Whereas, Contexture has commenced transitioning all HIE participants to an integrated HIE technology platform 
that will serve participants across both Arizona and Colorado starting in 2025 (the “HIE Technology 
Integration”); 
Whereas, the HIE Technology Integration will offer Participant improved HIE system performance and 
scalability, additional patient and clinical search functionality, more expansive EHR interoperability, improved 
patient matching and data management functionality, multi-state data reporting and analytics services, and 
HITRUST certified data security and protection systems; 
Whereas, Participant is a Data Supplier to the Arizona HIE and desires to continue supplying Data to 
Contexture’s integrated technology platform; 
Whereas, Participant’s cooperation with and assistance in the HIE Technology Integration is essential to the 
timely transfer of, and access to, Data, to the establishment of services on and configuration of new system 
interfaces to the integrated HIE platform; 
Whereas, this SOW will outline the steps required to transition Participant’s Arizona HIE connection to the new 
integrated HIE platform; 
Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, the Parties agree as follows:
