 2.5Service Provider shall have no liability for a failure to achieve a KPI that is not achieved due to any of the causes set forth in Section 6.07 of this Agreement.

 

3Process

 

Prior to the Effective Date, the Parties agreed on certain KPI Service Level measurements, metrics and target metrics as well as the RSL measurements identified below.

Transition Planning

 

1Introduction

 

This Schedule sets forth the Transition approach and initial Transition Plan for conducting the transfer of services, people and facilities from Client to Service Provider and the transition approach that shall be followed. The specific deliverables and milestones for the transition approach shall be as identified in the attached exhibits to this schedule with minor adjustments to be mutually agreed during the [***]* period following the Effective Date.

 

2Transition Planning Principles

 

 2.1Transition is a joint responsibility. Service Provider is responsible for management of the overall transition program and Client has responsibility for providing the appropriate level of participation and involvement of their team in data gathering and requirements definition, gap analysis, knowledge sharing and readiness assessment. In addition, the Client has a responsibility to lead change management within Client organization, stakeholder communication (internal and external) and to provide the appropriate level of involvement from senior management to address transition issues that arise. The Service Provider will provide resources and methodology to assess the Client’s operations, define the gap and develop an appropriate migration strategy and plan.

 

 2.2The Transition Plan shall be primarily determined based on the in-scope Processes and people, and certain dependencies for transferring Client systems.

 

 2.3The Service Provider and Client will staff their transition teams with the appropriate level and quantity of dedicated project resources to support the delivery of the agreed to transition plan.

 

3Contracting/High Level Due Diligence

 

A contracting/high level due diligence phase has been completed prior to the Effective Date, pertaining to the in-scope Processes, people, and facilities. This included:

Change Control Management

 

1.Introduction

 

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

 

1.1The purposes and objectives of Change Control Management 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 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; and

 

 (f)to identify the different roles, responsibilities and actions that shall be assumed and taken by the Parties to define and implement the Changes to the Services and to the Agreement.

 

1.2Each 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 Management, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing by both Parties.

2.0Change Control Management

 

2.1Either Service Provider or Client may initiate a Change Request by delivering to the other’s Designated Executive or his/her nominated representative a writing that describes the Change and sets forth the reasons for it.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

 

(Consultant)

 

In connection with a consulting project as described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Project”) to be conducted by                              (“Consultant”) for [name] (“Client”), Consultant needs information and cooperation from Exult, Inc. (“Exult”) because the Project concerns matters related to services provided by Exult to Client.

 

The employees or partners of Consultant who will conduct the Project are referred to herein as the “Reviewers.” This Confidentiality Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into among Exult, Client and Consultant with respect to the Project and Evaluation Material (as defined below) to be provided to the Reviewers by Exult in connection therewith. For purposes hereof, an “Affiliate” of a party is a person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with that party, where control shall mean the direct or beneficial ownership of a voting interest of at least fifty percent (50%) (or in a foreign jurisdiction where majority ownership is prohibited by law, substantially the maximum ownership percentage permitted by law) or the right or power, directly or indirectly, to elect a majority of the board of directors, or the right or power to control management.

 

For purposes hereof, “Evaluation Material” means (i) all information (whether written or oral) related to Exult and its business, contracts, services, processes, financial condition, plans and strategies that is made available at any time (whether before or after the date hereof) by Exult to the Consultant or the Reviewers, and all extracts therefrom and analyses thereof and works derivative therefrom prepared by Consultant or the Reviewers (to the extent such derivative works embody such Evaluation Material), and (ii) all materials prepared by Consultant and delivered to Client to the extent that such materials reflect or incorporate such information, are derived therefrom, or related to Client’s receipt of services provided by Exult (“Deliverables”). Evaluation Material does not include information that Consultant can show (i) was in the public domain or publicly available before the date of this agreement or subsequently came into the public domain or publicly available other than as a result of breach by Consultant, the Reviewers or Client of any obligation to Exult; or (ii) was lawfully received by Consultant from a third party free of any obligation of confidence of or to such third party or was lawfully in the possession of Consultant before receipt from Exult; or (iii) is independently developed by Consultant without use of information or materials provided by Exult.

 

During the course of the Project, Exult will provide to Consultant information related to the Project and reasonably requested by Consultant regarding Exult’s services provided to Client, and will otherwise provide reasonable cooperation with Consultant in conducting the Project. However, Exult will not be required to provide (i) any information about Exult’s work for customers other than Client, (ii) personal data that is identifiable to natural persons, or by which natural persons can be identified, which is protected from disclosure by law or (iii) information regarding Exult’s internal service delivery structures and methodologies, or which is otherwise a trade secret under applicable law. Further, Exult’s obligation to provide information and cooperation will not require Exult to bear any significant out-of-pocket expenses or commit significant internal resources without agreement between Exult and Client. Client consents to Exult’s provision of such information and cooperation to Consultant.

 

It is acknowledged that Exult is providing Evaluation Material to Consultant and the Reviewers and Client under this Agreement to facilitate the performance by Consultant, acting through the Reviewers, of the Project. Under this Agreement Exult (i) makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy or completeness of any Evaluation Material provided hereunder, and (ii) undertakes no obligation with respect to the Project except as specifically set forth herein. In consideration of receipt of Evaluation Material, Consultant and the Reviewers agree that Exult will have no obligation to make any payments to Consultant or any Reviewer in connection with or as a result of the Project, and Consultant and the Reviewers will not bring or

 

Sch. M – Amendment #5

maintain any legal action against Exult arising from or in connection with the Project or Exult’s provision to Consultant and the Reviewers of Evaluation Materials. Without limiting the foregoing, Consultant and the Reviewers will not attempt to recover from Exult in any way in respect of any liabilities Consultant or the Reviewers may incur as a result of or in connection with performance by Consultant or the Reviewers of the Project or use of the Evaluation Material and Deliverables.

 

In consideration of access to the Evaluation Material, Consultant shall keep the Evaluation Material and Deliverables confidential using at least the same level of care which Consultant uses to protect its own similar confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable level of care. Consultant shall not use Evaluation Material for any purpose other than the Project. Consultant shall not provide copies of the Evaluation Material or the Deliverables to any persons other than the Reviewers, Client and representatives of Client who need access to the Evaluation Material and Deliverables to receive, review and implement the Project results. Consultant’s access to Exult’s systems, data, facilities and personnel shall be solely for purposes of the Project and Consultant shall comply with Exult’s reasonable security and access restrictions. For these purposes, use of Evaluation Material for purposes of the Project includes, without limitation, 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.

 

Consultant shall inform Exult in writing of the names of all Reviewers and cause the Reviewers to abide by this Agreement. Consultant hereby represents to Exult that all Reviewers are bound by written contract or legal duty to Consultant to abide by this Agreement as applicable to Consultant, and upon reasonable request by Exult, Consultant will cause all Reviewers to execute and deliver to Exult an undertaking to abide by this Agreement as applicable to Consultant. In addition, Consultant shall not permit any of Consultant’s employees, partners, contractors, advisors or other representatives, other than the Reviewers and their agents (e.g., assistants), to have access to any Evaluation Material or to participate in any way in the Project.

 

If Consultant is requested in any legal proceeding to disclose Evaluation Material and if legally permitted to do so, it will give Exult prompt notice of such request so that Exult may seek an appropriate protective order. If in the absence of a protective order Consultant is nonetheless compelled by law to disclose Evaluation Material, Consultant 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 legally permissible and, upon Exult’s request and at Exult’s expense, uses reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that such Evaluation Material will be treated as confidential.

 

Upon the request of Exult following completion of the Project or Consultant’s engagement to perform the Project, Consultant will promptly redeliver to Exult all copies of the Evaluation Material in its possession and will destroy all memoranda, notes and other writings based on the Evaluation Material prepared by Consultant and in Consultant’s possession.

 

Consultant will not make any public disclosure about the Project.

 

Consultant acknowledges that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this agreement by Consultant 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.

 

This agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, 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.

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, Client and Recipient with respect to the Audit and Evaluation Material (as defined below) 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, where control shall mean the direct or beneficial ownership of a voting interest of at least fifty percent (50%) (or in a foreign jurisdiction where majority ownership is prohibited by law, substantially the maximum ownership percentage permitted by law) or the right or power, directly or indirectly, to elect a majority of the board of directors, or the right or power to control management.

 

In consideration of access to the Evaluation Material, Recipient shall keep the Evaluation Material confidential using at least the same level of care which Recipient uses to protect its own similar confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable level of care. Recipient 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 who need access to the Evaluation Material to receive and review the Audit results. 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, without limitation, 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. Without limiting the foregoing, Recipient shall refrain from trading in securities of Exult while in possession of Evaluation Material that is or may be deemed to be material nonpublic information.

 

Recipient shall 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 this Agreement as applicable to Recipient, and upon reasonable request by Exult, 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 and their agents (e.g., assistants), to have access to any Evaluation Material or to participate in any way in the Audit.

 

If Recipient is requested in any proceeding to disclose Evaluation Material and if legally permitted to do so, it will give Exult prompt notice of such request so that Exult may seek an appropriate protective order. If in the absence of a protective order 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 legally permissible and, upon Exult’s request and at Exult’s expense, uses reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that such Evaluation Material will be treated as confidential.

 

Upon the request of Exult, Recipient will promptly redeliver to Exult all copies of the Evaluation Material and will destroy all memoranda, notes and other writings based on the Evaluation Material prepared by Recipient and in Recipient’s possession; provided, however, that Recipient may, subject to this Agreement, maintain Recipient’s professional work paper records of the Audit, which may include Evaluation Material, in its

files subject to its 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 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 Reviewers in connection with the Audit, and all extracts therefrom and analyses thereof and works derivative therefrom prepared by Recipient or the Reviewers (to the extent such derivative works embody such Evaluation Material), but does not include information that Recipient can show (i) was in the public domain or publicly available before the date of this agreement or subsequently came into the public domain or publicly available 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, under 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.

 

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 significant out-of-pocket expenses or commit significant internal resources without agreement between Exult and Client. 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 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.

 

Recipient acknowledges that money damages may 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.
