(a) Each EDS Provider acknowledges that the personnel filling the positions identified in Schedule 6.3 or any applicable Schedule 6.3(LCA) (the “Key EDS Positions”) are critical to providing the Services throughout the Term (or throughout each Local Country Agreement Term, as applicable). Coors may change or add to the Key EDS Positions from time to time during the Term with EDS’ consent. Each EDS Provider shall cause the personnel filling the Key EDS Positions and employed by it to devote to the provision of the Services the time and effort described in Schedule 6.3 or in any applicable Schedule 6.3(LCA).
(b) The individuals who will fill the Key EDS Positions on the Commencement Date are listed in Schedule 6.3. The individuals who will fill the Key EDS Positions on the Local Country Agreement Effective Date for the Local Country Agreement between EDS-UK and CBL are listed in Schedule 6.3(LCA-UK). Neither EDS nor EDS-UK shall, from the date an individual first fills a Key EDS Position until completion of the period set forth next to such Key EDS Position in Schedule 6.3 or Schedule 6.3(LCA-UK), without Coors prior written approval, transfer any individual from such Key EDS Position to another position within EDS or an EDS Affiliate.

6.4 Removal of EDS Employees from Coors Account
Coors shall have the right to notify EDS if Coors determines in good faith that the continued assignment to the Coors account of any EDS Personnel is not in the best interests of Coors or a Coors Recipient. Upon receipt of such notice, EDS shall have a reasonable time period to investigate the matters stated therein, discuss its findings with Coors and attempt to resolve such matters in a manner acceptable to Coors. If Coors continues to request the replacement of such individual after such period, the applicable EDS Provider shall remove the individual from the Coors account. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to require any EDS Provider to terminate the employment of such individual.
The Parties agree that it is generally in the best interest of both Parties to keep the turnover rate of the employees of the EDS Providers providing the Services to a reasonably low level. On each anniversary of the Commencement Date EDS shall provide Coors with such data as Coors may request regarding the turnover rate of such employees in the preceding one (1) year and the turnover rate of all EDS Provider employees in the preceding one (1) year. If Coors notifies EDS that Coors believes the turnover rate of the employees of the EDS Providers providing the Services is unreasonably high, [*****]
Except as set forth in Section 17.12 (Offers to EDS Employees), [*****] Coors shall not; and during the Local Country Agreement Term applicable to it, each other Coors Recipient shall not, extend offers of employment to, or directly or indirectly solicit the employment of, any employee of an EDS Provider who provided the Services during [*****], while an EDS Provider is providing any Termination Assistance, no EDS Provider shall extend offers of employment to, or directly or indirectly solicit the employment of, any Coors Recipient employees providing information technology services.
6.7 Security
(a) EDS shall, upon Coors’ reasonable request, inspect and search the employees, agents and representatives of EDS and EDS Subcontractors, and their respective vehicles or belongings, on a non-routine basis to ensure compliance with Coors’ security policies. EDS shall ensure (or, with respect to EDS Subcontractors, cause such subcontractors to ensure) that any of the employees, agents and representatives of EDS and any EDS Subcontractors who will be on Coors’ premises (or on the premises of a Coors Affiliate, other than the premises of CBL, which CBL premises shall be subject to subsection (b) of this Section 6.7) will have given their consent to the inspections and/or searches contemplated by this subsection.
(b) EDS-UK shall, upon the reasonable request of CBL, take all reasonable steps to inspect and search the employees, agents and representatives of EDS-UK and EDS
28
Subcontractors providing Services to CBL, and their respective vehicles or belongings, on a non-routine basis to ensure compliance with CBL’s security policies. EDS-UK shall take all reasonable steps to ensure (or, with respect to EDS Subcontractors, cause such subcontractors to ensure) that any of the employees, agents and representatives of the EDS-UK and any EDS Subcontractors who will be on the CBL’s premises (or on premises of a CBL Affiliate in the United Kingdom) will have given their consent to the inspections and/or searches contemplated by this subsection.
6.8 Safety
(a) EDS shall ensure (and with respect to EDS Subcontractors shall cause such subcontractors to ensure) that each employee, agent and representative of EDS or an EDS Subcontractor shall comply with the terms and conditions set forth in “U.S. Environmental, Health and Safety Commitment and Policy” attached hereto as Exhibit E, and as may be updated from time to time in accordance with the Change Control Procedure.
(b) In respect of the Local Country Agreement executed by CBL and EDS-UK, EDS-UK shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that it, its subcontractors and their respective employees, agents and representatives comply with CBL’s health and safety policies (attached hereto as Exhibit G, and as may be updated from time to time in accordance with the Change Control Procedure) while they are performing Services on the premises of CBL; provided, however, that (i) in the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit G and Articles 1 through 19 of the Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement, Articles 1 through 19 of the Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement shall prevail; (ii) in the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit G and the terms of the Tenancy Agreement, the terms of the Tenancy Agreement shall prevail; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Exhibit G, neither EDS nor EDS-UK shall have any obligation to indemnify CBL unless such indemnity obligation is set forth in Article 15 of this Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement.

Except for the foregoing license, the Coors Recipients retain all right, title and interest in and to the Coors Software.
29
7.2 EDS Software
The EDS Providers shall install, operate and maintain [*****] any EDS Software needed to provide the Services. No EDS Provider shall use in performing the Services any EDS Software unless such EDS Software is available to the Coors Recipients following the Term or the Local Country Agreement Term, as applicable, [*****] and upon reasonable terms. As of the applicable Effective Date, each EDS Provider grants to the applicable Coors Recipient, its Affiliates, each of the third parties described in Section 3.4 and their respective contractors and subcontractors, a [*****] license during the Term or the Local Country Agreement Term, as applicable, to use EDS Software for the benefit of each Coors Recipient and its Affiliates. Except for the foregoing license, the EDS Providers retain all right, title and interest in and to the EDS Software.
(a) With respect to Third Party Software Licenses, each Coors Recipient or EDS Provider shall be the licensee of any Third Party Software License for which it is the designated licensee pursuant to Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i)(LCA) and each Coors Recipient or EDS Provider shall have [*****] allocated to it on Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i)(LCA), as the case may be (in each case, as such Schedule is amended from time to time pursuant to Section 5.3(h)(ii), subsections (b) or (c) of this Section 7.3, or Section 9.9). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and the obligations of the Coors Recipient or EDS Provider set forth in Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i)(LCA), when an EDS Provider acquires refresh Equipment, or additional Equipment for which a Coors Recipient is charged an ARC, such EDS Provider shall have [*****] for the OEM license for the operating system for such Equipment.
(b) With respect to Third Party Systems Software Licenses entered into by an EDS Provider after the Effective Date applicable to it: (i) such Third Party Systems Software Licenses shall be added to Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i)(LCA), as appropriate (but not as “Managed Contracts);” (ii) such EDS Provider shall be the designated licensee under any such Third Party Systems Software Licenses so added to Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i)(LCA) (and shall comply with all obligations imposed on the licensee thereunder); and (iii) such EDS Provider shall be allocated [*****] any such Third Party Systems Software Licenses so added to Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i)(LCA), as appropriate. No EDS Provider shall introduce any Third Party Systems Software unless such Third Party Systems Software is generally available to the Coors Recipients or a successor provider of the Services on commercially reasonable terms from a recognized provider of software.
(c) Each EDS Provider shall install, operate and support additional Third Party Applications Software designated by Coors from time to time during the Term in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. Unless otherwise agreed in the Change Control Procedures, with respect to Third Party Applications Software Licenses entered into after the Commencement Date (or after the applicable Local Country Agreement Effective Date in the case of Third Party Applications Software used to perform Services in a country where there is a
30
Local Country Agreement): (i) such Third Party Applications Software Licenses shall be added to Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i) (LCA), as appropriate (but not under “Managed Contracts”); (ii) the appropriate Coors Recipient shall be the designated licensee under any such Third Party Applications Software Licenses so added to Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i) (LCA), as appropriate; and (iii) the appropriate EDS Provider shall be allocated [*****] for any such Third Party Applications Software Licenses so added to Schedule 5.3(a)(i) or any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i) (LCA), as appropriate. Each EDS Provider shall obtain, [*****] from each party to a Third Party Applications Software License entered into by such Coors Recipient after the applicable Effective Date any required consent by such third party to such EDS Provider’s access to and use of the associated Third Party Applications Software during the Term or the Local Country Agreement Term, as applicable. If an EDS Provider is unable to obtain the consent of any such third party, it shall identify and adopt, [*****] upon mutual agreement of the Parties, such alternative approaches as are necessary to permit the EDS Provider to provide the Services without such consent or otherwise to eliminate the need for such consent. No EDS Provider shall introduce any Third Party Applications Software which will be used or accessed by any Coors Recipient’s end-users without Coors’ prior written consent.
(d) Subject to any applicable obligations of a Coors Recipient set forth in Schedule 5.3(a)(i), in any applicable Schedule 5.3(a)(i) (LCA), and to Section 9.8, each EDS Provider shall, to the extent necessary or appropriate to provide the Services to its corresponding Coors Recipient: (i) maintain Third Party Software used by such Coors Recipient on its applicable Effective Date; (ii) upgrade, enhance, expand the scope of licenses for, and implement new versions of Third Party Systems Software and, at Coors’ request, Third Party Applications Software; and (iii) replace or add to Third Party Systems Software and, pursuant to the Change Control Procedures, Third Party Applications Software.
7.4 Other Intellectual Property
(a) Each Coors Recipient and EDS Provider shall be the sole owner of all Intellectual Property owned by it as of its Effective Date or developed by it during the Term (or the Local Country Agreement Term, as applicable) independent of the Services and this Agreement.

In the case of such works that are derivative from EDS Software (“EDS Enhancements”), an EDS Provider
31
shall continue to own all Intellectual Property rights in the EDS Enhancements and such EDS Provider shall be deemed to have granted to the Coors Recipients a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to copy and use as part of the EDS Enhancements the items of EDS Software underlying such EDS Enhancements. All works described in this Section 7.4(b) (other than EDS Enhancements) and fixed in any tangible medium shall be considered as “works for hire” commissioned by Coors under the copyright laws of the United States. If any such tangible work is not considered a work for hire under applicable local law, each EDS Provider hereby irrevocably assigns to Coors (or to one or more Coors Recipient(s) designated by Coors), effective immediately on the creation of such work, all of such EDS Provider’s right, title and interest in and to copyright and trade secret rights embodied in such tangible work, subject to the EDS Providers’ continuing ownership of EDS Software underlying EDS Enhancements and the corresponding license thereof to the Coors Recipients as set forth above. Each EDS Provider shall provide on a timely basis all assistance (including without limitation the execution and delivery of all required documents and instruments) to the Coors Recipients reasonably requested by the Coors Recipients for the reflection of the ownership by the Coors Recipients and their Affiliates of the Intellectual Property rights the Coors Recipients own pursuant to this Section 7.4(b).
(c) Each EDS Provider grants to the Coors Recipients during the Term (and any applicable Local Country Agreement Term) and thereafter a [*****] license to copy, distribute, make, use and otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property owned by any EDS Provider used in providing any of the Services during the Term (and the applicable Local Country Agreement Term), solely for use by the Coors Recipients and their Affiliates and by each of the third parties described in Section 3.4 (or by any third party service provider) for the benefit of the Coors Recipients and their Affiliates in the performance of activities encompassed within the scope of the Services or activities that are reasonable extensions or expansions of such activities. The Coors Recipients acknowledge and agree that in the event that during the Term any EDS Software is modified pursuant to this Agreement by any Coors Recipient or its Affiliate or any third party described in Section 3.4, the EDS Providers will not be required to support or maintain such modifications and the EDS Providers shall be relieved of any obligation hereunder to the extent that such modifications adversely affect the EDS Providers’ ability to perform the Services or meet the Service Levels.
(d) EDS Providers shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all Intellectual Property in any enhancements to and modifications of Third Party Software developed by the EDS Providers in the ordinary course pursuant to this Agreement to the extent such enhancements and modifications are not owned by the licensor of such Third Party Software; provided, however, that, to the extent an EDS Provider is the owner of such enhancements and modifications, such EDS Provider hereby grants to the Coors Recipients a [*****] license to use, modify, create derivative works from, and sublicense any such enhancements and modifications, as well as the right to practice all patents, if any, required to permit such use, modification and creation of derivative works. To the extent the EDS Providers have the right to do so, the EDS Providers shall provide to the Coors Recipients at the Coors Recipient’s request during the Term (or the applicable Local Country Agreement Term) or within one (1) year thereafter all source code, object code and documentation reasonably required to make full use of the foregoing licenses.
32
(e) Neither Party (nor their respective Affiliates) shall use any trademarks, servicemarks, tradenames, logos or other indicia of the other Party (or its Affiliates) without such other Party’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in such other Party’s sole discretion.
(f) All Intellectual Property in Coors Data created by the EDS Providers or their Affiliates during the performance of the Services shall be owned by the Coors Recipients or their Affiliates and the EDS Providers hereby irrevocably assign to the Coors Recipients all of the EDS Providers’ and their Affiliates’ right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property.
7.5 Residual Rights
Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any Coors Recipient or EDS Provider from the use of any ideas, concepts, know-how, methods or techniques not fixed in a tangible medium during the Term (“Residual Subject Matter”) relating to data processing that it, individually or jointly, develops or discloses under this Agreement, except to the extent such use (a) infringes the patent rights of a Coors Recipient or EDS Provider and is not otherwise authorized under this Agreement or (b) involves a disclosure of the Confidential Information of a Coors Recipient or EDS Provider. Each EDS Provider specifically acknowledges that any information relating to the manufacturing of beer or other malt-based or alcoholic beverages learned by EDS Personnel during the course of (and as a result of) providing Services is not Residual Subject Matter under this Section.
7.6 Non-Infringement
Each Coors Recipient and EDS Provider shall perform its obligations under this Agreement in a manner that does not infringe, or constitute an infringement or misappropriation of, any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any third party.
7.7 Disabling Code
No EDS Provider shall insert into any Software any code which would have the effect of disabling any Software, Equipment or portion of the Services. With respect to any disabling code that may be part of the Software, no EDS Provider shall invoke such disabling code at any time (whether during or after the Term (or the applicable Local Country Agreement Term)) for any reason.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Procedures Manual or any Coors Recipient’s existing procedures:
(a) No EDS Provider shall make any change that would have a material effect on the Services (including, without limitation, changes in Equipment, Software and systems configurations, changes that would affect the remigration of the Services back to the Coors Recipients or to a third party service provider, system-architecture changes, or changes that would affect end users), Service Levels, the amounts payable to the EDS Providers under this Agreement or other costs and expenses of the Coors Recipients without Coors’ prior written consent, [*****].

If EDS desires to propose a change in or addition to the Services or other aspects of this Agreement, it may do so by preparing [*****] and delivering a Change Control Document to the Coors Project Executive. A Change Control Document shall constitute an offer by EDS to implement the proposal described therein on the terms set forth therein, and shall be [*****].
(c) No change in or addition to the Services or any other aspect of this Agreement shall become effective without the written approval of both the Coors Project Executive and the EDS Project Executive.

43
9.11 Subcontracting
(a) No EDS Provider shall delegate or subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement without the applicable Coors Recipient’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in such Coors Recipient’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, but subject to clauses (c) and (d) below, the EDS Providers may, in the ordinary course of business: (i) enter into umbrella-type subcontracts (i.e., those that apply to Coors Recipients as well as other clients of the EDS Providers) with third parties to provide support services which will not cause such third parties to directly interact with Coors Recipients’ personnel or end users (such as umbrella software licenses, equipment purchase agreements, and agreements for janitorial or plumbing services); and (ii) subcontract with third parties to provide services that are specific to the Coors Recipients (including subcontracts which might cause such third parties to directly interact with the Coors Recipients’ personnel or end users) provided that each such subcontract (together with any related subcontracts) [*****]. Schedule 9.11 and any applicable Schedule 9.11(LCA) respectively list each EDS Provider subcontractor, for which a Coors Recipient’s approval would otherwise be required pursuant to this Section 9.11(a), that has been pre-approved by the applicable Coors Recipient as of the Commencement Date or as of an applicable Local Country Agreement Effective Date and the scope of services for which such approval has been granted. All subcontracts that are Assigned Contracts or Local Country Assigned Contracts shall be deemed to be approved by the Coors Recipients.
(b) If an EDS Provider desires to delegate or subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement in circumstances under which Coors’ approval is required pursuant to clause (a), it shall submit to Coors in writing a proposal specifying (i) the specific tasks which such EDS Provider proposes to subcontract, (ii) the reason for having a subcontractor perform such tasks instead of such EDS Provider, (iii) the identity and qualifications of the proposed subcontractor and (iv) any other information reasonably requested by Coors or relevant to Coors’ approval of the subcontractor.
(c) If an EDS Provider delegates or subcontracts any of its obligations under this Agreement (regardless of whether Coors’ prior written consent to such delegation or subcontracting is required pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 9.11), such EDS Provider shall include in such subcontract provisions (A) substantially similar to Article 8 (Confidentiality), Article 10 (Audits), Sections 18.3 through 18.8, inclusive (Dispute Resolution) and (B) any other provisions necessary for such EDS Provider to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, the obligation and restrictions set forth in Sections 6.7, 6.8, 8.4 and clause (d) below). With respect to any subcontract entered into on or after the Commencement Date, for which Coors’ consent is required pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 9.11, each EDS Provider shall, in addition to including the clauses identified in the preceding sentence, use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such subcontract a provision naming Coors as an intended third-party beneficiary of such subcontract. In addition, no EDS Provider shall disclose any Coors Confidential Information to any subcontractor until such subcontractor has agreed in writing to assume the obligations described in Article 8 (Confidentiality).
(d) Coors may revoke approval of a subcontractor previously approved, or object to an EDS Providers’ use of a subcontractor for which Coors’ approval was not required
44
pursuant to clause (a), if the subcontractor’s performance has been materially deficient, good faith doubt exists concerning the subcontractor’s ability to render future performance, or there have been material misrepresentations by or concerning the subcontractor. Coors may, in its discretion, allow EDS up to thirty (30) days to convince Coors that such revocation or objection is unwarranted. Upon such revocation or objection, the subcontracting EDS Provider shall remove such subcontractor from performing the Services.
(e) The EDS Providers shall remain liable for obligations performed by subcontractors to the same extent as if an EDS Provider’s employee had performed such obligations, and for purposes of this Agreement such work shall be deemed work performed by the EDS Providers.
(f) EDS acknowledges that it supports and recognizes the need to utilize small, small disadvantaged minority and/or women-owned business enterprises (“SDWBEs”) in the United States. In support of such initiative within the United States, EDS as a corporation has set a goal of spending [*****] with SDWBEs. EDS’ “Supplier Diversity Database” contains hundreds of certified SDWBEs, and EDS will use reasonable efforts to use these entities when appropriate as EDS Subcontractors to perform the Services in the United States. In the United States, EDS uses national associations and councils, state and federal government agencies, and local chamber organizations to gain access to SDWBEs. The EDS Supplier Diversity team is active in local, regional and national organizations. EDS also participates in trade shows, vendor fairs, and annual commemorative events. EDS designs and facilitates classes, seminars and site visits to educate, share and enhance minority and women suppliers. In furtherance of the foregoing goals and commitments, for Services performed by EDS in the United States, EDS shall comply with the “Coors Supplier Toolkit” attached hereto as Exhibit F including, without limitation, by submitting a report to the Coors Project Executive, in the form, and at the frequency specified in such Exhibit F. If Coors notifies EDS that Coors believes that EDS’ use of minority-owned subcontractors is unreasonably low, the appropriate EDS officials shall meet with Coors to discuss the reasons for the low usage, and EDS shall develop and implement a plan reasonably anticipated to increase such usage in the United States as practicable given the nature and scope of the Services and the quality requirements of Coors.
10.1 Audit Rights
Each EDS Provider shall maintain at all times while this Article survives (as specified in Section 10.4 (Survival)) a complete audit trail of all financial and non-financial transactions under this Agreement for the preceding three (3) complete calendar years (or the preceding seven (7) calendar years for Services performed under the Local Country Agreement between EDS-UK and CBL) in accordance with good practice in its industry and generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The EDS Providers shall provide to the Coors Recipients, their internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators and such other representatives as Coors may designate from time to time access at reasonable times and after reasonable notice (unless circumstances reasonably preclude such notice) to (i) the parts of any facility at which or from
45
which an EDS Provider is providing the Services (subject to compliance with such EDS Provider’s safety and security policies), (ii) EDS Personnel providing the Services, and (iii) all relevant data and records relating to the Services, for the purpose of performing audits and inspections of the Coors Recipients and their business, to verify the integrity of the Coors Recipients’ data, to examine the systems that process, store, support and transmit that data, and to examine the EDS Providers’ charges and performance of the Services under this Agreement. The foregoing audit rights shall include, without limitation, audits (A) of practices and procedures, (B) of systems, (C) of general controls and security practices and procedures, (D) of disaster recovery and backup procedures, (E) of the efficiency (in accordance with Section 9.10 [*****] of the EDS Providers in performing the Services, (F) of the EDS Providers charges under the Agreement and (G) necessary to enable the Coors Recipients and their Affiliates to meet applicable regulatory requirements. The EDS Providers shall provide full cooperation to such auditors, inspectors, regulators and representatives, including the installation and operation of audit software.
10.2 Payments
If an audit reveals that a EDS Provider has overcharged a Coors Recipient for Services during the audited period, such EDS Provider shall reimburse the applicable Coors Recipient for (i) such overpayment [*****]. Each EDS Provider shall pay such amount to the appropriate Coors Recipient within thirty (30) days after the Coors Recipient’s written request (which shall include the relevant portions of the audit report).
10.3 EDS and External Audits
EDS shall promptly report to Coors any material issues or problems discovered by any EDS Provider as a result of any internal or external review or audit conducted by the EDS Providers or their Affiliates, or by their respective contractors, agents or representatives relating to this Agreement or the Services, including reports of corrective actions taken as a result of such review or audit. EDS shall make available promptly to Coors each year upon request [*****] an external audit complying with SAS 70 Type II (or any successor standard approved by Coors) of the EDS Provider’s practices and procedures relating to its performance of the Services hereunder.
10.4 Survival
This Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or any Local Country Agreement Term and shall continue to the third (3rd) anniversary of the last day an EDS Provider provides any Termination Assistance.

If for any reason any such EDS Software is not available to the Coors Recipients or such Coors’ designee or cannot be licensed to the Coors Recipients or such Coors’ designee at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, EDS shall procure [*****] license for substitute Software with substantially equivalent functionality, [*****].
17.11 Third Party Contracts
Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Term or any Local Country Agreement Term, each EDS Provider shall, at Coors’ request, and to the extent permitted by the applicable Third Party Contract and any applicable Third Party Consent, assign to the appropriate Coors Recipient(s) or to Coors’ designee any Third Party Software Licenses (excluding EDS licenses also used to provide services to other EDS customers) and any Third Party Service Contracts (excluding EDS agreements also used to provide services to other EDS customers) used to provide goods or Services at the end of the Term or such Local Country Agreement Term.

17.13 Return of Confidential Information
Immediately upon termination or expiration of the Term (or the Local Country Agreement Term, as applicable), or otherwise at Coors’ request, the EDS Providers shall unconditionally return to the Coors Recipients all of Coors’ Confidential Information, including, without limitation, Coors Data, Coors Software, and Third Party Software licensed to Coors Recipients, in each case in the form maintained by the EDS Providers or as otherwise reasonably requested by Coors. No EDS Provider shall have any right to retain, encrypt, corrupt or destroy any of Coors’ Confidential Information, and each EDS Provider hereby waives any and all statutory or common law liens, claims of lien or similar rights, remedies or encumbrances that may now or hereafter exist and might limit or condition such EDS Provider’s obligations under this Section.
18.1 General
Any dispute or controversy between the Coors Recipients and EDS Providers with respect to the interpretation or application of any provision of this Agreement (including any provision of any Local Country Agreement) or the performance by the EDS Providers or Coors Recipients of their respective obligations hereunder shall be exclusively resolved as provided in this Article. For purposes of clarity, other than as specifically provided in this Article 18, it is the intent of the Parties that all disputes with respect to the interpretation or application of any provision of a Local Country Agreement be resolved by EDS on behalf of the applicable EDS Provider and Coors on behalf of the applicable Coors Recipient (as opposed to by the parties to a Local Country Agreement themselves) in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
80
18.2 Informal Dispute Resolution
The disputing parties may, if they mutually agree to do so, attempt to resolve the dispute informally in the following manner:
(a) Any Coors Recipient or EDS Provider may submit the dispute to a joint committee (the “Dispute Resolution Committee”), consisting of (i) Coors’ Chief Information Officer, and (ii) EDS’ Western Region Client Executive (or, in each case, any successor office assuming substantially all of such office’s responsibility). The Dispute Resolution Committee shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary to gather and analyze any information relevant to the resolution of the dispute. The Dispute Resolution Committee shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute.
(b) If the Dispute Resolution Committee determines in good faith that resolution through continued discussions by the Dispute Resolution Committee does not appear likely, the dispute shall be referred to the Steering Committee to negotiate a resolution of the dispute.
(c) During the course of negotiations, all reasonable requests made by one Party to the other for non-privileged information, reasonably related to the dispute, shall be honored in order that each of the Parties may be fully advised of the other’s position.
(d) The specific format for the discussions shall be determined at the discretion of the Dispute Resolution Committee or the Steering Committee, but may include the preparation of agreed upon statements of fact or written statements of position.
(e) Proposals and information exchanged during the informal proceedings described in this Article between the Parties shall be privileged, confidential and without prejudice to a Party’s legal position in any formal proceedings. All such proposals and information, as well as any conduct during such proceedings, shall be subject to Colorado Rules of Evidence, Rule 408, and shall be inadmissible in any subsequent proceedings (but this provision shall not be construed to render inadmissible documents or other evidence merely because they were referred to, transmitted or otherwise used in any such informal proceedings).
(f) Notwithstanding this Section 18.2, either Coors (on behalf of itself or on behalf of any other Coors Recipient which is a party to a dispute) or EDS (on behalf of itself or on behalf of any other EDS Provider which is a party to the dispute) may commence formal dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to Section 18.3(a) (Arbitration) with respect to any dispute without first observing the procedures set forth in this Section.
18.3 Arbitration
(a) Except as set forth in clause (b) below, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including for purposes of clarification, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to a Local Country Agreement), or any alleged breach hereof, including any controversy regarding the arbitrability of any dispute, shall be settled at the request of either Coors (on behalf of itself or on behalf of any other Coors Recipient which is a party to a dispute) or EDS (on behalf of itself or on behalf of any other EDS Provider which is a party to
81
the dispute) exclusively by binding arbitration in metropolitan Denver, Colorado before and in accordance with the then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”). In any dispute in which the amount in controversy is less [*****], there shall be one (1) arbitrator agreed to by the Parties or, if the Parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after demand for arbitration is made, selected in accordance with the Rules. In all other cases there shall be three (3) arbitrators, one (1) of whom shall be selected by Coors within thirty (30) days after demand for arbitration is made, one (1) of whom shall be selected by EDS within thirty (30) days after demand for arbitration is made, and one (1) of whom shall be selected by the two Party-appointed arbitrators within thirty (30) days after the date the last of them was selected. If one or more arbitrator(s) is not selected within the time period stated in the preceding sentence, such arbitrator(s) shall be selected pursuant to Rule 13 of the Rules. Any arbitrator(s) proposed by the American Arbitration Association shall have at least five (5) years experience in complex data processing transactions. The arbitrators shall apply the law set forth in Section 18.5 to govern this Agreement and shall have the power to award any remedy available at law or in equity; provided, however, that the arbitrators shall have no jurisdiction to amend this Agreement or grant any relief not permitted herein or beyond the relief permitted herein. Any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Coors Recipients and EDS Providers, and judgement on such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above:
(i) Coors (on behalf of itself or on behalf of any other Coors Recipient which is a party to a dispute) or EDS (on behalf of itself or on behalf of any other EDS Provider which is a party to the dispute) may request a court of competent jurisdiction described in Section 18.6 to grant provisional injunctive or other relief to such Party solely for the purpose of maintaining the status quo until an arbitrator can render an award on the matter in question and such award can be confirmed by a court having jurisdiction thereof.
(ii) If a third party brings a claim or lawsuit against any or all Coors Recipients or any or all EDS Providers relating in any way to this Agreement, the EDS Provider(s) or Coors Recipient(s) named in such claim or lawsuit may, at its (or their) option, file a cross-complaint against one or more EDS Provider(s) or one or more Coors Recipient(s), as the case may be, in such lawsuit with respect to the controversy or claim, in which case the controversy or claim shall be resolved by such court in lieu of arbitration.
(iii) If a controversy or claim is related in any way to a breach or threatened breach of provisions of this Agreement concerning Confidential Information or intellectual property, such controversy or claim shall, at the request of the affected Coors Recipient (which is a party to such controversy or claim) or the affected EDS Provider (which is a party to such controversy or claim), be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction described in Section 18.6.
(iv) If a controversy or claim is related in any way to a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement expressly providing for equitable remedies, the Party entitled to seek such remedies (as described in such provision) may, at its option, do so in a court of competent jurisdiction described in Section 18.6.
82
18.4 Continued Performance
Subject to Section 13.5 ([*****]), the Coors Recipients and EDS Providers shall continue performing their respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved in accordance with this Article, unless and until such obligations are terminated or expire in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
18.5 Applicable Law
All questions concerning the validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement (including, for purpose of clarification, any Local Country Agreement) shall be governed by and decided in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, as such laws are applied to contracts between Colorado residents that are entered into and performed entirely within the State of Colorado.
18.6 Jurisdiction and Venue
Coors and EDS hereby submit and consent to the exclusive (other than as described in Section 18.8 below) jurisdiction of any state or federal court with jurisdiction over Jefferson County, Colorado, and irrevocably agree that all actions or proceedings relating to this Agreement, other than any action or proceeding required by this Article to be submitted to arbitration, shall be litigated in such courts, and each of Coors and EDS waives any objection which it may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any such action or proceeding in such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Coors and EDS also consent to the jurisdiction of any court described in Section 18.3(b)(ii), with respect to claims and controversies described in such Section, and irrevocably agree that all such claims and controversies may be litigated in any such court, and waive any objection which they may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any such action or proceeding in any such court. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of Coors and EDS with respect to the arbitration of disputes pursuant to Section 18.3.
18.7 Fees and Costs
[*****]
18.8 Remedies
The Coors Recipients and EDS Providers agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement (i) concerning Confidential Information, (ii) concerning intellectual property rights or (iii) for which equitable remedies are expressly provided in this Agreement, money damages may be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly,
83
provisions concerning Confidential Information or intellectual property rights may be enforced by the preliminary or permanent, mandatory or prohibitory injunction or other order of a court of competent jurisdiction described in Section 18.6, and any Coors Recipient (including, but not limited to Coors) or EDS Provider (including, but not limited to EDS) may seek from a court of competent jurisdiction equitable remedies for breaches of any provisions expressly providing for such remedies. In the case of Coors or EDS, such court of competent jurisdiction shall be the courts described in Section 18.6 above. In the case of an EDS Provider other than EDS or a Coors Recipient other than Coors, such court of competent jurisdiction may be any court of competent jurisdiction in the country to which the Local Country Agreement to which such EDS Provider or Coors Recipient applies, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18.6 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any equitable relief sought or obtained by an EDS Provider (other than EDS) or a Coors Recipient (other than Coors) by courts other than those described in Section 18.6 above shall only be intended to maintain the status quo while any underlying substantive issues are resolved by EDS and Coors in accordance with the provisions of this Article 18.
19.1 Interpretation
(a) All Schedules are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among this Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement (excluding any Schedules hereto), the Local Country Agreements (excluding any Schedules thereto) and the Schedules, such conflict or inconsistency shall be resolved by giving precedence first to this Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement (excluding the Schedules hereto) second to the Local Country Agreements (excluding any Schedules thereto), and third to the Schedules. For purposes of clarity, to the extent that any Local Country Agreement (but not any Schedule) expressly states that a provision therein applies “notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement,” or words of similar effect, such provision of the Local Country Agreement shall not be deemed to conflict with or otherwise be inconsistent with this Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement.
(b) In this Agreement, words importing the singular number include the plural and vice versa and words importing gender include all genders. The word “person” includes, subject to the context in which it appears, an individual, partnership, association, corporation, trustee, executor, administrator or legal representative.
(c) In this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided:
(i) In the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding.”
(ii) References to a specified Article, Section, clause, subsection, Schedule or other subdivision shall be construed as references to that specified Article, Section,
84
clause, subsection, Schedule or other subdivision of this Amended and Restated Global Master Services Agreement unless the context otherwise requires.
(iii) The word “dollar” and the symbol “$” refer to the United States dollar, and the words “Pounds Sterling” and the symbol “£” refer to English pounds sterling.
(iv) As provided in Section 14.4(b) (Mutual Covenants), any reference to an approval or consent required of a party shall be deemed to include the phrase “which approval or consent shall not be unreasonably withheld” unless this Agreement grants such party the right to withhold such approval or consent in its sole discretion.
(d) The Coors Recipients and EDS Providers are sophisticated and have been represented by counsel during the negotiation of this Agreement. As a result, the Coors Recipients and EDS Providers believe the presumption of any laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter thereof should not apply, and hereby waive any such presumption.
19.2 Binding Nature and Assignment
Neither Party may assign (whether by merger, operation of law or otherwise) any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Coors may in its sole discretion assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate or to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of its assets or to any successor in a merger or acquisition; and provided further, that EDS may grant to its third party equipment lessors with respect to the Transferred Equipment EDS’ right to receive and collect the Monthly Current Asset Payments in accordance with this Agreement. No assignment by a Party shall relieve such Party of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
19.3 Expenses
In this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided, all costs and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of legal counsel) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.
19.4 Amendment and Waiver
No supplement, modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be binding unless executed in writing by Coors and EDS. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
85
19.5 Further Assurances
Each Coors Recipient and EDS Provider shall provide such further documents or instruments required by the other as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to give effect to this Agreement and to carry out its provisions.
19.6 Publicity

(b) All media releases, public announcements and other disclosures by any EDS Provider relating to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, including promotional or marketing material, but excluding announcements intended solely for internal distribution or to meet legal or regulatory requirements, shall be coordinated with and approved by Coors prior to release.
19.7 Severability
Any provision in this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
19.8 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, including the Schedules, constitutes the entire agreement between the Coors Recipients and EDS Providers pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Coors Recipients and EDS Providers pertaining to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the SAP Hardware Purchase Letter Agreement dated July 16, 2001 between EDS and Coors; provided, that the Consultant Agreement Number [*****] dated [*****] among Coors, EDS and Electronic Data Systems Corporation, and all Authorization Letters (as defined below), shall continue in force with respect to the matters described therein. There are no warranties, representations or other agreements between the Coors Recipients and EDS Providers in connection with the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 19.8, the term “Authorization Letters” means all letter agreements designated as “Authorization Letters” entered into between EDS and Coors under the Original Agreement that remain unexpired as of the Amendment Effective Date. For purposes of clarification, all Authorization Letters (as defined above) shall remain in full force and effect under this Agreement in accordance with their original terms. References in such Authorization Letters to various Sections and Schedules to the Original Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the corresponding Sections and Schedules hereof .
