Further, Provider shall provide the Termination Assistance Services in accordance with this Section 18.5 even in the event of Customer’s material breach, including an uncured payment default, with or without an attendant termination for cause by Provider, so long as Customer pays Provider for the Termination Assistance Services in accordance with this Section 18.5. In no event will Customer’s holding of monies in compliance with Section 8.6 of this Master Agreement be considered a failure by Customer to pay amounts due and payable hereunder.”
i.Section 18.6(b) of the Master Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
“As of the date of any Notice of termination or, in the case of expiration, within the 9-month period prior to expiration, Customer and its designee(s) shall be permitted but not obligated to undertake, without interference from Provider or Provider Agents (including counter offers), to solicit and/or hire any Provider Personnel that are primarily assigned to the performance of the Services (or the applicable Services being terminated if less than all of the Services are being terminated).

performance or Service Level relief and upon hiring of such Provider Personnel by Customer or its designee(s), Customer shall relieve Provider from performing the specific Service or meeting the specified Service Levels.”

Except as provided in this Section 23.6, neither Party may, or will have the power to, assign the Agreement (or any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder, including the right to receive payments hereunder) by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other, except that Customer may assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement (i) to an Affiliate or (ii) as a whole as part of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets and business, including by merger or consolidation with a Person that assumes and has the ability to perform Customer’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, without the approval of Provider.

(iii)Regardless of which Party has proposed the Contract Change, Provider will prepare, at its expense, and submit to Customer as soon as practicable, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Contract Change Request, unless the Parties mutually agree that more time is reasonably required to complete the requirements for the Contract Change, Provider’s analysis (the “Change Proposal”) of the impact, if any, of the proposed Contract Change on the following elements:
(1)the scope of Services and the Parties’ respective Responsibilities;
(2)Charges;
(3)Service Levels;
(4)technology refresh requirements and obligations;
(5)delivery dates;
(6)evaluation testing and Acceptance Criteria;
(7)DR/BC Plan;
(8)Third Party Agreements;
(9)Account Governance;
(10)regulatory requirements;
(11)Security Requirements;
(12)the policies and procedures as set forth in the Procedures Manual;
(13)any impacts on other interfaces, other systems and services;
(14)the Exit Plan; and
(15)any other matter reasonably requested by Customer at the time of preparation of the Change Proposal or reasonably considered by either Party to be relevant or impacted by implementation of the proposed Contract Change.
If the Change Proposal submitted by Provider does not include an impact analysis for any of the foregoing elements, Customer may assume in its evaluation of the Change Proposal that the proposed Contract Change has no impact on such element. Provider will resubmit the updated Change Proposal to address the impact to an element not included in Provider’s initial Change Proposal (“Revised Change Proposal”) and
2
SABRE AND DXC CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Sabre – MSA Exhibit 4 (Change Control Procedures)
Customer will review such Revised Change Proposal within a reasonable time if (i) any of Customer’s members on the Contract and Commercial Committee becomes aware of an impact to an element not addressed in the initial Change Proposal and notifies Provider of such impact in accordance with the procedures set out in Exhibit 3 (Account Governance) or (ii) Provider discovers an impact to an element not addressed in the initial Change Proposal and notifies Customer of such impact in accordance with the procedures set out in this Exhibit.
(iv)Once submitted by Provider, Customer will review the Change Proposal. Within 30 days after receipt of the Change Proposal, unless the Parties mutually agree that more time is reasonably required to review the Change Proposal, Customer will either:
(1)approve the Change Proposal;
(2)reject the Change Proposal;
(3)request further analysis of, or information regarding, the Change Proposal; or
(4)request a meeting between the Parties to discuss the Change Proposal further (a “Change Proposal Meeting”).
(v)In the event Customer requests a Change Proposal Meeting, the Parties will use reasonable efforts to agree at such meeting to either:
(1)approve the Change Proposal;
(2)gather further information regarding the Change Proposal;
(3)modify the Change Proposal as necessary and approve such Change Proposal, as modified; or
(4)reject the Change Proposal.
(vi)In the event that the Party initiating a Contract Change Request believes that the requested Change is required or necessary, the requesting Party shall inform the other Party in writing of the reasons why the Change is required and the impact if the Change is not implemented. In the event that the other Party does not agree to implement the Change, the requesting Party may consider the other Party’s failure to agree to implement the Change as a Dispute, and the requesting Party may escalate such Dispute for resolution in accordance with the Master Agreement with the intention of reaching a mutually agreeable resolution according to the Dispute Resolution Procedures.
(vii)The Parties will continue to follow the process detailed above until a final resolution regarding the proposed Contract Change is reached. The Parties will act in good faith at all times during such process.

3.2Variations to the Contract Change Control Procedures
The Parties may, by written agreement, waive or amend any part of the Contract Change Control Procedures with respect to any particular Contract Change Request. Variations may include, but are not limited to, shortening and lengthening the required timeframes or otherwise simplifying the process set forth in this Exhibit 4.
3.3Effectiveness of a Change
No discussions or interchanges between the Parties with respect to a proposed Contract Change will obligate either Party to approve any Contract Change or will constitute an amendment of the Agreement or any Service Agreement, or a waiver by either Party of any rights thereunder, unless and until reflected in a written amendment signed by the authorized representatives of Customer and Provider. Upon the signature of a Change Proposal by both Parties, the agreed upon Contract Change(s) will constitute an amendment to the Agreement or the affected Service Agreement, as applicable.
3.4Contract Change Reporting Requirements

4.3Asset Changes
i.The procedures that shall govern the process by which a Party may propose or request material changes to the Assets used in connection with the Services (“Asset Change(s)”) are subject to the following requirements:
1.Provider has the right to replace, substitute or otherwise change Provider Assets without Customer approval, so long as such change does not constitute an Asset Change. Provider may also make Asset Changes that do not alter the functionality of the systems used to provide the Services, increase the costs to Customer related to the Services or degrade the performance of the Services without Customer’s approval. In all such cases, the Parties will mutually agree on a test plan prior to implementation, and the implementation of the of the changes will be managed in accordance with the Operational Change Control Procedures to avoid negatively impacting the Services. For any other Asset Change (i.e. one that does not meet the criteria above), Provider will submit a Change Proposal prior to the Asset Change. Such Change Proposal will meet the requirements of this Exhibit 4, and the implementation of any such Asset Change will also be managed in accordance with the Operational Change Control Procedures. Provider may make temporary Asset Changes at any time and without Customer approval to the extent such Asset Changes are necessary (x) to maintain the continuity of the Services, or (y) to correct an event or occurrence that would substantially prevent, hinder or delay the operation of Customer’s critical business functions. Provider shall promptly notify Customer of all such temporary changes, and shall as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable return the affected systems to their normal state or implement a permanent Asset Change in accordance with this Section 4.3.
2.Prior to using any Provider Equipment or Provider Software to provide the Services affected by the Asset Change, Provider shall utilize customary testing efforts to verify that the item has been properly installed, is operating substantially in conformance to its specifications, and is performing its intended functions in a reliable manner and providing adequate performance consistent with the performance standards applicable immediately prior to the Asset Change.
3.Provider shall follow a formalized methodology in migrating programs from development and testing environments into production environments.

4.4Emergency Changes
Notwithstanding the Change consideration and implementation process outlined in this Exhibit 4, if a Change is required to resolve a Priority 1 Incident (“Emergency Change”), Provider shall immediately begin implementing the Emergency Change upon request by Customer. Provider shall also prepare and deliver to Customer a Change Proposal related to the Emergency Change on an expedited basis and the Parties shall work together in good faith to determine the impact on the Agreement (including without limitation, any impact on the Charges) as a result of implementing the Emergency Change. If the Parties are unable to agree on the impact on the Agreement within thirty (30) days after Customer has received the Change Proposal related to the Emergency Change from Provider, either Party may consider such failure to agree to be a Dispute, and may escalate such Dispute for resolution in accordance with the Master Agreement with the intention of reaching a mutually agreeable resolution according to the Dispute Resolution Procedures.

3.2Benchmarking Process Methodology.
Customer, Provider and the Benchmarker shall conduct the Benchmarking Process according to the following methodology or other methodology proposed by the Benchmarker and agreed to by Customer and Provider:
(a)The Benchmarker shall select a representative sampling of other top tier outsourcing providers providing Comparable Services to organizations similar to Customer (“Comparators”). There shall be at least [***] Comparators, or such lesser number if the Comparator information available to the Benchmarker is comprised of a lesser number of Comparators [***].

The Benchmarker (and any Reviewer) shall contract to keep all information associated with the Charges and terms of the Master Agreement and Service Agreements confidential and secure and to use it for no other purposes, including the purpose of adding to any of its databases, except with the express written permission of both Parties.
(i)The Benchmarker shall prepare and concurrently submit to the Parties preliminary Benchmark Results. The Parties shall have ten Business Days to review and submit questions and comments to the Benchmarker.
