AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT


This Amendment No. 4 to the Master Services Agreement (“Amendment”) dated as of July 1, 2007, the “Execution Date,” is by and between Textron Inc. (“Textron”), a Delaware corporation, having a principal place of business at 40 Westminster Street, Providence, Rhode Island ###-###-#### and Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”), a Nevada corporation, having a principal place of business at 2100 E. Grand Avenue, El Segundo, California 90245.

WHEREAS, Textron and CSC are parties to that certain Master Services Agreement, dated October 27, 2004 (together with all its attachments, the “Agreement”), which has been given the contract number TXT2004-0020, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated March 31, 2006, and Amendment No. 2, dated September 1, 2006, and Amendment No. 3, dated the same as this Amendment No. 4.

WHEREAS, Textron and CSC (collectively, the “Parties” and each, a “Party”) desire to amend the Agreement, pursuant to Section 25.8 of the MSA, as herein provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

SMALL SITE SERVICE MODEL
 
The Parties have developed an alternate service model for Textron Service Recipients that meet certain criteria, generally small or remote locations.  Numerous sections of the Agreement are amended to reflect the changes related to the new model.

I.  
MSA Section 3 (Services)
 
A new Subsection 3.10 is hereby added to Section 3 (Services) and shall read as follows:
 
“3.10    Small Sites
 
Certain Textron Service Recipients may not require the full scope of Services described herein.  If the Service Recipient would be better served by a reduced service offering, it may opt for the Small Site service model, provided that the site meets the criteria for eligibility.  Additional terms, described in Schedules, Attachments and Amendments, also apply.
 
3.10.1 This model applies to all geographic regions.
 
3.10.2  Participation in this model is optional to Service Recipients that qualify.
 
3.10.3   Where Services have been removed or altered, Textron accepts additional responsibility and associated risk commensurate with the shift in responsibility.
 
1
 
3.10.4    If a site meets the eligibility requirements (see Schedule A Definitions), and the Business Unit wishes to designate the site as a Small Site, then both Textron and CSC must agree to the designation, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
3.10.5     Once designated as a Small Site, the site must retain this status for a minimum of six (6) months before requesting a change back to full service.
 
3.10.6      If a Small Site’s Workstation count grows above the eligibility cap, the site will not lose its eligibility until the count exceeds the cap by 25%.  In this event, the site may no longer be designated a Small Site.  The site will return to the full service model in accordance with agreed upon procedures and time frames.
 
3.10.7      This model is a discreet service delivery solution and, if adopted, must be utilized in its entirety.  A Service Recipient may not adopt only some of its features and not others.
 
3.10.8       Small Sites are required to follow Textron standards for infrastructure services and equipment, where responsibility for the services or equipment has shifted back to Textron.
 
3.10.9       Once approved by both Parties, a minimum of thirty (30) days is required to process a Service Recipient request for Small Site designation and pricing.  After such time, the site will be officially recognized as a Small Site beginning on the first day of the next calendar month.
 
3.10.10     The Small Site scope of services compares to the full scope of services as follows:
 
a.  
Unchanged:  WAN; Service Desk; Email
 
b.  
Changed:  Midrange; TEMS; Workstations; Network Printers
 
c.  
Removed from CSC Scope:  LAN; Voice Systems
 
d.  
Not Applicable:  Mainframe
 
The Parties will perform their respective responsibilities under this model as further described in the Policy and Procedures Manual, the Schedules, and the Tower Service Agreements, as amended.”

2
 
member is stationed.  These criteria confirm eligibility only; actual designation as a Small Site may be subject to certain approvals or other conditions, as agreed upon by the Parties.”
 
B.  
Supported Device
 
The following sentence is hereby added to the end of the definition of Supported Device:
 
“This definition also includes Workstations in use at Small Sites; such devices shall be designated WS-Supported Device.”

“SAN pricing does not apply to Small Sites; it is replaced by the Small Site DAS Resource Unit.  Billable DAS quantities, at Small Sites, are based on the total amount of disk space that is available for storing user data.  This would be the total OEM specified capacity of a disk drive minus the capacity reserved for media defect compensation, disk size equalization, RAID parity or mirroring, and metadata.”
