Agreement

This EPI Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of 15 September 2004 (the “Effective Date”), between UBS and Perot Systems to establish the terms and conditions by which the parties will transition responsibility and authority from Perot Systems to UBS between the Effective Date and 1 January 2005 (the “Transition Date”) and thereafter through 1 January 2007 (the “Expiration Date”) for the performance of Perot Systems’ services under the EPI Agreement and to amend other agreements between the parties as necessary. These terms, conditions, and amendments are set forth below.

Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A. Capitalized terms not defined in Schedule A or otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in the Master Agreement, MOA, or EPI Agreement.

Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, (i) the terms of other agreements between the parties remain in effect, and (ii) the changes set forth in this Agreement to such other agreements take effect on the Effective Date.

I. Personnel

A. Initial Assignments. On or before the Effective Date, UBS will notify Perot Systems of its process for selecting personnel from the UBS Group and the PSC Group for Tiers 1 and 2 of the ITI organization or the IB IT production organization, being the personnel who will report directly (Tier 1) or indirectly at one remove (Tier 2) to the head of ITI or IB IT production. On or before the Transition Date, UBS will select such personnel with the advice and counsel of Perot Systems’ Operational Manager and shall notify Perot Systems of the selections.

B. Assignments at Transition Date. On the Transition Date, Perot Systems will assign (subject to the terms of the Agreed Management Principles) the responsibility to manage and direct the work (but not the responsibility to administer the employment) of all Perot Systems Personnel who are then assigned to performing Services under the EPI Agreement to teams designated and led by production management of ITI or production management of IB, and UBS will accept such responsibility. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Perot Systems shall retain the sole responsibility to select, employ, manage, supervise, and terminate Perot Systems Personnel in the roles set forth on Schedule B and UBS shall pay Perot Systems the PSC Costs for such Perot Systems Personnel through the Expiration Date or Wind-up Date as specified in Schedule B. The parties anticipate that the roles listed on Schedule B may change by mutual agreement from time to time.

C. Assignments after Transition Date. As to the Perot Systems Personnel who on the Transition Date are assigned to the ITSM project and are listed on Schedule C, as Schedule C may be amended by agreement up to the Transition Date, Perot Systems will assign (subject to the terms of the Agreed Management Principles) the responsibility to

3


 

manage and direct the work (but not the responsibility to administer the employment) of all of such Personnel to teams led by production management of ITI and production management of IB when the ITSM project expires, and UBS will accept such responsibility.

D. Hiring During Term.

1. UBS’ Involvement. After the Transition Date, Perot Systems will involve UBS in the process for appointing Perot Systems Personnel excluding those in roles listed on Schedule B in the following manner. When Perot Systems has decided to nominate a candidate, it will notify the most junior UBS Personnel in the management chain upwards from that candidate’s intended position. If Perot Systems receives an automated out-of-office email response, it will notify the next most senior person in the management chain. The UBS Personnel will have two working days to decide whether UBS desires to interview the candidate first, and no response will be deemed approval of the nomination. If the UBS Personnel responds within two working days that UBS desires to interview the candidate, UBS will have a further five days from that response to conduct the interview and decide whether to approve the nomination, provided that such five-day period shall be extended until Perot Systems makes the candidate available to UBS for an interview. Failure to notify Perot Systems in writing (including email) of a disapproval within such five-day period will be deemed approval. The above is subject to the rights of UBS under Section 6 of the MOA with respect to the Perot Systems Relationship and Operational Managers.

2. Perot Systems’ Involvement. Where one of Perot Systems Personnel is managing a blended team of Perot Systems Personnel and UBS Personnel, he or she will have rights similar to those described in Section I.D.1 above, and within the same time frames, to approve or disapprove the nomination of a member of UBS Personnel to the team.

3. Disagreements. If Perot Systems and UBS disagree on a nomination, the question will be referred to the parties’ Operational Managers and, if they cannot resolve the matter, to the dispute resolution process under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the MOA.

E. Restrictions on Transfers by Perot Systems. During the period from January 1, 2005, to September 30, 2006, Perot Systems will not, without the written consent of UBS (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), reassign within Perot Systems or its Affiliates any Perot Systems Personnel if such reassignment would: (i) violate Section 4.2(e) of the Master Agreement; or (ii) result in the total number of Perot Systems Personnel who have been reassigned in a calendar year to exceed any of the following thresholds: (A) 5% of Perot Systems Personnel; (B) 30% of the Perot Systems Personnel at a given geographic location (i.e., within a state within the United States, or within a country if outside the United States; or (C) 30% of the Perot Systems Personnel in any one discipline of IT (e.g., Sybase, UNIX administrator, desktop support, etc.). For the purposes

4


 

of calculating the thresholds, the number of Perot Systems Personnel under clauses (A), (B) and (C) above shall be determined as at the beginning of each calendar year. Any open positions created by reductions in Perot Systems Personnel through terminations for performance or for misconduct or voluntary resignations, or created by increased demand for resources by the UBS Group made in accordance with Schedule F to the EPI Agreement, as amended by Section III.B.2(g) of this Agreement, and remaining unfilled shall count against the thresholds set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above.

F. Assignment of Perot Systems Personnel

1. Perot Systems shall (on behalf of itself and other PSC Group members) comply with any Law applicable to it that relates to the assignment of Perot Systems Personnel to the UBS Group during the Transition Periods, including where applicable the obtaining of relevant authorities or permits in relation to such assignment and shall provide copies to UBS promptly and in any event within 14 days after the date of execution of this Agreement by the parties.

2. During the Transition Periods the parties mutually agree that Perot Systems Personnel who are employees or contract personnel shall remain respectively as employees and contract personnel of Perot Systems (or, if applicable, other members of the PSC Group) notwithstanding their assignment to the UBS Group during the Transition Periods and Perot Systems shall administer and continue to pay their salaries, fees, allowances and to provide their benefits during the Transition Periods.

3. During the Transition Periods Perot Systems and UBS shall comply with the Agreed Management Principles in respect of the Perot Systems Personnel as set out in Schedule D.

4. Perot Systems (on behalf of itself and other PSC Group members) shall during the Transition Periods comply with any Obligation applicable to it in respect of the Perot Systems Personnel and their appropriate representatives (including any information and consultation requirements).

5. UBS (on behalf of itself and other UBS Group members) shall during the Transition Periods comply with any Obligation applicable to it in respect of the assignment to the UBS Group of Perot Systems Personnel as third party labor (including any information and consultation requirements).

6. Perot Systems (on behalf of itself and other PSC Group members) shall not between the Effective Date and the Expiration Date without the prior written consent of UBS (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) materially alter the terms and conditions of employment or engagement (whether contractual or non-contractual) of Perot Systems Personnel, including without limitation the terms of any Severance Plan. This Section I.F.6 shall not apply to

5


 

alterations that are required by any Obligation or that apply to all or a substantial proportion of Perot Systems’ employees.

7. Subject to applicable Law Perot Systems shall (on behalf of itself and other PSC Group members), upon receipt of a reasonable written request from UBS for information in respect of Perot Systems Personnel, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Perot Systems Personnel any necessary consent under any applicable Law in connection with the provision of personnel information to UBS, and shall provide such information that is dependent on the obtaining of individual employee consent within five working days after obtaining such consent, and shall provide any other information to UBS within five working days of the request being made.

8. UBS and Perot Systems agree that in Territories where Acquired Rights Directive Law applies the date of transfer for the purposes of the Acquired Rights Directive Law (where applicable) shall be 31 December 2006 or, if earlier, the date on which the EPI Agreement terminates.

G. Hiring at Expiration.

1. The “UBS Offer Period” will run from August 31, 2006 through September 30, 2006. During the UBS Offer Period, one or more members of the UBS Group shall make offers of employment (and of contract novation in the case of contract personnel) to all Perot Systems Personnel then on the account, including such Perot Systems Personnel who have been assigned to the account after the Effective Date (subject to UBS’ approval under Section I.D.1 after the Transition Date), who are not employed in roles listed on Schedule B, and may make offers of employment or engagement to Perot Systems Personnel who are employed or engaged in roles listed on Schedule B. Such offers shall take effect as of the Expiration Date, except that any offers to Perot Systems Personnel whose roles are designated with an asterisk on Schedule B shall take effect upon completion of their responsibilities in that role but no later than the Wind-up Date. UBS shall inform Perot Systems of the substance of each offer within three days after sending the written offer letter to the Perot Systems Personnel and shall notify Perot Systems promptly of each acceptance or rejection by a recipient.

2. Except to the extent set forth in Section I.G.3, below, during the UBS Offer Period, Perot Systems (on behalf of itself and other PSC Group members) shall not make offers of employment or engagement to Perot Systems Personnel or otherwise discuss potential roles, responsibilities or compensation with such Perot Systems Personnel. Perot Systems will collaborate with UBS to maximize acceptances of offers made by UBS Group members to Perot Systems Personnel, subject to applicable law, and will not take any actions to impede or discourage UBS Group members’ attempts to hire such Perot Systems Personnel. Perot Systems shall cooperate in facilitating the UBS hiring process to the extent reasonably practicable. In the case of Perot Systems Personnel who are contract

6


 

personnel, Perot Systems (and the applicable PSC Entity) shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents and otherwise cooperate in the transfer or assignment to UBS of the contractor agreement(s).

3. Notwithstanding Section I.G.2, on or before June 30, 2006, Perot Systems may give UBS a list of Perot Systems Personnel whom Perot Systems (or the applicable PSC Entity) wishes to retain as of June 30, 2006, subject to the same limits on the quantity, location, and disciplines of such Perot Systems Personnel as those in Section I.E above on reassignments except that open positions will not count against the thresholds. Perot Systems (or the applicable PSC Entity) may make offers to retain such Personnel during the UBS Offer Period (which may result in such Perot Systems Personnel receiving simultaneous offers of employment or engagement from members of the Perot Systems Group and UBS Group during the UBS Offer Period). Successful redeployment of any Perot Systems Personnel under Section I.H.1 below will not be deemed to constitute a transfer when calculating the thresholds set out in Section I.E.

4. If the EPI Agreement terminates prior to January 1, 2007 for any reason, the dates set forth in this Section I.G for employment offers shall be adjusted to provide comparable offer periods (to the extent practicable) prior to the effective date of termination of the EPI Agreement or, if impracticable, shall be accelerated so as to compress the periods proportionally.

H. Additional Procedural Requirements

1. After September 1, 2006, UBS shall notify Perot Systems in writing within 5 working days if no offer of employment or engagement has been made to a member of Perot Systems Personnel or if an offer of employment or engagement made in accordance with Section I.G.1 above has been rejected within 5 working days of receiving such rejection, and Perot Systems will use its reasonable endeavors (taking into account its then current resourcing requirements) to redeploy the relevant Perot Systems Personnel within the PSC Group prior to the Expiration Date or (in the case of staff marked with an asterisk in Schedule B) prior to the Wind-up Date. Where Perot Systems (or the applicable PSC Entity) does not redeploy a member of Perot Systems Personnel it shall (subject to any applicable Obligation) within five working days after receiving notice from UBS in accordance with this Section I.H.1 give notice of termination of employment or engagement to the member of Perot Systems Personnel, using reasonable endeavors to achieve all such terminations by no later than December 15, 2006, or in the case of Perot Systems Personnel marked with an asterisk on Schedule B, by the Wind Up Date. If UBS does not give the required notice in accordance with this Section I.H.1 Perot Systems (or the applicable PSC Entity) may give notice of termination of employment or engagement to the relevant member of Perot Systems Personnel in accordance with any applicable Obligation.

7


 

2. In respect of Perot Systems Personnel who accept an offer of employment or an engagement with any member of the UBS Group, Perot Systems (or the applicable PSC Entity) will carry out any required termination of their Perot Systems employment or engagement using reasonable endeavours (subject to any applicable Obligation) to accomplish this by no later than December 31, 2006, or in the case of Perot Systems Personnel marked with an asterisk on Schedule B, by the Wind Up Date.

3. Perot Systems (on behalf of itself and other PSC Group members) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure that any member of Perot Systems Personnel (i) whose employment or engagement is terminated in accordance with Sections I.H.1 or I.H.2 above, and (ii) to whom a severance payment under the terms of an applicable Severance Plan is made will execute a Settlement Agreement as to such termination. Perot Systems shall not be required to offer any payments in excess of any Obligation or under the Severance Plan as part of its efforts unless UBS agrees in writing in advance to reimburse Perot Systems for the payments.

I. Terms of Employment Offers. Any employment offers made by UBS (or other members of the UBS Group) will be in accordance with this Article I and otherwise in accordance with the applicable UBS Entity’s normal employment policies. The applicable UBS Entity will offer each transitioned employee a total salary and benefits package in monetary value that is substantially comparable to or better than the total salary and benefits package received by that employee prior to the transfer.

J. Retentions After Expiration Date. The parties contemplate that certain Perot Systems Personnel will be required for account management and administration services for some time after the Expiration Date. The roles of such personnel are marked with an asterisk in Schedule B. As to such personnel who are performing such roles up to the Wind-up Date, UBS will pay the PSC Costs of such personnel in accordance with Schedule F of the EPI Agreement as though it were still in effect.

K. Other Hiring Restrictions. Section 8.10(c) of the MOA is deleted.

L. Indemnities.

1. Perot Systems will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the UBS Group against all Liabilities in any of the Territories arising out of or in connection with:

2. UBS will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the PSC Group against all Liabilities in any of the Territories arising out of or in connection with:

2.1 any claim by Perot Systems Personnel directly related to the reorganization of the management and team structures applicable to the provision of the Services by UBS in the period prior to the Expiration Date, including any claim of illegal discrimination, constructive termination, or unjust dismissal, save as such claim may result from actions by the PSC Group which do not accord with the Agreed Management Principles or this Agreement;

9


 

UBS will not be obligated under this paragraph 2.2 to reimburse any member of the PSC Group for payments due under any Severance Plan or otherwise in excess of an Obligation for any Perot Systems Personnel who do not accept an offer of employment or engagement extended by UBS or by Perot Systems or for any Liability arising from any failure of the PSC Group to comply with an Obligation in respect of a termination carried out pursuant to Sections I. H. 1 or I. H. 2;

2.3 any failure to make an offer of employment in accordance with this Agreement or any claim that an offer of employment or a failure to offer employment by a UBS Group member during the UBS Offer Period was a breach of a relevant Obligation;

2.7 any act or omission (other than those addressed in Sections L.2 2.1 through L.2.2.6 preceding) by any UBS Group member or any UBS Personnel in relation to any Perot Systems Personnel or any UBS Personnel during the Transition Periods, save where such act or omission was in accordance with the Agreed Management Principles or otherwise done (or not done) at the request of or on the instruction of a member of the Perot Systems Account Leadership Team as described in Schedule B.2..

M. Subcontracting. Perot Systems may subcontract its obligations to perform Services under this Agreement and the EPI Agreement, other than to its Affiliates, only in accordance with the following:

1. After the Effective Date, PSC Group members may neither enter into subcontracts (which for purposes of this Agreement do not include agreements with individual contract personnel) for, or in support of, portions of the Services,

10


 

nor amend or renew such subcontracts, without the prior written approval of UBS, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. UBS shall have the right to revoke its prior approval of a subcontractor upon 10 days’ written notice to Perot Systems and direct Perot Systems to replace such subcontractor if the subcontractor’s performance is materially deficient, good faith doubts exist concerning the subcontractor’s ability to render future performance because of changes in the subcontractor’s ownership, management, financial condition, or otherwise, or there have been material misrepresentations by or concerning the subcontractor, provided that if UBS directs Perot Systems to replace a subcontractor whose subcontract is already in effect on the Effective Date, UBS shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the PSC Group from any claims by such subcontractor arising from or related to its replacement.

2. Perot Systems shall remain responsible for obligations, services and functions performed by subcontractors to the same extent as if such obligations, services and functions were performed by Perot Systems employees and for purposes of this Agreement such work shall be deemed work performed by Perot Systems. Perot Systems shall be UBS’s sole point of contact regarding the Services, including with respect to payment. Perot Systems (on behalf of itself and other PSC Group members)_shall not disclose UBS Confidential Information to a subcontractor unless and until such subcontractor has agreed in writing to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in a manner substantially equivalent to that required of Perot Systems under this Agreement.

II. Operations.

This Article II (“Operations”) takes effect on the Transition Date.

A. Services. Perot Systems warrants that the Perot Systems Personnel will have appropriate skills and experience and will work diligently. Perot Systems also warrants that it will promptly take reasonable steps to hire replacements (that have appropriate skills and experience to perform the Services) for any of the Perot Systems Personnel who resign or are terminated other than with the approval of UBS and to hire personnel to fulfil UBS’ reasonable requirements pursuant to the forecasting process in Schedule F of the EPI Agreement for numbers and types of skills. The remedy for any breach of this warranty is subject to the limitations on liability in the MOA and EPI Agreement. In addition to the disclaimer of warranties in Section 10.8 of the MOA, commencing on the Transition Date and for periods thereafter only, Perot Systems disclaims all other warranties of its services under the EPI Agreement, express or implied, and in particular disclaims any express warranty of performing in accordance with particular service levels, metrics, or performance indicators; provided, however, that the Performance Metrics in the EPI Agreement (including application of the Penalty Pool and Reward Pool under Schedule G thereto) shall continue to apply to calendar year 2004, with emphasis on performance on the fourth calendar quarter of 2004.

B. Security Section 3.4 of the MOA is amended to state as follows:

11


 

“Security Procedures.

“UBS is responsible for developing, maintaining, updating, and providing to Perot Systems the Security Procedures. Perot Systems will promptly notify Perot Systems Personnel of the Security Procedures as received from UBS. Perot Systems will, and will cause Perot Systems Personnel identified in Schedule B.2 to, comply, with respect to Services provided to UBS, with the Security Procedures with which it has been provided by the applicable UBS AG Entity to the extent that those Security Procedures are no more rigorous than similar security procedures applicable to UBS; provided that Perot Systems will be liable only for material breaches of such Security Procedures that shall have been committed, or directed, by Perot Systems Personnel listed on Schedule B.2. Perot Systems will: a) provide notice to UBS of any instances of non-compliance with the Security Procedures by any Perot Systems Personnel that come to the attention of any Perot Systems Personnel listed on Schedule B.2, as that Schedule may be revised from time to time by mutual agreement; b) assist in promptly resolving any violation of security procedures by Perot Systems Personnel as directed by UBS; and c) remove from the account any Perot Systems Personnel who shall have committed a material breach of such Security Procedures. If relevant in such case, Perot Systems shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any severance payments for such Perot Systems Personnel.”

C. Safeguarding SBC Data. Section 5.2 of the MOA is amended to state as follows:

“Safeguarding SBC Data. With respect to, and under the terms and conditions of, each EPI Agreement, the applicable PSC Entity will instruct its employees and contract personnel to comply with safeguards established and maintained by SBC against the destruction, loss or alteration of SBC Data. In the event that additional safeguards for SBC Data are reasonably requested by the SBC Entity, the applicable PSC Entity will instruct its employees and contract personnel to comply with those additional safeguards. An SBC Entity will have the right to establish backup security for data and to keep backup data and data files in its possession if it so chooses.”

D. Safeguarding PSC Data. UBS acknowledges that under the agreements between the parties Perot Systems was authorized to and did store Confidential Information of Perot Systems Group members on Equipment and Systems which after the Transition Date the UBS Group will control, and that it is infeasible for the parties to segregate and remove such Confidential Information of Perot Systems Group members from such Equipment and Systems. Accordingly, UBS agrees to treat such Confidential Information of Perot Systems in accordance with Article 9 of the MOA and that this obligation will (as with all obligations of either party with respect to Confidential Information) survive the Expiration Date.

12


 

E. Physical Security for Facilities. Section 5.3 of the MOA is amended to state as follows:

“Physical Security for Facilities. With respect to, and under the terms and conditions of, each EPI Agreement, the applicable PSC Entity (including those Perot Systems Personnel listed on Schedule B.2) will instruct Perot Systems Personnel and its subcontractors to comply with all reasonably required security procedures at any place where Services are performed by that PSC Entity. The applicable SBC Entity will provide all necessary security personnel and security equipment at the SBC Facilities. Perot Systems Personnel and its subcontractors will be instructed to comply with the reasonable physical security procedures of members of the SBC Group with respect to access to any SBC Facilities, data and data files.”

F. Disaster Recovery/Viruses. Perot Systems will not be responsible for maintaining a disaster recovery capability for UBS’s operations or for crisis management unless contracted to Perot Systems as a “Preferred Vendor” under the GFA and then only in accordance with the provisions of the GFA. Sections 5.5, and 6.4 of the MOA are deleted. Perot Systems’ obligations under Section 5.7 (“Viruses”) of the MOA apply only to any System it controls.

G. Third-Party Contracts. UBS shall be responsible for managing all Third Party Service Contracts. Section 4.8 of the MOA is deleted.

H. Data Protection. Perot Systems warrants to UBS that during the term of this Agreement:

It will perform its obligations hereunder in compliance with any laws and regulations applicable to it in performing Services. In this Section II.H “laws and regulations” means:

(i)   any laws or regulations, including data protection and privacy legislation from any national, state, provincial or federal government, local government, any institution of the European Union or any other body having power to require compliance with the regulation concerned
 
(ii)   any rules or guidelines issued by any financial or other regulator (whether established by legislation or otherwise) having jurisdiction over UBS in any relevant territory, and
 
(iii)   all applicable technical, safety or other standards which are referred to in this Agreement.

III. Finance

A. Annual Profit Amount.

2004. The Annual Profit Amount for 2004 shall be subject to adjustment based on the provisions of the EPI Agreement relating to the Performance Metrics (including Section 6(d) of Schedule F and all of Schedule G thereto), which shall remain in effect and apply to calendar year 2004; provided however, that the maximum Penalty Amount is set as

13


 

3.25%, and the Reward Amount is set at zero (0%). UBS’ final assessment of any adjustment for 2004 will place emphasis on performance against the Performance Metrics in the fourth calendar quarter of 2004.

The terms set off in quotation marks are defined below.

(b) If the Qualifying Revenues are less than the “Revenue Floor” for that year, UBS will also pay Perot Systems the shortfall between the Qualifying Revenues and 100% of the Revenue Floor. Any such shortfall will be deemed PSC Costs and will be invoiced and paid in accordance with Schedule F to the EPI Agreement, as amended by this Agreement.

(II) converting the amount from clause (A)(I) to local currencies using the December 31, 2003, FX spot rates;

(III) converting the amounts from clause (A)(II) to USD using the December 31, 2004, FX spot rates;

(I) determining the amount that is 95% of Qualifying Revenues for 2005 as reported to UBS, plus any 2005 Shortfall owed and paid under Section III B 2 (b) using the spot FX rates at December 31, 2004;

(II) converting the amount from clause (B)(I) to local currencies using the December 31, 2004, FX spot rates;

(g) Appendix 1 to Schedule F to the EPI Agreement is amended by replacing it with the following:

“1. On the third working day of each month, UBS may provide Perot Systems with details of the resources to be supplied by Perot Systems for the following 12 months.

2. On the ninth working day of that month Perot Systems will provide a financial forecast by month for the 12-month period (taking into account reasonable periods of time to fill the requested resources).

3. Perot Systems may decline to provide Perot Systems Personnel outside the geographic locations (See I.E above) at which Perot Systems is providing Services for UBS as of the Effective Date, or who are requested for the performance of work outside the definition of Services. In addition, if Perot Systems can show to UBS’ reasonable satisfaction that certain requested resources are beyond the ability of Perot Systems to recruit in the relevant labor market with all commercially reasonable efforts within the requested time, UBS shall allow Perot Systems a reasonable amount of additional time.

4. On the 12th working day of the first month of each calendar quarter, the parties will review and agree on the resourcing schedule and financial forecast (the “PSC Costs Budget”).

5. If Perot Systems cannot meet all or part of the resource requirement within three months after receiving the request, UBS may withdraw the request and the Revenue Floor and Revenue Forecast for that year may, at UBS’ discretion, be adjusted. The adjustment to the Revenue Floor and Revenue Forecast can only be made on an individual basis and would be computed on the cost of the individual position requested by UBS that Perot Systems failed to provide.”

6. PSC will allocate the budget over the total number of months in that Budget Period (the “Monthly Run Rate”) by considering the month in which the various PSC Costs will be incurred by PSC and allocate the Annual Profit Amount on a pro-rata basis.

16


 

Consistent with the above, Section 1(e) of Schedule F to the EPI Agreement is modified to read: “PSC Costs Budget” has the meaning provided in Section 4 of Appendix 1 to Schedule F to the EPI Agreement.

3. Section 4.4 of the Master Agreement (“Certain Events; Change of Circumstances”), Section 2.4 of the MOA (“Major Changes”), and Sections 3.3(b), 3.3(c) and 3.7 of Amendment No. 1 to the EPI Agreement (“New PSC Market Data Services Agreements”) are deleted. Except to the extent inconsistent with the exercise of either party’s rights or obligations pursuant to Article I, Section 11.3 of the MOA shall continue to apply to this Agreement. The last sentence of Section 4.6 of the Master Agreement shall not apply after September 30, 2006.

4. For the avoidance of doubt, severance costs incurred by Perot Systems in conformance to this EPI Transition Agreement, in the absence of claims which would implicate the indemnification provisions herein, may be invoiced as “PSC Costs” chargeable to UBS.

C. Transition Bonus. If 80% of the Perot Systems Personnel to whom members of the UBS Group make written offers of employment on or about August 31, 2006, together with any Perot Systems Personnel whose employment is transferred to a UBS Group member by operation of law, accept such offers or have their employment so transferred, then UBS will pay Perot Systems a bonus of $2,000,000 within 30 days after the Expiration Date. For every additional 1% (rounded to the nearest %) of such Personnel who accept such offers or have their employment so transferred on or before the Expiration Date (or on or before the Wind-up Date, in the case of Perot Systems Personnel whose roles are marked with an asterisk on Schedule B), up to a total of 95%, UBS will pay Perot Systems an additional $66,667 within 30 days after the Expiration Date (and, as to any additional bonus earned for Perot Systems Personnel whose roles are marked with an asterisk on Schedule B, within 30 days after the Wind-up Date). UBS will notify Perot Systems of the identities of Perot Systems Personnel who have accepted and rejected such offers and of those whose employment has been so transferred. Any such person who accepts an offer from a UBS Group Member but later (prior to the Expiration Date) rejects or revokes such acceptance shall not be considered to have accepted the UBS Group Member’s offer of employment for purposes of this paragraph.

D. Insurance. Section 5(j) of the EPI Agreement is amended to state as follows:

“Perot Systems will use all reasonable efforts to maintain Computer Services Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance with a limit of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) per claim and aggregate. UBS and Perot Systems may periodically determine whether these limits should be adjusted to take into account the effects of inflation. Fifteen percent of the policy premium will be a PSC Cost. If another client of Perot Systems makes a claim against this policy which if upheld would materially reduce the amount of insurance coverage available for claims by UBS,

17


 

Perot Systems will notify UBS and UBS would have the option to instruct Perot Systems to use reasonable efforts with all due diligence to increase the remaining coverage to $100,000,000 until the claim is resolved or the availability of the full $100,000,000 of coverage is otherwise restored by policy renewal or otherwise. The cost of exercising the option would be a PSC Cost.”

E. Existing Tax Assets. Section 8 (“Tax Credit”) of Schedule F to the EPI Agreement is deleted.

F. Incentive-Based Compensation. Perot Systems will continue to administer its incentive-based compensation program for Perot Systems Personnel for their performance during 2004, 2005, and 2006 and UBS will continue to participate pursuant to Section 5(h) of the EPI Agreement. As to the program for 2006, on or before March 1, 2007, UBS will make the incentive payments designated by Perot Systems for former Perot Systems Personnel who have become UBS Personnel directly to such personnel, and at the same time will pay the amount of the incentive payments designated for other former Perot Systems Personnel to Perot Systems, and Perot Systems will make such incentive payments itself.

IV. Services

A. Services; Projects.

1. The definition of “Scope of Services” in Section 3(g) of the EPI Agreement is deleted.

2. The definition of “Services” in Section 3(i) of the EPI Agreement, Section 1.7 of Amendment No. 1 to the EPI Agreement and Section 1.1(ai) of the MOA are each amended to state as follows:

3. Sections 5(a), (b) and (f) of the EPI Agreement are revised to state as follows:

(a) PSC will make available to SBC Entities, for their use in accordance with Article IV of the Master Operating Agreement, any PSC Systems used by PSC in providing the Services.

18


 

(b) PSC will provide the Services (including by using all commercially reasonable efforts for making available in a timely fashion qualified Perot Systems Personnel to perform, and to respond to SBC’s reasonable requests for, Services) (i) contemplated by the PSC Costs Budget (as such term is defined in Schedule F hereto) and, where applicable, will use reasonable efforts to meet any service levels mutually established for those Services or (ii) for which SBC agrees to otherwise pay PSC in accordance with Schedule F hereto. It is the sole responsibility of SBC to manage and prioritize the Services and to ensure that the Budget is sufficient for the desired Services. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything else in this EPI Agreement to the contrary, SBC will pay PSC in accordance with Schedule F, including the quarterly adjustment provisions thereof, for any Services provided by PSC to SBC whether the amounts for those Services are or are not included in a PSC Costs Budget. Subject to the foregoing, PSC agrees that it will abide by any cost approval processes of which PSC may receive notice from SBC from time to time within a reasonable period of time after receipt thereof.

(f) PSC will timely provide SBC with a quarterly performance report, in a form and with content mutually established by the parties.

“(2) The members of the PSC Group agree that the Licensed SBC Systems are the valuable property of one or more members of the SBC Group, that violation in any material respect of any provision of this Section 4.1 would cause the members of the SBC Group irreparable injury for which they would have no adequate remedy at law and, in addition to any and all other remedies or rights the members of the SBC Group may have at law or in equity, the members of the SBC Group will be entitled to preliminary and other injunctive relief against any such violation.

PSC Parent will use all commercially reasonable efforts to identify on Schedule E within a reasonable time after the Transition Date, and obtain, any third party consents necessary for members of the SBC Group to use such PSC Systems, or portions thereof, as contemplated by the preceding sentence.

(2) With respect to each EPI Agreement, subject to limitations on PSC Parent’s rights to sublicense under any license agreement for a PSC System licensed to PSC Parent by a third party, PSC Parent hereby grants to SBC Parent, effective at the termination of that EPI Agreement, a perpetual, nontransferable, nonexclusive, paid up, royalty free license to access, use, copy, display, operate, maintain, support, modify, enhance and prepare derivative works of all Licensed PSC Programs (as defined below). A “Licensed PSC Program” is any PSC System (in both source code and object code form) that: (i) is being used by the applicable PSC Entity in providing the Services at the termination of the applicable EPI Agreement; (ii) was developed under the applicable EPI Agreement; or (iii) was introduced by the applicable PSC Entity into the information technology environment of any SBC Group member in connection with the provision of Services and is being used in the information technology environment of any SBC Group member at the termination of the applicable EPI Agreement.

The licenses granted in paragraphs (1) and (2) above shall include the right for third party vendors providing services to any SBC Entity to use such PSC Systems as described above for the sole benefit of the SBC Group. UBS agrees as follows with respect to such PSC Systems:

(a) Except with the prior written consent of PSC Parent or to the extent required by natural disaster or similar emergency, the PSC Systems will not be operated, directly or indirectly, (i) by persons other than employees or contract personnel of SBC Entities or a third party vendor providing services to any SBC Entity, or (ii) on equipment that is not under the control of any SBC Entity or a third party vendor providing services to any SBC Entity.

(b) Except with the prior written consent of PSC Parent, the PSC Systems may only be used for the internal operations of SBC Entities.

(c) SBC Entities will keep the PSC Systems confidential, will not at any time allow the PSC Systems, or any of the various components thereof or any modifications thereto, to be disclosed to third parties (except to contract personnel or third party vendors as permitted herein), sold, assigned, leased or commercially exploited or marketed in any way, with or without charge, by the SBC Entity or its employees or agents.

25


 

(d) SBC Entities agree that the PSC Systems are the valuable property of PSC Parent, that violation in any material respect of any provision of this Section 4.3 would cause PSC Parent irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law, and, in addition to any and all other remedies or rights PSC Parent may have at law or in equity, PSC Parent will be entitled to preliminary and other injunctive relief against any such violation.”

D. Rights in Other Materials.

1. With respect to Other Materials (as defined below) developed by any PSC Group member for any UBS Group member as part of the Services before the Effective Date, such Other Materials will be and remain the property of Perot Systems (the “PSC Other Materials”), and the members of the UBS Group will have no rights or interests therein except as described herein. Perot Systems hereby grants to UBS a perpetual, nontransferable, nonexclusive, paid up, royalty free license to use, copy, display, modify, enhance and prepare derivative works of the PSC Other Materials, subject to any limitations on PSC Parent’s rights in PSC Other Materials due to rights of third parties. Perot Systems will use all commercially reasonable efforts to identify on Schedule E within a reasonable time after the Transition Date, and obtain, any third party consents necessary for members of the UBS Group to use, copy, display, modify, enhance, and prepare derivative works of the PSC Other Materials as contemplated by the preceding sentence. Such license shall include the right for third party vendors providing services to any UBS Entity to use the PSC Other Materials as described above for the sole benefit of the SBC Group. UBS agrees as follows with respect to the PSC Other Materials:

a. Except with the prior written consent of Perot Systems or to the extent required by natural disaster or similar emergency, the PSC Other Materials will not be used, directly or indirectly, by persons other than employees or contract personnel of UBS Entities or a third party vendor providing services to any UBS Entity.

b. Except with the prior written consent of Perot Systems, the PSC Other Materials may only be used for the internal operations of UBS Entities.

c. UBS Entities will keep the PSC Other Materials confidential, will not at any time allow the PSC Other Materials to be disclosed to third parties (except to contract personnel or third party vendors as permitted herein), sold, assigned, leased or commercially exploited or marketed in any way, with or without charge, by the UBS Entity or its employees or agents.

d. UBS Entities agree that the PSC Other Materials are the valuable property of Perot Systems, that violation in any material respect of any provision of this Section V.D.1 would cause Perot Systems irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law, and, in addition to any

26


 

and all other remedies or rights Perot Systems may have at law or in equity, Perot Systems will be entitled to preliminary and other injunctive relief against any such violation.

2. UBS shall own all intellectual property rights in and to any Other Material developed by any PSC Group member for any UBS Group member under the EPI Agreement on or after the Effective Date.

E. No Effect on Other Licenses. The provisions of this Section V shall not be construed to degrade or reduce any licenses or other intellectual property rights specifically granted by a party (or any of its Affiliates) to the other party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to particular, identified software or other materials under separate agreements (i.e., outside of this Agreement, the MOA and EPI Agreement) entered into between the parties.

For the avoidance of doubt, UBS may in its sole discretion select which (and how many) of the Preferred Vendors (or other suppliers) will receive a given RFI or RPP. Section 3.2 of the MPA is hereby deleted.

C. Relationships with Competitors of the Other Party. Section 4.3 of the Master Agreement is hereby deleted.
