INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AGREEMENT
     This Information Technology Services Agreement (the Agreement) is entered into as of this 28th day of October, 2004 (the Effective Date), by and between Symetra Life Insurance Company, a Washington corporation with corporate offices at 5069 154th Place NE, Redmond, Washington 98052 (Symetra), and ACS Commercial Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation with corporate offices at 2828 N. Haskell, Dallas, Texas 75204 (“ACS”) (Symetra and ACS sometimes are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”).
RECITALS
     WHEREAS, on July 16, 2004, Symetra issued to ACS a Request for Proposal for Information Technology Outsourcing (the “RFP”),
     WHEREAS, ACS submitted to Symetra a response dated September 17, 2004 (as the same may have been supplemented and/or revised, the “ACS Bid”), and represented to Symetra that it had the expertise, personnel, products, services and skills required to meet the requirements of Symetra as reflected in the RFP;
     WHEREAS, in reliance on the representations made by ACS in the ACS Bid and subsequent discussions, Symetra selected ACS over other prospective technology providers to provide Symetra with outsourced IT services; and
     WHEREAS, Symetra and ACS want to specify the terms and conditions under which ACS will provide such outsourced IT services to Symetra.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, promises and covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree to the foregoing and as follows:
ARTICLE 1
GUIDING PRINCIPLES, RELATIONSHIP
MANAGEMENT AND INTERPRETATION
     1.1 Guiding Principles. The principles identified below (Guiding Principles) include principles that the Parties have determined to be important to ensure the success of their relationship. The Guiding Principles function as “constitutional” statements regarding the Parties’ overall intentions for this Agreement. If any term or condition of this Agreement is ambiguous or unclear, or if the Parties did not anticipate a particular issue, the Parties shall refer to and apply the Guiding Principles to resolve and/or address the ambiguous, unclear and/or unanticipated issue.
          1.1.1 Enhanced IT Capabilities and Effectiveness. Services will be provided in a manner that enhances Symetra’s ability to deliver high-quality, cost-effective services both internally within Symetra and externally to its customers with minimal interruptions in, and adverse impacts on, Symetra’s delivery of services to its customers. Technology utilized by ACS will provide Symetra with industry-leading levels of functionality and performance.

 


Table of Contents

          1.1.2 Reduce IT Costs. Cost reduction is a key objective for Symetra in securing Services from ACS. ACS will continuously implement new, cost-effective technologies in order to further reduce the overall cost of Services to Symetra.
          1.1.3 Improve and Maintain Technology. ACS will implement new technologies to deliver the Services to Symetra in order to maintain competitiveness in the quality and scope of Services available to Symetra and to take advantage of market cost efficiencies.
          1.1.4 Focus on Core Competencies. By outsourcing the Services to ACS and leveraging ACS’ core competencies, Symetra will be able to focus more of its internal resources on providing services to its market constituents and improve the levels of service in the outsourced areas.
          1.1.5 Improve Business Processes. Symetra will learn best practices from ACS which will allow Symetra to improve its business processes, including improving the efficiencies of delivering services to its own customers.
     1.2 Relationship Management. The relationship between the Parties shall be managed as described in this Section and in Schedule 1.
          1.2.1 IT Outsourcing Committee. A joint IT outsourcing committee, comprised of senior business and technology staff from Symetra and ACS (the IT Outsourcing Committee”), shall be responsible for providing input and advice concerning the overall business and technology relationship between the Parties including, without limitation, the effectiveness and value of the Services provided by ACS and guidance to improve such effectiveness and value. The IT Outsourcing Committee shall be chaired by a Symetra representative, and the ACS members shall include the ACS Project Executive and appropriate ACS executives and managers. The IT Outsourcing Committee shall meet quarterly at a Symetra facility, or more often at Symetra’s request, to discuss:
               (a) the status of each Service Tower and any Problems or difficulties experienced by a Party in transitioning to and/or delivering the Services;
               (b) ACS’ compliance with the SLRs;
               (c) all financial arrangements, including invoices submitted by ACS;
               (d) Symetra’s satisfaction with the ACS Key Personnel;
               (e) in accordance with Section 2.5.4, innovative and emerging ideas and strategies for more effective use of IT and related business transformation services and how such innovative ideas and strategies can more effectively impact the enterprise transformation of Symetra’s businesses;
               (f) ACS’ future financial and operational plans relating to the business unit that fulfills ACS’ obligations to provide Services under this Agreement, to the extent discloseable under applicable law; and
               (g) such other matters as one Party may bring to the other.

          For each such meeting, ACS shall prepare a suggested agenda, with active input from the Symetra Project Executive. ACS shall make available its senior management personnel to answer questions from Symetra’s senior management personnel regarding the agenda items for such meeting. Further, the IT Outsourcing Committee may invite industry thought leaders to participate in such meetings to facilitate information exchange and increase the value of the strategies discussed.
          1.2.2 Project Executives. Each Party shall designate an individual (for Symetra, the “Symetra Project Executive”, and for ACS, the “ACS Project Executive”), who shall be each Party’s primary point of contact for all matters relating to this Agreement throughout the Term. The ACS Project Executive shall be: (a) knowledgeable about the Services and each of ACS’ and its Subcontractors’ products and services; (b) experienced at running information technology systems and networks of a size and scope minimally equal in size and scope to those of Symetra; (c) otherwise acceptable to Symetra; and (d) assigned (in the case of each ACS Project Executive) to Symetra for a minimum period of twenty-four (24) months, except in cases involving: (i) a voluntary or For Cause termination; (ii) removal at Symetra’s request; or (iii) inability to work due to death, disability or illness. Without limiting any other rights and remedies that may then be available to Symetra, if ACS fails to comply with the terms of the foregoing subsection (d), ACS represents to Symetra that Symetra shall have the right to communicate dissatisfaction and impact to ACS senior operations personnel through the customer satisfaction survey process. Symetra shall have the right to pre-approve any candidate proposed by ACS to serve as the ACS Project Executive, and to require ACS to remove and replace any previously appointed ACS Project Executive, and ACS promptly shall comply with any such Symetra request. The ACS Project Executive shall have overall responsibility for directing all of ACS’ activities hereunder and shall be vested by ACS with all necessary authority to act for ACS in connection with all aspects of this Agreement. ACS and Subcontractor staff shall be managed in the performance of their duties by the ACS Project Executive. Upon ACS’ request, Symetra will provide a written evaluation of the ACS Project Executive’s performance that ACS may elect to consider when determining the ACS Project Executive’s salary and bonus compensation.
          1.2.3 Service Delivery Managers. Each Party shall designate an individual to serve as that Party’s service delivery manager for each Service Tower (for Symetra, each, a “Symetra Service Delivery Manager”, and for ACS, each, an “ACS Service Delivery Manager”). The primary role of the service delivery managers is to take ownership of the day-to-day operational relationships between Symetra’s information technology service delivery and Symetra’s business. This involves managing and coordinating the appropriate Symetra resources across all information technology services, including resources and services provided by ACS, to ensure optimal service delivery and ensure that all issues raised are resolved promptly and in accordance with the applicable SLR. The Symetra Service Delivery Manager (or his or her designee) for a particular Service Tower shall be the only Symetra representative authorized to request chargeable services from ACS with respect to that Service Tower, and ACS acknowledges that it shall not have the right to bill or collect from Symetra or any of its Affiliates any amounts ACS claims it is owed for otherwise chargeable services provided without the written authorization of the applicable Symetra Service Delivery Manager.
          1.2.4 Management Functions. At Symetra’s request from time-to-time in order to more efficiently administer certain functional aspects of the Parties’ relationship, each Party shall designate individual(s) to address various subject matters including, without limitation, performance and process management, architecture and technology management, finance/contract management, enterprise standards management, sourcing relationship management, quality assurance management, business unit management, and transition management, with such roles and responsibilities of these individuals as may be determined by the Parties at such time.

The Parties may develop additional Schedules relating to additional Services that will be provided by ACS to Symetra hereunder. Once approved in accordance with the terms herein, all such Schedules shall be deemed to be numbered sequentially and made a part of Schedule 2.
          2.2.2 SLRs for Service Towers.
               (a) Commitment to SLRs. From and after each applicable Handover Date (or upon the occurrence of such other date or event as may be expressly set forth in a particular Schedule 2 for a particular SLR), ACS shall perform the applicable Service Tower Services in accordance with, and in such a manner as to meet or exceed, the SLRs. ACS shall perform any Other Services in accordance with, and in such a manner as to meet or exceed, any SLRs that may be set forth in the applicable Out-of-Scope Work Order or otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing.
               (b) Measurement and Reporting. ACS shall measure its performance against the SLRs in accordance with the methodologies specified in the applicable Schedule 2 and shall provide a detailed, comprehensive report of its performance against the SLRs during the applicable reporting period (“SLR Reports”) by the fifth (5th) Business Day following

-6-


Table of Contents

the end of the applicable reporting period. Such reports shall be provided in accordance with Section 2.11.1 and in accordance with the SLR metrics set forth in the applicable Schedule 2. ACS shall meet with Symetra at least monthly, or more or less frequently if requested by Symetra, to review ACS’ actual performance against the SLRs and shall recommend remedial actions to resolve any performance deficiencies.
               (c) Root-Cause Analysis and Resolution. Promptly, but in no event later than five (5) calendar days after ACS’ discovery of, or if earlier, ACS’ receipt of a notice from Symetra regarding, ACS’ failure to provide any of the Services in accordance with the SLRs, ACS shall, as applicable under the circumstances: (i) perform a Root-Cause Analysis to identify the cause of such failure; (ii) provide Symetra with a written report detailing the cause of, and procedure for correcting, such failure; and (iii) provide Symetra with satisfactory evidence that such failure will not recur. ACS’ correction of any such failures shall be performed in accordance with the time frames set forth in the applicable Schedule 2 entirely at ACS’ expense unless it has been determined, by mutual agreement of the Parties or through the Problem-resolution process specified in this Agreement, that: (iv) Symetra (or one of its subcontractors, agents or Third Parties provided by Symetra and not managed by ACS) and/or its self-managed properties and/or systems was the predominant contributing cause of the failure and ACS could not have worked around the failure without expending a material amount of additional time or cost; or (v) Third Party software or firmware directly resulted in such failure; provided that such Third Party software or firmware: (A) was expressly approved by Symetra; (B) was implemented by ACS following its standard, rigorous, documented interoperability testing, quality assurance, user acceptance and change management processes; (C) was unknown, undocumented and unreported prior to ACS’ implementation of such Third Party software or firmware; and (D) ACS could not have worked around the failure without expending a material amount of additional time or cost. In such event: (vi) ACS shall be entitled to temporary relief from its obligation to timely comply with the affected SLR, but only to the extent and for the duration so affected; and (vii) in the case of an event described in subsection (iv), Symetra shall reimburse ACS for ACS’ expenses to correct such failure, but only to the extent Symetra caused such failure, unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree. For purposes hereof, any preexisting condition of those of Symetra’s properties and systems that are used and managed by ACS to deliver the Services shall not be deemed a contributing cause of any failure if such condition was or reasonably should have been identified in ACS’ reasonable, pre-implementation diligence processes, or as a result of ACS’ post-implementation, industry-standard quality assurance processes; provided, however, that this exception specifically shall not apply to any hidden defect that was not identified following such diligence and quality assurance processes.
               (d) Annual Review of SLRs. Symetra expects that SLRs will improve over time and that new SLRs may be added to reflect Symetra’s changing and/or new business requirements. Accordingly, at least once annually, Symetra expects to review and reach agreement with ACS on, among other things: (a) adjustments to the SLRs to reflect such anticipated continuous improvements in the SLRs; and/or (b) the addition of new SLRs. Unless requested by Symetra, in no event will the SLRs be made less favorable to Symetra as a result of such reviews.
               (e) Classifying an SLR as an SLA. Subject to limitations set forth in Schedule 5, upon sixty (60) calendar days’ prior written notice to ACS, Symetra shall have

-7-


Table of Contents

the right to classify any SLR as an SLA and to re-allocate the SLA Weighting Factors so that a Weighting Factor is applicable to such newly classified SLA.
               (f) Benchmarking. As part of the Services, ACS shall conduct benchmarking with Symetra in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures described in Attachment A.
          2.2.3 Symetra Sites. Attached hereto as Attachment B is a list of Symetra facilities (collectively, the “Symetra Sites”) with respect to which ACS shall provide the Services.
          2.2.4 Governance Regarding Relief Events. The Parties acknowledge and agree that from time to time during the Term, events and circumstances caused by the actions or inactions of Symetra may arise that have (or are reasonably anticipated to have) a material adverse impact on ACS’ ability to achieve the SLRs, or otherwise provide the Services in the manner required by this Agreement, without expending a material amount of additional time or cost (such events and circum stances, “Relief Events”). By way of example and without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that a Relief Event may arise as a result of ACS’ compliance with Symetra’s instructions in connection with an Extraordinary Event under Section 2.10 and/or as a result of Symetra’s exercise of its retained authorities under Article 5. With respect to such Relief Events, the following terms and principles shall apply:
               (a) If a Relief Event causing ACS to be unable to provide any of the Services in accordance with the SLRs has occurred, the terms of Section 2.2.2(c) shall apply.
               (b) Without limiting ACS’ obligations under Section 2.2.2(c), if a Relief Event has occurred, ACS shall nevertheless use commercially reasonably efforts to perform the Services and achieve the SLRs throughout the duration of such Relief Event using existing levels of resources dedicated to Symetra’s account, and the Parties shall work together in good faith to address the impact of such Relief Event on the Services and the SLRs in a timely manner.
               (c) To the extent that either Party anticipates or determines that a Relief Event is likely to occur, such Party shall notify the other Party of such determination, and the Parties shall work together in good faith in advance of the anticipated Relief Event to establish a plan for providing the Services during such Relief Event, taking into account the relevant specifics and details of the Relief Event. Where Symetra’s actions or inactions are the predominant cause of the anticipated Relief Event, such plan may include the temporary suspension of SLRs associated with the affected Services, and/or additional fees or charges associated with Other Services provided by ACS that are designated to address the impact of the Relief Event or achieve the SLRs during the Relief Event.
               (d) If an unanticipated Relief Event occurs, and Symetra’s actions or inactions are the predominant cause of such Relief Event, or such Relief Event is the result of a Force Majeure Event, without limiting ACS’ obligations under Section 2.2.2(c) and this Section, ACS shall be relieved from its obligations to meet or exceed the SLRs affected by the Relief Event (and its responsibility with respect to any related Fee Reductions) during the duration of such Relief Event.

               (a) If ACS is unable to provide any of the Service Tower Services as of the applicable Handover Date, “assume financial responsibility” means that:
                    (i) ACS shall reimburse Symetra for all costs and expenses incurred by Symetra to provide such Service Tower Services (including by way of example and not of limitation, salaries and other payments to in-scope Symetra employees, fees under in-scope third party contracts, etc.) or, in Symetra’s sole discretion, Symetra may set off any such costs and expenses against the Fees, if any, due under the Agreement; and
                    (ii) ACS shall be entitled to invoice Symetra for such Service Tower Services as if ACS itself were providing such Service Tower Services.
               (b) ACS shall not be required to assume financial responsibility for a particular Service Tower Service as described in the foregoing subsection (a) to the extent ACS’ performance is excused due to a Force Majeure Event or to the extent the delay was requested by Symetra. Further, if ACS is unable to provide a particular Service Tower Service as of the applicable Handover Date, the SLRs shall not apply until ACS actually begins providing such Service Tower Service.

In addition, ACS shall provide Symetra with reports detailing software usage by Symetra and other activities by Symetra relating to Symetra’s compliance with software licenses that can be monitored by ACS in delivering the Services, provided that such responsibilities shall be detailed in each applicable Schedule 2. The Parties agree that ACS shall have no legal or financial responsibility for Symetra’s non-compliance with such software licenses except to the extent resulting from: (d) events subject to indemnification under Section 15.1.8; and (e) potential breach of contract liability under this Agreement based on ACS’ failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.
          2.5.6 Shared Resources. Except as provided in Attachment G, ACS shall not use a shared hardware or software environment, or any shared network or platform (collectively, “Shared Resources”) to provide the Services. If, following the Effective Date, ACS wants to migrate or relocate any Services to Shared Resources, ACS shall provide to Symetra for its review, comments and approval, which approval may be withheld in Symetra’s sole discretion, a proposal for such migration or relocation, including a listing of all shared use assets that will be used to provide the Services and a breakdown of the cost and price benefits and savings or risks to Symetra.

     2.7 Service Compatibility. ACS shall ensure that all services, equipment, networks, software, enhancements, upgrades, modifications and other resources, including those provided by Symetra (collectively, the “Resources”), that are: (a) used by ACS to deliver the Services; or (b) approved by ACS for utilization by Symetra in connection with the Services, shall be successfully integrated and interfaced, and shall be compatible with the services, equipment, networks, software, enhancements, upgrades, modifications and other resources that are being provided to Symetra by Third Party service providers (collectively, the “Third-Party Resources”); provided, however, that any such responsibilities of ACS for Resources shall be detailed in the applicable Schedules 2. Further, ACS shall ensure that none of the Services or other items provided to Symetra by ACS shall be adversely affected by, or shall adversely affect, those of any such Third Party providers, whether as to functionality, speed, service levels, interconnectivity, reliability, availability, performance, response times or similar measures. To the extent that any interfaces need to be developed or modified in order for the Resources to integrate successfully, and be compatible with, the Third-Party Resources, ACS shall develop or modify such interfaces as part of the Services, pursuant to the process set forth in Section 2.8. If a question arises as to whether a particular defect, malfunction or other

-13-


Table of Contents

difficulty with respect to the Services was caused by Resources or by Third-Party Resources, ACS shall be responsible for correcting, at its cost, such defect, malfunction or difficulty, except to the extent that ACS can demonstrate, to Symetra’s satisfaction, by means of a Root-Cause Analysis, that the cause was not caused by Resources. In addition, ACS shall cooperate with all Third Party service providers of Symetra to coordinate its provision of the Services with the services and systems of such Third Party service providers. Subject to reasonable confidentiality requirements, such cooperation shall include providing: (a) applicable written information concerning any or all of the systems, data, computing environment, and technology direction used in providing the Services; (b) reasonable assistance and support services to such Third Party providers; (c) access to systems and architecture configurations of Provider to the extent reasonably required for the activities of such Third Party providers; and (d) access to and use of the Resources.
     2.8 In-Scope Service Requests. If Symetra requires the performance of work that is not being performed at a particular time but that is within the scope of the Services, Symetra shall deliver to the ACS Project Executive an “In-Scope Service Request” in the form set forth in Attachment D specifying the proposed work with sufficient detail to enable ACS to evaluate the request. If such In-Scope Service Request is a request for access to ACS personnel versus a request for a particular set of Services that are in the nature of a longer-term project, Symetra shall prioritize (and re-prioritize as deemed necessary by Symetra), and ACS shall respond to, such In-Scope Service Request as follows:
         
Symetra-   Response
Designated   Symetra Corporate Headquarters &    
Priority   ACS NWSC - Hillsboro   Symetra Remote Office Locations
Urgent
  Immediate   ASAP, not to exceed 8 hours
 
       
Standard
  2 Hours   2 Business Days
 
       
Low
  8 Hours   5 Business Days
With respect to In-Scope Service Requests that are in the nature of a longer-term project, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to proceed otherwise, within five (5) Business Days following the date of ACS’ receipt of such In-Scope Service Request, ACS shall provide Symetra with a written proposal in response to the In-Scope Service Request that contains the following: (a) a detailed description of the Services to be performed; (b) specifications (if applicable); and/or (c) an implementation plan, with implementation to commence not later than thirty (30) calendar days after approval thereof, unless otherwise mutually agreed. All services requested in an In-Scope Service Request shall constitute Services for purposes of this Agreement. Following receipt of ACS’ proposal, Symetra shall notify ACS in writing whether to proceed with the In-Scope Service Request, and ACS shall take no further action with respect to the In-Scope Service Request until it receives approval from Symetra. In-Scope Service Requests must be executed by the Symetra Project Executive, or his or her designee, in order to be effective.
     2.9 Out-of-Scope Work Orders.
          2.9.1 Requirements and Process. From time-to-time, Symetra may solicit a response from prospective providers to perform services that are outside the scope of the Services (“Out-of-Scope Service(s)”). At its own cost and expense, ACS shall submit a response (“Out-of-

-14-


Table of Contents

Scope Work Order”) to any such Out-of-Scope Services request that complies with the terms of this Section within ten (10) Business Days after ACS’ receipt of Symetra’s request, or, if the scope of the Out-of-Scope Services is such that ten (10) Business Days would be insufficient, within a mutually agreed period of time. ACS’ proposed fees for performing each Out-of-Scope Work Order shall be at a fixed price (to the extent the Out-of-Scope Service consists of design, build or other development services) or at a fixed rate per unit of performance or other benefit to be received by Symetra (to the extent the Out-of-Scope Service consists of operational or other ongoing services), in either case based upon the lower of the Service Rates or the best rates, terms and conditions ACS is offering or has offered to other customers for services of a similar nature and scope. Each such response shall be in writing and shall contain the following items and be in conformance with the process set forth herein: (a) ACS’ response to Symetra’s description and specifications for the Out-of-Scope Services, including all services to be performed, categories of personnel (and number of personnel within each category) required to complete the Out-of-Scope Services, and an implementation plan; (b) the amount, schedule, and method of payment; (c) the timeframe for performance; (d) completion and acceptance criteria; and (e) any proposed SLRs for new services that would result from the Out-of-Scope Services. If Symetra selects ACS as its provider with respect to the Out-of-Scope Work Order, the obligations of ACS with respect to the Out-of- Scope Services shall be deemed Other Services under this Agreement, and the Out-of-Scope Services and the Out-of-Scope Work Order shall be governed by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
          2.9.2 Potential Limitation on Future Contracts. If ACS, under the terms of this Agreement or through the performance of tasks hereunder, develops specifications or statements of work, and such specifications or statements of work are to be incorporated into a solicitation, at Symetra’s option, ACS may be ineligible under Symetra’s standard procurement rules or, if such rules do not exist, industry standard procurement rules, to bid on and perform the work described within that solicitation as a prime contractor or subcontractor under a future Symetra contract. Except for the foregoing, ACS shall have the ability to compete for future business with Symetra on an equal basis with other Persons.
     2.10 Extraordinary Events or Circumstances. Symetra may, at any time, in a written notice signed by the Symetra Project Executive, or his or her designee, and as a result of an Extraordinary Event: (a) direct ACS, in accordance with Section 2.8, to perform Services in an extraordinary manner (e.g., perform Services at service levels above or below the SLRs for a limited duration); or (b) direct ACS to prepare and submit a proposed Out-of-Scope Work Order more quickly than required under Section 2.9.1; (c) direct ACS to temporarily cease the performance of certain Services; or (d) obtain a Third Party to perform certain Services for the duration of the Extraordinary Event. If such Extraordinary Event results in ACS’ performance of Other Services, to the extent incremental pricing for such Other Services is not set forth in this Agreement (including, in particular, in Schedule 4), the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations in order to arrive at appropriate fees and expenses to be paid to ACS in consideration of its performance of such Other Services. If such Extraordinary Event results in ACS’ performance of additional or fewer Services, as the case may be: (e) provided: (i) the upper Pricing Band limit or the lower Pricing Band limit, as applicable, for such Services as specified in Schedule 3 has not been surpassed for more than ninety (90) calendar days, the applicable pricing set forth in Schedule 3 shall apply; or (f) once the upper Pricing Band limit or the lower Pricing Band limit, as applicable, for such Services as specified in Schedule 3 has been surpassed for more than ninety (90) calendar days, the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations in order to arrive at new pricing for the affected Service Tower Services. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Section 2.10 shall be in addition to those under Sections 2.5.7, 9.2.3 and similar provisions of this Agreement addressing Force Majeure Events.

Schedule 5; and/or (b) declare an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the remedies described in Sections 2.12.2(a) and (b) shall not be available to Symetra if and to the extent ACS’ failure to achieve any Critical Milestone by the corresponding date for achieving such Critical Milestone is due to: (c) the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event; (d) a delay by Symetra solely for its own convenience; or (e) Symetra’s material failure to perform any of its responsibilities under this Agreement that were a pre-condition to ACS’ ability to perform its obligations, provided that such failure previously was identified by ACS in writing.

This Schedule may be modified from time-to-time in accordance with this Agreement and shall be deemed modified upon any Symetra-approved replacement or substitution of a new person for any ACS Key Personnel. Prior to the assignment, hiring or designation of any person to fill the position or perform the duties provided by any ACS Key Personnel, Symetra shall have the right to interview and participate in the selection of such person to fill the position or perform the duties provided by the ACS Key Personnel to be replaced. ACS shall not hire, assign or designate any new person to fill the position or perform the duties provided by any ACS Key Personnel without Symetra’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Symetra’s sole discretion. In addition, Symetra shall not be obligated to pay any Fees (or portion thereof) that are attributable to ACS Key Personnel until it determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such ACS Key Personnel have sufficient training, education and knowledge about Symetra’s then-current status and project needs. ACS shall ensure that all ACS Key Personnel have at least one designated individual as his or her core knowledge backup, ACS acknowledging that cross-sharing of knowledge is critical to minimizing the potential impact to Symetra if any of the ACS Key Personnel become unavailable for any reason. ACS Key Personnel shall treat Symetra as their most favored customer

All ACS Key Personnel shall be assigned to perform the Services on such basis (e.g., full time assignment or otherwise) as needed to ensure that the Services contemplated hereunder are provided in an efficient and timely manner. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 1.2.2(d), without Symetra’s prior written consent, ACS shall not: (i) undertake any action with respect to any ACS Key Personnel that would result in the alteration or reduction of time expended by such ACS Key Personnel in performance of ACS’ duties hereunder; or (ii) transfer, reassign or otherwise re-deploy any ACS Key Personnel from performance of ACS’ duties under this Agreement, except in cases involving: (i) a voluntary or For Cause termination; (ii) removal at Symetra’s request; or (iii) inability to work due to death, disability or illness.

For purposes of this Section, the movement of ACS Key Personnel from the employ of ACS to an Affiliate or a Subcontractor of ACS shall be considered a reassignment requiring Symetra’s consent and not a cessation of employment. If ACS removes or temporarily reassigns the ACS Key Personnel in accordance with the terms of this Section, Symetra may withhold any and all payments due or that become due to ACS until the ACS Key Personnel vacancy is filled by a qualified replacement, as approved by Symetra.
               (c) Removal of ACS Personnel by Symetra. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Symetra believes that the performance or conduct of any Person employed or retained by ACS to perform ACS’ obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, ACS Key Personnel) is unsatisfactory for any reason or is not in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, Symetra shall so notify ACS in writing and ACS shall promptly address the performance or conduct of such person, or, at Symetra’s request, immediately replace such Person with another Person acceptable to Symetra and with sufficient knowledge and expertise to perform the Services in accordance with this Agreement. Symetra shall not be responsible for any relocation expenses associated with ACS’ compliance with this Section or any other term or condition of this Agreement.
               (d) Transition. If: (i) ACS is obligated to replace an individual as provided in subsection (c) above; or (ii) ACS wants to replace or reassign any of the ACS Key Personnel, and either Symetra consents to such replacement or reassignment, or Symetra’s consent to such replacement or reassignment is not required as provided in subsection (b) above, then: (1) the terms of subsection (a) above with respect to Symetra’s right to select replacement personnel for any ACS Key Personnel shall apply; (2) the proposed replacement personnel shall be “qualified,” meaning that the proposed replacement personnel shall possess comparable experience and training as the ACS personnel to be replaced; and (3) the replacement personnel shall work with the replaced personnel during a mutually agreed transition period, the duration of which shall be determined based on the duties and responsibilities of the person to be replaced, and all costs and expenses associated with educating and training the replacement personnel shall be borne by ACS. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the transition period for the ACS Project Executive shall be at least one (1) month in length.

ACS Key Personnel, and all other personnel assigned by ACS or its Subcontractors to perform ACS’ obligations under this Agreement, shall have experience, training and expertise sufficient to perform ACS’ obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, ACS’ obligations with respect to the SLRs. Whenever ACS and/or an ACS Subcontractor indicates that a Person has a specific level of experience or expertise, such Person shall in fact possess such experience and expertise. Symetra shall not be required to pay for Services provided by any Person who does not possess the promised levels of experience and expertise.
          3.1.4 Specialized Personnel. As part of its provision of Services, ACS shall ensure that all ACS personnel (and the personnel of any ACS Subcontractors) performing Services in work areas requiring specific health, regulatory (including, without limitation, HIPAA, the California Statute, GLB and other regulations identified by Symetra), security or safety-related expertise are trained, qualified, and available to perform the Services in such areas as such training is commercially appropriate for the Services performed by such personnel. As reasonably requested by ACS, Symetra shall make available to ACS personnel (and to the personnel of any ACS Subcontractor(s)) any regulatory training that Symetra makes available to its own personnel in such work areas, with all costs and expenses associated with such training (if any) to be borne by ACS.
          3.1.5 Training. At its own cost and expense, ACS shall provide, and cause its Subcontractors to provide, all such training to the employees of ACS and its Subcontractors as may be necessary for them to perform all of ACS’ duties under this Agreement (including technical training as well as training regarding applicable administrative matters such as training regarding Symetra-specific policies and SOPs), and, in any event, levels of training equal to or greater than the average levels of training given to other ACS and/or Subcontractor employees holding corresponding positions.
          3.1.6 Supervision and Conduct of ACS Personnel. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither ACS, its Subcontractors, nor the employees of any of them, are or shall be deemed to be employees of Symetra.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party (the “Recruiting Party”) will not have violated the terms set forth in the preceding sentence if an employee of the other Party: (a) responds to a general, non-targeted solicitation for employment issued by the Recruiting Party, such as a newspaper advertisement; or (b) is contacted by a recruiter for the Recruiting Party, where the recruiter has not been instructed by the Recruiting Party to target the employees of the other Party.

ACS shall also procure the advance consent of each Third Party software vendor of Category 2 Software to an assignment to Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider, of the license agreement between such Third Party software vendor and ACS during the Disentanglement Period. If such consent cannot be obtained from any Third Party software vendor, ACS shall so notify Symetra in writing, and Symetra may: (iii) waive this requirement in writing; or (iv) elect to license the applicable Category 2 Software directly from the applicable Third Party software vendor. If Symetra licenses such Category 2 Software directly from the Third Party software vendor, the software shall be deemed Category 3 Software for purposes of this Agreement.

All costs and expenses associated with the Category 2 Software including, without limitation, license, maintenance and support, implementation and/or upgrade fees (but excluding any assignment-related consent fees as described above), shall be deemed to be included in the Fees. All right, title and interest in and to the Category 2 Software (excluding Derivative Works that contain Work Product) shall remain with the applicable Third Party.

               (b) Acceptance Testing. Following ACS’ notification to Symetra that ACS has completed any component or deliverable identified in this Agreement, including In- Scope Service Requests and Out-of-Scope Work Orders, at a mutually agreed scheduled time thereafter, Symetra shall begin testing the component or deliverable to determine whether such component or deliverable conforms to the applicable specifications and/or standards (collectively, the “Acceptance Criteria”). After Symetra has completed such testing or upon expiration of the agreed-upon testing period (the “Acceptance Testing Period”), Symetra shall notify ACS in writing either that: (i) the component or deliverable meets the Acceptance Criteria and that acceptance of such component or deliverable has occurred (“Acceptance”); or (ii) the Acceptance Criteria have not been met and, in accordance with subsection (c) below, the reasons therefor. If the component or deliverable is identified as being part of a larger, integrated system being developed thereunder, then any Acceptance under the terms of this subsection shall be understood as being conditional acceptance (“Conditional Acceptance”), and such component or deliverable shall be subject to Final Acceptance in accordance with subsection (d) below.
               (c) Cure. If Symetra determines that a component or deliverable does not conform to the applicable Acceptance Criteria, Symetra promptly shall deliver to ACS an exception report describing the nonconformity (the “Exception Report”).

agree upon in writing, at the end of which period the process described in subsection (b) above shall be repeated.
               (d) Final Acceptance. Upon achievement of Conditional Acceptance for all identified components or deliverables, Symetra shall begin testing the system that is comprised of such components or deliverables using the applicable test procedures and standards to determine whether such system performs as an integrated whole in accordance with the Acceptance Criteria. After Symetra has completed such testing or upon expiration of the testing period (the Final Acceptance Testing Period”), Symetra shall notify ACS in writing that: (i) the system, and all components and deliverables that are a part thereof, meet the Acceptance Criteria and that final acceptance of the system and such components and deliverables has occurred (“Final Acceptance”); or (ii) that the Acceptance Criteria have not been met and, in accordance with subsection (b) above, the reasons therefor. If Symetra determines that the Acceptance Criteria have not been so met, the process described in subsection (b) above shall be initiated, with all references to “component or deliverable” being references to the “system,” and all references to the “Acceptance Testing Period” being references to the “Final Acceptance Testing Period.” Neither Conditional Acceptance, Acceptance, nor Final Acceptance by Symetra shall constitute a waiver by Symetra of any right to assert claims based upon defects not discernable through conduct of the applicable test procedures and subsequently discovered in a component or deliverable or the system following Symetra’s Final Acceptance thereof.

-29-


Table of Contents

a time-and-materials basis, will be provided at rates that do not exceed the hourly service rates set forth in Schedule 4 (“Service Rates”). The Service Rates may be increased by ACS once annually commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that such annual increases shall not exceed the lesser of: (a) the most recent increase in the CPI; and (b) three percent (3%), in each case of the then-current Service Rates. ACS shall not increase the billing rate for a particular individual who is assigned to a Symetra project as a result of a promotion, change in job classification or otherwise without Symetra’s prior written consent, it being the understanding of the Parties that Symetra does not expect any rate changes during the course of a particular project. Additionally, ACS shall bill Symetra in increments of not more than one (l)-hour for all Other Services provided, and shall in no event bill Symetra for travel time.
          6.1.5 Taxes.
               (a) ACS’ Taxes. The Fees to be paid by Symetra are inclusive of taxes legally imposed on ACS, including: (i) all applicable sales, use, gross-receipts or value- added, excise, personal property or other similar taxes based upon or measured by ACS’ cost in acquiring or providing equipment, materials, supplies or third party services furnished to or used by ACS in providing and performing the Services; (ii) all taxes payable by ACS with respect to its net worth, net income or profits; and (iii) other taxes legally imposed on ACS such as franchise taxes, ad valorem taxes on its owned or leased property, employment taxes with respect to its employees, intangibles taxes on property it owns or licenses, and the Washington business and occupation tax.
               (b) Symetra’s Taxes. Notwithstanding Section 6.1.5(a), if any sales, use, privilege, value added, excise, gross receipts, services and/or similar tax that ACS is authorized by law to collect from or otherwise pass through to Symetra is imposed on, based on, or measured by any consideration for the provision of the Services by ACS to Symetra under this Agreement, Symetra shall be responsible for and pay the amount of any such tax to ACS, or to the appropriate tax authority as the law may otherwise require, in addition to the Fees.
               (c) Cooperation to Minimize Tax Liability. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in good faith to more accurately determine and reflect each Party’s tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible. Each Party shall provide and make available to the other any resale certificates, multi-state benefit certificates, exemption certificates or other evidence of exemption from tax reasonably requested by either Party. The Parties will also work together to segregate the Fees and other amounts payable hereunder into separate payment accounts charged under separate invoices, as appropriate, for Services and the components of the Services (i.e., components that are taxable and nontaxable, including those for which a sales, use or similar tax has already been paid by ACS and for which ACS functions merely as a paying agent for Symetra in receiving goods, supplies or services including licensing arrangements that otherwise are nontaxable or have previously been subjected to tax, components that are capitalized, and components that are expensed).
          6.1.6 Currency. Except as set forth herein, all pricing in Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 shall be expressed in United States Dollars. Any payments made in local currency other than United States Dollars (a “Local Currency”) shall be converted into United States Dollars based on the official exchange rate posted in the U.S. morning edition of the Wall Street Journal on the thirtieth (30th) day of the month preceding the month in which the currency transaction occurs. By way of

-30-


Table of Contents

example, if a transaction involving a conversion of Local Currency into United States Dollars takes place on February 15, 2005, the Local Currency shall be converted into United States Dollars at the exchange rate set forth in the US morning edition of the Wall Street Journal on January 30,2005.
     6.2 Adjustments to Fees.
          6.2.1 Terminated Services. If, in accordance with the terms set forth in Sections 9.2 and/or 9.5, Symetra terminates or reduces all or any portion of the Services to be provided here-under, then the Fees relating to such terminated Services shall be appropriately reduced, and such reduction shall apply as of the applicable Termination Date(s).
               (b) 6.2.2
               (a) General. Schedule 5, as the same will be updated as provided in subsections (b) and (c) below, specifies certain Fee Reductions that will be applicable with respect to ACS’ actual performance as measured against the Critical Milestones and the SLAs. The Parties agree that the Fee Reductions reflect the diminished value of the Services as a result of any ACS failure to timely achieve a Critical Milestone and/or to provide the Services in accordance with the SLAs, and accordingly do not constitute, shall not be construed or interpreted as, and shall not be argued by ACS to be, penalties. Fee Reductions shall in no event be the sole and exclusive remedy of Symetra with respect to any failure of ACS as described in this Section.
               (b) Weighting Factors. Symetra shall have the right to: [***] and (iii) for any new Critical Milestones that will be applicable during the upcoming Contract Year, establish Weighting Factors for each such Critical Milestone.
               (c) Calculation of Fee Reductions. All Fee Reductions will be calculated on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 5 and reflected on the next monthly invoice to Symetra following such calculation. Additionally, in the first month of each Contract Year commencing with the second Contract Year, the Parties shall calculate the total of all actual fees for the prior Contract Year and re-calculate all Fee Reductions incurred during the prior Contract Year based on such amount. The resulting amount shall be compared to the actual Fee Reductions that were applied to Symetra’s invoices during the prior Contract Year, and if such resulting amount demonstrates that additional Fee Reductions are owed to Symetra, then a credit for the difference in such amounts shall be applied by ACS to the first month’s invoice in the then-current Contract Year, and if the resulting amount demonstrates that ACS overpaid Fee Reductions, then ACS shall invoice Symetra for the difference on the first month’s invoice in the then-current Contract Year.
          6.2.3 Baselines and ARCs and RRCs. The initial Baselines for each of the Service Tower Services are set forth in Schedule 3. Promptly following ACS’ completion of an initial asset inventory as provided in Section 2.5.5, the Parties shall meet to review the accuracy of the initial Baselines set forth in Schedule 3 and, if appropriate, agree upon any necessary adjustments to such Baselines and associated pricing. Thereafter, on an annual basis commencing on the first anniversary of the last Handover Date to occur under this Agreement, the Parties shall adjust all such Baselines to be equal to Symetra’s actual average resource consumption for each such Baseline over the prior twelve (12) month period, with an appropriate corresponding adjustment to the then-current Annual Services Fees. Further, upon the addition or divestiture of a Symetra Affiliate as described in Section 6.2.4, the Parties shall appropriately adjust all Baselines, and the then-current Annual Services Fees, to reflect the new Symetra Services volumes associated with such addition or divestiture. ARCs and RRCs that are applicable to each of the Service Tower Services, and the methodology for applying such ARCs and RRCs, are set forth in Schedule 3.
          6.2.4 Addition or Divestiture of Affiliates and Business Ventures. ACS acknowledges that, following the Effective Date, Symetra may want to add additional Affiliates and/or business ventures of Symetra and/or its Affiliates (including adding new lines of business, adding new services and products, and acquiring additional blocks of business from Third Parties that complement Symetra’s current businesses and services) to the scope of this Agreement and/or reduce the number of Affiliates or existing business ventures included within the scope of this Agreement, in each case as a result of Symetra’s and/or its Affiliates’ acquisition and divestiture activities. If Symetra wants to add an additional Affiliate or an additional business venture of Symetra and/or its Affiliates to the scope of this Agreement, provided such additional Affiliate or business venture is not an ACS Competitor, the Parties shall work together cooperatively and in good faith to incorporate such Affiliate or business venture within the scope of this Agreement including, without limitation, by developing an appropriate transition plan; however:
               (a) if ACS will be providing Services to such new Affiliate and/or business venture that are included within the scope of the Service Tower Services that are then being provided to Symetra and/or its Affiliates hereunder and: (i) the addition of such Affiliate and/or business venture will not result in ACS’ provision of a volume of any such Services that surpasses the upper Pricing Band limit for such Services as specified in Schedule 3, the pricing for Service Tower Services set forth in Schedule 3 shall apply; or (ii) the addition of such Affiliate and/or business venture will result in the provision of a volume of any such Services that surpasses the upper Pricing Band limit for such Services as specified

-31-


Table of Contents

in Schedule 3, the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations in order to arrive at new pricing for the affected Service Tower Services;
               (b) if ACS will be providing Services to such new Affiliate and/or business venture that are not included within the scope of the Service Tower Services that are then being provided to Symetra and/or its Affiliates hereunder, the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations in order to arrive at pricing for such new Service Tower Services; and
               (c) Symetra shall be responsible for mutually agreed, reasonable set-up costs and expenses required to accommodate such addition including, without limitation, resource expenses, software license and consent fees and other similar expenses incurred by ACS in effecting such request.
Symetra (and not its Affiliates) shall be responsible for paying all Fees to be paid to ACS hereunder. Any SLRs that will be applicable to such new Affiliate and/or business venture shall become effective not later than ninety (90) calendar days following conclusion of the applicable transition period. If Symetra divests an Affiliate or exits an existing business venture and wants to reduce the number of Affiliates or scope of Services included within the scope of this Agreement, then: (d) Symetra shall so notify ACS and, at Symetra’s option, all or any portion of the terms of Article 10 shall apply with respect to such divested Affiliate or business venture; and (e) neither Symetra nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to pay a Termination Fee to ACS as a result of any such scope reduction; however, if and to the extent the divestiture of such Affiliate and/or business venture will result in ACS providing a volume of any Service Tower Services that surpasses the lower Pricing Band limit for such Services as specified in Schedule 3, the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations in order to arrive at new pricing for the affected Service Tower Services.
          6.2.5 Set Off. Symetra may set off against any and all amounts otherwise payable to ACS pursuant to any of the provisions hereof any and all amounts owed by ACS to it including, without limitation, any Fee Reductions. Within twenty (20) calendar days following any such set off, Symetra shall provide to ACS a written accounting of such set off and a written statement of the reasons therefor.
     6.3 Invoices.
          6.3.1 Services. As of the Effective Date, ACS shall be required to submit monthly invoices to Symetra for the Services provided hereunder. Invoices shall be in the format as set forth in Attachment J, and any changes in the monthly invoice formats shall be approved by Symetra in advance of such changes. All invoices will be subject to Symetra’s review and approval prior to payment. ACS shall not submit invoices: (a) for Fixed Charges, prior to the first day of the month in which the invoiced Services will be provided; and (b) for Variable Charges, prior to the last day of the month in which the invoiced Services were provided. Invoices must provide detailed and customized information as requested by Symetra. Such detailed and customized information may include, without limitation, general fee visibility and billing requirements that are consistent with Symetra’s specific financial requirements and practices.

All of ACS’ obligations under this Agreement shall continue unabated during the dispute resolution process.
ARTICLE 7
RECORDKEEPING AND AUDIT RIGHTS
     7.1 Recordkeeping. ACS shall maintain complete and accurate financial and accounting records and books of account relating to its performance of Services under this Agreement, including electronic copies of all such records and books, utilizing generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied. Further, ACS shall maintain transaction-level documentation, such as supporting invoices, purchase orders, bills of lading, tax returns, exemption certificates and other relevant documents, in each case to the extent relating to its performance of Services under this Agreement. Such records, books and documentation relating to ACS’ performance of the Services under this Agreement, and the accounting controls related thereto, shall constitute ACS Confidential Information and shall be sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that:
               (a) transactions are recorded so as to permit ACS to prepare its financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to maintain accountability for its assets; and
               (b) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
Such records, books and documentation relating to ACS’ performance of Services under this Agreement shall be maintained by ACS at a location(s) made known to Symetra upon Symetra’s request, and Symetra (or its designees) shall have the right to examine and make extracts of information and copy any part thereof at such times during normal business hours as ACS and Symetra shall mutually agree, but in no event later than ten (10) business days after Symetra’s written request to ACS, unless a shorter time frame is necessary to enable Symetra to comply with any regulatory requirement. ACS shall retain and maintain accurate records, books and documentation relating to its performance of Services under this Agreement until the latest of: (i) seven (7) years after the final payment to ACS hereunder; (ii) one (1) year following the final resolution of all audits or the conclusion of any

litigation with respect to this Agreement; or (iii) such longer time period as may be required by applicable federal, state, local and/or international laws or regulations, including tax laws.
     7.2 Operational Audits. Upon Symetra’s request, but no more often than once annually except: (a) as necessary for Symetra to respond to any regulatory requirement or inquiry; or (b) as deemed reasonably necessary by Symetra as a result of Symetra’s good faith belief that ACS has breached any of its obligations hereunder and such breach has exposed, or in Symetra’s reasonable judgment, is likely to expose, Symetra to financial or other liabilities in excess of [***], ACS shall allow Symetra and/or any independent Third Party selected by Symetra from among the firms listed on Attachment Q, or any other firm that may then be agreed to by the Parties, to perform operational and/or security audits with respect to ACS’ performance of its obligations hereunder. If a firm listed on Attachment Q might otherwise be ineligible to act as Symetra’s auditor under this Section due to a conflict of interest arising from a former or current representation of ACS, ACS and Symetra agree that such conflict may be eliminated by the audit firm’s creation of an ethical wall or other screening procedure satisfactory to both parties. ACS shall grant, and shall cause its Subcontractors to grant, Symetra and its Third Party representatives full and complete access to ACS’ and its Subcontractors’ facilities (including, without limitation, the Symetra-specific network and systems environments so that vulnerability and penetration assessments can be performed) and all books, records and other documents of ACS and its Subcontractors as they relate to this Agreement, or as they may be required in order for Symetra to ascertain any facts relative to ACS’ performance hereunder. ACS shall provide Symetra, or its authorized Third Party representatives, such information and assistance as requested in order to perform such audits; provided, however, that the Parties shall endeavor to arrange such assistance in such a way that it does not interfere with ACS’ performance of the Services. If any audit reveals a material inadequacy or deficiency in ACS’ performance, the cost of such audit, up to a cap of [***], shall be borne by ACS. ACS shall incorporate this paragraph verbatim into any Agreement into which it enters with any Subcontractor providing Services under this Agreement.
     7.3 Financial Audits. Upon Symetra’s request, but no more often than once annually except: (a) as necessary for Symetra to respond to any regulatory requirement or inquiry; or (b) as deemed reasonably necessary by Symetra as a result of Symetra’s good faith belief that a billing error has occurred involving an amount in excess of [***], ACS shall allow Symetra and/or any independent Third Party selected by Symetra from among the firms listed on Attachment Q, or any other firm that may then be agreed to by the Parties, to fully audit ACS’ and/or its Subcontractors’ books and records to the extent necessary to verify any amounts paid or payable hereunder. If a firm listed on Attachment Q might otherwise be ineligible to act as Symetra’s auditor under this Section due to a conflict of interest arising from a former or current representation of ACS, ACS and Symetra agree that such conflict may be eliminated by the audit firm’s creation of an ethical wall or other screening procedure satisfactory to both parties. Such auditors shall be provided with full access to such information, books and records as may be necessary to confirm the accuracy of ACS’ invoices, documents, and other information supporting such invoices, and any pricing adjustment computations. All such audits shall be conducted during business hours, with reasonable advance notice, and shall include access to all proprietary and confidential information of ACS and its Subcontractors to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.3. If any such audit reveals that ACS has overcharged Symetra five percent (5%) or more during the period to which the audit relates (as determined prior to the commencement of the audit), then ACS promptly shall refund such overcharges to Symetra together with interest thereon retroactive to the date of the overcharge(s) at the Interest Rate, and the cost of such audit (up to a cap of [***]), shall be borne by ACS. Similarly, if any such audit reveals that ACS has undercharged Symetra during the period to which the audit

ACS shall incorporate the auditing requirements set forth in this paragraph verbatim into any agreement into which it enters with any Subcontractor providing Services under this Agreement.
     7.4 Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance.
          7.4.1 General. ACS acknowledges that: (a) Symetra’s management is now and/or in the future may be required under the SOX Laws to, among other things, assess the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting and state in its annual report whether such internal controls are effective; (b) Symetra’s independent auditor is now and/or in the future may be required to evaluate the process used by management to reach the assessment conclusions described in subsection (a) above to determine whether that process provides an appropriate basis for management’s conclusions; and (c) because Symetra has outsourced certain functions to ACS as described in this Agreement, the controls used by ACS (including, without limitation, controls that restrict unauthorized access to systems, data and programs) are relevant to Symetra’s evaluation of its internal controls. Having acknowledged the foregoing, ACS agrees to cooperate with Symetra and its independent auditor as reasonably necessary to facilitate Symetra’s ability to comply with its obligations under the SOX Laws including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by complying with the further terms of this Section 7.4.
          7.4.2 SAS 70 Type II Audits.
                    7.4.2.1 ACS Audits. At its sole cost and expense, ACS shall cause a reputable independent auditor to conduct SAS 70 Type II Audits, and to prepare and deliver to Symetra full and complete copies of written reports prepared following such audits, in July of each year during the Term (covering January through June of that year), and in January of each year during the Term (covering July through December of the prior year). All SAS 70 Type II Audits conducted by ACS pursuant to this Section 7.4.2.1 shall include a review of all of ACS’ internal controls as they relate to ACS’ customers generally. If requested by Symetra, ACS shall cause its independent auditor to timely prepare and submit to Symetra for its review and approval a detailed description of the scope of the first SAS 70 Type II Audit to be conducted by ACS hereunder that specifically identifies therein, among other things, any limitations on the scope of the audit. Once approved by Symetra, and unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, such scope description shall be used for all SAS 70 Type II Audits to be conducted by ACS hereunder.
                    7.4.2.2 Symetra Audits. At its sole cost and expense and upon reasonable prior written notice to ACS, but no more frequently than twice annually (unless additional audits are necessary for Symetra and/or its Affiliates to address a SOX Laws requirement), Symetra shall have the right (either through its internal audit staff or through a reputable independent auditor) to conduct audits including, without limitation, SAS 70 Type II Audits, of ACS’ internal controls as they affect Symetra and/or its Affiliates. In order to facilitate such audits, ACS shall collect and maintain appropriate books and records documenting ACS’ internal controls (both for ACS’ customers generally and as they affect Symetra and/or its Affiliates) (for purposes of this Section, collectively, “Records”). Further, with respect to such audits, Symetra and/or its independent auditors shall have the right to: (a) examine and audit the Records; and (b) question and interview any ACS personnel, in each case as reasonably necessary or desirable to facilitate Symetra’s and/or its Affiliates’ ability to comply with the SOX Laws. ACS shall obtain Symetra’s prior written consent before modifying any of its internal

          7.4.3 Results of Inquiries and Corrective Plan. If any SAS 70 Type II Audit report and/or Symetra’s (or its independent auditor’s) inquiries pursuant to Section 7.4.2.2 reveal any deficiencies and/or exceptions (including, without limitation, if it is determined that ACS’ internal controls, in whole or in part, fail to constitute effective controls over financial reporting), ACS shall prepare and deliver to Symetra a detailed plan that is reasonably acceptable to Symetra for promptly correcting all such deficiencies and exceptions (“Corrective Plan”). ACS shall deliver such Corrective Plan to Symetra and its independent auditor within ten (10) calendar days following: (a) ACS’ delivery to Symetra of the SAS 70 Type II Audit report containing the deficiencies and/or exceptions, if the deficiencies and/or exceptions were identified in a SAS 70 Type II Audit report prepared pursuant to Section 7.4.2.1; and/or (b) ACS’ receipt of written notice from Symetra that contains a description of such deficiencies and/or exceptions, if the deficiencies and/or exceptions were identified by Symetra (or its independent auditor) through the exercise of the rights described in Section 7.4.2.2. ACS shall bear all costs and expenses associated with correcting all deficiencies and exceptions identified in the Corrective Plan if such deficiencies and/or exceptions affect ACS’ customers generally. If the deficiencies and/or exceptions do not affect ACS’ customers generally, but rather are unique to Symetra, ACS may activate the change management procedures developed by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.6.2 with respect to the correction of such deficiencies and exceptions.
          7.4.4 Subcontractors. To the extent any ACS Subcontractor will perform any function that affects Symetra’s financial reporting (irrespective of whether Symetra’s consent to such subcontract arrangement is required as provided in Section 18.1), the agreement entered into by ACS and the Subcontractor shall include: (a) substantially the same terms as those appearing in this Section 7.4 (with any substantive deviations being preapproved in writing by Symetra); and (b) a provision identifying Symetra as a direct and intended third-party beneficiary of the agreement between ACS and the Subcontractor.
          7.4.5 Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything that may be contained herein to the contrary, Symetra shall have the right to: (a) disclose all ACS Confidential Information received by Symetra and its independent auditor pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.4 to its employees, independent auditors, attorneys and other Persons with a reasonable need to know; and (b) use such information as necessary or desirable to facilitate its ability to comply with the SOX Laws.

If: (i) a Force Majeure Event occurs with respect to Symetra; (ii) such Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, inhibits and/or frustrates Symetra’s ability to receive the Services from ACS under circumstances when ACS is otherwise able to provide the Services to Symetra; and (iii) such Force Majeure Event continues for seven (7) consecutive calendar days or more, or for ten (10) consecutive or non-consecutive calendar days or more during any thirty (30) calendar day period, then Symetra shall have the right to terminate the Services affected by the Force Majeure Event by delivering to ACS a Termination Notice specifying the Termination Date; provided, however, that ACS shall remain obligated to perform its Disentanglement obligations hereunder until such obligations have been fulfilled. During such period, Symetra shall remain obligated to pay the Annual Services Fees and other fees to ACS in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until such Services are terminated in accordance with this Section. Any termination pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a termination for convenience or for cause, and Symetra shall in no event be required to pay a Termination Fee to ACS with respect to any such termination.
               (b) ACS Force Majeure Events. If a Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders, or delays ACS’ performance of all or any portion of the Services for seven (7) consecutive calendar days or more, or for ten (10) consecutive or non-consecutive calendar days or more during any thirty (30) calendar day period, thereby causing an adverse impact on Symetra’s business operations, then:
                    (i) with Symetra’s reasonable cooperation, ACS at its sole cost and expense immediately shall procure the affected Services from an alternate provider, and thereafter provide such Services to Symetra through the use of the alternate provider until ACS is able to resume performance of the affected Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that ACS’ obligations under this subsection (i) shall continue for a period that shall not exceed one-hundred eighty (180) calendar days plus the length of any Disentanglement Period, and during such period Symetra shall remain obligated to pay the Annual Services Fees and other fees to ACS in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

                    (ii) once the affected Services have been stabilized with the alternate provider, ACS shall be obligated to provide such Services to Symetra in accordance with the SLRs and other terms of this Agreement; and
                    (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, if ACS is unable to provide the Services through an alternate provider within seven (7) calendar days following commencement of the Force Majeure Event, or the one-hundred eighty (180) calendar day time period described in subsection (i) above expires without ACS having resumed performance of the affected Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Symetra shall have the right to terminate all of the Services in one (1) or more countries, terminate one (1) or more Service Towers in one (1) or more countries and/or to end the Term, in each case by delivering to ACS a Termination Notice specifying the Termination Date; provided, however, that ACS shall remain obligated to perform its Disentanglement obligations hereunder until such obligations have been fulfilled.
Any termination pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a termination for convenience nor cause, and Symetra shall in no event be required to pay a Termination Fee to ACS with respect to any such termination.
          9.2.4 HIPAA. ACS acknowledges that the HIPAA terms set forth in Attachment K (and the HIPAA terms set forth in any separate HIPAA agreement as contemplated under Section 14.4.1), as applicable, include the right under the circumstances described therein for Symetra (and/or the applicable Symetra Affiliate) to terminate this Agreement. Having acknowledged the foregoing, ACS agrees that Symetra shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for cause upon the occurrence of such circumstances, all in accordance with the terms set forth in Attachment K and/or the applicable separate HIPAA agreement, as applicable. Symetra shall in no event be required to pay a Termination Fee to ACS with respect to any such termination.
     9.3 Events of Default. The following events shall constitute “Events of Default,” and the occurrence of any one (1) or more of such Events of Default by or with respect to a Party shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement that shall afford the non-breaching Party, as applicable, the rights and remedies set forth in this Article 9:
               (a) In the case of ACS, ACS: (i) fails to achieve any SLR in a manner that constitutes an Event of Default as specified in the applicable Schedule; (ii) fails to achieve any particular SLA that adversely impacts Symetra’s business operations for: (A) four (4) or more hours on two (2) consecutive calendar days or more; or (B) four (4) or more hours on five (5) non-consecutive calendar days or more during any thirty (30) calendar day period; (iii) has incurred Fee Reductions equal to thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the Annual At-Risk Amount within: (A) in the case of the first Contract Year, the period between the Effective Date and the first six (6) months following the last to occur of the Hand-over Dates; and (B) in the case of all other Contract Years, the first six (6) months of any such Contract Year; (iv) has incurred Fee Reductions equal to the Annual At-Risk Amount at any time during any Contract Year; or (v) fails to comply with any SLA, and such failure causes a material adverse effect on Symetra’s business;

ACS shall accomplish a complete transition of any terminated Services from ACS and its Subcontractors to Symetra, its Affiliates and/or to any replacement provider(s) designated by Symetra (collectively, the “Replacement Provider”), without causing any unnecessary interruption of, or causing any unnecessary adverse impact on, the Services, any Other Services and/or services provided by Third Parties (the “Disentanglement”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ACS shall: (a) cooperate with Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider, including by promptly taking all steps required to assist Symetra in effecting a complete Disentanglement; (b) provide to Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider all information regarding the Services as needed for Disentanglement including, without limitation, data conversions, interface specifications and related professional services; (c) provide for the prompt and orderly conclusion of all work, as Symetra may direct, including completion or partial completion of Other Services and/or Out-of-Scope Services, documentation of work in process, and other measures to provide an orderly transition to Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider; and (d) accomplish the other specific obligations de scribed in this Article 10. ACS and Symetra shall discuss in good faith a plan for determining the nature and extent of ACS’ Disentanglement obligations and for the transfer of Services in process; provided, however, that ACS’ obligation under this Agreement to provide all Services necessary for Disentanglement shall not be lessened in any respect. ACS’ obligation to provide the Services shall not cease until a Disentanglement that is satisfactory to Symetra has been completed, including the performance by ACS of all asset transfers, if any, and other obligations of ACS set forth in this Article 10.
     10.2 Disentanglement Period. The process to effectuate the Disentanglement shall begin on any of the following dates: (a) the date designated by Symetra in connection with expiration of the Term, which date shall not be earlier than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days prior to the end of the Term; or (b) the Termination Date specified in any Termination Notice delivered by Symetra to ACS, if Symetra elects to terminate any or all of the Services pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.5 (unless ACS in good faith disputes such termination); or (c) the Termination Date specified in any Termination Notice delivered by ACS to Symetra pursuant to Section 9.4 (unless Symetra in good faith disputes such termination), and shall continue: (d) in the case of subsection (a), until expiration of the Term; or (e) in all other cases, for a period of up to twelve (12) months thereafter, at Symetra’s option (with the applicable date under subsection (d) or subsection (e) above on which ACS’ obligation to perform the Services expires being referred to as the “Expiration Date”). If requested by Symetra, ACS shall perform its Disentanglement obligations on an expedited basis if Symetra terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.2.4 or 9.5.

-46-


Table of Contents

thereafter, provide to Symetra a complete and accurate list of all items that will be subject to conveyance or re-conveyance to Symetra as provided in such Sections. ACS agrees that its agreements with all Third Parties relating to this Agreement, including Subcontractors, shall not include any terms that would prohibit or otherwise restrict such Third Parties, including Subcontractors, from entering into agreements with Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider (whether directly or through an assignment) as provided herein.
          10.3.1 Full Cooperation, Information and Knowledge Transfer. During Disentanglement, the Parties shall cooperate fully with one another to facilitate a smooth transition of the terminated Services from ACS and its Subcontractors to Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider. ACS shall provide such cooperation both before and after the Expiration Date, and such cooperation shall include, without limitation, provision of full, complete, detailed, and sufficient information (including all information then being utilized by ACS with respect to programs, tools, utilities and other resources used to provide the Services, as well as the information and assistance required pursuant to Section 2.5.6, if applicable) and knowledge transfer with respect to all such information in order to enable Symetra’s, its Affiliates’ and/or the Replacement Provider’s personnel (or that of Third Parties) to fully assume, become self-reliant with respect to, and continue without interruption, the provision of the Services. ACS shall cooperate with Symetra and all of Symetra’s other service providers to provide a smooth transition at the time of Disentanglement, with no unnecessary interruption of Services, no unnecessary adverse impact on the provision of Services or Symetra’s activities and no unnecessary interruption of, or unnecessary adverse impact on, any services provided by Third Parties.
          10.3.2 Third-Party Authorizations. Without limiting the obligations of ACS pursuant to Section 12.2 and subject to the terms of any Third Party contracts, if requested by Symetra as part of the Disentanglement, ACS shall procure at no charge to Symetra any Third Party authorizations necessary to grant Symetra the use and benefit of any Third Party contracts between ACS and Third Party contractors used to provide the Services, pending their assignment to Symetra pursuant to Section 10.3.4.
          10.3.3 Transfer of Assets. If and as requested by Symetra as part of the Disentanglement, ACS shall convey to Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider from among those assets used by ACS to provide the Services (including ACS Equipment), such assets (other than software assets otherwise covered by the terms of Section 4.3) as Symetra might select from the list provided by ACS pursuant to Section 10.3 at a price for each such asset that is the lesser of: (a) the net book value as reflected on ACS’ books and records; and (b) a fair market value price determined by a mutually agreed Third Party, or the then-remaining lease value; provided, however, that to the extent Symetra has paid all or any portion of the purchase price for any such assets, ACS shall convey such assets to Symetra at a price equal to the original purchase price less the applicable amounts paid by Symetra. At mutually agreed times during Disentanglement, ACS shall remove from Symetra’s premises any ACS assets (including ACS Equipment) that Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider elect not to purchase. In addition, although Symetra acknowledges that ACS does not control Third-Party equipment vendors (if any), if requested by Symetra, ACS shall assist Symetra, its Affiliates, and/or the Replacement Provider in securing maintenance (including all enhancements and upgrades) and support with respect to any such assets for so long as Symetra requires at competitive rates.
          10.3.4 Assignment of Contracts. If and as requested by Symetra as part of the Disentanglement, ACS shall assign to Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider from

-47-

among those leases, maintenance, support and other contracts used by ACS, Symetra or any other Person in connection with the Services, such contracts as Symetra might select from the list provided by ACS pursuant to Section 10.3. ACS’ obligation under this Section 10.3.4 shall include ACS’ performance of all obligations under such leases, maintenance, support and other contracts to be performed by it with respect to periods prior to the date of assignment, and ACS shall reimburse Symetra for any Losses resulting from any claim that ACS did not perform any such obligations.
          10.3.5 Delivery of Documentation and Data. If and as requested by Symetra, ACS shall deliver to Symetra, its Affiliates, and/or the Replacement Provider all documentation and data related to ACS’ provision of the Services, including the Symetra Data, all results of ACS’ processing activities and use of Symetra’s Data, as well as all procedures, standards and operating schedules (including the Standards and Procedures Manual), held by ACS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACS may retain one (1) copy of such documentation and data, excluding Symetra Data, for archival purposes or warranty support. ACS shall delete all data storage media used in its processing activities following completion of its Disentanglement obligations. All test and data processing material shall be destroyed or turned over to Symetra without undue delay.
          10.3.6 Hiring of Employees. ACS shall as soon as reasonably possible following its issuance or receipt of a Termination Notice, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, provide to Symetra a complete and accurate list of all Substantially Dedicated Resources who were involved in providing the Services during the six (6) month period preceding ACS’ issuance or receipt of such Termination Notice. ACS shall cooperate with and assist (and shall cause its Subcontractors to cooperate with and assist) Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider in offering employment, at the sole discretion of Symetra, to any or all of such employees, whether such offers are made at the time of, after or in anticipation of the Expiration Date. ACS shall be solely responsible for and shall pay to any such employees of ACS who are hired by Symetra, its Affiliates, and/or the Replacement Provider, all severance and related payments, if any are payable pursuant to ACS’ standard policies, and shall cause relevant Subcontractors to pay severance and related payments to any such employee of a Subcontractor who is hired by Symetra or its designee, if any are payable pursuant to such Subcontractors’ standard policies. ACS shall release (and shall cause its Subcontractors to release) from any restrictive covenants including, without limitation, non-compete agreements, any of the employees hired by Symetra, its Affiliates and/ by the Replacement Provider. Notwithstanding any agreements that ACS may have with its employees, ACS shall not take or fail to take any actions that would interfere with or prevent Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider from hiring any or all of such Substantially Dedicated Resources. ACS shall not (and shall ensure that its Subcontractors do not) in any manner communicate disparaging information about Symetra, its Affiliates, and/or the Replacement Provider, or any of their employees, to transitioning employees or existing employees of Symetra, its Affiliates and/or the Replacement Provider.
     10.4 Preparation for Disentanglement.
          10.4.1 Complete Documentation. In addition to and/or as part of the Standards and Procedures Manual, at all times during the Term, ACS shall provide to Symetra complete information, including complete documentation, in accordance with the standards and methodologies to be implemented by ACS, for all software (including applications developed as part of the Services) and hardware, that is sufficient to enable Symetra, its Affiliates, and/or the Replacement Provider, to fully assume the provision of the Services to Symetra.

          10.4.2 Maintenance of Assets. ACS shall maintain all of the hardware, software, systems, networks, technologies, and other assets utilized in providing Services to Symetra (including leased and licensed assets) in good condition and in such locations and configurations as to be readily identifiable and transferable to Symetra or its designees in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; in addition, ACS shall insure such assets in accordance with the requirements of Article 16.
          10.4.3 Advance Written Consents. At all times during the Term, ACS shall seek to obtain advance written consents from all licensors (in accordance with Section 4.3), lessors and other contract parties to the conveyance or assignment of licenses, leases and other contracts to Symetra, its Affiliates, and/or the Replacement Provider upon Disentanglement. If any such consent cannot be obtained, ACS shall so notify Symetra in writing, and Symetra may: (a) as to the affected contract(s), waive this requirement in writing; or (b) elect to enter into the applicable license, lease or other contract directly with the applicable Third Party. ACS also shall obtain for Symetra the right, upon Disentanglement, to obtain maintenance (including all enhancements and upgrades) and support with respect to the assets that are the subject of such leases, licenses and other contracts at the price at which, and for so long as, such maintenance and support is made commercially available to other customers of such Third Parties.
          10.4.4 All Necessary Cooperation and Actions. ACS shall provide all cooperation, take such additional actions, and perform such additional tasks, as may be necessary to ensure a timely Disentanglement in compliance with the provisions of this Article 10.
          10.4.5 Payment for Disentanglement Services. Symetra shall be required to pay (at the Service Rates, unless other rates are then agreed to by the Parties) for any Disentanglement Services that are both outside the scope of the Services and cannot be accomplished by the Substantially Dedicated Resources without adversely impacting ACS’ ability to comply with the SLRs. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) the ACS Key Personnel shall exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the costs and expenses associated with such Disentanglement services; and/or (b) Symetra may require ACS to re-focus the work efforts of the Substantially Dedicated Resources toward Disentanglement activities and waive any resulting failure of ACS to comply with the SLRs. ACS shall not: (y) in anticipation of sending or receiving a Termination Notice or the expiration of the Term, reduce the number of Substantially Dedicated Resources, nor change the identities of the Substantially Dedicated Resources; or (z) without Symetra’s prior written consent, reduce the number, or change the identities, of the Substantially Dedicated Resources during the Disentanglement Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Substantially Dedicated Resources” means those employees, agents and/or contractors of ACS and/or its Subcontractors that dedicate fifty percent (50%) or more of their work time to providing Services to Symetra and/or the Affiliates of Symetra, all of whom shall be identified periodically by ACS pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 3.1.2.

SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
     13.1 Security.
          13.1.1 General. ACS shall provide all Services utilizing security technologies and techniques in accordance with industry best practices and Symetra’s security policies, procedures and requirements, including those relating to the prevention and detection of fraud or other inappropriate use or access of systems and networks. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ACS shall implement and/or use network management and maintenance applications and tools and appropriate fraud prevention and detection and encryption technologies. In no event shall ACS’ actions or inaction result in any situation that is less secure than: (a) the security provided to Symetra as of the Effective Date; or (b) the security ACS then provides for its own systems and data, whichever is greater.
          13.1.2 Information Access. Prior to performing any Services, ACS and its employees, agents and Subcontractors who may access Symetra Data and software shall execute the Parties’ agreements and forms concerning access protection and data/software security consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. ACS and its employees, agents and Subcontractors shall comply with all policies and procedures of Symetra and its Affiliates regarding data access, privacy and security, including those prohibiting or restricting remote access to Symetra systems and data. Symetra shall authorize, and ACS shall issue, any necessary information-access mechanisms, including access IDs and passwords, and ACS agrees that the same shall be used only by the personnel to whom they are issued. ACS shall provide to such personnel only such level of access as is minimally necessary to perform the tasks and functions for which such personnel are responsible. ACS shall from time-to-time, upon request from Symetra but in the absence of any request from Symetra at least quarterly, provide Symetra with an updated list of those ACS personnel having access to Symetra’s and/or its Affiliate’s systems, software, and data, and the level of such access. Computer data and software, including Symetra Data, provided by Symetra or accessed (or accessible) by ACS personnel or ACS’ Subcontractor personnel, shall be used by such personnel only in connection with the obligations provided hereunder, and shall not be commercially exploited by ACS or its Subcontractors in any manner whatsoever. Without limiting the terms of Section 9.6, failure of ACS or ACS’ Subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this Article 13 may result in Symetra restricting offending personnel from access to Symetra computer systems or Symetra Data. It shall be ACS’ obligation to maintain and ensure the confidentiality and security of Symetra Data.
          13.1.3 Background Checks. If ACS assigns Persons (whether employees, contractors (including Subcontractors) and/or agents) to perform work at any Symetra Site, ACS shall conduct a background check on all such Persons and review the results of the background check of each

-54-


Table of Contents

Person to verify that the Person meets ACS’ standards for employment before presenting the results of the background check to Symetra and requesting that Symetra grant access to any such Person to any Symetra Site. No Person shall have access to any Symetra Site prior to delivery of the written background check to Symetra and Symetra’s approval of such Person. Symetra shall be permitted, at its sole option, to refuse access of any Person to any Symetra Site. Such background check shall be in the form generally used by ACS in its initial hiring of employees or contracting for contractors (including Subcontractors and/or agents) or, as applicable, during the employment-screening process but, at a minimum, must have been performed within the preceding twelve (12) month period and detail the individual’s arrest record, credit history and employment history. ACS shall obtain all releases, waivers or permissions required for the release of such information to Symetra. Prior to presenting any Person to Symetra, with verification on an annual basis, ACS’ human resources manager for this Agreement shall certify that the background check required by this Section 13.1.3 has been conducted with respect to all Persons assigned by ACS to perform work at any Symetra Site.

Without limiting the terms of Section 9.6, any violations or disregard of these rules shall be cause for denial of access by such personnel to properties of Symetra and/or its Affiliates. The operation of ACS vehicles or private vehicles of ACS personnel on Symetra’s property shall conform to posted regulations and safe driving practices. Vehicular accidents on Symetra’s and/or its Affiliates property and involving ACS personnel shall be reported promptly to the appropriate Symetra security personnel.

          13.2.2 Disclosure Requests. Except to the extent Confidential Information is permitted to be disclosed pursuant to Sections 13.2.3 or 13.3, any and all requests, from whatever

          13.2.3 Permitted Disclosures. The Disclosing Party shall require each of its contractors (including Subcontractors) and agents providing Services hereunder or otherwise having access, in whatever form or function, to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, to execute, prior to any such activity or access, a confidentiality agreement, the terms of which shall be no less stringent than the confidentiality requirements to which the Receiving Party is bound under this Agreement and under which such contractors (including Subcontractors) and agents agree to protect and maintain as confidential all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (including, without limitation, following any termination of the Disclosing Party’s relationship with any such contractor (including Subcontractors) and/or agents). The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to those of such employees, contractors (including Subcontractors) and agents who have a need to know the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in order to perform their duties and/or exercise their rights under this Agreement, as determined by an appropriate official of the Disclosing Party, and only to the extent minimally necessary. Regardless of the form of any agreement executed with Receiving Party’s contractors (including Subcontractors) and agents, ACS shall retain liability for all breaches of this Agreement and for the acts or omissions of its officers, employees (including former employees), contractors (including Subcontractors), agents and the like, including the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, by its officers, employees (including former employees), contractors (including Subcontractors), agents and the like. Notwithstanding any contrary terms that may be contained herein, the Receiving Party shall have the right to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the Receiving Party’s accountants, attorneys, financial advisors, banks and other financing sources and other similar advisors who have a need to know such Confidential Information, and Symetra shall have the right to disclose ACS’ Confidential Information to a Replacement Provider to the extent strictly necessary.
     13.3 Legally Required Disclosures. The Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent disclosure is based on the good faith written opinion of the Receiving Party’s legal counsel that disclosure is required by law or by order of a court or governmental agency or in order to comply with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall give advance notice of such requested disclosure and legal opinion to the Disclosing Party prior to any such disclosure (except in the case of SEC-required disclosures or when a judicial or other binding governmental order or decree or binding written instruction of a governmental regulator may prevent such notice) and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or otherwise protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dis-closing Party reserves the right to obtain a protective order or otherwise protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. For purposes of this Section, the Office of General Counsel of each Party may act as that Parry’s legal counsel.
     13.4 Notification and Mitigation. In the event of any impermissible disclosure, loss or destruction of Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall immediately notify the Disclosing Party and take all reasonable steps to mitigate any potential harm or further disclosure, loss or destruction of such Confidential Information.
     13.5 Return of Confidential Information. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term, and at any other time upon written request by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party

-56-


Table of Contents

promptly shall return to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information (and all copies thereof) of the Disclosing Party then in its possession or control, in whatever form, or, in the case of a written request by the Disclosing Party, the Confidential Information specified in such request as then in the Receiving Party’s possession or control, in whatever form. In addition, unless the Disclosing Party otherwise consents in writing, the Receiving Party also shall deliver to the Disclosing Party or, if requested by the Disclosing Party, shall delete or destroy, any copies, duplicates, summaries, abstracts or other representations of any such Confidential Information or any part thereof, in whatever form, then in the possession or control of the Receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) ACS may retain one (1) copy of documentation and data, excluding Symetra Data, for archival purposes or warranty support; provided, however, that any subsequent disclosure of such archived data shall comply with this Article 13; and (b) Symetra may retain ACS’ Confidential Information (excluding any Category 5 Software) to the extent required by law or regulation, to the extent otherwise permitted under this Agreement and for legal archival purposes.
     13.6 Injunctive Relief. If the Receiving Party or anyone acting on its behalf or operating under its control, including employees, Subcontractors and other Third Parties, publishes, transmits, releases, discloses or uses any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in violation of this Article 13, or if the Disclosing Party anticipates that the Receiving Party may violate or continue to violate any restriction set forth in this Article 13, then the Disclosing Party shall have the right to have the provisions of this Article 13 specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, without being required to post bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of available remedies at law, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such violation shall cause irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party and that monetary damages shall not provide an adequate remedy.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, ACS agrees that Attachment K (and any separate agreements that may be entered into by ACS and any Symetra Affiliate) shall be modified appropriately if Symetra determines that such modifications are necessary for Symetra and/or its Affiliates to comply with any and all modifications to HIPAA and/or its implementing regulations.
          14.4.2 Security Requirements. ACS acknowledges that certain Security and Electronic Signature Standards have been issued by the Secretary (as the same may have been and/or may be modified from time-to-time, the “Security Standards”) and that such Security Standards will affect the manner in which ACS provides the Services to Symetra hereunder.

Having regard to the state of the art and the cost of their implementation, ACS shall ensure that such measures will provide a level of security appropriate to the risks represented by the Services to the processing and in consideration of the nature of the data to be protected. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, ACS agrees, at Symetra’s request, to provide relevant assistance to Symetra to devise appropriate technical and organization measures. By executing this Agreement, Symetra appoints ACS as a data processor of Symetra Data. As a processor of such data, ACS will process Symetra Data as specified in this Agreement.

     15.3 Indemnification Procedures.
          15.3.1 General. If any legal action governed by this Article 15 is commenced against an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such legal action is commenced; provided, however, that failure to give prompt notice shall not reduce the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article 15, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. After such notice, if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that the right of indemnification under this Agreement applies with respect to such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects in a written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party not fewer than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which a response to such claim is due, to take control of the defense and investigation of such claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its choice, that are reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to handle and defend same, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in the investigation, trial, and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, through its attorneys or otherwise, in such investigation, trial, and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom. If a court of competent jurisdiction later determines, without right of further appeal, that a claim, suit or proceeding for which the Indemnifying Party assumed defense was not eligible for indemnification under this Article 15, within thirty (30) calendar days following such determination, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all judgments, settlements, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such claim, suit or proceeding.
          15.3.2 Settlement of Claims. No settlement of a claim that involves a remedy other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party along with standard settlement terms, specifically including a dismissal of all claims with prejudice as well as a non-admission of liability or other wrongdoing, shall be entered into by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent may be withheld in the Indemnified Party’s sole discretion. In no event shall an adverse judgment be entered against the Indemnified Party as part of a settlement without its express written consent.
          15.3.3 Defense Declined. If the Indemnifying Party declines to assume defense of a claim as provided in this Section: (a) the Indemnified Party may assume such defense and, if such defense is assumed, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, the Indemnifying Party thereafter shall be barred from assuming such defense at a later time; and (b) if it is later determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, without right of further appeal, that such claim was eligible for indemnification by the Indemnifying Party under this Article 15, within thirty (30) calendar days following such determination, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party in full for all settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such claim.
          15.3.4 Defense Accepted. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Indemnifying Party accepts defense of a claim as provided in this Section, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to engage independent counsel to monitor and participate in the

-63-

defense of the matter as such counsel or the Indemnified Party deems fit to protect its interests. The Indemnifying Party and its counsel must reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party’s counsel to enable such counsel to adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Party.

          17.1.2 IT Outsourcing Committee Performance Review. Upon receipt of a written Problem referral from the Parties’ representatives as provided in Section 17.1.1, the IT Outsourcing Committee shall meet within five (5) Business Days thereafter in an effort to resolve the Problem.

If such representatives are unable to resolve the Problem within five (5) Business Days after the Parties have commenced negotiations, or fifteen (15) calendar days have passed since the initial request for negotiations at this level, then the Parties shall be entitled to discontinue negotiations, to seek to resolve the Problem through mediation as hereinafter provided or, if the Parties do not agree to submit the Problem to mediation, to seek any and all rights and remedies that may be available to them as provided in this Agreement.
          17.1.4 Voluntary, Non-Binding Mediation. If executive-level performance review is not successful in resolving the Problem, the Parties may, but shall not be obligated to, mutually agree in writing to submit the Problem to non-binding mediation.

The Parties mutually shall select an independent mediator experienced in IT systems, and each shall designate a representative(s) to meet with the mediator in good faith in an effort to resolve the Problem.

     17.2 Continued Performance; No Tolling of Cure Periods. The Parties agree to continue performing their obligations under this Agreement while the Problem is being resolved as provided in this Article 17, unless and until the Problem is resolved or until this Agreement is terminated. The time frame for a Party to cure any breach of the terms of this Agreement shall not be tolled by the pendency of any Problem resolution procedures.
     17.3 De Minimis Problems. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 17 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if: (a) Symetra requests services, products and/or resources from ACS and the Parties disagree as to whether any such request is within the scope of the Services; and (b) the financial impact on ACS of satisfying such request is less than [***], then the disagreement shall not be deemed a Problem, but absent mutual agreement of the Parties through the IT Outsourcing Committee, shall be deemed resolved in Symetra’s favor. The maximum financial impact on ACS pursuant to this Section shall not exceed [***] in the aggregate during any Contract Year.
     17.4 Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief whenever the facts or circumstances would permit a Party to seek equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
ARTICLE 18
USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS

Except as hereinafter provided in this Section, ACS shall not perform or provide the Services through Subcontractors, including providers of hardware and software, without the prior written consent of the Symetra Project Executive as to the selection of the Subcontractor, which consent may be withheld by Symetra in its sole discretion. Any such consent, or ACS’ subcontracting to the wholly owned subsidiaries of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (which shall not require Symetra’s prior consent) shall be contingent on ACS’ compliance with the terms of Section 7.4.4 (when applicable) and Section 13.2.3 before the Subcontractor (including any wholly owned subsidiary) begins providing any Services to ACS or Symetra. Symetra consents to the Subcontractors identified in Attachment O, provided that ACS complies with the terms of Section 7.4.4 (when applicable) and Section 13.2.3 before the Subcontractor begins providing any Services to ACS or Symetra. ACS shall ensure that each Subcontractor has obtained and maintains all licenses required in connection with the Services for which such Subcontractor is responsible. ACS agrees that it shall continue throughout the Term to retain the Subcontractors identified as “Key Sub contractors” in Attachment O and that such Persons shall continue to provide the Services initially provided, unless ACS has obtained Symetra’s prior written consent to any changes, which consent may be withheld in Symetra’s sole discretion.
     18.2 Subcontractor Agreements. ACS will provide to Symetra copies of all agreements between ACS and its Subcontractors related to the performance of this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days after such contracts are executed by ACS and its Subcontractors.

If Symetra determines that the performance or conduct of any Subcontractor is unsatisfactory, Symetra may notify ACS of its determination in writing, indicating the reasons therefor, in which event ACS promptly shall take all necessary actions to remedy the performance or conduct of such Subcontractor or, subject to the terms of Section 18.1, replace such Subcontractor by another Third Party or by ACS personnel.
     18.4 Direct Agreements. Upon expiration or termination of the Term for any reason, Symetra shall have the right to enter into direct agreements with any Subcontractors.

1.1 Personnel and Organization Overview
ACS’ strategic business unit (“SBU”) model, performance-based compensation and corporate client satisfaction directive ensure that every ACS employee understands that ACS’ success depends on its ability to serve and support each client’s needs.

  ¨   Account structure focuses on Symetra with resources that are aligned with Symetra’s objectives.
 
  ¨   Compensation is directly tied to Symetra’s satisfaction and ACS’ ability to exceed performance measurements.
A communication strategy is in place to facilitate a structured approach to ongoing communication and navigating through both organizations.

The SBU manager (a/k/a ACS Project Executive) has significant business knowledge and management experience and a solid understanding of the role IT plays in achieving short-range and long-range business objectives. SBU managers are responsible for ensuring that everyone at ACS is working to support Symetra’s critical business systems. Ultimately, the SBU manager’s role is to communicate and promote Symetra’s point of view within ACS—to be a Symetra advocate.
The ACS Service Delivery Manager is responsible for receiving, scheduling and delivering on service requests and day-to-day issues. The ACS Service Delivery Manager works directly with Symetra to clarify requests, discuss timing, develop specific project plans (if necessary) and provide project status.

working directly with Symetra, becomes the conduit through which Symetra takes advantage of ACS’ technical resources.
Account Governance and Account Governance Board (“AGB”)
Key to establishing a successful governance board is ensuring that ACS’ proposed governance board structure is appropriately mapped to the structural and functional requirements specified by Symetra. ACS will collaborate with Symetra in establishing a jointly defined and mutually beneficial account governance program. The AGB is also known as the IT Outsourcing Committee. The descriptions and rights and responsibilities of the Parties related to the AGB and its associated boards and teams as set forth in this Schedule shall not diminish the rights and responsibilities of the Parties related to the IT Outsourcing Committee as set forth in Section 1.2 of the Agreement.
Account Governance Board Structure
Co-chairs, one each from Symetra and ACS, will lead the AGB, which will comprise four standard teams and one special team. The four standard teams are the governance team, audit team, finance team, and operations team. The four standard teams will meet regularly. The special team is the executive team and will meet at least annually and as needed to provide strategic direction or resolve problems that have been escalated to them by the AGB chair(s).
Governance Team Purpose
The governance team will oversee activities associated with the Agreement. This team is responsible for ensuring the overall effectiveness of the Agreement governance processes and communicating to Symetra and ACS stakeholders. The management and resolution of financial and operational issues is the responsibility of the governance team. Contract interpretation is the responsibility of the governance team. The governance team provides direction to the audit, finance and operations teams.
Audit Team Purpose
The audit team assists the governance team in fulfilling contract oversight responsibilities through participation in daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual and ad hoc review processes. This team is responsible for monitoring compliance with the financial and operational deliverables associated with the Agreement. It ensures that financial statements are accurate and consumption measurement methods, and that SLA/SLR measurement methods are consistent with the Agreement.
Finance Team Purpose
The finance team assists the governance board with rationalizing the portfolio of Services being provided or which may be added to the Agreement. This team works to ensure that the pricing is competitive and oversees benchmarking activities. This team provides consumption forecasts and acts as the project management office (PMO) for Services. This team oversees the intake processes and new business proposal processes. This team coordinates internal chargeback related activities.
Operations Team Purpose
The operations team assists the governance board with ensuring that day-to-day operational processes such as problem management, change management, asset management and

SLA/SLR management are executed effectively. This team provides the day-to-day oversight of operational processes being delivered via the Agreement.
SBU Manager Selection
Without limiting any of its rights in Article 3 of the Agreement, Symetra will be involved in the selection process of this SBU manager to ensure the best fit culturally, technically and strategically. ACS recruits the SBU manager through several channels. Working with Symetra, ACS will determine which approach and characteristics will deliver the best candidate. Some of the methods used include the following:
  ¨   Recruiting internally within the SBU management team
 
  ¨   Leveraging the salesperson’s knowledge gained throughout the sales process to continue delivery of the Services
In addition to these selection methods, ACS will qualify candidates based on established criteria. These criteria include areas such as industry knowledge, technology experience within specific Service Towers and leadership ability applicable to the account size.
Because the SBU manager will become “embedded” in Symetra, this is an important factor in the success of the relationship.
Communication Strategy
An ACS customer service cornerstone is a defined communication strategy between ACS and our clients. At ACS, we would rather over-communicate than make an assumption.
We recommend weekly and monthly service review meetings with different parties as an opportunity to discuss the relationship status at a technical and business level, as depicted in Figure 2.
(GRAPHICS)
Figure 2—SBU Communication Strategy
ACS maintains contractual performance statistics that the SBU manager will review monthly with Symetra management. This information will be presented graphically with a rolling 12-month history to help identify trends. We also provide a client portal where service

agreements (including, without limitation, the Agreement) and invoices with supporting detail are maintained.
Without limiting the rights and obligations set forth in the Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.2 of the Agreement, ACS will work to identify areas for improvement and, where a problem exists, establish the root cause and present procedures for prevention. A scorecard is provided quarterly that grades ACS on Service delivery, communication and overall account management.
In addition to these reviews, ACS will use the following methods to provide the responsiveness and flexibility Symetra requires:
  ¨   Daily interaction between Symetra functional leaders and the ACS SBU manager and the ACS Service Delivery Manager will keep the lines of communication and understanding open.
 
  ¨   Regular status meetings will be conducted to review and discuss activities or issues related to the provision of Services.
 
  ¨   Annual technology reviews will discuss Symetra’s business directions and ACS’ new products and services relative to Symetra’s environment.

4.1 Objectives
A key objective of the Agreement is to attain service-level requirements (SLRs) and service level agreements (SLAs). SLRs are detailed in the following sections of this Data Center Service SOW and SLAs are detailed in Schedule 5 of the Agreement — Fee Reductions.
ACS shall provide written reports to Symetra regarding ACS’ compliance with the SLRs/SLAs specified in this Data Center Services SOW.
4.2 Definitions
The following defined terms shall apply to this Date Center Services SOW and the applicable SLRs/SLAs:
Administrative Functions – Routine functions such as setting up userIDs, changing authorization tables, changing account codes, and similar functions handled by ACS.

Where unavailability is defined as:
S outage duration x 100
Scheduled Time – planned outage
Incident Resolution Time – The time elapsed from the initiation of a trouble ticket until service is restored.
Measurement Interval – The period of time performance will be calculated. This takes into consideration the impact of continuous outage. For example, a monthly measurement interval for a 99% minimum performance for a 7x24 system with 8 hours of weekly planned downtime would allow 6.4 hours of a continuous outage with no other outages during the month. A weekly interval would only allow 1.6 hours of a continuous outage.
Online Response Time - Amount of time required to refresh end user screen from point that enter command is given from end user device. Includes CICS, IMS, DB2, and TSO.

All computer, data communications and environmental equipment is served with sophisticated power conditioning equipment to minimize disruptions in service because of exterior power fluctuations. Additionally, all vital system components are attached to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system that provides power monitoring and line conditioning, as well as automatic switching to a battery system.

ACS performs a weekly routine testing of all systems to ensure that equipment is in good working order. ACS facilities personnel maintain the emergency procedures in place.

ACS has two utility feeds from separate substations, allowing a transfer to the second feed should if power is lost to the other feed. The Dallas facility comprises N+2 capabilities—two UPS modules, expandable to four. At current loads, the N-battery system can function approximately 30 minutes—at full capacity, 11 minutes—before adding additional support modules to avoid reaching full capacity.

For network support, two independent OC-48 SONET rings currently service the Dallas facility—one from SBC, the other from MCI. Each ring is a four-strand, counter-rotating SONET facility. The two rings have separate entrance facilities. The outside plant components of each ring use separate utility easements as well. Each ring is connected to two geographically separate ISP points of presence (POPs) from AT&T and UUNET.

The facilities are segmented into individual zones that are each fully equipped with fire, smoke and moisture detection systems, thus providing full protection against all environmental hazards.

normal conditions protect the facilities. The sprinkler systems are activated with water only when an alarm situation occurs. When activated, the sprinklers discharge water in areas indicating unacceptable heat levels. The fire and police departments are electronically notified of any alarm condition.

ACS’ Dallas campus is protected by an eight-foot perimeter fence with a single point of vehicle entry. Security personnel staff the point of entry 24x7. Campus access is permitted via an integrated badge access system with dual redundancy. All access badges include photo ID and are color-coded to distinguish between employees, business partners and temporary personnel. Entrance points are monitored via closed-circuit TV with displays located in permanent security guard posts.

All computer, data communications and environmental equipment is served with sophisticated power conditioning equipment to minimize disruptions in service because of exterior power fluctuations. All vital system components are attached to a UPS system that provides power monitoring and line conditioning, as well as automatic switching to a battery system. Utility-supplied electrical power to the facility (dual service) is backed by batteries and generators that are controlled by two UPS systems. The facility’s battery systems use a combination of Liebert and Exide technologies that are currently rated at N+2. The battery time on all at preset capacity is approximately is 40 minutes.

The batteries can sustain the facility for up to 15 minutes; however, seven seconds after the facility begins to rely solely on battery backup, electrical power is supplied by six diesel-powered 1.281 KVA generators. These generators have 6,000-gallon underground storage tanks. Both main building systems are rated at N+1. The data center can be sustained indefinitely on its own power system if a prolonged disruption in utility-supplied power occurs.

Routine testing and maintenance is performed to make sure that equipment is in working order. ACS tests at existing loads all emergency switchgear pertaining to the backup systems. All changes and problems relating to facilities are documented and available online for customer review.

Access to the facility’s grounds and buildings is strictly controlled through sophisticated physical security systems and procedures. The facility is secured by a 10-foot chain-link fence topped with layers of razor wire that surrounds the facility. The fence is equipped with sonar detectors that alert a central security command center if anything touches the fence. The entire campus is constantly scanned by a closed-circuit television system and is monitored on a 24x7 basis from the central security command center.

A multi-level security system controls access into and within the buildings, limiting the contact that employees, vendors and visitors have within sensitive areas. The system automatically monitors and records the movement of all building occupants. The data center is segmented into individual zones fully equipped with fire, smoke and moisture detection systems that provide full protection against all environmental hazards.

Symetra Life Insurance Company (Symetra)
Schedule 2C—Distributed Computing Services SOW
Availability - The percentage of time the service is fully operational. Availability represents a measure of the fraction of time during a defined period when the Service provided is deemed to be better than the defined Quality of Service (QoS) threshold (Standard, Enhanced, Premium).
Availability(%) = 100% — Unavailability (%)
Where Unavailability is defined as:
S outage duration x 100
Scheduled Time – planned outage
Break/Fix – An End-User request placed due to a software or hardware problem encountered in accessing or operating IT resources where support Services are required to resolve the problem.
Incident Resolution Time – The time elapsed from the initiation of a Trouble Ticket until Service is restored.
Measurement Interval – The period of time performance will be calculated. This takes into consideration the impact of continuous outage. For example, a monthly measurement interval for a 99% Minimum Performance for a 7x24 system with 8 hours of weekly planned downtime would allow 6.4 hours of a continuous outage with no other outages during the month. A weekly interval would only allow 1.6 hours of a continuous outage.
Peripherals – Equipment such as local printers, workgroup hubs and switches, patch cords, keyboards, mice, etc.
Reporting Interval – The time span between regular performance reporting periods.
Scheduled Time – The time during which Service is to be operational as designated in the applicable SLR table.
Service Level Requirement (SLR) – The percentage of time or instances that the target service level requirement must be met.
Target – The desired level of Service Symetra is seeking for that particular service level metric.
4.3   Service Level Requirements (SLRs)
ACS shall meet the following minimum SLRs commencing on the Handover Date (unless another date is expressly set forth in a particular SLR) that is applicable to Distributed Computing Services. ACS must consistently meet or exceed the following SLRs. SLRs associated with Fee Reductions are detailed in Schedule 5 — Fee Reductions. All times referenced are Pacific Standard Time.

4.0 Service Management
4.1 Purpose
A key objective of this outsourcing agreement is to attain SLRs. SLAs and project-specific SLAs are specified with fee reductions where business is impacted through failure to meet significant mission critical systems or services, or project milestones or objectives warrants a reduction in Fees paid when Service performance requirements are not met. SLRs are detailed in Section 4.3 of this Schedule and SLAs are detailed in Schedule 5 — fee reductions.
ACS shall provide written reports to Symetra regarding ACS’s compliance with the SLRs specified in this SOW Schedule.
4.2 Definitions
The following defined terms shall apply to this SOW and the SLRs set forth in Section 4.3 of this Schedule:
Abandonment—Defined as calls received at Help Desk that enter the queue and that are terminated (End User hang up) prior to pickup by human operator or after voice response unit options (VRU) have been selected. The assumption is that the caller hung up because Call took too long to answer.
After-Hours Support—Refers to all hours outside of Normal Help Desk Business Hours.
Availability —The percentage of scheduled time the service is fully operational. Availability represents a measure of the fraction of time during a defined period when the Service provided is deemed to be as good or better than the defined requirement.
Availability = 100% — Unavailability (%)
Where Unavailability is defined as:
S outage duration x 100
(Schedule Time — planned outage)
Break/Fix — An End-User request placed due to a software or hardware problem encountered in accessing or operating IT resources where support Services are required to resolve the problem.
Business Day Support—Refers to those hours during which ACS personnel will be available to provide consolidated Help Desk support to End Users. Such support includes answering phone calls and e-mails, opening Trouble Tickets, First Call Problem Resolution, and categorizing and routing Trouble Tickets.

Symetra Life Insurance Company (Symetra)
Schedule 2F—Help Desk Services SOW
Call— A call is counted for each unique Service Request made by a single End User with a single problem that is received via telephone, voicemail, and/or e-mail, involving a separate individual and event that results in opening a Help Desk Trouble Ticket. For Incidents where multiple calls are related to a single point of failure (that is, calls related to a server outage), such calls will be considered as a single Call; will not result in opening a separate Help Desk Trouble Ticket; and will not be aggregated or counted as individual Calls for measuring call volume statistics.
Call Abandonment — Percentage of total Calls that terminate after the Speed to Answer threshold has been reached, but prior to an agent taking the Call.
Call Answer—A Call is considered answered when the caller is interacting with a Help Desk agent or when a caller is interacting with a VRU.
Call Back—Defined as a follow-up call to an End User after a Trouble Ticket is closed to determine level of End User satisfaction.
First Contact—Initial contact with a Help Desk human operator is defined as ACS response via telephone, email, web chat resulting from an Incident or Service Request.
First Call Resolution—The percentage of in-scope problem Calls received during the month by the Help Desk, resulting in the creation of a ticket that is resolved while the End-User is still on the phone. This excludes calls received regarding out-of-scope requests and Trouble Tickets initiated via email or voicemail.
Help Desk Trouble Ticket—Refers to a unique logical electronic record to create, update, maintain and archive each Incident. A Help Desk Trouble Ticket is used to record all ACS, Symetra End User, Symetra technical staff and Third Party interaction pertaining to an Incident and all related actions, and corresponding date/time, taken to resolve an Incident, from the time it is first reported to the Help Desk until Incident Resolution and closure by the Help Desk. Also, it is used for application change-control traceability.
How to — An End-User request regarding how to use a feature or function of Help Desk supported software or hardware.
IMAC — Installations, Moves, Adds, Changes — General term for the routine work performed on computer equipment including installations, relocations and upgrades.
Incident Resolution Time — The time elapsed from the initiation of the Trouble Ticket until Service is restored.
Level 1 — Routine event. The Level 1 Help Desk is the support hot line. It acts as the human SPOC for all technology-related problems (internal applications to shrink-wrapped software; LANs; hardware break/fix and more) and Service Requests. Incidents not resolved at the Level 1 support are passed to Level 2 and/or Level 3 support personnel. Level 1 is involved mostly in incident case management (e.g. including user management, incident management, password/access security, coordinating IMACs).

Symetra Life Insurance Company (Symetra)
Schedule 2F—Help Desk Services SOW
Level 2 — Specialized problem or Symetra executives. Level 2 support resolves escalated incidents that require greater depth of knowledge (e.g. IT service tower subject matter expert), standard desk side support and executive desk side and/or phone support.
Level 3 — Complex problem. Level 3 support resolves escalated Incidents that require third parties such as hardware and software vendors, Symetra technical resources and or other service providers to assist or resolve issues.
Staffed Support—Refers to those hours during which ACS must have skilled Help Desk staff available to personally answer calls and provide Help Desk support to Symetra End Users. Such support includes answering phone calls and e-mails, opening trouble tickets, First-Call Problem Resolution, categorizing and routing Trouble Tickets, monitoring open Trouble Ticket status, and escalating problems which are unresolved within the Incident Priority Level time requirements.
Measurement Interval —Refers to the period of time performance will be calculated taking into consideration the impact of continuous outage. For example, a monthly measurement interval for a 99% Minimum Performance for a 7x24 system with 8 hours of weekly planned downtime would allow 6.4 hours of a continuous outage with no other outages during the month. A weekly interval would only allow 1.6 hours of a continuous outage.
Normal Help Desk Business Hours—For the purposes of coverage and critical response times, Symetra has defined the normal business hours “windows of operations” (excluding normally scheduled company holidays) for the North American Region. Days and times falling out of these ranges are considered outside of Normal Help Desk Business Hours. Normal Help Desk Business Hours are as follows:

Self-Help—Refers to automated/electronic means made available directly to End Users to assist in fulfilling various Service Requests not requiring personal assistance, including End User’s ability to track Trouble Ticket status and enter Service Requests without calling the Support Center.
Priority Levels — Symetra-defined category that identifies the degree of Incident importance and associated ACS response requirements attributed to an Incident.
Table 13. Priority Levels
         
Priority Level   Description
1 - Emergency/Urgent   The problem has caused a complete and immediate work stoppage affecting a primary business process or a broad group of End Users such as an entire department, floor, branch, line of business, or external customer. No work around available.
 
       
    Examples:
 
       
 
      Major application problem (e.g. payroll, call center, etc.)
 
       
 
      Severe problem during critical periods (e.g. month-end processing)
 
       
 
      Security Violation (e.g. denial of service, widespread virus, etc.)
 
       
2 - High   A business process is affected in such a way that business functions are severely degraded, multiple End Users are impacted or a key customer is affected. A workaround may be available; however the workaround is not easily sustainable.
 
       
    Examples:
 
       
 
      Major application (e.g. exchange)
 
       
 
      VIP Support
 
       
3 - Medium   A business process is affected in such a way that certain functions are unavailable to End Users or a system and/or service is degraded. A workaround may be available
 
       
    Examples:
 
       
 
      Telecommunication problem (e.g. Blackberry, PBX digital/analog card)
 
       
 
      Workstation problem (e.g. hardware, software)
 
       
4 - Low   An Incident that has little impact on normal business processes and can be handled on a scheduled basis. A workaround is available.
 
       
    Examples:
 
       
 
      End User requests (e.g. system enhancement)
 
       
 
      Peripheral problems (e.g. network printer)
 
       
 
      Preventative Maintenance
 
       
 
      Benchmarks

Symetra Life Insurance Company
Schedule 2G — Output Processing Service SOW
1.0 Project and Services Overview
Output processing systems and software that were owned by Safeco and used to process Symetra daily mainframe1 printed outputs will become unavailable after transition to ACS. The goal of this project is to transfer the printed output services currently provided by Safeco to ACS. These Services include daily cut-sheet and forms-based printing, assembly, distribution, mailing, forms coding, data security, and archiving of printed output images. These needs are further defined within this Output Processing Services SOW.
This project is part of the Symetra transition program, which is responsible to ensure an integrated and successful overall transition from Safeco to Symetra.
In parallel, this project is:
    Linked to an “in flight” document and Content Management SOW project that will address post-transition requirements for: document scanning, indexing, and document and image storage
 
    Linked to an “in flight” print fulfillment project
 
    Required to support our ability to provide information through our agent/customer portal.
1.1 Assumptions
ACS will provide support services per Schedule 2A – Cross Functional Services. Related project assumptions include:
    ACS will establish an Symetra approved project schedule including key milestones and will manage to that project schedule.
 
    ACS will develop and Symetra will approve installation and cutover plans for those phases of the project allowing coordinated planning and the least possible disruption to current users.
 
    Upon project completion, Symetra will have an operational report per the design with complete documentation.
 
    After implementation, ACS will provide ongoing services support by keeping hardware, and software current.
 
    ACS will provide recommendations to improve output processing
1.2 Scope of Output Processing
Output processing includes, but is not limited to the following:
    Output service deliverables:
    form coding and form management

1.3 Business Objectives
General
    Move toward more automated printing, processing and mailing/distribution.
 
    Outsource large volume and fully automated processes to ACS facilities
 
    Update and improve processes during the transition
Policies, contracts and statements
    Limited local printing capability – policies and contracts Checks
 
Checks
 
    Local on the spot check printing capability and automated printing and mailing at ACS facilities
 
    Support three processes that currently produce checks: CDS, Payroll, Accounts Payable, Mutual Funds and SIS, and using a variety of different check stocks.
Taxes
    Convert overlays to forms
 
    Produces both printed output and tapes to meet federal and state requirements.
 
Archive
 
    ACS must provide access to archive documents via web browser
1.4 Technical Objectives
The following mainframe systems have output processing feeds that need to be captured and processed; Cyberlife with IPS and work flow system (ViewStar), Paris, Vantage, LAB-Income Annuities, RPS, DSS, FMS systems, and Group Systems.
Specifications are presented in 9 parts in Section 2 of this Output Processing Services SOW – Output Processing Specifications:
  1.   Current output processes for Symetra
 
  2.   Test outputs
 
  3.   Audit reports
 
  4.   Proof of mailing
 
  5.   Printed output archive
 
  6.   Forms
 
  7.   File transfers
 
  8.   Process flows
 
  9.   Future needs
The majority of applications that generate printed output are vendor systems and reside on the mainframe – IBM z/OS with primarily DB2 and limited IMS databases. The extract files are mainly COBOL output formats. These applications are currently supported on Safeco’s systems but they will be migrated to ACS concurrent with the efforts of this project.

The following environment and Services are required, but are not limited the following, to assist in this transition:
  1.   Network with adequate capacity for file transfer to and from Symetra primary and secondary locations
 
  2.   Temporary/intermediate storage capacity for all specified extract files
 
  3.   Printed output archive
 
  4.   Portal to access archived printed output data/images, forms, and test outputs
 
  5.   Forms creation and management software
 
  6.   Forms library
 
  7.   Print stream generation software/hardware
 
  8.   Cut sheet, special forms and check printers
 
  9.   Post processing/mailing preparation systems
 
  10.   Mail sorting address correction reporting software
 
  11.   Life insurance policies and annuity contracts are forms intensive. Content and appearance must match the approved state-filed form to meet with state and federal compliance requirements.
1.5 Service Locations
Printed outputs fall into two categories: ACS location and Symetra local. Fully automated mailings, such as annual and quarterly statements are those that can be printed processed and mailed directly from ACS’ locations.
Outputs that are not fully automated are those that require manual processing by the originating business operations department. These printed outputs must be made available according to Section 2 to this Output Processing Services SOW — Output Processing Specifications. Symetra data center space can be made available for limited local printing.
1.6 Confidentiality
ACS will be responsible for adhering to Symetra confidentiality policies. Extract files, and related printed output will include sensitive customer financial information. Secure data transfer to and from Symetra, secure processing, secure data storage, secure disposal, where applicable, and strict control of data access are required.
1.7 Out of Scope
    Network printer outputs – addressed in the Data Center Services SOW (Schedule 2B)
 
    Reports, both hardcopy and online in Control D – addressed in the Data Center Services SOW (Schedule 2B)
 
    Marketing material for agents, etc. – print/fulfillment/supply/distribution project
 
    Document and image scanning, storing, retrieving — document management systems and content management systems project
1.8 Staffing

2.0 Output Processing Specifications
These specifications represent descriptions of current processes that must be replicated. These processes do not necessarily need to be duplicated exactly as presented here. Recommendations for improvements that are more cost efficient and are in line with the proposed schedule and project scope are encouraged.
ACS may propose either, processing and printing from the data extract files provided by Symetra systems, or replacement software systems and printing the output streams created by those software systems.
2.1 Current Output Processes for Symetra
The outputs described here will continue to be required after transition from Safeco. The minimum requirement is to reproduce the outputs the same as today. Recognizing that there have not been any efforts made to optimize these outputs for outsourcing, recommendations for improvements in the data extract structures, file sizes and processes will be considered when compatible with the defined time frame and project scope.
The outputs are described as currently processed and produced, and have been separated into categories with similar or common characteristics. The outputs are produced in various formats, using cut sheet paper, roll-fed cut sheet paper, or pre-printed forms. All outputs are currently printed black on white. Reports and program listings using continuous feed forms are not in scope. Rather, they are part of the infrastructure replacement project.
The outputs vary in design, with some using application-formatted text and plain paper or pre-printed forms, some using printer overlays, and some using Safeco’s current electronic print system (EPS) with Documerge software.
Some outputs are automated so that they can be printed, processed and mailed directly to the recipient from ACS’ chosen processing location. However, there are some outputs that will require local printing due the need for manual processing and/or to business processing time constraints.

Schedule 2G — Output Processing Service SOW
2.1.1 Statements Processing
Symetra statements are currently processed in-house using Documerge as the print stream generator. This functionality must be replaced. The bulk of these statements can be generated, printed, processed and mailed in an automated manner.
Statements are currently produced by four vendor applications listed below:
    CK4 (CSC) — Converting to CyberLife in September 2004 – individual life annual statements
 
    Vantage-One (CSC) – deferred annuity statements
 
    Paris – deferred annuity statements and deferred annuity case statements
 
    DSS (CSC) — distribution support system — agent compensation
2.1.1.1 Individual Life Insurance Statements
Annual universal life insurance statements are produced daily based on policy anniversary date. Variable life insurance statements are produced quarterly. The extracts, including both types, are produced by the CK4 policy administration system. This system will be upgraded to CyberLife during 2004, but the output processing will remain the same.
The statement extract is created during nightly batch processing and is sent to an enterprise output system application (EOS) that sorts and formats the data, then generates the print stream using Documerge, and splits it into appropriate print jobs (e.g., bi-fold, flat, agent copy, etc.).
Functional Requirements
    Normal handling statements are printed and processed with Gunther post-processing systems where they are automatically sorted, packaged and readied for mailing. A Third Party vendor processes this mail to provide efficiency and reduced postage costs (bulk mailing).
 
    Agent copies are produced for both normal and special handling statements.
 
    Bi-fold packaging is preferred to reduce mailing costs. There is an automatic changeover to flat when a page count threshold is exceeded (~10 pages) and the fold becomes difficult.
 
    Overflow jobs are used to handle situations where more than 95 pages (reasonable flat limit) are to be packaged together.
 
    There are no inserts.
Business Requirements
    Normal handling statements can be printed, processed and mailed directly to the recipient.
 
    All special handling statements are printed and returned to Symetra for manual processing and mailing.
 
    Special request statements are manually processed by Symetra and must be completed by 8:00 AM the following Business Day. This may require local printing.
 
    Proof of mailing is required.
Archiving
Customer statements are archived in AFP format. The files are stored on tape, with the past 18 months also stored on DASD and available for on-line viewing. Direct access is provided to customer service representatives (CSR) and indirect access is also provided through a web-based application for customers, agents and CSR’s. The stored AFP document is converted to a PDF on the fly for convenient handling and viewing.

2.1.1.2 Deferred Annuity Statements
Deferred annuity statements are produced daily from extracts produced by Vantage-One (job LVF02420) and Paris annuity administration systems (job LPA1S230). The EOS feed is EOS03LFS. Normal handling deferred annuity statements are produced quarterly. Quarterly statements run on the first Business Day following quarter end for the Vantage-One system and on days 2 through 5 for the Paris system. The runs are in the months of January, April, July and October.
The trigger event for normal quarterly statement production is the first Business Day of the new quarter for Vantage-One, and the second, third and fourth Business Days for Paris. The statement extract is created during nightly batch processing and is sent to an enterprise output system application (EOS) which sorts and formats the data, then generates the print stream using Documerge and splits it into appropriate print jobs (bi-fold, flat, agent copy, etc.). Due to the volume produced at quarter-end, the print stream is separated into approximately 12,000 page print jobs.
During the rest of the quarter, smaller special request statements are produced daily. These statements are automatically produced when transactions are backdated over the previous quarter end, and for special requests. Both Paris and Vantage statements can be processed at the same time.
Functional Requirements
    Normal handling statements are printed and then processed with Gunther post-processing systems where they are automatically sorted, packaged and readied for mailing. A Third Party vendor currently processes this mail for efficiency and reduced postage costs.
 
    Agent copy statements are also produced and mailed for both normal and special handling (these are intermixed from Vantage-One and are a separate output from Paris.
 
    First quarter statements carry a two-page, inline privacy notice.
 
    Normal handling statements are produced and mailed during the two weeks following quarter-end as shown in the following table. This distribution helps to minimize excessive peaks in customer service call volume.

    There are newsletter inserts included in selected second and fourth quarter statement packages. The selection is based on product line and product type. These inserts are pre-printed and delivered bi-folded for insertion. They typically consist of 4 pages (11 by 17 glossy, folded into 81/2 by 11, then bi-folded to 51/2 by 81/2). They occasionally have an additional 81/2 by 11 center page.
 
    Bi-fold packaging is preferred to reduce mailing costs. There is an automatic changeover to flat when a page count threshold is exceeded (typically 9 pages) and the fold becomes difficult. Overflow jobs are also provided to handle situations where more than 95 pages (reasonable flat limit) are to be packaged together.

2.1.1.4 Agent Compensation Statements
Agent compensation statements are produced daily from extracts produced by the DSS system (job LVO04730). Checks related to the statements are generated out of the FMS system and are sorted in the same order as the statements.
The statement extract is created during nightly batch processing and is sent to an enterprise output system application (EOS) which sorts and formats the data, generates the print stream and splits it into appropriate print jobs (bi-fold or flat).
Functional Requirements
    Statements are sent to production mailing sorted into 6 groups:
  910 -   New York (with and without checks)
 
  920 -   Income annuities large check — value over $100,000
 
  930 -   Hold code (special handling – sent back to Symetra)
 
  940 -   LMKSGC (grouped by agency – all are addressed the same, but the statements are for many different producers)
 
  950 -   No check (EFT used instead, or check value less than $100)
 
  960 -   All others (statements that are to be matched with checks)
    Checks are manually matched and inserted with the corresponding compensation statement.
 
    Statements are generally packaged in bi-fold envelopes unless they exceed a threshold page count (10 pages) in which case they sent to the flat (9 by 12) envelope print job.
 
    Output schedule is:
  o   Fridays – weekly and bi-weekly statements
 
  o   Month end statements
 
  o   Quarter-end statements and annual statements
Business Requirements
    Statements for New York agencies (sort code 910) must be printed on New York letterhead and mailed in New York envelopes.
 
    Special handling output (sort code 930) must be returned to Symetra for manual handling the next Business Day.
 
    Statements for large checks (sort code 920) must be returned to Symetra for manual handling the next Business Day.
 
    Statements with no check (sort code 950) can be mailed out directly to the recipient.
 
    Statements for LMKSGC (sort code 940) must be matched up to the affiliated check and mailed.
 
    Statements for all others (sort code 960) must be matched up to the affiliated check and mailed.
 
    Mismatch statements (i.e., payment of $100 or greater with no check) must be returned to Symetra for manual handling the next Business Day.
 
    Proof of mailing is required.
Archiving
Agent compensation statements are partially stored on microfiche and partially stored on DSS history. Microfiche was used prior to having DSS. Manual transactions are stored in Filenet.

2.1.2 Deferred Annuity Contracts and Individual Life Policies
Contracts and policies are produced by three applications. Symetra is interested in replacement methods for processing the contract forms and policy extract data, printing the statements, and distributing them.
Contracts and policies are currently processed in-house using an electronic forms management (EFM) database to manage the forms, Documerge V3.0.6 as the print stream generator, AFP format printers, and Gunther post-processing systems. There are some manual processes associated with the production and distribution of these documents.
ACS may propose to supply software systems to replace those systems, or they may propose to process the data extract files to create print streams using their own image generation software.
2.1.2.1 Deferred Annuity Contracts
Deferred annuity contracts are produced daily from extracts produced by the Vantage-One annuity administration system. They are automatically triggered when a policy is issued.
The annuity contract extract is created during nightly batch processing and is sent to an enterprise output system application (EOS) that sorts and formats the data, generates the print stream using Documerge, and splits it into appropriate print jobs. The forms are managed using the EFM database, and the forms are stored in an electronic library (EDL). The extract is created to supply all the necessary information to complete the selected forms. The extract is passed to the EOS application which formats the data and generates the print stream. The scanned and imaged customer application is pulled from an image archive database, converted from PDF to AFP and incorporated in a new, indexed form placed in the EDL. The entire contract package is printed in-stream then processed with the Gunther automated post-processing systems.
The contract package consists of; a) a loose, unbound group of forms including welcome letter, privacy notice, guarantee association notices, contract summaries and various other correspondence; b) the bound contract (currently using VeloBind), consisting of contract face page, contract data page with variable data (amounts, interest rates, customer information, etc.), the contract body, endorsements, an image of the application; and c) a stapled, multi-page buyers guide (for fixed annuities contracts only). The entire package is inserted into a 9 x 12 envelope ready for mailing.
A shortened agent copy is also created including the welcome letter, contract data page and a disclosure form for IRA contracts.
Functional Requirements
    Printed contracts are processed using Gunther automated post-processing equipment. The package is not sealed, and is returned to the new business unit of retirement services for final checkout and mailing.
 
    There are inserts included with the contract package, depending on product and line of business.
 
    Flat packaging (9 by 12 envelopes) is used for all contract packages.
 
    Many of these forms are filed with the states.
Business Requirements
    These contracts must be returned to Symetra by 8:00 AM the next Business Day.
 
    All contract packages are reviewed by the business unit and validated for mailing to the correct recipient (some go to the customer and some go to the agency).
 
    Variable contract packages must be mailed within 2 days of creation.
 
    Ability to re-issue or re-print old contracts is required (sometimes requests back to 1972 are received due to the fact that these are retirement accounts).

    Proof of mailing is required by five states.
Archiving
All contract pages are archived in the printed output archive with the exception of the scanned and imaged customer submitted application. Direct access is provided to CSR’s through an intranet application. The stored AFP document is converted to PDF on the fly for convenient handling and viewing. Contracts must be stored at least 7 years; however the ability to access the contracts indefinitely is required.

2.1.2.2 Individual Life Policies
Individual life insurance policies are produced daily from extracts produced by the CK4 policy administration system (being converted to CyberLife in 2004). The extracts are automatically triggered when a policy is issued.
The individual life policy extract is created during nightly batch processing. The appropriate forms are selected from an electronic forms management database (EFM). The printstream is then generated with all the information needed to complete the set of selected forms. The policy package is printed and then processed with the Gunther automated post processing system. Other print jobs create matched output which is inserted by the Gunther system. A package consists of an unbound group of forms including a welcome letter, privacy notice, guarantee association notice, policy summary, automatic amendments and endorsements and the policy itself, inserted into a flat envelope. These packages are returned to the individual life new business area where a printed copy of the application and the part II documents are inserted. The contract is then bound, packaged and mailed.
Functional Requirements
    Policies are processed using Gunther automated post-processing equipment. The packages created are returned to Symetra early the next Business Day.
 
    Inserts into the contract include the application, part II, Amendments and endorsements.
 
    The application and part II are printed locally within the business unit. The automatic amendments and endorsements print with the contract pages and are manually inserted into the contract.
 
    Flat packaging is used for all policy packages.
Business Requirements
    All policy output must be available for print at Symetra H.Q. by 5:00am the next Business Day.
 
    Proof of mailing is not applicable.
Archiving
All policy pages are archived in the printed output archive with the exception of the scanned and imaged application. Direct access is provided to CSR’s through an intranet application. The stored AFP document is converted to PDF on the fly for convenient handling and viewing.

2.1.4 Check Printing
2.1.4.1 Checks
Check printing is done with on-line and batch processes. The checks produced from the CDS batch process are from administrative system feeds. The online CDS entry allows for same-day check processing. The on-line process is used to generate checks locally for large value amounts or when special processing is required.
Checks for the business lines are printed daily using a Third Party vendor supplied application to create the formatted outputs.
The batch jobs create check forms (stub and check) that can either be automatically processed and mailed, or packaged and returned to the business lines. The on-line jobs create a print stream which is sent to a local MICR printer for printing. On-line is used for check values greater than $250,000, special customer processing requests, and checks that need to be sent by FedEx that day. They are normally processed at 2:00 each afternoon.
Functional Requirements
    Printed output from LAD60303 is folded and inserted into envelopes ready for mailing.
 
    Printed output from LAD60304 is returned to Symetra for manual handling.
 
    The on-line manually input checks are processed by LAD60310 for special processing as defined in the description above.
 
    There are generally no inserts for the directly mailed checks; however, there may be ad-hoc insert requests at a company or product line level.
 
    Checks are packaged in standard tri-fold business envelopes.
Business Requirements
    The checks must be held until 1:00 PM in case any checks need to be pulled prior to mailing.
 
    Printed output from LAD60304 must be returned to Symetra for manual handling the next Business Day. The output is manually matched to other correspondence prior to mailing.
 
    Proof of mailing is required.
Archiving
Printed output is not archived. The files are copied to tape which is sent to storage and retained for 10 years.

2.1.5 Taxes
2.1.5.1 Tax Forms from Finance
These outputs include standard forms 1099, 5498 and W2.
A large percentage of the tax output is annual – January for the 1099 and May for the 5498. There is a small amount of daily processing throughout the year.
The administrative systems interface with LTR. The LTR system runs on software provided by check free. The business units can also manually update LTR.
The trigger is a taxable event (e.g., withdrawal, payment, etc.).
Functional Requirements
    Printed output is processed and mailed directly to the recipient.
 
    Inserts are not allowed.
 
    These notices are packaged in various envelopes based on the form.
 
    All forms can be run daily as required for corrections.
Business Requirements
    The envelopes must indicate “Tax Document Enclosed”.
 
    The SSN cannot show in the envelope window.
 
    The 1099 forms must be mailed no later than January 31th. They are typically printed for mailing January 15thand mailed a week before the deadline.
 
    The 5498 forms must be mailed no later than May 31st. The data should be available at the print and mail center 5 days prior to mail date.
 
    Foreign mail can be mailed directly to the recipient after the correct postage is applied.
 
    The following output must be returned to Symetra the next Business Day for manual handling:
  o   State output — Some states require a copy of the 1099 or W-2 to be provided. Tapes are sometimes used based on volume of data and state requirements.
 
  o   Reprints – The reprint ability is used to process mailings that are ripped or torn during handling or mail processing.
 
  o   Corrections
 
  o   Bad address mail
    Proof of mailing is not applicable.
 
    Reporting of output counts is required. The LTR system creates reports that are used in conjunction with data center processes, including counts.
Archiving
Archiving is currently supported on microfiche. By October 2004, the archiving should be transitioned to Control D. Symetra would prefer to have a web interface to the image archive storage.

Test outputs are produced for many of the same jobs used to create production outputs. Timing on these is random, and used only when maintenance or improvements are required.
Online viewing and/or test outputs must be available to Symetra within 24hrs.
Symetra needs the ability to run test jobs and print all, some, or none of the output. As an example: If Symetra is doing statement testing Symetra does not want to print contracts. Symetra may be able to accommodate this by sending only the files Symetra wants printed.
Symetra needs the ability to print and search specific data that is available for on-line viewing.
A method for generating outputs and readily reviewing the results is necessary. This includes both on-line viewing and reliable 1 to 1 test printing.
ACS must provide a process for ensuring that test runs are kept distinctly separate from production runs.
2.4 Audit Reports
Audit reports are required and must be designed and developed as part of this project. This report would contain, at a minimum, the number of prints produced, sorted by department and output type.
2.5 Proof of Mailing
The Proof of mailing consists of an affidavit page that lists some key identifying information, the documents in the packet and a signature space. The key identifiers would include the policy number. These are currently processed with the print job. These forms are completed, signed and stored for 10 years.
2.6 Printed Output Archive
Printed output is currently archived in a Symetra developed repository. The data is currently kept in the electronic print system (EPS) permanent archive forever (no limit on retention). There are approximately 6 million AFP images currently available on DASD or tape.
Data passes through either an EOS job or a department job that provides an indexed copy of the print file to the EPS system for archival. EPS archives the same file that originally goes to the printer to create the output sent to agents or customers. These archived documents are stored in APF format for use with IBM printers. The archive index key consists of up to 14 alphanumeric characters.
Reprints are currently requested through an IMS REPRINT transaction that batches up all the day’s reprint requests and prints/distributes them all at the same time during the nightly batch cycle. When a reprint is requested, the output generated is an exact duplicate of the original. The output is not “reconstructed” from form images plus data; rather, the output is a complete, intact copy of the original printed document.

Schedule 2G — Output Processing Service SOW
In addition to the IMS REPRINT transaction, access is possible through browser-based viewing of both forms and stored transaction images. These images are converted from AFP to PDF format on the fly.
It is necessary for this archived information to continue to be available for reprint and on-line viewing after switching to the new output processing systems. Online viewing should be available for a minimum of 18 months. Symetra prefers that all images be located in one repository, rather than being scattered between many. This means that these images will need to be converted from Symetra’s archive to another archive. To accomplish this, the following options have been identified:
Option 1. Convert Symetra’s archived images to ACS’ archive system. Images could be stored either by ACS or be Symetra after the appropriate software has been installed. This is Symetra’s preferred option.
Option 2. Clone Symetra’s existing archive and transfer all new archive images to it on a daily basis. This archive would be managed by a Third Party vendor for Symetra
ACS shall assist Symetra with conversion to their repository, whether residing with ACS or purchased from ACS and installed by Symetra.
Regardless of which option is chosen, the data shall remain the property of Symetra.

2.7 Forms
Forms currently exist in many formats, including electronic Documerge AFP forms, AFP page segments, and printer overlays, and also pre-printed forms including letterhead, covers, agent card stock. While IBM/AFP processes and printers are currently used, their continued use is not a requirement.
2.7.1 Documerge Forms
Documerge forms include the annuity contract forms, life insurance policy forms, annual and quarterly statements forms, and some of the correspondence forms. They are coded from mockups using WordPerfect with Print Commander and Tag Commander plug-ins.
2.7.2 Line Text Forms
Many outputs are printed directly using the IBM Print Services Facility. These processes tend to use pre-printed forms and overlays.
2.7.3 Page Segments
Page segments are graphic elements such as logos, symbols or small blocks of text that are inserted into forms. They are either coded directly onto the form or placed on the form dynamically by the application allowing substitution of different logos on the same form. There are currently 43 of these page segments being used as listed below.
Page segments are created either from mockups (usually in Word format) or from PDFs. They are created by processing through a bit converter and uploaded to the mainframe libraries using legacy developed code. They are saved in AFP format.
The PDF versions are created using the IBM PDFTOAFP conversion utility, and are used when graphic detail is more challenging and critical. Better resolution is achievable with this method.

2.7.4 Overlays
Printer overlays are currently used by many of the daily print jobs, especially those written using line text output. Their basic purpose was to allow creation of graphical elements that were previously difficult to code and maintain on forms, especially lines or boxes. Using more modern forms creation processes and tools, it should be possible to eliminate the need for these overlays. For example, one overlay is merely a box creating a border around a text page. Tax forms, billing statements and some correspondence currently use overlays. There are currently 31 overlays in use, as listed below.

2.7.7 Forms Conversion
Forms will need to be converted from the Safeco electronic forms libraries, along with page segments, overlays, and character sets. Suitable substitutions or replacements for some of these elements will be considered, especially for overlays. Forms usage is not currently directed by the existing Documerge capabilities.
    All forms are contained in either of two libraries. One contains only the american states forms (approximately 3,000), while the second contains all the other forms (approximately 2,450).
 
    The approximately 3000 american states forms are currently part of a project effort to eliminate the forms, slated to be complete by year-end 2004.
 
    We may have up to an additional 1200 forms due to the name change not being accepted in all 50 states. The details will need to be further defined.
Forms can be categorized as follows
    Deferred annuity contract related forms (~950)
 
    Individual life insurance policies — Symetra (~1,500)
 
    Individual life insurance policies — american states life (~3,000)
 
    Statements (~10)
 
    Confirmations (~5)
 
    Other correspondence (~25)

Annuity contracts include welcome letters, guarantee association, privacy and other notices, endorsements, contract summaries, state-filed contract pages, customer application, and covers.
Forms tracking is currently accomplished using an IMS database rather than the Documerge forms management functions. It is referred to as the electronic forms management (EFM), and it keeps track of which forms are to be used to complete a given contract or policy. The key to this database includes:
    Company
 
    Product
 
    Line of business
 
    State
 
    Working date (not process date)
 
    Department key (s)
This database will remain available to Symetra, but other methods for specifying and selecting the appropriate forms sets are also of interest and will be considered.
2.7.8 Forms Coding and Maintenance
Forms coding and maintenance functions are currently “outsourced” to Safeco. Symetra does not perform this function. Forms are coded using either WordPerfect with Print Commander and Tag Commander plug-ins, or using DCF (limited mainly to landscape formats). Forms are compatible with Documerge version V3.0.6 with DocuGraph installed for pie charts.
Since the workload is highly variable, ranging from little to very high when new products or re-filings are required making management of internal coding resources difficult, Symetra is interested in having these services provided.
Issues that need to be addressed include:
    Assignment of permanent contact representative and backup
 
    Defined escalation process for urgent or unresolved issues
 
    Qualification of coding staff
 
    Turn-around time, standard and expedited
 
    Cost for standard request
 
    Cost for expedited request
 
    Methods for proofing and approving forms in process
 
    Method for introducing and maintaining forms in test and production

2.8 File Transfers
     File transfer protocols for daily extract files will need to be defined and developed for reliable, efficient, secure, cost-effective transfers. Symetra is contracting with a Third Party vendor to provide hosting of its mainframe and server-based applications. Output extract files will originate from the Third Party vendor location(s), and coordination of these transfers will be managed by them on Symetra’s behalf.
     The need for local printing can be accomplished in a number of ways. The methods chosen to accomplish this will determine the destination of files returned to Symetra.
    ACS could print at their local facilities and deliver printed documents on a regular daily schedule. A consideration however is that batch outputs are not produced until later in the evening or early the next morning.
 
    Symetra could provide space for certain local, time sensitive print jobs (e.g., check printing and cut-sheet documents, etc.). The printers themselves could be owned and run by either Symetra or ACS as negotiated.
2.8.1   Outgoing Files (from Symetra/Infrastructure Third Party vendor)
    Daily batch outputs
 
    On-line or special request
 
    Test outputs
2.8.2   Incoming Files (to Symetra)
    Reports and audits
 
    Local printstream files
 
    Printed output archive files
2.8.3   Specify the Following
    Facility recommendations
 
    Recommended production transfer methods
 
    Recommended test transfer methods
 
    Data encryption requirements
 
    Data security specifications
2.8.4   File Sizes
Refer to the following list of current file extract sizes. Please note that these extract files were created for internal use and have not been compressed or designed for network transfer efficiency.

    The forms are currently created as overlays, and text is manually placed by the application (Checkfree IRS/SRS/W2). These are difficult to maintain. It is preferred that these overlays be converted to electronic forms with variable tags. Multiple versions (previous years) can then be readily retrieved and used as needed.

    Conversion off of the current content management solution (the “Content Management Solution”)
 
    Ongoing document capture Services

2.0 Content Management Strategy Goals
The following are the key high-level Service objectives Symetra expects to achieve through outsourced content management Services and this Content Management Services SOW:

Schedule 2H — Content Management Services SOW
    Ensure compliance with industry regulations through improved records management.
 
    Provide the ability to integrate with other Third-Party systems.
 
    Increase Operational Efficiencies
 
    Improve customer service to internal and external customers
 
    Increase customer retention
 
    Reduction of lost documents
 
    Reduction of paper storage requirements and the physical space that it requires
 
    Dramatic decrease in the time and labor required to search for and retrieve documents
 
    Increased work capacity and productivity (without adding employees)
 
    Allow authorized End Users to put new and changed content into the Content Management Solution without IT involvement
3.0 Current Environment
Symetra currently has 24 million images and their associated index values in FileNet’s Content Services 5.1, running on one Compaq DL380 server with 1 GIG RAM, 1.6 Terabytes of virtual memory (currently half full), and 2 RAID 5 arrays (each array has 14 drives). The property manager, storage manager and SQL v7.0 database (index metadata) are all located on the same server. The majority of the images are multi-page group IV tiffs (no annotations, no versioning). There are a small number of files in their native file format (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and PDF). The conversion process needs to be completed in as short a period of time as possible to minimize the impact on Symetra’s ability to provide its current level of customer service.
Currently, there are five areas at Symetra that use document capture services provided by the Safeco Corporation: Retirement Services, Income Annuities, Group Benefits, Agency Appointments, and Individual. There are also a number of additional departments that are interested in participating in the content management solution once it has been implemented. Currently, with the exception of one process, the document capture occurs at the backend of the workflow after all processing has been completed. The exception is in Individual, where a portion of the documents are captured upfront and exported into Individual’s Business Process Management (“BPM”) tool (Viewstar). Symetra would like to modify its internal processes to allow for upfront scanning for all workflows, thus allowing Symetra to take advantage of some of the efficiencies provided by a BPM tool. Utilizing an upfront capture model will require that the vast majority of Symetra documents be captured within 24 hours of receipt at the capture facility. At this time, there are three known exceptions to this 24 hour turnaround; the Individual New Business workflow, and the variable products in both Individual and Retirement Services, all of which require four hour turnaround times. ACS will work with Symetra to develop more detailed Service specifications.
The 2003 document capture volumes for each of the Symetra entities using the Safeco Corporate Content Management Solution are as follows:

Schedule 3
Fees
5.0 Fees For Recurring Services
5.1 Fixed Unit Pricing
Fees for recurring Services are aggregated and based upon fixed unit prices for the resource consumption or volumes identified in the applicable Baselines. The fees represent all variable and fixed cost components comprising ACS’ charges to deliver the Services. In accordance with the terms set forth in Section 6.2.3, the fees will be adjusted (subject to the Deadband Allowance described below) to the actual resource consumption/volumes in the user environment, and will take effect on the invoice for the following month. For any resource consumption/volumes that may vary from day-to-day or other periodic basis, a monthly average will be used to determine whether an adjustment based on an increase or decrease in resource consumption or volumes should be made.
The Parties have established a “Deadband Allowance” that provides for Services growth and contraction within a five percent (5%) variance above and below the Baselines. Accordingly, if there is a variation in a resource consumption or volume within the Deadband Allowance, there will be no fee adjustment.
  Example (Fixed Unit Price): If the Baseline for a Service is one hundred (100) users, then the charge will be calculated as one hundred (100) times the unit price.
 
  Example (Within Deadband Allowance): If the Baseline for a Service is one hundred (100) users, the Deadband Allowance starts at ninety-five (95) and ends at one hundred five (105). There is no adjustment of Fees for adding or subtracting users within this range.
5.2 ARC/RRC Units; Adjustments Outside of Deadband Allowance
A. ARC/RRC Units. ARC and RRC unit charges/reductions have been defined for each component of Service in the Table included in Appendix B.
For additions or deletions to resource consumption/volumes outside the Deadband Allowance, the monthly fee will increase or decrease based on the incremental resource consumption/volume from the Deadband Allowance low point (for delete) or high point (for add) times the unit price.
  Example (ARC Within Deadband Allowance): If the Baseline is one hundred (100) users, and actual volume is one hundred thirty (130) users, on the next monthly invoice, the fee is calculated as 105 * x + (130-105) * y (where “x” = fixed unit price and “y” = unit price for add units)
 
  Example (RRC Within Deadband Allowance): If the Baseline is one hundred (100) users, and actual volume is seventy-five (75) users, on the next monthly invoice, the fee is calculated as 95 * x + (75-95) * (z — x) (where “x” = fixed unit price and “z” = unit price for delete units)
B. Adjustments Outside of Deadband Allowance. If Symetra’s actual consumption/volume for a particular component of Service is twenty percent (20%) higher or lower than the applicable Baseline during any ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, the Parties agree to re-set the affected Baseline(s) and to negotiate in good faith pricing for the higher or lower Baseline(s).

SCHEDULE 5
FEE REDUCTIONS
     1. General. The Fee Reductions are designed to encourage the consistent and timely delivery of Services and value to Symetra. The Fee Reductions are not intended to compensate Symetra for damages, but rather to estimate the value of the diminished Services actually provided. The goal of Fee Reductions is not to penalize ACS, but to provide a greater incentive to achieve the Agreement’s stated objectives and focus ACS on Symetra’s critical needs.
     This Schedule outlines the circumstances under which ACS will be subject to Fee Reductions for failures to achieve the SLAs and/or Critical Milestones, and the circumstances under which ACS will be entitled to incentives. The tables attached to this Schedule shall be updated to reflect Symetra’s current initiatives and Service requirements as provided in the Agreement. Fee Reductions are not capped on a monthly basis, but shall not exceed the total Annual At-Risk Amount at any point during any Contract Year, except as outlined below in Section 3(b).
     The tables attached to this Schedule identify, among other things:
     (a) in Table 1, the SLAs and the Weighting Factors for each such SLA; and
     (b) in Table 2, the Critical Milestones for the first Contract Year and the Weighting Factors and Corrective Assessments for each such Critical Milestone.
     2. SLAs.
          a. Fee Reductions. Each SLA identifies key performance measures that will be used to evaluate ACS’ delivery of the Services. The overriding goal in developing SLAs is to support Symetra’s desire to manage ACS by monitoring and measuring performance with respect to Symetra’s most-important business requirements. The Fee Reductions for ACS’ failure to achieve any SLA shall be equal to the product of: (i) the Annual At-Risk Amount, multiplied by (ii) the Weighting Factor (set forth in the attached Table 1) for the SLA that was missed. For example, given the following assumptions: (a) the Annual Services Fees are [***] Dollars ($[***]); (b) the total Annual At-Risk Amount therefore equals [***] Dollars ($[***]) ([***] percent ([***]%) of the Annual Services Fees); and (c) an SLA failure occurs with respect to an SLA having a [***] percent ([***]%) Weighting Factor, Fee Reductions would be calculated as follows:
     
Annual At-Risk Amount
  $[***]
 
   
times
  times
 
   
SLA Weighting Factor
  [***]%
 
   
Fee Reduction
  $[***], which does not exceed the monthly Fee Reduction cap of [***] percent ([***]%) of the Annual At-Risk Amount (in this case, $[***]). If the Fee Reduction had been greater than $[***] (either individually or in the aggregate when considering all Fee Reductions for that month), such Fee Reductions would be capped at $[***].
Portions marked [***] have been omitted pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Request by Symetra Financial Corp., this information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Table of Contents

The earn-back rights described in Section 4 below would apply to the missed SLA.
          b. Priority SLAs. Symetra may classify two (2) SLAs as priority SLAs (“Priority SLAs”) and allocate up to a [***] percent ([***]%) Weighting Factor to each such Priority SLA. With ACS’ prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Symetra shall have the right to re-classify any other SLA as a Priority SLA, provided that: (a) unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, there shall never be more than two (2) Priority SLAs at any given point in time; (b) such re-classification shall become effective sixty (60) calendar days following ACS’ consent to such re-classification (if given); and (c) unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, a Priority SLA must remain as such for the entirety of the Contract Year in which it first becomes a Priority SLA. Following any such re-classification, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5 of this Schedule, Symetra shall have the right to re-allocate the SLA Weighting Factors among the SLAs.
          c. Performance Measurements. As further described in Section 2.2.2(b) of the Agreement, measurement of performance against the SLRs shall be in accordance with the SLR metrics set forth in the applicable Schedules 2 to the Agreement.
     3. Critical Milestones.
          a. Fee Reductions. Each Critical Milestone identifies a key project milestone that will be used to evaluate ACS’ delivery of the requested Services. The goal of identifying Critical Milestones is to support Symetra’s desire to manage ACS by monitoring and measuring actual performance against Symetra’s most-important business deadlines. The Fee Reductions for ACS’ failure to timely achieve any Critical Milestone shall be equal to the product of: (i) the Annual At-Risk Amount, multiplied by (ii) the Weighting Factor (set forth in the attached Table 2) for the Critical Milestone that was missed. For example, given the following assumptions: (a) the Annual Services Fees are [***] Dollars ($[***]); (b) the total Annual At-Risk Amount therefore equals [***] Dollars ($[***]) ([***] percent ([***]%) of the Annual Services Fees); and (c) a Critical Milestone failure occurs with respect to a Critical Milestone having a [***] percent ([***]%) Weighting Factor, Fee Reductions would be calculated as follows:
     
Annual At-Risk Amount
  $[***]
 
   
times
  times
 
   
Critical Milestone Weighting Factor
  [***]%
 
   
Fee Reduction
  $[***], which does not exceed the monthly Fee Reduction cap of [***] percent ([***]%) of the Annual At-Risk Amount (in this case, $[***]). If the Fee Reduction had been greater than $[***] (either individually or in the aggregate when considering all Fee Reductions for that month), such Fee Reductions would be capped at $[***].
There is no earn back option associated with Critical Milestones. Additional Corrective Assessments may apply.

Table of Contents

          b. Corrective Assessments. Upon any failure with respect to a Critical Milestone, if specified in Table 2 to this Schedule, an initial Corrective Assessment and incremental Corrective Assessments may be imposed on ACS, in addition to any other Fee Reductions available under this Schedule. Such Corrective Assessments shall not apply toward satisfaction of the Annual At-Risk Amount.
     4. Earn-Back Rights. ACS may earn back [***] percent ([***]%) of any Fee Reductions corresponding to a particular SLA if, with respect to SLAs with a monthly Measurement Interval, no failure occurs as to that SLA for a period of ninety (90) calendar days following the Measurement Interval in which the last failure to comply with that SLA occurred. If an SLA is measured in any manner other than monthly, ACS may earn back [***] percent ([***]%) of any Fee Reductions corresponding to that particular SLA if no additional failures occur as to that SLA in three (3) consecutive Measurement Intervals.
     5. Weighting Factors. The Weighting Factors shall not exceed: (a) [***] percent ([***]%) in the aggregate for SLA (including Priority SLA) Weighting Factors; (b) [***] percent ([***]%) in the aggregate for Critical Milestone Weighting Factors; (c) [***] percent ([***]%) for any individual Priority SLA; (d) [***] percent ([***]%) for any individual SLA other than a Priority SLA; or (e) [***] percent ([***]%) for any individual Critical Milestone.
     6. Limit on Monthly Fee Reductions. The Fee Reductions in any single month shall not exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Annual At-Risk Amount.
     7. Interrelated SLAs. If ACS fails to achieve an SLA and, following such failure, a Root-Cause Analysis reveals that: (a) such failure would not have occurred but for ACS’ failure to achieve a separate SLA; and (b) such SLA otherwise would have been achieved, ACS shall not be obligated to pay any Fee Reductions associated with its failure to achieve such SLA. For example, if ACS has failed to achieve the batch processing SLA and a Root-Cause Analysis reveals that: (c) the batch processing SLA would not have been missed but for ACS’ failure to achieve the end-to-end network availability SLA; and (d) the batch processing SLA otherwise would have been achieved, ACS would not be obligated to pay any Fee Reductions associated with its failure to achieve the batch processing SLA (but would be responsible for Fee Reductions associated with its failure to achieve the end-to-end network availability SLA).

ATTACHMENT A
BENCHMARKING PROCEDURES
     1. Initiation of Benchmarking Procedures. Subject to the timing restrictions set forth in Section 3 below, if Symetra believes that the Fees are not reflective of the industry’s best rates, or believes that the SLRs are not reflective of the industry’s best practices, then Symetra shall have the right to initiate the benchmarking procedures set forth in this Attachment. If Symetra wants to challenge the competitiveness of the Fees, Symetra shall deliver to ACS a written notice requesting that the Parties meet to discuss Symetra’s concerns. ACS shall meet with Symetra within fifteen (15) calendar days following ACS’ receipt of such notice from Symetra, and the Parties shall exchange any and all relevant information pertaining to the Fees that relate to the items being challenged. The Parties shall have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of such meeting to conclude such discussions. If the Parties agree as a result of such discussions to modify the terms of this Agreement, the Parties will develop and execute an amendment that reflects such agreed modifications in accordance with Section 19.7 of the Agreement. If the Parties’ discussions do not result in agreement within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then Symetra shall have the right to invoke the formal benchmarking procedures set forth below.
     2. Benchmarker; Benchmarking Costs. Any benchmarking process initiated hereunder will be conducted by an independent, industry-recognized benchmarking service provider (“Benchmarker”) designated by Symetra from among the list of acceptable Benchmarkers set forth below in this Section or otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing. ACS and Symetra agree that the following companies are acceptable to act as the Benchmarker: Gartner, Hackett, Compass and Meta Group. [***].
     3. Benchmarking Procedures. [***]. Promptly following Symetra’s initiation of the benchmarking process, the Parties shall meet with the Benchmarker for purposes of agreeing upon a detailed plan for implementing the benchmark (including timelines for ACS’ submission of data to the Benchmarker and a reasonable time period for concluding the benchmark); provided, however, that any changes to the Fees that occur as a result of the Benchmarking process shall in all instances be retroactive to the date on which Symetra first provided ACS with written notice of its desire to conduct a benchmark as provided in Section 1 above. Pursuant to the mutually agreed plan, the benchmarking process shall be designed not to disrupt delivery of the Services or the ability for the Services to be provided in accordance with the SLRs.
     The Benchmarker, with input from the Parties, will determine what factors are relevant for purposes of conducting the benchmark and shall “normalize” all data to obtain relevant comparisons for purposes of the benchmark. Normalization factors to be taken into consideration by the Benchmarker may include, without limitation: (a) geographic location of the peer companies; (b) industry differences affecting information technology costs; (c) economies of scale; and (d) workload and complexity factors (including operating environment). Other normalization factors may include, without limitation: (e) the SLRs offered; (f) duration and nature of the contractual commitment; (g) volume of services being provided; (h) contractual terms, conditions and allocation of risk; (i) the investment made by the provider in the customer’s equipment and personnel;

(j) appropriate overhead; and (k) provisions to ensure the unique factors of each deal are taken into account by the Benchmarker, including out-of-scope deliverables.
     If ACS fails to provide data or otherwise comply in a timely manner with the requirements set forth in the mutually agreed benchmark plan, ACS shall have a period of seven (7) calendar days following its receipt of written notice from Symetra regarding such failure during which to provide such data or comply with the agreed plan. [***].
     4. Review of Benchmark Results.
     (a) General. The Benchmarker shall provide a report on the results of the benchmark to both Symetra and ACS. Within fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the Benchmarker’s report, Symetra and ACS will meet to jointly review the benchmark results.
     (b) Fee Disparities. If the Benchmarker’s report concludes that the then-current aggregate Fees for any benchmarked Service is greater than the Benchmarker’s market-based average aggregate fees for such Service then: (i) if the difference between the rates payable hereunder and the rates identified by the Benchmarker (the “Rate Differential”) is [***] percent ([***]%) or less, the Fees payable hereunder shall remain unchanged; (ii) if the Rate Differential is greater than [***] percent ([***]%), then the Fees payable hereunder shall be reduced by an amount necessary to cause the Rate Differential to be [***] percent ([***]%).
     5. General Agreement of Cooperation. The Parties acknowledge that the benchmarking procedures described in this Attachment will require further definition and clarification as the Parties begin actual implementation of the benchmark. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith with one another and with the Benchmarker to reach reasonable and timely agreements on such further definition and clarification. To the extent the Benchmarker reasonably establishes that certain definitions, procedures and methodologies are widely used in information technology benchmarking, the Parties agree to generally rely on the Benchmarker’s definitions, procedures and methodologies for guidance in reaching agreement. Further, the Parties acknowledge that in reaching the final results of the benchmark, the Benchmarker will be required to exercise its professional judgment and discretion in certain matters and, assuming such judgments are within established industry practices for information technology benchmarking, the Parties will defer to the conclusions of the Benchmarker.
     ACS acknowledges that Symetra views the benchmark procedure described in this Schedule as a critical inducement to Symetra’s agreement to many of the terms of this Agreement, including the Term and termination rights provided for in the Agreement, and therefore ACS agrees that it will cooperate in good faith to accomplish the objectives of the benchmark procedure for the benefit of Symetra.
     6. Benchmark Metrics. At their highest level of classification, the Service Tower Services to be provided by ACS are the Service Towers identified in Section 2.2.1 of the Agreement. ACS will be apprised of the specific Services or sub-Services (metrics) that will be included in the scope of the benchmark sufficiently in advance of the benchmarking study so that

Symetra Transition Program
1   Introduction
    This preliminary Transition Plan is provided as Attachment C to the Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this plan is only intended to be an initial draft of the Transition Plan and will be replaced by a detailed Transition Plan in accordance with Section 2.3.1 of the Agreement.
  1.1   Detailed Transition Plan Background
      The detailed transition plan will be developed to leverage the latest technology and the best in class practices ACS uses to support all of our Business Process and Information Technology Outsourcing clients. This approach provides a cost-effective solution insuring high performance levels, mitigation of risks, and flawless execution.
 
      In the plan, we address the approach for services transition support (section 4.1 Transition Approach for Services Transition), the approach for data center’s mainframe and midrange systems (section 4.2 Transition Approach for Data Center Migrations), the approach for knowledge transfer (section 4.3 Transition Approach for Knowledge Transfer), and the approach for testing (section 4.4 Transition Approach For Testing). Additionally, we discuss the program key milestones, program schedule, and Symetra acceptance of the program’s criteria for success.
 
      As a service organization that provides timely, accurate and dependable services, ACS brings numerous benefits. ACS offers Symetra unparalleled success in delivering outsourcing services and the knowledge gained through more than 15 years of experience. From this experience, we know that Symetra satisfaction depends on the availability, efficiency, flexibility and reliability of ACS services. And satisfaction will drive every responsibility Symetra entrusts to ACS.
  1.2   Detailed Transition Plan Overview
      The transition plan, supplemental management plans, and detailed program plan schedule are critical components of a successful outsourcing agreement. The purpose of these plans — managed by the ACS Transition Management Office (TMO) — is to provide a comprehensive reference source of project plans, activities, deliverables and resources for the successful completion of the Symetra Transition Program.
 
      The transition plan acts as a road map for program and project team members. The ACS transition manager will provide leadership in the completion of tasks and resolution of issues that arise throughout the transition. A key to the plan’s success is continuous communication between all team members and active client participation. The program scope and approach are detailed within the transition plan.
 
      The roles, responsibilities, and project management processes that will be used to manage the program are defined in a supplemental set of management plans. The supplemental plans define the strategies and process sets for communications, risk, quality, schedule, and change management.

Symetra Transition Program
4   Program Approach
    The following paragraphs describe the approach that will be utilized to transition the Symetra infrastructure to ACS.
  4.1   Transition Approach for Knowledge Transfer
      Without limiting any of ACS’ knowledge transfer obligations set forth in the Agreement including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 10.3.1, the objective of the following knowledge transfer process is to provide a seamless transition of knowledge, required to operate and support the Symetra’s processing environments, from the current support organizations to the ACS support organizations.
 
      There are four major elements related to knowledge transfer:
    Initial Knowledge Transfer
 
    Follow-up Knowledge Transfer
 
    Interface Process Development
 
    Operations Extended Site Visit
  4.1.1   Initial Knowledge Transfer
      At the kickoff of the transition project, the ACS transition team is established. Information from due diligence and the contract is “transitioned” to the new team members, and a kickoff meeting is held in which all team members are informed of the latest details of the transition project.
 
      ACS team members, representing the involved functional areas, meet with their counterparts at Symetra and/or Safeco via site visits or conference calls in order to:
    Validate the transition, implementation, and migration approaches
 
    Complete detailed design to the level required for initial procurement
 
    Prepare to assume operational responsibility
      The ACS transition manager works with Symetra’s transition manager to set up the initial knowledge transfer meetings. This includes establishing the scope, timing, location, and participants for the required breakout sessions. During this sub-phase, ACS requires input from Symetra and/or Safeco Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in the following areas:

Symetra Transition Program
    Application and network interfaces (internal and external)
 
    Maintenance windows
 
    Outage tolerances
  4.1.2   Follow-Up Knowledge Transfer
 
      ACS works with Symetra and/or Safeco to establish access rights and preliminary connectivity to Symetra system. This access is used to allow ACS to further its data collection activities without directly impacting Symetra or Safeco personnel. The ACS Project Manager works with the Symetra Transition Coordinator to determine the “ground rules” for access and to determine if there are interim means (e.g. web, dial-up) to access the systems. Once an agreement is reached, the ACS Data Security Team identifies access requirements for ACS team members and submits formal requests. Symetra and/or Safeco then works with ACS to establish connectivity and process the access requests.
 
      After the initial knowledge transfer activities, further interaction between ACS team members and their Symetra and/or Safeco counterparts is conducted to finalize and validate the detailed design for each transition, implementation, and migration area.
 
      The knowledge transfer process is strengthened as the ACS project team begins to put the information to use. For the technical groups, this involves building and testing the new system and networking environments at ACS. For operations groups, this involves setting up and rehearsing operations procedures such as system start-up, shutdown, and monitoring.
  4.1.3   Interface Process Development
 
      During the knowledge transfer process, ACS team members collect process requirements from their meetings with Symetra personnel. These requirements are then merged with ACS core processes to create new interface processes and procedures. In a typical transition, interface processes are developed, at a minimum, for problem management, change management, and service requests. The ACS Service Delivery Manager spearheads the development of interface processes. Technical and operational teams also provide significant input into this activity. Major tasks include the following:
ACS team members collect requirements.
    An interface process model is developed and reviewed with involved Symetra personnel.
 
    ACS updates the process model based on Symetra’s input.

    The interface model is again reviewed with and presented for approval by involved Symetra personnel.
 
    ACS rolls out the final approved model to ACS personnel.
 
    Symetra rolls out the final approved model to Symetra personnel.
  4.1.4   Operations Extended Site Visits
 
      Four to six weeks prior to the start of cutovers, ACS personnel participate in extended site visits in order to obtain hands-on experience while working side-by-side with their Symetra and/or Safeco counterparts.
4.2   Transition Approach for Services Transition
 
    The following paragraphs describe the service transition project life cycle and the approach for the seven projects that comprise the service transition portion of the Symetra transition program:
    Help Desk Transition
 
    Remedy Implementation
 
    Security Transition
 
    End User Computing Transition

4.3   Transition Approach for Data Center Migrations
 
    For all platforms, the transition approach incorporates a series of network and application tests to ensure a seamless migration. See section 4.4 (Transition Approach for Testing) for a detailed description of the testing approach.
 
    The following paragraphs describe the data center migration project life cycle and the approach for data center migration portion of the Symetra transition program:
  4.3.1   Project Life Cycle for Data Center Migration Projects
 
      ACS employs a standard system development & migration approach to each defined discipline within the transition. The following provides a general description of the approach.
 
      Knowledge Transfer
      See Section 4.1 for a detailed description of Knowledge Transfer.
      Design and Procurement
      During knowledge transfer, ACS will collect information that is required to finalize the system configuration and network design. Final detailed specifications are developed for hardware, software, and network circuits/equipment. ACS then initiates the procurement process for the required resources.
      Construct
      For Symetra, ACS will install similarly configured hardware in the NWSC. This approach eliminates the need to physically move any hardware during the actual cutover and provides for easy fallback in the event of a cutover problem.
 
      Data Copies
 
      Per standard process, ACS will make four full copies of the system for systems operated at the RDC. The first copy establishes a base for initial customization, network unit testing, and application unit testing. The second copy is a data refresh to facilitate integrated application/network testing. The third copy occurs at the dry run, and the fourth copy occurs at the hot cut.
 
      For systems being moved by tape copy, all processing must be stopped while the copies occur in order to ensure data integrity.
 
      Customization and Start-Up of Systems

Table of Contents

Symetra Transition Program
      Once the new hardware is installed at ACS and the first data copy is completed, the customization process begins. Minimal changes will be made to the systems software environment. The following paragraphs describe typical activities for the mainframe and open systems environments.
 
      Mainframe
 
      The migration team will establish the ACS internal systems integration processes, apply the necessary software maintenance upgrades and authorization pass-codes, set up the internal automation and systems support processes, and install additional systems utilities.
 
      The Migration Team will make no changes to the applications environment. All logical definitions remain the same, and all systems software products should function the same. ACS will not add new versions, releases or maintenance to the environment without Symetra’s prior approval.
 
      Wintel Systems
 
      Operating Systems — ACS will perform a fresh OS installation of the current OS on all servers unless a change is specifically requested by Symetra, designated by the hardware vendor, or specific application vendor for supportability reasons.
 
      In most cases, the approach for the Wintel environment will be fresh application installs using vendor supplied media or downloadable files from their web sites. The configuration and customization of these and other products will be performed cooperatively between ACS and Symetra.
 
      Exceptions to the product installation rule are when Symetra engages vendor supplied professional services or when the entire system image of the source server can be moved to the target server. Symetra will be responsible for overseeing efforts related to vendor assistance and engage ACS on an as needed basis to address environmental or operating system requirements.
 
      Testing
 
      A comprehensive testing methodology is executed to verify the transition process is sound and the systems and network function properly. This includes unit testing for network and application components, integrated application/network testing, and a dry run that is a dress rehearsal of the final cutover. For more information, refer to the Section 4.4 (Transition Approach for Testing).
 
      Prior to the Dry Run, a “freeze” for discretionary changes is required to ensure that the systems are stabilized for the cutover. This “freeze” is in

      effect beginning one week before the “dry run” and extends one week after the “hot cut”.
      Implement
      The Hot Cut is the final move (cutover) of the Symetra processing environment to ACS. The general scenario for the Hot Cut is as follows:
    Quiesce systems at RDC
 
    For tape copy:
  Ø   Perform disk-to-tape copies at RDC
 
  Ø   Transport copy tapes to ACS
 
  Ø   Perform tape-to-disk restores at ACS
    Cut network over to ACS
 
    Transport tape library to ACS
 
    Perform system customization at ACS
 
    Perform Customer Application Acceptance Test
 
    Make “go” decision
 
    Start production processing at ACS
 
    Transport off-site tapes to ACS vault
      ACS will develop the master cutover plan and manage the move. Symetra is responsible for developing and executing application test scripts. This event will require participation from ACS technical, operations, and network groups; Safeco technical, operations, network, and Symetra application groups; and a select group of business users.
 
      Fallback
 
      In the event that a catastrophic problem is encountered at the Hot Cut, the transition approach employed by ACS allows for a controlled fallback to Symetra original systems at RDC. As part of developing the cutover plan and script, ACS also develops a fallback plan based on potential “showstoppers” that are pre-identified by ACS and Symetra. The following paragraphs highlight key aspects of ACS’ fallback approach.
 
      ACS works with Symetra to develop an Acceptance Test that is executed at the final Hot Cut. The Acceptance Test checks the validity of the “just-moved” systems to ensure that all business-critical functions are working

      properly prior to making a “go” decision and starting production processing at ACS.
      If a major problem surfaces, ACS, along with its supporting vendors, works to resolve the problem within the pre-designated outage window. If the issue cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of Symetra, the fallback plan is implemented. Since the original systems have not been dismantled, the fallback plan is to point the network back to the original systems and restart the production applications. This is done with little or no loss of data.
 
      Regarding the tape library, ACS works with Symetra prior to the Hot Cut to identify if there are any critical master tapes that need to be copied by Safeco prior to the cutover. In the event that fallback is required, the copies will remain at the original data center and will be used until the tape library can be returned.
 
      If problems are encountered after production processing is started in the new processing environment, ACS, with its supporting vendors and Symetra, works to resolve the issues and move forward on the systems at ACS.
 
      Following a “go” decision based on successful testing and approval, the implemented solution is put into production.
 
      During post implementation there is a defined “critical care” period where all activities associated with the implemented solution are closely monitored and issues or incidents are addressed by the transition team. Once this “critical care” period is over, incident management will be addressed by the defined operational support organization.

  4.3.3   Network
  4.3.3.1   Managed Network Services
 
      ACS will design a network infrastructure to support the mainframe and server migration from the Safeco Redmond data center (RDC), and applicable remote sites, to the ACS NWSC in Hillsboro. The appropriate network infrastructure will be built for the systems that will be housed in the NWSC and at Symetra headquarters in Bellevue, Washington. There will be enough bandwidth installed to support remote access to the servers and mainframe. Network connectivity will take approximately 90 days to install from contract sign date. At that time, the remote sites can be configured and tested on the network which will take approximately 30 days. The voice strategy will consist of implementing a new Avaya PBX solution at the Bellevue, Washington facility, and of managing the existing Avaya switches in six sites and Centrex switches in two sites.
 
      Upon contract signing, ACS will plan and engineer the installation and establishment of circuit connectivity between the RDC and the NWSC that will be used to facilitate the migration activities. This also will allow the RDC and the NWSC to access the existing Safeco-provided Symetra network as required to support the business.
 
      As each additional circuit and site is turned up, associated network management services will be installed, configured and made available at the ACS ECC in the Dallas data center-with visibility from the NWSC-to ensure visibility and manageability. After new service has been established at all sites, existing connections will no longer be required and ACS will submit a request to Symetra to disconnect the circuit. This work will be performed in a coordinated and seamless fashion, ensuring an invisible transition from the existing network to the new network with no impact on Symetra users, customers or affiliates.
 
      As this is a Greenfield network implementation, ACS will manage the acquisition, configuration and staging of new network equipment for deployment to all applicable Symetra sites. ACS will perform the necessary

      discovery on the current network state as part of the network engineering transition planning. Network engineering will take into account IP addressing, summarization, application loading, security requirements and traffic patterns. ACS network engineering will ensure that application access is not impacted during the transition of network by performing a traffic analysis of all applications to ensure that application interdependencies are fully understood before services are migrated from the RDC to the NWSC.
 
      Our transition planning for voice services focuses on implementing standard management practices for change, problem and request management. ACS will establish functional personnel responsibility matrices to identify primary support for locations and equipment. Support queues will be created in ACS Remedy for all Symetra-related problem tickets, changes and requests. We will establish regular meetings between ACS support personnel, vendors and Symetra personnel as appropriate. A daily, weekly and monthly task list will be identified per location with responsibilities clearly defined and assigned. The first 60 days will focus on evaluating the state of the system and process documentation. ACS will identify all required information and document all systems, processes and lacking information. On-call responsibilities will be established and their respective escalation procedures will be documented.
  4.3.3.2   VPN Transition
TBD
  4.3.3.3   Enterprise Command Center
 
      A follow the sun approach will be used to provide Enterprise Command Center (ECC) services. The ECC’s will be located in Dallas and <ECC loc #2>. Data network connectivity from the NWSC to the ECC locations will be provided by production circuits between the three locations.
 
      Beginning with Network Test 2, ACS will begin monitoring any ACS-provisioned circuit. ACS will use HP OpenView at the NWSC to manage and monitor the Symetra network including the Symetra LAN and WAN. NetCool will be used as a “manager of managers” to collect data from all infrastructure monitoring systems, including Openview. The NetCool system will communicate with Dallas and <ECC loc #2> NetCool systems so that management and monitoring may be provided by the ACS Enterprise Command Centers in each location.

As servers are placed into production in the NWSC data center, the ECC will begin active monitoring for those servers.
4.3.4 Mainframe
Overview
The mainframe environment will be migrated to the NWSC using a “system lift and drop” methodology. This methodology entails copying (“lift”) the operating system, applications, and user data currently in production at the RDC and restoring (“drop”) them at the NWSC. This approach ensures that the new mainframe environment is a mirror image of the production environment, with little or no change introduced during the transition. The data migration strategy will be a tape migration. ACS will set up a VTS/ATL device in the Safeco L&I data center and perform a data migration to this device in order to create the tapes that will be restored at the NWSC. The mainframe migration to NWSC will take approximately 120 days from contract sign date.
Methodology
Disk Storage System
ACS will install an IBM 2105 Shark DASD to handle Symetra storage requirements at our NWSC. ACS will migrate the Symetra mainframe workload to our NWSC in April 2005 using a tape dump/restore migration, or system lift. This is a proven methodology and will minimize cost while retaining data integrity. This methodology also allows for dry runs (tests) to finely tune the process and to facilitate user acceptance testing
Tape Storage System
To facilitate the migration to our NWSC, ACS also will install a temporary tape solution at the existing Safeco RDC.
The hardware will be installed within 60 days of contract signing. This equipment will consist of an IBM 3494 ATL and a VTS that will allow transition of Symetra’s tape processing from the existing STK VSM and 9840 solution.
Modifications to the existing ACS routines on the Safeco systems will be made, in cooperation with the Safeco systems staff, that will route all Symetra tape activity to the transition ATL/VTS equipment.
Critical tape data stored on existing STK tapes will be copied to the 3590 media using the IBM 3590 drives.

Symetra Transition Program
All existing 3480 and 3490 tape volumes will be copied to the VTS, consolidating all Symetra tape processing onto the new IBM technology.
4.3.5 Wintel
Overview
The majority of the Wintel server environment will be migrated to the NWSC. The servers located in the remote offices will be replaced with ACS owned hardware that is comparable or better than the technology currently in place today. ACS will create a Wintel server environment that will allow for migration of the applications with little or no application changes. Hardware configurations for the new servers will closely match the existing servers; enabling us to simply back-up the current server operating system, applications, and user data and restoring them on the new servers. Servers that are currently SAN attached will continue to be SAN attached when replicated at the NWSC. Servers that currently have internal storage will be converted to SAN-attached during the migration. The migration will be a multi-phased approach that takes approximately 240 days from contract sign to implement. The number of phases and exact timing for each server migration will be determined during the Initial Knowledge Transfer phase as additional information is provided detailing server/application dependencies and data transfer requirements. The preliminary plan is to:
    Migrate key infrastructure related applications such as Exchange and DNS first
 
    Establish lab-based application testing area for application and data segregation
 
    Migrate lab-tested applications and servers next
 
    Migrate non-critical path servers and applications next

Once possible improvements are identified they have to be weighed and understood how they will affect the rest of the process.
10. Change Management Process: Establish and maintain procedure.
4.4 Transition Approach for Testing
ACS employs a comprehensive proven testing methodology aimed at ensuring that the transition process is accurate and that the new systems and network environments will function properly. The methodology is based on the key elements covered in the following subsections.
4.4.1 Testing Integration and Refinement
ACS utilizes a building-block approach to testing. System components, network components, application components, and interfaces are all tested both individually and then in an integrated fashion. Once the cloned systems are installed at ACS, the technical support staffs will perform basic systems testing to ensure that the systems are up and functional. As network circuits and equipment are installed, the network staff performs standalone testing with providers. At the point these two areas are ready, three network tests are conducted in order to test connectivity to the systems. In addition, application unit testing commences using a small subset of the network. These tests are followed by two integrated application/network tests. The Dry Run test that follows is a simulation of the final Hot Cut and involves thorough integrated testing.
The integrated test plan is also known as an “acceptance test”. The acceptance test is executed at both integrated tests, at the Dry Run, and again at the Hot Cut. It is rehearsed and refined so that by the Hot Cut, its execution becomes second nature.
Throughout the transition period, migration processes are repeated, integrated, and refined. The purpose of this approach is to build a level of proficiency and confidence in the transition team so that by the time the Hot Cut occurs, execution of the process is timely and accurate.
4.4.2 Mirrored Systems and Functional Testing
As indicated previously, ACS will install a “mirrored” hardware configuration on the floor at the NWSC. Disk storage will then be copied and restored “as is” on a volume-per-volume basis. Although the volumes will be restored to a new hardware configuration, the new systems and their applications environments will logically be identical to the original systems. Changes will be limited to configuration-related items such as hardware configuration, network connectivity, software authorization codes.
Confidential Information

Page 30


Table of Contents

Symetra Transition Program
In light of this methodology, ACS recommends that the Symetra acceptance test plan be based on a “functional interface testing” approach. This means that Symetra test scripts focus on testing the interfaces of components of the systems and network, particularly those that have changed. Selecting small functional subsets of key applications that exercise targeted systems and network components is an excellent way to do this.
It is necessary to test the following areas:
    Network connectivity – Test inter-platform and intra-platform connectivity; inter-site and intra-site connectivity; connectivity with workstations, network printers, gateways, and other unique devices; transmissions (FTP, EDI, file transfer), dial-up, Internet access, connectivity with business partners, access to value-added networks. It is essential that all connectivity and interfaces be tested.
 
    Application development and support environment – Test access to and function of operating software, utilities, development tools, test-to-production promotion procedures, and QA environments
 
    Applications – Test access to and function of representative sequences of transactions, batch jobs, and cross-platform application interfaces.
ACS will work with Symetra to identify key interfaces, system components, and application components that are highly critical candidates for testing.
4.4.3 Test Plans
Symetra will be responsible for developing and executing its acceptance test plans in accordance with the transition methodology defined by ACS and approved by Symetra. The following defines the two types of test plans that are applicable.
The Application Unit Test is conducted over a window of approximately two to three weeks. This type of testing can be done mid-week via TCP/IP access to the cloned system(s) at ACS. The test plan should contain scripts that Symetra personnel can execute in order to ensure proper function of system and application components as well as interfaces to other test systems.
The Acceptance Test Plan is executed four times: at the two Integrated Applications / Network Tests, at the Dry Run, and at the Hot Cut. This plan is comprised of a subset of the functional test scripts. These scripts define “quick hit” tests that can be performed in a short period to verify that the systems have been successfully built and the network has been successfully pointed to ACS. At the Hot Cut, the Acceptance Test Plan execution is the final check to ensure that the environment is healthy prior to a “Go / No-Go” decision. It is essential that this test plan be executed more than once to insure that test scripts are functioning as expected prior to beginning production processing at the ACS data center.

4.4.4 Testing Limitations
When testing on the new systems at ACS, there are some limitations that must be considered. Some of these limitations are as follows:
    Minimal scratch tapes are available at ACS
 
    No production input tapes are available at ACS
 
    No archived datasets can be recalled from tape
 
    Disk data is aged to the prior copy date
 
    Passwords are aged to the prior copy date
In some cases, special arrangements can be made to overcome certain limitations, such as shipping a copy of a specific production tape dataset to ACS. ACS will work with Symetra to support testing needs as required.
4.4.5 Acceptance Criteria
Based on Symetra knowledge of its systems and applications, it is anticipated that the Symetra Team will develop test scripts for business-critical functions along with acceptance criteria (expected results) for these tests. ACS will provide input to Symetra on critical technical functions that are candidates for acceptance testing.
Final acceptance is based on successful test of each critical function. If a test fails, due to issues with performance, integrity, or functionality, ACS will work with Symetra to resolve the problem. It is essential that each critical function be successfully tested prior to the “Go / No-Go” decision. During the development of the Symetra Acceptance Test Plan, it is expected that Symetra will identify which potential functional failures are “showstoppers” and communicate these to ACS.
4.4.6 Testing Events
This subsection identifies the various testing events that occur during the transition period.
4.4.6.1 ACS Systems Testing
Once the mirrored systems at ACS have been started and customized, the technical support and operations staffs will test them. This testing ensures that all system components are starting properly and functioning to proper technical specifications. ACS Technical Support and Operations personnel will be responsible for developing and executing the test plans.

4.4.6.2 1st Network Test
The purpose of this test is to initially verify connectivity to the new systems at ACS and to begin testing network cutover process. This type of test usually includes base connectivity checks such as bringing lines and devices active, establishing sessions between peers, “pinging” devices, logging onto a system, and executing simple data transmissions.
At the 1st Network Test, a key subset of interfaces is tested in order to ensure that all primary and redundant paths through the network are working properly. Most activities involve testing access from Symetra-only sites.
ACS will develop the master test script and manage the test. The estimated test window is approximately eight hours. Some network devices will be impacted for the time that they are pointed to the ACS systems for testing.
4.4.6.3 2nd Network Test
Additional interfaces are tested for connectivity to the new systems at ACS. Any items that failed during the 1st Network Test are re-tested. Depth and complexity may be added to tests. Testing of the network cutover process is continued. Some initial testing with business partners and non-Symetra sites is introduced.
ACS will develop the master test script and manage the test. Participation from Symetra application/business groups may be required for testing with third parties. It is estimated that the test window will be approximately eight hours. Some network devices will be impacted for the time that they are pointed to the systems at ACS for testing.
4.4.6.4 3rd Network Test
Remaining interfaces are tested for connectivity. Any items that failed during the 2nd Network Test are re-tested. More in-depth functional testing may be introduced (application transaction/transmission sequences). The process to cut over the network is further refined. Testing with business partners continues.
ACS will develop the master test script and manage the test. Participation from Symetra application/business groups may be required for testing with third parties. Again, it is estimated that the test window will be approximately eight hours. Some network devices will be impacted for the time that they are pointed to the systems at ACS for testing.

Symetra Transition Program
4.4.6.5 Application Unit Testing
ACS recommends that the Symetra acceptance test plan be based on a “functional interface testing” approach for systems/ application testing. This type of testing focuses on system components that have changed and focuses on small subsets of key applications. Unit testing is done to ensure proper function of system and application components such as hardware devices, systems software, key application transactions and jobs, printing, interfaces to other systems, and key parts of the application development environment. This testing will occur during the workweek.
A maximum of a three week window will be established during which Customer systems/applications personnel can log on to the new systems in ACS in order to execute their test scripts. ACS will establish coordination procedures for handling test set-ups and problem tracking. Symetra personnel are responsible for developing and executing test scripts. There will be no disruption of production processing.
4.4.6.6 1st Integrated Application / Network Test
This activity integrates application testing along with network testing. Its primary purposes are to test network connectivity, to test the network cutover process, and to rehearse the acceptance test that will be used again at the Dry Run and Hot Cut. As mentioned previously, the acceptance test is one that can be performed in a short period to verify that the systems have been successfully built and that the network has been successfully pointed ACS prior to a “Go” decision.
ACS will develop the overall execution plan. Symetra is responsible for developing and executing the Symetra acceptance test plan. This event will require participation from ACS technical, operations, and network groups; Symetra technical, operations, network, and applications groups; and possibly a select group of business users.
It is estimated that the test window will be approximately eight hours. During this time, network components will be pointed to ACS and be unavailable for production.
4.4.6.7 2nd Integrated Application / Network Test
This activity is similar to the 1st Integrated Test. Its primary purposes are to rehearse the acceptance test that will be used again at the Dry Run and Hot Cut, re-test any items that failed during the 1st Integrated Test, and add new test items that were excluded at the 1st Integrated Test.
ACS will develop the overall execution plan. Symetra is responsible for developing and executing the Symetra acceptance test plan. This event will require participation from ACS technical, operations, and network

groups; Symetra technical, operations, network, and applications groups; and possibly a select group of business users.
It is estimated that the test window will be approximately eight hours. During this time, network components will be pointed to ACS and be unavailable for production.
4.4.6.8 Dry Run
The Dry Run is a rehearsal of the Hot Cut. The objective is to simulate, as closely as possible, the final cutover with the given exception that physical moves do not occur (tape library, etc.). The general plan is as follows:
    Quiesce systems at Symetra
 
    For tape copy:
 
      Perform disk-to-tape copies at Symetra
 
      Transport copy tapes to ACS
 
      Perform tape-to-disk restores at ACS
 
    Cut network over to ACS
 
    Transport tape library to ACS
 
    Perform system customization at ACS
 
    Perform Customer Application Acceptance Test
 
    Make “go” decision
 
    Start production processing at ACS
 
    Transport off-site tapes to ACS vault
ACS will develop the overall execution plan. Symetra is responsible for developing and executing the Symetra acceptance test plan. This event will require participation from ACS technical, operations, and network groups; Symetra technical, operations, network, and applications groups; and possibly a select group of business users.
When using a tape copy approach, production system outages at will be limited to TBD hours plus tape transport time plus the amount of test time defined by Symetra.
During this time, network components will be pointed to ACS and be unavailable for production.

PROVIDER’S TECHNOLOGY REFRESH REQUIREMENTS
The Parties shall meet upon Symetra’s reasonable request to discuss Symetra’s refresh requirements.
Symetra will be responsible for hardware necessary to provide the Services purchased throughout the Term of the Agreement.
ACS’ refresh recommendations are as follows:
    Server refresh — Cycle of one hundred percent (100%) of candidate servers between thirty-six (36) and forty-eight (48) months post-Handover Date, with subsequent server refreshes every thirty-six (36) to forty-eight (48) months thereafter. This strategy would ensure that no server extends beyond a forty-eight (48)-month refresh window.
 
    Mainframe and peripherals thirty-six (36) month refresh cycle, only for systems or equipment requiring refresh at that time, or for equipment approaching manufacturer EOL at that time.
 
    Router and data communications equipment — Refresh no less than every forty-eight (48) months, or as required to provide Services and meet the SLRs.
 
    Telecommunications equipment (e.g., telephone switch and handsets) — Refresh only as required to support new feature sets or discontinued equipment, estimated between sixty (60) and seventy-two (72) months.

ATTACHMENT K
HIPAA TERMS
The Agreement contemplates that: (1) ACS will perform certain services for the benefit of Symetra and/or certain of its Affiliates; and (2) in connection therewith, ACS may have access to certain Protected Health Information “PHI”) collected, maintained, transmitted or otherwise used by Symetra and/or one (1) or more Symetra Affiliates (whether in their capacity as a Covered Entity or as a Business Associate of another Covered Entity) (collectively referred to herein as “Symetra PHI”).
1. HIPAA Privacy Regulations.
(a) General. ACS acknowledges that it is a Business Associate or sub-Business Associate of Symetra for purposes of HIPAA’s Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (as the same may have been and/or may be amended from time-to-time, the “Privacy Regulations”). ACS shall comply with the provisions set forth in Addendum 1 to this Attachment K with respect to Symetra PHI.
(b) Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information. ACS shall Use and Disclose Symetra PHI only as minimally necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreement and/or as otherwise authorized by Symetra in writing.
(c) Failure to Comply with HIPAA Obligations.
     (i) Mitigation Obligation. If ACS has violated any of its obligations under this Section 1, at its sole cost and expense, ACS immediately shall take commercially reasonably steps to mitigate the harmful effects of such violation, if any.
     (ii) Opportunity to Cure; Termination. If ACS notifies Symetra, or Symetra otherwise has reason to believe, that ACS has violated a material term of any of the requirements set forth in this Section 1, and a cure of such violation is possible, not later than five (5) calendar days following Symetra’s request, the Parties shall meet (in person or by telephone, as requested by Symetra) to discuss Symetra’s concerns. Following such meeting, ACS shall advise Symetra whether it agrees or disagrees with Symetra’s concerns. If ACS agrees with Symetra’s concerns, not later than five (5) calendar days after such meeting, ACS shall propose to Symetra a plan for addressing Symetra’s concerns (the “Corrective Plan”) and, if necessary, the Parties thereafter shall engage in good faith discussions in an effort to reach agreement on the terms of the Corrective Plan. If ACS materially fails to implement the terms of the mutually agreed Corrective Plan, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to Symetra, upon written notice to ACS, Symetra shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and any or all country-specific agreements either in their entirety or as they relate to Symetra only. If ACS disagrees with Symetra’s concerns, then the Parties will engage in good faith discussions at successively higher levels of management until the Problem has been resolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms of the Corrective Plan or otherwise

- 31 -


Table of Contents

are unable to reach agreement with respect to Symetra’s concerns within sixty (60) calendar days following Symetra’s initial request for a meeting as described above, and Symetra has determined that ACS has violated a material term of any of its HIPAA-related obligations hereunder, then, upon written notice to ACS, Symetra shall have the right to terminate, the Agreement and any or all country-specific agreements either in their entirety or as they relate to Symetra only.
     (iii) No Opportunity to Cure; Termination. If ACS notifies Symetra, or Symetra otherwise has reason to believe, that ACS has violated a material term of any of the requirements set forth in this Section 1 and a cure of such violation is not possible, Symetra shall have the right upon written notice to ACS to terminate the Agreement and any or all country-specific agreements either in their entirety or as they relate to Symetra only.
     (iv) Effect of Termination. Any termination the Agreement and/or any country-specific agreements as provided herein shall be without liability or further obligation on the part of Symetra to ACS, except for those provisions that would, by their nature, survive any termination of the Agreement and/or any country-specific agreement.
(d) State Law Requirements. Any Use or Disclosure of Symetra PHI by ACS shall be made in accordance with More Stringent state laws and regulations and as ACS may be specifically instructed by Symetra; provided, however, that ACS shall continue to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Attachment K to the extent such terms and conditions do not conflict with the applicable laws and regulations of such states.
(e) Audit Rights. Upon Symetra’s request, but no more often than once annually except: (a) as necessary for Symetra to respond to any regulatory requirement or inquiry; or (b) as deemed reasonably necessary by Symetra as a result of Symetra’s good faith belief that ACS has breached any of its obligations under this Attachment K, and not later than ten (10) calendar days following Symetra’s request (unless the terms of subsection (a) apply, in which case such time period shall be five (5) calendar days following Symetra’s request), ACS shall make available to Symetra its internal practices, books and records relating to the Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Information received from, or created or received by ACS on behalf of, Symetra in order to permit Symetra to confirm and/or investigate ACS’ compliance with its HIPAA-related obligations (including any obligations under applicable state laws and regulations) hereunder. ACS shall cooperate with Symetra in all reasonable respects in connection with such audits.
(f) ACS’ Employees, Agents, Representatives and Subcontractors. ACS represents and warrants that ACS’ employees, agents and subcontractors who will or may potentially have access to Symetra PHI will have been provided with general HIPAA-related training and education as well as specific knowledge of ACS’ HIPAA-related responsibilities and contractual requirements to Symetra (including applicable state laws and regulations to the extent that ACS has received written instructions from Symetra concerning More Stringent state laws and regulations), in each case prior to being allowed to have access to Symetra PHI. At Symetra’s request, ACS will provide Symetra with all information reasonably requested by Symetra regarding the training provided to those ACS employees, agents and subcontractors who will or potentially may have access to Symetra PHI. ACS further represents and warrants to Symetra that it will impose appropriate sanctions on any employee and will take appropriate action under its contract with

- 32 -


Table of Contents

any agent and/or Subcontractor of ACS if such Person violates any of ACS’ HIPAA-related obligations under this Attachment K, and agrees, at Symetra’s request if the violation is egregious or recurring in nature, to prevent any such employee, agent and/or Subcontractor from having any further access to Symetra PHI.
(g) Aggregate Data. Without the express prior written consent of Symetra, ACS shall not have the right to engage in Data Aggregation activities with respect to Symetra’s data, whether or not such data constitutes Symetra PHI.
(h) Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in the opening paragraph, in this Section 1, in Addendum 1 and/or Addendum 2 but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement and/or in the Privacy Regulations, as applicable. If a capitalized term is defined in both the Agreement and in the Privacy Regulations, the definition in the Privacy Regulations shall apply.
(i) Interpretation. Any ambiguity in any term or condition of the Agreement, including this Attachment (including Addenda 1 and 2), or any inconsistency between any term or condition of the Agreement and this Attachment (including Addenda 1 and 2), shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that permits Symetra to comply with the Privacy Regulations.
2. HIPAA Electronic Transactions Standards.
(a) General. If ACS agrees to conduct on behalf of Symetra all or part of any Transaction covered under HIPAA’s Standards for Electronic Transactions (as the same may have been and/or may be amended from time-to-time, the “Electronic Transactions Regulations”), then ACS shall conduct, and cause its employees, agents and subcontractors to conduct, such Transactions as standard transactions under the Electronic Transactions Standards.
(b) Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Section 2 but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement and/or the Electronic Transactions Regulations, as applicable. If a capitalized term is defined in both the Agreement and in the Electronic Transactions Regulations, the definition in the Electronic Transactions Regulations shall apply.
3. HIPAA Security Regulations. Beginning on April 20, 2005, Symetra and ACS will be required to comply with HIPAA’s security standards, which were issued in their final form on February 20, 2003 (as the same may have been and/or may be amended from time to time, the “Security Regulations”). In connection therewith, as of that compliance date ACS shall: (a) have implemented safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the electronic PHI that it creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of Symetra; (b) ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom ACS provides this information agrees to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards; (c) report to Symetra any security incident of which it becomes aware; and (d) make ACS’ policies and procedures, and documentation required by the Security Regulations relating to such safeguards, available to the Secretary for purposes of determining Symetra’s compliance with the Security Regulations. Without limiting any other rights and remedies that may then be available to Symetra, Symetra shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and any or all country-specific

- 33 -


Table of Contents

agreements, either in their entirety or as they relate to Symetra only, immediately and without penalty upon written notice by Symetra to ACS if Symetra determines that ACS has violated a material term of this Section.
4. Changes or Modifications to HIPAA and/or HIPAA Regulations. If, following the Effective Date, HIPAA and/or any of the HIPAA regulations are modified and/or additional regulations are issued pursuant to HIPAA (each, a “Modification”) and, as a result, Symetra determines that modifications to the terms of the Agreement are required in order for Symetra to comply with such Modification(s) (including by way of example and not of limitation, if additional provisions are required to be included in agreements between Covered Entities and Business Associates), promptly following Symetra’s request, the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations regarding any modifications to the terms of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate. If the Parties are unable to agree on any such modifications to the terms of the Agreement following such good faith negotiations, which negotiations shall not exceed sixty (60) calendar days from the date of Symetra’s request for negotiations unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, then following expiration of such sixty (60) calendar day period, Symetra shall have the right, at its option, to terminate the Agreement and any country-specific agreements as of a date specified in a notice of termination to ACS, which date shall be any date on or before the applicable compliance date relating to such Modification. Such termination shall be without liability or further obligation on the part of Symetra to ACS, except for those provisions that would, by their nature, survive any termination of the Agreement.
5. Indemnity for Third Party Claims. ACS shall indemnify, defend and hold Symetra and its Affiliates, as well as their respective members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, harmless from and against any and all Third-Party claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, assessments and/or other losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any failure by ACS to comply with its HIPAA-related obligations (including any similar obligations under applicable state laws and regulations to the extent that ACS has received written instructions from Symetra concerning More Stringent state laws and regulations) under this Attachment.
6. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be delivered to Symetra under this Attachment shall be delivered to the Persons identified in Section 19.6 of the Agreement and to Symetra’s Privacy Officer at the following addresses via facsimile or via overnight mail delivery:

Attn: Privacy Officer
Fax: (425) 376-6080
7. Injunctive Relief. ACS agrees that the remedies at law for any breach by it of the terms of this Attachment shall be inadequate and that monetary damages resulting from such breach are not readily measured. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by ACS of the terms of this Attachment, Symetra shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief. Nothing herein shall prohibit Symetra from pursuing any other remedies that may be available to it for

ADDENDUM 2
HIPAA REQUIREMENTS FOR ACS SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENTS
1. HIPAA Privacy Regulations.
     (a) General. Subcontractor acknowledges that it is an indirect Business Associate of Symetra and/or one of its affiliates (collectively for purposes of this Attachment, “Symetra”) for purposes of the HIPAA Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (as the same may have been and/or may be amended from time-to-time, the “Privacy Regulations”). Subcontractor shall comply with the provisions set forth in Appendix 1 to this Addendum with respect to the Protected Health Information collected, maintained, transmitted or otherwise used by Symetra (collectively referred to herein as “Symetra PHI”).
     (b) Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information. Subcontractor shall Use and Disclose Symetra PHI only as minimally necessary to perform its obligations under its agreement with ACS (the “Subcontract Agreement”) and/or as otherwise authorized in writing by ACS or Symetra.
     (c) Failure to Comply With HIPAA Obligations.
     (i) Mitigation Obligation. If Subcontractor has violated any of its obligations under this Section 1, at its sole cost and expense, Subcontractor immediately shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the harmful effects of such violation, if any.
     (ii) Opportunity to Cure; Termination. If Subcontractor notifies ACS and/or Symetra, or ACS and/or Symetra otherwise have reason to believe, that Subcontractor has violated a material term of any of the requirements set forth in this Section 1, and a cure of such violation is possible, not later than five (5) calendar days following ACS’ and/or Symetra’s request, Subcontractor, ACS and Symetra shall meet (in person or by telephone, as requested by Symetra) to discuss ACS’ and/or Symetra’s concerns. Following such meeting, Subcontractor shall advise ACS and Symetra whether it agrees or disagrees with ACS’ and/or Symetra’s concerns. If Subcontractor agrees with such concerns, not later than five (5) calendar days after such meeting, Subcontractor shall propose to ACS and Symetra a plan for addressing those concerns (the “Corrective Plan”) and, if necessary, Subcontractor, ACS and Symetra thereafter shall engage in good faith discussions in an effort to reach agreement on the terms of the Corrective Plan. If Subcontractor materially fails to implement the terms of the mutually agreed Corrective Plan, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to ACS and Symetra, ACS and/or Symetra shall have the right to terminate the Subcontract Agreement. If Subcontractor disagrees with ACS’ and/or Symetra’s concerns, then Subcontractor, ACS and Symetra shall follow the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Subcontract Agreement, if any, or if dispute resolution procedures are not specified therein, then Subcontractor, ACS and Symetra shall engage in negotiations at successively higher levels of management until the dispute has been resolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provisions or terms in the Subcontract Agreement, if Subcontractor, ACS and

Table of Contents

Symetra are unable to reach agreement on the terms of the Corrective Plan or otherwise are unable to reach agreement with respect to ACS’ and/or Symetra’s concerns within ninety (90) calendar days following the initial request for a meeting as described above, then, upon written notice to Subcontractor, ACS and/or Symetra shall have the right to terminate the Subcontract Agreement if ACS and/or Symetra have determined that Subcontractor has violated a material term of any of its HIPAA-related obligations hereunder.
     (iii) No Opportunity to Cure; Termination. If Subcontractor notifies ACS and/or Symetra, or ACS and/or Symetra otherwise have reason to believe, that Subcontractor has violated a material term of any of the requirements set forth in this Section 1, and a cure of such violation is not possible, ACS and/or Symetra shall have the right to terminate the Subcontract Agreement upon written notice to Subcontractor.
     (iv) Effect of Termination. Any termination of the Subcontract Agreement shall be without liability or further obligation on the part of ACS or Symetra to Subcontractor, except for those provisions that survive any termination of the Subcontract Agreement.
     (d) State Law Requirements. Any Use or Disclosure of Symetra PHI by Subcontractor shall be made in accordance with More Stringent state laws and regulations and as ACS may be specifically instructed by Symetra; provided, however, that Subcontractor shall continue to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Addendum 2 to the extent such terms and conditions do not conflict with the applicable laws and regulations of such states.
     (e) Audit Rights. Not later than five (5) calendar days following ACS’ or Symetra’s request, Subcontractor shall make available to ACS and Symetra its internal practices, books and records relating to the Use and Disclosure of Symetra PHI received from, or created or received by Subcontractor on behalf of Symetra (directly or indirectly), in order to permit ACS and Symetra to confirm and/or investigate Subcontractor’s compliance with its HIPAA-related obligations (including any obligations under applicable state laws and regulations) hereunder. Subcontractor shall cooperate with ACS and Symetra in all reasonable respects in connection with such audits.
     (f) Subcontractor’s Employees, Agents, Representatives and Subcontractors. Subcontractor represents and warrants to ACS and Symetra that Subcontractor’s employees, agents and subcontractors who will or potentially may have access to Symetra PHI shall have been provided with general HIPAA-related training and education as well as specific knowledge of Subcontractor’s HIPAA-related responsibilities and contractual requirements to ACS and Symetra (including applicable state laws and regulations to the extent that ACS has received written instructions from Symetra concerning More Stringent state laws and regulations), in each case prior to being allowed to have access to Symetra PHI. At ACS’ or Symetra’s request, Subcontractor shall provide ACS and Symetra with all information reasonably requested by ACS or Symetra regarding the training provided to those Subcontractor employees, agents and subcontractors who will or may potentially have access to Symetra PHI. Subcontractor further represents and warrants to ACS and Symetra that it will impose appropriate sanctions on any

- 39 -


Table of Contents

employee, and will take appropriate action under its contract with any agent and/or subcontractor of Subcontractor if such Person violates any of Subcontractor’s HIPAA-related obligations hereunder, and agrees, at ACS’ or Symetra’s request if the violation is egregious or recurring in nature, to prevent any such employee, agent and/or subcontractor from having any further access to Symetra PHI.
     (g) Aggregate Data. Without the express prior written consent of ACS and Symetra, Subcontractor shall not have the right to engage in any type of data aggregation activities with respect to Symetra’s data, whether or not such data constitutes Symetra PHI.
     (h) Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Section 1 and in Appendix 1 but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Privacy Regulations.
     (i) Interpretation. Any ambiguity or inconsistency in any term or condition of the Subcontract Agreement (including this Addendum and Appendix 1) shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that permits Symetra to comply with the Privacy Regulations.
2. HIPAA Electronic Transactions Standards.
     (a) General. If Subcontractor agrees to conduct on behalf of ACS and/or Symetra all or part of any Transaction covered under HIPAA’s Standards for Electronic Transactions (as the same may have been and/or may be amended from time-to-time, the “Electronic Transactions Regulations”), then Subcontractor shall conduct, and cause its employees, agents and subcontractors to conduct, such Transactions as standard transactions under the Electronic Transactions Standards.
     (b) Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Section 2 but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Electronic Transactions Regulations.
     3. HIPAA Security Regulations. Beginning on April 20, 2005, Symetra and ACS will be required to comply with HIPAA’s security standards, which were issued in their final form on February 20, 2003 (as the same may have been and/or may be amended from time to time, the “Security Regulations”). In connection therewith, as of that compliance date Subcontractor shall: (a) have implemented safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the electronic Symetra PHI that it creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of Symetra; (b) ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom Subcontractor provides this information agrees to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards; (c) report to Symetra any security incident of which it becomes aware; and (d) make Subcontractor’s policies and procedures, and documentation required by the Security Regulations relating to such safeguards, available to the Secretary for purposes of determining Symetra’s compliance with the Security Regulations. Without limiting any other rights and remedies that may then be available to Symetra or ACS, Symetra or ACS shall have the right to terminate the Subcontract Agreement immediately and without penalty upon written notice by Symetra or ACS to Subcontractor if either Symetra or ACS determines that Subcontractor has violated a material term of this Section.

     4. Changes or Modifications to HIPAA and/or HIPAA Regulations. If, following the date of the Subcontract Agreement, HIPAA and/or any of the HIPAA regulations are modified and/or additional regulations are issued pursuant to HIPAA (each, a “Modification”) and, as a result, Symetra or ACS determines that modifications to the terms of the Subcontract Agreement are required in order for Symetra or ACS to comply with such Modification(s) (including by way of example and not of limitation, if additional provisions are required to be included in agreements between Covered Entities and Business Associates), promptly following ACS’ or Symetra’s request, Subcontractor, ACS and Symetra shall engage in good faith negotiations regarding any modifications to the terms of the Subcontract Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate. If Subcontractor, ACS and Symetra are unable to agree on any such modifications to the terms of the Subcontract Agreement following such good faith negotiations, which negotiations shall not exceed sixty (60) calendar days from the date of ACS’ or Symetra’s request for negotiations unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, then following expiration of such sixty (60) calendar day period, ACS and/or Symetra shall have the right to terminate the Subcontract Agreement as of a date specified in a notice of termination to Subcontractor, which date shall be any date on or before the applicable compliance date relating to such Modification. Such termination shall be without liability or further obligation on the part of ACS or Symetra to Subcontractor, except for those provisions that survive any termination of the Subcontract Agreement.
     5. Third-Party Beneficiary. Symetra is acknowledged to be a direct and intended third-party beneficiary of the terms of the Subcontract Agreement.
     6. Indemnity for Third Party Claims. Subcontractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ACS, Symetra and their respective Affiliates, and all of their members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, from and against any and all Third-Party claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, assessments and/or other losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any failure by Subcontractor to comply with its HIPAA-related obligations (including any similar obligations under applicable state laws and regulations to the extent that Subcontractor has received written instructions from Symetra and/or ACS concerning More Stringent state laws and regulations) hereunder.
     7. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be delivered to ACS and/or Symetra hereunder shall be delivered to ACS and Symetra at the following addresses via facsimile or via overnight mail delivery:

     8. Injunctive Relief. Subcontractor agrees that the remedies at law for any breach by it of the terms hereof shall be inadequate and that monetary damages resulting from such breach are not readily measured. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Subcontractor of the terms hereof, ACS and/or Symetra shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief. Nothing herein shall prohibit ACS and/or Symetra from pursuing any other remedies that may be available to them individually or jointly for such breach, and the rights provided hereunder and in any section(s) of the Subcontract Agreement related to injunctive relief, if any, shall be cumulative.
     9. No Assignment or Subcontracting. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Subcontractor shall not assign, subcontract or delegate any of its obligations under the Subcontract Agreement without the prior written consent of ACS and Symetra.
