     5    F&A Master Services Agreement


This MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR FINANCE & ACCOUNTING SERVICES (this “Master Agreement”) is entered into as of September 30, 2004, 2004, by and between Federal-Mogul Parent and IBM Parent. Federal-Mogul Parent and IBM Parent agree that the following terms and conditions shall apply to the relationship between Federal-Mogul and IBM and to the provision of Services by each applicable IBM Local Entity pursuant to the applicable Country Agreement, to the extent such terms and conditions are incorporated therein by reference, in consideration of certain payments to be made by each applicable Federal-Mogul Local Entity pursuant to such applicable Country Agreement. As used in this Master Agreement and the applicable Country Agreements: (1) “Federal-Mogul Parent” shall mean Federal-Mogul Corporation, a Michigan corporation, with offices at 26555 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, Michigan 48034, and “Federal-Mogul” shall mean Federal-Mogul Parent and/or, in the context of a Country Agreement, the applicable Affiliate of Federal-Mogul Parent that is a contracting entity to such Country Agreement; (2) “IBM Parent” shall mean International Business Machines Corporation, a New York corporation with offices at Route 100, Somers, New York 10589, and “IBM” shall mean IBM Parent and/or in the context of a Country Agreement, the applicable Affiliate of IBM Parent that is a contracting entity to such Country Agreement; and (3) “Party” shall mean either Federal-Mogul or IBM, as appropriate, and “Parties” shall mean Federal-Mogul and IBM, collectively.

 

  1. OBJECTIVES AND CONSTRUCTION

 

  1.1 Background.

 

This Master Agreement is being made and entered into with reference to the following:

 

(A) Federal-Mogul is a global automotive parts manufacturer and distributor in the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty and industrial markets, serving both original equipment and aftermarket customers. Employing approximately 47,000 people at 150 locations in 25 countries, Federal-Mogul is among the world’s top independent automotive suppliers.

 

(B) Historically, Federal-Mogul has relied predominantly on internal staff to deliver the finance and accounting and related information technology services described in this Master Agreement. However, in December 2003, Federal-Mogul commenced a formal competitive procurement process to identify service providers with the capability and experience to provide certain finance and accounting and related information technology services (all as further described in this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements) on an outsourced basis (the “F&A Outsourcing Services”).

 

(C) IBM desired to provide the F&A Outsourcing Services and participated in Federal-Mogul’s competitive procurement process.

 

(D) Based upon IBM’s (1) demonstrated capability to provide the F&A Outsourcing Services; (2) proposed pricing for the F&A Outsourcing Services; and (3) commitment to assign certain key personnel to the Federal-Mogul account on a dedicated basis and certain other personnel on an as-needed basis to deliver the F&A Outsourcing Services, Federal-Mogul selected IBM to enter into discussions and negotiations for a definitive agreement pursuant to which IBM would provide the F&A Outsourcing Services.

 

(E) The Parties’ discussions and negotiations culminated in this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements.

 

     1    F&A Master Services Agreement


(F) This Master Agreement, including the schedules attached hereto, and the Country Agreements, including the exhibits and schedules attached thereto, document the terms and conditions under which Federal-Mogul agrees to purchase and IBM agrees to provide the F&A Outsourcing Services.

 

  1.2 Objectives.

 

Federal-Mogul and IBM have agreed upon the following specific goals and objectives for this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements:

 

(A) Produce significant operational cost savings for Federal-Mogul relative to the costs Federal-Mogul is currently incurring to provide the F&A Outsourcing Services to the Federal-Mogul facilities affected by the transaction;

 

(B) Increase the probability of the successful achievement of certain improvements to Federal-Mogul’s finance and accounting systems and service delivery for Federal-Mogul locations that are not currently being supported by Federal-Mogul’s shared services environment;

 

(C) Help enable Federal-Mogul to spread certain investments for the improvement of certain systems and processes that relate to the F&A Outsourcing Services over a longer period;

 

(D) Provide for the continuous improvement of the systems and processes that relate to the F&A Outsourcing Services;

 

(E) Improve the quality of the systems and processes that relate to the F&A Outsourcing Services;

 

(F) Improve Federal-Mogul’s access to the capabilities and competencies that relate to the F&A Outsourcing Services;

 

(G) Improve performance management and measurement of Federal-Mogul’s finance and accounting processes and systems;

 

(H) Increase and maintain an enhanced level of visibility over, the integrity of and accountability for Federal-Mogul’s finance and accounting and related information technology processes, systems and controls through the implementation of contractual mechanisms designed to enhance such visibility and integrity (e.g., Service Levels), and align the delivery of finance and accounting and related information technology services with Federal-Mogul’s internal control requirements; and

 

(I) Help enable Federal-Mogul to focus its attention on its core businesses and processes.

  3. AGREEMENT STRUCTURE AND INTERPRETATION

 

  3.1 Master Agreement Structure.

 

This Master Agreement provides the legal framework pursuant to which Federal-Mogul may from time to time request, and IBM shall provide, the Services set forth in the applicable Country Agreement. The Services to be provided by IBM, and any additional obligations of either Party with respect to the receipt or delivery of such Services, shall be governed by the applicable Country Agreements. Each Country Agreement is therefore a binding contract on both Parties thereto.

 

  3.2 Interpretation of Documents.

 

Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing in a Country Agreement, if there is any inconsistency between this Master Agreement and the applicable Country Agreements, the order of priority for purposes of construction is: first, the Country Agreements; and second, this Master Agreement.

 

  3.3 IBM Performance Guaranty.

 

IBM WTC shall guarantee the performance of all of each IBM Local Entity’s obligations under each of the Country Agreements (other than the *** Country Agreement) by entering into a performance guaranty substantially in the form attached as Schedule A.

 

  4. TERM

 

  4.1 Term.

 

The term of this Master Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the earlier of the expiration or termination of the last remaining Primary Country Agreement (the “Master Agreement Expiration Date”) unless it is renewed pursuant to Section 4.2 (“Term”).

 

  4.2 Renewal.

 

Unless this Master Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms, Federal-Mogul shall notify IBM at least 180 days prior to the Master Agreement Expiration Date as to whether or not Federal-Mogul desires to renew this Master Agreement. If Federal-Mogul provides IBM with notice pursuant to

 

*** MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

 

     4    F&A Master Services Agreement


this Section that it does not desire to renew this Master Agreement, this Master Agreement shall expire on the Master Agreement Expiration Date. If Federal-Mogul provides IBM with notice pursuant to this Section that it desires to renew this Master Agreement and the Parties have not agreed on the applicable terms and conditions in respect of such renewal 30 days prior to the Master Agreement Expiration Date, then this Master Agreement shall expire on the Master Agreement Expiration Date.

 

  4.3 Country Agreements.

 

The term of a Country Agreement shall commence on the Country Agreement Effective Date and shall continue until the Country Agreement Expiration Date, or such earlier date upon which such Country Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (the “Initial Country Agreement Term”). A Country Agreement may be extended upon the terms of such Country Agreement; provided, however, that (A) no Country Agreement shall extend beyond the end of the Term and (B) no Related Country Agreement may be extended for a term that is longer than the term of the Primary Country Agreement to which it is related.

 

  5. TRANSITION

 

  5.1 General.

 

Commencing on the applicable Country Agreement Effective Date, IBM shall plan, prepare for and conduct the transition of certain finance and accounting and related information technology operations all in accordance with the applicable Transition Plan (the “Transition”). The Transition of such operations shall be completed no later than the Transition Completion Date. IBM’s responsibilities with respect to Transition include:

 

(A) performing the services, functions and responsibilities described in the Transition Plan in accordance with the applicable Transition schedule and Transition Milestones;

 

(B) performing the Transition in a manner so as to minimize any disruption to Federal-Mogul’s business operations;

 

(C) paying all costs associated with the Transition (except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit C to the applicable Country Agreement); and

 

(D) otherwise performing such transition and migration tasks as are necessary to enable IBM to provide the Services in accordance with the terms of the applicable Country Agreement, including the applicable Service Levels.

 

  5.2 Transition Plan.

 

The Transition shall be conducted, pursuant to each Country Agreement, in accordance with a written plan that shall include: (A) a description of the finance and accounting and related information technology operations being transitioned; (B) a description of the methods and procedures, personnel and organization IBM will use to perform the Transition; (C) a schedule of Transition activities; (D) a detailed description of the respective roles and responsibilities of Federal-Mogul and IBM; and (E) such other information and planning as are necessary to ensure that the Transition takes place on schedule and in a manner so as to minimize the disruption to Federal-Mogul business operations (the “Transition

 

     5    F&A Master Services Agreement


Plan”). The initial draft of each Transition Plan shall be attached as Schedule D-1 to Exhibit D to the applicable Country Agreement. IBM shall be responsible for revising and finalizing each Transition Plan; provided that: (1) IBM shall cooperate and work closely with Federal-Mogul in baselining and finalizing each Transition Plan (including incorporating Federal-Mogul’s reasonable comments); and (2) the final Transition Plan (and any changes thereto) shall be subject to written approval by Federal-Mogul.

 

  5.3 Completion of Transition.

 

(A) Federal-Mogul reserves the right to monitor, test and otherwise observe and participate in each Transition. IBM will notify Federal-Mogul without delay if any Federal-Mogul monitoring, testing or participation has caused (or IBM expects it to cause) a problem or delay in any Transition and work with Federal-Mogul to prevent or circumvent the problem or delay.

 

(B) In IBM’s performance of each Transition, no functionality of Federal-Mogul’s then-current environment will be discontinued until IBM demonstrates to Federal-Mogul’s reasonable satisfaction that the affected processes and operations have been migrated to IBM’s target environment, Federal-Mogul has signed-off on such migration and IBM has commenced providing the relevant Services in accordance with the Transition Plan.

 

  5.4 Transition Delays.

 

(A) If any Interim Transition Milestone is not completed on or before the given date for such Interim Transition Milestone, then, unless such delay was caused by Federal-Mogul, for the period of delay, IBM, subject to Section 5.5, shall incur the applicable Transition Milestone Credits specified in Exhibit D to the applicable Country Agreement. If such delay was caused by Federal-Mogul, then any related Transition Milestone Credits will be excused, and Federal-Mogul shall reimburse IBM for any Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred, and additional personnel required (at the labor rates set forth in Exhibit C to the applicable Country Agreement), by IBM as a result of such delay.

 

(B) If the Transition is not completed on or before the applicable Transition Completion Date specified in Exhibit D to the applicable Country Agreement, then, unless such delay in completing the Transition by the Transition Completion Date was caused by Federal-Mogul, IBM shall pay to Federal-Mogul (1) any Transition Milestone Credits incurred pursuant to Section 5.4(A) in respect of the Interim Transition Milestones and (2) the Transition Milestone Credits to be credited for each day that the Final Transition Milestone is not completed by the Transition Completion Date as specified in Exhibit D to the applicable Country Agreement. If the delay in completing the Transition by the Transition Completion Date was caused by Federal-Mogul, then any related Transition Milestone Credits will be excused, and Federal-Mogul shall reimburse IBM for any Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred, and additional personnel required (at the labor rates set forth in Exhibit C to the applicable Country Agreement), by IBM as a result of such delay.

 

(C) If the Final Transition Milestone is completed on or before the Transition Completion Date, any Transition Milestone Credits incurred by IBM pursuant to Section 5.4(A)(1) in respect of the Interim Transition Milestones shall be excused by Federal-Mogul.

     29    F&A Master Services Agreement


  (C) Correction and Restoration of Federal-Mogul Data.

 

IBM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any errors occurring in any Federal-Mogul Data and restore any losses of any Federal-Mogul Data to the extent that such errors or losses result from IBM’s failure to comply with the terms of this Master Agreement.

 

  18.2 Safeguarding Federal-Mogul Data.

 

  (A) IBM Safeguards.

 

IBM shall establish and maintain safeguards against the destruction, loss, copying or alteration of Federal-Mogul Data in the possession or control of IBM which are no less rigorous than those maintained by Federal-Mogul and provided to IBM in writing by Federal-Mogul as of the applicable Country Agreement Effective Date and are no less rigorous than those maintained by IBM for its own information of a similar nature. Federal-Mogul shall, at its own expense, have the right to establish backup security for Federal-Mogul Data and to keep backup Federal-Mogul Data and Federal-Mogul Data files in its possession if it chooses.

 

  (B) IBM Obligations.

 

Without limiting the generality of Section 18.2(A):

 

(1) IBM Personnel shall not attempt to access, or allow access to, any Federal-Mogul Data which they are not permitted to access under the Country Agreement pursuant to which such personnel are providing Services.

  (A) Confidential Information.

 

IBM and Federal-Mogul each acknowledge that they may be furnished with, receive or otherwise have access to information of or concerning the other Party which such Party considers to be confidential, a trade secret or otherwise restricted. “Confidential Information” shall mean all information, in any form, furnished or made available directly or indirectly by one Party to the other which is marked confidential, restricted, or with a similar designation. The terms and conditions of this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements shall be deemed Confidential Information. In the case of Federal-Mogul, Confidential Information also shall include, whether or not marked confidential, restricted, or with a similar designation: (1) the specifications, designs, documents, correspondence, IP, documentation, data and other materials and work product produced by or for IBM in the course of performing the Services (excluding IBM IP); (2) all information concerning the operations, affairs and business of Federal-Mogul, the financial affairs of Federal-Mogul, and the relations of Federal-Mogul with its customers, employees and service providers (including customer lists, customer information,

account information and consumer markets); (3) Federal-Mogul IP and any Dedicated IP; and (4) Federal-Mogul Data (collectively, the “Federal-Mogul Confidential Information”). In the case of IBM, Confidential Information shall include IBM IP.

 

  (B) Obligations.

 

(1) Federal-Mogul and IBM shall each use at least the same degree of care as it employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure of its own information, but in any event no less than commercially reasonable efforts, to prevent disclosing to third parties the Confidential Information of the other Party, provided that IBM may disclose such information to properly authorized entities as and to the extent necessary for performance of the Services, and Federal-Mogul may disclose such information to third parties as and to the extent necessary for Federal-Mogul to obtain the benefits of this Master Agreement in the conduct of its business, where in each such case, the receiving entity first agrees in writing to the obligations described in this Section. Any disclosure to such entities shall be under terms and conditions substantially the same as those provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party’s information (other than information that is subject to separate confidentiality arrangements with third parties of which IBM is advised in advance and in writing) relating to Equipment, Software and the information technology infrastructure used in the ordinary course of providing the Services, shall not constitute Confidential Information of either Party *** years after the termination or expiration of this Master Agreement.

 

(2) As requested by Federal-Mogul during the term of any Country Agreement and upon expiration or termination of any such Country Agreement and completion of IBM’s obligations under any such Country Agreement, IBM shall return or destroy, as Federal-Mogul may direct, all material in any medium that contains, refers to, or relates to Federal-Mogul Confidential Information, and retain no copies (except as otherwise required to meet IBM’s obligations with respect to records retention and audit requirements).

 

(3) IBM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all IBM Personnel to comply with these confidentiality provisions.

 

(4) In the event of any disclosure or loss of, or inability to account for, any Confidential Information of the furnishing Party, the receiving Party promptly shall: (A) notify the furnishing Party upon becoming aware thereof; (B) take such actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the furnishing Party to minimize the violation; and (C) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the furnishing Party to minimize the violation and any damage resulting therefrom.

 

(5) The obligations set forth in this Section with regard to Confidential Information shall apply to Confidential Information provided, furnished or otherwise disclosed to IBM prior to the Effective Date.

 

  (C) Exclusions.

 

Section 18.3(B) shall not apply to any particular information which IBM or Federal-Mogul can demonstrate: (1) was, at the time of disclosure to it, in the public domain; (2) after disclosure to it, is published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party; (3) was in the possession of the receiving Party at the time of disclosure to it (provided that the receiving Party was under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party at the time such information came into such Party’s possession); (4) was received after disclosure to it from a third party who had a lawful right

     31    F&A Master Services Agreement


to disclose such information to it without any obligation to restrict its further use or disclosure; or (5) was independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to Confidential Information of the furnishing Party. In addition, a Party shall not be considered to have breached its obligations by disclosing Confidential Information of the other Party as required to satisfy any legal requirement of a competent government body provided that, immediately upon receiving any such request and to the extent that it may legally do so, such Party advises the other Party of the request and prior to making such disclosure in order that the other Party may interpose an objection to such disclosure, take action to assure confidential handling of the Confidential Information, or take such other action as it deems appropriate to protect the Confidential Information.

 

  (D) Transaction Tax Structure.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that, except to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities Laws, each Party (and each employee, representative, and other agent of such Party) may disclose to any and all persons the transaction’s tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Internal Revenue Code §§ 6011 and 6112 and regulations promulgated thereunder) contemplated by this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) provided to such Party or such person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. This authorization is not intended to permit disclosure of any other information, including: (1) any portion of any materials to the extent not related to the transaction’s tax treatment or tax structure; (2) the identities of the Parties or potential additional parties; (3) any pricing or financial information (except to the extent such pricing or financial information is related to the transaction’s tax treatment or tax structure); or (4) any other term or detail not relevant to the transaction’s tax treatment or the tax structure.

 

  (E) No Implied Rights.

 

Each Party’s Confidential Information shall remain the property of that Party, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Master Agreement or a Country Agreement. Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed as obligating a Party to disclose its Confidential Information to the other Party, or as granting to or conferring on a Party, expressly or impliedly, any rights or license to the Confidential Information of the other Party, except to the extent that any such obligation or grant is provided by other provisions of this Master Agreement or an applicable Country Agreement.

(3) Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Master Agreement shall prevent Federal-Mogul or IBM from taking the steps it deems necessary to comply with applicable data protection Laws.

 

(4) IBM shall not subcontract its processing of Federal-Mogul Personal Data without Federal-Mogul’s prior written consent. Where any subcontract agreement is concluded by IBM with the Federal- Mogul’s prior written consent, the above subcontract agreement should be in accordance with applicable data protection Laws.

 

  (D) Security.

 

IBM will have the technical and organizational security measures in place to prevent unauthorized or unlawful processing of any Federal-Mogul Personal Data, as determined and directed by Federal-Mogul. Such measures, which are acknowledged by Federal-Mogul as being technically and organizationally appropriate in accordance with the applicable Law, shall also protect such Federal-Mogul Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, destruction, damage, unauthorized disclosure or access or any unlawful forms of processing.

 

  (E) Transborder Data Flows.

 

IBM will not transfer any Federal-Mogul Personal Data across European Economic Area borders unless IBM obtains Federal-Mogul’s prior written consent and IBM transfers such Federal-Mogul Personal Data in accordance with applicable data protection Laws as determined by Federal-Mogul.

  27.6 Extension of Termination/Expiration Effective Date.

 

Federal-Mogul may extend the effective date of termination/expiration of any Country Agreement one or more times as it elects, at its discretion, provided that the total of all such extensions shall not exceed 90 days following the original effective date of termination/expiration. For any notice or notices of such extensions provided to IBM within 60 days of the then-scheduled date of termination/expiration, Federal-Mogul shall reimburse IBM for additional Out-of-Pocket Expenses caused by such notices.

 

  27.7 Termination/Expiration Assistance.

 

  (A) Provision of Termination/Expiration Assistance.

 

Commencing six months prior to expiration of each Country Agreement or on such earlier date as Federal-Mogul may request, or commencing upon a notice of termination (including notice based upon default by Federal-Mogul) or of non-renewal of each Country Agreement, and continuing through the effective date of expiration or, if applicable, of termination of such Country Agreement (as such effective date may be extended pursuant to Section 27.6), IBM shall provide to Federal-Mogul, or at Federal-Mogul’s request to Federal-Mogul’s designee, the reasonable termination/expiration assistance requested by Federal-Mogul to allow the Services to continue without interruption or adverse effect and to facilitate the orderly transfer of the Services to Federal-Mogul or its designee (“Termination/Expiration Assistance”). Termination/Expiration Assistance shall include the assistance described in Exhibit K to the applicable Country Agreement and the following:

 

(1) Federal-Mogul or Federal-Mogul’s designee shall be permitted to undertake, without interference from IBM, to hire any IBM Personnel primarily performing the Services no earlier than 90 days prior to the date of termination or expiration of the applicable Country Agreement. IBM shall, during such period, waive, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its subcontractors to waive, their rights, if any, under contracts with such personnel restricting the ability of such personnel to be recruited or hired by Federal-Mogul or Federal-Mogul’s designee. Federal-Mogul or its designee shall have reasonable access to such personnel for interviews and recruitment.

 

(2) If Federal-Mogul is entitled pursuant to the applicable Country Agreement to any right to Use any IBM IP, IBM shall grant or otherwise provide such right.

 

(3) At Federal-Mogul’s request, IBM shall: (a) obtain any IBM Required Consents and thereafter assign to Federal-Mogul or its designee leases for some or all of the Equipment that was necessary as of the date of termination/expiration of the applicable Country Agreement primarily for providing the Services to Federal-Mogul, and Federal-Mogul shall assume the obligations under such leases that relate to periods after such date; and (b) sell to Federal-Mogul or its designee, at fair market value, some or all of the Equipment owned by IBM that was necessary as of the date of termination/expiration of such Country Agreement used primarily for providing the Services to Federal-Mogul. IBM shall also provide all user and other documentation relevant to such Equipment which is in IBM’s possession. Federal-Mogul will assume responsibility under any maintenance agreements for such Equipment to the extent such responsibilities relate to periods after the date of termination/expiration of such Country Agreement.

 

(4) IBM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary rights and thereafter make available to Federal-Mogul or its designee, pursuant to reasonable terms and conditions, any third party services then being utilized by IBM in the performance of the Services including services

 

     54    F&A Master Services Agreement


being provided through third party service or maintenance contracts on Equipment, Software and Tools. IBM will be entitled to retain the right to utilize any such third party services in connection with the performance of services for any other IBM customer.

 

  (B) Timing and Charges.

 

For a period of up to *** following the effective date of termination/expiration under other provisions of the applicable Country Agreement, IBM shall continue to provide, at Federal-Mogul’s request, Termination/Expiration Assistance. Actions by IBM under this Section shall be subject to the other provisions of the applicable Country Agreement. Charges for any Termination/Expiration Assistance shall be as set forth in Exhibit C to the applicable Country Agreement and shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with Article 20, provided that Federal-Mogul shall pay IBM monthly in advance for any Termination/Expiration Assistance if IBM terminated the applicable Country Agreement pursuant to Section 27.1(B). In the event such Charges become payable in advance, the monthly amount of such Charges shall be equal to a reasonable monthly estimate of the Charges for such Termination/Expiration Assistance.

 

  (C) IBM Cooperation.

 

In the process of evaluating whether to undertake or allow termination/expiration or renewal of a Country Agreement, Federal-Mogul may consider obtaining, or determine to obtain, offers for performance of services similar to the Services following termination/expiration of such Country Agreement. As and when reasonably requested by Federal-Mogul for use in this process, IBM shall provide to Federal-Mogul such information and other cooperation regarding performance of the Services as would be reasonably necessary for a third party to prepare an informed, non-qualified offer for such services, and for a third party not to be disadvantaged compared to IBM if IBM were to be invited by Federal-Mogul to submit a proposal. IBM’s support in this respect shall include providing information regarding Systems, staffing and other matters described in Exhibit K to the applicable Country Agreement as applicable to this Section. Any third party receiving such information shall be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement with Federal-Mogul that contains confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those contained in Section 18.3.

 

  27.8 Equitable Remedies.

 

IBM acknowledges that, in the event it fails or refuses to provide any portion of the Termination/Expiration Assistance and such failure or refusal will, or will likely, adversely impact the Services or the orderly transfer of the Services to Federal-Mogul or its designee, Federal-Mogul will be irreparably harmed. In such a circumstance, Federal-Mogul may proceed directly to court. If a court of competent jurisdiction should find that IBM has refused to perform any portion of the Termination/Expiration Assistance, IBM agrees that, without any additional findings of irreparable injury or other conditions to injunctive relief, it shall not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling performance by IBM of the Termination/Expiration Assistance and restraining it from any further failure or refusal to perform such Termination/Expiration Assistance, and provided any such court order includes an order directing Federal-Mogul to make payments for Termination/Expiration Assistance in accordance with the applicable Country Agreement.

  28. CONTINUED PROVISION OF SERVICES.

 

  28.1 Force Majeure.

 

  (A) General.

 

No Party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under the applicable Country Agreements if and to the extent such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, riots, terrorist attacks, civil disorders, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party (each a “Force Majeure Event”); provided the non-performing Party is without fault in causing such default or delay, and such default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and could not reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing Party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means (including with respect to IBM by IBM meeting its obligations for performing disaster recovery services as described in the applicable Country Agreement).

 

  (B) Excused Performance.

 

In such event the non-performing Party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Any Party so delayed in its performance shall immediately notify the Party to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within two days of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such delay.

 

  (C) Federal-Mogul Rights.

 

If a Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders or delays performance of the Services necessary for the performance of functions identified by Federal-Mogul as critical in accordance with Exhibit O to the applicable Country Agreement for more than five consecutive days, then at Federal-Mogul’s option: (1) Federal-Mogul may procure such Services from an alternate source, and IBM shall be liable for payment of the charges to such alternate source for the Services (to the extent such charges are reasonable under the circumstances) from the alternate source for up to *** from the date of the initial prevention, hindrance or delay (provided that Federal-Mogul continues to pay IBM the Charges for the Services); (2) Federal-Mogul may terminate such Country Agreement by giving written notice to IBM and paying ***. IBM shall not have the right to any other additional payments from Federal-Mogul for costs or expenses incurred by IBM as a result of any Force Majeure Event.

 

  28.2 Disaster Recovery.

 

(A) IBM shall, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Transition Plan: (1) develop, submit to Federal-Mogul for Federal-Mogul’s review, and implement a disaster recovery plan (“DRP”) acceptable to Federal-Mogul; (2) update and test (at the frequency set forth in Exhibit O to the applicable Country Agreement) the operability of the DRP to validate that the DRP is operational; (3) certify to Federal-Mogul at least once during every 12-month period during the Term that the DRP is operational; and (4) implement the DRP upon the occurrence of a disaster, in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit O to the applicable Country Agreement and the recovery time objectives set forth in Schedule O-1 to Exhibit O of the applicable Country Agreement.

 

*** MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

 

     56    F&A Master Services Agreement


(B) If, upon the occurrence of a disaster, (1) the Key Critical Services are not reinstated within *** days, (2) the Critical Services are not reinstated within the timeframe agreed upon by the Parties and specified in the DRP, or (3) the remaining Services are not reinstated within the timeframe agreed upon by the Parties and specified in the DRP (but in no event later than 30 days following the occurrence of a disaster), then Federal-Mogul may terminate the applicable Country Agreement. IBM shall not increase its Charges under a Country Agreement or charge Federal-Mogul usage fees in addition to the Charges set forth in Exhibit C to such Country Agreement nor shall Federal-Mogul, ***.

 

(C) For a period of 30 days following the occurrence of a disaster, (1) IBM shall not be subject to KPI Credits associated with any KPI Defaults that occur during such 30-day period and (2) Federal-Mogul shall not be entitled to terminate any of the Country Agreements that are directly impacted by such disaster pursuant to Section 27.2, provided that IBM is performing the disaster recovery services set forth in Exhibit O and the DRP and using commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Services in accordance with the Service Levels.

 

  29. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

Any dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Master Agreement and any Country Agreement, including disputes concerning the interpretation of any provision of this Master Agreement or any Country Agreement and the performance by IBM or Federal-Mogul, shall be resolved as provided in this Article.

 

  29.1 Informal Dispute Resolution.

 

  (A) Procedure.

 

The Parties initially shall attempt to resolve their dispute informally, in accordance with the following:

 

(1) Upon the written request by a Party (“Dispute Date”), each Party shall appoint a designated representative who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to performance under this Master Agreement or the applicable Country Agreement, whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute.

 

(2) The designated representatives shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue which the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The representatives shall discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.

 

(3) If the designated representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within 20 days of the Dispute Date, the dispute shall be escalated to the General Manager, Americas, BTO of IBM and the Chief Financial Officer of Federal-Mogul. The senior executives shall meet in person or by telephone conference (if agreed by the Parties) to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.

 

(4) During the course of the designated representatives and senior executives discussions, all reasonable requests made by a Party to the other for non-privileged information,

 

*** MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

 

     57    F&A Master Services Agreement


reasonably related to the provision(s) of this Master Agreement or the applicable Country Agreement relating to the dispute, shall be honored in order that a Party may be fully advised of the other’s position.

 

(5) The specific format for the discussions shall be left to the discretion of the designated representatives and senior executives.

 

  (B) Escalation.

 

Litigation of a dispute may be commenced by either Party upon the earlier to occur of any of the following:

 

(1) the senior executives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely;

 

(2) 45 days have elapsed from the Dispute Date (this period shall be deemed to run notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Section was not followed or completed); or

 

(3) commencement of litigation is appropriate to avoid the expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or a Party makes a good faith determination, including as provided in Section 27.8 respecting Federal-Mogul, that a breach by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is necessary.

 

  29.2 Jurisdiction.

 

The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consent to venue in Detroit, Michigan (and hereby waive any claims of forum non conveniens with respect to such venue) and to the exclusive jurisdiction of competent Michigan state courts or federal courts in the Eastern District of Michigan for all litigation which may be brought with respect to the negotiation, execution, performance, and terms of, and the transactions and relationships contemplated by, this Master Agreement, including the enforceability or validity thereof. The Parties further consent to the jurisdiction of any state court located within a district which encompasses assets of a Party against which a judgment has been rendered for the enforcement of such judgment against the assets of such Party.

 

  29.3 Continued Performance.

 

Each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations under this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements while a dispute is being resolved, except to the extent the issue in dispute precludes performance (dispute over payment shall not be deemed to preclude performance) and without limiting either Party’s right to terminate this Master Agreement as provided in Article 27.

 

  29.4 Governing Law.

 

This Master Agreement and performance under this Master Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the state of Michigan without regard to its choice of law principles. The Parties hereby consent to waive any right either Party may have to a trial by jury as it relates to the determination of the nature and/or amount of damages.

Subject to the foregoing, any assignment by operation of Law, order of any court, or pursuant to any plan of merger, consolidation or liquidation, shall be deemed an assignment for which prior consent is required and any assignment made without any such consent shall be void and of no effect as between the Parties.

 

  30.2 Entire Agreement; Amendment.

 

This Master Agreement and the Country Agreements, including any exhibits and schedules referred to and attached, each of which is incorporated herein for all purposes, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter contained in this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements. No change, waiver, or discharge hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party against which such change, waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced.

The remainder of this Master Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

  30.7 Consents and Approval.

 

Except where expressly provided as being in the discretion of a Party, where agreement, approval, acceptance, consent, or similar action by either Party is required under this Master Agreement, such action shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. An approval or consent given by a Party under this Master Agreement shall not relieve the other Party from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this Master Agreement, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any rights under this Master Agreement, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such approval or consent. Each Party shall, at the request of the other Party, perform those actions, including executing additional documents and instruments, reasonably necessary to give full effect to the terms of this Master Agreement.

A delay or omission by either Party to exercise any right or power under this Master Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver thereof.

  30.9 Cumulative Remedies.

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all remedies provided for in this Master Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either Party at law or in equity.

There will be no initial media releases, public announcements or public disclosures by either Party announcing the execution or the entering into by the Parties of this Master Agreement. All other media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by either Party relating to this Master Agreement or the subject matter of this Master Agreement, including promotional or marketing material, but not including announcements intended solely for internal distribution or disclosures to the extent required to meet legal or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the disclosing Party, shall be coordinated with and approved by the other Party prior to release. With respect to any such media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by IBM, IBM will coordinate with and have all related materials approved in writing by Federal-Mogul’s Director of its Corporate Communications Department.

 

  30.12 Service Marks.

 

IBM and Federal-Mogul each agrees that it shall not use the names, logos, symbols, trade identities, service marks or trademarks of the other Party.

 

  30.13 Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

Each Party intends that neither this Master Agreement shall not benefit, or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of, any person or entity other than the Parties.

 

  30.14 Covenant of Good Faith.

Any dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Country Agreement, including disputes concerning the interpretation of any provision of this Country Agreement and the performance by IBM Local Entity or Federal-Mogul Local Entity, shall be resolved as provided in this Article.

 

  29.1 Informal Dispute Resolution.

 

  (A) Procedure.

 

The Parties initially shall attempt to resolve their dispute informally, in accordance with the following:

 

(1) Upon the written request by a Party (“Dispute Date”), each Party shall appoint a designated representative who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to performance under this Country Agreement, whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute.

 

(2) The designated representatives shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue which the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The representatives shall discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.

 

(3) If the designated representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within 20 days of the Dispute Date, the dispute shall be escalated to the General Manager, Americas, BTO of IBM Parent and the Chief Financial Officer of Federal-Mogul Parent. The senior executives shall meet in person or by telephone conference (if agreed by the Parties) to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.

 

(4) During the course of the designated representatives and senior executives discussions, all reasonable requests made by a Party to the other for non-privileged information, reasonably related to the provision(s) of this Country Agreement relating to the dispute, shall be honored in order that a Party may be fully advised of the other’s position.

 

(5) The specific format for the discussions shall be left to the discretion of the designated representatives and senior executives.

 

  (B) Escalation.

 

Litigation of a dispute may be commenced by either Party upon the earlier to occur of any of the following:

 

(1) the senior executives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely;

 

(2) 45 days have elapsed from the Dispute Date (this period shall be deemed to run notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Section was not followed or completed); or

 

     8    Country Agreement (Pro Forma)


(3) commencement of litigation is appropriate to avoid the expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or a Party makes a good faith determination, including as provided in Section 27.8 respecting Federal-Mogul, that a breach by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is necessary.

 

  29.2 Jurisdiction.

 

The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consent to venue in Detroit, Michigan (and hereby waive any claims of forum non conveniens with respect to such venue) and to the exclusive jurisdiction of competent Michigan state courts or federal courts in the Eastern District of Michigan for all litigation which may be brought with respect to the negotiation, execution, performance, and terms of, and the transactions and relationships contemplated by, this Country Agreement, including the enforceability or validity thereof. The Parties further consent to the jurisdiction of any state court located within a district which encompasses assets of a Party against which a judgment has been rendered for the enforcement of such judgment against the assets of such Party.

 

  29.3 Continued Performance.

 

Each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations under this Country Agreement while a dispute is being resolved, except to the extent the issue in dispute precludes performance (dispute over payment shall not be deemed to preclude performance) and without limiting either Party’s right to terminate this Country Agreement as provided in Article 27.

 

  29.4 Governing Law.

 

This Country Agreement and performance under this Country Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the state of Michigan without regard to its choice of law principles. The Parties hereby consent to waive any right either Party may have to a trial by jury as it relates to the determination of the nature and/or amount of damages.

Other capitalized terms used in this Exhibit are defined in the context in which they are used and shall have the meanings there indicated. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit shall have the meanings set forth in the Country Agreement.

 

  2. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

 

  2.1 General.

 

IBM Local Entity shall perform the Services in accordance with the Service Levels. IBM Local Entity’s compliance with the Service Levels shall be measured in accordance with the applicable Measurement Window, as set forth in Schedule B-1. With respect to those components of the Services for which a Service Level is not defined, IBM Local Entity shall perform such Services at least at the same level and with the same degree of accuracy, quality, completeness and responsiveness as was provided prior to the Country Agreement Effective Date by Federal-Mogul Local Entity.

 

  2.2 Service Levels; KPIs.

 

The Service Levels are set forth in Schedule B-1. Certain of the Service Levels are of particular importance to Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s business and are therefore designated as KPIs.

     1    Exhibit B (Pro Forma)


  2.4 Reporting.

 

In addition to the reporting requirements set forth in the Country Agreement and Schedule A-2, IBM Local Entity shall provide Federal-Mogul Local Entity with monthly reports (each, a “Service Level Report”) with respect to Service Level performance in the preceding Measurement Window, by no later than the tenth business day of each month during the term of the Country Agreement. Service Level Reports shall be in such form and have such content as is reasonably required for Federal-Mogul Local Entity to verify IBM Local Entity’s performance against the Service Levels. In no event shall the Service Level Report be deemed a substitute for compliance with independent notice requirements specified in the Country Agreement. The contents of Service Level Reports shall be Confidential Information of Federal-Mogul Local Entity and IBM Local Entity.

 

  3. ADDITIONS; DELETIONS AND MODIFICATIONS

 

The methodology provided in this Article 3 shall be used to add new Service Levels requested by Federal-Mogul Local Entity, delete existing Service Levels, and change the designations and KPI Credit Percentage allocations after the Country Agreement Effective Date.

 

  3.1 Modifying Initial Service Levels and Adding New Service Levels.

 

For (1) Service Levels set forth in Schedule B-1 for which the Target and Minimum Services Levels are designated as “[TBD]” and (2) for new Service Levels requested by Federal-Mogul Local Entity after the Country Agreement Effective Date, the Target and Minimum Service Levels will be computed as follows:

 

(A) Where at least *** consecutive months of service measurements exist (as measured by Federal-Mogul Local Entity or IBM Local Entity) for a particular Service:

 

(1) The Target Service Level shall be established by taking the ***

 

(2) The Minimum Service Level shall be established by taking the ***

 

(3) ***

 

(4) If the Parties agree that any specific ***consecutive month measurement period is not representative of the circumstances under which the associated Services are generally performed, the Parties shall meet to negotiate and determine the appropriate measurement period and Service Level (Target and Minimum) calculation methodology.

 

(B) Where no service measurements exist for a particular Service, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on a Service Level commitment using industry standard measures (e.g., measures provided by third party experts such as ***). If the Parties are unable to agree upon a Service Level under this Section, then the following shall apply:

 

(1) Within *** days after Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s request to establish a new Service Level and subject to the Parties agreement on how IBM Local Entity will measure such new Service Level in accordance with the Change Control Procedure, IBM Local Entity shall begin providing monthly measurements of its performance of the applicable Services against such new Service Level.

 

*** MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

 

     2    Exhibit B (Pro Forma)


(2) After *** or more actual monthly service measurements are provided by IBM Local Entity, Federal-Mogul Local Entity may at any time request in writing that Section 3.1(A) be used to establish the Target Service Level and Minimum Service Level commitment.

 

(C) After a Target Service Level and Minimum Service Level have been computed under Section 3.1(A) or Section 3.1(B), if Federal-Mogul Local Entity at its sole discretion determines that such Service Levels do not reasonably measure performance of the Service being measured, IBM Local Entity will, at Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s request, measure actual performance against such Service Level for an additional *** months and use the methodology set forth in Section 3.1(A) to recalculate the applicable Target Service Level and Minimum Service Level utilizing the *** months of service measurements.

 

(D) In no event shall any Minimum Service Level established pursuant to this Article be lower (i.e., worse from Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s perspective) than the level and degree of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and efficiency as was documented and provided prior to the Country Agreement Effective Date by or for Federal-Mogul Local Entity.

 

  3.2 Deleting Service Levels.

 

Federal-Mogul Local Entity may delete Service Levels at any time during the term of the Country Agreement by sending written notice to IBM Local Entity.

 

  3.3 Modifying Designations and Allocations.

 

Federal-Mogul Local Entity may, in its sole discretion: (A) increase or decrease the KPI Credit Percentage for any KPIs; or (B) change the designation of a GPI to a KPI or the designation of a KPI to a GPI; provided: (1) Federal-Mogul Local Entity provides IBM Local Entity with written notice at least *** days prior to the date that such new KPI Credit Percentage or designations are to be effective; (2) the applicable GPI is designated as eligible for promotion to a KPI in Schedule B-1; and (3) Federal-Mogul Local Entity may not send such a notice (which notice may contain multiple changes) more than *** each calendar quarter.

 

  4. ADJUSTMENTS TO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

 

  4.1 Adjustments to Service Levels.

 

The Parties expect and intend that the Service Levels shall be improved over time during the term of the Country Agreement. Accordingly, IBM Local Entity shall research and propose reasonable improvements to the Services (with appropriate modifications to the applicable Service Levels) at least *** each year. At a minimum, IBM Local Entity shall provide continuous quality assurance and quality improvement through the identification and application of proven techniques and tools from other installations within its operations that would benefit Federal-Mogul Local Entity either operationally or financially and shall implement programs, practices, processes and measures designed at a minimum to (A) enable IBM Local Entity to perform the Services in accordance with the Country Agreement, and (B) improve the Service Levels. Such improvements shall not be implemented or become effective until agreed upon by the Parties through the Change Control Procedure. Other occasions on which the Parties shall review and make appropriate adjustments to the Service Levels include the provision of New Services, the introduction of new Equipment, Software, methodologies or procedures used to perform the Services, and the automatic adjustment to the Service Levels subject to Continuous Improvement in accordance with Section 4.2.

 

*** MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

 

     3    Exhibit B (Pro Forma)


  4.2 Continuous Improvement

 

(A) Certain of the Service Levels set forth in Schedule B-1 are designated as being subject to continuous improvement in accordance with this Section (“Continuous Improvement”). At a minimum, the Service Levels subject to Continuous Improvement will be modified each year commencing on the first anniversary of the Country Agreement Effective Date utilizing the following methodology: ***

 

(B) If the results of any benchmarking exercise conducted in accordance with Section 21.4 of the Country Agreement reveal that the then-current Service Levels are not within the levels specified in such Section, then, effective no later than *** days following the delivery of the applicable benchmarking report, the then-current Service Levels shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 21.4 of the Country Agreement, and the Parties shall amend Schedule B-1 to reflect such adjustment.

 

  5. COOPERATION AND EXCUSED PERFORMANCE

 

  5.1 Cooperation.

 

In order to meet the Service Levels, IBM Local Entity may be required to coordinate its efforts with those of IBM Local Entity’s subcontractors or service providers or with Federal-Mogul Local Entity Service Providers (collectively, “Third Party Service Providers”). With respect to KPI Defaults caused by Third Party Service Providers, (A) IBM Local Entity shall provide a single point of contact for the management of the prompt resolution of such KPI Defaults, and (B) IBM Local Entity’s failure to meet such Service Levels shall not be excused, and IBM Local Entity shall remain responsible for the performance of the Services in accordance with the Service Levels, except as set forth in Section 5.2.

 

  5.2 Excused Performance.

 

To the extent that IBM Local Entity demonstrates to Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s reasonable satisfaction that any KPI Default is directly attributable to: ***

 

  6. KPI CREDITS

 

  6.1 KPI Defaults.

 

(A) In the event that IBM Local Entity fails to meet the Minimum Service Level for any KPI during an applicable Measurement Window (each such event, a “KPI Default”), and such failure is not excused pursuant to Section 5.2, then a KPI Credit shall accrue to Federal-Mogul Local Entity, calculated in accordance with Section 6.4 and be reconciled and credited in accordance with Article 7.

 

(B) In the event that Federal-Mogul Local Entity becomes entitled to a KPI Credit, IBM Local Entity shall notify Federal-Mogul Local Entity of the applicable KPI Default and the corresponding KPI Credit, which notice shall be contained in the next Service Level Report.

 

  6.2 Multiple KPI Defaults.

 

(A) If more than one KPI Default has occurred within a single month, the sum of the corresponding KPI Credits shall be accrued by Federal-Mogul Local Entity pursuant to Section 6.1.

 

(B) If a single incident results in multiple KPI Defaults, as determined through IBM Local Entity’s root-cause analysis obligations pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Country Agreement, Federal-Mogul Local Entity shall be entitled to accrue only the single highest KPI Credit applicable to such incident under each applicable Country Agreement.

 

*** MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

 

     4    Exhibit B (Pro Forma)


(C) The maximum amount of KPI Credits Federal-Mogul Local Entity can accrue for KPI Defaults occurring during a single calendar month shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the At-Risk Amount.

 

  6.3 KPI Credit Percentage.

 

Federal-Mogul Local Entity shall allocate a KPI Credit Percentage to each of the KPIs; provided, however, that the total KPI Credit Percentages allocated among all KPIs shall not exceed, in the aggregate, *** percent. The KPI Credit Percentage allocations in effect as of the Country Agreement Effective Date are set forth in Schedule B-1, and Federal-Mogul Local Entity may reallocate such KPI Credit Percentage allocations during the term of the Country Agreement in accordance with Section 3.3.

 

  6.4 Calculation of KPI Credits.

 

For each KPI Default, IBM Local Entity shall pay to Federal-Mogul Local Entity a KPI Credit that will be computed in accordance with the following formula:

 

KPI Credit = A x B

 

Where:

 

A = allocated KPI Credit Percentage

 

B = At-Risk Amount

 

  6.5 Sample Calculation.

 

Assuming that (A) IBM Local Entity has failed to meet the Service Level for Payroll Timeliness during the prior calendar month; (B) Payroll Timeliness has been designated a KPI to which Federal-Mogul Local Entity has allocated a KPI Credit Percentage of *** percent; and (C) IBM Local Entity’s total Charges to Federal-Mogul Local Entity for such month are ***. The applicable KPI Credit would be computed as follows:

 

***

 

  7. KPI Credit Recovery

 

(A) On a Contact Year basis, IBM Local Entity shall have the opportunity to recover any KPI Credits accrued by Federal-Mogul Local Entity, if, for any KPI for which any KPI Default(s) occurs, IBM Local Entity achieves during the applicable Contract Year, a monthly average level of performance equal to or exceeding the Target Service Level for the applicable KPI (each a “KPI Credit Recovery”).

 

(B) If, during the ***months of the applicable Contract Year in which a KPI Default occurs, Federal-Mogul Local Entity deletes the applicable KPI, IBM Local Entity shall be relieved from paying any KPI Credits assessed for such KPI Default.

 

(C) If during the *** months of the applicable Contract Year in which a KPI Default occurs, Federal-Mogul Local Entity deletes the applicable KPI, IBM Local Entity shall have the opportunity to recover any KPI Credits assessed for such KPI Default if IBM achieves, for the months of the applicable Contract Year prior to Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s deletion of the KPI a monthly average level of performance equal to or exceeding the Target Service Level for the applicable KPI.

 

(D) The final disposition of KPI Credits and KPI Credit Recovery shall be reconciled within *** days following the completion of each Contract Year. Total KPI Credit Recovery realized during the Contract Year shall be subtracted from the total KPI Credits incurred during the Contract Year.

 

*** MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

 

     5    Exhibit B (Pro Forma)


(E) Upon receipt of each annual reconciliation, where such reconciliation results in a net credit owing Federal-Mogul Local Entity, Federal-Mogul Local Entity may, in its discretion and in accordance with Section 14.2 of the Country Agreement: (1) elect to collect such net credit; or (2) decline to collect such net credit.

 

(F) If the Country Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the term of the Country Agreement, the foregoing process shall be undertaken with respect to the portion of the Contract Year during which the Country Agreement was in effect.

 

(G) To the extent that Federal-Mogul Local Entity elects to collect any net credit in accordance with the foregoing, such credit will appear on the following month’s invoice.

IBM Local Entity shall include on each such invoice detail sufficient to enable Federal-Mogul Local Entity to validate the correct calculation and application of the ARCs and RRCs.

 

  4.5 Phase III Transition Project Adjustments.

 

Upon each Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, the Total Annual Forecasted Baseline Volumes (“AFBV”) for each Resource Unit shall be adjusted as follows:

 

(A) In the event that *** months of historical volume measurements are available for a Resource Unit prior to the applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, these volumes (each an “Actual Phase III AFBV”) shall be added to the existing AFBV under the Base Services (“Base Services AFBV”) and any prior-completed Phase III Wave to establish the revised Total Annual Forecasted Baseline Volumes (each a “Revised AFBV”). By way of example, following the Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date for Phase III Wave 2, the Revised AFBV shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 

Revised AFBV (by Resource Unit)

=

Base Services AFBV (by Resource Unit)

+

Actual Phase III Wave 1 AFBV (by Resource Unit)

+

Actual Phase III Wave 2 AFBV (by Resource Unit)

 

Immediately following each Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, the Parties shall agree to update Schedule C-2.1, Schedule C-2.3, Schedule C-2.4, and Schedule C-2.5 to reflect such Revised AFBV for each applicable Resource Unit. The Parties shall also use the agreed-upon Revised AFBV measurements to establish the revised Total Quarterly Forecasted Baseline Volumes (QFBV) for each applicable Resource Unit (each a “Revised QFBV”) and update Schedule C-2.1, Schedule C-2.3, Schedule C-2.4 and Schedule C-2.5 accordingly.

 

(B) In the event that *** months of historical volume measurements are not available for a Resource Unit prior to the applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, the Actual Phase III Wave AFBV will be established in accordance with the following:

 

(1) For a period of *** months (the “Validation Period”) following the applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, IBM Local Entity will measure and report the utilization volume for each applicable Resource Unit on a monthly basis;

 

*** MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

 

     5    Exhibit C (Pro Forma)


(2) Upon completion of the Validation Period for each applicable Resource Unit, the Parties shall agree on the appropriate Actual Phase III AFBV by extrapolating the six months of measured Resource Unit utilization volumes, taking into account other pertinent factors such as seasonality. Once an appropriate Actual Phase III AFBV is agreed, the Revised AFBV shall be established in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 4.5(A). The Parties agree to update Schedule C-2.1, Schedule C-2.3, Schedule C-2.4 and Schedule C-2.5 to reflect such Revised AFBV for each applicable Resource Unit in respect of each applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date. The Parties shall also use the agreed-upon Revised AFBV measurements to establish the revised Quarterly Forecasted Baseline Volumes for each applicable Resource Unit (each a “Revised QFBV”) and update Schedule C-2.1, Schedule C-2.3, Schedule C-2.4 and Schedule C-2.5 accordingly.

 

(3) During the Validation Period the Phase III Wave As-Sold MSC, as set forth in Schedule C-1.1, shall be charged on a monthly basis in addition to the Base Services MSC as set forth in Schedule C-1.2 and any previously completed Phase III Wave MSC (each, a “Revised Phase III Wave MSC”) as set forth in Schedule C-1.1.

 

(4) In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the appropriate Actual Phase III Wave AFBV pursuant to Section 4.5(B)(2), the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article 29 of the Country Agreement. While such dispute is being resolved, IBM Local Entity will continue to charge Federal-Mogul Local Entity on a monthly basis, the MSC including the Base Services MSC and any Revised Phase III Wave MSCs and the Phase III As-Sold MSC charged during the Validation Period.

 

(C) Pursuant to each Phase III Wave adjustment, the Revised AFBV established in accordance with this Section for each such Wave shall remain fixed and shall not be changed as part of any subsequent Phase III Wave adjustment.

 

  4.6 Phase III ASC and Resource Unit Rate Adjustments.

 

(A) Upon the establishment of the Revised AFBV for each Resource Unit and year in accordance with Section 4.5, the Resource Unit Rate for each applicable Resource Unit shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula (each a “Revised Resource Unit Rate”):

 

Revised Resource Unit Rate (by Resource Unit)

=

Revised ASC (by Resource Unit)/Revised AFBV (by Resource Unit)

 

where:

 

Revised ASC (by Resource Unit)

=

Base Services ASC (by Resource Unit)

+

[(Actual Phase III AFBV for Phase III Wave 1 (by Resource Unit)) * Phase III Wave RUR(Phase III Wave 1))]

+

[(Actual Phase III AFBV for Phase III Wave 2 (by Resource Unit) * Phase III Wave RUR(Phase III Wave 2))]

(if implemented))

+

(Actual Phase III AFBV for Phase III Wave 3 (by Resource Unit) * Phase III Wave RUR(Phase III Wave 3)]

(if implemented))

 

     6    Exhibit C (Pro Forma)


(B) The Resource Unit Rates set forth in Schedule C-1.5 for each Phase III Wave are based on the Phase III Wave Cut-Over dates set forth in Schedule C-1.5. To the extent such Phase III Wave Cut-Over Dates prove to be incorrect, the applicable Phase III Wave RURs shall be adjusted using the adjustment formula set forth in Schedule C-8 to reflect any advanced or delayed Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, without changing relative year-over-year pricing differences set forth in the Phase III Resource Unit Rates in Schedule C-1.5. By way of clarification, Schedule C-8 sets forth examples of the calculation of such Phase III Wave RUR adjustments.

 

(C) Following the calculation of the Revised Resource Unit Rate pursuant to this Section, Schedule C-1.4 shall be updated to reflect the revised ARC and RRC Unit Rates (Tier 1 and Tier 2) for each applicable Resource Unit.

 

(D) In the event that the Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date falls after the first business day of the quarter:

 

(1) The Resource Unit Rates in effect prior to the applicable Phase III Transition Project Charges adjustments shall be used for ARC and RRC calculations during the quarter that the applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date occurred.

 

(E) In the event that the Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date falls on the first business day of the quarter:

 

(1) The applicable Revised Resource Unit Rates shall be used for the calculation of ARC and RRC Charges for that quarter.

 

(F) On each Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date for Phase III Wave 1 and Phase III Wave 2 the Revised ASC shall be calculated per Section 4.6. The Phase III Wave MSC shall be calculated by dividing the Phase III Wave ASC by the number of months remaining in the calendar year. Subject to Section 4.5(B)(3), the Revised Monthly Service Charge shall be calculated using the following calculation;

 

Revised Monthly Service Charge

=

Base Services MSC

+

Revised Phase III Wave MSC for Phase III Wave 1

+

Revised Phase III Wave MSC for Phase III Wave 2 (if implemented)

+

Revised Phase III Wave MSC for Phase III Wave 3 (if implemented)

 

(G) On the Phase III Wave 3 Cut-Over Date, the Revised MSC shall be set for the remainder of the term of the Country Agreement and shall be charged monthly by dividing the total ASC for all Implementation Phases for each remaining calendar year of the term of the Country Agreement

 

     7    Exhibit C (Pro Forma)


by the corresponding number of months remaining in each calendar year of the term of the Country Agreement.

 

  4.7 Adjustment to the Charges Prior to the Commencement Date of the Base Services.

 

In the event that the number of Federal-Mogul Service Locations included in the Base Services changes (i.e., increases or decreases) prior to the Commencement Date, the AFBV, QFBV, ASC, Resource Unit Rates, ARCs and RRCs shall be adjusted using the ARC and RRC Rates for Base Services established in Schedule C-1.4.

 

  4.8 Exceeding Resource Baseline Tier 2 Boundaries.

 

In the event that Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s actual number of Resource Units is, or is reasonably expected to be *** percent greater or *** percent less than the applicable Quarterly Forecasted Baseline Volume for that Resource Unit, then either Party shall, within 15 business days after receiving written notice from the other Party of such occurrence, meet, negotiate and implement appropriate amendments to this Exhibit, including adjusting Annual Service Charges, the applicable AFBV and QFBV, Resource Unit Rates and the applicable ARC Unit Rates and RRC Unit Rates through the Change Control Procedure. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such matters within 30 days of either Party’s receipt of the notice provided for herein, then the matter shall be referred to dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of Article 29 of the Country Agreement. While such dispute is being resolved, IBM Local Entity will continue to calculate ARCs and RRCs at the existing ARC Unit Rates and RRC Unit Rates.

 

  5. T&E CHARGES

 

  5.1 T&E Legacy Charges.

 

For up to *** months following the Commencement Date (the “T&E Legacy Period”), IBM Local Entity shall, on a monthly basis, invoice Federal-Mogul Local Entity for the T&E Legacy Fixed Charge set forth in Schedule C-10 for the provision of the T&E Legacy System Services. Federal-Mogul Local Entity may, at any time prior to the expiration of the T&E Legacy Period, notify IBM Local Entity that the provision of the T&E Legacy System Services is no longer required and, upon such notification shall cease payment of the T&E Legacy Fixed Charges set forth in Schedule C-10 for the remaining months of the T&E Legacy Period.

  1.1 General.

 

The Termination/Expiration Assistance referenced in Section 27.7 of the Country Agreement is described in this Exhibit. IBM Local Entity shall provide the Termination/Expiration Assistance in a manner consistent with the requirements of this Exhibit; provided, however, that this Exhibit does not replace or supersede the specific Services requirements set forth in the Country Agreement, Exhibit A or the Policies and Procedures Guide.

 

  1.2 Federal-Mogul Local Entity Designee.

 

In the event that Federal-Mogul Local Entity designates a third party (“Designee”) to assume primary responsibility for the management of the post-termination/expiration transition of the Services, or for the provision of the Services following such transition, then, subject to Article 4, IBM Local Entity shall provide the Termination/Expiration Assistance to Federal-Mogul Local Entity or its Designee, and all references herein to receipt of Termination/Expiration Assistance by “Federal-Mogul Local Entity” shall be deemed to be references to “Designee” wherever Federal-Mogul Local Entity so directs.

 

  1.3 Definitions.

 

Capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit Z. Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit but not defined in Exhibit Z shall have the meanings set forth in the Master Agreement.

 

  2. INTRODUCTION

 

IBM Local Entity shall cooperate with Federal-Mogul Local Entity and provide the Termination/Expiration Assistance described in Section 27.7 of the Country Agreement and this Exhibit during the Termination/Expiration Assistance period (the “Termination/Expiration Assistance Period”) that is described in Section 27.7 of the Country Agreement. The purpose of the Termination/Expiration Assistance shall be (A) to allow Federal-Mogul Local Entity to obtain from another provider, or to provide for itself, services to substitute for or replace those provided by IBM Local Entity, and (B) to minimize any adverse effect of transferring the Services to Federal-Mogul Local Entity or to a new provider(s) selected by Federal-Mogul Local Entity.

 

  3. TERMINATION/EXPIRATION TRANSITION PLAN

 

IBM Local Entity will assist in the development of a plan for transition of the Services from IBM Local Entity to Federal-Mogul Local Entity (“Termination/Expiration Transition Plan” ), which assistance will include preparing that portion of the Termination/Expiration Transition Plan detailing IBM Local Entity’s responsibilities, including schedules and resource commitments. If Federal-Mogul Local Entity nominates a Designee to assume primary responsibility for the Services, IBM Local Entity will support Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s preparation and implementation of the Termination/Expiration Transition Plan by providing the Designee with information regarding the Services that may be reasonably required in connection with such plan and preparing that portion of the Termination/Expiration Transition Plan detailing IBM Local Entity’s responsibilities, including schedules and resource commitments. The Charges for the Termination/Expiration Assistance shall be calculated in accordance with Section 27.7 of the Country Agreement and Exhibit C.

 

     1    Exhibit K (Pro Forma)

Prior to providing Termination/Expiration Assistance to a Designee, IBM Local Entity will have the right to receive from such Designee written assurances that (A) the Designee will maintain at all times the confidentiality of any IBM Confidential Information disclosed or provided to, or learned by, such Designee in the course of receiving Termination/Expiration Assistance, (B) the Designee will use such Confidential Information solely for the purposes for which Federal-Mogul Local Entity is authorized to use such Confidential Information under the Country Agreement, (C) the Designee will not remove any such Confidential Information from Federal-Mogul Local Entity Service Locations or any other locations where the Services were provided during the term of the Country Agreement, and (D) the Designee shall cease using all of the IBM Confidential Information within *** months after IBM Local Entity ceases providing Termination/Expiration Assistance.

 

  5. ACCESS TO RESOURCES

 

In providing Termination/Expiration Assistance, and subject to IBM Local Entity’s ability to perform its obligations under the Country Agreement, including continuing to meet the Service Levels during the term of the Country Agreement, IBM Local Entity shall provide to Federal-Mogul Local Entity or its Designee, representatives, contractors and consultants access to and use of processes, procedures, Equipment, IP, personnel, third parties, and other resources that IBM Local Entity used to provide Services (collectively the “Resources”) for the sole purpose of transitioning the Services to Federal-Mogul Local Entity or its Designee, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IBM Local Entity will be under no obligation to provide the Designee with access to the Resources where such access would result in the Designee obtaining any confidential or proprietary information about any IBM Local Entity customer (other than Federal-Mogul Local Entity). IBM Local Entity’s obligation to make any IP available to any Designee will be subject to the provisions of Article 12 of the Country Agreement. IBM Local Entity also shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Federal-Mogul Local Entity or its Designee with reasonable information concerning such Resources. IBM Local Entity shall provide such access and information both prior to, and in connection with, the termination or expiration of the Country Agreement and during the Termination/Expiration Assistance Period.

 

  6. REMOVAL OF PROPERTY

 

During the Termination/Expiration Assistance Period, IBM Local Entity shall provide appropriate notice to Federal-Mogul Local Entity identifying any documents, Equipment, IP or other material that it intends to remove, prior to removing any such property from any Federal-Mogul Local Entity Service Location. Such identification shall be in sufficient detail to apprise Federal-Mogul Local Entity of the nature and ownership of such property. During the Termination/Expiration Assistance Period, IBM Local Entity shall only remove any property used to provide the Services from any of the Federal-Mogul Local Entity Service Locations in accordance with the agreed upon schedule set forth in the Termination/Expiration Transition Plan. IBM Local Entity shall comply with removal procedures reasonably established and provided in writing by Federal-Mogul Local Entity for removal of property from Federal-Mogul Local Entity Service Locations.

The Resource Pool for each Country Agreement shall be administered under each Primary Country Agreement for the Related Country Agreements.

 

(B) Each Primary Country Agreement Resource Pool shall consist of two separate skill categories: (1) general ledger accounting / payroll / treasury/ tax skills (“GL Skills”); and (2) all other Services-related skills (A/P, P-card, T&E, A/R) skills (“Other Skills”).

  2. RESOURCE POOL MANAGEMENT

 

(A) The Resource Pool hours for each year shall be managed on an annual basis, prorated for any partial calendar year during the Term. If the available Resource Pool person-hours under each Primary Country Agreement for either GL Skills or Other Skills are utilized prior to the end of a calendar year, further Federal-Mogul activity requests for that skill category will be subject to additional charge as approved through the Change Control Procedure, at the rates set forth in Schedule C-1 to the applicable Country Agreement. If the available Resource Pool person-hours under each Primary Country Agreement for either GL Skills or Other Skills are not fully utilized by the end of each year, the remaining person-hours will expire at the end of such calendar year.

 

(B) If Federal-Mogul utilizes more than *** percent of the average monthly number of person-hours under each Primary Country Agreement for either GL Skills or Other Skills in any ***, further Federal-Mogul activity requests for that skill category will be subject to additional charge as approved through the Change Control Procedure, at the rates set forth in Schedule C-1 to the applicable Country Agreement.

 

(C) The number of person-hours of GL Skills and Other Skills available for use by Federal-Mogul under each Primary Country Agreement shall be adjusted (increased or decreased) quarterly on a pro-rata basis based on any change to the total number of Equivalent Plant Ledgers for the Primary Country Agreement and Related Country Agreements when compared to the total number of Equivalent Plant Ledgers included in the Base Services for the Primary Country Agreement.

 

  3. REPRIORITIZATION

 

In addition to the Resource Pool, Federal-Mogul may reprioritize or reset the schedule for existing work activities to be performed by such IBM Personnel. Unless otherwise agreed, Federal-Mogul shall incur no additional Charges for the performance of such work activities by IBM Personnel then assigned to Federal-Mogul. IBM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such work activities without impacting the established schedule for other tasks or the performance of the Services in accordance with the Service Levels. If it is not possible to avoid such an impact, IBM shall notify Federal-Mogul of the anticipated impact and obtain its consent prior to proceeding with such work activities. Federal-Mogul, in its sole discretion, may forego or delay such work activities or temporarily adjust the work to be performed by IBM, the schedules associated therewith or the Service Levels to permit the performance by IBM of such work activities.
