2. TERM OF AGREEMENT

2.1. Term of Agreement

The Term of the Agreement will begin as of the Effective Date and will terminate upon the latest termination date provided for in an effective Statement of Work, unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. The term of each Statement of Work will be for the period set forth therein.

2.2. Extension of Services

Customer may request and Supplier will once extend the provision of the Termination Assistance Services pursuant to any Statement of Work for the Extension Period upon not less than ** days prior written notice before the scheduled termination or expiration of the provision of the Services, or if applicable, notice given within thirty (30) days after the effective date of a notice of termination for any reason by either Party. Any such extension shall be on the terms, conditions and pricing in effect at the time of the commencement of such extension.

3. THE SERVICES

3.1. Obligation to Provide Services

(a) Obligation to Provide Services. Starting on the Commencement Date of each Statement of Work and continuing during the term of each such Statement of Work, Supplier shall provide the Services described in each such Statement of Work to, and perform the Services for, Customer in accordance with the applicable Statement of Work and this Agreement.

(b) Responsibilities. Supplier and Customer will perform their respective duties, obligations and responsibilities (“Responsibilities”) set forth in each Statement of Work (each, a “Responsibility Matrix”). The failure of Customer, its Affiliates, their respective contractors (other than Supplier or its subcontractors) or Customer Third Party Providers to perform a Responsibility or other obligation under this Agreement will excuse Supplier’s obligation to perform its corresponding obligations under this Agreement if and only if Supplier, after becoming aware of the failure, provides notice to Customer of such failure and demonstrates that: (i) the failure was the cause of Supplier’s inability to perform; and (ii) Supplier could not have continued performance by using commercially reasonable methods, activities and procedures. In the event of (i) and (ii), Supplier will be excused from performance of those Services impacted by the failure to perform only to the extent that, and for so long as, Customer’s failure to perform its Responsibilities or other obligation under this Agreement prevents Supplier’s performance. The Parties will use the Change Control Procedures to address any Changes (including any resulting demonstrable increases in Supplier’s costs) required as a result of the failure.

(c) Other Excused Performance. The failure of Supplier or its subcontractors to perform Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement (including to meet the Service Levels) will also be excused if and to the extent such non-performance is caused by (i) wrongful or

Page 3 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

tortious conduct by Customer, its Affiliates, or their respective contractors (other than Supplier or its subcontractors), (ii) actions and decisions taken or made by Customer against the reasonable recommendation of Supplier for which Supplier has given reasonably detailed notice of the anticipated adverse impact on the Services (e.g., delayed refresh of Equipment) and such adverse impact in fact occurs, or (iii) the failure of a Customer Third Party Provider (including any Customer Third Party Provider providing Asset maintenance services) to perform its responsibilities, or duties or obligations imposed on such Customer Third Party Provider under the applicable Third Party Agreement, unless and to the extent such responsibilities, duties or obligations are within the responsibilities of Supplier under this Agreement; provided that in each case:

	(i)		Supplier, upon obtaining actual or constructive knowledge of such event or omission, promptly notifies Customer of such failure;

	(ii)		Supplier identifies and pursues commercially reasonable means to mitigate the impact of such failure to perform; and

	(iii)		Supplier uses commercially reasonable efforts to perform notwithstanding such failure to perform.

In the event of the foregoing, Supplier will be excused from performance of those obligations impacted only to the extent that, and for so long as, the event or omission prevents Supplier’s performance. The Parties will use the Change Control Procedures to address any Changes (including any resulting demonstrable increases in Supplier’s costs) required as a result of the failure.

(d) Additional Affiliates. If Customer acquires, whether through merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or otherwise, a Person which is a Third Party (a “Customer Acquisition”), then such entity’s applicable operations will, subject to the specific limitations or restrictions set forth herein or the Statements of Work, become subject to this Agreement if requested by Customer in its sole discretion. If so requested by Customer, such entity will have all rights and benefits and be subject to all obligations of Customer under this Agreement, on the date specified by Customer. In the event of a Customer Acquisition, at either party’s election, the Parties will renegotiate in good faith and agree upon, any necessary changes to the affected Baseline Charges, Baselines, Additional Resource Charges, Reduced Resource Charges and other directly affected portions of the Agreement (e.g., the Service Levels applicable to the Services provided to the acquired Person but not the “legal” terms and conditions of this Agreement) to account for the increased volume and other changes in the Services (including any non-recurring transition or start-up activities specific to the acquired Person or other differences in the cost of delivery such as differences resulting from a different location to or from which the Services will be performed), all in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. Supplier acknowledges that the ARC Rates for certain affected Resource Units will be reduced as a result of an increase in volumes, if any, resulting from such Customer Acquisition.

(e) Divestiture of Affiliates. If Customer divests any Customer Affiliate or other operation or entity (other than a divestiture subject to Section 17.7) during the Term and

Page 4 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

Customer desires that Supplier continue to provide some or all of the Services for such Affiliate or other operation or entity, Supplier will continue to provide Customer and/or such divested Affiliate or other operation or entity with such Services if such divested Affiliate or other operation or entity (i) used the Services prior to being divested, and (ii) after being divested, uses essentially the same Services as before being divested, and otherwise does not require Supplier to modify its systems or processes used to perform and provide the Services by more than an immaterial amount. Supplier shall charge Customer for the continuing performance and delivery of such Services based on the existing charging methodologies for the Charges (subject to payment of any non-recurring transition or start-up activities specific to the divestiture and an equitable adjustment of the Charges for any other differences in the cost of delivery such as differences resulting from a different location from which the Services will be performed). Supplier shall provide the Services to any such divested Affiliate, operation or entity for a period specified by Customer within three (3) months after the divestiture that is not more than twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of such divestiture. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Customer shall remain (A) the single point of contact with Supplier with respect to those Services provided to the divested Affiliate, and (B) fully responsible for the exercise of all rights and the performance of all obligations under this Agreement to the same extent as if the Affiliate had not been divested and the Services performed for Customer.

3.2. Compliance

(a) Generally. Supplier shall perform the Services in compliance with:

	(i)		the Agreement, including the Procedures Manuals;

	(ii)		all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Supplier in its performance and delivery of the Services;

	(iii)		as instructed by Customer, all laws, rules and regulations (including any guidance, bulletins, white papers, pronouncements, reports or similar communications issued by any Governmental Authority or applicable self-regulatory or industry body, whether or not such guidance, bulletins, white papers, pronouncements, reports or similar communications have the force of law, to the extent determined by Customer in its sole discretion) applicable to the portion of the operations of Customer performed by Supplier as part of the Services, just as if Customer performed the Services itself, as interpreted, augmented and/or modified by the Customer Compliance Directives (collectively, the “Customer Compliance Requirements”); and

	(iv)		all Customer Compliance Directives.

(b) Interpretive Issues. If Supplier determines that the performance of the Services requires an interpretation of any aspect of any Procedures Manual, the Customer Compliance Directives or, to the extent known, any of the Customer Compliance Requirements (an “Interpretative Issue”), Supplier shall present to the Customer Compliance Officer or his/her designee for such purpose, in writing the factual scenario in issue for resolution. The Customer

Page 5 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

Compliance Officer or his/her designee, shall as soon as practical instruct Supplier in writing with respect to each such Interpretative Issue so presented to him/her, and Supplier is authorized to act and rely on, and shall promptly implement such Customer instruction(s) in the performance and delivery of the Services. All Customer instruction responses regarding Interpretative Issues shall be deemed Customer Compliance Directives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer shall remain solely responsible for determining whether the Services comply with Customer Compliance Requirements or Laws affecting Customer’s internal operations.

(c) Customer Compliance Directives. From time to time Customer may instruct Supplier in writing as to compliance with any of the Customer Compliance Requirements and changes in Supplier’s policies and procedures relating to such compliance (a “Customer Compliance Directive”). Supplier is authorized to act and rely on, and shall promptly implement, each Customer Compliance Directive in the performance and delivery of the Services, subject to the provisions of paragraph (f) below. If Customer instructs Supplier to perform the Services in a particular manner in order to comply with a Customer Compliance Requirement or Customer Compliance Directive, and Supplier so complies with such instruction, Supplier may claim as damages, and Customer shall be responsible for, fines, penalties, interest, and similar financial obligations levied against Supplier for violations of such Customer Compliance Requirement or Customer Compliance Directive, if and to the extent resulting from Supplier’s compliance with Customer’s instruction. If Customer directs Supplier to perform the Services in a particular manner in order to comply with a Customer Compliance Requirement or Customer Compliance Directive, and Supplier fails to so perform the Services in such manner, Customer may claim as damages, and Supplier shall be responsible for, fines, penalties, interest, and similar financial obligations levied against Customer for violations of such a Customer Compliance Requirement or Customer Compliance Directive, if and to the extent resulting from Supplier’ failure.

(d) Development and Maintenance of Procedures Manual. The policies and procedures applicable to the provision of the Services described in each Statement of Work will be set forth in an operational procedures manual to be developed by Supplier in accordance with the Procedures Manual Requirements attached hereto as Exhibit 8 and the Transition Plans and will be subject to the review and written approval of Customer (as approved by Customer, each, a “Procedures Manual”). Customer will provide reasonable information, input and assistance related to the development of the Procedures Manual as specified in Exhibit 8 and the Transition Plans. Supplier will be responsible for the preparation, accuracy, maintenance and currency of the Procedures Manuals and will prepare and provide to Customer, in both print and electronic formats, proposed updates thereto as necessary to reflect any substantive changes therein within a reasonable time prior to the implementation of such changes. Either Party may, from time to time, request updates or amendments to the Procedures Manuals. Changes to the Procedures Manuals will be made in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. The Procedures Manuals will describe the manner in which the Services are to be performed, but is not intended to expand or alter the scope of the Parties’ Responsibilities. Supplier will perform its obligations under this Section 3.2(d), including any obligations required through the Change Control Procedures, at no cost to Customer.

Page 6 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(e) Security Requirements. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 are Customer’s guidelines for logical security and Customer’s guidelines for physical security at the Customer Locations (the “Security Requirements”). Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, Supplier will conduct analyses of the Security Requirements and notify Customer of any identified gaps or deficiencies therein. Customer shall notify Supplier in writing of any changes, updates, modifications or amendments of the Security Requirements. Supplier will comply, and will ensure that its agents and subcontractors comply, with the Security Requirements, as amended by Customer. Supplier will maintain guidelines for logical and physical security at Supplier Locations that are no less than industry standard. If Supplier or its agents or subcontractors discover or are notified of a breach of security relating to any Customer Data, or attempted breach of security that could reasonably be expected to result in any improper release of any Customer Data, Supplier will promptly (i) notify Customer; (ii) investigate the breach or potential breach; (iii) take necessary steps to mitigate the effects of the breach or potential breach; and (iv) make necessary changes to ensure that such breach, or potential breach, does not re-occur. If the breach or attempted breach was caused by the personnel of Supplier or its agents or subcontractors (including as a result of Supplier’s failure to comply with the security requirements), Supplier shall perform the foregoing at no additional charge to Customer.

(f) Regulatory Changes. Supplier shall, with Customer’s approval and at Supplier’s expense, conform the Services in a timely manner to any changes in the compliance matters referred to in Section 3.2(a)(ii). Supplier shall also, with Customer’s approval and at Customer’s request, conform the Services in a timely manner to any change in Customer Compliance Requirements (including Customer Compliance Directives). With respect to new or revised Customer Compliance Requirements (including Customer Compliance Directives) that require sustained and substantive changes in the Services or increases in the resources, level of effort or other costs required to perform the Services, the work may be performed as a Project and the Charges shall be adjusted by Supplier in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. In a quote submitted to Customer for review and acceptance, Supplier shall identify such changes, shall propose a method of integrating such changes in a cost-effective manner and without disruption of Customer’s ongoing operations (as modified by such changes), and shall identify Supplier’s increased or decreased costs that will result therefrom and Supplier’s proposed adjustment of the Charges to reflect such changes. Such changes and adjustments shall:

	(i)		equitably account for any efficiencies, economies or reduced or increased resource requirements resulting from any changes in the Services or applicable Service Level Agreement resulting from such changes;

	(ii)		address the marginal costs Supplier would incur to make such changes or adjustments taking into account (A) amounts received and to be received from other customers for the changes; (B) the expected re-usability of such changes by each Party; and (C) the amount each Party would be required to incur in the absence of this Agreement to make such changes and incorporate them into their respective operations; and

Page 7 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(iii)

provide modified Charges that have been determined on a commercially reasonable basis consistent with the other Charges.

Upon agreement of the Parties to the proposed changes and adjustments, Supplier will prepare and the Parties will execute a Change Order reflecting the terms of their agreement in accordance with Section 9.8.

(g) Other. Customer will with respect to the receipt of Services and the performance of its legal and contractual obligations hereunder comply with all Laws applicable to the receipt of the Services and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (including identifying and procuring applicable permits, certificates, approvals and inspections required under such Laws).

3.3. Performance

(a) Service Level Agreement. Subject to the limitations and in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Agreement, Supplier agrees that, commencing on the dates specified therein: (i) the performance of the applicable Services will meet or exceed the applicable Service Levels set forth in Exhibit 15; and (ii) the performance of the Services covered by each Statement of Work will meet or exceed the applicable Service Levels set forth in Schedule A (Service Level Agreement) to each such Statement of Work. Supplier will perform all New Services in accordance with the Service Level Agreement, if any, established for such New Services. Supplier shall perform all Services and New Services without expressly defined Service Levels, if applicable, at a level of accuracy, completeness, availability, timeliness, quality, responsiveness and performance that equals or exceeds the level of performance by Customer or any Third Party providing such services for Customer before the applicable Commencement Date of such Services. If no such levels of performance exist, beginning within a reasonable period of time after Supplier assumes responsibility for the Services (for all of Customer or a Customer Location, as applicable) as contemplated in the Transition Plan, Supplier shall perform all Services and New Services without expressly defined Service Levels in accordance with appropriate industry standards.

(b) Modification of Service Level Agreement. The Service Level Agreements will include procedures for implementing changes, modifications, deletions and replacements of and additions to, the Service Levels and associated Service Level Credits.

(c) Performance Monitoring. Supplier shall implement and operate all measurement and monitoring tools and procedures required to measure and report its performance relative to the applicable Service Level Agreement, such that such measurement and reporting is clear and unambiguous and reasonably supported by objective data. The tools and reports set forth in Exhibit 9 and the Service Level Agreements have been approved by Customer as suitable to satisfy Supplier’s obligations under this Section 3.3(c) as of the Commencement Date. Prior to implementing changes, modifications, deletions and replacements of and additions to the Service Levels, the Parties shall agree upon new tools or reports required for such Service Levels. The Service Level Agreement measurement, monitoring and reporting processes will be subject to audit by Customer in accordance with Section 9.9.

Page 8 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(d) Performance Reports. Each Service Level will be measured on at least a monthly basis, unless otherwise indicated. Supplier shall provide, as part of Supplier’s monthly performance reports, a set of hard- and soft-copy reports specified in Exhibit 9 or the applicable Service Level Agreement to verify Supplier’s performance and compliance with the applicable Service Level Agreement (“Performance Reports”). Supplier shall provide Customer access to any details or supporting information used to generate such Performance Reports.

(e) Service Level Failures. Supplier’s failure to meet a Service Level shall entitle Customer to receive credits against Service Charges in the form of Service Level Credits in accordance with the applicable Service Level Agreement. The total amount of Service Level Credits due under all Service Level Agreements shall be capped at the At Risk Amount. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that the Service Level Credits will not be deemed or construed to be a sole and exclusive remedy or in derogation of any other rights and remedies Customer has hereunder. However, if Customer recovers monetary damages from Supplier as a result of Supplier’s failure to meet a Service Level, Supplier shall be entitled to set-off against such damages any Service Level Credits received by Customer for the failure giving rise to such recovery.

(f) Customer Satisfaction. Supplier will administer customer, IT delivery, business process management and end user satisfaction surveys as set forth in the Statements of Work. The surveys will, at a minimum, cover a representative sampling of end-users and senior management of Customer, as applicable. Customer or its designee shall have the right to audit Supplier’s administration of the satisfaction surveys and all data associated with the administration of such surveys, including the raw data comprising the survey results.

3.4. Disaster Recovery Services

(a) General. Supplier shall, from the applicable Commencement Date, provide Disaster Recovery Services under each Statement of Work in accordance with the “Disaster Recovery Requirements” Schedule to each Statement of Work. In addition, Supplier shall, within the timeframes described in the “Disaster Recovery Requirements” Schedule to each Statement of Work or such later timeframe as may be approved by Customer, develop a Supplier Disaster Recovery Plan appropriate to the provision of the Services, and the capacity to execute and perform such Disaster Recovery Plan described in such “Disaster Recovery Requirements” Schedule. The Supplier Disaster Recovery Plan shall cover critical personnel, operations, systems and processing at facilities used in the provision of the Services and shall be subject to the review and written approval of Customer. Supplier agrees to provide recommendations to implement, maintain and improve the Supplier Disaster Recovery Plan as necessary to keep the plan current with applicable industry standards and best practices, or as otherwise necessary to satisfy Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement. Prior to implementing any material Change to the Disaster Recovery Plan, Supplier will provide Customer a copy of such Change for Customer’s Consent.

(b) Testing. The Supplier Disaster Recovery Plan will have success criteria that will be associated with testing of the plan.

tests.

During any disaster, Supplier will notify Customer daily of the status of the disaster. During a disaster that causes Supplier to allocate limited resources between or among Supplier’s customers, Supplier will not give greater priority to any of its other customers in its recovery efforts than it gives to Customer taking into account the nature and extent of the disaster and its impact on Customer and other similarly situated customers. If Supplier materially breaches its obligations to provide Disaster Recovery Services under this Section 3.4(c) and, as a result thereof, fails to commence performance of Services critical to the operation of Customer’s business for**, unless Supplier has retained a Third Party to provide such Services, Customer shall have the right to retain a Third Party to provide such Services. . ** Upon completion of a disaster, Supplier will as soon as reasonably practicable, provide Customer with an incident report detailing the reason for the disaster and all actions taken by Supplier to resolve the disaster.

New Services may be activities that are performed on a continuous basis for the remainder of the Term or activities that are performed on a project basis. To determine whether a service is a New Service and not an existing Service, the Parties will first review the Statements of Work for guidance as to whether the requested service is included within (or inherent to) the Responsibilities assigned to Supplier in the Statements of Work such that it will qualify as an existing Service. ** To request a New Service, Customer will deliver a written request (the “New Service Request”) to the Supplier Account Manager specifying in reasonable detail to the extent known (i) the proposed New Service, (ii) the objective or purpose of such New Service, (iii) the requirements and specifications of the deliverables to be delivered pursuant to such New Service (including an estimation of anticipated additional volumes of services required), and (iv) the requested prioritization and schedule for such New Service.

(b) Supplier Response. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith in discussing the scope and nature of the requirements contemplated by the New Service Request, the availability of Supplier personnel and resources to provide such New Service and the time period in which such New Service will be implemented. Within such time as may be reasonably requested by Customer under the circumstances, Supplier will prepare and deliver to the Customer Account Manager a written statement (the “New Service Response”) describing any changes in products, services, assignment of personnel and other resources that Supplier believes would be required. In addition, such New Service Response shall include, as appropriate or applicable, (i) a written description of the work that Supplier anticipates performing in connection with the New Service, (ii) a schedule and proposed

transition/implementation plan for commencing and implementing such New Service, (iii) Supplier’s proposed charges for such New Service, including a detailed breakdown of any such charges, and whether the New Service would result in any increase or decrease in existing pricing, (iv) a description of the effect, if any, such New Service would have on this Agreement, including on Service Levels, (v) an estimation of all Resource Units and other resources required to implement such New Service, including a description of the delivery risks and associated risk mitigation plans, (vi) a description of any new Software, tools or machines to be provided by Supplier in connection with such New Service, (vii) a description of the Software, hardware, tools, machines and run-time requirements necessary to develop and operate any new Software, (viii) a list of any existing Software, hardware, tools or machines included in or to be used in connection with such New Service, (ix) identification of any Software, hardware, tools, machines, runtime requirements, Charges or Resource Units which will be eliminated/reduced partially or completely by the New Service, (x) acceptance test criteria and procedures for any new Software, hardware, tools or any products, packages or services to be used in connection with such New Service, (xi) Customer Responsibilities anticipated to facilitate Supplier’s delivery of the New Service, and (xii) such other information as may be relevant to the proposed New Service. With Customer’s Consent, Supplier may submit an initial New Service Response (a “ROM”) that includes only the information Customer reasonably deems necessary in order to make an informed decision as to whether to instruct Supplier to proceed with a comprehensive New Services Response.

(c) Agreements to Provide New Services. The Supplier Account Manager and the Customer Account Manager will meet to determine whether they desire for Supplier to proceed with the implementation of the proposed New Service in accordance with the New Service Response. No New Service implementation shall occur without the mutual agreement of the Parties to the terms and conditions of such New Service pursuant to the Change Control Procedures. Any agreement of the Parties with respect to New Services will be in writing, will constitute an amendment to this Agreement and shall also become a “Service” and be reflected in a new Statement of Work hereto or in an amendment to an existing Statement of Work hereunder.

(d) Certain Changes Not New Services. The Parties agree that changes during the Term in functions, responsibilities and tasks that are within the scope of the Services will not be deemed to be New Services, if such functions, responsibilities and tasks evolved or were supplemented and enhanced during the Term by Supplier in its sole discretion or otherwise in the ordinary course.

3.6. Supplier to Provide and Manage Necessary Resources

Each Party will have the responsibility and obligation to provide and administer, manage, support, maintain and pay for the resources (including personnel, hardware, software, facilities, services and other items, however described) specified in the Statements of Work and Asset Allocation Matrix necessary or appropriate for Supplier to provide, perform and deliver the Services as described in the Agreement.

4. CHARGES; NEW SERVICES; INVOICES; AND PAYMENTS

4.1. Charges

Customer agrees to pay to Supplier the Charges as specified in the “Charges” Schedule to each Statement of Work, together with the other amounts as described in this Section 4.

4.2. Taxes

(a) General. The Charges and other amounts described in this Agreement, including the “Charges” Schedules to each Statement of Work, are exclusive of: federal, state, local, or foreign sales, use, excise, value-added, or similar consumption taxes, customs, duties, fees or other tax, however designated or levied based upon Supplier’s charges for the products and Services pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, equipment, Software, consulting, programming, maintenance charges or other services that are used or consumed by Customer, except any tax, tax-like charge or tax-related surcharge, or withholding tax, determined by Supplier’s income, net worth, franchise or property (which shall be borne solely by Supplier and its Affiliates), hereinafter referred to collectively as “Taxes”. Customer will pay such applicable Taxes, provided such Taxes are due pursuant to tax Law, properly invoiced and separately stated at the same time and on the same invoice as the applicable charge, however, Customer shall be responsible for any such Taxes that are not included on the same invoice as the charge if it is later determined that the Taxes were not charged by Supplier based on information provided by Customer or they do not increase the Taxes and related amounts payable by Customer. Customer shall not be responsible for interest and penalties associated with a failure by Supplier to appropriately collect and remit any such Tax to the appropriate tax authority, unless such failure is due to non-payment by Customer.

(b) Withholding. If Customer is required to withhold a foreign income or profits tax from a payment of a charge for the Services listed herein, within ten (10) days of withholding such tax, Customer will provide Supplier with official tax certificates documenting remittance of the tax and the tax certificates will be in a form sufficient to document qualification of the tax for the foreign tax credit allowable against Supplier’s corporation income tax.

(c) Exemptions. Supplier shall not collect an otherwise applicable Tax if Customer’s purchase is exempt from Supplier’s collection of such Tax and a valid Tax exemption certificate or direct pay permit is furnished by Customer to Supplier before the first invoice is issued.

(d) Value Added Taxes. In the event that any value-added Tax (“VAT”) is payable on the goods or services provided under this Agreement, the VAT shall be added to the Charges and shall be for the account of Customer. If VAT on the supplies of Supplier is payable by Customer under a reverse charge procedure, (i.e. shifting of liability, accounting or payment requirement to recipient of suppliers), Customer shall ensure that Supplier will not be held liable for this VAT by the relevant taxing authorities or other parties. Supplier shall ensure that its invoices to Customer are issued in such a way that these invoices meet the requirements for deductions of input VAT, if any, reasonably specified by Customer.

Page 14 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(e) Assessments. If Supplier receives notice from any taxing authority with respect to an assessment or potential assessment or imposition of any Tax that Customer would be responsible for paying pursuant to this Section 4.2 (a “Proposed Tax”), Supplier shall promptly send notice to Customer of such notice. To the extent directed by Customer in a notice sent to Supplier, Supplier shall timely contest at Customer’s direction and expense (such expense to be limited as set forth in this Section 4.2(e) relating to all actions to be taken to contest) such Proposed Tax with Customer’s participation, or, if Customer so directs, permit Customer to contest, to the extent permissible under applicable Law and procedures, such Proposed Tax, at Customer’s expense and in a forum selected by Customer and with counsel selected by Customer and reasonably acceptable to Supplier, until such assessment has been upheld by the decision of an appellate court. To the extent Supplier contests a Proposed Tax at Customer’s direction, and such contest involves claims with respect to taxes for which Customer would not be responsible under Section 4.2(a), Customer shall be responsible only for that portion of Supplier’s expenses as are reasonably allocable to the contest of Taxes for which Customer would be responsible under Section 4.2(a). Supplier may compromise, settle, or resolve such a Proposed Tax contest under this Section 4.2(e) without Customer’s Consent (provided such compromise, settlement, or resolution is limited only to the Taxes for the Tax period involved and in no way results in an implication of fault upon Customer) only if Supplier waives any indemnity rights Supplier has against Customer with respect to the Proposed Taxes being contested. Otherwise, Supplier may not compromise, settle, or resolve such Proposed Tax contest without Customer’s Consent. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Proposed Tax, if Customer becomes responsible for additional amounts because Supplier failed to comply fully with the requirements or procedures in this Section 4.2(e), such Proposed Tax for which Supplier has failed to comply with this Section 4.2(e) shall not be a Tax for which Customer is responsible under Section 4.2(a).

(f) Refunds and Rebates. Customer shall be entitled to any Tax refunds or rebates granted to the extent such refunds or rebates are of Taxes that were the responsibility of and were paid by Customer under this Agreement or which were passed through to Customer. Customer may require Supplier to choose and perform one of the following: (i) apply for and diligently pursue, at Customer’s expense, a refund of Taxes otherwise payable by Customer, (ii) if permitted by Law, assign its rights to a refund claim for such Taxes to Customer; or (iii) pay to the Customer the amount of Taxes claimed by the refund claim with interest at the statutory refund rate.

(g) Cooperation. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other to enable each to more accurately determine its own Tax liabilities and to minimize such Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement to the extent legally possible. Supplier’s invoices shall separately state the amounts of any Taxes Supplier is collecting from Customer in accordance with the terms of Exhibit 10 and/or the applicable “Charges” Schedules. In the case of Customer, such cooperation shall include providing Supplier with any applicable exemption certificates, multi-state benefit certificates, or resale certificates, and information regarding use of materials, services, or sales necessary for Supplier to comply with the invoice requirements as set for the above and in the “Charges” Schedules. In the case of Supplier, such cooperation shall include providing Customer with applicable information regarding delivery or use of the goods or services provided under this Agreement, and, at the request of Customer, taking additional commercially reasonable steps to minimize Taxes. Supplier’s cooperation shall also include,

Page 15 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

providing itemized or non-itemized invoices or billing at Customer’s request in accordance with Exhibit 10 and/or the “Charges” Schedules, and separating (or combining) on Supplier’s invoices any of the Services at Customer’s request in accordance with Exhibit 10 and/or the “Charges” Schedules; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect Customer’s payment obligations under the Agreement and Supplier shall not be required to take any step that would be materially disadvantageous to the Supplier business or operations or would require it to incur material additional costs unless Customer agrees to reimburse it for that material disadvantages or those additional costs in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. In the case of both Parties, such cooperation shall include maintaining data, as reasonably necessary for Tax compliance purposes, making such data available to the other Party (or permitting the other Party to copy, at the requesting Party’s expense, such data), and making information in its possession and employees with technical expertise available (at the providing Party’s reasonable cost) as reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation of any Tax returns or any audit, contest or refund claim related to Taxes.

4.3. Invoices and Invoice Payment

(a) Invoices. Supplier shall render, by means of an electronic file, an invoice or invoices in a form specified by Customer in Exhibit 10 or the Statements of Work and otherwise in reasonable detail for the Charges incurred in each month. Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) identify and obtain invoices for any Pass Through Charges that the applicable Third Party provider does not provide to the Supplier in a timely manner, and (ii) ensure that all such Pass Through Charges incurred in the month corresponding to each invoice are included in such invoice(s). Supplier shall report each month to Customer on the status of late Third Party Provider invoices under Managed Agreements and the Supplier’s efforts to obtain them. Supplier shall not “mark-up” the Pass Through Charges except as specifically provided in the applicable Statement of Work.

(b) Payment. All amounts due to Supplier and set forth on an invoice delivered pursuant to paragraph (a) above and the applicable Statement of Work shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of Customer’s receipt of such invoice. Any amounts not paid when due will bear interest from the due date until paid at the lesser of (i) the highest rate allowed by Law and (ii) ** percent simple interest per month, pro-rated for partial months.

(c) Back Billing. Supplier shall not invoice Customer, and Customer will not be obligated to pay, any Charges that are not properly invoiced within ** days after the end of the month to which such Charges correspond. Supplier shall be financially responsible for any Pass Through Charge that is not properly submitted to Customer within ** days after the end of the month in which Supplier receives the invoice for the expense (but not later than one hundred and ** days after the end of the month in which such expense is incurred).

(d) Invoices in Arrears. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement (including the “Charges” Schedules), no invoice for Charges for any of the Services shall be delivered to Customer until after the Services that are the subject of such invoice have been provided to Customer.

4.4. Charges for New Services

The charges for New Services will be integrated into the “Charges” Schedule to the affected Statement of Work in accordance with Sections 3.5 and 17.2.

4.5. Benchmarking Process

(a) General.

	(i)		Beginning no sooner than one (1) year following the Effective Date, and no more than once every other year during the Term, at Customer’s expense, Customer may engage a Benchmarker to benchmark the Service Levels and Charges for the Services provided under each or any of the Statement(s) of Work.

	(ii)		The purpose and results of the Benchmarking Process are to determine if the Charges and Service Levels for selected Services are competitive within a reference class of reasonably comparable customers.

(b) Initiating Benchmarking. The Benchmark Process may be initiated by Customer by giving at least ninety (90) days’ prior notice to Supplier. Customer shall select the Benchmarker from the list of Benchmarkers set forth on Exhibit 5. Each of these Benchmarkers is agreed by the Parties to be qualified to perform the Benchmark Process based on their demonstrated skills, experience, responsiveness, objectivity and fees.

(c) Benchmark Process Methodology. Customer, Supplier and the Benchmarker shall conduct the Benchmark Process according to the following methodology:

	(i)		The Benchmarker shall select a representative sampling of other outsourced organizations that share substantially similar attributes with respect to size, investments, scope and nature of overall services, quality standards and Service Levels, technology, payment and performance credit structure, geographic scope of services and other factors deemed pertinent by the Benchmarker (“Comparators”). There shall be six (6) Comparators or such lesser number (but not less than three (3)) if the Comparator information available to the Benchmarker is comprised of a lesser number of Comparators. The Benchmarker shall make adjustments to the Comparators as necessary to permit a normalized comparison.

	(ii)		For each Comparator used to calculate the Benchmark Results, the Benchmarker shall disclose to Customer and Supplier the demographic data (e.g., the total number of Service resource units and/or other basis on which Charges are based, a general description of the quality of services and service environment and other similar data) reasonably required for the Parties to

Page 17 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

			understand the basis upon which the Benchmarker determined that the Comparators chosen by the Benchmarker comply with the requirements set forth above. Due to the confidential nature of Comparator data and nondisclosure agreements to which such data may be subject, the Benchmarker shall not be required to disclose the name of the Comparators.

	(iii)		The data used by the Benchmarker in the Benchmark Process will be reasonably current (i.e., based on services provided to Customer and the Comparators no more than twelve (12) months prior to the start of the Benchmark Process).

	(iv)		The Benchmarker shall compare each Comparator’s contracted charges, Service Levels and scope with Supplier’s contracted Charges, Service Levels and scope with respect to the subject Services. In making this comparison, the Benchmarker shall consider the following factors in order to generate a “like-for-like” comparison and shall adjust the comparative prices as and to the extent appropriate: (A) whether Supplier transition and transformation charges are paid by the customer as incurred or amortized over the term of this Agreement; (B) the extent to which this Agreement calls for Supplier to provide and comply with unique customer requirements; and (C) differences in volume of services (scale), scope of services, financing or payment streams, geographic distribution (including the use of offshore facilities and labor), complexity of supported environment, technologies employed and other pertinent factors.

	(v)		The Benchmarker shall use normalization techniques that the Benchmarker deems appropriate to use to make such adjustments. The Benchmarker shall fully explain its normalization techniques to Supplier and Customer.

	(vi)		Customer and Supplier agree (A) that the Benchmarker will conduct the Benchmark Process in accordance with the Benchmarker’s own policies, methodologies, and practices, (B) to consult with each other regularly and cooperate reasonably with the Benchmarker in the Benchmark Process activities, and (C) that Customer shall serve as the Benchmarker’s primary point of contact; provided, however, that Customer shall provide Supplier with the opportunity to participate in any substantive discussions with the Benchmarker that relate to Supplier’s role in the Benchmarking Process.

	(vii)		Customer will be permitted to disclose price and cost information under this Agreement to the Benchmarker, subject to execution of a Confidentiality Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

Page 18 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

			12. Supplier shall not be obligated to disclose to the Benchmarker (A) data with respect to any other Supplier Customers or proprietary information of other Supplier Customers or other Third Parties, (B) proprietary information of Supplier not related to Customer and the Services; or (C) any internal margin or cost data.

	(viii)		All information provided to and obtained from the Benchmarker shall be provided to both Supplier and Customer unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Such information and the Benchmarker’s report shall be deemed to be Confidential Information under the Agreement and shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement executed with the Benchmarker.

	(ix)		Customer shall not engage a Benchmarker on a contingent fee basis and shall pay all charges incurred to the Benchmarker.

(d) Benchmark Results.

	(i)		The Benchmarker shall provide the data, analysis and findings, including any supporting documentation, for the Services to Supplier and Customer as appropriate throughout the Benchmark Process.

	(ii)		The Benchmarker shall prepare the complete “Benchmark Results” (i.e., a normalized analysis of the Comparators charges to the Charges) promptly, but no later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Benchmark Process by the Benchmarker. If the Benchmarker is for any reason unable to complete the Benchmarking Process within the time period set forth in this Section, the Parties will reasonably extend such period to allow the Benchmarker to complete the Benchmarking Process.

(e) Benchmark Review. Upon completion of the Benchmark Process, Customer and Supplier shall review the Benchmark Results during the thirty (30) day period following delivery to Customer and Supplier of the Benchmark Results, and shall in good faith discuss any appropriate adjustments to the applicable Service Level Agreement or Charges under this Agreement, and identify and resolve any disagreements or variances from the Benchmark Results. If the Benchmark Results show that the relevant Charges are less than five percent (5%) higher than the normalized charges paid by the average of the Comparators that were the subject of such Benchmarking Process of the relevant sample, then there will be no change in the Charges. If the results show that the relevant Charges are more than five percent (5%) greater than the normalized charges paid by the average of the Comparators, then the Parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith a plan to reduce the Charges so as to eliminate any such unfavorable variance (i.e., such that the relevant Charges for the Services are not more than five percent (5%) higher than the normalized charges paid by the average of the Comparators), with any such agreed-upon adjustment to the Charges to be made on a prospective basis only beginning thirty (30) days after the Benchmark Process is completed. The plan shall not call for changes to the Services included within the factors for which the Benchmarker adjusted Supplier’s Charges

Page 19 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

downward in making its comparison (e.g., Service Levels that were lower than those of the Comparators). If the Parties fail to agree upon a plan to reduce the Charges, or if Supplier fails to implement the agreed plan, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Customer, Customer will have the right to terminate the Agreement, in whole or of the benchmarked Statement of Work, upon payment of the applicable Termination Charges described in the applicable Statements(s) of Work.

(f) Access and Confidentiality. Any Benchmarker engaged by Customer shall agree in writing to be bound by the applicable security provisions specified in the Agreement and any reasonable and generally applicable security guidelines and processes of Supplier. Each Party shall co-operate fully with the Benchmarker and shall provide reasonable access to the Benchmarker during such effort to permit Benchmarker to perform the Benchmarking.

(g) Cooperation and Assistance. Each Party will provide, and ensure that its subcontractors (excluding in the case of Customer, Supplier and its subcontractors) provide, all necessary cooperation, information, documents and assistance reasonably required to perform the Benchmarking.

(h) No Increase in Charges. Benchmarking shall not result in any increase in any Charges to Customer.

4.6. Rights of Set-Off

Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, with respect to any amount to be paid or reimbursed to Customer by Supplier, at the time any such amount is due and payable to Customer, Supplier may pay that amount to Customer by applying a credit for the month such amount is due and payable against the Charges otherwise payable to Supplier under the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount to be so paid or reimbursed by Supplier in any specific month exceeds the Charges to Customer for such month, Supplier shall promptly pay any difference to Customer by check within thirty (30) days of the date when due. With respect to any amount that (i) should be reimbursed to Customer under this Agreement; or (ii) is otherwise payable to Customer pursuant to this Agreement, Customer may deduct the entire undisputed amount owed to Customer against the Charges otherwise payable or expenses owed to Supplier under this Agreement.

4.7. Disputed Charges/Credits

(a) General. In the event that Customer disputes the accuracy or applicability of a charge or credit or other financial arrangement described in this Agreement, Customer shall notify Supplier of such dispute as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than the payment due date of such invoice) after the discrepancy has been discovered. Such notice will include a description of the particular Charges in dispute and a detailed explanation of the reason why Customer disputes such Charges. The Parties will investigate and resolve the dispute using the Dispute Resolution Procedures. Any recurring monthly Charges (e.g., Base Charges) and undisputed amounts contained in or applicable to an invoice or otherwise payable will be paid by Customer, and any undisputed credit amounts will be promptly credited by Customer. Unpaid and uncredited monies that are, reasonably and in good faith, in dispute will not be considered a

Page 20 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

basis for monetary default under, or a breach of, the Agreement during the pendency of such dispute, subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 4.7.

(b) Payment Under Protest. If the total Charges then under dispute pursuant to this Section 4.7 exceed $**, Customer shall pay the amount exceeding the $** to Supplier under protest. All amounts determined through the Dispute Resolution Procedures to be owed by one Party to the other Party shall be paid or credited promptly upon resolution of the Dispute, together with interest at the lesser of (i) the highest rate allowed by Law and (ii) ** percent simple interest per month, pro-rated for partial months.

4.8. Reserved

4.9. Changes in Customer Business

(a) Changes in Customer’s Business. If during the Term, Customer experiences or reasonably anticipates within the next three (3) months significant changes in the scope or nature of its business which have or are reasonably expected to have the effect of causing a substantive and sustained increase or decrease in the amount of Supplier resources used in performing the Services under one or more Statements of Work (i.e., causing the estimated average monthly amount of any ** or more unrelated chargeable Resource Units in any single Statement of Work to increase or decrease by ** percent or more over at least the next six (6) consecutive months), such changes shall be governed by this Section 4.9, provided any decreases are not due to Customer’s resuming the provision of such Services by itself or Customer transferring the provision of such Services to another Third Party provider. Examples of the kinds of events that might cause such substantial increases or decreases include but are not limited to: (i) sudden changes in Customer’s products or markets; (ii) mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; (iii) dramatic unanticipated changes in market priorities; or (iv) material unanticipated change in demand for Customer’s products.

(b) Plan for Adjustment. Customer will notify Supplier of any event or discrete set of closely-related events which Customer believes qualifies under this Section 4.9, and Supplier will identify any changes to the affected Statement(s) of Work that can be made to accommodate such decrease or increase of resource requirements in a cost-effective manner without disruption to Customer’s ongoing operations or Supplier’s ability to perform the Services in accordance with the Service Levels and other obligations under this Agreement, and the cost savings that will result therefrom, in a plan that will be submitted to Customer for review and acceptance. Such changes shall equitably account for any efficiencies, economies or reduced or increased resource requirements resulting from any changes in the Services proposed by Supplier, and provide for changes to the Charges and other terms that have been determined on a commercially reasonable basis consistent with the other Charges and terms; provided, that Customer will reimburse Supplier for any net costs or expenses incurred to realize such efficiencies, economies, or reduced or increased resource requirements if and to the extent Supplier (i) notifies Customer of such additional costs and obtains Customer’s approval prior to incurring such costs, (ii) uses commercially reasonable efforts to identify and consider practical alternatives, and reasonably determines that there is no other more practical way to obtain such savings without incurring such expenses and (iii) uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the additional costs to be reimbursed by Customer.

Page 21 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(c) Implementation of Adjustment. Upon acceptance by Customer, Supplier will make any applicable adjustments to the Charges and other terms to reflect the foregoing and distribute an amended “Charges” Schedule and executed Change Order to the affected Statements of Work to the Parties.

5. COVENANTS

5.1. Covenant of Cooperation and Good Faith

Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to retain individuals in Key Supplier Positions for at least twelve (12) months, and other than for cause, may not remove a person from his or her position in a Key Supplier Position without Customer’s prior written Consent. Supplier will not assign the Key Personnel to work on accounts of Customer Competitors while such employees are Key Personnel and for twelve (12) months thereafter. As used in this Section 9.3, “cause” shall mean voluntary resignation, involuntary termination for poor performance, or as necessary for Supplier to comply with this Agreement, or other demonstrable good cause, illness, disability, or death.

	(ii)		Before assigning an individual to a Key Supplier Position, Supplier will (a) notify Customer of the proposed assignment, (b) introduce the individual to appropriate Customer Account Manager (and provide such representatives with the opportunity to interview the individual), and (c) provide Customer with a résumé and other information about the individual requested by Customer. If Customer objects in good faith for any reason that is not unlawful to the proposed assignment, Supplier will not assign the individual to the Key Supplier Position and will promptly propose to Customer another highly qualified individual to serve in such Key Supplier Position. Except for cause or with Customer’s Consent, Key Personnel may not be transferred or re-assigned until a suitable replacement has been approved by Customer. Any replacement of Key Personnel must be conducted in accordance with a mutually agreed upon transition plan in accordance with Section 9.3(c) (Supplier Personnel Transition Plan). If any Key Personnel leaves his or her employment with Supplier for cause, Supplier may temporarily replace such person with a qualified

Page 35 of 82

			person without Customer’s approval until a permanent replacement has been identified and approved by Customer. Customer’s approval of replacements for Key Personnel will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as a transition plan has been agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 9.3(c) (Supplier Personnel Transition Plan).

	(iii)		The personnel approved as of the Effective Date to fill the Key Supplier Positions are listed in Schedule B to, or as the Supplier Project Managers for, the applicable Statement of Work. As part of the Transition Plan for each Statement of Work, the Parties will agree upon time periods for filling vacant Key Supplier Positions.

(b) Turnover Rate. Supplier will annually measure and report to Customer the turnover rate of dedicated Supplier employees and subcontractors working on Customer’s account (i.e., providing Services on a full time or substantially full time basis). Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a turnover rate for such Supplier employees and subcontractors of less than twenty-five percent (25%) per Contract Year.

	(i)		Supplier will notify Customer promptly upon determining that any Key Personnel will no longer be serving in a Key Supplier Position. Where practicable, notice will be delivered to Customer at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Person will cease to serve in such role.

	(ii)		In addition to providing notice to Customer pursuant to Subsection 9.3(c)(i) above, Supplier will cause Key Personnel not to be removed or re-assigned from their positions and to continue to provide Services until the Parties reach mutual agreement regarding a transition plan, unless (a) otherwise requested by Customer or (b) the continued performance of any such Person in such role is impossible due to cause including illness, disability, death or termination of employment. The Parties will promptly begin to negotiate in good faith the terms of the transition plan for the departing personnel immediately following Supplier’s delivery of notice pursuant to Subsection 9.3(c)(i) above. Each transition plan will be developed by the Parties on a case-by-case basis for any departing personnel and will be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties. All transition plans will include at least the following: (a) technical requirements (if not already defined), (b) a timetable for integration of the replacement personnel into the Key Supplier Position, and (c) replacement methodology designed to minimize the loss of knowledge as a result of losing the Key Personnel.

Page 36 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(iii)

Supplier will assume all costs and expenses associated with the (a) departure or re-assignment of all Key Personnel and (b) development and implementation of the transition plan, including costs and expenses associated with “knowledge transfer,” integration and training of replacement personnel.

(d) Customer Requested Replacement of Supplier Personnel. If Customer determines in good faith and for reasons that are not unlawful, that the continued assignment to the Customer account of any Supplier personnel is not in the best interests of Customer, then the Customer Account Manager may request by notice that Supplier replace any such natural Person with another qualified individual. After receipt of such notice, Supplier will immediately remove such Person from the Customer account and replace such Person with Supplier personnel possessing qualifications and skills appropriate to the position.

(e) Background Investigations. All personnel of Supplier and (unless Customer otherwise consents) its subcontractors who will perform any of the Services, or any part thereof or related thereto, or will have access to any of Customer’s Company Information will have been subjected to a background check. Supplier shall not assign any personnel to Customer’s account or otherwise permit any of its personnel to have access to Customer’s Company Information who have been found to have engaged in criminal acts in violation of Supplier’s policies and procedures including such criminal acts that involve fraud, dishonesty, or breach of trust, or constitute a felony under applicable law. Supplier’s existing policy and procedures (including the scope of Supplier’s background checks and the criminal acts for which employment candidates are disqualified from consideration for employment) are described in Exhibit 13.

(f) Independent Contractor: Employees. Neither Supplier nor Supplier’s employees are or shall be deemed to be employees of Customer. Supplier shall be solely responsible for the payment of compensation (including provision for employment taxes, federal, state and local income taxes, workers compensation and any similar taxes) associated with the employment of Supplier’s employees. Supplier shall also be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all requisite work permits, visas, and any other documentation for its and its Supplier Representatives’ personnel.

9.4. Use of Subcontractors

(a) Financial Limitations on Subcontracting. Supplier may not, without Customer’s written Consent, subcontract Services (whether to a pre-approved Supplier subcontractor or otherwise) that generate more than ** percent of the Charges (excluding Pass Through Charges) under any Statement of Work; provided, however that Supplier may enter into a subcontract that exceeds such twenty percent (20%) limitation if necessary to (A) reduce the impact of a Force Majeure Event or a disaster or (B) avoid an emergency situation, except that in such case Supplier will mitigate the use of subcontractors in excess of such percentage. Consistent with the foregoing, Supplier may subcontract routine services and other services customarily purchased from third parties, including facilities maintenance, hardware and software maintenance, security, storage and other ancillary services.

Page 37 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(b) Other Limitations on Subcontracting. In addition to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) above, Supplier may not, without the written Consent of Customer, (i) subcontract any of the Critical Functions to a Third Party, or (ii) subcontract any of the Services to a Customer Competitor.

	(i)		Supplier is responsible for the performance of all Supplier subcontractors, and Supplier will continually monitor and manage such Supplier subcontractors. Supplier will remain responsible for all obligations under this Agreement performed by any Supplier subcontractors to the same extent as if such obligations were performed by Supplier’s employees, and the applicable Service Level Agreement will apply to all Services subcontracted by Supplier. Supplier will remain Customer’s sole point of contact regarding the Services.

	(ii)		Even if an inadequacy in a Supplier subcontractor’s performance does not amount to a breach of this Agreement, if Customer is reasonably dissatisfied with the performance of any Supplier subcontractor, Customer will promptly provide Supplier notice and Supplier and Customer will discuss and implement, as soon as possible thereafter, a means for Supplier to resolve the issue to Customer’s satisfaction. If Supplier does not resolve the issue within a reasonable amount of time (as specified by Customer), Supplier will, as soon as reasonably practicable, replace such Supplier subcontractor with a Person that meets Customer’s standards, or perform the activities itself.

	(iii)		Supplier will be responsible for the payment of all Supplier subcontractors hired by Supplier for services performed after the Effective Date.

	(iv)		Supplier will provide in its agreements with Supplier subcontractors such written provisions as are sufficient to enable Supplier to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Such provisions will include the subcontractor’s obligation to keep confidential the Company Information of Customer and to assign any Intellectual Property Rights to the extent that such rights are to be assigned to or owned by Customer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each subcontract hereunder shall, unless Customer otherwise Consents, contain provisions specifying that: (1) the Supplier subcontractor specifically agrees that Supplier shall have the right to assign such subcontract to Customer; (2) the Supplier subcontractor, in the case of a subcontract pursuant to which Supplier is the licensee of Supplier-Licensed Software, consents to Supplier’s: (x) assumption pursuant to 11 U.S.C.

Page 38 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

Section 365(a), and (y) assignment pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 365(f), of such license in the event of Supplier’s bankruptcy, notwithstanding the provisions of 11 U.S.C. Section 365(c)(1); and (3) except as otherwise provided herein, nothing contained in such subcontract, or under this Agreement, shall create any contractual relation between the Supplier subcontractor and Customer prior to the assignment contemplated by Subsection (1) above.

(d) Designation of Subcontractors. Prior to each Commencement Date, the Parties will develop and prepare and/or augment a list of subcontractors to which Customer Consents and that the Parties agree may be engaged by Supplier to perform and deliver the part or portion of the Services indicated on such list. With respect to subcontractors which are not so listed but that require Customer’s Consent in accordance with Section 9.4(a) or 9.4(b) above, Supplier shall notify Customer in writing, at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the proposed date of commencement of such subcontractors’ activity with respect to Customer or the Services, of a request to delegate or subcontract any part of the Services that requires Customer’s Consent in accordance with Section 9.4(a) or 9.4(b) above. Upon Customer’s request, Supplier shall promptly provide to Customer information regarding such proposed new or replacement subcontractors in order to permit Customer to determine whether to grant its Consent to such delegation or subcontract, or change of delegation or subcontract. Such information shall include the scope of the Services to be delegated, the experience, financial status and resources of the proposed subcontractors, and Supplier’s selection criteria for the proposed subcontractor and conclusions regarding its selections. In addition, Supplier shall not disclose any Company Information of Customer to any subcontractor unless and until such subcontractor has agreed in writing to protect and treat the confidentiality of such Company Information in a manner equivalent to that required of Supplier by Section 11.

(e) Cooperation with Customer. Each subcontractor engaged by Supplier to perform a portion of the Services will make, execute and deliver to Customer such disclosures and agreements as Customer may from time to time reasonably request in order to comport with the requirements of applicable laws, regulations, rules and Third Party Agreements.

(f) Replacement. In the event that any Supplier subcontractor shall commit a material breach of the provisions of Section 11 of the Agreement, Supplier shall promptly remove such subcontractor from providing any Services under the Agreement upon request by Customer. In addition, Supplier (i) shall notify Customer immediately in the event it becomes aware (x) there is a Change of Control of any Supplier subcontractor, or (y) any Supplier subcontractor enters into or files (or has filed or commenced against it) a petition, arrangement, application, action or other proceeding seeking relief or protection under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or any similar laws of the United States or any state of the United States; and (ii) shall promptly remove such subcontractor from providing any Services under the Agreement upon request by Customer.

	(iv)		Customer Responsibilities and Conditions to Supplier’s Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer will retain financial and legal responsibility for all Managed Agreements including responsibility for Required Consents and any breaches not caused by Supplier, its subcontractors or Affiliates. Nothing contained in such Managed Agreement, or under this Agreement, shall create any contractual relationship between the Third Party Provider and Supplier or any of its subcontractors or Affiliates.

Supplier shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to require all Supplier subcontractors for which Customer’s consent is required under Section 9.4 to comply with the applicable provisions of this Section 9.9 by insertion of the requirements hereof in a written agreement between Supplier and each Supplier subcontractor. Supplier shall notify Customer in advance of executing any such subcontract that does not contain these requirements.

	(v)		Survival. Supplier’s obligations under this Section 9.9 shall extend beyond the applicable Statement of Work Term through the end of the first full calendar year after the calendar year in which Supplier stopped performing the Services.

	(vi)		Auditors. Customer shall not use Supplier Competitors or auditors on a contingent fee basis to perform audits under this Section unless otherwise approved by Supplier in its sole discretion. Prior to receiving access to Supplier Confidential Information or facilities, external auditors, inspectors, regulators or representatives designated by Customer (other than government auditors, inspectors, regulators or representatives) shall execute a Confidentiality Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12.

(h) Action Plan. As part of the Services, in the event any Audit reveals a deficiency or material weakness with respect to the controls for which Supplier is operationally responsible, Supplier shall provide Customer and Customer’s Customer Auditors with a plan of action to correct the deficiency or material weakness, which plan of action shall be subject to Customer’s written approval and shall, at a minimum, include: (i) details of actions to be taken by Supplier and/or its subcontractors to correct the deficiency or material weakness, and (ii) target dates for successful correction of the deficiency or material weakness (“Action Plan”). Supplier shall provide the Action Plan within ten (10) Business Days of Supplier’s identification or Customer’s notice of such deficiency or material weakness. Supplier shall also provide Customer with notice of (1) Supplier’s successful completion of each action identified in the Action Plan; and (2) any delays in Supplier’s completion of the actions identified in the Action Plan, accompanied by an explanation of the cause of such delay. Any failure by Supplier to

provide an Action Plan reasonably acceptable to Customer or to execute any approved Action Plan shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

The costs of Audits shall be borne as follows: (i) Supplier shall be responsible for its costs to perform (including any Supplier subcontractors’ costs) the Supplier Audits for each Supplier Location from which the Services are provided for which the report is generally made available to other Supplier customers, and for Supplier’s and Supplier subcontractors’ reasonable cooperation and provision of access for Customer Audits; and (ii) Customer shall be responsible for all costs associated with any other Supplier Audits and with Customer Audits (other than Supplier’s reasonable cooperation and provision of access), except as provided for in Section 9.9(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Supplier’s provision of services related to a Customer Audit or Regulatory Audit requires use of additional resources which Supplier would not otherwise use in the performance of the Services or otherwise increases Supplier’s personnel or other costs, then the Parties shall use the Change Control Procedures to address any additional resources needed or costs to be incurred by, and appropriate compensation to, Supplier.

(j) Document Retention. Supplier shall retain all records, documents and data required to be maintained by it under the Agreement for such period as may be specified in any Statement of Work or as required by the document retention policies of Customer provided to Supplier from time to time. All such records, documents and data shall be maintained in such format (for example, in paper or electronic form) as Customer may direct (provided that if such format is different from that in use by Supplier or specified in this Agreement, this shall be at Customer’s expense if Supplier notifies Customer of such expense and obtains Customer’s prior written approval prior to incurring such expense).

(k) Site Visits. Subject to Section 9.9(g), Customer and/or its representatives (other than Supplier Competitors) may conduct reasonable site visits at any Service Locations located outside the United States during normal business hours and upon reasonable written notice. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall have the same audit rights provided for above in this Section 9.9 with respect any Service Locations located outside the United States.

If Customer requests certain Changes to the technology or methodologies Supplier uses to provide the Services as a result of such discussions, the Parties will discuss implementation of any such new technology and methodologies in accordance with the applicable Procedures Manual and Change Control Procedures. If such Changes requested by Customer would result in cost savings to Supplier, then the Parties will negotiate, in good faith, a reduction to the Charges that results from the implementation of such Changes. If such Changes requested by Customer would result in additional cost to Supplier, then the Parties will negotiate, in good faith, an increase to the Charges that results from the implementation of such Changes

(b) Notice and Process for Implementation. In all instances, Supplier must provide Customer sufficient notice of Supplier’s intent to implement new technology or methodologies that could impact the Services, and sufficient information in order that Customer may analyze the effect of the new technology or methodologies on Customer’s internal systems and applications.

(c) Supplier Review and Analysis. Supplier shall, with respect to any new technology or methodologies proposed by Supplier after the Effective Date that comprise or could impact the Services, or that would constitute New Services, analyze and consider applicable industry standard technology or methodologies (including technology or methodologies manufactured or owned by Supplier competitors) prior to making a recommendation to Customer. Supplier’s review and analysis of, and recommendation for, any such new technology or methodologies shall be conducted in accordance with the Account Governance Exhibit and shall, at a minimum, take into account Customer’s best interests, including but not limited to Customer’s ability to insource the Services or outsource the Services to a Successor Supplier upon any termination or expiration of the Agreement or any Service.

In addition, Supplier will (subject to Customer’s obligations under Section 9.5) use the Customer Software in compliance with any applicable use restrictions (i) that are disclosed by Customer to Supplier in writing, and (ii) that are contained in the agreements governing the use of any Customer-Licensed Software that are provided by Customer to Supplier to the extent Customer complied with such duties prior to Supplier’s use thereof. Where Customer was not compliant, Supplier shall use reasonable commercial efforts to become compliant with such duties as soon as reasonably possible. Supplier shall establish an access control procedure designed to limit Supplier’s access and use accordingly.

(c) Integration with Supplier Assets. Supplier shall be responsible for determining whether Customer Software will integrate with the Supplier Assets and shall pay all reasonable costs associated with any testing required by Supplier in connection with such integration.

(i)

Upon Customer’s request, Supplier agrees to disclose and promptly furnish to Customer any and all Software, computer or other specifications, documentation, or other works of authorship created by Supplier or any of its Supplier Representatives in the course of Services performed under this Agreement (“Work Product”). Customer shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Work Product created hereunder, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. Supplier expressly acknowledges that the Parties have agreed that all aspects of the Work Product and all work in process in connection therewith are to be considered “works made for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended (the “Copyright Act”), and that Customer is to be the “author” within the meaning of such act. All such copyrightable Work Product, as well as all copies of such Work Product in whatever medium fixed or embodied, shall be owned exclusively by Customer as its creation, and Supplier hereby expressly disclaims any interest in any of them. Unless a Statement of Work or Schedule sets forth otherwise in connection with such Work Product, Customer hereby grants to Supplier a worldwide, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, display, copy and make Derivative Works of the Work Product solely for the purpose of providing the Services to Customer under this Agreement.

Page 54 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

			faith a financial arrangement pursuant to which Customer shall recoup the costs borne by it in connection with the development of such Work Product and provide Supplier with a license to such works.

	(ii)		In the event (and to the extent) that the Work Product created by Supplier and its Supplier Representatives hereunder or any part or element thereof is found as a matter of law not to be a “work made for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act, Supplier hereby irrevocably conveys and assigns (and in the case of Work Product not yet developed, hereby covenants upon their development to irrevocably convey and assign) to Customer the sole and exclusive right, title and interest in the ownership to all such Work Product, without further consideration, and agrees to reasonably assist Customer to register (at Customer’s expense), and from time to time to enforce, all Intellectual Property Rights and other rights and protections relating to the Work Product created hereunder in any and all countries. Supplier will maintain written agreements with its Supplier Representatives who perform Services hereunder containing such assignments, rights and covenants as are required to provide Customer the rights provided for in this paragraph to the Intellectual Property Rights and Work Product.

Supplier shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Supplier Developed Materials, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. All such copyrightable Supplier Developed Materials, as well as all copies of such Supplier Developed Materials in whatever medium fixed or embodied, shall be owned exclusively by Supplier as its creation, and Customer hereby expressly disclaims any interest in any of them. Unless a Statement of Work or Schedule sets forth otherwise in connection with such Supplier Developed Materials, Supplier hereby grants to Customer a license to use such Supplier Developed Materials as described in Section 10.4(b).

(d) Third Party Materials. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the ownership of Derivative Works, modifications, improvements and enhancements of Third Party Software or other materials (and all Intellectual Property Rights therein) created in the course of providing Services shall, as between Supplier and Customer, be owned by the Party that is the licensee of such Third Party materials. For purposes of the foregoing, Supplier shall be deemed

Page 55 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

the licensee of such Third Party materials licensed by its Subcontractors or Affiliates and Customer shall be deemed the licensee of such Third Party materials licensed by Customer Affiliates or its Third Party contractors. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that its ownership of such materials may be subject to or limited by the terms of the underlying agreement with the owner of the underlying materials. Except as otherwise approved in writing (including in the applicable “Third Party Agreements” Schedule) in connection with Supplier Third Party Agreements, Supplier will not, without the written Consent of Customer, use any such materials primarily for the provision of the Services that would reasonably be anticipated to preclude or limit, as applicable Customer’s rights under Sections 10.5(a) or (b).

(e) Pre-existing Materials. If the Work Product, or the use, sale or manufacture of the Inventions, requires the use of Supplier Developed Materials or other inventions or materials previously made, developed or copyrighted by Supplier or its Affiliates, and not originated or developed hereunder (“Pre-existing Materials”), then Supplier grants and agrees to grant to Customer a royalty-free license to make, use, sell, have made, copy, modify, distribute, display and perform the inventions, information or other aspects of the Pre-existing Materials, but only to the extent necessary to make, use, sell, have made, copy, modify, distribute, display and perform the Inventions and/or Work Product originated or developed as a result of the Services performed under this Agreement and not as a “stand-alone” product or separately from such Inventions or Work Product.

(f) Embedded Supplier Software. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.5(c) and except to the extent otherwise agreed by Customer in writing, if Supplier incorporates or embeds any Supplier Software into any Customer Software or Work Product, Supplier or its Supplier Representative(s), as applicable, hereby grants, and agrees to grant, to Customer a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use and create Derivative Works of such Software (i) to the extent necessary to use or maintain such Work Product for the purposes of Customer and its Affiliates and (ii) solely as used in such Work Product and not as a “stand-alone” product or separately from such Work Product in which it is embedded.

(g) Knowledge Capital. Nothing in this Agreement will preclude Supplier from marketing, developing or using for itself or others, services or products that are the same as or similar to those provided to Customer or its Affiliates by Supplier pursuant to this Agreement, as long as such services or products do not infringe upon any Intellectual Property Rights of Customer or its Affiliates in any Customer Software, Customer Company Information, Customer Data, Inventions, or Work Product. Each Party will continue to be free to use its general knowledge, skills and experience, and to use and disclose any generalized ideas, concepts, know-how and techniques that are acquired or used during the course of this Agreement, provided that such use or dislosure does not involve the use or disclosure of any Company Information or other proprietary materials belonging to the other Party. This Section 10.5 will not diminish either Party’s obligations regarding Confidential Information under Section 11.2.

(h) Moral Rights. With respect to Work Product or other materials that are created by Supplier or any of its Supplier Representatives and delivered to Customer under the Agreement, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.5, Supplier acknowledges that it is responsible for assuring that it has obtained to the extent permitted under applicable Law a

In addition, application of any of the foregoing exclusions to any element within or subset of the Customer Data shall not be deemed to extend to any larger category of the Customer Data or to the Customer Data in the aggregate. Further, either Party may disclose the other Party’s Company Information to the extent required by Law or order of a court or governmental agency. However, in the event of disclosure pursuant to an order of Court or governmental agency, and subject to compliance with law or such order of Court or governmental agency, the recipient of such Company Information shall give the disclosing Party prompt notice to permit the disclosing Party an opportunity, if available, to obtain a protective order or otherwise protect the confidentiality of such information, all at the disclosing Party’s cost and expense. If this Agreement, or portions thereof, are required under applicable Laws to be publicly disclosed as part of an exhibit to required public disclosure documents of either Party (or its Affiliates) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the disclosing Party shall promptly notify the other Party and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek approval from the Securities and

Page 58 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

Exchange Commission or other applicable regulatory authority for the redaction of certain Company Information mutually identified by the Parties. Prior to any such disclosure or filing, the disclosing Party shall redact such portions of the Agreement that the other Party reasonably requests to be redacted, unless, the disclosing Party concludes, based on the opinion of outside legal counsel, that such redaction request is not permitted by the disclosing Party’s obligations under applicable Laws.

The receipt of Company Information under the Agreement will not limit or restrict assignment or reassignment of employees of Supplier and Customer within or between the respective Parties and their Affiliates.

(a) Data Ownership. All Customer Company Information (including Customer Data) whether in existence at the Commencement Date of a Statement of Work or compiled thereafter in the course of performing the Services, shall be treated by Supplier and its subcontractors as the exclusive property of Customer and the furnishing of such Customer Company Information, or access to such items, by Supplier and/or its subcontractors shall not grant any express or implied interest in Supplier and/or its subcontractors relating to such Customer Company Information, and Supplier’s and its subcontractors’ use of such Customer Company Information shall be limited to such use as is necessary to perform and provide the Services to Customer.

(b) Copies of Data for Customer. Upon written request to Supplier, Supplier will return the Customer Data to Customer on such media and in such format as reasonably requested by Customer (provided that if such form is different from that in use by Supplier or specified in this Agreement, this shall be at Customer’s expense if Supplier notifies Customer of such expense and obtains Customer’s prior written approval prior to incurring such expense). Supplier will never refuse for any reason, including Customer’s material breach of this Agreement, to provide Customer with the Customer Data in accordance with this paragraph. Supplier hereby agrees that Customer may obtain injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 11.4(b). As a part of Supplier’s obligation to provide Customer Data pursuant to this paragraph, Supplier will also provide Customer any data maps, documentation, software, or other materials necessary for Customer to use, translate, interpret, extract and convert the Customer Data for use by Customer or any Third Party.

11.5. Loss of or Unauthorized Access to Company Information; Intrusions

(a) Risk of Data Loss. Supplier shall, consistent with scope of Assets for which Supplier has operational responsibility under the Asset Allocation Matrix or other portion of the applicable Statement(s) of Work, develop and maintain appropriate security procedures, policies and internal controls against the destruction, loss or alteration of Customer Data in the possession of Supplier, which procedures shall be (i) for Supplier Locations no less than industry standard and (ii) for Customer Locations, no less rigorous than the procedures utilized by Customer at such locations as of the Statement of Work Commencement Date, and shall include the creation of backup data and such other plans and procedures as may be implemented from time to time in accordance with the Procedures Manual. When Customer Data is in Supplier’s

Page 59 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

possession or under Supplier’s control and an event occurs that prevents or hinders the access to or reliable use of such Customer Data, Supplier will re-create or restore such data promptly, or in any case, as soon as reasonably practicable using generally accepted data restoration techniques, including utilization of last available back-up. Supplier will not charge Customer for the re-creation or restoration of such data, if such re-creation or restoration is required solely because of an error by Supplier or is otherwise necessitated as the result of an act or omission by Supplier in violation of its obligations under this Agreement. Otherwise, Supplier may charge Customer for actual personnel and other costs incurred by Supplier in re-creating and restoring the data; provided, however, that Supplier will consult with Customer before performing such re-creation or restoration, and Customer may, at its discretion, direct Supplier not to restore or recreate the data.

(b) Notice of Violations. The receiving Party will immediately notify the disclosing Party, in writing in the event of any use or disclosure in violation of the Agreement of a disclosing Party’s Company Information known to the receiving Party.

11.6. Data Privacy

(a) Customer shall be and remain the controller of the Customer Data and other Customer Company Information for purposes of all applicable laws relating to data privacy, personal data, transborder data flow and data protection (collectively, the “Privacy Laws”), with rights to determine the purposes for which the Customer Data and other information is processed, and nothing in the Agreement will restrict or limit in any way Customer’s rights or obligations as owner and/or controller of its data and information for such purposes. As the controller of such data and other information of Customer, Customer will direct Supplier’s use of and access to the Customer Data and other information, which such use and access shall in all cases be solely in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and, with respect to “personal data” (as defined under Directive 95/46/EC), with the Standard Contractual Clauses (for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries, under Directive 95/46/EC), the form of which is attached as Exhibit 19, as entered into by the Parties from time to time in connection with Supplier’s use of or access to the Customer Data and other personal information. The Parties also acknowledge and agree that Supplier may have certain additional responsibilities prescribed as of the Effective Date by applicable Privacy Laws or by Customer’s privacy policies as an entity with use of, access to and possibly custody of the Customer Data and information and Supplier hereby acknowledges such responsibilities and agrees that such responsibilities will be considered a part of the Services to be provided by Supplier under the Agreement.

(b) If Privacy Laws or Customer’s privacy policies applicable to the activities contemplated by the Agreement are modified, amended or re-interpreted, or if new Privacy Laws that are applicable to such activities come into effect, Supplier shall, as part of the Services, cooperate with Customer in an effort to continue to comply with such Privacy Laws and privacy policies, as the same are modified, newly enacted, amended or interpreted, but to the extent that such modifications, enactments, amendments or interpretations expand the scope or increase the cost of the activities previously undertaken by Supplier, Supplier will, at Customer’ reasonable request, provide such additional activities as New Services; provided, however, that Customer shall not be obligated for any additional Charges with respect to any additional responsibilities

imposed on Supplier as a processor of data in the ordinary course of its business and Supplier shall not be obligated for any amounts with respect to any additional responsibilities imposed on Customer as a controller of data in the ordinary course of its business.

Neither Party will be responsible for the security of the Company Information of the other party during transmission via public communications facilities, except to the extent that such breach of security is caused by the failure of such Party to perform its obligations under the Agreement, or acts or omissions in breach of the Agreement, in the case of Supplier, by Supplier or its Affiliates or subcontractors or their respective employees, and in the case of Customer, by Customer or its Affiliates or their respective contractors or subcontractors.

12. TERMINATION

12.1. Termination

(a) Material Breach.

	(i)		In the event of a material breach of the Agreement by Supplier that remains uncured for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier describing the breach in all reasonable detail (provided that if Supplier begins promptly and works diligently and in good faith to cure such breach in accordance with this provision and such breach is not capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, Supplier may have up to thirty (30) additional days to cure such breach if it demonstrates that it is capable of curing such breach within the additional period and the breach does not materially impair the ability of Customer to conduct its business), Customer may terminate the Agreement or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination) upon written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier.

	(ii)		In the event of a material breach of a Statement of Work by Supplier that remains uncured for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier describing the breach in all reasonable detail (provided that if Supplier begins promptly and works diligently and in good faith to cure such breach in accordance with this provision and such breach is not

Page 61 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

			capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, Supplier may have up to thirty (30) additional days to cure such breach if it demonstrates that it is capable of curing such breach within the additional period and the breach does not materially impair the ability of Customer to conduct its business), Customer may terminate the affected Statement of Work or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination) upon written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier.

	(iii)		Upon the occurrence of a Service Level Termination Event (as defined in the Service Level Agreement), Customer may terminate the applicable Statement of Work or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination) upon written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier as provided in such Statement of Work.

(b) Persistent Breach.

	(i)		If (A) Supplier commits, in any rolling ** month period, a series of material breaches of the Agreement that are the same or substantially the same but are cured within the permissible periods after individual written notices from Customer as described in Section 12.1(a)(i), and (B) within thirty (30) days after written notice from Customer, fails to give adequate assurances to Customer that the cause of such breaches has been corrected on a permanent basis, Customer may terminate the Agreement or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination) upon further written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier. If any such breach subsequently occurs within a reasonable period of time thereafter (i.e., it was not corrected on a permanent basis), Customer may terminate the Agreement or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination) upon further written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier.

	(ii)		If (A) Supplier commits, in any rolling ** month period, a series of non-material persistent breaches of the Agreement (of which Supplier has received individual notices from Customer describing the breach in all reasonable detail or is otherwise aware) that in the aggregate constitute a material breach of the Agreement, and (B) within thirty (30) days after written notice from Customer, fails to give adequate assurances to Customer that the causes of each such breach have been corrected on a permanent basis, Customer may terminate the Agreement or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in

Page 62 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

			a material way by their termination) upon further written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier.

	(iii)		If (A) Supplier commits, in any rolling ** month period, a series of material breaches of a Statement of Work that are the same or substantially the same but are cured within the permissible periods after individual written notices from Customer as described in Section 12.1(a)(i), and (B) within thirty (30) days after written notice from Customer, fails to give adequate assurances to Customer that the cause of such breaches has been corrected on a permanent basis, Customer may terminate the Statement of Work or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination) upon further written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier. If any such breach subsequently occurs within a reasonable period of time thereafter (i.e., it was not corrected on a permanent basis), Customer may terminate the Statement of Work or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination) upon further written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier.

	(iv)		If (A) Supplier commits, in any rolling ** month period, a series of non-material persistent breaches of a Statement of Work (of which Supplier has received individual notices from Customer describing the breach in all reasonable detail or is otherwise aware) that in the aggregate constitute a material breach of the Statement of Work, and (B) within thirty (30) days after written notice from Customer, fails to give adequate assurances to Customer that the causes of each such breach have been corrected on a permanent basis, Customer may terminate the Statement of Work or the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination) upon further written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier.

	(v)		For purposes of this Section 12.1(b) only, the failure to achieve a Service Level shall not constitute a material breach of the Agreement or a Statement of Work. Customer’s right to terminate for persistent breach with respect to Service Levels is as set forth in the Service Level Agreements.

(c) Convenience. Customer may, for convenience, terminate any Statement of Work upon one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice of the effective date of such termination, by Customer to Supplier In the event that a purported termination by Customer under this Section 12.1 is determined by a competent authority not to be proper under such provisions of this Agreement, then such termination by Customer shall be deemed to be a termination for convenience under this Section 12.1(c).

Page 63 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(d) Change of Control of Supplier. In the event of a Change of Control of Supplier where such Control is acquired, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, Customer may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to Supplier given not later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Change of Control.

(e) Damages Cap Exceeded. If either Party incurs direct damages to the other Party that are in excess of eighty percent (80%) of the applicable Direct Damages Cap, under the circumstances and resulting from the events described in Section 13.1(a) or (b), and such Party does not agree to reset to zero the direct damages counted toward the Direct Damages Cap within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice requesting to reset the Direct Damages Cap, the requesting Party may terminate this Agreement upon further written notice to the other Party given within thirty (30) days thereafter.

(f) Force Majeure Failure. If any Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders or delays for more than ** consecutive days Supplier’s performance of any Services necessary for the performance of functions reasonably deemed by Customer to be critical to the operation of its business, then (unless same is attributable to a failure of Customer or any applicable Customer Third Party Provider to perform, or properly perform, its obligations under this Agreement or to a failure of Customer’s Existing Disaster Recovery Plan) Customer may immediately terminate the affected Services (and any Services the performance of which would be adversely affected in a material way by their termination or, if the Force Majeure Event only affects one or more geographic areas, the Services in the areas so affected, provided the foregoing is commercially reasonable and does not impose undue financial, operational, or administrative burdens on Customer thereafter), upon written notice to Supplier. At such time as Supplier resumes providing the Services that were so prevented, hindered or delayed, any such unexercised termination right shall expire with respect to such Force Majeure Event.

(g) Termination for Governmental Authority Actions. If, during the Term, Customer and/or Customer Affiliates have been notified by a Governmental Authority that Customer and/or Customer’s Affiliates can no longer continue to outsource some or all of the Services outsourced to Supplier under this Agreement, Customer shall immediately notify Supplier. In the event of such notice, the Parties will meet within a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, at such time and at such place as the Parties will determine, and will use their best efforts to resolve the matter working cooperatively and in good faith within a further period of sixty (60) days. Any Changes, including a termination of any affected Statement of Work, but not the Agreement as a whole, will be handled in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. If the Parties are not able to resolve the matter within such period, Customer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement on at least six (6) months’ notice (unless a shorter period is required by the Governmental Authority). Supplier agrees to continue to provide the Services and provide Termination Assistance Services in accordance with this Agreement unless prohibited by the Governmental Authority.

(h) Critical Transition Milestone Failure. If any Critical Transition Milestone is not achieved by the date specified in the Transition Plan solely as a result of breach of the Agreement by Supplier, and Customer can reasonably demonstrate that the completion of the Transition Services will be delayed by more than sixty (60) days as a result of such breach, then unless and until the Transition Services are completed (or Supplier provides Customer with a

Page 64 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

reasonably acceptable plan to correct the failure within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of notice from Customer of such failure), Customer may terminate this Agreement as a whole or the affected Statement(s) of Work, at Customer’s election, by providing notice to Supplier of Customer’s election to so terminate, effective as of the date such notice is given or a later date specified in such notice, without providing Supplier any right to cure.

(i) Failure to Agree on Benchmark Adjustments. Customer will have the right to terminate the Agreement as a whole or the benchmarked Statement(s) of Work, as provided in Section 4.5(e).

(j) Non-payment. Supplier may terminate this Agreement for cause if Customer (i) does not pay amounts ** which are not the subject of a good faith dispute under Section 4.7 or fails to comply with Section 4.7, and (ii) does not cure such failure within ten (10) days of written notice from Supplier.

12.2. Termination Charges.

In the event of a partial termination of the Services or any Statement of Work by Customer pursuant to this Agreement, Customer shall provide Supplier with written notice of its intent to so terminate, which notice shall specify a termination date no less than thirty (30) days after the date of the notice, and the Charges for the portion of the Services so terminated shall be removed from the “Charges” Schedule to the Statement of Work and the remaining Charges (including any Charges for cross-functional services provided under remaining Statements of Work) and any other terms shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the termination of such portion of the Services.

12.4. Termination Assistance Services

(a) Cooperation. The Parties agree that Supplier will reasonably cooperate with Customer to assist in the orderly transfer of the services, functions, responsibilities, tasks and operations comprising the Services under each Statement of Work provided by Supplier thereunder to Customer or a Successor Supplier in connection with the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement and/or each Statement of Work for any reason, however described. The Services include Termination Assistance Services and the Termination Assistance Services shall include, but not be limited to, (i) providing Customer and their respective agents, contractors and consultants, as necessary, with the services described in the “Termination Assistance” Schedule to each Statement of Work and continuing such other portions of the Services as Customer may request; and (ii) providing Customer and third parties participating in the transition activities, with reasonable access to the business processes, materials, equipment, software and other resources (including human resources) used by Supplier to deliver the Services, as reasonably necessary to support the transition of the relevant Services (or functions necessary to replace such Services) from Supplier to Customer or one or more Successor

Page 65 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

Suppliers, provided however, that such Successor Suppliers and other third parties comply with Supplier’s security and confidentiality requirements including execution of a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit 12. Customer shall, and shall cause such third parties, to (i) avoid adversely affecting Supplier’s ability to perform its remaining obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) cooperate and work in good faith with Supplier.

(b) Commencement. Upon Customer’s request Supplier shall provide Termination Assistance Services in connection with migrating the work of Customer to Customer itself or another services provider commencing, on reasonable notice of a date specified by Customer, up to one (1) year prior to expiration, or upon any notice of termination or of non-renewal of the Agreement or any Statement of Work. Supplier will provide Termination Assistance Services regardless of the reason for the expiration or termination; provided that if the Supplier terminates this Agreement under Sections 12.1(j), Supplier may require Customer to (i) pay monthly, in advance, for Services and Termination Assistance Services provided or performed under this Section 12.4, and (ii) pay all past due amounts due and payable to Supplier and comply with the provisions of Section 4.7 before Supplier shall become obligated to provide or perform such Services or other Termination Assistance Services. To the extent Customer is obligated to pay in advance, Supplier shall, prior to each month, provide Customer with a reasonable written estimate of the Charges for Termination Assistance Services to be rendered in such month and Supplier shall reconcile the actual Charges incurred by Customer with such estimate in the invoice for the next month. In no event will Customer’s holding of monies in compliance with Section 4.7 of the Master Agreement be considered a failure by Customer to pay amounts due and payable hereunder. Further, except as provided herein, Supplier shall provide the Termination Assistance Services in accordance with this Section 12.4 even in the event of Customer’s material breach.

(c) Duration. Termination Assistance Services shall be provided through the effective date of the expiration or termination of each Statement of Work being terminated. Upon request by Customer, the effective date of such expiration or termination shall be extended for up to ** months (the “Extension Period”) thereafter as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Master Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and each such Statement of Work and such period shall be considered an extension of the Term and the term of each such Statement of Work.

(d) Charges. If any Termination Assistance Services provided by Supplier requires the utilization of additional resources or additional time by leveraged resources that Supplier would not otherwise use in the performance of the Agreement and applicable Statement(s) of Work, but for which there is a current Baseline, Customer will pay Supplier for such usage at the then-current applicable Statement(s) of Work Charges and in the manner set forth in the applicable Statement(s) of Work. If the Termination Assistance Services requires Supplier to incur costs that Supplier would not otherwise incur in the performance of the other Services under the Agreement and applicable Statement(s) of Work, then Supplier shall notify Customer of the identity and scope of the activities requiring that Supplier incur such costs and the projected amount of the charges that will be payable by Customer for the performance of such assistance. Upon Customer’s authorization, Supplier shall perform the assistance and invoice Customer for such charges. Customer shall pay Supplier for authorized, additional

Page 66 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

charges incurred to provide such assistance to Customer in accordance with Section 4.3(b) of the Master Agreement.

12.5. Other Rights Upon Termination

At the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement and/or any Statement of Work for any reason, however described, Supplier agrees in each such instance, as applicable:

(a) Hardware. Upon Customer’s request, Supplier agrees to sell to Customer or its designee for the net book value thereof (calculated using a straight-line method over a period equal to the applicable asset useful life), the Supplier Equipment owned by Supplier then currently being used by Supplier exclusively to perform the Services or the portion of the Services covered by the Statement of Work, as applicable. In the case of Supplier Equipment that Supplier is leasing exclusively to perform the Services, Supplier agrees to permit Customer or the Successor Supplier to either buy-out the lease on the Supplier Equipment and purchase the Supplier Equipment from the lessor, purchase the Equipment for the net book value (calculated using a straight-line method over a period equal to the applicable asset useful life) or assume the lease(s) and secure the release of Supplier thereon. Customer shall be responsible for any sales, use or similar taxes associated with the purchase of such Supplier Equipment or the assumption of such leases.

(b) Supplier Owned Software. Except as otherwise provided in the Statement of Work or otherwise agreed by the Parties, Supplier will provide to Customer an object code license for Supplier Software proprietary to Supplier and not generally commercially available, for use by Customer as a part of and in connection with the Customer Business, upon terms and prices to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (which prices shall be commercially reasonable and shall not be greater than those offered generally to Third Parties). At Customer’s option, Supplier will recommend a mutually agreeable commercially available substitute, if available, to perform the same function.

(c) Supplier Licensed Software. If Supplier has licensed or purchased and is using any generally commercially available Supplier-Licensed Software to provide the Services to Customer at the date of expiration or termination of the Agreement and/or any Statement of Work, Customer may elect in its sole discretion to take a transfer or an assignment of any and all of the licenses for such software and any attendant maintenance agreement used by Supplier exclusively to provide the Services and that are transferable by Supplier to Customer, which licenses and maintenance agreements shall in all cases be kept current and fully paid by Supplier through the date of transfer to Customer. In such case, Customer shall pay Supplier for the net book value (calculated using a straight-line method over a period equal to the applicable asset useful life), if any, of any such Software that is not licensed under a subscription license agreement requiring payment of ongoing current license fees. To the extent any such licenses for Supplier Software and the attendant current maintenance agreements are not exclusively used to provide the Services or are not transferable by Supplier to Customer, Supplier shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer, in Customer’s name, a current license for such Supplier Software and a current maintenance agreement for such Supplier Software under terms, conditions and prices that are no less favorable to Customer than those otherwise applicable to Supplier (unless and to the extent more favorable pricing is based upon different

Page 67 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

volumes, credit ratings or other reasonable factors relevant to the licensor). In both of the instances described above, such license and maintenance agreements shall be for a scope of use and hardware level appropriate for Customer’s operations at the time of transfer and/or delivery to Customer.

(d) Supplier Employees. Upon the date of expiration or termination of the Agreement or any Statement of Work for any reason, Customer or its designee shall have the right to make offers of employment to any or all Supplier employees primarily assigned to perform Services under such Statement of Work during the three (3) months prior to Supplier’s receipt of the notice of termination or non-renewal. Promptly after either Party sends the other Party written notice of termination or expiration with the prior consent of each Supplier employee (each of whom Supplier will notify of Customer’s interest), subject to the agreement of the Supplier employee(s), Supplier agrees to supply Customer with the names and available resumes requested by Customer for the purpose of exercising its rights under this Section 12.5, at no charge. Customer’s rights under this Section 12.5 will take precedence over any Supplier/employee employment contract or covenant that may otherwise limit an employee’s right to accept employment with Customer.

(e) Other Supplier Agreements with Third Parties. Upon Customer’s request, Supplier will transfer or assign to Customer or its designee, on mutually acceptable terms and conditions, any other agreements that Supplier holds with Third Parties that are not otherwise treated in this Section 12.5, used by Supplier exclusively to provide the Services and that are transferable by Supplier to Customer, including agreements for maintenance, Disaster Recovery Services and other necessary Third Party services then being used by Supplier to perform the Services subject to the payment by Customer of any transfer fee or charge imposed by the applicable Third Party. To the extent any such agreements are not exclusively used to provide the Services or are not transferable by Supplier to Customer, Supplier shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer, in Customer’s name, a current agreement for such good or services under terms, conditions and prices that are no less favorable to Customer than those otherwise applicable to Supplier (unless and to the extent more favorable pricing is based upon different volumes, credit ratings or other reasonable factors relevant to the Third Party).

12.6. Effect of Termination/Survival of Selected Provisions

(a) Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event of the bankruptcy of Supplier pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and an attendant rejection of the Agreement or any license granted hereunder pursuant to Section 365 thereof, the Parties intend that the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply and Customer shall, to the extent provided therein, be entitled to retain all license rights granted in the Agreement and possession of all embodiments of intellectual property licensed under the Agreement, and to exercise all rights to obtain possession of all embodiments of intellectual property licensed hereunder in accordance with the Agreement and any escrow or other agreement supplementary hereto, and other than payment of fees specifically identified as license fees, Customer shall have no obligation to pay any additional fees or payments in connection with the exercise of the license rights granted under this Agreement and use of any embodiments of such licensed intellectual property.

Page 68 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(b) Survival. Notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Services, the Agreement or any Statement of Work for any reason however described, the following Sections of the Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement which contemplates performance or observance subsequent to such expiration or termination) shall survive any such expiration or termination: Section 4, Section 10, Section 11, Section 12, Section 13, Section 14, Section 16, and Section 17. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, all other rights and obligations of the Parties under the Agreement shall expire, except those rights and obligations designated to survive in this Section 12.6(b).

(c) Claims. Except as specifically set forth in the Agreement, all claims by any Party accruing prior to the expiration or termination date shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement.

14.4. Indemnification Procedures

(a) General. An indemnified Party under this Article 14 shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnity under this Article 14. An indemnifying Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Claim. If it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the indemnifying Party may, except as provided in the immediately following sentence and the last sentence of this paragraph, assume the defense of such Claim to represent the indemnified Party and any others the indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expense of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified Party unless (a) the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (b) the named Parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is agreed that the indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expense of any indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.

(b) Settlement. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified Party is a party (i) if such settlement involves any form of relief other than the payment of money or admission of any violation of any law, regulation or order or any of the rights of any person or has any adverse effect on any other material Claims that have been or may be made against the indemnified

Page 74 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

Party, or (ii) if such settlement involves only the payment of money, unless it includes an unconditional release of such indemnified Party of all liability on claims that are the subject of such proceeding. An indemnified Party may assume control of the defense of any Claim if (1) it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under this Article 14 and releases the indemnifying Party from all Losses related to the underlying Claim, or (2) without prejudice to its full right to indemnity under this Article 14 (A) the indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend or provide indemnification with respect to such Claim, (B) the indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that a Claim would materially and adversely affect it or any other indemnitees other than as a result of monetary damages that would be fully reimbursed by an indemnifying Party under the Agreement, or (C) the indemnifying Party refuses or fails to timely assume the defense of such Claim.

(c) Exceptions. An indemnifying Party required to provide an indemnity to an indemnified Party under this Article 14 shall have no obligation for any Claim under this Article if:

	(i)		the indemnified Party fails to notify the indemnifying Party of such Claim as provided above, but only to the extent that the defense of such Claim is prejudiced by such failure;

	(ii)		the indemnified Party fails to tender control of the defense of such Claim to the indemnifying Party as provided in this Section 14.4; or

	(iii)		the indemnified Party fails to provide the indemnifying Party with all reasonable cooperation in the defense of such Claim (the cost thereof to be borne by the indemnifying Party).

15. INSURANCE AND RISK OF LOSS

(c) commercial general liability insurance, covering claims for bodily injury, death and property damage, including premises and operations, Supplier’s vicarious liability for acts of independent contractors, products, services and completed operations (as applicable to the Services), personal injury, contractual, and broad-form property damage liability coverages, with

Page 75 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and a general aggregate limit of $2,000,000, for bodily injury, death and property damage;

(d) commercial automobile liability insurance, covering owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, with combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and a general aggregate limit of $2,000,000, for bodily injury, death and property damage;

(e) umbrella liability insurance, with a minimum limit of $10,000,000 per occurrence and $10,000,000 in the aggregate;

(f) “all-risk” property insurance, on a replacement cost basis, covering the real and personal property of Supplier which Supplier is obligated to insure by the Agreement; such real and personal property may include equipment, furniture, fixtures and supply inventory;

(g) technology errors and omissions liability insurance, with a limit of $1,000,000 per claim; and

(h) employee dishonesty insurance covering dishonest acts of employees; such insurance shall include a Joint Loss Endorsement in favor of Customer and be written for limits not less than $1,000,000.

15.2. Policy Requirements

All such policies of insurance of Supplier shall provide that the insurer will give at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation to Customer. No such cancellation or material modification shall affect Supplier’s obligation to maintain the insurance coverages required by the Agreement. Customer shall be named as an additional insured on the commercial general liability insurance policies described above. All liability insurance policies shall be written on an “occurrence” policy form except for the policies described in (g) and (h) above which shall be on a “claims made” basis. Customer shall be named as loss payee as its interest may appear on the property insurance policies of Supplier. Supplier shall be responsible for payment of any and all deductibles from insured claims under its policies of insurance. All required policies of insurance will be placed with insurers with no less than an A.M. Best rating of A- VII. The coverage afforded under any insurance policy obtained by Supplier pursuant to the Agreement shall be primary coverage regardless of whether or not Customer has similar coverage. Supplier shall not perform under the Agreement without the prerequisite insurance. Upon Customer’s request, Supplier shall provide Customer with certificates of such insurance including renewals thereof. Unless previously agreed to in writing by Customer, Supplier shall comply with the insurance requirements herein. The minimum limits of coverage required by the Agreement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess or umbrella insurance policies. The maintenance of the insurance coverages required under the Agreement shall in no way operate to limit the liability of Supplier to Customer under the provisions of the Agreement.

15.3. No Effect on Supplier Liability to Customer

The Parties do not intend to shift all risk of loss to insurance. The naming of Customer as additional insured is not intended to be a limitation of Supplier’s liability and shall in no event be deemed to, or serve to, limit Supplier’s liability to Customer to available insurance

Page 76 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

coverages or to the policy limits specified in this Section 15.1 nor to limit Customer’s rights to exercise any and all remedies available to Customer under contract, at law or in equity.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; GOVERNING LAW

16.1. Disputes in General

The Parties will resolve all Disputes in accordance with the procedures described in Exhibit 7 (the “Dispute Resolution Procedures”).

16.2. Continued Performance

Except where prevented from doing so by the matter in Dispute, Supplier agrees to continue performing its obligations under this Agreement (including Section 4.7) while any good faith Dispute is being resolved; provided that this provision will not operate or be construed as prohibiting or delaying a Party’s exercise of any termination right it may have as to all or any part of the Services.

16.3. Exceptions to Dispute Resolution Procedures

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, either Party may resort to court action for injunctive or other relief at any time if, in such Party’s good faith belief, this is necessary to: (i) avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, (ii) preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, (iii) address a claim arising out of the breach of the other Party’s obligations under Article 11, (iv) address a claim arising out of the breach or attempted or threatened breach of the obligations described in Section 16.2, or (v) damages that are so immediate, so large or severe, and so incapable of adequate redress after the fact that a temporary restraining order or other immediate injunctive relief is the only adequate remedy and the Dispute Resolution Procedures would permit or cause irreparable injury to such Party or any Third Party claiming against such Party, due to delay arising of the Dispute Resolution Procedures.

16.4. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial

The Agreement and any and all claims and Disputes between Customer and Supplier will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York except where local mandatory law applies. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Both Parties irrevocably waive their right to a jury trial as to any or all Disputes arising out of or in connection with or related to this Agreement.

17. GENERAL

17.1. Relationship of Parties

(a) No Joint Venture. The Agreement (including the Statements of Work) shall not be construed as constituting either Party as partner, joint venture or fiduciary of the other Party or to create any other form of legal association that would impose liability upon one

Page 77 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party, or (except as expressly authorized in this Agreement) as providing either Party with the right, power or authority (express or implied) to create any duty or obligation of the other Party.

(b) Publicity. Each Party will submit to the other Party all advertising, written sales promotion, press releases and other publicity matters relating to the Agreement in which the other Party’s name or marks are mentioned or language from which the connection of such name or marks may reasonably be inferred or implied, and will not publish or use such advertising, sales promotion, press releases, or publicity matters without prior written approval of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier may list Customer as a customer, and Customer may list Supplier as services provider, and each Party may describe in general terms the Services provided by Supplier in proposals and other marketing materials.

17.2. Entire Agreement, Updates, Amendments and Modifications

The Agreement (including the Statements of Work) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to the Services and matters addressed therein, and all prior agreements, letters, proposals, discussions and other documents regarding the Services and the matters addressed in the Agreement (including the Statements of Work) are superseded and merged into the Agreement (including the Statements of Work). Updates, amendments, corrections and modifications to the Agreement including the Statements of Work may not be made orally, but shall only be made by a written document signed by both Parties.

17.3. Force Majeure

(a) Generally. Each Party will be excused from performance under this Agreement for any period and to the extent (and only to the extent) that it is prevented from or delayed in performing any obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in whole or in part, as a result of a Force Majeure Event. If either Party is prevented from, or delayed in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement by a Force Majeure Event, it shall promptly notify the other Party verbally (to be confirmed in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of the inception of the delay) of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event and describe, in reasonable detail, the circumstances constituting the Force Majeure Event and of the obligations, the performance of which are thereby delayed or prevented. The Party claiming that a Force Majeure Event has occurred shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact or consequence of the event on the other Party and to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay.

(b) Disaster Recovery. The occurrence of a Force Majeure Event shall not relieve Supplier of its obligation to provide disaster recovery Services as described in Section 3.4(c). The non-performing Party shall not be excused under this Section 17.3 for (i) any non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement having a greater scope or longer period than is justified by the Force Majeure Event, or (ii) the performance of obligations that should have been performed prior to the Force Majeure Event.

Page 78 of 82
CONFIDENTIAL

(c) Extended Nonperformance. If a Force Majeure Event (other than at a Third Party co-location provider selected by Customer) substantially prevents, hinders or delays, for more than ** hours beyond any applicable recovery time objective (as specified in the applicable Disaster Recovery Plan), Supplier’s performance of any Services necessary for the performance of functions reasonably deemed by Customer to be critical to the operation of its business, then (i) Customer may procure replacement services from an alternate source, and (ii) Supplier will be liable for payment for such replacement services from the alternate source (up to the amounts paid by Customer for the applicable Services) for so long as the delay in performance continues and Supplier is unable to perform the Services, but not to exceed ** days. Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the charges to be incurred for such replacement services. Customer will continue to pay Supplier the appropriate Charges for the applicable Services during such time.

17.4. Waiver

No waiver of any breach of any provision of the Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof.

17.5. Severability

If any provision of the Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect the Parties’ original intentions as nearly as possible in accordance with applicable law(s).

17.6. Counterparts

The Master Agreement and each Statement of Work may be executed in counterparts. Each such counterpart shall be an original and together shall constitute but one and the same document.

17.7. Binding Nature and Assignment

An assigning Party shall remain fully liable for and shall not be relieved from the full performance of all obligations under the Agreement. Any attempted assignment that does not comply with the terms of this Section 17.7 shall be null and void. If either Party assigns its rights or obligations in accordance with the foregoing, such Party shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party together with a copy of the assignment document, within three (3) Business Days after such assignment. If Supplier assigns its rights to payment hereunder with Customer’s consent, amounts assigned shall be subject to setoff or recoupment for any present or future claims of Customer against Supplier.

		MIVA/ PSC CONFIDENTIAL

			and Supplier shall confer in order to finalize and agree to the associated Development Fees (and any associated changes required to the Specifications), which agreement shall be reflected in the Parties’ mutual acceptance of the Specifications (including the Development Fees) in writing. If the Parties are unable to agree in writing to a set of Specifications (including the Development Fees) within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the revised Specifications, then the Development Project relating to such Specifications shall be deemed terminated.

	b.		Detailed Design Specifications. Upon the Parties’ mutual agreement to the Specifications (including the Development Fees) in accordance with Section 4.3.2(a) above, Supplier shall, with Customer’s cooperation, gather the necessary detailed requirements and develop and deliver to Customer a set of detailed design specifications (the “Detailed Design Specifications”) based upon the accepted Specifications. The Detailed Design Specifications shall include, to the extent practicable, system flow charts, program descriptions, file layouts, report layouts and screen layouts, interface requirements and layouts, conversion requirements and layouts and refined equipment requirements for the Developed Software. The Detailed Design Specifications shall be delivered to Customer on or before the specified time set forth in the preliminary Specifications (unless a longer period is reasonably required). Within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of the Detailed Design Specifications to Customer (unless a longer period is reasonably required), Customer shall notify Supplier in writing of its acceptance or rejection of the Detailed Design Specifications. If the Detailed Design Specifications are rejected, Customer will specify the reasons for such rejection and Supplier shall have five (5) Business Days (unless a longer period is reasonably required) to revise and re-deliver amended Detailed Design Specifications to Customer for acceptance. Once accepted by Customer, the Detailed Design Specifications shall supersede the preliminary Specifications for that Development Project to which the Detailed Design Specifications relate. If Customer rejects the amended Detailed Design Specifications, Customer shall have the right to terminate the Development Project to which Customer’s rejection relates.

	c.		Acceptance of Specifications. Upon acceptance of the Specifications, including without limitation, the Detailed Design Specifications, such Specifications, shall be deemed to be a part of this ADM Statement of Work, and Supplier shall perform the Development Services described in such Specifications within the time frames, in the manner, and for the Development Fees specified therein.

	d.		Programming and Supplier Testing. After acceptance of the Detailed Design Specifications by Customer pursuant to Section 4.3.2(b) hereof, Supplier shall commence program coding and testing to provide the necessary programming of the Developed Software.

ADM Statement of Work		Page 6 of 17
		MIVA/ PSC CONFIDENTIAL

	e.		Designation of Project Coordinators. For each Development Project, Supplier shall designate a Supplier employee, who shall supervise the Development Project and serve as Customer’s point of contact for the resolution of problems (the “Supplier Project Coordinator”). The services of the Supplier Project Coordinator shall be included in the applicable Development Fees. Customer shall also designate an employee to coordinate Customer’s involvement in the Development Project and shall serve as Supplier’s point of contact for the resolution of problems (the “Customer Project Coordinator”). Customer may change the Customer Project Coordinator from time to time upon prior written notice to Supplier.

	f.		Review Meetings and Progress Reports. Each week during the period of each Development Project (or as otherwise set forth in the applicable Specifications), the Customer Project Coordinator and Supplier Project Coordinator, as well as appropriate additional personnel involved in the particular tasks underway, shall meet at a site designated by Customer or arrange a conference call to discuss the progress made by Supplier and Customer. In order to facilitate proper project management, Supplier shall, at each such meeting or conference call, provide Customer with a progress report specifying in detail:

	(i)		Any critical issue encountered by Supplier during the preceding week, including without limitation, the failure of either Party to perform, any delay of either Party in performing or the inadequate performance of either Party, which may prevent or tend to prevent Supplier from completing any task by the completion date;

	(ii)		An estimated length of any delay which may result from any critical issues; and

	(iii)		The cause of any critical issue and the specific steps taken or proposed to be taken by Supplier or Customer as appropriate to remedy such critical issue.

			Each progress report provided by Supplier pursuant to this Section 4.3.2(f) shall include critical issues discussed and dealt with, together with those not yet raised by Supplier, during the preceding week. In any event, critical issues shall be discussed and dealt with as soon as possible after identification by Supplier. In the event Supplier fails to specify in writing any critical issue with respect to a given week in the appropriate progress report and in such manner and at such time as required pursuant to this Section 4.3.2(f), it shall be presumed that no critical issue arose during such week.

	g.		Extensions of Time. If Supplier is delayed at any time during the Development Project by the failure of Customer or any applicable Third Party Provider to perform (or properly perform) its obligations set forth in the Implementation Schedule included in the applicable Specifications hereunder, then Supplier may request that the affected Implementation



ADM Statement of Work		Page 7 of 17
		MIVA/ PSC CONFIDENTIAL

			Schedule date(s) be extended. Customer shall review such request with Supplier at the appropriate progress meeting/conference call provided for in subsection (f) above, and shall grant an extension of time commensurate with the circumstances, if (x) it is reasonable to anticipate that the affected Implementation Schedule date(s) will be actually and necessarily delayed, and (y) Supplier provides a written request to Customer in conjunction with the next progress report provided for in subsection (f) above after the time Supplier knows or reasonably should have known of any Customer or Third Party Provider failure which might, under reasonably foreseeable circumstances, result in a delay for which Supplier may claim an extension of time. If Supplier shall fail to give the foregoing notice, the right to request an extension for such cause shall be waived. A delay meeting the foregoing conditions shall be deemed an “Excusable Delay”. The period of any extension of time shall be only that which is reasonably necessary, and may be for a longer or shorter (or the same) period of time than the event or condition giving rise to the need for an extension of time. In the event of a delay, Supplier shall proceed continuously and diligently with the performance of the unaffected portions of the Development Project.

			Customer shall pay Supplier for any additional fees (at Supplier’s then-current rates for the applicable portion of the Development Project then in progress, as derived from the applicable Development Project resource plan set forth in the Specifications) (as well as out-of-pocket travel expenses that are reasonably agreed to by the Parties and in accordance with the requirements of Exhibit 14) resulting from Supplier activity pursuant to this subsection in connection with an Excusable Delay which is caused by the failure of Customer or any Third Party Provider to perform (or properly perform) its obligations set forth in the applicable Implementation Schedule, and which Excusable Delay results in an extension of time to the final milestone date set forth in such Implementation Schedule (whether such milestone is associated with “Final Acceptance” or otherwise). Alternatively, if the Parties mutually agree that Supplier shall add additional personnel to its team in order to meet such original milestone date, in response to an Excusable Delay which is caused by the failure of Customer or any Third Party Provider to perform (or properly perform) its obligations set forth in the applicable Implementation Schedule, then Customer shall pay Supplier for any additional fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Supplier (calculated pursuant to the foregoing), and no extension of time pursuant to this subsection (g) will be granted for such circumstances.

	h.		Termination of Development Services. Customer may terminate any Development Project for any reason whatsoever by providing not less than the number of days of written notice set forth in the Specifications (or, if no such period is specified therein, fifteen (15) days) to Supplier specifying the date upon which termination becomes effective. In the event of such termination, Supplier shall be entitled to payment for the Development Services rendered by Supplier prior to the effective date of termination, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3.4 hereof and the following. If the terminated Development Project was being



ADM Statement of Work		Page 8 of 17
		MIVA/ PSC CONFIDENTIAL

performed on a time and materials basis or on a fixed fee basis under which Supplier’s travel or other expenses were not included in its Development Fees, Customer shall reimburse Supplier for any non-cancelable expenses incurred prior to the date of Customer’s notice that would otherwise be due in accordance with the requirements of the “Charges” Schedule. If the terminated Development Project was being performed on a fixed fee basis under which Supplier was paid based upon the achievement of certain milestones, in addition to any amount owed Supplier for milestones completed and accepted by Customer prior to the effective date of termination, Customer shall pay Supplier a pro rata portion of the Development Fees associated with any milestones in progress or not yet accepted as of such date (based upon the actual percentage of the work performed and to the extent Supplier has not, without Customer approval, performed a milestone in advance of the Implementation Schedule set forth in the Specifications); provided, however, that payments shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amounts specified in the Specifications (as amended by the Parties) as applicable, and such payment shall constitute full settlement of any and all claims of Supplier of every description, including without limitation, claims for lost profits.

4.3.3. Implementation and Acceptance. For each Development Project, the Developed Software will be subject to the following terms and procedures:

	a.		Implementation Schedule. In the event (i) the Specifications provide that a Development Project is to be performed on a fixed fee basis under which Supplier shall be paid based upon the achievement of certain milestones and (ii) any milestone set forth in an Implementation Schedule is not met due to any delay caused by Supplier, in addition to any applicable Delay Damages, Supplier shall not earn and Customer shall not be required to remit the Development Fees associated with such milestone until such milestone is met. Additionally, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such delay does not result in slippage of later milestones.

	b.		Acceptance Testing. After Supplier has certified to Customer in writing that the final version of the Developed Software has been delivered and installed, that Supplier testing of the applicable System is completed, and that the System is fully operational and ready for acceptance testing, such acceptance testing shall be performed as provided for in the Detailed Design Specifications (the “Acceptance Tests”). Customer personnel shall reasonably cooperate with Supplier and reasonably participate in Supplier testing as agreed by the Parties in the applicable testing plan. The Acceptance Tests shall include verification of whether:

	(i)		the Developed Software conforms to the Specifications, including without limitation, the Detailed Design Specifications; and

	(ii)		the Developed Software Documentation conforms to the guidelines set forth in the Specifications.



ADM Statement of Work		Page 9 of 17
		MIVA/ PSC CONFIDENTIAL

			Customer shall complete the Acceptance Tests within the time period reasonably specified in the testing plan and shall notify Supplier in writing whether the System has passed the Acceptance Tests. Supplier personnel may be present at such Acceptance Tests at no cost to Customer. All Acceptance Tests will be conducted in accordance with the Implementation Schedule.

			If the System fails to pass the Acceptance Tests, Customer shall so notify Supplier in writing specifying, in all reasonable detail, the nature of such failure, and Customer shall permit Supplier to cure the System failures caused by Supplier for a reasonable period of time, at Supplier’s sole cost and expense. Supplier shall modify the Developed Software as soon as reasonably possible to correct any deficiencies and shall re-submit the Developed Software to Customer for further Acceptance Tests as provided in this paragraph.

			If the System fails to pass the Acceptance Tests two (2) times, then at any time within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, Customer may terminate the Development Project upon ten (10) Business Days notice. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not be liable for costs incurred by Supplier in connection with its efforts to cure the identified System failures or for any Development Fees during such cure period (to the extent such Development Fees are charged by Supplier on a time and materials basis as set forth in the agreed upon Specifications) related to curing the System failures.

			Customer’s notice to Supplier that the System has passed the Acceptance Tests shall be known as the “Preliminary Acceptance” milestone unless there is no Pilot Operation, in which case it shall be known as the “Final Acceptance” milestone.

	c.		Pilot Operation. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Specifications, upon Preliminary Acceptance of the Developed Software, Customer shall utilize the System in a production environment for an initial thirty (30) day period (or such other timeframe as may be set forth in the Specifications) (the “Pilot Operation”). The Pilot Operation shall be successfully completed if, for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days (or such other timeframe as may be set forth in the Specifications), (i) the System performs, in all material respects, in accordance with the Specifications, and (ii) all reliability and performance standards have been met or exceeded (the “Final Acceptance”).

			If the System fails to so pass the Pilot Operation, Customer shall so notify Supplier in writing specifying the nature of such failure(s) in all reasonable detail and Supplier shall promptly correct the specified failure(s) (the “Pilot Operation Cure Period”), after which Customer shall commence a second thirty (30) day Pilot Operation (or such other timeframe as may be set forth in the Specifications). For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not be liable for costs incurred by Supplier during the Pilot Operation Cure Period or for any Development Fees in



ADM Statement of Work		Page 10 of 17
		MIVA/ PSC CONFIDENTIAL

			connection with Supplier efforts to cure the System failures during the Pilot Operation Cure Period (to the extent such Development Fees are charged by Supplier on a time and materials basis as set forth in the agreed upon Specifications).

			If the System fails to pass this second Pilot Operation, Supplier acknowledges that Customer may, upon written notice to Supplier, either (i) extend Supplier’s right to continue attempting to cure the System failure(s) for a specified period of time, at Supplier’s sole cost and expense, or (ii) terminate the Development Project in connection with such System upon one (1) Business Day’s notice to Supplier.

	d.		Final Completion Deadline. The Specifications may set forth a “Final Completion Deadline” by which the Developed Software must be implemented by Supplier and operational in order to meet a strategic business objective or Third Party deadline applicable to Customer, and thereby avoid a significant adverse impact on the Customer Business. In such case, if Supplier fails to perform its obligations under the applicable Specifications and implement the Developed Software before the Completion Deadline, Customer may terminate the Development Project upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Supplier.

	e.		Effect of Termination. In the event Customer terminates a Development Project pursuant to Sections 4.3.3(b), (c) or (d), Customer shall be entitled to receive such damages and remedies as Customer might have pursuant to this ADM Statement of Work or the Master Agreement, at law or in equity. Without limitation, in the event the Development Project is being performed on a fixed fee basis under which Supplier was to be paid based upon the achievement of certain milestones, Supplier shall not earn and Customer shall not be required to remit, the Development Fees associated with the milestone for Final Acceptance.

	f.		Delay Damages. For Development Projects for which the Parties agree in the Specifications that the provisions of this Section 4.3.3(f) shall apply, notwithstanding the Development Fees provided for in Section 4.3.4 below, if Supplier fails to deliver any Developed Software which has achieved Final Acceptance by the applicable Development Project Completion Date, then for each calendar week that the System fails to so achieve Final Acceptance beyond the scheduled Development Project Completion Date (as specified in the Implementation Schedule), then Supplier shall deduct from the fees payable pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below an amount equal to the percentage of such fees (or a specified dollar amount) set forth in the applicable Specifications, plus an additional percentage (or dollar amount) for each week thereafter that the System has failed to achieve Final Acceptance (“Delay Damages”). Customer and Supplier acknowledge that the amounts payable by Supplier to Customer under this Section 4.3.3(f) constitute liquidated damages for such delay and not penalties, that they represent Customer’s sole and exclusive monetary or financial remedy with respect to the delay, that the injuries to Customer caused by such delay are difficult or impossible to estimate



ADM Statement of Work		Page 11 of 17
		MIVA/ PSC CONFIDENTIAL

			accurately, and that the sums payable herein are reasonable pre-estimates of the probable losses for such delay.

	g.		Other Acceptance Criteria. Without limiting the provisions of this Section 4.3, in no event will Customer be obligated to accept the Developed Software until all Developed Software Documentation and the Source Code corresponding to such Developed Software have been delivered to Customer.

	h.		Interim Testing. For efficiency and project management purposes, informal testing, in addition to the acceptance testing provided for herein, may be conducted on a component basis at various times as the work progresses, but neither such informal testing nor any provisional acceptance of the results thereof by Customer shall constitute Final Acceptance of the Developed Software by Customer or relieve Supplier of the responsibility to complete successful Acceptance Tests on the Developed Software, as a whole, as a precondition to its entitlement to certain payments under Section 4.3.4 hereof.

	i.		Warranty of Developed Software Performance. Notwithstanding Section 6.4 of the Master Agreement, Supplier warrants that for the period set forth in the Specifications (or, if no such period is specified, a six (6) month period) following Final Acceptance of the Developed Software by Customer, the Developed Software will be free from material reproducible programming errors and defects in workmanship and materials, and will substantially conform to the Specifications when maintained and operated in accordance with Supplier’s written instructions. If such material reproducible programming errors are discovered during the warranty period, Supplier shall promptly remedy them at no additional cost to Customer.

4.3.4. Development Fees.

	a.		General. As consideration for the development of Developed Software, and for Supplier’s discharge of all of its obligations in connection with the Development Services, Supplier agrees to invoice Customer the fees (the “Development Fees”) set forth in the applicable Specifications. Unless otherwise stated therein, such Development Fees shall be invoiced monthly in arrears.

	b.		Time and Materials Basis. Development Projects performed on a time and materials basis, shall be performed for Development Fees calculated in accordance with the daily rate and work schedule set forth in the Specifications. Such daily rates shall be in no event more than Supplier’s rates as set forth in the “Charges” Schedule to this ADM Statement of Work.
