amounts paid by Plan Sponsor for all Claims during the Contract Year are less favorable, in the aggregate,
than the combined Annual Average Effective Rates and Annual Average Dispensing Fees stated in Exhibit
1, Envision shall credit Plan Sponsor with the difference. Envision shall not be liable to Plan Sponsor for
shortfalls in guaranteed Annual Average Effective Rates or Annual Average Dispensing Fees if (i) Plan
Sponsor makes a change to the Benefit Plan at any time (regardless of whether or not such change is
required by law); 00 the configuration of System edits is modified by Plan Sponsor, (iii) Plan Sponsor does
not adhere to the Formulary; or (iv) the utilization data provided by Plan Sponsor (or Plan Sponsor's agent)

change in drug utilization patterns of Covered Individuals, Plan Sponsor agrees that Envision's liability to
Plan Sponsor for shortfalls in financial guarantees, in the aggregate, for any Contract Year shall be limited
