FUNDING ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN PREMERA BLUE CROSS AND This AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into by and between Premera Blue Cross ("Health Plan") and the Group named above ("Employer"). Employer represents and Health Plan acknowledges that: Whereas, Employer offers its employees health coverage either provided by or administered by Health Plan; Whereas, Employer offers to its employees a program of employee benefits (the "Program") that includes the following: a Health Reimbursement Arrangement ("HRA") to reimburse eligible health care expenses in compliance with 105 and 106 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and applicable IRS regulations and guidance; Whereas, Employer desires Health Plan to perform certain administrative services with respect to the Program as more fully described in this Agreement and the Exhibits, and Health Plan is willing to perform those services. In consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, Employer and Health Plan agree to the terms, conditions, and limitations of this Agreement. The payment of any fees hereunder on or after the Effective Date shown below will also be deemed to constitute written acceptance of the Agreement and the Fees. Any existing group contract or agreement between the Group and us that is being replaced by this Contract is terminated when this one becomes effective. GROUP NUMBER CONTRACT EFFECTIVE DATE H.R. Brereton Barlow Chief Executive Officer Premera Blue Cross 1

1. Services: Health Plan shall provide those services described in the Exhibit(s) to this Agreement. a) Nature of Services: i) Administrative Services Only - Employer understands and agrees that Health Plan's sole function under this Agreement is to provide administrative services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Under the terms of this Agreement, Health Plan does not render investment advice, is not an "administrator" as defined in 3(16) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and is not a trustee or a fiduciary, as these terms or other analogous terms may be defined under applicable state, local, or federal law, and does not provide consulting, legal, tax or accounting advice with respect to the creation, adoption or operation of the Program or any portion thereof. ii) Discontinuance of Services Inconsistent with Role - If, based on changes in the regulations governing the Program or the interpretation of the regulations, there is a reasonable likelihood that any service being, or to be, provided under this Agreement by Health Plan could constitute a discretionary function and thereby subject Health Plan to classification as a "fiduciary" under applicable state, local, or federal law with respect to the Program, and such service could not be restructured in a manner that would not subject Health Plan to classification as a "fiduciary" under applicable state, local, or federal law, then Health Plan, upon reasonable notice to Employer may decline to thereafter provide that service. The failure to provide any such service shall not constitute a breach of Health Plan's obligations under this Agreement. iii) Compliance Responsibility - Employer is solely responsible for ensuring that the Program complies with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA and any applicable state and local laws governing the Program. For the programs listed below, the Parties also agree to abide by the Business Associate Agreement attached as hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The business associate agreement shall apply to the following: The Health Reimbursement Arrangement ("HRA") In the Business Associate Agreement, Employer shall be referred to as "Plan Sponsor" and Health Plan shall be referred to as "Claims Administrator." b) Reliance Upon Data: All services provided by Health Plan hereunder shall be based on information supplied by Employer or designee or agent of Employer (as designated by Employer). Employer acknowledges that the timely provision of accurate, consistent and complete Program Data in the format specified by Health Plan is essential to its delivery of services, and Employer is responsible for ensuring such timely and accurate data is delivered to Health Plan in Health Plan's approved format. For these purposes, "Program Data" means all data and records supplied to Health Plan, obtained by Health Plan or produced by Health Plan (based on data or records supplied to, or obtained by, Health Plan) in connection with performing the services pursuant to this Agreement. Program Data includes, but is not limited to, current participant names, addresses, status and contribution amounts. c) Data in Electronic Format: Employer agrees that administrative, contribution and recordkeeping data shall be provided by the Employer in an electronic format acceptable to Health Plan and will be updated by the Employer as Health Plan requires for proper processing. If the data is not submitted in an electronic format or if the format of the data requires additional translation, formatting or cleansing, Health Plan reserves the right to approve or refuse such submission and to charge additional data-handling fees as required. d) Reliance Upon Persons Designated by Employer: Employer will provide names and other contact information to identify persons authorized by Employer to take actions for, or provide information with respect to, the Program. Until notified of a change, Health Plan may reasonably rely upon this information and may act upon instructions received from and/or on information provided by these named persons. Health Plan has the right to assume that those persons continue to be authorized until notified otherwise. e) Customer Service: Customer Service Representatives - Customer service representatives will be available at a toll free telephone number to assist Employer and participants. Internet Services - Health Plan will provide access to the Health Plan Web site as described in paragraph 1(f) of this Agreement to allow participants and Employer to access certain account information and for participants to file claims. 2

Participant Statement of Account - Participants will have access to their accounts through Health Plan's Web site as described in paragraph 1(f) of this Agreement. f) Benefit Information Portals: (i) Participant Portal - Health Plan will provide Program participants with access to Health Plan's portal system. This system will allow online claim filing. Participants will also have online access to the following: Real-time history of claim submission and payment processing; Account management with transaction history and account balance; and Contribution data. (ii) Employer Portal - Health Plan will provide Employer and Employer's designated administrator with access to Health Plan's employer portal system. The employer portal system provides Employer with the ability to upload contributions data, generate reports, and perform other administrative functions with respect to the Program. 2. Compensation: In consideration for its services provided hereunder, Employer shall pay Health Plan or its designee in accordance with the Fee Schedule provided in Exhibit A. Health Plan may amend the schedule for services not yet rendered upon giving notice in writing under the same conditions specified in paragraph 7(c) of this Agreement. Fees are invoiced and payable monthly. The monthly invoice will include: a) Administration fees, based on the number of participants in the Program (depending on the components of the Program in which they participate) as of the first day of the month. Eligibility is based on information provided by Employer to Health Plan, and must be received by Health Plan by the 1st business day of the month. b) Additional optional services agreed upon by Employer and Health Plan. Invoices will be sent on or about the 20th day of each month. Monthly charges are based on participation as of the first day of the month and will not be adjusted for any employees who terminate during the month. All fees are due at the time they are invoiced and Employer agrees to pay all fees due within 20 days after the invoice date ("Grace Period"). As set forth in section 7, late payment may result in termination of the Agreement. 3. Use of Agents or Subcontractors: Health Plan may perform any of the services described in this Agreement through agents and subcontractors selected by Health Plan. Health Plan shall reasonably supervise any such agent or subcontractor, and the retention of agents or subcontractors shall not relieve Health Plan of its duties hereunder. 4. Health Plan not Legal Counsel: Employer understands and agrees that it shall review with its legal and/or tax counsel all documents provided to it by Health Plan and that Employer should consult such counsel on any questions concerning Employer's responsibilities under this Agreement, the Program documents, and the legal sufficiency of any documents provided by Health Plan. Employer understands that neither Health Plan nor any of Health Plan's affiliates, agents, or subcontractors are permitted to provide Employer with legal or tax advice. Employer acknowledges that it will not rely on any information provided as if it were legal or tax advice. 5. Notice of Errors: All information supplied to Employer or participant will be deemed correct if notice of transactional errors is not given to Health Plan by the participant or Employer within 90 days of issuance of any payment, confirmation, or other information. If Health Plan receives timely notice, Health Plan will use reasonable efforts to correct transactional errors. Health Plan will not be liable for damages of any kind resulting from such errors. 6. Indemnification: a) Indemnification of Health Plan: Employer shall hold harmless and indemnify Health Plan and its employees, directors, officers, agents, and subcontractors (collectively, "Health Plan Indemnitees") from and against any loss, damage, liability, claims, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to which the Health Plan Indemnitees may become subject, which result from: i) Any misrepresentation or nonfulfillment of any terms of this Agreement by Employer, a participant, or any other individual including, but not limited to, liabilities resulting from the provision of inaccurate, untimely, or incomplete information to Health Plan or the failure to provide Health Plan with clear instructions as to distributions; ii) Any failure of the Employer to provide timely and accurate Program Data; 3

iii) Any failure by Employer, a participant, or any other individual to comply with the terms of the Program; iv) Any violation by Employer, a participant, or any other individual of the requirements of applicable state, local and/or federal laws; v) The making by Health Plan of any payment based upon instructions that Health Plan reasonably believes to be authorized; and vi) Any action, conduct, or activity taken by Health Plan, or any inaction by Health Plan, at the direction of Employer, provided that Health Plan reasonably believes the direction to be valid and is not negligent in the execution of such directions. b) Indemnification of Employer: Health Plan shall hold harmless and indemnify Employer and its employees, officers, and directors from and against any loss, damage, liability, claims, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to which Employer may become subject, which are caused directly by the gross negligence or willful misconduct by Health Plan. The liability of Health Plan (and its affiliates, agents and subcontractors) hereunder, regardless of the theory or form of action, shall not exceed the aggregate of the total amount of fees paid by Employer hereunder. c) General Conditions of Indemnification: As a condition to receiving indemnification, the party seeking indemnification shall: i) Give written notice to the indemnifying party of any indemnified claim, demand or action within 15 days after it has knowledge thereof; ii) Permit the indemnifying party at its option to assume control of the defense of such claim, demand or action; iii) Give full cooperation in the investigation and defense on request; iv) Use its best efforts to mitigate the damages; and v) Not compromise or settle such claim, demand or action without the indemnifying party's written consent. 7. Duration; Termination; Successor Recordkeeper: a) Effective Date: The Effective Date shall be as defined on the Face page of this Agreement. b) Duration: This Agreement will automatically terminate one (1) year from the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier by the parties. c) Termination for Cause: Health Plan may terminate this Agreement and discontinue services immediately upon notice to Employer if: i) Employer fails to transfer funds for the Program on the terms set forth in the Exhibits and the metallic health plan signed application. Federal law requires us to take into account any contribution the Employer makes to a covered employee s Health Reimbursement Account when calculating the actuarial value of the metallic health plan. To meet the actuarial value for the metallic health plan, the Employer has agreed to make the mandatory contribution amount as stated in the metallic health plan application for each covered employee. If the Employer fails to pay the mandatory contribution amount to the Health Reimbursement Account, then the metallic health plan will also be terminated. ii) Employer fails to pay any invoice prior to the expiration of the Grace Period; or iii) Employer's agreement with Health Plan to provide or administer the health coverage is terminated or discontinued for any reason. iv) Employer offers participants any other employer-sponsored funding account in conjunction with the Program or health plans being administered by Health Plan without prior written agreement between the parties as provided for in section 12(b) of this Agreement. Employer may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days notice in the event that Employer s agreement with Health Plan to provide or administer health coverage is materially changed and services under this Agreement are no longer required. d) Run-out Period: If the Agreement is terminated, Health Plan will, for the 90-day period immediately following the date of termination ("Run-Out Period"), continue to administer claims for expenses incurred prior to the date of termination in the manner described in this Agreement. Administrative fees during the Run-Out Period shall be as indicated on Exhibit A. Upon expiration of the Run-Out Period, all obligations of Health Plan to administer claims or perform any other services under this Agreement shall cease. e) Successor Recordkeeper: Upon termination, the parties agree that Health Plan shall have no further duty or responsibility to Employer under this Agreement except as provided by the Run-out Period described in 4

paragraph 7(d) of this Agreement. However, Health Plan will use reasonable efforts to transfer all relevant non-proprietary information concerning the Program that Health Plan deems necessary for future operations, in Health Plan's standard format, to Employer or to a successor service provider. Any unforeseeable costs or expenses incurred by Health Plan in effecting this transfer shall be paid by Employer unless waived in writing by Health Plan. Employer agrees that Health Plan may charge reasonable fees for the provision of requested records or reports that Health Plan previously provided. f) Survival of Indemnification: Employer acknowledges and agrees that the indemnification provisions of paragraph 6 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 8. Notices: Any notice or other communication required under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, sent by facsimile transmission or sent by certified, registered or express mail, postage prepaid. Any such notice shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or, if sent by facsimile transmission, upon the date stated on the written confirmation received by the sender or, if mailed, three (3) days after the date of deposit in the U.S. mail, to the address shown on the Face Page of this Agreement, or such other address that is provided by one Party to the other. 9. Entire Agreement; Amendment: This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, which are specifically incorporated herein by reference contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no other agreements written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof other than those explicitly set forth herein or attached hereto. This Agreement may be amended at any time, but only when agreed to in writing by the parties. 10. Construction: In the event of a dispute regarding the meaning of any of the terms of this Agreement, the terms shall be given a reasonable construction and shall not be construed against either party on the basis of such party's participation in the preparation of the Agreement. 11. Binding Effect; No Assignment: This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives. Neither this Agreement, nor any right hereunder, may be assigned by any party without the written consent of the other parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by Health Plan to a successor entity without prior written consent of Employer. 12. Representations and Warranties: a) Health Plan makes no statutory, express, or implied representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the services or Health Plan's performance of services under the Agreement, including, without limitation, those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, which, without limiting the foregoing, are disclaimed by Health Plan. No descriptions or specifications, whether or not incorporated into the Agreement, no provision of marketing or sales materials, and no statement made by any sales representative in connection with the services shall constitute representations or warranties of any kind. b) Employer warrants that it will not use any other employer-sponsored funding account in conjunction with the Program or health plans being administered by Health Plan unless otherwise agreed to in advance by the parties in writing. 13. Headings: The headings in this Agreement are for reference only, and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. 14. Severability: If any word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, provision or section of this Agreement shall be held, declared, pronounced or rendered invalid, void, unenforceable or inoperative for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, governmental authority, statute or otherwise, such holding, declaration, pronouncement or rendering shall not adversely affect any other word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, provision or section of this Agreement, which shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and be enforced in accordance with its terms. 15. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be performed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state where the Health Plan's headquarters is located, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The forum for any legal disputes shall be limited to courts within the State of Washington, and Employer consents to the personal jurisdiction therein. 16. Third Party Beneficiaries: The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their affiliates and are not intended to confer upon any person except the parties hereto any rights or remedies of any kind. 17. Unforeseen Circumstances: Health Plan shall not be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its services under this Agreement if and to the extent such default or delay is primarily caused, directly or indirectly, by: a) Fire, flood, elements of nature or other acts of God; 5

b) Any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, terrorist actions, war, riots or civil disorders in any country; c) Any act or omission of the other party or any governmental authority; or d) Nonperformance of a third party or any similar cause beyond the reasonable control of Health Plan, including without limitation, failures or fluctuations in telecommunications or other equipment. In any such event, Health Plan shall be excused from any further performance and observance of the obligations so affected only for as long as such circumstances prevail and Health Plan continues to use reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance as soon as practicable. 18. Writing and Signature; Electronic Transactions: Unless otherwise explicitly required by law, a) Any requirement for a writing under this Agreement may be rendered in any form that can reliably reproduce an accurate physical record of the communication and authenticate the source, including but not limited to facsimile transmission, electronic mail, or Internet transmission. b) Any requirement of a signature under this Agreement may be rendered in any form clearly indicated by the signatory to be a signature or which complies with instructions directly given to the signatory as to the proper form of indicating a signature in an electronic or voice response environment. Appropriate forms include, but are not limited to, personal identification numbers rendered over the Internet, and facsimile transmissions. c) Notwithstanding a) or b), above, the recipient of any writing or signature under this Agreement may require the confirmation of any writing or signature in physical form (such as hand or typewritten or the equivalent) with a manual signature. d) Employer represents that the Program document(s) will allow for transactions to be made by electronic means. Under the Program document(s) and this Agreement together, notices, consents and other actions by or on behalf of, or with respect to, the Program, its participants and their respective beneficiaries ( Program Transactions ) may be effected, in whole or in part, by electronic means. Any Program Transactions relating to services provided under this Agreement may be initiated or effected by Employer, the Program, a participant or a beneficiary by use of Health Plan-authorized electronic means, Internet access system (including Health Plan web site) or telephone service line. Use of electronic means for Program Transactions is subject to the terms and conditions established by Health Plan and disclosed to Employer and participants, and electronic transactions shall be binding on the parties if Health Plan, acting in good faith, believes that such transactions are authorized by Employer, a participant, or beneficiary, as applicable. 19. Taxes, Fees and Assessments: The Employer will pay any and all taxes, licenses, and fees, if any, levied by any local, state, or federal authority in connection with the Program. 20. Acceptance. Signature below will constitute acceptance of this Agreement. The payment of any fees hereunder on or after the Effective Date shown below will also be deemed to constitute written acceptance of the Agreement and the Fees. 6

EXHIBIT B General Administration and Recordkeeping Services Health Plan will provide the following administrative services under this Agreement for the following funding accounts (each, a "Plan" and collectively, the "Plans"), as elected by Employer to be offered to participants under the Program: Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) 1. Enrollment and Communications: Health Plan will provide its standard enrollment kit with standard forms and notices necessary to implement and administer the Plans, all in electronic format. 2. Compliance With Applicable Governing Law: Employer is solely responsible for all Plan documents and for ensuring that the Plans comply with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and any applicable state and local laws governing the Plans. Health Plan will provide basic Plan information, such as participant counts, that is readily available on its systems to assist Employer with complying with the requirements of the Code and ERISA, but it reserves the right to charge an additional fee for extended services, as it deems appropriate. 3. Administration and Recordkeeping: a) Participant Accounts: Health Plan will establish participant accounts for each Plan participant for whom it receives complete enrollment information. Health Plan is not responsible for determining if employees are eligible under the terms of the Plans, but shall rely upon the Program Data provided by the Employer. b) Participant Files: Health Plan will maintain physical or electronic files for all participants for whom participant accounts have been established. These files will include enrollment forms and all other written correspondence and documents concerning each participant's account, and if applicable, records of any such actions conducted through the Internet or electronic means. c) Transfer of Funds: Employer agrees to establish a payroll deduction for any Health FSA or Dependent Care FSA plan offered, if applicable. In addition, Employer agrees to advance an amount necessary to fund anticipated benefit payments from the Plans by transferring funds to an account accessible by Health Plan in an amount equal to 10% of expected annual Plan contributions (4% if the Employer enrolls more than 500 Plan participants), but not less than $250, this amount to be known as the Required Minimum Funding. This advance, or initial deposit, will be made prior to the Effective Date and will be used by Health Plan to pay claims under the Plans. i) On a weekly basis, Employer will allow Health Plan to initiate transfer via ACH EFT from Employer's designated bank account the amount necessary to return the existing deposit balance to the Required Minimum Funding. In this manner, Health Plan will, each week, have available an amount equal to the Required Minimum Funding to facilitate payment of claims for the week. Employer agrees to grant Health Plan authority to issue payments for allowable expenses under the Plans. ii) As calculated on a daily basis, if current claim payments cause the existing deposit balance to fall below 10% of the Required Minimum Funding, Employer will allow Health Plan to initiate transfer via ACH EFT from Employer's designated bank account outside the schedule provided for in paragraph 3(c)(i) of this Exhibit the amount necessary to return the existing deposit balance to 50% of the Required Minimum Funding to ensure that the existing deposit balance does not fall below zero. iii) On a monthly basis, Health Plan will re-calculate the Required Minimum Funding based on the expected annual Plan contributions for all participants active at that time. If the re-calculated Required Minimum Funding exceed the previously used Required Minimum Funding by 25% or more, the Required Minimum Funding will be replaced by the new calculation. This adjustment to the Required Minimum Funding will be part of the weekly process provided for in paragraph 3(c)(i) of this Exhibit. iv) In no event will Health Plan be obligated to issue claim payments of any kind or cause debit card payments to be approved if the existing deposit balance falls to zero or below. In no event will Health Plan be required to use its own funds to issue claim payments of any kind or to cause debit card payments to be approved. v) Employer agrees that all amounts held under the Plans will be treated as general assets of the Employer in order to maintain the unfunded status of the Plans for purposes of ERISA. Employer will not communicate to participants that any particular fund or funds are dedicated exclusively for the 8

payment of Plan benefits. Accordingly, Employer agrees that Health Plan will not hold amounts received from Employer in a trust account. d) Claims Processing: i) Review of Claims - Health Plan will make initial claims determinations in accordance with standards set forth under Plan documents, applicable law, including IRS guidelines concerning eligible expenses, and Department of Labor claims procedure regulations. Employer, and not Health Plan, retains exclusive authority to decide appeals of adverse benefit determinations. ii) Payment of Claims - Health Plan will process claims within five (5) business days of the date Health Plan receives a claim request from a participant. Checks, if applicable, will be issued within two (2) scheduled weekly check payment cycles, upon receipt of claims in good order. Claims are in "good order" when the reimbursement request contains all pertinent information, including information required to substantiate the claim. iii) Plans Other Than Health FSA (if offered) - Health Plan will not reimburse a participant's claim unless the participant has sufficient funds in his/her Plan account(s) at the time the claim is submitted. If the participant does not have sufficient funds in his/her Plan account(s) at the time the claim is submitted, the reimbursement request will be held by Health Plan and processed in accordance with the time frame described in paragraph 3(d)(ii) starting with the date that such funds are available. iv) Health FSA Only (if offered) - Health Plan will reimburse a participant's claim up to the amount the participant has elected to contribute to the Health FSA for the current plan year minus any amounts previously reimbursed, whether or not the participant has sufficient funds in his or her Health FSA account at the time the claim is submitted, in accordance with IRS regulations. After an account is terminated, reimbursement will also be terminated for dates of service after the termination date and the amounts reimbursed may not match the amount elected to be contributed. v) Unsubstantiated Claims/Ineligible Expenses - If a participant is not able to substantiate a claim, the claim will be denied. If payment for an expense is advanced through the debit card and subsequently deemed ineligible for reimbursement, Health Plan will deny further access to the debit card after first going through a receipt request and substantiation process and will attempt to collect these amounts from the participant. Where Health Plan is unsuccessful, Employer will be responsible for collecting such amounts in accordance with IRS guidance. Health Plan will provide data to the Employer identifying the employees and the ineligible amounts to enable Employer to deduct an amount equal to the unsubstantiated or ineligible reimbursement from the participant's paycheck, or to add the amount to the participant's taxable wages, as allowed by applicable law. vi) Reports - Health Plan will provide Employer with the ability to produce Plan-level reports utilizing the information maintained on its recordkeeping system. Standard reports will summarize all transactions that occurred for each participant and report new enrollees within the specified time period. 4. Plan Document: Maintenance of a Plan document for the applicable Plan consistent with the Plan's operations and all legal requirements is the sole responsibility of Employer. a) Maintenance of Documents: Health Plan will provide a sample Plan document to Employer if requested. Health Plan will use reasonable efforts to provide updates to Employer in a timely manner after changes in the law and regulations. Employer will inform Health Plan of changes it desires to the Plans prior to the time Health Plan is expected to implement those changes. Any Employer-initiated changes to the Plan document(s) must be submitted to Health Plan prior to implementation to ensure that Health Plan is able to administer the provisions as drafted. b) Preparation of Amendments: The preparation of amendments, other documentation, or systems changes to implement amendments for Employer-initiated changes not due to changes in law and regulation will be billed at Health Plan's hourly service rates listed in Exhibit A. 5. Health Plan VISA Payment Card: At Employer's option, Health Plan will provide participants with a VISA debit card integrated with the participant's account. The debit card will allow the participant to access his or her account balance to pay for eligible expenses under the Plans. The debit card can be used at any eligible merchant provided the merchant has properly configured the VISA merchant code to identify itself correctly. Cardholders are subject to the terms and conditions described in the VISA cardholder agreement, which will be provided with the debit card. The payment card option may not be available with some Plan designs. 9
