information and data shall be recovered by United within seven business
days. United will submit both such plans to AARP for its approval
within 90 days of the Commencement Date. United will submit updated
versions of both such plans to AARP for its approval by March 31 of
each year commencing 1998. United will test the disaster recovery plan
annually, and will test the business resumption plan biannually, and
will submit the results of such testing to AARP, commencing with 1998.

the Recipient shall have no confidentiality obligations with
respect to such information which is: (i) already known to the

7.6.2 COVENANTS.

(a) Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that from time
to time in connection with such party's obligations under
this Agreement or the other Contract Documents, such
party will be given or have access to certain Proprietary
Information. All Proprietary Information is and shall
remain exclusively the property of the party disclosing
such Proprietary Information (the "Discloser") and the
Discloser shall retain all right, title and interest
therein. The party hereto receiving such Proprietary
Information (the "Recipient") shall hold in confidence
and safeguard all such Proprietary Information and the
Recipient shall make use of any such Proprietary
Information solely for the purposes of performing its
obligations under the Contract Documents or any
Associated Agreement. Each Recipient shall use all
reasonable efforts not to disclose, reveal or communicate
any Proprietary Information to any other party except
subcontractors, consultants, auditors, reinsurers,
representatives and agents and parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, successors and assigns, and each of their
respective officers, directors and employees, who need
the information to accomplish purposes permitted by this
Agreement or the other Contract Documents and who have
been properly advised of the obligations of the Recipient
hereunder.

(b) Each party agrees to take all action reasonably necessary
or appropriate to maintain the confidentiality of the
Proprietary Information. Each party shall be responsible
for the compliance by its officers, directors, partners,

in privity with

such party with each and every provision of this Agreement
applicable to such party.

any Proprietary Information of another party or GHIP
Vendor other than as contemplated hereunder.

Proprietary Information under clause (vi) of Section
7.6.1 above, such party shall notify the Discloser of
such Proprietary Information as soon as practicable and
in any event prior to any actual disclosure taking place
so that AARP and/or the Discloser may seek an appropriate
protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the
event that such protective order or other remedy is not
obtained, the Recipient may only furnish that portion
(and only that portion) of the Proprietary Information,
which in the opinion of the Recipient's counsel, the
Recipient is legally compelled to disclose.

7.7 PROPRIETARY AND DEVELOPED SYSTEMS.

7.7.1 PROPRIETARY SYSTEMS. The entire right, title and interest in
all business systems, procedures, processes, inventions,
discoveries, improvements or other technology owned by United
as of the dated hereof or developed solely by or on behalf of
United after the date hereof other than in connection with the
Services and the SHIP (collectively, the "Proprietary Systems")
shall be owned by United.

7.7.2 DEVELOPED SYSTEMS. Subject to such rights set forth herein,
the entire right, title and interest in all business systems,
procedures, processes, inventions, discoveries, improvements or
other technology related to the SHIP or the Services and all
processes or uses relating thereto, whether or not patentable,

jointly developed by United, its contractors, one or more GHIP
Vendors and/or AARP hereunder or in connection with Services
and the SHIP, including for such purpose any otherwise
Proprietary System which is modified for use in connection with
the SHIP where the cost of such modifications is charged to the
SHIP (collectively, the "Developed Systems") shall be owned as
agreed among the parties developing the same. The Developed
Systems shall be as from time to time set forth on EXHIBIT
7.7.2 hereto. Either AARP or United unilaterally may amend
EXHIBIT 7.7.2 hereto, upon 30 days' notice to the other, to
include any new Developed System. Deletion of any Developed

both AARP and United.

ARTICLE 8
RESERVE REQUIREMENTS;
RATE STABILIZATION FUND

8.1 PURPOSE OF RESERVES. United shall establish and maintain in accordance
with Applicable Laws all reserves which United reasonably determines
are necessary to meet United's obligations under the SHIP, including
but not limited to claim reserves, Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves,
Active Life Reserves, extension-of-benefits reserves and the RSF.
Reserves established by United for the pricing and experience rating of
the SHIP shall be subject to review by an AARP Trust consulting actuary.

8.2 RATE STABILIZATION FUND. To maximize rate stability, to fulfill
risk-sharing objectives and to protect the interests of SHIP Insureds,
a rate stabilization fund (the "RSF") like that referenced in Code
section 807(c)(6) shall be established and maintained in connection
with the SHIP Plans. On or about the Commencement Date, United will
accept transfer from Prudential of the funds comprising the then
existing rate stabilization fund for the health insurance plans under
the Existing Program, which funds will initially comprise the RSF.
United will seek to maintain the RSF Balance Percentage within (***)
of the target RSF Balance Percentage determined pursuant to Section
3.3.7(d) hereof. To the extent that the RSF Balance Percentage
exceeds the applicable target RSF Balance Percentage, United shall be
required to submit to AARP Trust recommendations for reducing the
excess through premium holidays for SHIP Insureds or by other means.

8.3 EXPERIENCE RATING. Periodically, but at least annually after the end
of each Policy Year, United shall determine the retrospective
experience rating for the SHIP (including any SHIP Policy reinsured by
United, in whole or in part) in accordance with this Section 8.3.

8.3.1 EXPERIENCE RATING DEFICIT. A Policy Year results in a deficit
if for such year the SHIP Gross Premiums are less than the sum
of (i) Retention, (ii) Incurred

Claims and (iii) Incurred Premium Refunds. Any such deficit
shall be charged to the RSF; provided, however, that in no
event shall the RSF Balance be less than zero. Any deficit not
chargeable to the RSF shall be treated as a deficit
carryforward (a "Deficit Carryforward") and credited to the
Deficit Carryforward Account.

8.3.2 EXPERIENCE RATING GAIN. A Policy Year results in a gain if for
such year and for such policy, the SHIP Gross Premiums exceed
the sum of (i) Incurred Claims, (ii) Retention and (iii)
Incurred Premium Refunds. Any portion of the gain up to
(***) of the gain shall be applied to reduce the Deficit
Carryforward Account balance (but not below zero). Any
remaining portion of the gain shall be credited to the RSF.

8.4 MONTHLY REVIEW AND INTERIM ADJUSTMENT. Following the end of each
month, United shall estimate, and report to AARP, the retrospective
experience rating for the SHIP Plans reflecting the experience through
the month just ended. United may from time to time make interim Policy
Year adjustments to the RSF following the same principles described in
Section 8.3 hereof.

8.5 ANNUAL REVIEW AND RECONCILIATION. Following the end of each Policy
Year, AARP Trust and United shall perform an annual review and
reconciliation of the RSF. The review process shall determine the
actual experience of the SHIP for the Policy Year. The reconciliation
process shall compare the actual experience for the Policy Year most
recently ended with the target experience for that year, taking into
account any interim policy year RSF adjustments described in Section
8.4 hereof, and make a final adjustment to the RSF in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.3 hereof. The annual review and
reconciliation shall be completed by June 30 of the year following the
Policy Year.

8.6 DISPOSITION UPON TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement,
United shall dispose of the RSF Balance and other SHIP related reserves
as provided in Section 10.4 or 10.5 hereof, as applicable.

ARTICLE 9
INTERACTION WITH OTHER GHIP VENDORS

9.1 GENERAL. Certain services necessary for the provision of the SHIP will
be provided by the Member Services Vendor and the Sales and Marketing

liaison between United and the other GHIP Vendors.

9.2 MEMBER SERVICES VENDOR.

9.2.1 RESPONSIBILITIES. The Member Services Vendor generally will be

commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement with
the Member Services Vendor in a form approved by AARP, which

the relationship between United and the Member Services Vendor.
United shall provide AARP with a copy of the agreement
proposed to be entered into between it and the Member Services
Vendor not less than 20 Business Days prior to its proposed
execution date. AARP shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to provide comments on such proposed agreement to United within
15 Business Days of AARP's receipt thereof. The agreement
shall incorporate performance standards applicable to the
relationship between United and the Member Services Vendor
reasonably acceptable to AARP and United and insurance
requirements comparable to those applicable to United pursuant
to Section 13.6 hereof, and shall be consonant with existing
performance standards among AARP and the several GHIP Vendors.

and the Sales and Marketing Vendor not less than 20 Business
Days prior to its proposed execution date. AARP shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide comments on such
proposed agreement to United within 15 Business Days of AARP's

the several GHIP Vendors.

9.3.3 AARP APPROVAL RIGHTS. United and the Sales and Marketing
Vendor shall make available to AARP for AARP's review and
approval prior to distribution to AARP members all
communications pertaining to the SHIP. United, AARP and the
Sales and Marketing Vendor will cooperate in coordinating the
review of proposed communication materials so that any
applicable regulatory requirements and agreed-upon release
dates can be met.

9.4 VENDOR INTERACTION.

9.4.1 DEFAULTS BY OTHER GHIP VENDORS. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof to the contrary, the failure of United timely
to perform any of its obligations hereunder as a result of the
failure or refusal of any other GHIP Vendor to perform its
obligations under any Associated Agreement shall not give rise
to a breach by United of its obligations hereunder and shall
not entitle AARP and AARP Trust to receive any damages from
United hereunder (including any penalty set forth in Section
6.2.5 hereof) or expose United to any financial penalty
hereunder.

9.4.2 ACCESS TO INFORMATION.

(a) The GHIP Vendors other than United shall have the right
to inspect and audit the Records maintained by United
pertaining to the Services and the SHIP (excluding
information contained in the Claims Databases (other than
paid claim data) which is and shall remain the property
of United as a more fully provided in Article 7 hereof)
which are material to the performance by any GHIP Vendor
of its obligations relating to the GHIP; provided,
however, that the foregoing rights to audit and inspect
shall not apply to any Records relating to the
compensation of United, provided that such Records are
subject to annual independent audit, a copy of which is
timely provided to the other GHIP Vendors.

(b) AARP shall cause the Associated Agreements between it and
each GHIP Vendor to grant United the right to inspect and
audit all Records maintained by any other GHIP Vendor
pertaining to the GHIP which are material to the
performance by United of its obligations hereunder
(including without limitation Records pertaining to
satisfaction of service standards or performance
standards); provided, however, that the foregoing rights
to inspect and audit shall not apply in respect of any
Records relating to the compensation of another GHIP
Vendor, provided that such Records are subject to annual
independent audit, a copy of which audit is timely
provided to United.

(c) The rights to inspect and audit granted to any person
pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above shall be during
normal business hours, upon reasonable notice and
reasonable in scope, frequency and duration, and shall be
subject to confidentiality requirements comparable to
those of Section 7.6.2 hereof.

9.5 GOVERNANCE OF INTERVENDOR DISPUTES.

9.5.1 GENERAL. The GHIP Vendors shall in good faith attempt to
resolve any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the
GHIP, including, but not limited to, the interpretation of
agreements between GHIP Vendors (for the purposes of this
section, individually, a "Program Agreement"). In order to
resolve matters that the parties are unable to resolve in the
ordinary course of business, each Program Agreement will
incorporate the provisions of this Section 9.5.

9.5.2 VENDOR REPRESENTATIVES. Resolution of all Program Issues is
the primary responsibility of the GHIP Vendors representatives
appointed from time to time (the "Representatives"). EXHIBIT
9.5.2 hereto, shall identify a Managing

Representative (the Managing Representative) for each GHIP
Vendor. Each of the foregoing shall have authority to bind his
principal in connection with the resolution of the Program
Issue. EXHIBIT 9.5.2 hereto shall be deemed modified to
reflect any changes in the Managing Representative of any GHIP
Vendor as to which such GHIP Vendor may notify the parties
hereto from time to time.

9.5.3 INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION. By entering into a Program
Agreement, each GHIP Vendor agrees that all disagreements,
claims, controversies or disputes not resolved in the ordinary
course of business arising in connection with or under the GHIP
or any Associated Agreement (individually, a "Program Issue"
and collectively, "Program Issues") shall be resolved in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.5 and subject
to the following principles:

(a) all Program Issues shall be resolved as informally and
expeditiously as possible giving greatest consideration
to the orderly and efficient operation of the GHIP;

(b) to the extent that any Program Issue involves a matter
that may have an adverse effect on the operation of the
SHIP (such portion of the Program Issue being hereinafter
referred to as an "Operational Issue"), each affected
GHIP Vendor shall use its best efforts to remedy the
Operational Issue on a first priority basis in a manner
which preserves the orderly and efficient operation of
the GHIP on an interim and permanent basis; and

(c) each affected GHIP Vendor shall promptly inform AARP,
United and the Member Services Vendor of the existence
and nature of any Program Issue, and shall consult with
AARP, AARP Trust and the Member Services Vendor (unless
the Member Services Vendor is an affected vendor with
respect to the Program Issue) regarding the status of the
Program Issue until the same is resolved.

9.5.4 MEDIATION.

(a) Any GHIP Vendor which determines that a Program Issue
exists shall promptly provide written notice of the
Program Issue to the Managing Representative of each
other GHIP Vendor who is reasonably likely to be affected
by the Program Issue, to AARP and to the Member Services
Vendor. The Representatives of the affected GHIP Vendors
who have experience in the functional area that is the
subject of the Program Issue shall meet promptly and use
commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Program
Issue.

(b) Should the Representatives be unable to resolve the
Program Issue within ten days of the date notice is first
sent, the Program Issue shall be referred for resolution
to the Managing Representatives of the affected GHIP
Vendors.

(c) Should the Managing Representatives of the affected GHIP
Vendors be unable to resolve the Program Issue within the
next five days after the Program Issue is referred to
them, then any affected GHIP Vendor may elect by written
notice to each other affected GHIP Vendor to submit the
Program Issue to mediation in Washington, D.C. under the
CPR Model, except as expressly modified by the provisions
hereof. There shall be one mediator, who shall be
jointly selected by all the affected GHIP Vendors. In
the event the affected GHIP Vendors fail to agree on the
mediator within three days after the date notice is given
to all affected GHIP Vendors submitting the Program Issue
to mediation, the mediator shall be appointed by AARP. If
the mediator shall not have been appointed within five
days after the date notice is given to all affected GHIP
Vendors submitting the Program Issue to mediation, the
mediator shall be selected in accordance with the CPR
Model. The mediator shall be disinterested in the
subject matter of the Program Issue, shall have
appropriate qualifications and experience with respect to
mediation of business disputes, and shall possess
relevant industry expertise. The mediator shall attempt
to reconcile and mediate the positions of the affected
GHIP Vendors. If that effort does not result in
resolution of the Program Issue within ten days after the
selection of the mediator, the mediator shall render to
affected GHIP Vendors his written opinion and
recommendation for resolution within five days after the
matter was referred to mediation. If the Program Issue
has not been resolved pursuant to this clause (c) within
five days after receipt of the mediator's opinion and
recommendation, then the affected GHIP Vendors shall
submit the Program Issue to binding arbitration pursuant
to Section 9.5.5 below. Each affected GHIP Vendor shall
bear its own costs and expenses in connection with any
mediation pursuant to this Section 9.5.4. All costs and
attorneys fees incurred by the affected GHIP Vendors in
connection with any such mediation that are not
attributable to each affected GHIP Vendor individually
shall be shared equally by the affected GHIP Vendors, and
shall not be charged to the GHIP.

9.5.5 ARBITRATION.

(a) If the Program Issue has not been resolved in accordance
with Section 9.5.4(c) above within 45 days after the
dispute arises (or such

longer period as to which the parties to the dispute may
agree), then the Program Issue shall be submitted to
binding arbitration in Washington, D.C. pursuant to the
CPR Rules, except as expressly modified by the
provisions hereof. The arbitration shall be governed by
the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. SECTIONS 1-16,
notwithstanding the choice of law provision in Section
14.4 hereof. There shall be one arbitrator, who shall be
jointly selected by all the affected GHIP Vendors. In
the event the affected GHIP Vendors fail to agree on the
arbitrator within ten days after the Program Issue is
submitted to arbitration, the arbitrator shall be
appointed by AARP. If an arbitrator shall not have been
selected within 15 days after the Program Issue is
submitted to arbitration, the arbitrator shall be
selected in accordance with the CPR Rules. The
arbitrator shall be disinterested in the subject matter
of the Program Issue, shall not have been employed or
engaged at any time within the last five years by any
party to the dispute, shall have appropriate
qualifications and experience with respect to arbitration
of business disputes and shall possess relevant industry
expertise. The decision of the arbitrator shall be based
upon Applicable Law, the relevant GHIP contracts and
reliable evidence in the record of the proceedings. The
prevailing GHIP Vendor in the arbitration shall be
entitled to recover all reasonable costs incurred by such
GHIP Vendor in connection with such arbitration
proceeding, including without limitation all reasonable
attorneys' fees. In the event the arbitrator reaches a
split decision, each affected GHIP Vendor shall bear its
own costs and attorneys' fees in connection with such
arbitration, and all costs and attorneys' fees incurred
by the affected GHIP Vendors that are not attributable to
each affected GHIP Vendor shall be shared equally by the
affected GHIP Vendors.

(b) The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive
and binding upon the GHIP Vendors. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator's award in any court of
competent jurisdiction.

(c) The parties recognize that damages at law would not be an
adequate remedy for the breach of many provisions of the
Agreement and that prompt, equitable relief, prohibitory
or mandatory, may be appropriate in many circumstances.
In the event of any arbitration arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the Contract Documents, the
arbitrator is encouraged to take account of this
recognition and seek to fashion appropriate relief when
the circumstances warrant.

(d) The parties hereto consent to personal jurisdiction over
them in the federal courts of the District of Columbia in
connection with any application to

compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 9.5.5 or for
the entry of judgment upon any arbitration award.
Service of process upon any party shall be sufficient if
made in accordance with the laws of the District of
Columbia or in accordance with the notice provision of
Section 14.5 hereof.

(e) In no event shall the arbitrators in any arbitration
pursuant to this Section 9.5 be authorized (i) to award
any punitive damages or (ii) to award consequential or
special damages in excess of $35 million in the aggregate
(or such lower amount as to which the parties may agree).

9.5.6 MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) The GHIP Vendors shall continue to perform all of their
respective obligations under this Agreement and the
Program Agreements pending the final resolution of any
Program Issue, including, without limitation, during the
pendency of any mediation pursuant to Section 9.5.4(c)
hereof or any arbitration pursuant to Section 9.5.5
hereof.

(b) By mutual written agreement, the GHIP Vendors may extend
any applicable time period or waive all or any procedures
or proceedings required under Section 9.5.4(c) hereof and
commence arbitration pursuant to Section 9.5.5 hereof.

9.6 TERMINATION OF OTHER GHIP VENDORS. AARP and AARP Trust shall notify
United as soon as reasonably possible of the termination or proposed
termination of any GHIP Vendor other than United. Upon such
termination United may recover its reasonably incurred and documented
costs arising directly from such termination and the substitution of
any successor vendor as Pass-Through Expenses pursuant to the annual
budgeting process as described in Article 3 hereof. In addition, at
the request of United, AARP and AARP Trust will review any performance
standard applicable to United affected by such termination, and will
not unreasonably withhold their consent to any change thereto proposed
by United.

9.7 COMPENSATION OF OTHER GHIP VENDORS.

9.7.1 VENDOR OPERATING EXPENSES. Vendor Operating Expenses shall be
payable out of SHIP Gross Premiums to the parties entitled
thereto during the Policy Year in which such Vendor Operating
Expenses are incurred.

9.7.2 VENDOR PASS-THROUGH EXPENSES. Vendor Pass-Through Expenses
shall be payable out of SHIP Gross Premiums to the parties
entitled thereto; provided,

however, that if the RSF Balance Percentage equals or exceeds
(***), Vendor Pass-Through Expenses shall be payable during the
Policy Year in which such Vendor Pass-Through Expenses are
incurred. If the RSF Balance Percentage is less than (***) and
the parties agree that charging the Vendor Pass-Through Expenses
in a single Policy Year will have a materially adverse effect on
the SHIP or the RSF, then the specific Vendor Pass-Through
Expenses shall be capitalized over a period of time determined by
the parties. Any such Vendor Pass-Through Expenses together with
interest at the Amortization Interest Rate, shall be charged over
the specified term in equal annual installments.

ARTICLE 10
TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1 TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof
and shall continue until December 31, 2007. Not later than December
31, 2005, the parties shall notify one another as to whether they
intend to enter into negotiations with a view to extending the term of
this Agreement, entering into a new agreement providing for the
continued provision of the SHIP and related Services by United, or
terminating this Agreement.

10.2 TERMINATION. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Agreement may be terminated prior to the time set forth in Section 10.1
above for any of the following reasons:

(a) by mutual agreement of the parties;

(b) by AARP or AARP Trust with respect to United or by United with
respect to AARP or AARP Trust if the nonterminating party
becomes insolvent, assigns all or any part of its assets for
the benefit of creditors, or upon the filing of any petition in
bankruptcy, voluntarily or involuntarily;

(c) by AARP or AARP Trust with respect to United or by United with
respect to AARP or AARP Trust if the nonterminating party is in
material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and if
such breach continues for more than 90 days following the
breaching party's receipt of a written request for cure from
the nonbreaching party (for purposes of this Section 10.2(c),
United's elimination of any material provision of the SHIP or
the Services or change in any provision of the SHIP or the
Services that materially reduces the appropriateness thereof
for SHIP Insureds shall constitute a material breach, unless
consented to by AARP and AARP Trust, which consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld respecting any matter required by
Applicable Law); provided, however, that if the nonbreaching
party reasonably determines that the breaching party is taking
its best efforts to cure the breach, then the breaching party
shall be entitled to an additional 90 days within which to
effectuate such cure;

(d) by AARP or AARP Trust with respect to United or by United with
respect to AARP or AARP Trust if the nonterminating party is in
material breach of its obligations under any Associated
Agreement to which it is a party and if such breach continues
for more than 90 days following the breaching party's receipt
of a written request for cure from a nonbreaching party to such
Associated Agreement or AARP; provided, however, that if the
nonbreaching party reasonably determines that the breaching
party is taking its best efforts to cure the breach, then the
breaching party shall be entitled to an additional 90 days
within which to effectuate such cure;

(e) by any party pursuant to and as provided in Section 14.1.3
following the occurrence of an Event of Force Majeure;

(f) by AARP or AARP Trust if, in AARP's reasonable judgment, United
(i) acts in a way materially adverse to the preservation and
promotion of goodwill towards AARP and AARP Trust, or (ii)
materially fails to employ such commercial and professional
standards as will assist AARP in its goals of advancing the
education, well being and social welfare of its members and
older persons generally, and such failures continues for more
than 90 days following the receipt by United of a written
request for cure from AARP; provided, however, that if AARP
reasonably determines that United is taking its best efforts to
cure the breach, then United shall be entitled to an additional
90 days within which to effectuate such cure;

(g) by AARP or AARP Trust if United experiences a material adverse
change in its financial condition, which will be deemed to have
occurred if United's rating is downgraded below the minimum
acceptable levels established in EXHIBIT 5.1.9 hereto by both
of the two rating agencies identified therein; provided,
however, that the parties shall work to develop a plan which
satisfactorily addresses any issues related to the downgrade
and United shall have 180 days in which to effect such plan, at
the end of which period if AARP reasonably determines that
United has not satisfactorily effected such plan AARP can
terminate this Agreement upon 90 days' notice to United;

(h) by AARP or AARP Trust if United fails to consent to any
material inter-vendor interaction standards proposed by AARP
under this Agreement (or

any of the Associated Agreements) and such failures continues
for more than 90 days following United's receipt of a written
request for cure from AARP; and provided, however, that if AARP
reasonably determines that United is taking its best efforts to
cure the breach, then United shall be entitled to an additional
90 days within which to effectuate such cure; and

(i) by United as provided in Section 3.10 hereof, such termination
to be effective on the later of (i) the start of the next
Policy Year, or (ii) 180 days after the final actuarial
determination pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof.

10.3 NOTICES AND EFFORTS TO CURE. Each party shall promptly notify the
other in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in
Section 10.2 hereof affecting it. Upon any party's receipt of a
request for cure from any other party hereto as provided in Section
10.2 above, the breaching party shall use its best efforts to cure the
breach described in such notification.

10.4 TERMINATION WITH SUCCESSOR CARRIER. The parties shall have the rights
and obligations set forth in this Section 10.4 if this Agreement is
terminated and AARP and AARP Trust elect to continue to make the SHIP
available through a successor carrier.

10.4.1 TRANSFER OF SHIP PLANS. United shall transfer to any successor
carrier the SHIP Plans in effect as of the date of termination
of this Agreement. In connection therewith, United shall enter
into commercially reasonable assumption and/or indemnity
reinsurance agreements and any related administrative
agreements with the successor carrier as reasonably directed by
AARP.

10.4.2 CLAIMS LIABILITY. AARP and AARP Trust will cause any successor
carrier to accept liability (or proportional liability as
applicable) from United for all of its insurance and related
administrative obligations arising out of the SHIP (whether
arising before or after the date of termination) and for
related costs including reasonable legal fees and expenses;
provided, however, that in no event shall the successor carrier
be obligated to assume any extra-contractual liability of
United. AARP and AARP Trust will cause the successor carrier
to administer payment of claims in accordance with standards at
least equal to United's policies and practices then in effect
in administering claims under the SHIP. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, by notice to AARP and AARP Trust, United may elect
to retain liability for and handle any specific claim itself,
in which case AARP and AARP Trust will cause the successor
carrier to transmit to United all information and forms in its
possession pertaining to such claims. United will notify AARP
and AARP Trust of the amount of any payments made by it in
handling and settling any such claim or claims it elects to
handle and AARP and AARP Trust will forthwith cause United to
be reimbursed for the

amount so paid plus the amount of any expenses reasonably
incurred by United in connection with the payment (including
attorneys' fees and litigation costs). United shall indemnify
and hold AARP, AARP Trust and the successor carrier harmless
from any costs, expenses and liabilities arising out of
United's own handling of any such claims (except for liability
arising, directly or indirectly, out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of AARP or AARP Trust or the negligence or
willful misconduct of the successor carrier).

10.4.3 TRANSFER OF RESERVES.

10.4.3.1 TRANSFER OF RESERVES. On the termination date of
this Agreement, United shall transfer to the
successor carrier premium receivables relating to
the SHIP plus cash the sum of which shall be equal
to an estimate of the reserves and liabilities
attributable to the SHIP. Determination of the
premium receivables and the reserves and liabilities
including the RSF Balance shall be on a basis
consistent with the principles and practices used by
United in experience rating of the SHIP.

10.4.3.2 PROVISIONAL SETTLEMENT. On the date 180 days
following the termination date of this Agreement,
United shall prepare a provisional settlement in a
manner consistent with Section 8.5 hereof. The
provisional settlement shall include United's
charges for Termination Costs incurred by United
through the termination date. On the date of the
provisional settlement, (i) if such determination
shows that the reserves and liabilities less premium
receivables are in excess of the cash transferred by
United on the date of termination, United shall
immediately pay the difference to the successor
carrier, or (ii) if such determination shows that
the amount of cash transferred by United on the date
of termination was in excess of the reserves and
liabilities less premium receivables, the successor
carrier shall immediately pay the difference to
United. In either event, any amount so owning to
any party hereto shall include interest on such
amount calculated from the date of termination to
the date of payment at the True-Up Interest Rate.

10.4.3.3 FINAL SETTLEMENT. On the date 18 months after the
termination date of this Agreement, United shall
make a proposed final determination of such premium
receivables reserves and liabilities attributable to
the SHIP as of the date of termination. Such
determination shall be deemed to be final and
conclusive unless

AARP Trust disputes such determination by giving
United notice of such dispute within 30 days after
AARP Trust receives such determination from United.
If AARP Trust so disputes such determination, and
the parties are unable to resolve such dispute
within 30 days after notice thereof is delivered to
United, the parties will refer such dispute to an
actuarial consulting firm mutually acceptable to the
parties (the "Actuarial Consulting Firm"). Within
such time, the parties will instruct the Actuarial
Consulting Firm to resolve such dispute and provide
AARP and United written findings with respect
thereto not more than 45 days after the Actuarial
Consulting Firm receives such instruction. On the
date the determination referred to in this
subsection becomes final and conclusive (whether
because there was no dispute or because the dispute
was resolved), (i) if such final and conclusive
determination shows that the amount of the reserves
and liabilities less the premium receivables is in
excess of the corresponding amount determined for
the provisional settlement, United shall immediately
pay the difference to the successor carrier, or (ii)
if such final and conclusive determination shows
that the amount of reserves and liabilities less
premium receivables determined for the provisional
settlement was in excess of the amount of the
reserves and liabilities less premium receivables in
the final determination, the successor carrier shall
immediately pay the difference to United. In either
event, any amount so owing to any party hereto shall
include interest on such amount calculated from the
date of termination to the date of payment at the
True-Up Interest Rate.

10.4.3.4 UNSCHEDULED TERMINATION. If this Agreement
terminates on a date other than that set forth in
Section 10.1 hereof, the cash to be transferred by
United on the termination date pursuant to Section
10.4.3.1 hereof shall be adjusted by adding the
difference (whether positive or negative) between
(i) United's realizable fair market value of the
invested assets of the SHIP Portfolio, and (ii)
United's statutory carrying value (determined
without consideration of statutory unrealized
capital gains or losses) of such assets as of the
termination date (such difference is "Portfolio
Capital Gain/Loss"). The determination of amounts
to be paid pursuant to Sections 10.4.3.2 and
10.4.3.3 hereof shall be adjusted by adding to the
amount of reserves less premium receivables
determined on the provisional settlement date and
the final settlement date, respectively, the amount
of the Portfolio Capital Gain/Loss determined on
those respective dates. For this purpose,

the initial estimate of the Portfolio Capital
Gain/Loss shall be subject to true-up. AARP may
require United to use a different method to effect
the transfer, including a method involving the
transfer of the invested assets of the SHIP
Portfolio to the successor carrier in lieu of cash,
provided that the method results in the transfer of
an equivalent value by United to the successor
carrier.

10.4.3.5 VENDOR EXPENSES. All transfers determined pursuant
to this Section 10.4.3 shall be based on the
presumption that any change in the amount of Vendor
Operating Expenses or Vendor Pass-Through Expenses
from the amount used in determining the transfer
pursuant to Section 10.4.3.1 hereof has been paid
to, or by, United. If such change has not resulted
in a payment to, or by, United, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to the determination of
this Section 10.4.3 hereof properly to reflect the
actual cash flows.

10.4.3.6 BENEFITS EXPECTATION. The determination of reserves
pursuant to this Section 10.4.3 shall be based on
the expected benefits resulting from the use of
United's provider contracts and networks. Any
increase in the expected level of benefits resulting
from the unavailability of those networks to AARP
members due to termination of this Agreement shall
not be considered in the determinations made
pursuant to this Section 10.4.3.

10.4.3.7 REQUIRED RSF BALANCE. Except as otherwise provided
by this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the
parties, following final settlement pursuant to
Section 10.4.3.3 hereof, United shall have no claim
for any remaining balance in the Deficit
Carryforward Account against AARP, AARP Trust,
AARP's members, any successor to United as
underwriter of the SHIP or any subsidiary or
affiliate of any of the foregoing. (***)

10.4.4 PERMITTED PARTIAL TRANSFERS. In no event shall AARP or AARP
Trust effectuate a partial transfer of the SHIP to any
successor carrier if as a result thereof United would be
required to retain a material portion but less than all of the
insured risk within any single product line of the SHIP.

10.4.5 TRANSFER OF DATABASES. United shall transfer to the successor
carrier, at no cost, all Claims Databases then in its
possession or control (scrubbed and cleaned, in
computer-readable format), the documentation related thereto
and specified in Section 3.2.7 (b) above, and all other Records
provided to United pursuant to this Agreement in printed or
computer-readable form; provided, however, that United shall be
entitled to retain such information contained in the Claims
Databases as set forth in Section 7.3 hereof.

10.4.6 TRANSFER OF APPLICATIONS SYSTEMS. United shall transfer to the
successor carrier, at no cost, all applications systems and
related Records pertaining to or used in connection with the
SHIP or the Services, except the Proprietary Systems and those
systems, if any, which AARP has previously agreed in writing as
being excluded systems. United shall grant the successor vendor
a perpetual license, on commercially reasonable terms, to
utilize all Proprietary Software to the extent reasonably
required for the continued performance of the Services,
including the operation of the SHIP Databases and related
applications systems software. United shall cause all
purchased software required for the continued performances of
the Services and provision of the SHIP, including the operation
of the SHIP Databases and related applications systems
software, either to be the licensed to the successor vendor on
a perpetual, royalty-free basis, or will purchase and transfer
to the successor vendor at no cost replacement software
reasonably satisfactory to the successor vendor.

10.4.7 TRANSFER OF DEVELOPED SYSTEMS. United shall transfer to the
successor carrier, at no cost, all of United's right, title and
interest in and to the Developed Systems; provided, however,
that United shall retain a nonexclusive, perpetual,
royalty-free, nonassignable license to use the Developed
Systems.

10.4.8 OBLIGATIONS OF UNITED PRIOR TO TERMINATION. United shall use
its best efforts to assist in the transfer to the successor
carrier contemplated under this Section 10.4 and shall not take
any action inconsistent with its obligations under this Section
10.4 or which could reasonably be expected to hinder or delay
the transfer. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, after notice of termination has been received and
prior to the effective date of the termination, United shall
(i) dedicate, without additional compensation, appropriate and
sufficient management and other personnel to assist AARP and
the successor carrier in the transfer (including attending
meetings, providing necessary information and performing other
necessary acts and services), (ii) confer with and provide
access to AARP and the successor carrier in order to permit
such successor carrier to analyze the Services and SHIP and
on-going operations related thereto and to develop procedures
for the transfer of the Services and SHIP as contemplated under
this Section 10.4 and (iii) undertake commercially reasonable
efforts, as promptly as reasonably possible following the
request of AARP, to enter into such other agreements as
contemplated by this Section 10.4 with the successor carrier as
reasonably directed by AARP and reasonably acceptable to United
to authorize the successor carrier to manage the SHIP and
related Services and otherwise to effectuate a smooth transfer
of the SHIP to the successor carrier.

10.4.9 COOPERATION. For a period of 18 months after the termination
of this Agreement, United shall (i) cooperate fully in an
orderly transfer of the SHIP, the Services, the Databases then
in its possession, the application systems related thereto and
all other SHIP-related assets to the successor carrier, (ii)
refer to the successor carrier as promptly as practicable any
telephone calls, letters, orders, notices, requests, inquiries
and other communications relating to the SHIP and (iii) from
time to time, upon AARP's written request, execute, acknowledge
and deliver such further documents, instruments or assurances
and take such other action as AARP may reasonably request to
move, assign, convey and transfer any of the assets,
properties, rights or claims of the assets being transferred to
such successor carrier and assist in the vesting, collection or
reduction to possession of such assets, properties, rights and
claims.

10.4.10 REMOVAL OF CERTAIN UNITED MARKS. At the request of AARP,
United shall remove or cause to removed all United Marks from
all computer systems that cause the United Marks to be printed
or displayed in any medium pertaining to the GHIP.

10.5 TERMINATION WITHOUT SUCCESSOR CARRIER. The parties shall have the
rights and obligations set forth in this Section 10.5 if this Agreement
is terminated and AARP Trust elects not to continue to make the SHIP
available through a successor carrier.

10.5.1 RSF BALANCE. Following termination hereof pursuant to this
Section 10.5, United shall retain any RSF Balance for use in
connection with providing continued SHIP coverage. AARP, AARP
Trust and their authorized representatives may, for a period of
three years, inspect and audit all information in United's
possession reasonably necessary to ensure United's compliance
under this Section. Such access shall be reasonable in scope
and duration and, to the extent possible, shall be via
electronic data transfer.

10.5.2 PAYMENT. United shall pay AARP, for a period of three years
following the date of termination, an amount equal to three
percent of the gross premium revenues earned by United for each
such year, from persons insured under SHIP Plans as of the date
of termination; provided, however, that any such amount shall
be payable only if the RSF Balance (or successor reserve
account balance) at the end of the relevant year exceeds four
percent of such gross premium revenues for such year, and then
only to the extent that the payment of the royalty to AARP
would not decrease the RSF Balance (or successor reserve
account balance) to less than four percent of such gross
premium revenues for such year.

10.5.3 RATE ACTIVITY. Following termination under this Section 10.5,
United shall continue timely to notify AARP and AARP Trust as
to changes in the premiums for the SHIP Plans and other rate
related activity.

10.5.4 SALE PROHIBITED. Following termination, under this Section
10.5, United shall give AARP 90 days' prior notice of any
proposed transfer of all or any portion of the SHIP business to
another party other than through ordinary course coinsurance,
indemnity reinsurance or stop loss reinsurance arrangements.
Following termination, United may not sell or otherwise
transfer all or any portion of the SHIP business to another
party without the prior approval of AARP (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld) except to an insurer whose
ratings equal or exceed the corresponding ratings of United (i)
as of the date hereof set forth in EXHIBIT 5.1.9 hereto or (ii)
as of the date of such transfer, if lower.

10.5.5 PROVISIONAL AND FINAL SETTLEMENT. United shall prepare a final
accounting for the last full Policy Year, and any subsequent
partial Policy Year prior to termination, and shall deliver
such accounting to AARP not less than 18 months following the
termination of this Agreement. A provisional settlement shall
be made by making the requisite calculations under Article 8
hereof for the last Policy Year of this Agreement (or any
extension thereof) within six months after the end of such
Policy Year, and completing the RSF credit or withdrawal, as
the case may be, resulting therefrom. Within 18 months

following the termination of this Agreement, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to the RSF and a final settlement
made for the last Policy Year of this Agreement (or any
extension hereof).

10.6 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTIES UPON TERMINATION. Upon the
termination of this Agreement for any reason, the parties shall have
the rights and obligations set forth in this Section 10.6.

10.6.1 TERMINATION COSTS. United shall be entitled to recover its
Termination Costs as part of the final settlement pursuant to
Section 10.6.2 hereof; provided, however, that United shall not
be entitled to recover its Termination Costs (other than any
losses realized on liquidation of the SHIP Portfolio and any
Taxes payable by United with regard to the SHIP in respect of
the period ending upon the termination date of this Agreement)
if AARP or AARP Trust terminates this Agreement as a result of
a breach by United of its obligations hereunder and an
arbitrator confirms that such termination was permitted by this
Agreement except to the extent that such Costs exceed (***).

10.6.2 POST-TERMINATION REPORTS. Until United has delivered the final
accounting required pursuant to Section 10.6.2 hereof,
completed the processing and disposition of all claims for
which United retains liability following the date of
termination and paid all amounts due to AARP pursuant to
Section 10.5.2 hereof, United shall continue to provide all of
the reports that would be required to be provided pursuant to
Section 3.2.8 hereof, and AARP and AARP Trust shall continue to
have the audit and inspection rights accorded thereto pursuant
to Section 3.2.9 hereof, as if such termination had not
occurred.

10.6.3 DISPOSITION OF EMPLOYEES. United shall be compensated for all
employment related expenses arising from the termination of
this Agreement and the termination of United's employees
engaged primarily in its AARP operations, including but not
limited to COBRA, long term disability, short term disability
and severance; provided, however, that United shall not be
entitled to receive any compensation in respect of any United
employee who is offered employment by any successor employer.

ARTICLE 11
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 INFORMAL PROCEDURES. United shall follow the procedure described in
this Section 11.1 (the "Resolution Procedure") to remedy any material
failure by United to meet applicable standards set forth in the
Contract Documents or to remedy the objections of AARP or

AARP Trust to United's performance of the Services or provision of the
SHIP. The Resolution Procedure shall include United's design and
implementation of a plan, satisfactory to AARP, to reach a standard or
to remedy an objection, in as timely a manner as possible, and shall
also include the utilization of the resources reasonably needed to meet
the standard or to remedy an objection. United may suggest for
consideration by AARP and/or AARP Trust the amendment of a standard or
a timetable for meeting a standard or remedying an objection. Should
United and AARP or AARP Trust, as applicable, fail to agree on the
course of action necessary to meet or modify a standard or to remedy an
objection, the Resolution Procedure requires the retention by and at
the expense of United of a neutral expert, acceptable to AARP, to
recommend a range of options to achieve the standard or remedy the
objection. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Resolution
Procedure shall not obligate United to (i) assume or undertake any
responsibilities or obligations assigned to any other GHIP Vendor
pursuant to any Associated Agreement or otherwise, (ii) incur
substantial out-of-pocket expenses, (iii) incur substantial
indebtedness or (iv) except as expressly provided herein, institute
litigation or consent generally to service of process in any
jurisdiction.

11.2 FORMAL PROCEDURES. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, any other Contract Document or the GHIP including, but not
limited to, the interpretation, validity or breach thereof that is not
resolved pursuant to the Resolution Procedure shall be resolved in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article 11.

11.2.1 MEDIATION. If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute or
claim pursuant to the Resolution Procedure within thirty 30
days after the dispute arises (or such longer period as to
which the parties may agree) the parties shall attempt in good
faith to resolve the dispute by mediation pursuant to the CPR
Model. If the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, the
mediator shall be selected pursuant to the CPR Rules.

11.2.2 ARBITRATION. If the dispute or claim has not been resolved by
mediation within 30 days of the initiation thereof, the dispute
shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in
Washington, D.C. by a single arbitrator pursuant to the CPR
Rules or such other rules as mutually agreed upon by the
parties. The arbitrator shall be disinterested in the subject
matter of the dispute, shall not have been employed at any time
within the past five years by AARP, AARP Trust or United, shall
have appropriate qualifications and experience with respect to
arbitration of business disputes and shall possess relevant
industry expertise. The arbitration shall be governed by the
United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. SECTIONS 1-16.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

11.3 COSTS AND FEES. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys'
fees incurred in connection with mediation or arbitration.

11.4 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties recognize that damages at law would
not be an adequate remedy for the breach of many provisions of the
Agreement and that prompt, equitable relief, prohibitory or mandatory,
may be appropriate in many circumstances. In the event of any
arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
Contract Documents, the arbitrators are encouraged to take account of
this recognition and seek to fashion appropriate relief when the
circumstances warrant. When consistent herewith and in the best
interests of the AARP members and GHIP participants, the arbitrators
may fashion equitable relief in a manner that directly addresses a
breach, but allows for the continuation of this Agreement.

11.5 JURISDICTION. The parties hereto consent to personal jurisdiction over
them in the federal courts of the District of Columbia in connection
with any application to compel arbitration pursuant to this Article 11
or for the entry of judgment upon any arbitration award. Service of
process upon any party shall be sufficient if made in accordance with
the laws of the District of Columbia or in accordance with the notice
provision of Section 14.5 hereof.

11.6 LIABILITY LIMITATION. In no event shall the arbitrators in any
arbitration pursuant to Section 11.2.2 hereof be authorized to award
any punitive damages or to award consequential or special damages in
excess of $35 million in the aggregate.

ARTICLE 12
RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

12.1 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. The parties hereto are independent
contractors and are not joint venturers or partners. Neither AARP and
AARP Trust nor United are now, nor shall they become or be considered

United shall at no time and in no medium or manner state or imply that
(i) United is the agent of AARP or AARP Trust, (ii) AARP or AARP Trust
is the agent of United, (iii) AARP or AARP Trust has any

otherwise deal with any agreements or disputes on behalf of
AARP or AARP Trust. All agreements, whether written or oral,
express or implied, entered into by United in connection with
performance of the Services and the provision of the SHIP shall
not in any way bind or purport to bind AARP or AARP Trust or
any of their respective properties.

12.2.2 AARP AND AARP TRUST. Neither AARP nor AARP Trust is or shall

ARTICLE 13
INDEMNIFICATION

13.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY UNITED. United shall, at its own expense, defend,
hold harmless and indemnify AARP, AARP Trust and each of their
respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors,
trustees, employees, members, independent contractors and agents
(provided they are acting in the course of their duties with respect to
the foregoing) (each an "AARP Indemnified Party") from and against any
claims, damages (including consequential and punitive damages),
judgments, awards, settlements (consented to by United), costs and
expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, subject to
the procedures and limitations contained in Sections 13.3 and 13.4
hereof), arising, directly or indirectly, from (i) the misuse by United
or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors,
employees or agents of information provided by AARP or AARP Trust to
United, including but not limited to information concerning AARP
members and marketing and advertising materials concerning the SHIP,
(ii) the breach, negligence or willful misconduct by United with
respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Contract
Documents or under any Associated Agreement to which United is a party,
(iii) United's subcontracting any part

or all of the Services or the SHIP under Section 3.5.2 hereof, or
arising out of any other agreement between United and any other party
relating to the Services or the SHIP, (iv) any claim pertaining to the
terms of employment and benefits which are offered by United to any
person pursuant to Section 3.1.3(b)-(c) hereof, and (v) any other
matter arising out of the performance by United of the Services or
provision of the SHIP hereunder; except in each of the cases referred
to in the preceding clauses (i) through (v) to the extent that
liability therefor arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct
of an AARP Indemnified Party or (B) the action or inaction of United
(other than as relates to any insurance regulatory matter) taken at the
express direction of AARP or AARP Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
to the extent United becomes subject to an indemnification obligation
under clause (i) or (v) above other than as a result of the negligence
or willful misconduct of a United Indemnified Party, its resulting
indemnification costs (including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel) may be reimbursed through a charge made in the retrospective
experience rating for the SHIP pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof for the
Policy Year in which the obligation is incurred. Furthermore, if a
claim is asserted against United of the nature subject to
indemnification under the preceding clause (iv) for which United is
adjudicated not to be liable, then United may be reimbursed for its
costs of defending such claim (including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel) through a charge made in the retrospective experience
rating for the SHIP pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof for the Policy Year
in which the obligation is incurred.

13.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY AARP. AARP shall, at its own expense, defend, hold
harmless and indemnify United and each of its parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (provided they
are acting in the course of their duties to the foregoing) (each a

(including consequential and punitive damages), judgments, awards,
settlements (consented to by AARP), costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel subject to the procedures and
limitations contained in Sections 13.3 and 13.4 hereof), arising,
directly or indirectly, from (i) the misuse by AARP or AARP Trust or

directors, employees or agents of information provided by United to
AARP or AARP Trust, including but not limited to marketing and
advertising materials relating to the SHIP for purposes other than as
contemplated by this Agreement or any contract document, and (ii) the
breach, gross negligence or willful misconduct by AARP or AARP Trust
with respect to their respective obligations under this Agreement and
the other Contract Documents; except in each of the preceding clauses
(i) and (ii) to the extent that liability therefor arises out of (A)
the negligence or willful misconduct of a United Indemnified Party or
(B) the action or inaction of AARP or AARP Trust taken at the express
direction of United.

13.3 NOTICE; DEFENSE OF CLAIM. An indemnified party shall promptly notify
the indemnifying party in writing following the time the indemnified
party shall receive notice of any

claims occurring for which indemnification is sought. The indemnifying

due diligence and in good faith the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, that the
indemnified party shall have the right to be represented therein by
counsel of its own selection and at its own expense; and provided
further, that if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to, or
inconsistent with, those available to the indemnifying party, the
indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to
participate in the defense of such action on its own behalf at the
indemnifying party's expense. The indemnifying party shall not agree
to settle any matter without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

payment of ny such claim may be made without the indemnifying party's
consent (with the ndemnifying party remaining obligated to indemnify
the indemnified party under ection 13.1 or 13.2 hereof) if, in the
written opinion of the indemnified party's utside counsel, such claim
is meritorious.

each other and other persons identified in this Agreement shall survive
the termination of this Agreement for a period of two years.

shall contain at least the minimum limits and deductibles or
retentions as reasonably necessary for United to meet the most
stringent coverage requirements applicable to it under any
Associated Agreement to which it is a party. Except as
expressly provided in paragraph (b) below, the premiums for all
such insurance coverage shall constitute Pass-Through Expenses.

(b) United shall be able to charge as Pass-Through Expenses any
unreimbursed expenses which are within the deductibles or

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

GENERAL

Results will be reported monthly, but the standards and penalties are based on a
yearly result for all areas. All penalties and the proportion of the
Administrative Service Fee will be measured from the dates indicated below,
unless early transfer occurs in which case measurement will begin January 1,
1998.

1. CLAIMS MEMBER SERVICE FUNCTIONS

AVERAGE SPEED OF ANSWER: At least 90% of all calls by members will be
answered within 30 seconds.

Measurement: This will apply to calls transferred from the Member Services
Vendor. The Measurement period will be from the call initiation by the
Member Services Vendor until to the time a call is answered by a United
Customer Service Representative. The member will not be able to access the
IVR during this transfer. This standard will become effective on July 1,
1998.

PENALTY: (***) of the Administrative Service Fee if United fails to meet
this standard on an annualized calendar year basis.

CALL ABANDONMENT RATE: No more than 3% of calls from members.

Measurement: This will apply to calls transferred from the Member Services
Vendor. Abandoned calls are calls in which a member hangs-up before
connecting with a United Customer Service Representative.

This standard will become effective on July 1, 1998.

PENALTY: (***) of the Administrative Service Fee if United fails to meet
this standard on an annualize lender year basis.

CALL RESOLUTION: At least: (i) 50% of member calls will be finalized on
the first call, (ii) 85% of call backs will be completed within 48 hours;
and (iii) 100% of call backs will be completed within 72 hours.

Note: The manner in which United will "operationalize" AARP's new business
model results in only member calls that need access to detailed claim
information being referred

and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Exchange Act.

-8-

to United. The majority of these calls will require accessing microfilmed
information rather than information available on line. It will be necessary
to request microfilm from the Member Services Vendor that will require a 48
hour turn around time.

Measurement: A log of calls will be maintained indicating the outcome of
all transferred calls (I.E., whether resolved during call or follow-up call
placed). If United fails to meet any one of the three call resolution
standards, the penalty will be payable. This standard will become
effective on April 1, 1998.

PENALTY: (***) of the Administrative Service Fee if United fails to meet
this standard on an annualized calendar year basis.

CORRESPONDENCE: 100% of written correspondence will be replied to within 5
business days.

Measurement: A written item will be date-stamped received and measurement
will commence from the date stamped by United when it is received by
United. The elapsed time is measured as date of the response minus the
date of receipt, counting only business days. This standard will become
effective on April 1, 1998.

PENALTY: (***) of the Administrative Service Fee if United fails to meet
this standard on an annualized calendar year basis.

2. UNDERWRITING AND ISSUE FUNCTIONS

APPEALS: 100% of appeals will be resolved within 10 Business Days.

Measurement: Written and telephonic referrals will be date stamped when
received by United from the Member Services Vendor. The difference
between the receipt date and the response date (counting only Business
Days) will be the elapsed time. If a member subsequently reinquires about
the same application, that inquiry will constitute a new appeal and
measurement will be from the date of the new inquiry. This standard will
become effective on April 1, 1998.

PENALTY: (***) of the Administrative Service Fee if United fails to meet
this standard on an annualized calendar year basis.

3. CLAIMS PROCESSING FUNCTIONS

NON-ELECTRONIC CLAIM TURNAROUND TIME: At least 90% of non-electronic
claims will be processed within 10 business days of receipt by United.

Measurement: All claims will be date-stamped by United upon receipt.
Turnaround time is measured as the time elapsed from when a claim is
received until it is processed. A

*** Denotes confidential information that has been omitted from the exhibit
and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Exchange Act.

-9-

non-electronic claim is considered processed when a request for an EOB,
payment or response is generated to the Member Services Vendor. This
standard will become effective on April 1, 1998.

PENALTY: (***) of the Administrative Service Fee if United fails to meet
this standard on an annualized calendar year basis.

ELECTRONIC CLAIM TURNAROUND TIME: At least 99.5% of "clean" electronic
claims will be processed within 48 hours of receipt. 100% of "clean"
electronic claims will be processed within 72 hours of receipt.

Measurement: Turnaround time is measured as the time elapsed from when a
claim is received until it is processed. An electronic claim is considered
processed when a request for an EOB, payment or response is generated to
the Member Services Vendor. An electronic claim is considered "clean" when
information is complete and received in a readable, electronic format.
This standard will become effective on April 1, 1998.

PENALTY: (***) of the Administrative Service Fee if United fails to meet
this standard on an annualized calendar year basis.

FINANCIAL ACCURACY: 99%

Measurement: Financial accuracy will be measured on a random sample basis.
The absolute value of over and under payments will be added to calculate
total financial errors and the result will be divided by the total audited
supplemental benefits paid to derive the error rate. An audit of the
results will be conducted by a separate group to verify the randomness of
the sample, the methodology used and the result reported. AARP may
commission its own sample audit for the purposes of validating United's
measurement. If the results of AARP's audit are less than 99%, United will
develop an action plan with AARP to correct any process, procedures, or
