(b) Committee Meetings.  The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting of the Committee at which a quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by a majority of the entire Committee, shall be the acts of the Committee for purposes of the Plan.  If and to the extent applicable, no member of the Committee may act as to matters under the Plan specifically relating to such member.

 

(c) Grant of Awards.

 

	
(i)  

	
The Committee shall from time to time at its discretion select the Eligible Persons who are to be issued Grants and determine the number and type of Grants to be issued under any Award Agreement to an Eligible Person.  In particular, the Committee shall (A) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Grants awarded hereunder (including, but not limited to the performance goals and periods applicable to the award of Grants); (B) determine the time or times when and the manner and condition in which each Option shall be exercisable and the duration of the exercise period; and (C) determine or impose other conditions to the Grant or exercise of Options under the Plan as it may deem appropriate.

DERs will be exercisable separately or together with Options, and paid in cash or other consideration at such times and in accordance with such rules, as the Committee shall determine in its discretion.  Unless expressly provided hereunder, the Committee, with respect to any Grant, may exercise its discretion hereunder at the time of the award or thereafter.  The Committee shall have the right and responsibility to interpret the Plan and the interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any Grant thereunder, including, without limitation, in the event of a dispute, shall be final and binding on all Grantees and other persons to the maximum extent permitted by law.  Without limiting the generality of Section 23, no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Grant hereunder.

 

  

  

  

	
(ii)  

	
Notwithstanding clause (i) of this Section 4(c), any award under the Plan to an Eligible Person who is a member of the Committee shall be made by the full Board, but for these purposes the directors of the Corporation who are on the Committee shall be required to be recused in respect of such awards and shall not be permitted to vote.

 

(d) Awards.

 

	
(i)  

	
Agreements.  Grants to Eligible Persons shall be evidenced by written Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall from time to time determine (which Award Agreements need not be in the same form as any other Award Agreement evidencing Grants under the Plan and need not contain terms and conditions identical to those applicable to any other Grant under the Plan or to those applicable to any other Eligible Persons).  Such Award Agreements shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

	
(ii)  

	
Number of Shares.  Each Grant issued to an Eligible Person shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains or which otherwise underlie the Grant and shall provide for the adjustment thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 hereof.

 

	
(iii)  

	
Grants.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and consistent with the Company's intention for the Committee to exercise the greatest permissible flexibility under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act in awarding Grants, the Committee shall have the power:

 

	
(1)  

	
to determine from time to time the Grants to be issued to Eligible Persons under the Plan and to prescribe the terms and provisions (which need not be identical) of Grants issued under the Plan to such persons;

 

	
(2)  

	
to construe and interpret the Plan and the Grants thereunder and to establish, amend and revoke the rules, regulations and procedures established for the administration of the Plan.  In this connection, the Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, in any Award Agreement, or in any related agreements, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.  All decisions and determinations by the Committee in the exercise of this power shall be final and binding upon the Participating Companies and the Grantees;

 

	
(3)  

	
to amend any outstanding Grant, subject to Section 17, and to accelerate or extend the vesting or exercisability of any Grant (in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, if applicable) and to waive conditions or restrictions on any Grants, to the extent it shall deem appropriate; and

 

	
(4)  

	
generally to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as are deemed necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company with respect to the Plan.

 

 

(e) Cancellation or Suspension.  Notwithstanding any other terms of the Plan (other than Section 7(h)), an Award Agreement or a Grant, the Committee or an appropriately delegated person or persons, in its or their sole discretion, shall have full power and authority to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances any Grant or any portion thereof shall be cancelled or suspended and may cancel or suspend any Grant or any portion thereof.  In particular, but without limitation, all or any portion of an outstanding Grant to any Eligible Person may be canceled or suspended if the Eligible Person (i) in the sole discretion of the Committee or any appropriately delegated person or persons, materially breaches (A) any duties of the Eligible Person's employment (whether express or implied), including without limitation the Eligible Person's duties of fidelity, good faith and exclusive service, (B) any general terms and conditions of the Eligible Person's employment such as an employee handbook or guidelines, (C) any policies and procedures of the Company, a Participating Company or a Subsidiary applicable to the Eligible Person, or (D) any other agreement regarding an Eligible Person's employment with the Company, a Participating Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) without the consent of the Committee or any appropriately delegated person or persons (which consent may be granted or denied in the sole discretion of the Committee or such person or persons), while employed by, or providing services to, the Company, a Participating Company or a Subsidiary or after a Termination of Service, becomes associated with, employed by, renders services to, or owns any interest in (other than any nonsubstantial interest, as determined by the Committee or any appropriately delegated person or persons in its or their sole discretion), any business that is in competition with the Company, a Participating Company or a Subsidiary or with any business in which the Company, a Participating Company or a Subsidiary has a substantial interest, as determined by the Committee or any appropriately delegated person or persons in its or their sole discretion

 

  

  

  

5. PARTICIPATION.

 

(a) Eligibility.  Only Eligible Persons shall be eligible to receive Grants under the Plan.

 

(b) Limitation of Ownership.  No Grants shall be issued under the Plan to any person who after such Grant would beneficially own more than 9.8% by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or 9.8% by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, unless the foregoing restriction is expressly and specifically waived by action of the independent directors of the Board.

 

(c) Stock Ownership.  For purposes of Section 5(b) above, in determining stock ownership a Grantee shall be considered as owning the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his brothers, sisters, spouses, ancestors and lineal descendants.  Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be considered as being owned proportionately by or for its stockholders, partners or beneficiaries.  Stock with respect to which any person holds an Option shall be considered to be owned by such person.

 

(d) Outstanding Stock.  For purposes of Section 5(b) above, "outstanding shares" shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the issue of the Grant to the Grantee.  With respect to the stock ownership of any Grantee, "outstanding shares" shall include shares authorized for issue under outstanding Options held by such Grantee, but not options held by any other person.

 

6. STOCK.  Subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 15, Grants with respect to an aggregate of no more than 40 million Shares may be granted under the Plan (all of which may be issued as Options); provided, that no Grant may cause the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to all outstanding awards to exceed 6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (assuming, if applicable, the exercise of all outstanding Options and the conversion of all warrants, OP Units and convertible securities into shares of Common Stock).  Subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 15, (i) the maximum number of Shares with respect to which any Options may be granted in any one year to any Grantee shall not exceed 700,000, and (ii) the maximum number of Shares that may underlie Grants, other than Grants of Options, in any one year to any Grantee shall not exceed 700,000.  Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6, (i) Shares that have been granted as Restricted Stock or that have been reserved for distribution in payment for Options or Phantom Shares but are later forfeited or for any other reason are not payable under the Plan; (ii) Shares as to which an Option is granted under the Plan that remains unexercised at the expiration, forfeiture or other termination of such Option; and (iii) Shares withheld to satisfy all or part of any tax withholding obligation related to a grant of Restricted Stock or Phantom Shares, may be the subject of the issue of further Grants.  For the avoidance of doubt, Shares that are tendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of Options or other stock rights or to satisfy all or part of any tax withholding obligation related to such an Option or such other stock rights shall be counted as Shares that were issued.  Shares of Common Stock issued hereunder may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or previously issued Shares under the Plan.  The certificates for Shares issued hereunder may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer hereunder or under the Award Agreement, or as the Committee may otherwise deem appropriate.  Shares subject to DERs, other than DERs based directly on the dividends payable with respect to Shares subject to Options or the dividends payable on a number of Shares corresponding to the number of Phantom Shares awarded, shall be subject to the limitation of this Section 6.  Notwithstanding the limitations above in this Section 6, except in the case of Grants intended to qualify for relief from the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, there shall be no limit on the number of Phantom Shares or DERs to the extent they are paid out in cash that may be granted under the Plan.  If any Phantom Shares or DERs are paid out in cash, the underlying Shares may again be made the subject of Grants under the Plan, notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6.

 

  

  

  

7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

 

(a) Each Award Agreement with an Eligible Person shall state the Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price for any Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of Grant.

 

(b) Medium and Time of Payment.  Except as may otherwise be provided below, the Purchase Price for each Option granted to an Eligible Person shall be payable in full in United States dollars upon the exercise of the Option.  In the event the Company determines that it is required to withhold taxes as a result of the exercise of an Option, as a condition to the exercise thereof, an Employee may be required to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy such withholding requirements in accordance with Section 21.  If the applicable Award Agreement so provides, or the Committee otherwise so permits, the Purchase Price may be paid in one or a combination of the following:

 

	
(i)  

	
by a certified or bank cashier's check;

 

	
(ii)  

	
by the surrender of shares of Common Stock in good form for transfer, owned by the person exercising the Option and having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Purchase Price, or in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as long as the sum of the cash so paid and the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock so surrendered equals the Purchase Price;

 

	
(iii)  

	
by cancellation of indebtedness owed by the Company to the Grantee;

 

	
(iv)  

	
subject to Section 17(e), by a loan or extension of credit from the Company evidenced by a full recourse promissory note executed by the Grantee.  The interest rate and other terms and conditions of such note shall be determined by the Committee (in which case the Committee may require that the Grantee pledge his or her Shares to the Company for the purpose of securing the payment of such note, and in no event shall the stock certificate(s) representing such Shares be released to the Grantee until such note shall have been paid in full); or

 

	
(v)  

	
by any combination of such methods of payment or any other method acceptable to the Committee in its discretion.

 

Except in the case of Options exercised by certified or bank cashier's check, the Committee may impose such limitations and prohibitions on the exercise of Options as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, any limitation or prohibition designed to avoid accounting consequences which may result from the use of Common Stock as payment upon exercise of an Option.  Any fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from a Grantee's election that are accepted by the Company shall in the discretion of the Committee be paid in cash.

 

  

  

  

(c) Term and Nontransferability of Grants and Options.

(iii)  

	
No Option shall be assignable or transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution of the state wherein the Grantee is domiciled at the time of his death; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers, where the Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option to fail to be described in Section 422(b) of the Code and (iii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable.

 

	
(iv)  

	
No Option shall be exercisable before the expiration of one year from the date the Option is granted or until such later time as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement (but in no event after the expiration of such Grant).

 

	
(v)  

	
The Committee may not modify, extend or renew any Option granted to any Eligible Person unless such modification, extension or renewal shall satisfy any and all applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.  The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option previously granted.

 

(d) Termination of Service, Except by Death, Retirement or Disability.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon any Termination of Service for any reason other than his or her death, Retirement or Disability, an Optionee shall have the right, subject to the restrictions of Section 4(c) above, to exercise his or her Option at any time within three months after Termination of Service, but only to the extent that, at the date of Termination of Service, the Optionee's right to exercise such Option had accrued pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and had not previously been exercised; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if there occurs a Termination of Service by a Participating Company for Cause or a Termination of Service by the Optionee (other than on account of death, Retirement or Disability), any Option not exercised in full prior to such termination shall be canceled.

 

(e) Death of Optionee.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if the Optionee of an Option dies while an Eligible Person or within three months after any Termination of Service other than for Cause or a Termination of Service by the Optionee (other than on account of death, Retirement or Disability), and has not fully exercised the Option, then the Option may be exercised in full, subject to the restrictions of Section 4(c) above, at any time within 12 months after the Optionee's death, by the Successor of the Optionee, but only to the extent that, at the date of death, the Optionee's right to exercise such Option had accrued and had not been forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement and had not previously been exercised.

 

(f) Disability or Retirement of Optionee.  Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, upon any Termination of Service for reason of his or her Disability or Retirement, an Optionee shall have the right, subject to the restrictions of Section 4(c) above, to exercise the Option at any time within 24 months after Termination of Service, but only to the extent that, at the date of Termination of Service, the Optionee's right to exercise such Option had accrued pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and had not previously been exercised.

 

  

  

  

(g) Rights as a Stockholder.  An Optionee, a Successor of the Optionee, or the holder of a DER shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Grant until, in the case of an Optionee, the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares.  No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 15.

 

(h) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Option.  Within the limitations of the Plan, and only with respect to Options granted to Eligible Persons, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options or accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (to the extent not previously exercised) for the granting of new Options in substitution therefor (but not including repricings, in the absence of stockholder approval).  The Committee may modify, extend or renew any Option granted to any Eligible Person, unless such modification, extension or renewal would not satisfy any applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 409A of the Code.  The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option previously granted.

 

(i) Settlement of Options.  The Committee, in its discretion, may (taking into account, without limitation, the application of Section 409A of the Code, as the Committee may deem appropriate), also permit the Optionee to elect to exercise an Option by receiving Shares, cash or a combination thereof, in the discretion of the Committee and as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, with an aggregate Fair Market Value (or, to the extent of payment in cash, in an amount) equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised over the aggregate Purchase Price, as determined as of the day the Option is exercised.

 

(j) Deferral.  The Committee may establish a program (taking into account, without limitation, the application of Section 409A of the Code, as the Committee may deem appropriate) under which Optionees will have Phantom Shares subject to Section 10 credited upon their exercise of Options, rather than receiving Shares at that time.

 

(k) Other Provisions.  The Award Agreement authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan (including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Option) as the Committee shall deem advisable.

 

(l) Prohibition on Repricing.  No Cash Buyouts.  The exercise price of outstanding Options may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of such Options, nor may outstanding Options be canceled in exchange for (i) cash, (ii) Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original outstanding Options or (iii) other awards, unless in each case such action is approved by the Company’s shareholders.

 

(m) Prohibition on Reloads.  Options shall not be granted under the Plan in consideration for and shall not be conditioned on delivery of Shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or any tax withholding obligation under any other stock option, stock appreciation right or other award.

 

  

  

  

 

8. SPECIAL RULES FOR INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.

 

(a) In the case of Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of the Grant thereof) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable by any Optionee for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans) required to be taken into account under Section 422(d) of the Code shall not exceed $100,000.

 

(b) In the case of an individual described in Section 422(b)(6) of the Code (relating to certain 10% owners), the Exercise Price with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day the Option is granted and the term of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.

 

(c) If Shares acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of in a disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code by an Optionee prior to the expiration of either two years from the date of grant of such Option or one year from the transfer of Shares to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of such Option, or in any other disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, such Optionee shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable thereafter of the date and terms of such disposition and, if the Company thereupon has a tax-withholding obligation, shall pay to the Company an amount equal to any withholding tax the Company is required to pay as a result of the disqualifying disposition.

 

9. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO RESTRICTED STOCK.

 

(a) Vesting Periods.  In connection with the grant of Restricted Stock, whether or not Performance Goals apply thereto, the Committee shall establish one or more vesting periods with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock granted, the length of which shall generally be determined in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that except with respect to the death, Disability or involuntary termination (other than for Cause or unsatisfactory performance) of a Grantee, or the occurrence of a corporate transaction (including but not limited to, a Change of Control) or special circumstances determined by the Committee, a grant of Restricted Stock subject solely to the continued service of an Employee or other Grantee shall have a vesting period of not less than two years from the date of grant (but permitting pro rata vesting over such time).  Subject to the provisions of this Section 9, the applicable Award Agreement and the other provisions of the Plan, restrictions on Restricted Stock shall lapse if the Grantee satisfies all applicable employment or other service requirements through the end of the applicable vesting period.

 

(b) Grant of Restricted Stock.  Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Committee may, in its discretion as reflected by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement:  (i) authorize the granting of Restricted Stock to Eligible Persons; (ii) provide a specified purchase price for the Restricted Stock (whether or not the payment of a purchase price is required by any state law applicable to the Company); (iii) determine the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock and (iv) determine or impose other conditions to the grant of Restricted Stock under the Plan as it may deem appropriate.

 

(c) Certificates.

 

	
(i)  

	
Each Grantee of Restricted Stock may be issued a stock certificate in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan.  Any such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Grantee.  Without limiting the generality of Section 6, in addition to any legend that might otherwise be required by the Board or the Company's charter, bylaws or other applicable documents, the certificates for Shares of Restricted Stock issued hereunder may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer hereunder or under the applicable Award Agreement, or as the Committee may otherwise deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall bear a legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Grant, substantially in the following form:

 

  

  

  

THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF THE INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC. 2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, AND AN AWARD AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC. COPIES OF SUCH PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICES OF INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC. AT 1555 PEACHTREE STREET, NE, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, 30309.

 

	
(ii)  

	
The Committee shall require that any stock certificates evidencing such Shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions hereunder shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any grant of Restricted Stock, the Grantee shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the stock covered by such Grant.  If and when such restrictions so lapse, the stock certificates shall be delivered by the Company to the Grantee or his or her designee as provided in Section 9(d).

 

(d) Restrictions and Conditions.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions:

 

	
(i)  

	
Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, during a period commencing with the date of such Grant and ending on the date the period of forfeiture with respect to such Shares lapses, the Grantee shall not be permitted voluntarily or involuntarily to sell, transfer, pledge, anticipate, alienate, encumber or assign Shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan (or have such Shares attached or garnished).  Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement and clauses (iii) and (iv) below, the period of forfeiture with respect to Shares granted hereunder shall lapse as provided in the applicable Award Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee, the period of forfeiture with respect to such Shares shall only lapse as to whole Shares.

 

	
(ii)  

	
Except as provided in the foregoing clause (i), below in this clause (ii), or in Section 15, the Grantee shall have, in respect of the Shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Shares; provided, however, that cash dividends on such Shares shall, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, be held by the Company (unsegregated as a part of its general assets) until the period of forfeiture lapses (and forfeited if the underlying Shares are forfeited), and paid over to the Grantee as soon as practicable after such period lapses (if not forfeited).  Certificates for Shares (not subject to restrictions hereunder) shall be delivered to the Grantee or his or her designee promptly after, and only after, the period of forfeiture shall lapse without forfeiture in respect of such Shares of Restricted Stock.

 

	
(iii)  

	
Termination of Service, Except by Death, Retirement or Disability.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and subject to clause (iv) below, if the Grantee has a Termination of Service for Cause or by the Grantee for any reason other than his or her death, Retirement or Disability, during the applicable period of forfeiture, then (A) all Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall thereupon, and with no further action, be forfeited by the Grantee, and (B) the Company shall pay to the Grantee as soon as practicable (and in no event more than 30 days) after such termination an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount paid by the Grantee for such forfeited Restricted Stock as contemplated by Section 9(b), and (y) the Fair Market Value on the date of termination of the forfeited Restricted Stock.

 

	
(iv)  

	
Death, Disability or Retirement of Grantee.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event the Grantee has a Termination of Service on account of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, or the Grantee has a Termination of Service by the Company for any reason other than for Cause, during the applicable period of forfeiture, then restrictions under the Plan will immediately lapse on all Restricted Stock granted to the applicable Grantee.

 

  

  

  

10. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO PHANTOM SHARES.

 

(a) Grant of Phantom Shares.  Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Committee shall, in its discretion as reflected by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement:  (i) authorize the Granting of Phantom Shares to Eligible Persons and (ii) determine or impose other conditions to the grant of Phantom Shares under the Plan as it may deem appropriate.

 

(b) Term.  The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that any particular Phantom Share shall expire at the end of a specified term.

 

(c) Vesting.

 

	
(i)  

	
Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement and Sections 10(c)(ii) and (iii), Phantom Shares shall vest as provided in the applicable Award Agreement.

 

	
(ii)  

	
Except with respect to the death, Disability or involuntary termination (other than for Cause or unsatisfactory performance) of a Grantee, or the occurrence of a corporate transaction (including but not limited to, a Change of Control) or special circumstances determined by the Committee, a grant of Phantom Shares subject solely to the continued service of an Employee or other Grantee shall have a vesting period of not less than two years from the date of grant (but permitting pro rata vesting over such time).

 

	
(iii)  

	
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in an applicable Award Agreement, and subject to Section 10(c)(ii), the Phantom Shares granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following vesting conditions:

 

	
(1)  

	
Termination of Service for Cause.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement and subject to clause (2) below, if the Grantee has a Termination of Service for Cause, all of the Grantee's Phantom Shares (whether or not such Phantom Shares are otherwise vested) shall thereupon, and with no further action, be forfeited by the Grantee and cease to be outstanding, and no payments shall be made with respect to such forfeited Phantom Shares.

 

	
(2)  

	
Termination of Service for Death, Disability or Retirement of Grantee or by the Company for Any Reason Other than Cause.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event the Grantee has a Termination of Service on account of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, or the Grantee has a Termination of Service by the Company for any reason other than Cause, all outstanding Phantom Shares granted to such Grantee shall become immediately vested.

 

	
(3)  

	
Except as contemplated above, in the event that a Grantee has a Termination of Service, any and all of the Grantee's Phantom Shares which have not vested prior to or as of such termination shall thereupon, and with no further action, be forfeited and cease to be outstanding, and the Grantee's vested Phantom Shares shall be settled as set forth in Section 10(d).

 

(d) Settlement of Phantom Shares.

 

	
(i)  

	
Each vested and outstanding Phantom Share shall be settled by the transfer to the Grantee of one Share; provided, however, that, the Committee at the time of grant (or, in the appropriate case, as determined by the Committee, thereafter) may provide that a Phantom Share may be settled (A) in cash at the applicable Phantom Share Value, (B) in cash or by transfer of Shares as elected by the Grantee in accordance with procedures established by the Committee or (C) in cash or by transfer of Shares as elected by the Company.

 

	
(ii)  

	
Each Phantom Share shall be settled with a single-sum payment by the Company; provided, however, that, with respect to Phantom Shares of a Grantee which have a common Settlement Date (as defined below), the Committee may permit the Grantee to elect in accordance with procedures established by the Committee (taking into account, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, as the Committee may deem appropriate) to receive installment payments over a period not to exceed 10 years.

 

  

  

  

	
(iii)  

	
(1)           The settlement date with respect to a Grantee is the first day of the month to follow the Grantee's Termination of Service ("Settlement Date"); provided, however, that a Grantee may elect, in accordance with procedures to be adopted by the Committee, that such Settlement Date will be deferred as elected by the Grantee to a time permitted by the Committee under procedures to be established by the Committee.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, elections under this Section 10(d)(iii)(1) must be made at least six months before, and in the year prior to the year in which, the Settlement Date would occur in the absence of such election.

 

	
(2)  

	
Notwithstanding Section 10(d)(iii)(1), the Committee may provide that distributions of Phantom Shares can be elected at any time in those cases in which the Phantom Share Value is determined by reference to Fair Market Value to the extent in excess of a base value, rather than by reference to unreduced Fair Market Value.

 

	
(3)  

	
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Settlement Date, if not earlier pursuant to this Section 10(d)(iii), is the date of the Grantee's death.

 

	
(iv)  

	
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan (taking into account, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, as the Committee may deem appropriate), a Grantee may receive any amounts to be paid in installments as provided in Section 10(d)(ii) or deferred by the Grantee as provided in Section 10(d)(iii) in the event of an "Unforeseeable Emergency."  For these purposes, an "Unforeseeable Emergency," as determined by the Committee (taking into account, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, as the Committee may deem appropriate) in its sole discretion, is a severe financial hardship to the Grantee resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Grantee or "dependent," as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code, loss of the Grantee's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Grantee.  The circumstances that will constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case, payment may not be made to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved:

 

	
(1)  

	
through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

 

	
(2)  

	
by liquidation of the Grantee's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or

 

	
(3)  

	
by future cessation of the making of additional deferrals under Section 10(d)(ii) and (iii).

 

Without limitation, the need to send a Grantee's child to college or the desire to purchase a home shall not constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency.  Distributions of amounts because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be permitted to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency need.

 

(e) Other Phantom Share Provisions.

 

	
(i)  

	
Rights to payments with respect to Phantom Shares granted under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process, either voluntary or involuntary; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, attach or garnish, or levy or execute on any right to payments or other benefits payable hereunder, shall be void.

 

	
(ii)  

	
In the event of a Grantee's death, payments hereunder shall be made to the person(s) or trust(s) entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to receive any amounts payable on behalf of the Grantee following the Grantee's death.  If a Grantee with a vested Phantom Share dies, such Phantom Share shall be settled and the Phantom Share Value in respect of such Phantom Shares paid, and any payments deferred pursuant to an election under Section 10(d)(iii) shall be accelerated and paid, as soon as practicable (but no later than 60 days) after the date of death to such person(s) or trust(s), as applicable.

 

	
(iii)  

	
The Committee may (taking into account, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, as the Committee may deem appropriate) establish a program under which distributions with respect to Phantom Shares may be deferred for periods in addition to those otherwise contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.  Such program may include, without limitation, provisions for the crediting of earnings and losses on unpaid amounts and, if permitted by the Committee, provisions under which Grantees may select from among hypothetical investment alternatives for such deferred amounts in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.

 

	
(iv)  

	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, any fractional Phantom Share will be paid out in cash at the Phantom Share Value as of the Settlement Date.

 

	
(v)  

	
No Phantom Share shall give any Grantee any rights with respect to Shares or any ownership interest in the Company.  Except as may be provided in accordance with Section 11, no provision of the Plan shall be interpreted to confer upon any Grantee of a Phantom Share any voting, dividend or derivative or other similar rights with respect to any Phantom Share.

 

  

  

  

(f) Claims Procedures.

 

	
(i)  

	
The Grantee, or his beneficiary hereunder or authorized representative, may file a claim for payments with respect to Phantom Shares under the Plan by written communication to the Committee or its designee.  A claim is not considered filed until such communication is actually received.  Within 90 days (or, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, 180 days, in which case notice of such special circumstances should be provided within the initial 90-day period) after the filing of the claim, the Committee will either:

 

	
(1)  

	
approve the claim and take appropriate steps for satisfaction of the claim; or

 

	
(2)  

	
if the claim is wholly or partially denied, advise the claimant of such denial by furnishing to him or her a written notice of such denial setting forth (A) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (B) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based and, if the denial is based in whole or in part on any rule of construction or interpretation adopted by the Committee, a reference to such rule, a copy of which shall be provided to the claimant; (C) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of the reasons why such material or information is necessary; and (D) a reference to this Section 10(f) as the provision setting forth the claims procedure under the Plan.

 

	
(ii)  

	
The claimant may request a review of any denial of his or her claim by written application to the Committee within 60 days after receipt of the notice of denial of such claim.  Within 60 days (or, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, 120 days, in which case notice of such special circumstances should be provided within the initial 60-day period) after receipt of written application for review, the Committee will provide the claimant with its decision in writing, including, if the claimant's claim is not approved, specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

 

11. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS.

 

(a) Grant of DERs.  Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Committee shall, in its discretion as reflected by the terms of the Award Agreements, authorize the granting of DERs to Eligible Persons based on the dividends declared on Common Stock, to be credited as of the dividend payment dates, during the period between the date a Grant is issued, and the date such Grant is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Committee.  Such DERs shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitation as may be determined by the Committee.  With respect to DERs granted with respect to Options intended to be qualified performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, such DERs shall be payable regardless of whether such Option is exercised.  If a DER is granted in respect of another Grant hereunder, then, unless otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, or, in the appropriate case, as determined by the Committee, in no event shall the DER be in effect for a period beyond the time during which the applicable related portion of the underlying Grant has been exercised or otherwise settled, or has expired, been forfeited or otherwise lapsed, as applicable.

 

(b) Certain Terms.

 

	
(i)  

	
The term of a DER shall be set by the Committee in its discretion.

 

	
(ii)  

	
Payment of the amount determined in accordance with Section 11(a) shall be in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of the both, as determined by the Committee at the time of grant.

 

(c) Other Types of DERs.  The Committee may establish a program under which DERs of a type whether or not described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 11 may be granted to Eligible Persons.  For example, without limitation, the Committee may grant a DER in respect of each Share subject to an Option or with respect to a Phantom Share, which right would consist of the right (subject to Section 11(d)) to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the dividend distributions paid on a Share from time to time.

 

(d) Deferral.

 

	
(i)  

	
The Committee may (taking into account, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, as the Committee may deem appropriate) establish a program under which Grantees (i) will have Phantom Shares credited, subject to the terms of Sections 10(d) and 10(e) as though directly applicable with respect thereto, upon the granting of DERs, or (ii) will have payments with respect to DERs deferred.

 

	
(ii)  

	
The Committee may establish a program under which distributions with respect to DERs may be deferred.  Such program may include, without limitation, provisions for the crediting of earnings and losses on unpaid amounts, and, if permitted by the Committee, provisions under which Grantees may select from among hypothetical investment alternatives for such deferred amounts in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.

 

  

  

  

12. OTHER EQUITY-BASED AWARDS.  The Board shall have the right (i) to issue other Grants based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of Shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of Partnership Units based upon certain conditions and the grant of securities convertible into Common Stock, and (ii) to grant interests (which may be expressed as units or otherwise) in IAS Operating Partnership, LP.

 

13. PERFORMANCE GOALS.  The Committee, in its discretion, shall in the case of Grants (including, in particular, Grants other than Options) intended to qualify for an exception from the limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code ("Performance-Based Grants") (i) establish one or more performance goals ("Performance Goals") as a precondition to the issue of Grants, and (ii) provide, in connection with the establishment of the Performance Goals, for predetermined Grants to those Grantees (who continue to meet all applicable eligibility requirements) with respect to whom the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied.  The Performance Goals shall be based upon the criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto which is hereby incorporated herein by reference as though set forth in full.  The Performance Goals shall be established in a timely fashion such that they are considered preestablished for purposes of the rules governing performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.  Prior to the award of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Committee shall have certified that any applicable Performance Goals, and other material terms of the Grant, have been satisfied.  Performance Goals which do not satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 13 may be established by the Committee with respect to Grants not intended to qualify for an exception from the limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

14. TERM OF PLAN.  Grants may be granted pursuant to the Plan until the expiration of 10 years from the effective date of the Plan.

 

15. RECAPITALIZATION AND CHANGES OF CONTROL.

 

(a) Subject to any required action by stockholders and to the specific provisions of Section 16, if (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or a transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or any separation, spinoff or other distribution to holders of Common Stock other than cash dividends, shall occur or (iii) any other event shall occur which in the judgment of the Committee necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of the outstanding Grants, whether involving the Company, a Participating Company, a Subsidiary or a business segment of any of them, then:

 

	
(i)  

	
the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be made subject to Options and DERs under the Plan, the maximum aggregate number and kind of Shares of Restricted Stock that may be granted under the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Phantom Shares and other Grants which may be granted under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee in its discretion;

 

	
(ii)  

	
the Committee shall take any such action as in its discretion shall be necessary to maintain each Grantees' rights hereunder (including under their applicable Award Agreements) so that they are, in their respective Options, Phantom Shares and DERs (and, as appropriate, other Grants under Section 12), substantially proportionate to the rights existing in such Options, Phantom Shares and DERs (and other Grants under Section 12) prior to such event, including, without limitation, adjustments in (A) the number of Options, Phantom Shares and DERs (and other Grants under Section 12) granted, (B) the number and kind of shares or other property to be distributed in respect of Options, Phantom Shares and DERs (and other Grants under Section 12, as applicable, (C) the Exercise Price, Purchase Price and Phantom Share Value, and (D) performance-based criteria established in connection with Grants (to the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, as applicable); provided that, in the discretion of the Committee, the foregoing clause (D) may also be applied in the case of any event relating to a Subsidiary if the event would have been covered under this Section 15(a) had the event related to the Company; and

 

	
(iii)  

	
in connection with a separation, spinoff or other similar event, the Committee or the Board may arrange for the assumption of Grants, or replacement of Grants with new awards based on securities or other property (including, without limitation, other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company), by the affected Participating Company, Subsidiary, or business segment or by the entity that controls such Participating Company, Subsidiary, or business segment following such event (as well as any corresponding adjustments to Grants that remain based upon Company securities).

 

  

  

  

To the extent that such action shall include an increase or decrease in the number of Shares (or units of other property then available) subject to all outstanding Grants, the number of Shares (or units) available under Section 6 above shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, proportionately.

 

(b) Any Shares or other securities distributed to a Grantee with respect to Restricted Stock or otherwise issued in substitution of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Section 15 shall be subject to the restrictions and requirements imposed by Section 9, including depositing the certificates therefor with the Company together with a stock power and bearing a legend as provided in Section 9(c)(i).

 

(c) If the Company shall be consolidated or merged with another corporation or other entity, each Grantee who has received Restricted Stock that is then subject to restrictions imposed by Section 9(d) may be required to deposit with the successor corporation the certificates for the stock or securities or the other property that the Grantee is entitled to receive by reason of ownership of Restricted Stock in a manner consistent with Section 9(c)(ii), and such stock, securities or other property shall become subject to the restrictions and requirements imposed by Section 9(d), and the certificates therefor or other evidence thereof shall bear a legend similar in form and substance to the legend set forth in Section 9(c)(i).

 

(d) The judgment of the Committee with respect to any matter referred to in this Section 15 shall be conclusive and binding upon each Grantee without the need for any amendment to the Plan.

 

(e) Subject to any required action by stockholders, if the Company is the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation, the rights under any outstanding Grant shall pertain and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to the Grant would have been entitled.  Subject to the terms of any applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, the date of exercisability of each outstanding Option and settling of each Phantom Share or, as applicable, other Grant under Section 12, shall be accelerated to a date prior to such merger or consolidation, unless the agreement of merger or consolidation provides for the assumption of the Grant by the successor to the Company.

 

(f) To the extent that the foregoing adjustment related to securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

 

(g) Except as expressly provided in this Section 15, a Grantee shall have no rights by reason of subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another corporation, and any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to a Grant or the Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option.

 

(h) Grants made pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business assets.

 

(i) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control:

 

	
(i)  

	
The Committee as constituted immediately before the Change of Control may make such adjustments as it, in its discretion, determines are necessary or appropriate in light of the Change of Control (including, without limitation, the substitution of stock other than stock of the Company as the stock optioned hereunder, and the acceleration of the exercisability of the Options and settling of each Phantom Share or, as applicable, other Grant under Section 12), provided that the Committee determines that such adjustments do not have a substantial adverse economic impact on the Grantee as determined at the time of the adjustments.

 

	
(ii)  

	
Except as otherwise provided in an applicable Award Agreement, all restrictions and conditions on each DER shall automatically lapse and all Grants under the Plan shall be deemed fully vested.

 

	
(iii)  

	
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10, the Settlement Date for Phantom Shares shall be the date of such Change of Control and all amounts due with respect to Phantom Shares to a Grantee hereunder shall be paid as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days) after such Change of Control, unless such Grantee elects otherwise in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.

 

  

  

  

16. EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.  In the case of (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination in which the Company is acquired by another entity or in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or (iii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Plan and the Grants issued hereunder shall terminate upon the effectiveness of any such transaction or event, unless provision is made in connection with such transaction for the assumption of Grants theretofore granted, or the substitution for such Grants of new Grants, by the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and the per share exercise prices, as provided in Section 15.  In the event of such termination, all outstanding Options and Grants shall be exercisable in full for at least fifteen days prior to the date of such termination whether or not otherwise exercisable during such period.

 

17. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.

 

(a) Legality of Issuance.  The issuance of any Shares pursuant to Grants under the Plan and the issuance of any Grant shall be contingent upon the following:

 

	
(i)  

	
the obligation of the Company to sell Shares with respect to Grants issued under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee;

 

	
(ii)  

	
the Committee may make such changes to the Plan as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the rules and regulations of any government authority or to obtain tax benefits applicable to stock options; and

 

	
(iii)  

	
each grant of Options, Restricted Stock, Phantom Shares (or issuance of Shares in respect thereof) or DERs (or issuance of Shares in respect thereof), or other Grant under Section 12 (or issuance of Shares in respect thereof), is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of Options, Shares of Restricted Stock, Phantom Shares, DERs, other Grants or other Shares, no payment shall be made, or Phantom Shares or Shares issued or grant of Restricted Stock or other Grant made, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions in a manner acceptable to the Committee.

 

(b) Restrictions on Transfer.  Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan has been registered under the Act or has been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company may impose restrictions on the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates) if, in the judgment of the Company and its counsel, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the provisions of the Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.  In the event that the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, each Grantee shall be required to represent that such Shares are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and to make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.  Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 17 shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.  Without limiting the generality of Section 6, stock certificates evidencing Shares acquired under the Plan pursuant to an unregistered transaction shall bear a restrictive legend, substantially in the following form, and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law:

 

"THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT").  ANY TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE INVALID UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUER SUCH REGISTRATION IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT."

 

(c) Registration or Qualification of Securities.  The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the issuance of Grants and/or the sale of Shares under the Act or any other applicable law.  The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance of Grants or the sale of Shares under the Plan to comply with any law.

 

(d) Exchange of Certificates.  If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under the Plan is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but lacking such legend.

 

(e) Certain Loans.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall not be required to take or permit any action under the Plan or any Award Agreement which, in the good-faith determination of the Company, would result in a material risk of a violation by the Company of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

 

  

  

  

18. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE.

 

(a) Any Award Agreement issued under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall include such additional terms and conditions as may be required to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

 

(b) With respect to any Grant issued under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and with respect to which a payment or distribution is to be made upon a Termination of Service, if the Participant is determined by the Company to be a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and any of the Company's stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, such payment or distribution may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of Termination of Service (to the extent required under Section 409A of the Code).

 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board and the Committee shall administer the Plan, and exercise authority and discretion under the Plan, to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or any exemption thereto.

 

19. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.  The Board may from time to time, with respect to any Shares at the time not subject to Grants, suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever.  The Board may amend the Plan as it shall deem advisable, except that no amendment may adversely affect a Grantee with respect to Grants previously granted unless such amendments are in connection with compliance with applicable laws; provided, however, that the Board may not make any amendment in the Plan that would, if such amendment were not approved by the holders of the Common Stock, cause the Plan to fail to comply with any requirement of applicable law or regulation, or of any applicable exchange or similar rule, unless and until the approval of the holders of such Common Stock is obtained.

 

20. APPLICATION OF FUNDS.  The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the sale of Restricted Stock or in connection with other Grants under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

21. TAX WITHHOLDING.  Each Grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of any Grant first becomes includable in the gross income of the Grantee for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind that are required by law to be withheld with respect to such income.  A Grantee may elect to have such tax withholding satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold a number of Shares to be issued pursuant to a Grant equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date withholding is effected that would satisfy the withholding amount due, (ii) transferring to the Company Shares owned by the Grantee with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the required withholding tax, or (iii) in the case of a Grantee who is an Employee of the Company at the time such withholding is effected, by withholding from the Grantee's cash compensation.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Grantee's satisfaction of any tax-withholding requirements imposed by the Committee shall be a condition precedent to the Company's obligation as may otherwise by provided hereunder to provide Shares to the Grantee, and the failure of the Grantee to satisfy such requirements with respect to a Grant shall cause such Grant to be forfeited.

 

22. NOTICES.  All notices under the Plan shall be in writing, and if to the Company, shall be delivered to the Board or mailed to its principal office, addressed to the attention of the Board; and if to the Grantee, shall be delivered personally or mailed to the Grantee at the address appearing in the records of the Participating Company.  Such addresses may be changed at any time by written notice to the other party given in accordance with this Section 22.

 

23. RIGHTS TO EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER SERVICE.  Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant issued pursuant to the Plan shall confer on any individual any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Participating Company (if applicable) or interfere in any way with the right of the Participating Company and its stockholders to terminate the individual's employment or other service at any time.

 

24. EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Board and the members of the Committee from and against any and all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by such persons as a result of any act or omission to act in connection with the performance of such person's duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Plan, other than such liabilities, costs and expenses as may result from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or criminal acts of such persons.

 

  

  

  

25. NO FUND CREATED.  Any and all payments hereunder to any Grantee under the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Company (or, if applicable, a Participating Company), no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure such payments, and the Phantom Shares (including for purposes of this Section 25 any accounts established to facilitate the implementation of Section 10(d)(iii)) and any other similar devices issued hereunder to account for Plan obligations do not constitute Common Stock and shall not be treated as (or as giving rise to) property or as a trust fund of any kind; provided, however, that the Company (or a Participating Company) may establish a mere bookkeeping reserve to meet its obligations hereunder or a trust or other funding vehicle that would not cause the Plan to be deemed to be funded for tax purposes or for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  The obligations of the Company (or, if applicable, a Participating Company) under the Plan are unsecured and constitute a mere promise by the Company (or, if applicable, a Participating Company) to make benefit payments in the future and, to the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan from the Company (or, if applicable, a Participating Company), such right shall be no greater than the right of a general unsecured creditor of the Company (or, if applicable, a Participating Company).  Without limiting the foregoing, Phantom Shares and any other similar devices issued hereunder to account for Plan obligations are solely a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Grantee under the Plan, and each Grantee's right in the Phantom Shares and any such other devices is limited to the right to receive payment, if any, as may herein be provided.

 

26. NO FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP.  Nothing contained in the Plan (including without limitation Section 10(e)(iii)), and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, shall create or shall be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company, the Participating Companies, or their officers or the Committee, on the one hand, and the Grantee, the Company, the Participating Companies or any other person or entity, on the other.

 

27. CAPTIONS.  The use of captions in the Plan is for convenience.  The captions are not intended to provide substantive rights.

 

28. GOVERNING LAW.  THE PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.

All capitalized terms used in a Service Agreement (or any Schedule thereto) and not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the “Definitions” Exhibit or in the “Definitions” Schedule to the applicable Service Agreement. 
2.    CONTRACT DOCUMENTS; STRUCTURE OF AGREEMENT
2.1.    Contract Documents
(a)    Master Agreement
This Master Agreement, which includes the Exhibits hereto, sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Parties may enter into Service Agreements for the provision of Services. 
(b)    Service Agreements
Services will be provided by Provider in accordance with this Master Agreement and one or more supplements to this Master Agreement entered into by and between Customer (or another member of the Customer Group) and Provider, each substantially in the form of the “Form of Service Agreement” Exhibit, and including the Schedules thereto (each, a “Service Agreement”). The terms and conditions of a particular Service Agreement apply only to such Service Agreement. The Customer Group member executing a Service Agreement hereunder shall be individually liable for its obligations under such Service Agreement, however, with respect to any individual Service Agreement, Customer will remain liable for all members of the Customer Group receiving Services under such Service Agreement, including the Charges therefor.  
(c)    Agreement
The term “Agreement” means collectively, the Master Agreement, the Service Agreements, the Procedures Manuals and all Change Orders, which documents are incorporated into the “Agreement” by this reference. 
2.2.    International Agreements 
(a)    Implementation
To implement the Agreement for Services provided by Provider outside the United States, as mutually agreed to by Customer and Provider, and to implement changes as appropriate to reflect differences in local laws, regulations and taxes or customary business practices or the scope of Services provided in each such country in which a Service Agreement is to be implemented (“Local Differences”): (i) the respective Affiliates of Customer and Provider in each such country may execute an agreement or, in the case of jurisdictions where such an agreement already exists in respect of the Original Agreement 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT.  THE COPY FILED HEREWITH OMITS THE INFORMATION SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST.  OMISSIONS ARE DESIGNATED [ * * * ].

or Prior Agreement, an amendment (each, as amended from time to time, an “International Agreement”) acceding to some or all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement in order to document agreed Local Differences or the performance of the Agreement between specific Affiliates of each of Customer and Provider on a local level, or (ii) Customer and Provider may adopt an amendment to the Agreement to be applicable for only specifically agreed countries in order to document agreed Local Differences to be applicable with respect to the performance of the Agreement in each such country.  No such International Agreement is intended, nor shall any International Agreement be interpreted, to duplicate, enlarge, reduce or eliminate any responsibilities of either of the Parties under the Agreement except as required by local law or regulation. Performance or fulfillment by a Party or, on behalf of Provider by its delegate, of any obligation under the Agreement shall be considered performance or fulfillment of the corresponding obligation under the relevant International Agreement.  Performance or fulfillment of any obligation by a party to the relevant International Agreement shall be considered performance or fulfillment of the corresponding obligation under this Agreement. Correspondingly, any defense, excuse or remedy available under the Agreement shall be available as a defense, excuse or remedy to the corresponding obligation under any International Agreement, provided that any such defenses, excuses or remedies and any and all claims under any International Agreement shall be exercised, invoked or asserted exclusively by the Parties to the Agreement under the procedures set forth in the Agreement.  Any claim, defense, excuse or remedy available under any International Agreement shall be available to the Parties as a claim, defense, excuse or remedy to the corresponding obligation under the Agreement, provided, however, that the Parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims, defenses, excuses or remedies available under local law of the country in which the International Agreement is to be performed and not set forth in the Agreement or the International Agreement at issue or otherwise provided by the laws of the United States or the State of Texas.  Except as mandated by local laws or regulations, any International Agreements entered into are not intended to change in any substantive manner the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and any such purported changes shall not be effective without a written agreement between Customer Technical Alliance Manager and Provider Client Executive. 
(b)    Original Agreement and Prior Agreement
After the Effective Date, if either Party perceives the need therefor, the Parties agree to discuss in good faith the implementation of additional International Agreements or additional amendments to the Agreement to document Local Differences.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that references to the Prior Agreement (as defined below) in each International Agreement shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement after the Effective Date, and that the Parties will take any steps reasonably necessary to carry out this intent in the local jurisdictions (if any).  
2.3.    Priority
In the event of a conflict: (i) the terms of this Master Agreement shall govern over the terms of the Exhibits; (ii) the terms of a Service Agreement shall govern over the terms of its 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT.  THE COPY FILED HEREWITH OMITS THE INFORMATION SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST.  OMISSIONS ARE DESIGNATED [ * * * ].

Schedules; (iii) the terms of this Master Agreement shall govern over the terms of each Service Agreement, unless the Service Agreement expressly and specifically notes the deviation(s) from the terms of this Master Agreement on a “Deviations From Master Agreement” Schedule to such Service Agreement; and (iv) this Master Agreement and the applicable Service Agreement(s) shall govern any Change Order, unless the Change Order expressly and specifically references the provisions of such documents which are to be superseded or amended.
2.4.    Termination of Prior Agreement 
Customer and Provider are parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Information Technology Services Agreement, dated January 31, 2012, as amended and including the Schedules thereto (the “Prior Agreement”). The Parties hereby agree that, as of the Effective Date of this Master Agreement, the Prior Agreement is hereby terminated in its entirety and all outstanding Project Plans issued thereunder (“Prior Project Plans”) shall be amended and restated to be Project Plans under Service Agreement No. 1 (“Restated Project Plans”).  Pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Prior Agreement, those provisions of the Prior Agreement that would require survival in order to give it full force and effect after termination of the Prior Agreement shall so survive, but only with respect to the Parties’ respective rights and obligations pertaining to periods during the term of the Prior Agreement. [ * * * ]
For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party, as a result of entering into this Master Agreement, will be deemed to have waived, or to have released the other Party from, any claim, issue or dispute arising after the Effective Date of this Master Agreement but relating to periods during the term of the applicable Prior Agreement, which such claims, issues or disputes shall be governed by the Prior Agreement (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement). Except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentence, the Agreement shall govern all other claims, issues and disputes hereunder arising after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Prior Agreement, any Company Information of one Party or its Affiliates that is, as of the Effective Date of this Master Agreement, in the possession of or under the control of the other Party shall become subject to the terms of Section 16 of this Master Agreement. 
3.    TERM OF AGREEMENT
3.1.    Term of Master Agreement
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Master Agreement, this Master Agreement will commence as of the Effective Date and will remain in effect until the later of: (i) December 31, 2022; or (ii) the anniversary of the first date on which no Service Agreement is in effect between the Parties (the “Term”).

3.2.    Term of Service Agreement
The term for each Service Agreement shall be as set forth therein, unless such Service Agreement is earlier terminated or extended in accordance with the provisions of this Master Agreement or such Service Agreement (the “Service Agreement Term”).  
3.3.    Extension of Service Agreement
Customer may, at its sole option, extend the Service Agreement Term for a particular Service Agreement for up to three additional terms of up to 12 months each (each, an “Extension Period”), by providing Notice to Provider at least 60 days prior to the scheduled expiration of the then-current Service Agreement Term.  Any such Extension Period shall be on the terms, conditions and pricing in effect at the time of the commencement of such Extension Period, subject to any annual cost of living or other adjustment provided for in the “Charges” Schedule to such Service Agreement, and shall be considered an extension of the Service Agreement Term.
4.    THE SERVICES
4.1.    Services
(a)    Obligation to Provide Services
Starting on the Commencement Date of each Service Agreement and continuing throughout the Service Agreement Term, Provider shall provide the Services to Customer and to other members of the Customer Group designated by Customer. The Parties acknowledge and agree that there are functions, responsibilities, activities and tasks not specifically described in the Agreement that are required for the proper performance and provision of the Services and are a necessary, customary part of the Customer Group’s business or an inherent part of, or a necessary sub-part included within (i) any New Service, or (ii) with respect to the Services provided under Service Agreement No. 1, any Service as of the Effective Date that is consistent with historical practices and, with respect to Services provided under any other Service Agreement, the Commencement Date of the applicable Service Agreement.  Such functions, responsibilities, activities and tasks, shall be deemed to be implied and included within the scope of the Services to the same extent and in the same manner as if specifically described in the Agreement, and shall include (without limitation) all of the services, functions, processes, and responsibilities performed by Provider under the Prior Agreement at any time during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Effective Date unless and when (A) expressly changed in this Agreement or (B) clearly no longer applicable due to the changes in the Services under the Transformation Plan or other evolution of Services hereunder. 
(b)    Affiliate Participation
		
	(i)
	If Customer or any Affiliate of Customer merges with or otherwise acquires a Person or assets from a Third Party (an “Acquired Business”), then, at Customer’s election, such Acquired Business will become subject to this 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT.  THE COPY FILED HEREWITH OMITS THE INFORMATION SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST.  OMISSIONS ARE DESIGNATED [ * * * ].

Agreement as a member of the Customer Group and: (i) the Services shall be provided to the Acquired Business; and (ii) (A) the Charges shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the applicable charging methodologies; or  (B) if there are material changes in volumes of Services requested, the costs to deliver the Services, or the manner in which Services are delivered, resulting from the integration of such Acquired Business that are not contemplated by clause (A), the Parties will renegotiate in good faith all affected Charges to account for those material changes in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. Charges for the integration of such Acquired Business will be handled on a Project basis, according to the terms and pricing under the applicable Service Agreement.  If the Acquired Business is a party to an agreement with Provider and the services under such agreement are integrated with the Services, then any termination charges under such agreement shall be waived.
		
	(ii)
	If Customer or any Affiliate of Customer divests or no longer Controls one or more Affiliates or other asset, operation or entity that was receiving Services under the Agreement (a “Divested Business”), then, at Customer’s election, Provider shall continue to provide Services to such Divested Business, pursuant to a subcontract between Customer and the Divested Business, for the period requested by Customer, not to exceed 24 months after the closing date of such transaction (the “Divestiture Period”). Provider shall provide the Services to the Divested Business in accordance with the terms and conditions (including pricing) of the Agreement (the terms of which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, may be disclosed to such Divested Business and its acquirer). Customer will continue to be responsible for the Divested Business under the Service Agreement, including the Charges for such Services (based on existing charging methodologies), unless Provider and the Divested Business (or the acquirer of such Divested Business) enter into a separate agreement for provision of such Services. In such event, or upon the conclusion of the Divestiture Period, the applicable Service Agreement(s) shall be modified to reflect the reduction in Services and Charges.

(c)    Authorized Recipients
Customer Group’s rights under this Agreement include, without limitation, the right for Customer Group to: (i) include any Services in, or use any Services to offer or provide, any offering of products, services, information or associated access rights that are offered or provided by Customer Group to Authorized Recipients (or to perform contractual obligations to Authorized Recipients); or (ii) use any Services to receive products, services, information or associated access rights from Authorized Recipients (or to receive performance of contractual obligations by Authorized Recipients). Customer shall be responsible to Provider for any such use or access by Authorized Recipients.

4.2.    New Services
(a)    Procedures
If Customer requests that Provider perform any New Services reasonably related to the Services or other services generally provided by Provider, Provider shall, after receiving each request for New Services from Customer, either (i) promptly provide Notice to Customer that Provider will not bid on the New Services (each, a “No Bid”), or (ii) prepare, at no additional charge to Customer, a New Services proposal for Customer’s consideration within ten Business Days of Customer’s request (unless a longer period of time is agreed upon by the Parties). Provider’s New Services proposal shall include the elements set forth in Section 4.2(b) below, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Customer may accept or reject any New Services proposal in its sole discretion and Provider shall not be obligated to perform any New Services to the extent the proposal is rejected. If Customer accepts Provider’s proposal, Provider will perform the New Services and will be paid in accordance with the proposal submitted by Provider, or other terms as may be agreed upon by the Parties, and the applicable provisions of the Agreement. Upon Customer’s acceptance of a New Services proposal, the scope of the Services will be expanded to include such New Services and such accepted New Services proposal will be documented in a Change Order or in a new Service Agreement, as applicable. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary: (i) Provider shall act reasonably and in good faith in formulating its pricing proposal, (ii) Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify potential means of reducing the cost to Customer, including utilizing Provider Agents as and to the extent appropriate, (iii) such pricing proposal shall be no less favorable to Customer than the lowest pricing and labor rates set forth in the Agreement for comparable or similar Services, and (iv) such pricing proposal shall take into account the existing and future volume of business between Customer and Provider.
(b)    New Service Proposal
Provider’s proposal for New Services requested by Customer shall include the following, as applicable:
		
	(i)
	a detailed description of the implementation services and on-going services that Provider anticipates performing in connection with such New Services;

		
	(ii)

	(vi)
	any other information reasonably requested by Customer.

		
	4.3.
	Performance and Service Levels

		
	(a)
	Service Levels

Provider agrees that the performance of the Services will meet or exceed each of the applicable Service Levels set forth in the “Service Level Agreement” Schedule to each Service Agreement, subject to the limitations and in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Agreement. In addition, Provider will, on a continuous basis, and at no additional charge (i) identify ways to improve the Service Levels and (ii) identify and apply proven techniques and tools from other installations within its operations that would benefit Customer Group either operationally or financially.  Any changes to the Service Levels are subject to Customer’s approval.  Provider will provide all Services without expressly defined Service Levels with at least the same degree of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and efficiency as the level provided prior to the Effective Date by or for Customer Group.  Provider will perform all tasks necessary to complete the Services in a timely and efficient manner, using standard methodology and tools.
(b)    Modification of Service Levels
The Service Level Agreement for each Service Agreement will include procedures for implementing changes, modifications, deletions and replacements of and additions to, the Service Level and associated Service Level Credits.
(c)    Performance Monitoring
Provider shall implement and operate all measurement and monitoring tools and procedures required to measure and report its performance relative to the applicable Service Levels, such that such measurement and reporting is clear and unambiguous and reasonably supported by objective data. To the extent not specified in the Service Level, Provider will use market standard measurement and monitoring tools where available, so long as such measurement and reporting tools provide clear and unambiguous reporting reasonably supported by objective data. The Service Level measurement, monitoring and reporting processes will be subject to audit by Customer in accordance with Section 14.
(d)    Performance Reports
Each Service Level will be measured on at least a monthly basis, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Service Agreement. Provider shall provide, as part of Provider’s monthly performance reports, a set of hard- and soft-copy reports to verify Provider’s performance and compliance with the Service Levels (“Performance Reports”). Provider

4.4.    Customer Policies
Provider shall perform the Services in accordance with all policies and procedures of general application of Customer Group as set forth in the “Customer Policies” Exhibit, (collectively, “Customer Policies”) and, subject to the Change Control Procedures, such amendments, updates and changes thereto, as published by Customer Group from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Change Control Procedures shall govern the method of implementation and pricing with respect to amendments, updates and changes to the Customer Policies, but will not grant Provider any right to refuse to implement changes necessary to comply with amendments, updates and changes to the Customer Policies.
4.5.    Provider to Provide and Manage Necessary Resources
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, Provider will have the responsibility and obligation to provide and administer, manage, support, maintain and pay for all resources (including personnel, hardware, software, facilities, furniture, fixtures, Equipment, space and all upgrades, improvements, replacements services and other items, however described) necessary or appropriate for Provider to provide, perform and deliver the Services. 
		
	4.6.
	Reports

Provider will provide those reports generally identified in the Agreement, including in the “Reports” Schedule to each Service Agreement, and such additional reports as agreed by the Customer Technical Alliance Manager and the Provider Client Executive during the Transition period and from time to time during the applicable Service Agreement Term (“Reports”), in accordance with the requirements (including any timing requirements) set forth in the Agreement, including in the “Reports” Schedule to each Service Agreement. Such Reports shall include: (i) reports detailing Provider’s compliance with the Agreement, including the Performance Reports, and Provider’s compliance with its responsibilities under the Service Agreement(s), Provider’s regulatory requirements, Customer Compliance Requirements, Security Requirements, and such other aspects of the Services that Customer reasonably requests; and (ii) reports regarding Software compliance, Asset inventory, Software usage and Asset usage. For any Reports to be provided with a frequency of monthly or longer, such Reports and other documentation must be available in electronic format and provided to Customer in accordance with the agreed schedule for such Reports. With regard to Reports documenting Provider’s performance, Provider will set forth any deviations from the performance requirements and include a plan for corrective action where such deviations are material. Provider will provide those Reports identified in the “Reports” Schedule as being “current” or “standard” during the first month following the applicable Commencement Date. Provider will provide all other reports identified in the “Reports” Schedule within the time frame identified therein or, if not identified, within 60 days of the applicable Commencement Date, except to the extent that such Reports are to be provided less frequently than monthly, which Reports will be provided at the next scheduled time thereafter.

	4.7.
	Development and Maintenance of Procedures Manual

The operational policies and procedures applicable to the provision of the Services described in each Service Agreement shall be set forth in an operational procedures manual to be developed by Provider in accordance with the “Procedures Manual Requirements” Schedule and the “Transition” Schedule, subject to the review and written approval of Customer (each, as approved by Customer, a “Procedures Manual”). Provider will be responsible for the preparation, accuracy, maintenance and currency of the Procedures Manuals and will prepare and provide to Customer, in both print and electronic formats, proposed updates thereto as necessary to reflect any substantive changes therein or improvements thereto within a reasonable time prior to the implementation of such changes. Either Party may, from time to time, request updates or amendments to the Procedures Manuals. Changes to the Procedures Manuals will be made in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. Provider will perform its obligations under this Section 4.7, including any obligations required through the Change Control Procedures, at no cost to Customer. To the extent any portion of the Procedures Manuals does not constitute Work Product, and notwithstanding any other provisions in the Agreement to the contrary, Provider hereby grants to Customer Group an irrevocable, perpetual, nonexclusive, worldwide, paid-up license to use, execute, operate, reproduce, display, perform, modify, develop, and personalize the Procedures Manuals. 
		
	4.8.
	Provider Excused Performance  

Except as provided in the remainder of this Section, Provider shall be responsible for the performance of the Services in accordance with the Agreement even if such Services are actually performed or dependent upon services performed by Provider Agents or Third Party Providers for whom Provider is financially or operationally responsible under the Agreement. Customer will perform its duties, obligations and responsibilities (“Responsibilities”) set forth in the Agreement. An act (other than in accordance with this Agreement), error or omission by Customer (or by a third party supplier independently hired by Customer in connection with performance of a Responsibility), or a failure by Customer to perform any Responsibilities (in each instance, a “Customer Failure”), will excuse Provider’s obligation to perform its obligations under the Agreement only if and to the extent Provider: (i) provides Notice to Customer of such Customer Failure within 72 hours after it first knew of, or should have known of (given the scope of its responsibilities), such Customer Failure (which Notice shall describe the effect of such Customer Failure on Provider’s performance); (ii) provides Customer with every reasonable opportunity to correct such Customer Failure and mitigate the effect of such Customer Failure on Provider’s performance; (iii) demonstrates that such Customer Failure was the direct cause of Provider’s inability to perform and that neither Provider nor any Provider Agent contributed to or caused such Customer Failure; (iv) identifies and pursues all commercially reasonable means to avoid or mitigate the impact of such Customer Failure; and (v) uses commercially reasonable efforts to perform notwithstanding such Customer Failure. Provider’s sole remedy for any Customer Failure shall be the excuse provided for in this paragraph.
5.    SERVICE LOCATIONS

(b)    Facilities 
Provider shall provide the Services only at or from the Facilities specified in the applicable “Facilities” Schedule.  
(c)    Offshore Plan
Each Service Agreement that contemplates the provision of Services from any offshore Facilities shall include an offshore plan as part of the “Facilities” Schedule that provides, in reasonable detail: (i) the specific Services to be provided at each offshore Facility; (ii) the percentage of each Service that will be migrated to such offshore Facility; (iii) the timeframe within which each Service will migrate from the onshore Facility to such offshore Facility; (iv) the quality control and risk mitigation procedures to be followed by Provider in migrating Services offshore; and (v) any other relevant detail agreed upon by the Parties (the “Offshore Plan”).

Any material changes to the Offshore Plan will be subject to the Change Control Procedures.
(d)    Other Offshore Considerations
In addition to the above, the Offshore Plan may include a maximum percentage of each Service that may be migrated to a particular offshore Facility. In such event, Provider may continue to migrate such Services (up to the maximum percentage) from an onshore Facility to such offshore Facility upon Notice to Customer (but without requiring Customer approval), even if such migration occurs after the date set forth in the Offshore Plan, provided the migration is in accordance with the other requirements of the Offshore Plan, including the quality control and risk mitigation procedures.  
(e)    Storage and Processing of Customer Data

In connection with any proposed Facility Relocation or Service Relocation, Provider shall address in writing to Customer the impact of any such move on Customer (including cost and timing of any such move and any potential impact of such move on the Disaster Recovery Services).  
(g)    Services Relocation  
The Offshore Plan may include a list of those Services that are approved for Provider performance at or from each Facility. The Parties shall use the Change Control Procedures to move Services to another Facility (a “Service Relocation”) and any such move shall require Customer’s prior written consent, in its reasonable discretion and in accordance with the Change Control Procedures, unless such Service Relocation is provided for and conducted in accordance with the Offshore Plan, in which case Provider shall Notify Customer prior to the Service Relocation, but no such consent from Customer shall be required. Provider shall be financially responsible for all additional costs, taxes or expenses resulting from any Provider-initiated Facility Relocation, Service Relocation or relocation to an Alternate Facility (as defined in the applicable Offshore Plan), including any costs or expenses incurred or experienced by Customer Group as a result of such relocation.

(i)    Offshore Facilities; Customer-Required Relocation.  
		
	(i)

	Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Services  

(a)    Disaster Recovery Services 
Disaster Recovery Services and responsibilities shall be provided pursuant to a Service Agreement and subject to the applicable Charges set forth therein. 
(b)    Disaster
Upon Provider’s determination that a disaster or business disruption has occurred or is imminent, Provider shall promptly notify Customer and undertake all applicable actions and precautions required pursuant to the “Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Requirements” Schedule, or the applicable disaster recovery or business continuity plan developed pursuant thereto, and diligently pursue them as necessary to avoid or, if unavoidable, minimize any interruption of Services. During any disaster, Provider will notify Customer at least daily of the status of the disaster or business disruption. Upon completion of a disaster or business disruption, Provider will, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide Customer with an incident report detailing the reason for the disaster or business disruption and all actions taken by Provider to resolve the disaster or business disruption.  
		
	6.2.
	Force Majeure

(a)    Generally
If and to the extent that a Party’s performance is prevented or delayed as a result of a Force Majeure Event, then the affected performance will be excused for so long as the Force Majeure Event continues to prevent or delay performance and the Party continues efforts to recommence performance to the extent possible without delay, including through the use of alternate sources and workaround plans. The affected Party will promptly notify the other Party verbally (to be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the inception of the delay), describing the Force Majeure Event and the affected performance obligations in reasonable detail, and shall thereafter provide the other Party with daily updates (and more frequent updates if requested) as to the status of its efforts to recommence performance and Notice upon conclusion of the Force Majeure Event.
(b)    Alternate Source
If any Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders, or delays performance of the Services necessary for the performance of Customer Group’s critical functions for more than three consecutive days or a total of five days within any 30-day period, then Customer may:  
		
	(i)
	procure such Services from an alternate source until Provider is able to provide the Services.  During the Force Majeure Event, Customer shall not be obligated to pay the Charges or any other amounts to Provider for the

relevant Services, and, to the extent that payments charged by the alternate source for such replacement services exceed what Provider’s Charges hereunder for the Services so provided would have been, Provider and Customer will equally share such incremental charges until such time as Provider is able to restore the Services and meet the Service Levels, but in no event for more than 180 days; and 
		
	(ii)
	both Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any charges to be incurred from an alternate source.  At such time as Provider is able to restore the Services and meet the Service Levels, Provider shall no longer be obligated to pay an alternate source for the provision of Services to Customer Group.

(c)    Non-Excused Obligations 
Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b), Force Majeure Events do not excuse any of Provider’s disaster recovery and business continuity obligations under Section 6.1 or its obligations to meet the Security Requirements, except to the extent such failure to meet Provider’s disaster recovery or business continuity obligations is the direct result of the Force Majeure Event and provided Provider continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact or consequence of the event on Customer Group and to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. In no event shall the non-performing Party be excused under this Section 6.2 for (i) any non-performance of its obligations under the Agreement having a greater scope or longer period than is justified by the Force Majeure Event; or (ii) the performance of obligations that should have been performed prior to the Force Majeure Event. 
6.3.    No Payment for Unperformed Services
Customer is not required to pay for those Services that are not performed, whether because of a disaster, Force Majeure Event or otherwise, regardless of whether such non-performance is excused.
6.4.    Allocation of Resources
Whenever a Force Majeure Event or a disaster causes Provider to allocate limited resources among Provider’s customers, Provider will not give other customers to which Provider provides a similar scope of services priority over Customer or redeploy or reassign any Key Personnel (except as permitted under this Agreement) to another Provider customer.

	8.2.

Provider will invoice the Charges under each Service Agreement as set forth in the “Charges” Schedule, with invoices to include such detail as provided in the Service Agreement. No invoice for Charges for any of the Services shall be delivered to Customer until after the Services that are the subject of such invoice have been provided to Customer Group. However, any Services that are expressly stated in the applicable “Charges” Schedule as prepaid or paid in advance shall be excluded from the limitation of this provision to the extent, but only to the extent, expressly set forth in the Agreement. Provider shall not invoice, and Customer is not liable to pay, any Charges not invoiced within 90 days (or 180 days with respect to any Pass Through Charges) after the end of the month to which such Charges correspond.  [ * * * ]
		
	8.3.
	Taxes 

		
	(a)
	Responsibility

Customer shall be responsible and liable for Taxes arising from any provision of services or any transfer or lease of property by Provider to Customer, or imposed on any Charges, pursuant to this Agreement.  Provider shall be responsible for all Taxes that are imposed on acquisition, ownership, or use of property or services by Provider or a Provider Affiliate in the course of providing property or services to Customer, it being understood and agreed that this provision shall not relieve Customer of its responsibility and liability for Taxes under this Section 8.3(a) which are imposed upon any transfer or lease of such property from Provider to Customer.  Customer shall not be responsible for any Taxes (i) on Taxes previously paid or incurred by Provider or a Provider Affiliate, (ii) on Taxes imposed by a third party where Provider or a Provider Affiliate is acting as an agent and Customer has the responsibility to pay Taxes on charges associated with Managed Agreements; (iii) that are non-recoverable by Customer based on failure by Provider or a Provider Affiliate to register in foreign jurisdictions or provide an invoice in compliance with applicable law; or (iv) arising from the provision of services or the transfer or lease of property that are erroneously charged by Provider or a Provider Affiliate or third party provider where Provider or a Provider Affiliate serves as a pass through agent and are otherwise nontaxable or exempt under applicable Tax law.  Customer shall be responsible and liable for all customs fees, duties and tariffs imposed on the importation of any goods provided by Provider or any Provider Affiliate to Customer or any Customer Affiliate hereunder.  Provider shall be responsible and liable for all value added taxes, goods and services taxes, and similar types of taxes in the nature of a value added or goods and services tax, which are imposed upon the importation into any taxing jurisdiction of any property by Provider or a Provider Affiliate.
(b)    Withholding Taxes
If a member of the Customer (i) receives notice or other instructions from a taxing authority that such Customer member is required to withhold Withholding Taxes or (ii) otherwise reasonably believes that it is required under applicable law to withhold Withholding Taxes from payments to Provider or any Affiliate of Provider, Customer (or 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT.  THE COPY FILED HEREWITH OMITS THE INFORMATION SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST.  OMISSIONS ARE DESIGNATED [ * * * ].

such Customer member) may withhold Withholding Taxes from such payments, in which case it will timely (a) remit such Withholding Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and (b) provide to Provider copies of official tax receipts or other evidence sufficient to establish that any such Withholding Taxes have been remitted to appropriate taxing authorities.  Provider may provide to Customer an exemption certificate acceptable to Customer and to the relevant taxing authority, in which case Customer will not withhold the Withholding Taxes covered by such certificate.  Provider acknowledges that it will be responsible for all Withholding Taxes. 
(c)    Exemptions
Customer and each member of Customer shall pay or reimburse Provider for any Taxes for which it is responsible or liable under this Agreement that are invoiced by Provider or charged under a Managed Agreement by Provider to Customer or a member of Customer, or that are otherwise determined to be due and payable by a relevant taxing authority, unless Customer or the Customer member provides Provider or a Provider Affiliate with a valid and applicable exemption certificate, multi-state benefit certificate, or resale certificate or written explanation explaining why Customer or the Customer member believes the Tax is not applicable.  In the event that Customer provides such a written explanation to Provider or a Provider Affiliate, Provider may at any time require Customer to deliver an opinion letter from outside counsel, selected by Customer and reasonably acceptable to Provider, that Customer’s position is reasonable under the applicable tax law.  The cost of such letter shall be paid by Customer.  If such a letter is not delivered within 30 days of the request, Customer must pay the Taxes invoiced.  Such certificate or written explanation does not relieve Customer or the Customer member of ultimate liability for the Tax to the extent the taxing authority disagrees with the Customer or the Customer member’s position that no such Tax is due; provided, that Customer shall have no liability for Taxes either not yet due and payable or Taxes being contested (unless payment is a condition to contest) in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section.
(d)    Reporting and Payment 
Provider shall be responsible for reporting and payment of any real or personal property or ad valorem taxes due on property Provider or a Provider Affiliate owns and property taxes Provider or a Provider Affiliate otherwise has a responsibility to remit, and Customer and each member of the Customer shall be responsible for reporting and payment of any real or personal property or ad valorem taxes due on property it owns and property taxes it otherwise has a responsibility to remit.
(e)    Tax Claims
If Provider or a Provider Affiliate receives notice from any taxing authority with respect to an assessment or potential assessment or imposition of any Tax that Customer would be responsible for paying pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(c) of this Agreement, Provider shall immediately send Notice to Customer of such notice.  To the extent directed by Customer in a Notice sent to Provider within 30 days of Customer’s receipt of the Notice 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT.  THE COPY FILED HEREWITH OMITS THE INFORMATION SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST.  OMISSIONS ARE DESIGNATED [ * * * ].

from Provider (as described above), Provider and any relevant Provider Affiliate shall timely contest at Customer’s direction relating to all actions to be taken to contest such proposed Tax and with Customer’s participation, or, if Customer so directs and it is feasible for Provider and any relevant Provider Affiliate to segregate out the portion of the Tax claim that relates solely to Customer, permit Customer to contest, to the extent permissible under applicable Tax law and procedures, such proposed Tax, at Customer’s expense and in a forum selected by Customer and with counsel selected by Customer and reasonably acceptable to Provider, until such assessment has been upheld by the decision of an appellate court; except that prior to any judicial contest Provider may require (as a condition to such judicial contest) an opinion letter from counsel selected by Customer and reasonably acceptable to Provider that there is a reasonable tax basis for such contest.  Any Notice to a Party under this Section 8.3(e) shall also be copied directly to the tax department of that Party, in care of the Vice President-Tax Administration.  To the extent Provider or a Provider Affiliate contests a proposed Tax at Customer’s direction, and such contest involves claims with respect to Taxes for which Customer would not be responsible under Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(c), Customer shall be responsible only for that portion of expenses of Provider and any relevant Provider Affiliate as are reasonably allocable to the contest of Taxes for which Customer would be responsible under Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(c).  Provider and any relevant Provider Affiliate may compromise, settle, or resolve such a Tax contest under this Section 8.3(e) without Customer’s consent (provided such compromise, settlement, or resolution is limited only to the Taxes for the tax period involved) if Provider waives any indemnity rights Provider and any relevant Provider Affiliate has against Customer with respect to the Taxes being contested.  Otherwise, neither Provider nor any relevant Provider Affiliate may compromise, settle, or resolve such Tax contest without Customer’s consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Customer (i) not direct Provider either to contest or permit Customer to contest, a proposed Tax within 30 days of Customer’s receipt of the Notice from Provider described in the first sentence of this paragraph or (ii) revoke its Notice directing Provider to either contest or permit Customer to contest a proposed Tax, Provider shall be entitled to contest such proposed Tax at Provider’s expense or compromise, settle, or resolve any contest with respect to such proposed Tax and Customer will be responsible for and liable for such Tax, as otherwise provided for in Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(c). 
(f)    Refunds
Customer and each member of the Customer shall be entitled to any Tax refunds or rebates granted to the extent such refunds or rebates are of Taxes that were borne by Customer or a Customer member.  Customer or each Customer member may require Provider and any relevant Provider Affiliate, at the sole expense of Customer, to (i) apply for and diligently pursue a refund of Taxes otherwise payable by Customer or the Customer member, or (ii) if permitted by law, assign its rights to a refund claim for such Taxes to Customer or the Customer member.
(g)    Cooperation

The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other to enable each to more accurately determine its own tax liability (including Taxes, Withholding Taxes and property taxes) and to minimize such liability to the extent legally possible. Invoices issued by Provider or a Provider Affiliate shall separately state the amounts of any Taxes Provider or a Provider Affiliate is collecting from Customer.  In the case of Customer, such cooperation shall include providing Provider or any relevant Provider Affiliate any applicable exemption or resale certificates, and information regarding out-of-province or out-of-country sales and use of equipment.  In the case of Provider, such cooperation shall include providing Customer, at the reasonable and written request of Customer, with applicable information regarding delivery or use of materials, services, or sales, and taking reasonable additional steps to minimize Taxes, examples of which include providing Customer with thorough invoices and/or additional billing information that may be reasonably requested in order to determine the taxability of specific goods and services provided under this Agreement.  If any Taxes are assessed on the provision of any of the Services, including telecommunications, or any portion of the Services that is treated as a sale or rental of tangible personal property to Customer, the Parties will work together to segregate all payments under this Agreement into three (3) payment streams:  (i) those for taxable Services (separated into types of taxable Services) and taxable sale or rental of tangible personal property; (ii) those for nontaxable services; and (iii) those in which Provider or a Provider Affiliate functions merely as a payment agent for Customer in receiving goods, supplies or services (including telecommunications) that otherwise are nontaxable or have previously been subject to tax.
(h)    Stamp Taxes
Responsibility for any stamp taxes (in all cases including any interest and penalties thereon) incurred with respect to International Agreements shall be as follows:
		
	(i)
	Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3(h)(ii) below or as otherwise specified in an International Agreement, Customer shall be responsible for any stamp taxes incurred with respect to International Agreements.

		
	(ii)
	Provider shall be responsible for any stamp taxes incurred with respect to an International Agreement if such stamp taxes arise in connection with any of the following actions by Provider or any Provider Affiliate.

8.4.    Market Currency and Benchmarking Procedures 
Provider will perform annual reviews of the competitiveness of the Services and the Charges with respect to price and technology and process best practices, and Customer may require a benchmarking assessment and related adjustment of Charges as set forth in the “Market Currency Procedures” Exhibit. 
8.5.    Service Level Credits
If Provider fails to provide the Services in accordance with the Service Levels set forth in any “Service Level Agreement” Schedule to a Service Agreement, Provider shall apply the resulting Service Level Credits against the Charges owed to Provider for the month following the month in which the Service Level Credits were incurred, or as otherwise described in such “Service Level Agreement” Schedule. Provider acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Service Level Credits shall not be deemed or understood to be liquidated damages and (ii) neither the Service Level Credits nor any express non-financial remedy hereunder shall be deemed or understood to be a sole and exclusive remedy or in derogation of any other rights and remedies Customer has hereunder or otherwise at law or at equity. 
8.6.    Rights of Set-Off
Customer shall have the right to set off against amounts owed by Customer under the Agreement any amount that Provider is obligated to pay or credit Customer under this Agreement, including Service Level Credits, except to the extent such setoffs occur across different countries. Any such set-off shall not be treated as disputed under Section 8.7 or otherwise count towards the Aggregate Disputed Amount unless it is in fact the subject of a dispute.
8.7.    Disputed Charges/Credits
Customer may withhold payment of any portion of an invoice that it disputes in good faith, up to an aggregate amount of [ * * * ] per Service Agreement (unless the Service Agreement provides for a different amount) (“Aggregate Disputed Amount”).  Customer shall notify Provider of any such Dispute as soon as practicable after the discrepancy has been discovered. The Parties will investigate and resolve the Dispute using the Dispute Resolution Procedures. Unpaid amounts that are the subject of a good faith Dispute may be withheld by Customer and will not be considered a basis for monetary default under, or a breach of, the Agreement. Any undisputed amounts will be paid by Customer in accordance with Section 8.1. Customer’s failure to dispute or withhold a payment will not operate as a waiver of the right to dispute and recover such amount. Customer shall deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account any disputed amount in excess of the Aggregate Disputed Amount within three Business Days after such disputed amounts are due, provided that

Customer shall retain any and all rights to contest Provider’s entitlement to such disputed amount.  Customer shall promptly furnish evidence of any escrow deposit to Provider. The escrow account will be established pursuant to an escrow agreement with a major national bank that provides that (i) the costs of such escrow account will be shared equally by the Parties, and (ii) the funds therein (including Charges and Taxes), including the accrued interest, will be disbursed to Customer or Provider, as applicable, in accordance with the results of the Dispute Resolution Procedures or by mutual agreement of the Parties. If Customer fails to escrow disputed amounts in accordance with this Section 8.7 within 30 days after Notice from Provider of Customer’s failure to do so, Provider may, after giving Customer at least 15 days prior Notice, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to seek injunctive relief for such failure.
8.8.    Changes in Customer Business 
(a)    Changes 
If Customer Group experiences or reasonably anticipates significant changes in the scope or nature of its business which have caused or are reasonably expected to cause an increase or decrease in the utilization of Services under any Service Agreement by more than [ * * * ], for a period of three months or more, such changes shall be governed by this Section 8.8; provided, that such decreases are not due to Customer’s resuming the provision of such Services by itself or Customer transferring the provision of such Services to another Third Party Provider. Examples of the kinds of events that might cause such substantial increases or decreases include but are not limited to: (i) changes in Customer Group’s products or markets; (ii) mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; (iii) changes in market priorities; (iv) reduction in demand for Customer Group’s products or services; or (v) general business or economic downturn.
(b)    Plan for Adjustment
Customer will notify Provider of any event or discrete set of events which qualifies under this Section 8.8, and Provider will identify any changes that can be made to accommodate such decrease or increase of resource requirements in a cost-effective manner without disruption to Customer Group’s ongoing operations, and the cost savings that will result therefrom, in a plan that will be submitted to Customer for review and acceptance. Such changes shall: 
		
	(i)
	equitably account for any efficiencies, economies or reduced or increased resource requirements resulting from any changes in the Services proposed by Provider; and

		
	(ii)
	provide for changes to the Charges and other terms that have been determined on a commercially reasonable basis consistent with the other Charges and terms.

(c)    Implementation of Adjustment

Upon acceptance by Customer, Provider will make any applicable adjustments to the Charges and the related Resource Unit volumes (if applicable) and other terms to reflect the foregoing and distribute an amended “Charges” Schedule and executed a Change Order to the affected Service Agreements to Customer.
9.    PROVIDER OBLIGATIONS
9.1.    Cooperation and Good Faith
The Parties covenant to timely and diligently cooperate in good faith to effect the purposes and objectives of the Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither Party shall unreasonably withhold or delay any consent, approval or request by the other Party required under the Agreement. Each Party recognizes that Provider Personnel providing Services to Customer Group under this Agreement may perform similar services for others, except as otherwise specified in the Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing.

Company Information, and Customer in the case of Provider Company Information, assumes full responsibility for the acts or omissions of the persons and entities to which each makes disclosures of the Company Information of the other Party no less than if the acts or omissions were those of Provider and Customer respectively. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Party will publicly disclose the terms of the Agreement, except to the extent permitted by this Section 16 or to enforce the terms of the Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party.

16.2.    Exclusions
(a)    General Exclusions
Notwithstanding the foregoing and excluding the Customer Data, this Section 16 shall not apply to any information which Provider or Customer can demonstrate was or is: (a) at the time of disclosure to it, in the public domain; (b) after disclosure to it, published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party; (c) without a breach of duty owed to the disclosing Party, is in the possession of the receiving Party at the time of disclosure to it; (d) received after disclosure to it from a Third Party who had a lawful right to and, without a breach of duty owed to the disclosing Party, did disclose such information to it; or (e) independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of, including any actions authorized in Section 16.1, the Company Information of the disclosing Party. Further, excluding the Customer Data, either Party may disclose the other Party’s Company Information to the extent required by Law, or an order of a court or governmental agency. Further, with the exception of the Customer Data, either Party may disclose the other Party’s Company Information to the extent required by Law (including in filings made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), or the rules of any national stock exchange or any listing agreement with such stock exchange to which such Party is or has elected to become subject.

	Residual Knowledge

The terms of confidentiality under this Section 16 shall not be construed to limit either Party’s right to independently develop or acquire products without use of the other Party’s Company Information.  The disclosing Party acknowledges that the receiving Party may currently, or in the future, be developing information internally, or receiving information from other Persons, that is similar to the Company Information.  Accordingly, nothing in this this Section 16 will be construed as a representation or agreement that the receiving Party will not develop or have developed for it, products, concepts, systems or techniques that are similar to or compete with the products, concepts, systems or techniques contemplated by or embodied in the Company Information, provided that the receiving Party does not violate any of its obligations under the Agreement in connection with such development.  Further, either Party shall be free to use, for any purpose, Residuals resulting from access to or work with any Company Information, provided that such Party shall maintain the confidentiality of the Company Information as provided herein and provided such use does not infringe or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party. The term “Residuals” means information in non-tangible form which may be retained in the “unaided memory” by Persons who have had access to the Company Information, including ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained therein, provided such Company Information is not expressly incorporated in a tangible form provided by the disclosing Party. For purposes of the Agreement, “unaided memory” means to be remembered by an individual without reference to, use of, or the aid of information in any tangible form, and that is not purposefully or intentionally memorized or retained by such individual prior to or after the Effective Date.

19.3.    Remedies
(a)    All Available Remedies 
At its option, and as further provided by Section 19.3(b) below, either Party may seek all remedies available to it under law and in equity including injunctive relief in the form of specific performance to enforce the Agreement and actions for damages, or, in the case of Customer, to recover the Service Level Credits, subject to the limitations and provisions specified in this Section 19.  To the extent that Customer makes a claim for damages arising under this Agreement, the amount of any recoverable damages shall be reduced by any amounts or credits payable to Customer by Provider under this Agreement related to such claim. 
(b)    Customer Injunctive Relief
Provider acknowledges that its refusal or failure to provide all or any of the Services or comply with this Agreement, or its abandonment of the Agreement or any Service Agreement in violation of this Agreement, or its threat of either of the foregoing (including any violation of Section 16) would each cause irreparable harm, the amount of which would be impossible to estimate, thus making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate.  Provider therefore agrees that Customer shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction compelling specific performance by Provider of its obligations under the Agreement and the applicable Service Agreement(s) without the necessity of Notice, or the posting of any bond or other security, and Provider shall not request the posting of any such bond or other security.  This right shall be in addition to any other remedy available under the Agreement, at law or in equity (including the right to recover damages).

20.3.    Indemnification Procedures
(a)    Notice
An indemnified Party under this Section 20 shall promptly Notify the indemnifying Party of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnity under this Section 20, provided that a failure by an indemnified Party to do so shall not relieve the indemnified Party from any of its obligations under this Section 20 except to the extent that the defense of such Claim is materially prejudiced by such failure. 
(b)    Defense
An indemnifying Party shall, except as provided in the immediately following sentence and the last sentence of this paragraph, assume the defense of such Claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party to represent the indemnified Party in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel and participate in the defense of such Claim, but the fees and expense of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified Party unless: (i) the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) the named Parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is agreed that the indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expense of any indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses

shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the indemnified Party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified Party: (x) if such settlement; (A) involves any form of relief other than the payment of money, (B) involves any finding or admission of any violation of any Law or any of the rights of any Person or (C) has any adverse effect on any other Claims that have been or may be made against the indemnified Party, or (y) if such settlement involves only the payment of money, unless it includes an unconditional release of such indemnified Party of all liability on claims that are the subject of such proceeding. An indemnified Party may assume control of the defense of any Claim: (1) if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under this Section 20, or (2) if, without prejudice to its full right to indemnity under this Section 20: (aa) the indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend or provide indemnification with respect to such Claim, (bb) the indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that a Claim would materially and adversely affect it or any other indemnitees other than as a result of monetary damages that would be fully reimbursed by an indemnifying Party under the Agreement, or (cc) the indemnifying Party refuses or fails to timely assume the defense of such Claim; or (3) in case of Customer, pursuant to Section 20.4.
20.4.    Customer Assumption of Defense
(a)    Assumption 
Following delivery by Customer to Provider of a Notice of Assumption of Defense, Customer shall itself be entitled to assume the defense of a Claim for which Provider is required to indemnify any Customer Indemnitees hereunder, if Customer determines in its reasonable discretion that (i) the Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation of Customer Group (or any other Customer Indemnitees); (ii) the Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against Customer Group; (iii) any such Claim, or the litigation or resolution of any such Claim, involves an issue or matter that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Customer Group; or (v) the Claim relates to Customer’s obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Customer shall have the right to assume such defense upon the delivery of Notice to Provider (a “Customer Assumption Notice”), which Notice shall include the name of the firm(s) and attorney(s) that Customer proposes to engage to defend such claim or action.
(b)    Customer Obligations

Provider’s obligations to pay for the cost of defense of, and any other Losses related to, or arising out of or in connection with, a Claim where Customer elects to assume the defense of such Claim under this Section shall be subject to the following:
		
	(i)
	Provider shall have the right to approve the counsel that Customer seeks to retain in connection with such Claim, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied, so long as there are no (A) nonwaivable conflicts of interest between plaintiffs and such counsel, or (B) nonwaivable conflicts of interest between such counsel and Provider in current litigation or other current adverse proceedings being conducted by a third party, such as a regulatory action or an arbitration or mediation;

		
	(ii)
	Provider shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Claim with counsel of its choosing at its own expense in connection with Provider’s indemnification obligations for such Claim, so long as all decision making authority with respect to such litigation or proceeding remains exclusively with Customer and Provider’s participation does not constitute a conflict of interest or create other prejudice to any Customer Indemnitee; and

		
	(iii)
	Customer shall not enter into any settlement or consent judgment in relation to such Claim without the prior written approval of Provider, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, denied or delayed.

(c)    Provider Obligations
Subject to the preceding conditions, following the delivery of the Customer Assumption Notice, (i) Provider shall not be entitled to assume or continue, as applicable, control of such defense; and (ii) shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by Customer and shall indemnify Customer Indemnitees pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
21.    INSURANCE AND RISK OF LOSS 
21.1.    Provider Insurance

Provider shall deliver, and shall cause Provider Agents performing any portion of the Services under the Agreement to deliver, certificates of insurance verifying the required coverage, in a form reasonably acceptable to Customer, prior to the Commencement Date. Following the Commencement Date, Provider shall provide, and shall cause each of Provider Agents performing any portion of the Services under the Agreement to provide, certificates of insurance verifying the required coverage upon Customer’s written request. Provider agrees to provide, and shall cause each of Provider Agents performing any portion of the Services under the Agreement to provide, in a form reasonably acceptable to Customer, renewals of such certificates of insurance upon receipt of such renewals. Neither Customer’s failure to request evidence of insurance coverage required hereunder nor receipt or acceptance by Customer of any certificate of insurance that does not satisfy the coverage criteria set forth in this Section 21, shall operate as a waiver of Provider’s or Provider Agents’ obligations hereunder.
(c)    General Requirements
With the exception of any captive insurance companies which are Affiliates of Provider, the required insurance shall be provided by insurance companies that have a minimum A.M. Best Rating of A- VII. Provider and any Provider Agents performing any portion of the Services under the Agreement shall include Customer as an additional insured on all policies described in the “Insurance Requirements” Exhibit (other than the workers’ compensation, property, professional liability, cyber liability, errors and omissions, and crime insurance policies). All liability insurance policies shall be written on an “occurrence” policy form, except as expressly provided in the “Insurance Requirements” Exhibit. Customer Group shall be named as loss payee as its interest may appear on the property insurance policy of Provider. Provider shall be responsible for payment of any and all deductibles, self-insured retentions, and self-insurance carried by Provider under its insurance program(s). The coverage afforded under any insurance policy obtained by Provider pursuant to the Agreement shall be primary with respect to Provider’s acts or omissions and not be in excess of, or contributing with, any insurance maintained by Customer Group and its assigns. Provider and Provider Agents shall not perform under the Agreement without the prerequisite insurance. Unless previously agreed to in writing by Customer, Provider and Provider Agents shall comply with the insurance requirements herein and Provider agrees to be solely responsible for any deficiencies in the coverage, policy limits and endorsements of Provider Agents performing any portion of the Services under the Agreement. If Provider or Provider Agents fail to comply with any of the insurance requirements herein, upon Notice to Provider by Customer and a ten day cure period, Customer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to provide or maintain any such insurance, and to deduct the cost thereof from any amounts due and payable to Provider under the Agreement, or, in the event there are no such amounts due and payable, Provider shall reimburse Customer for such costs on demand.

The Parties do not intend to shift all risk of loss to insurance. The including of Customer as additional insured is not intended to be a limitation of Provider’s liability and shall in no event be deemed to, or serve to, limit Provider’s liability to Customer Group to available insurance coverage or to the policy limits specified in this Section 21 nor to limit Customer’s rights to exercise any and all remedies available to Customer under contract, at law or in equity.
		
	21.2.
	Risk of Property Loss

Provider and Customer each shall be responsible for damages to their respective tangible personal or real property (whether owned or leased), and each Party agrees to look only to their own insuring arrangements (if any) with respect to such damages; provided, however, that Provider shall be responsible for damages to tangible property of Customer Group under the control of Provider and Provider Agents (or as to which it has indemnification obligations).
		
	21.3.
	Waiver of Subrogation

(a)    Provider Waiver
Provider waives all rights to recover against Customer Group for any loss or damage to its tangible personal property (whether owned or leased) from any cause covered by insurance maintained by Provider, including any deductible or self-insured retention. Provider will cause its insurers to issue appropriate waivers of subrogation rights endorsements to all property insurance policies maintained by Provider and workers’ compensation coverage; provided, however, Provider shall give Customer Notice if a waiver of subrogation is unobtainable, or obtainable only at additional expense. 
(b)    Provider Agent Waiver
Provider shall cause each of Provider Agents performing any portion of the Services under the Agreement to: (i) waive all rights to recover against Customer Group for any loss or damage to such Provider Agent’s tangible personal property (whether owned or leased) from any cause covered by insurance maintained by such Provider Agent, including its deductibles or self-insured retentions; and (ii) cause their insurers to issue appropriate waivers of subrogation rights endorsements to all property insurance policies maintained by such Provider Agent.

No discussions or interchanges between the Parties with respect to a proposed Contract Change will obligate either Party to approve any Contract Change or will constitute an amendment of the Agreement or any Service Agreement, or a waiver by either Party of any rights thereunder, unless and until reflected in a written amendment signed by the authorized representatives of Customer and Provider.  Upon the signature of a Change Proposal by both Parties, the agreed upon Contract Change(s) will constitute an amendment to the Agreement or the affected Service Agreement, as applicable.

		
	3.4.
	Contract Change Reporting Requirements

(a)    Provider will provide Customer with monthly reports specifying the status of all Contract Change Requests.
(b)    Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a written request from Customer, Provider will give Customer a reasonably detailed report of the status of any pending Contract Change Requests and Change Proposals.
4.OPERATIONAL CHANGE CONTROL PROCEDURES 

		
	4.1.
	Documentation 

The Operational Change Control Procedures will be documented in the applicable Procedures Manual.
		
	4.2.
	Purpose and Objectives

The purpose and objectives of the Operational Change Control Procedures are (i) to prioritize all requests for operational Changes, (ii) to minimize the risk of operational Changes by identifying, documenting, quantifying, controlling, managing and communicating operational Change requests, their disposition and, as applicable, implementation and (iii) to allow Provider to manage operational Changes as required by Customer.  The operational Changes to which the Operational Change Control Procedures will apply shall be more fully defined in the applicable Procedures Manual.
		
	4.3.
	Asset Changes

(c)    The procedures that shall govern the process by which a Party may propose or request material changes to the Assets used in connection with the Services (“Asset Changes”) are subject to the following requirements:
(i)    Provider shall make no Asset Changes that would alter the functionality of the systems used to provide the Services or degrade the performance of the Services, without first obtaining Customer’s approval and mutually agreeing on an acceptance test plan prior to implementation.

Provider may make temporary Asset Changes at any time and without Customer approval to the extent such Asset Changes are necessary (x) to maintain the continuity of the Services, or (y) to correct an event or occurrence that would substantially prevent, hinder or delay the operation of Customer’s critical business functions.  Provider shall promptly notify Customer of all such temporary changes, and shall as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable return the affected systems to their normal state or implement a permanent Asset Change in accordance with this Section 4.3.
(ii)    Prior to using any Provider Equipment or Provider Software to provide the Services affected by the Asset Change, Provider shall utilize customary testing efforts to verify that the item has been properly installed, is operating substantially in conformance to its specifications, and is performing its intended functions in a reliable manner and providing adequate performance consistent with the performance standards applicable immediately prior to the Asset Change.
(iii)    Provider shall follow a formalized methodology in migrating programs from development and testing environments into production environments.
4.4.    Emergency Changes
Notwithstanding the Change consideration and implementation process outlined in this Exhibit 4, if a Change is required to resolve a Priority 1 Incident (“Emergency Change”), Provider shall immediately begin implementing the Emergency Change upon request by Customer.  Provider shall also prepare and deliver to Customer a Change Proposal related to the Emergency Change on an expedited basis and the Parties shall work together in good faith to determine the impact on the Agreement (including without limitation, any impact on the Charges) as a result of implementing the Emergency Change.  If the Parties are unable to agree on the impact on the Agreement within thirty (30) days after Customer has received the Change Proposal related to the Emergency Change from Provider, either Party may consider such failure to agree to be a Dispute, and may escalate such Dispute for resolution in accordance with the Master Agreement with the intention of reaching a mutually agreeable resolution according to the Dispute Resolution Procedures.

With respect to all (i) Services that are identified in a Service Agreement or Work Order as subject to acceptance testing; (ii) Deliverables; and (iii) Critical Transformation Milestones and all other transition, transformation, and Project milestones that are identified in the applicable Service Agreement or Work Order, as such documents may be amended by the Parties from time to time (“Milestones”), upon Provider’s determination that a Service, Deliverable or Milestone materially conforms to all specifications and requirements set forth in the applicable Service Agreement or Work Order, as such documents may be amended by the Parties from time to time (collectively, the “Acceptance Criteria”), Provider shall deliver such Service, Deliverable or Milestone to Customer for acceptance testing or notify Customer in writing that such activity has been completed.  Customer shall thereafter have [ * * * ], or such time as otherwise expressly set forth in the applicable Service Agreement, Work Order or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing (“Acceptance Period”), to review and test the Deliverable, Milestone or the results of the Service for compliance with the Acceptance Criteria.

	3.2
	Failure and Correction

		
	3.2.1
	In the event that any Deliverable, Milestone or result of the Service materially conforms to all Acceptance Criteria, Customer will accept such Deliverable, Milestone or result of the Service in writing.  In the event Customer determines that any Deliverable, Milestone or result of the Service fails to materially conform to the Acceptance Criteria (“Failure”), then Customer will notify Provider within the Acceptance Period, in writing specifying the respects in which such Deliverable, Milestone or result of the Service does not conform to the applicable Acceptance Criteria and what modifications are necessary to make it conform thereto. Thereafter, Provider shall, [ * * * ] correct and redeliver such Deliverable or Milestone to Customer or re‐perform such Service to so conform within [ * * * ] (in either case, the “Correction Period”). The corrected Deliverable, Milestone or result of the Service shall thereafter be subject to the same testing and acceptance procedure set forth in this Exhibit 5.  For the avoidance of doubt, Deliverables, Milestones or results of the Service expressly subject to alternate acceptance procedures are not subject to the procedures set forth in this Exhibit 5 (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing).

	If Provider receives a Failure notice, but is unable to correct, fulfill and redeliver such Deliverable, Milestone or re-perform such Service within the applicable Correction Period (or otherwise fails to deliver a Deliverable, Milestone or results of the Service by the associated due date), it shall notify Customer of such inability in writing and include in such notice a good faith estimate of the number of additional Business Days required for Provider to correct, fulfill and redeliver such Deliverable, Milestone or re-perform such Service (or initially deliver such Deliverable, Milestone or perform such Service, as applicable). Customer shall have the option to: (i) grant Provider additional time to correct, fulfill and redeliver such Deliverable or Milestone to Customer or re-perform such Service (or initially deliver such Deliverable, Milestone or perform such Service, as applicable) in accordance with the testing and Acceptance process described in this Exhibit 5, [ * * * ].

Provider Client Executive shall negotiate to resolve the Dispute within 15 Business Days of receipt of such written notice.  

(b)    Vendor Service Steering Committee.  If the Customer Technical Alliance Manager and Provider Client Executive do not resolve the Dispute within 15 Business Days after the date of referral of the Dispute to them (or such other longer period as the Parties may mutually agree in writing), either Party may submit the Dispute to the Vendor Service Steering Committee, which shall convene to discuss the Dispute within three Business Days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree in writing) of referral of the Dispute to them and shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute, and may include in their meetings such experts or advisors as the Vendor Service Steering Committee may agree. 

(c)    Executive Vendor Business Review Committee.  If the Vendor Service Steering Committee does not resolve the Dispute within 15 Business Days after the date of referral of the Dispute to them (or such other longer period as the Parties may mutually agree in writing), either Party may submit the Dispute to the Executive Vendor Business Review Committee, which shall convene to discuss the Dispute within three Business Days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree in writing) of referral of the Dispute to them and shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute, and may include in their meetings such experts or advisors as the Executive Vendor Business Review Committee may agree.

(d)    Acceleration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event either Party believes at any time and in its sole discretion that the escalation procedure set forth in this Section 3.3 will not resolve the Dispute in a timely or satisfactory manner, such Party may accelerate the Dispute directly to non-binding mediation in accordance with Section 3.4.

(e)    Binding Arbitration. If the Dispute is not resolved by any of the preceding steps and is not resolved by mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 3.5 below.

3.4    Non-Binding Mediation.  Mediation of an unresolved Dispute shall be conducted in the following manner:

(e)    Customer shall be represented in the mediation by at least its Customer Technical Alliance Manager or another natural Person with authority to settle the Dispute on behalf of Customer and, if desired, by counsel for Customer.  Provider shall be represented in the mediation by at least its Provider Client Executive or another natural Person with authority to settle the Dispute on behalf of Provider and, if desired, by counsel for Provider.  The Parties’ representatives in the mediation shall continue with the mediation as long as the mediator requests; provided, however, either Party may refer the Dispute to litigation in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof, if the Dispute is not resolved by the mediator within 30 Business Days after the initial referral to non-binding mediation, notwithstanding the pendency of such mediation.  

(f)    [ * * * ].  Neither Party may employ or use the mediator as a witness, consultant, expert or counsel regarding the Dispute or any related matters.

(b)    If the Parties are unable to agree upon any or all of the arbitrators within 10 days after the filing of the Demand (and do not agree to an extension of that 10-day period), either Party may request the Dallas office of JAMS to appoint a Qualified arbitrator or arbitrators (and at least two of whom must be included in the Complex Dispute List), necessary to complete the Panel in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.

(e)    The arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules to the extent they do not conflict with this Section 3.5.

3.2.    Benchmarking Process Methodology.  
Customer, Provider and the Benchmarker shall conduct the Benchmarking Process according to the following methodology or other methodology proposed by the Benchmarker and agreed to by Customer and Provider:
(a)The Benchmarker shall select a representative sampling of other top tier outsourcing providers providing Comparable Services to organizations similar to Customer (“Comparators”). There shall be at least [ * * * ] Comparators, or such lesser number if the Comparator information available to the Benchmarker is comprised of a lesser number of Comparators [ * * * ]. In the event that the Parties and the Benchmarker cannot agree upon the Comparators, then the Benchmarker shall select the Comparators. The Benchmarker shall make adjustments to the Comparators as necessary to permit a normalized comparison, taking into account factors such as, but not limited to: [ * * * ].  The Benchmarker shall perform a price-based benchmark, comparing the total charges, in aggregate (as normalized pursuant to this Section 3), for the Services that are the subject of the benchmark (the “Benchmarked Services”), against the total charges applicable to similar services with respect to the selected Comparators [ * * * ].
(b)For each Comparator used to calculate a normalized analysis of the Comparators’ charges as compared to the Charges for the Benchmarked Services (the “Benchmark Results”), the Benchmarker shall disclose to Customer and Provider the demographic data (e.g., the total number of resource units and/or other basis on which charges are based, a general description of the service levels and service environment and other similar data) reasonably required for the Parties to understand the basis upon which the Benchmarker determined that the Comparators chosen by the Benchmarker comply with the requirements set forth above.  Due to the confidential nature of Comparator data and nondisclosure agreements to which such data may be subject, the Benchmarker shall not be required to disclose the name of the Comparators, or other potentially identifying information that the Benchmarker believes may compromise the confidentiality of the data.
(c)The data used by the Benchmarker in the Benchmarking Process will be reasonably current, i.e., based on Services provided for Customer and services provided for the Comparators no more than 12 months prior to the start of the Benchmarking Process.
(d)The Benchmarker shall compare each Comparator’s contracted charges with Provider’s Charges for the Benchmarked Services.

(e)The Benchmarker shall use normalization techniques that the Benchmarker deems appropriate to use to generate the Benchmark Results. The Benchmarker shall fully explain its normalization techniques to Provider and Customer.  [ * * * ]
(f)Customer and Provider agree (i) that the Benchmarker will conduct the Benchmarking Process in accordance with the Benchmarker’s own policies, methodologies, and practices, and the requirements of this Section 3, and (ii) to consult with the other Party regularly and cooperate reasonably with the Benchmarker in the Benchmarking Process activities.  The Benchmarker will provide documentation to the Parties regarding its methodology, as well as explaining its normalization process, including pre- and post-normalization data for each Comparator, and shall provide such additional data, analysis and findings, including any supporting documentation, for the Benchmarker’s services to Provider and Customer as appropriate throughout the Benchmarking Process.
(g)Immediately after the Benchmarker’s release of its preliminary Benchmark Results (as set forth in subsection (i) below), Customer and Provider will be permitted to disclose price information under the relevant Service Agreement(s) to the Benchmarker (and if necessary to the Reviewer), subject to execution of an appropriate confidentiality agreement in accordance with Article 16 (Confidentiality and Data) of the Master Agreement.  Provider shall not be obligated to disclose to the Benchmarker (or Reviewer, if applicable) data with respect to its costs or any other customers of Provider.  
(h)All information provided to and obtained from the Benchmarker shall be simultaneously provided to both Provider and Customer unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.  Such information shall be deemed to be confidential information of the providing Party (or, if such information originated with the Benchmarker and is not the Company Information of either Party, of both Parties) under the Master Agreement and shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement executed with the Benchmarker and shall not be used for any other purpose. The Benchmarker (and any Reviewer) shall contract to keep all information associated with the Charges and terms of the Master Agreement and Service Agreements confidential and secure and to use it for no other purposes, including the purpose of adding to any of its databases, except with the express written permission of both Parties.
(i)The Benchmarker shall prepare and concurrently submit to the Parties preliminary Benchmark Results. The Parties shall have ten Business Days to review and submit questions and comments to the Benchmarker. If there are issues raised regarding the preliminary Benchmark Results, either Party may request a joint session with the Benchmarker.  If such request is made, the Benchmarker shall review the issues raised and any other materials submitted by either Party, and shall thereafter, as promptly and practicable, submit final Benchmark Results (including a comparison of the relevant Charges to the relevant Best Value standard(s)) to both Parties, including any revisions to the preliminary Benchmark Results (the date such final Benchmark Results are submitted is referred to herein as the “Completion Date”). [ * * * ]
(j)The Benchmarker shall prepare the complete and final Benchmark Results promptly, but no later than 90 days after the commencement of the Benchmarking Process by the Benchmarker.  If the Benchmarker is for any reason unable to complete the Benchmarking Process within the time
