(a) Service Provider may engage Service Provider Subcontractors [***]* of Client; provided, however, (i) such Subcontractors shall be reputable and qualified, (ii) no subcontracting shall relieve Service Provider of its performance

obligations under this Agreement because Service Provider shall remain primarily liable and obligated to Client for the timely and proper performance of all of Service Provider’s obligations hereunder even if such obligations are delegated to third party Subcontractors and/or Exult Canada Affiliates, and for the proper and timely performance and actions of such third party Subcontractors and/or Exult Canada Affiliates to which Service Provider delegates or subcontracts any such obligations; (iii) Service Provider shall require each Subcontractor to sign written confidentiality agreements that provide for the confidentiality and security of Client’s Confidential Information in a manner substantially similar to the provisions of this Agreement; (iv) Service Provider shall require each Subcontractor to sign written agreements granting and preserving any Intellectual Property rights in favor of Client as set forth in this Agreement; and (v) Service Provider shall comply with any requirements of Law or OSFI affecting its ability to engage Subcontractors.

To the best of Client’s knowledge, [***]*. Service Provider expressly acknowledges and agrees that it is only entitled to [***]* provided, however, Client agrees and acknowledges that Service Provider may [***]* for reasons unrelated to Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Service Provider shall remain liable for obligations performed by Service Provider Subcontractors in accordance with Section 6.02 to the same extent as if a Service Provider Personnel had performed such obligations, and for purposes of this Agreement and any Service Agreement such work shall be deemed work performed by Service Provider.

(e) Service Provider may use temporary staffing to perform Services, provided that such staffing personnel shall be subject to the same requirements as Service Provider’s Personnel delivering Services, and if the Client Account Manager believes that excessive use of temporary staffing is adversely affecting the Services, then the Account Managers will agree to a reasonable plan to resolve such concerns.

(f) Service Provider is the prime contractor for its performance of the Services, including all Services it delivers through its Service Provider Subcontractors and Third Party Vendors under Assigned Agreements and Replacement Agreements.

Any Assigned Agreement to which Client or Client Affiliate remains a party after assignment or novation, or any Replacement Agreement to which Client or Client

Affiliate is a party and which provides Client with remedies directly enforceable against a Third-Party Vendor shall be exempt from this Section solely to the extent provided for in the consent/novation of such Assigned Agreement or in the terms of the Replacement Agreement; provided that Service Provider expressly acknowledges and agrees that it will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce the balance of the remedies that Service Provider has against the Third-Party Vendor under the Assigned Agreement or Replacement Agreement.

(h) Service Provider will act as the liaison for all communications with its Service Provider Subcontractors. Client will not communicate directly with Service Provider Subcontractors unless otherwise agreed; Service Provider will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to have its Service Provider Subcontractors communicate through Service Provider unless otherwise agreed or reasonably required.

Service Provider will establish a Canadian-based Service Provider Location using, initially, the Client Premises. Service Provider agrees that it will advise Client reasonably in advance (sufficient to allow Client to obtain compliance with Client’s Regulatory Requirements, if required) of any restructuring of work (other than incidental work or as part of a DRP or Business Continuity Plan) that would result in the [***]* (“New Location”), and that Service Provider will (with Client’s reasonable cooperation) be responsible for insuring that all Service Provider Service Locations and Service Provider Subcontractors comply with all relevant provisions of this Agreement and applicable Law. Service Provider will cooperate with Client and/or Client Affiliates in Client’s efforts to meet Client’s Regulatory Requirements as they relate to any activities covered by this Section 13.05; provided that Service Provider expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Services will not be moved if Client is unable to obtain the Governmental Authority approval.

(i) any delivery of Services that requires direct communications with Client Group from a New Location must be in clear and understandable English and in French where required by Law,

(ii) the Services will be accessible and responsive notwithstanding the longer distance; by way of illustration, a 1-800 number or ability to e-mail forms,

(iii) New Location will comply with all labour and employment laws of the applicable local jurisdiction including payment of fair wages and will ensure that its labour and employment practices are consistent with international and local human rights practices and standards,

(iv) In addition to any agreements that this Agreement requires Service Provider Subcontractors to sign, Service Provider will ensure that it has in place a written agreement with its Service Provider Subcontractors at a New Location that promises their compliance with the terms of this Section 13.05 (b), and

(c) In addition, if any Consents are necessary or desirable after the initial assignment/novation of a Third-Party Vendor Contract has occurred, the Parties shall use Change Control to address additional Consents for such Third-Party Vendor Contract and [***]* associated therewith. Notwithstanding the previous statement and subject to (b) above, where an assignment or such additional Consents cannot be obtained [***]* Service Provider and Client will use reasonable efforts to [***]* and work around such issues.

(ii) disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.

(d) The Receiving Party may only disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to those of its employees, officers, directors, and agents, and, where the Receiving Party is Service Provider, Service Provider Subcontractors and Service Provider Staff, if and when such employees, agents, independent contractors, Service Provider Subcontractors and Service Provider Staff (a) have a need to know the information in order that Client or Service Provider, as the case may be, may meet its obligations under this Agreement, and (b) are under a written obligation with the Receiving Party to

EXHIBIT K

Change Control

1.	Introduction

This Change Control Exhibit describes the process (the “Change Control”) to be followed by Client and Service Provider when either Party wishes to make a change to the Services or any other terms and conditions under the Agreement (each “Change”). The Parties may, by joint written agreement, amend or waive any part of the Change Control process including, but not limited to, where the Parties agree that shorter or longer timeframes are more appropriate, provided that any Changes are recorded in a Change Proposal (as such term is defined in Section 2.3(b) below) and such Change Proposal is allocated a unique number by Service Provider and is signed by duly authorized representatives of Client and Service Provider.

1.1	The purposes and objectives of Change Control are as follows:

(a)

to review each request for a Change (a “Change Request”) to determine whether such Change is appropriate;

(b)

to determine whether a Change is within the scope of the Services or constitutes a New Service

(c)

to prepare a more detailed proposal to implement a Change Request (such proposal, a “Change Proposal”)

(d)

to prioritize all Change Requests and Change Proposals;

(e)

to minimize the risk of exceeding both time and cost estimates, if any, associated with the requested Change by identifying, documenting, quantifying, controlling, managing and communicating: (i) Change Requests, (ii) the preparation of Change Proposals, and (iii) their disposition;

(f)

to identify the different roles, responsibilities and actions that shall be assumed and taken by the Parties to define and implement the Changes; and

(g)

to document a Change whether or not such Change results in any extra Charge.

1.2	Each Party shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by its employees, agents and subcontractors with respect to its participation in, and responsibilities and obligations under, Change Control, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing by both Parties.

2.0

Change Control

2.1

Either Service Provider or Client may initiate a Change Request by delivering to the other’s Account Manager or his/her nominated representative a writing that describes the Change and sets forth the reasons for it. Service Provider shall assign a unique number to any such request and shall register the Change Request in the Change Request Log as described in Section 7.1. Each Change Proposal that may be prepared for a Change Request shall be tracked by reference to the Change Request to which it relates.

2.2

Each Party’s respective Account Manager or his/her nominated representatives shall be responsible for reviewing and considering any Change Request, and shall approve it for further investigation, if deemed necessary.

In accordance with Section 7.2, the Account Managers shall be responsible for keeping up to date the status of each Change Request in the Change Request Log as the status of the Change Request changes through Change Control.

2.3

For each Change Request that the Parties have approved for further investigation, regardless of which Party has proposed or investigated the Change, Service Provider shall prepare and submit to Client within [***]* (or as otherwise agreed), with Client’s reasonable cooperation and provision of any information reasonably requested by Service Provider, a preliminary written report.

Subject to Section 8.01(e) of the Agreement (Mandatory Changes), no part of the discussions or interchanges between the Parties shall obligate the Parties to approve any Change or shall constitute an amendment or waiver of the Agreement unless and until reflected in a Change Proposal and adopted in accordance with this Change Control Exhibit.

Failure to Agree

5.1

In the event that the Party requesting a Change believes that the requested Change is required or necessary, the requesting Party shall inform the other Party in writing of the reasons why the Change is required and the impact if it is not implemented or the reasons why a Change to the Charges is justified and equitable. In the event that the other Party does not agree to implement the Change, the requesting Party shall be entitled to consider the other Party’s failure to agree to implement the Change as a dispute, and the requesting Party may escalate such dispute for resolution in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Exhibit K. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.1 does not apply to Mandatory Changes initiated by Client pursuant to Section 8.01 (Mandatory Changes) of the Agreement; provided, however, Service Provider may still pursue a dispute relating to such Mandatory Changes.

Emergency Change Process; Compulsory Changes

6.1

In the event that either Party requires a Change in order to respond to an emergency and such Change would, in the reasonable opinion of the requesting Party, if it was not implemented until Change Control had been followed, have a detrimental effect on the requesting Party’s ability to meet its obligations pursuant to the Agreement, the requesting Party shall make all reasonable efforts to contact the other Party’s Account Manager, and if the requesting Party is unable to contact the other Party’s Account Manager after reasonable efforts, the requesting Party shall, where appropriate and practical, make all reasonable efforts to contact the other Party’s designated member of the Executive Steering Committee. If the requesting Party is unable to contact either the other Party’s Account Manager or the other Party’s designated Executive Steering Committee member, the requesting Party may make temporary Changes to the Services without the prior consent of the other Party. The requesting Party shall notify the other Party as soon as practicable but no later than 72 hours after the event of such Change and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than seven (7) calendar days thereafter) document and report in writing on such Changes to the other Party. Any agreed Change as a result shall be agreed in accordance with Change Control. Disputes regarding any extra Charges for Changes under this Section 6 are subject to Article 21 of the Agreement.

6.2

Notwithstanding the Change consideration and implementation process outlined in Sections 2 and 3 of this Change Control Exhibit but in all events subject to Section 5.1 above, if a Change requested by Client is a Mandatory Change (as defined hereafter), Service Provider shall immediately begin implementing as appropriate the Change upon request by Client. Service Provider shall also prepare and deliver to Client a Change Proposal related to the Mandatory Change on an expedited basis, where appropriate, and the Parties shall work together in good faith to determine the impact on the Agreement or Service Agreement (including without limitation, any impact on the Charges) as a result of implementing the Mandatory Change. If the Parties are unable to agree on the impact on the Agreement or Service Agreement within [***]* after Client has received the Change Proposal from Service Provider, either Party may consider such failure to agree to be a dispute, and may escalate such dispute for resolution in accordance

with the Dispute Resolution provisions of the Agreement. A “Mandatory Change” shall be any Change requested by Client (a) that is reasonably required to comply with any Law; or (b) for Service Provider to perform services critical to Client’s business where such services are not within the scope of the Services, but are not materially different in nature or kind from the Services.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

(Audits)

In connection with an audit (the “Audit”) of Exult Canada, Inc., a Canadian Federal corporation, or one or more of its Affiliates (“Exult”), conducted pursuant to a Master Services Agreement entered into between Exult Canada, Inc. and Bank of Montreal (“Client”) as of (the “Services Agreement”), (“Recipient”) will receive or have access to certain Evaluation Material (as defined below) of Exult. The employees or partners of Recipient who will conduct the Audit are referred to herein as the “Reviewers.” This Confidentiality Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into among Exult Canada, Inc., Client and Recipient with respect to the Audit and Evaluation Material to be provided to the Reviewers by Exult in connection therewith. For purposes hereof, an “Affiliate” of an entity is a person or entity Controlling, Controlled by, or under common control with, that entity. “Control” means, with respect to any entity, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interest, by contract or otherwise. The parties acknowledge and agree that an Audit may require Recipient and Reviewer access to Evaluation Material of or one or more of Exult Canada’s Subcontractors (defined in the Services Agreement as “Service Provider Subcontractors”). In that event, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

In consideration of access to the Evaluation Material, Recipient and Client shall keep the Evaluation Material confidential. Recipient and Client shall not use Evaluation Material for any purpose other than the Audit or provide copies of the Evaluation Material to any persons other than the Reviewers and representatives of Client Group who need access to the Evaluation Material to receive and review the Audit results. For the purposes hereof, “Client Group” means Client and its Affiliates. Recipient’s access to Exult’s systems, data, facilities and personnel shall be solely for purposes of the Audit and Recipient shall comply with Exult’s reasonable security and access restrictions. For these purposes, use of Evaluation Material for purposes of the Audit includes review of the Evaluation Material, preparation by the Reviewers of summaries and analyses, delivery of such summaries and analyses to representatives of Client, and discussion of the Evaluation Material among such persons, but no other uses. Without limiting the foregoing, Recipient shall refrain from trading in securities of Exult while in possession of Evaluation Material that material nonpublic information.

Recipient shall, upon request of Exult Canada, Inc. inform Exult in writing of the names of all Reviewers and cause the Reviewers to abide by this Agreement. Recipient hereby represents to Exult that all Reviewers are bound by written contract or legal duty to Recipient to abide by confidentiality obligations that are no less favourable than are found in this Agreement, and upon reasonable request by Exult Canada, Inc., Recipient will cause all Reviewers to execute and deliver to Exult an undertaking to abide by this Agreement as applicable to Recipient. In addition, Recipient shall not permit any person employed or engaged in any business or division of Recipient that provides human resources consulting or business process services to act as a Reviewer, and shall not permit any of Recipient’s employees, partners, contractors, advisors or other representatives, other than the Reviewers, to have access to any Evaluation Material or to participate in any way in the Audit.


Exhibit M – FINAL		2
April 23, 2003


Proprietary and Confidential		BMO / Exult

If Recipient is requested in any proceeding to disclose Evaluation Material, it will give Exult prompt notice of such request so that Exult may seek an appropriate protective order. If Exult is unable to obtain a protective order, or the Evaluation Material is not otherwise subject to a protective order, and Recipient is nonetheless compelled to disclose Evaluation Material, Recipient may disclose such information without liability hereunder; provided, however, that it gives Exult written notice of the Evaluation Material to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable and, upon Exult’s request, uses reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that such Evaluation Material will be treated as confidential.

Upon the request of Exult Canada, Inc., Recipient will promptly deliver to Exult all copies of the Evaluation Material and will cease any use of the Evaluation Material in any manner or media; provided, however, that the Reviewer in charge of the performance of the Audit may, subject to this Agreement, maintain Recipient’s professional work paper record of the Audit, which may include Evaluation Material, in his or her personal files subject to his or her own supervision and control to the extent he or she determines, in his or her professional judgment, that retention is reasonably necessary to protect Recipient’s and Client Group’s legal interests.

The “Evaluation Material” includes all information (whether written or oral) related to Exult and its business, contracts, processes, operations, financial condition, plans and strategies that is made available at any time (whether before or after the date hereof) by Exult to the Recipient or the Recipient’s representatives in connection with the Audit, and all extracts therefrom and analyses thereof and works derivative therefrom prepared by Recipient or the Reviewers, but does not include information that Auditor can show (i) was in the public domain before the date of this agreement or subsequently came into the public domain other than as a result of breach by Recipient, the Reviewers or Client of any obligation to Exult; or (ii) was lawfully received by Recipient from a third party free of any obligation of confidence of or to such third party or was lawfully in the possession of Recipient before receipt from Exult; or (iii) is independently developed by Recipient without use of the Evaluation Material.

Exult, by this Agreement, (i) makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy or completeness of any Evaluation Material provided to Recipient, or (ii) undertakes no obligation with respect to the Audit; provided that this provision does not diminish Exult Canada, Inc.’s obligations with respect to Audits under the Services Agreement.

During the Audit, Exult agrees to cooperate reasonably with Recipient and the Reviewers in performance of the Audit, provided that this obligation to cooperate will not require Exult to bear any out-of-pocket expenses or commit significant internal resources without agreement between Exult and Client, and provided further that except as required by Law or Governmental Authority Exult’s obligation to cooperate will be subject to Exult’s reasonable discretion in determining what information is not appropriate for inclusion in the Evaluation Material or other disclosure. It is acknowledged that Exult is providing Evaluation Material to Recipient and the Reviewers under this Agreement to facilitate the performance by Recipient, acting through the Reviewers, of the Audit. In consideration of receipt of Evaluation Material, Recipient and the Reviewers agree that Exult will have no obligation to make any payments to Recipient or any Reviewer in connection with or as a result of the Audit, and Recipient and the Reviewers will not bring or maintain any legal action against Exult arising from or in connection with the Audit or Exult’s provision to Recipient and the Reviewers of Evaluation Materials. Without limiting the foregoing, Recipient and the Reviewers will


Exhibit M – FINAL		3
April 23, 2003


Proprietary and Confidential		BMO / Exult

not attempt to recover from Exult in any way in respect of any liabilities Recipient or the Reviewers may incur to Client or any third party as a result of or in connection with performance by Recipient or the Reviewers of the Audit or use of the Evaluation Material.

The Recipient will not make any public disclosure about the Audit except if and to the extent required by Law.

For a period of [***]* from the date of this Agreement, Recipient will not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment by the Recipient or any third party any employee of Exult, Inc. or Exult Canada, Inc., provided that this will not prohibit Recipient from employing persons who approach Recipient on their own initiative or in response to public advertising by Recipient without any direct or indirect solicitation or encouragement from Recipient or any Reviewer.

Recipient acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this agreement by Recipient and that in addition to all other remedies, Exult shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach, and Recipient waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada, as applicable, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws, principles or rules. If there is any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs, including without limitation its attorneys’ fees and costs, from the nonprevailing party.

No failure by either party hereto in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right will preclude any other or further exercise of any right.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original but both of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Further, Service Provider’s obligation to provide Evaluation Material and cooperation will not require Service Provider to bear any out-of-pocket expenses or commit significant internal resources without agreement between Service Provider and Client. Client consents to Service Provider’s provision of such Evaluation Material and cooperation to Consultant.

It is not a breach of this Agreement to disclose Evaluation Material with the prior written consent of the Service Provider.

For a period of [***]* from the date of this Agreement, Consultant will not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment by the Consultant or any third party any employee of Service Provider or any of Service Provider’s Affiliates, provided that this will not prohibit Consultant from employing persons who approach Consultant on their own initiative or in response to public advertising by Consultant without any direct or indirect solicitation or encouragement from Consultant or any Reviewer.

Client will expect the Service Provider to react to the escalation by providing the appropriate amount of attention and resources to resolve the problem in accordance with the Service Levels associated with the revised severity level. Should Client request and Service Provider not agree to escalate the severity level, Client may appeal Supplier’s decision using the Dispute Resolution Section 1.6 of this Schedule.

1.7.5

Service Provider will take a proactive approach to notifying both Service Provider management and Client management according to the table below.

SCHEDULE B

Service Levels

1.0

Introduction

This Schedule describes the principles and parameters governing the Service Levels that will be measured. This Schedule also describes certain principles for how Service Levels and changes to Service Levels shall be established.

There are two types of Service Levels that shall be measured and reported:

1.1

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – These are a limited number of Service Levels that the Parties agree would warrant a Service Credit if not met unless for reasons of Excused Performance Problems as defined in the MSA; and

1.2

Reporting Service Levels (RSLs) - These Services Levels measure Service Provider’s performance of the Services using a range of quantitative and qualitative metrics. Failure to achieve RSLs will not give rise to any Service Credits.

2.0

Definitions

“Interim Service Level” has the meaning of a Service Level that is in effect [***]*

3.0

Principles Governing Service Levels

3.1

Service Levels shall be used to measure the quality and timeliness of Service Provider’s performance of the Services. The Service Levels are the minimally acceptable levels of service for the Services.

3.2

Increased Impact Level for Service is a Service Level significantly degraded from the Service Level and as such Services provided at this level or lower have a greater impact on the Client Group.

3.3

Service Levels are, and new Service Levels or changes to Service Levels shall be, based on objective and clearly defined, measurable criteria.

3.4

Certain Service Levels shall be designated as KPIs as mutually agreed by the Parties.

3.5

Service Levels measure aspects of performance that are clearly identifiable by the Client business users as critical to the Client Group’s business.

3.6

Service Provider will be accountable for Service Level performance failures under Service Provider’s control, but will not be responsible for failures due to Excused Performance Problems.

3.7

Agreed target metrics for KPIs will not be subject to Service Credits immediately following the [***]* (as defined in Schedule C) unless there is a validated and documented [***]* history, unless otherwise mutually agreed, of Client meeting or achieving those target metrics using the same systems and resources that will be transferred to or made available to Service Provider. Where insufficient history is available, the Parties will use the process in Section 4.2 below to set metrics.


Schedule B – Service Levels Final		1 of 18		April 23, 2003


Proprietary and Confidential		BMO / Exult

3.8

At all times during the Term, unless otherwise mutually agreed, Service Provider shall provide the Services in a manner that meets or exceeds the then-existing Service Levels. The remedies for failure to do so shall include the remedies defined in this Service Agreement and the Master Agreement.

4.0

Process

Target metrics for KPIs and RSLs are set forth in the tables below. Other Service Level metrics will be determined following the Service Agreement Effective Date using Change Control and the procedures below.

4.1

Measurement

KPIs and RSLs shall be measured on a regular basis. For KPIs and RSLs where a target has been identified and agreed to prior to the Effective Date as indicated in Section 5.0 of this Schedule B, this measurement shall be initiated on the [***]*.

4.2

KPI/RSL Metric Validation

For KPI/RSLs, for which insufficient relevant Client historical performance data is available, the Parties will establish KPI/RSL target metrics as follows: Data will be monitored for [***]* and a target then set. Target will be monitored with no Service Credit for [***]*, then KPI with service credits or the RSL will be agreed. The foregoing process is referred to in the tables below as “3/3” for purposes of establishing metrics.

4.3

Key Performance Indicator Table

These KPIs shall be applicable to Service Provider performance of Services for such Process beginning with the first full calendar month following the [***]* for such Process unless otherwise agreed. The KPI’s are weighted as shown in the table below.

4.4

KPI Process Weightings

The Client shall assign each KPI a weighting of no less than [***]* of Fees at Risk and no greater than [***]* of the Fees at Risk unless otherwise agreed (including the Payroll measure indicated below). The total KPI process weighting for all KPI Service Levels shall equal 100%. Upon [***]* advance notice to Service Provider (e.g. [***]* notice for changing severity weights would take effect [***]*) Client may adjust the Severity weights of the respective Service Levels as Client deems appropriate so long as the total of such percentages does not exceed 100%.

4.5

Fees at Risk Amount

The amount of Fees at Risk each month shall be [***]* of the Baseline Charges for such month, and the aggregate Fees at Risk annually shall be [***]* of the Baseline Charges for the Contract Year.

5.0

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

[***]*

6.0

Reporting Service Levels (RSLs)

The following RSLs have been agreed upon between the Parties as of the Effective Date. Such RSLs shall be applicable to Service Provider’s performance of Services for such Process beginning with the first full calendar month following the [***]* for such Process unless otherwise agreed.

7.0

Annual Service Level Review

The Executive Steering Committee (1) shall review the Service Levels annually, (2) use Change Control with respect to changing any Service Levels as a result of this annual review or when certain Service Levels are no longer appropriate because of an increase, decrease or change to the Services and (3) with respect to all other Service Levels, review the Service Levels for the subsequent Contract Year. In addition, either Party may, at any time upon notice to the other Party, initiate negotiations to review and, upon the Parties’ mutual agreement using Change Control process, adjust any Service Level. The Parties may agree to adjust Service Levels upward via Change Control as performance improves, when Service Levels are consistently exceeded.

8.0

Service Credits

8.1

The terms relating to Service Credits as liquidated are set forth in Article 7 of the MSA.

8.2

A failure to meet the KPIs set out in this Schedule B shall entitle Client to recover the applicable Service Credits as a payment or credit as set out in Schedule C

8.3

If a single event or series of related events causes multiple failures to meet the KPIs, Service Provider’s liability shall be limited to the largest applicable Service Credit payable for a single failure by Service Provider to meet the KPIs (i.e., the larger of the Service Credits).

8.4

Service Credits shall be calculated on a [***]* basis and credited or paid on an [***]* basis.

8.5

Earn back of Service Credits will be available to Service Provider as follows: if Service Provider fails to achieve [***]* KPIs [***]* during any Contract Year, but during that Contract Year achieves [***]*, then the Service Credit for the [***]* miss of a KPI during such Contract Year shall be “earned back” by Service Provider and no Service Credit shall be due the Client for such failure. No earn back is available to Service Provider for a KPI if Service Provider misses that KPI [***]* during a Contract Year.

8.6

Service Level Termination Event is an occurrence or series of occurrences of deficient performance by Service Provider in performing the Services as specified in the Service Level Agreement as a “Service Level Termination Event. The occurrence of a Service Level Termination Event constitutes a material breach of Service Provider’s performance obligations under this Agreement and gives Client the right to terminate this Agreement for cause.

8.7

Relief from Service Credits:

Service Provider shall be relieved of its responsibility to meet KPI Service Levels, and for associated Service Credits, to the extent that Service Provider is unable to achieve the specific Service Levels as a result of Excused Performance Problems.

9.0

Service Level Termination Event

Client will be entitled to terminate the Agreement for cause based upon Service Provider’s failures to meet KPIs and increased impact levels of KPIs (“Failure Event”) where such failures are of a repeated nature at the levels set forth in Table 9.0 below.

BMO hereby agrees to provide the Provided Services to Exult at BMO’s expense in the same manner that the Provided Services are provided to BMO’s premises in the Building.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a)

Exult shall pay to BMO all charges for excessive use of any Provided Services over and above the level used generally by office tenants in the Building and for any special services requested by Exult and provided by BMO. Such charges shall be payable within [***]* of demand. BMO may require Exult to install a separate meter or check meter at Exult’s expense if BMO reasonably determines that a separate meter is appropriate having regard to Exult’s likely usage of any Provided Services. BMO may, where it deems appropriate, engage a qualified engineer or consultant to advise on any matter referred to in this section, and such party’s decision shall be binding on BMO and Exult; and

(b)

[***]* shall pay or cause to be paid all business taxes, rates, taxes and assessments, of whatsoever kind or description, that may at any time during the continuance of this Agreement be imposed or become due and payable upon or in respect of the installation, operation, repair or maintenance of the equipment of Exult or resulting from the use of the Licensed Premises by Exult. Such charges shall be payable to [***]* within [***]* of demand or, at [***]* election, directly to the taxing authority, and all such charges shall be deemed [***]* under Schedule C of the MSA.

Section 6.2 of Schedule C of the MSA shall govern the treatment of any late payments by Exult hereunder.

Exult and BMO hereby agree that the limitations of liability set forth in Article 25 of the MSA shall apply to the parties hereunder and such provisions are hereby incorporated by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, [***]* shall not apply to the non-payment of the License Fee and other charges hereunder.

6. Lease Negotiation. Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, upon the earlier of (a) [***]* following the Effective Date and (b) such time as Exult elects to use all or part of the Licensed Premises to provide services to a non-BMO entity, Exult may give notice to BMO that it desires to remain in the Licensed Premises until [***]*. If Exult gives such notice then Exult and BMO shall negotiate in good faith to enter into a formal lease or sublease (as applicable) of the Licensed Premises (a) on the standard form in use by BMO for the Building (b) at the Set Price and (c) pursuant to such other terms as the parties may agree. As used herein, the Set Price shall mean, at any point in time, the “all-in” price per square foot that BMO is generally [***]* (or, if BMO is the landlord, the amount charged by BMO to the BMO user group), and is currently equal to [***]*/square foot (Canadian Dollars). The Set Price for any future point in time shall be determined in a manner consistent with the current determination (which currently results in [***]*/square foot). If a formal lease or sublease is not entered into on or before the date that is [***]* following the Effective Date, then Exult shall have no further rights to lease or use the Licensed Premises and shall vacate the Licensed Premises on the expiry of the Term herein.

7. Condition of Licensed Premises. Exult has examined and agrees to accept the Licensed Premises “as is”, in its currently existing condition and understands that no work is to be performed by BMO in connection with Exult ‘s use and occupancy thereof, except that BMO shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) deliver to Exult possession of the Licensed Premises in broom clean condition on the Commencement Date, along with the BMO Furnishings, and (ii) on or prior to the Commencement Date, perform in compliance with all applicable laws and contractual obligations, the improvements (the “Work”) described in Exhibit C hereto; provided, that Exult shall pay for any such improvements

Exult shall at all times at its own expense (subject to BMO’s obligation under this Agreement to provide janitorial service) keep the Licensed Premises and its contents, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all leasehold improvements, fixtures, doors, walls, floors and ceilings in a neat, clean and tidy condition, painted and decorated, and in good and substantial repair.

Exult agrees that it shall not make any alterations, improvements or installations in the Licensed Premises without the prior written consent of BMO, except that Exult may alter the Licensed Premises without BMO’s consent if such alterations (i) are non-structural, (ii) do not exceed [***]* in total cost in each instance, (iii) comply with BMO’s reasonable rules and regulations, (iv) do not impact on Building HVAC, electrical, life safety, or plumbing systems, and (v) comply with all local laws, rules and ordinances. Any work shall be performed only by competent persons whose labour affiliations are compatible with those of others employed by BMO or its contractors. In

performing any work, Exult, its employees, agents and invitees shall not interfere with the use and enjoyment of other tenants’ premises or with the use and enjoyment of the common areas.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Exult is permitted, at its own cost, to erect signage or other branding equal in prominence and size to any BMO signage or branding in the Licensed Premises and, subject to BMO’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, in the elevator lobby of each floor serving the Licensed Premises. Exult shall not be entitled to any signage or other branding in the main lobby of the Building or on the exterior of the Building or that may otherwise be visible from the exterior of the Building; provided, Exult shall be entitled to list its office space in any general lobby directory.

If Exult elects to provide its own computer hardware and software necessary for the conduct of its business, (a) Exult and BMO shall coordinate the technical configurations for network and voice systems for Exult’s business operations within the Licensed Premises and (b) BMO shall grant Exult permission to house Exult’s switching equipment in a small locked cabinet within BMO’s closet located in the adjacent portion of BMO’s leased premises. Exult’s network shall be operational for access to Exult data upon connecting BMO’s cabling from Exult’s desktop equipment in the Licensed Premises to Exult’s DSL switch in BMO’s closet. Exult shall have access to BMO data for the sole purpose of performing the Services defined in the Service Agreement, via a remote, secure T-1 firewall connection.

Subject to Section 7 below, except for either party’s liability for its own [***]*, neither party shall have any liability to the other for any consequential, indirect, special, incidental or punitive damages arising from or relating to the Licensed Premises, their obligations under this Agreement or otherwise, including for loss of data, lost profits, loss of goodwill or otherwise, even if either has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

8. BMO’s Obligations. Provided Exult timely pays all License Fees pursuant to this Agreement and complies with all of its other obligations hereunder, BMO shall comply with all of its obligations and covenants expressed or implied hereunder and under its Building lease with respect to the Licensed Premises, and shall not take any action that would impair Exult’s rights hereunder.

9. Indemnification and Insurance. Exult hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to BMO) and hold BMO, harmless from and against all claims and lawsuits for property (real and personal) damage and bodily injuries (including death resulting therefrom), which shall occur in or about the Licensed Premises or which shall result from any occurrence in, on or at the Licensed Premises or from the occupancy or use by Exult of the Licensed Premises or any other part of the Building or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Exult, its officers, employees, agents, contractors, invitees, licensees or by any person permitted by Exult to be on the Licensed Premises or the Building or due to or arising out of any breach by Exult of this Agreement.

BMO hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Exult) and hold Exult harmless from and against all claims and lawsuits for property (real and personal) damage

and bodily injuries (including death resulting therefrom), which shall occur in or about the Licensed Premises, and to the extent caused by the negligence or willful acts of BMO, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees.

During the entire Term of this Agreement, at its sole expense, Exult shall maintain (i) Worker’s Compensation with statutory limits, (ii) Employers’ Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of at least [***]*, and (iii) Commercial General Liability Insurance, including Broad Form Property Damage and Contractual Liability, with a minimum limit of at least [***]*. The Commercial General Liability Insurance shall include BMO as an additional insured. Exult shall deliver to BMO certificates of such insurance or a certified copy of each such policy of insurance prior to the commencement of the Term and thereafter as reasonably required by BMO.

Exult and BMO each hereby release the other, and waives their entire right of recovery against the other, for loss or damage to their respective property (real and personal) in, on or about the Building and Licensed Premises, whether due to the negligence of Exult or BMO or their agents, employees, contractors and/or invitees and any sublicensees of Exult, if any, or otherwise.

10. Force Majeure. “Force Majeure Event” means fire, flood, war, civil disturbances, acts of civil or military authorities or the public enemy, or other similar causes outside the impacted party’s reasonable control. Subject to Section 9 below, neither Exult nor BMO shall be liable to the other if it is prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement by a Force Majeure Event, provided the inability to perform could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence and judgment and the non-performing party made all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of such inability to perform.

Exult acknowledges that BMO’s head landlord has a right to terminate the head lease in the event of certain damage or destruction. If the head landlord serves on BMO notice to terminate the head lease in such circumstances or in the event the Building will not be rebuilt, BMO may elect to terminate this Agreement by notice to Exult.

11. License Fee Abatement. In the event Exult is deprived of the use and occupancy of a portion or all of the Licensed Premises for a period of at least [***]* consecutive days (whether from a Force Majeure Event or from BMO’s default), then from and after the [***]* day until the service is restored, then Exult shall be entitled to an abatement in License Fees, pro rata.

12. End of Term. Upon the expiration or sooner termination date of this Agreement, Exult will (i) surrender and vacate the Licensed Premises in broom clean, in good order, repair and condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and (ii) remove all of its property and all partitions wholly within the Licensed Premises and shall repair any damages to the Licensed Premises, BMO’s premises or the Building caused by their installation or by such removal.

13. No Lease. This Agreement grants a license only; it shall not be deemed a lease, and Exult shall not be deemed a tenant of the Building having a leasehold or other possessory interest in the Licensed Premises. This Agreement grants to Exult only a personal privilege to use and occupy the Licensed Premises for the License Term on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Exult hereby waives any right that Exult may have as a tenant under applicable law with respect to the Licensed Premises.

14. Notices. Any notice, demand, bill, invoice, statement or communication which either BMO or Exult may desire or be required to give to the other in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if sent by (i) Certified or Registered Mail, Return Receipt Requested, or (ii) a nationally recognized overnight courier, such as Airborne Express or Federal Express, to such other party at the following addresses:

BMO and/or the Building owner may from time to time effect changes, alterations, enclosures, expansions, reductions, replacements or repairs to all or any part of the Building other than the Licensed Premises; provided, that the foregoing shall not materially impact or impair Exult’s ability to access the Licensed Premises and any common areas to which Exult is otherwise entitled to access

BMO and persons authorized by it may enter the Licensed Premises at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice to examine the condition thereof and Exult shall promptly repair in accordance with notice in writing given by BMO.

In so doing, BMO shall interfere as little as possible with the Licensed Premises and the business of Exult, but shall not be liable to Exult with respect to any interference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Exult shall be entitled to require that any non-Exult personnel be accompanied by an Exult employee while on the Licensed Premises.

18. Default and Remedies.

If and whenever:

(a)

Exult fails to keep, observe or perform any of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements herein contained which Exult is required to keep, observe or perform for [***]* after notice in writing of such failure has been given to Exult and such failure has not been cured;

Waiver by a party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be considered as or constitute a waiver or waivers of any subsequent breach of such provision or any other breach of any provision of this Agreement. No course of dealing among Exult and BMO nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any party hereto. No condoning, excusing or overlooking by BMO of any default, breach or non-observance by Exult at any time or times in respect of any covenants, provisos or conditions contained in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of BMO’s rights hereunder in respect of any continuing or subsequent default, breach or non-observance so as to defeat or affect such continuing or subsequent default or breach, and no waiver shall be inferred or implied by anything done or omitted by BMO, save only an express waiver in writing.

AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF DECEMBER 24, 2003


Sch. Y – FINAL VERSION

BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT

This Business Associate Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into, effective as of April 23, 2003 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Exult, Inc. (“Business Associate”) and Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the “Plan Sponsor”) on behalf of the Group Medical Plan of BMO/Harris, the Group Dental Plan of BMO/Harris and the BMO/Harris Cafeteria Plan (individually, a “Plan”, or collectively, the “Plans”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Business Associate provides certain administrative services and certain other services for, or on behalf of, the Plan Sponsor, and Business Associate receives, has access to or creates Protected Health Information in order to perform such services; and

WHEREAS, The Plans are “covered entities” as that term is defined in HIPAA and therefore are subject to the Administrative Simplification requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191 (“HIPAA”), including the Privacy Standards (45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164); and

WHEREAS, HIPAA requires the Plan Sponsor to enter into a contract, on behalf of the Plans, with Business Associate to provide for the protection of the privacy and security of Protected Health Information, and HIPAA prohibits the disclosure to or use of Protected Health Information by Business Associate if such a contract is not in place; and

WHEREAS, Plan Sponsor desires to delegate certain of the Plans’ duties to Business Associate and Business Associate desires to assume such duties subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Service Agreement (as defined below).

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Section 2.7. Mitigation. Business Associate agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that is known to Business Associate of a use or disclosure of Protected Health Information by Business Associate in violation of this Agreement.

any further uses and disclosures of such Protected Health Information to the purpose or purposes which make the return or destruction of such Protected Health Information infeasible.

Introduction

There are two types of Service Levels that shall be measured and reported:

1.1

1.2

Reporting Service Levels (RSLs) – These Services Levels measure Service Provider’s performance of the Services using a range of quantitative and qualitative metrics. Failure to achieve RSLs will not give rise to any Service Credits.

2.0

Definitions

3.0

Principles Governing Service Levels

3.4

Certain Service Levels shall be designated as KPIs as mutually agreed by the Parties.
