                                     PART II
               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

        We incorporate by reference the documents listed below:

        1.      Our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March
                30, 2000;

        2.      All our other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
                of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since December 31, 1999;

        3.      The description of our common stock that is contained in our
                registration statement on Form 8-A filed under Section 12 of the
                Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as filed with the SEC on October
                1, 1999, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose
                of updating such description.

        All documents subsequently filed by TriZetto pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be
part hereof from the date of filing of such documents, except as to any portion
of any future annual or quarterly report to stockholders or document that is not
deemed filed under such provisions. For the purposes of this registration
statement, any statement in a document incorporated by reference shall be deemed
to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in this
registration statement modifies or supersedes a statement in such document. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers
and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted
by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). We believe
that indemnification under our Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross
negligence by indemnified parties, and permits us to advance litigation expenses
in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an
undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances if it is ultimately
determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification. We
maintain liability insurance for our officers and directors.

        In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to
the DGCL, our directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of
the directors' fiduciary duty to us and our stockholders. This provision in the
Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty,
and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other
forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under the DGCL. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions
leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of
dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful
under the DGCL. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities
under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws.

        We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our
directors and officers. These agreements require us, among other things, to
indemnify them against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or
service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from actions
not taken in good faith or in a manner the indemnitee believed to be opposed to
our best interests), and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any
proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion
of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

        (a)    TriZetto hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                      (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
               10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of this registration statement
               (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
               in the information set forth in the registration statement; and

                      (iii) To include any material information with respect to
               the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such information
               in the registration statement.

               Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by these paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by TriZetto
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

               (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

        (b) TriZetto hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of TriZetto's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

        (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of TriZetto pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, TriZetto
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by TriZetto of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
TriZetto in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, TriZetto will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

        We incorporate by reference the documents listed below:

        1.      Our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March
                30, 2000;

        2.      All our other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
                of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since December 31, 1999;

        3.      The description of our common stock that is contained in our
                registration statement on Form 8-A filed under Section 12 of the
                Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as filed with the SEC on October
                1, 1999, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose
                of updating such description.

        All documents subsequently filed by TriZetto pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be
part hereof from the date of filing of such documents, except as to any portion
of any future annual or quarterly report to stockholders or document that is not
deemed filed under such provisions. For the purposes of this registration
statement, any statement in a document incorporated by reference shall be deemed
to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in this
registration statement modifies or supersedes a statement in such document. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers
and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted
by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). We believe
that indemnification under our Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross
negligence by indemnified parties, and permits us to advance litigation expenses
in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an
undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances if it is ultimately
determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification. We
maintain liability insurance for our officers and directors.

        In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to
the DGCL, our directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of
the directors' fiduciary duty to us and our stockholders. This provision in the
Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty,
and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other
forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under the DGCL. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions
leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of
dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful
under the DGCL. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities
under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws.

        We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our
directors and officers. These agreements require us, among other things, to
indemnify them against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or
service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from actions
not taken in good faith or in a manner the indemnitee believed to be opposed to
our best interests), and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any
proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion
of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

        24.1        Power of Attorney (included on signature page to the Registration
                    Statement).
ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

        (a)    TriZetto hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                      (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
               10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of this registration statement
               (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
               in the information set forth in the registration statement; and

                      (iii) To include any material information with respect to
               the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such information
               in the registration statement.

               Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by these paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by TriZetto
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

               (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

        (b) TriZetto hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of TriZetto's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
4

        (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of TriZetto pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, TriZetto
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by TriZetto of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
TriZetto in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, TriZetto will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
