Order. 

  

	3.3	Where the Client is under an obligation to pass on the Insurance Services to an Authorised Agent, Associated Company or Authorised User, EXL Holdings (US) shall as directed by the
Client, supply the Insurance Services so that Client can pass them on or procure that they are passed on to that Authorised Agent, Associated Company or Authorised User as the case may be provided that the obligations of EXL Holdings (US) in respect
thereof shall be to Client and not the Authorised Agent, Associated Company or Authorised User. The Client shall procure that such Authorised Agent, Authorised Company or Authorised User shall, as necessary, comply with the obligations of the Client
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly understood that Client shall be responsible for the payment of the charges. 

  

	3.4	In the event that any Associated Company which receives the Insurance Services (or any part thereof) pursuant to clause 3.3 ceases to be an Associated Company of the Client
(thereafter the “Divested Entity”) the Divested Entity shall (subject to the Client’s prior written agreement and subject to the Divested Entity being required by the Client to comply with all obligations, the Client remaining
responsible for such compliance by the Divested Entity on it pursuant to this Agreement) be permitted to continue to receive the Insurance Services via or as directed by the Client for a period of one year from the date it so ceases to be an
Associated Company of the Client.

	4	COMMENCEMENT AND TERM 

  

	4.1	This Agreement shall take effect on the Effective Date and shall continue for a minimum period of three years unless and until terminated in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 

  

	4.2	Each Insurance Services Work Order shall take effect on its Commencement Date and shall continue for the duration specified in that Insurance Services Work Order (in relation to

	4.3	For the avoidance of doubt, neither party shall be under an obligation to comply with its obligations hereunder or otherwise to receive or provide Insurance Services (as the case

otherwise expire. Subject to that minimum period for each extension and that maximum aggregate extension and the provision of such notice, the Client may extend the Term of an Insurance Services Work Order as many times as it requires. For the

practicable and in any event by the date specified in paragraph 4 of the applicable Insurance Services Work Order and the Client shall start to carry out Acceptance Tests of the Deliverable in accordance with the Acceptance Tests. The Client shall
use its reasonable endeavours to complete the Acceptance Tests within the specified time after receiving notification that EXL Holdings (US) has completed the Deliverable, where the “specified time” means that period specified for these
purposes in paragraph 4 of the applicable Insurance Services Work Order. EXL Holdings (US) shall provide the assistance in respect of such Acceptance Testing as set out in the Acceptance Tests and EXL Holdings (US) shall be permitted to be present
at such Acceptance Tests. 

  

	6.3	 If, and only if, in the reasonable opinion of the Client, the Deliverable meets all of the Acceptance Criteria, the Deliverable shall have passed its Acceptance
Tests. The only evidence of such acceptance shall be an acceptance certificate in the form set out in 

  

 3 

	 	 
paragraph 4 of the applicable Insurance Services Work Order signed by the Client or else a written decision to that effect from an expert appointed pursuant
to clause 6.9 below. 

  

	6.4	If the Deliverable does not pass its Acceptance Tests, the Client shall provide to EXL Holdings (US) reasons for such failure. Except where the Acceptance Test Due Date has passed
or passes prior to the Deliverable passing the Acceptance Tests (in which case clauses 6.5 and 6.6 shall apply), EXL Holdings (US) shall be given the opportunity to correct any errors in the Deliverable and resubmit the Deliverable for Acceptance
Testing in accordance with clauses 6.2 and 6.3. In such circumstances, this clause 6.4 shall also apply to such resubmission. 

  

	6.5	Where there has been a Fundamental Failure on the part of EXL Holdings (US) to pass the Acceptance Tests, without prejudice to the Client’s other rights and remedies (including
but not limited to the right to claim contractual damages), the Client may terminate this Agreement or the relevant Insurance Services Work Order without any cost or liability whatsoever. 

  

	6.6	Save where there has been a Fundamental Failure on the part of EXL Holdings (US) to pass the Acceptance Tests, if the Deliverable has not passed the Acceptance Tests by the
Acceptance Test Due Date, the Client shall extend the Acceptance Test Due Date for such reasonable period as the Client may specify in which case clause 6.7 shall apply. 

  

	6.7	In the event that the Client extends the Acceptance Test Due Date pursuant to clause 6.6 in circumstances where the failure to pass the Acceptance Tests is for a reason within the
reasonable control of EXL Holdings (US) (but not otherwise) EXL Holdings (US) shall pay to the Client the daily rate for such Deliverable specified in paragraph 4 of the applicable Insurance Services Work Order for each day or part thereof for the
period beginning on the original Acceptance Test Due Date and ending on the date upon which: 

  

	 	6.7.1 	the applicable Insurance Services Work Order is terminated pursuant to clause 6.5 or 6.8; or 

  

	 	6.7.2 	the Deliverable passes the Acceptance Tests pursuant to clause 6.3. 

  

	6.8	In the event that the Client extends the Acceptance Test Due Date pursuant to clause 6.6 and the Deliverable has not passed the Acceptance Tests by such extended Acceptance Test Due
Date, the Client may, at its sole option, reapply clause 6.6 or alternatively terminate the applicable Insurance Services Work Order and, if the failure to pass the Acceptance Test is for a reason within the reasonable control of EXL Holdings (US)
(but not otherwise) then such termination shall be in accordance with Schedule 7. This is whether or not the reason for the failure to pass the Acceptance Tests by such extended Acceptance Test Due Date is due to a Fundamental Failure.

  

	6.9	Any dispute as to whether or not a Deliverable meets all of the Acceptance Criteria shall be referred to Director Offshore Operations for the Client and Vice Chairman & Chief
Executive Officer for EXL Holdings (US) for the time being (or, in the case of EXL Holdings (US) such other person or persons authorised by its board of directors, each of whom shall in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute within 14 days. If
such persons fail to reach agreement the dispute shall be referred to the Independent Accountants at the request of either Party. The Independent Accountants shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and decision shall (in the absence of clerical
or manifest error) be final and binding on the parties. The Independent Accountant’s fee for so acting shall be borne in equal shares by the Parties unless it determines that the conduct of one of them is such that such Party should bear all or
a greater proportion of those expert’s fees.
