3. Compensation/Payment

In consideration for the performance of the Services, Mosaic agrees to pay to FSC the service fees as set forth in each of the applicable Appendices attached hereto, and as estimated in Appendix 11.

Charging Method:

Services and associated charges are broken down into two categories: transaction based services, and hourly services.

 

   

Transaction based services. These are based on agreed upon projected volumes of specific transactions processed such as accounts payable vouchers, payments, expense reports, cash receipts applied, etc.

 

   

Hourly services. These are agreed upon services that are performed and the effort is recorded based on the time involved to perform the service such as handling supplier inquiries, traveler questions, customer invoice distribution, etc.

 

2


Pass Through Costs:

Costs incurred by the FSC for the benefit of Mosaic will be billed to Mosaic as these costs occur.

Examples of pass-through costs include mailing cost for Mosaic’s specific needs, external resources hired specifically for Mosaic related projects or activities, costs for equipment purchased exclusively for use by Mosaic, etc.

Charging:

Charges for the Services provided to Mosaic will be billed monthly. The billing will be one month in arrears and reflect the actual transaction volumes and hours for the previous month.

Pricing of Services:

Pricing of Services will be as provided in this FSC Work Order and will be good for a period of one (1) year. After one (1) year, the pricing will be reviewed and adjusted as agreed upon by both parties as of the first anniversary of this FSC Work Order. A three percent (3 %) per year price increase will be applied to the updated pricing in the third year of the FSC Work Order.

Travel Costs:

All travel costs incurred on behalf of Mosaic that will be charged to Mosaic will be presented to Mosaic for approval prior to incurring the cost.

4. Resources provided to FSC by Mosaic:

Mosaic will provide FSC with access to SAP, Stellent, Mosaic business systems and other systems necessary to perform the activities and provide the level of service agreed upon in this FSC Work Order. Mosaic will ensure that licensing on all business systems that will be used by the FSC allows for third party access and usage of the systems. Mosaic will provide FSC written documentation indicating approval from the vendor that the systems can be accessed and used by third parties on behalf of Mosaic. Mosaic will provide FSC personnel access to the support systems for the Mosaic based applications being used, and support for these systems at a level necessary to fulfill FSC’s obligations under this FSC Work Order. Mosaic will provide FSC personnel with the appropriate training on Mosaic systems as systems are updated or changed and FSC agrees to follow Mosaic’s procedures while using its systems.

Mosaic will provide the technology, equipment, and infrastructure necessary to support any unique processing, services, and communications necessary to provide Mosaic with the level of service agreed upon in this FSC Work Order. This includes unique equipment required by Mosaic such as routers, corporate backbone access, customer support center, EDI, LAN/WAN network, mainframe communications, remote access, etc. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive but to provide examples of items needed to continue to provide service to Mosaic. Mosaic will provide these items at no cost to FSC.

5. Interruption of Service

In the event of unforeseen circumstances such as weather events or system outages, FSC will employ “best efforts” to carry out all critical activities. Critical activities will include payments, lockbox processing and urgent address book set-ups. The FSC will maintain an updated business continuation plan that addresses the processing needs of Mosaic and how those needs will be met during an unexpected interruption at the FSC. This plan will be available for review by Mosaic personnel upon request.

Appendix 1

Address Book

Transaction Based Services:

Supplier, and Employee Address Book Additions and Changes: Address Book requests from Mosaic will be processed within 24 hours of receipt by the FSC. If Mosaic submits an “Urgent” Address Book request, it will be processed within one hour. This service level will be achieved 95% of the time for “Urgent” requests and 90% of the time for “Normal” requests. Customer Address Book records are not within scope of services expected by Mosaic.

1099 Adjustments: Adjustments submitted to the FSC by the stated deadline will be processed prior to 1099’s being printed and sent to suppliers. Adjustments received by the FSC after the stated deadline will be considered late and additional charges for processing will apply. Late adjustments may result in revisions or corrections, which is a Customer Driven Service, rather than an adjustment.

Pricing: Charge rates are based on projected costs and volumes, and are calculated to reflect the level of effort required for each service. Rates are as follows:

 

Additions – Normal    Volume      Rate
   All    $ 5.50
Changes - Normal    Volume      Rate
   All    $ 4.00
1099 Adjustments    Volume      Rate
    Prior to deadline    All    $ 2.50
    After deadline    All      5.00
Additions - Urgent    Volume      Rate
   All    $ 11.00
Changes - Urgent    Volume      Rate
   All    $ 9.50
     
     
     

Measurement: Address book request cycle times will be monitored and reported to Mosaic quarterly.

FSC Expectations of Mosaic:

 

   

“Urgent” will be applied to requests only when appropriate, as this does negatively impact processing efficiency.

 

   

Accounting for 1099’able transactions will follow the appropriate account code structure. Failure to do so results in significant rework by both the FSC and Mosaic for 1099 processing.

 

   

W-9 certificates will be requested by Mosaic to speed up the process and to avoid putting payments on hold status. Tax regulation defines monetary penalties for all 1099’s issued with incorrect or missing Tax ID information.

 

   

Address Book accounts will be set up throughout the year for 1099’able payments made outside of SAP, to minimize the setup work needed during 1099 season.

 

   

Standard service level agreement timeframes do not apply to spreadsheets submitted for acquisitions or large quantities. Spreadsheets will be processed as soon as possible, among Normal and Urgent requests.

Address Book – cont’d.

individual submitting the expense report has been flagged for audit (ex. new traveler, executives and board members)

 

   

expense submitted has exceeded a limit in the system

 

   

expense report has been selected for random audit

When selected for audit the following procedures will be performed: the receipts will be compared to the amounts and category of expense reported on the expense report and the expense will be compared to the travel policy to verify the expense is reimbursable per travel policy. Should errors be detected during the audit process, the expense report will be adjusted and the traveler will be notified of the change. If fraudulent activity is suspected, the Mosaic Corporate Controller and Cargill’s internal audit will be contacted.
