	 	(ii)	IBM shall provide Transfer Assistance Services to ACE or its designee regardless of the reason for the expiration or termination of the Term; provided, if the Agreement is
terminated by IBM under Section 20.1(b) or (c) for ACE’s default, IBM may require ACE to (i) pay in advance for Transfer Assistance Services to be provided or performed under this Section 4.3.,
(ii) pay all outstanding undisputed charges, and (ii) establish an escrow account based on mutually agreed terms to ensure payment of future charges. 

  

	 	(iii)	To the extent ACE requests Transfer Assistance Services, such Services shall be provided subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. IBM shall
perform the Transfer Assistance Services with at least the same degree of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and cost-effectiveness as it provided and was required to provide the same or similar Services during the Term. The
quality and level of performance of the Services provided by IBM following the expiration or termination of the Term with respect to all or part of the Services or IBM’s receipt of a notice of termination or non-renewal shall not be materially
degraded or deficient in any respect. 

  

	 	(b)	Scope of Service. As part of the Transfer Assistance Services, IBM will timely transfer the control and responsibility for all information technology functions and Services
previously performed by or for IBM to ACE and/or ACE’s designees by the execution of any documents reasonably necessary to effect such transfers. Additionally, IBM shall provide any and all reasonable assistance requested by ACE to allow:

  

	 	(i)	the systems associated with the Services to operate efficiently; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Services to continue without material interruption or material adverse effect; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the orderly transfer of the Services to ACE and/or its designee(s). 

  
 The Transfer Assistance Services shall consist of the Services, functions and responsibilities set forth on Schedule I In addition, IBM
will provide the following assistance and Services at ACE’s direction: 
  

	 	(1)	IBM shall, at ACE’s cost,: (i) assist ACE in developing a written transition plan for the transition of the Services to ACE or ACE’s designee, which plan shall
include capacity planning, facilities planning, telecommunications planning and other planning necessary to effect the transition, (ii) perform consulting services as requested to assist in implementing the transition plan, (iii) train
personnel designated by ACE in the use and maintenance of any Software utilized in the delivery of the Services for which IBM provides maintenance under this Agreement, (iv) catalog all Software, ACE Data and Equipment used to provide the

	 	(2)	 ACE or ACE’s designee shall be permitted to undertake, without interference from IBM, or IBM Affiliates, to hire any IBM or IBM Affiliate employee performing
the Services full-time, on-site at ACE, within the 6-month period prior to the expiration or termination date. IBM shall waive, and shall cause its Affiliates to waive, their rights, if any, under contracts 

	 	 
with such personnel restricting the ability of such full-time, on-site personnel to be recruited or hired by ACE or its designee. ACE or its designee shall
have reasonable access to such IBM or IBM Affiliate employees for interviews, evaluations and recruitment to the extent that the provision of the Services is not impacted. ACE shall endeavor to conduct the above-described hiring activity in a manner
that is not unnecessarily disruptive of the performance by IBM of its obligations under this Agreement and IBM shall be relieved of Service Levels to the extent impacted by such activity. 

  

	 	(3)	To the extent ACE or its designee is entitled under Section 14.6 to a license, sublicense or other right to use any Software utilized in performing the Services,
IBM shall provide ACE or its designee with such license, sublicense or other right subject to the terms of Section 14.6. 

  

	 	(4)	ACE or its designee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase at agreed upon prices, or assume the lease for at its expense, any Equipment owned or leased by IBM
that is used by IBM, IBM Subcontractors or IBM Affiliates and dedicated to perform the Services. Such Equipment shall be transferred in “AS-IS” condition, as of (a) the expiration or termination date of this Agreement, or (b) the
completion of any Services associated with such Equipment requested by ACE under Section 4.3(b), whichever is later. 

  

	 	(5)	IBM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to ACE or its designee at ACE’s expense, pursuant to such third party terms and conditions, any third party
services dedicated solely to the performance of the Services at ACE. IBM shall be entitled to retain the right to utilize any such third party services in connection with the performance of services for any other IBM customer.

  

	 	(6)	IBM shall inform ACE of Equipment Leases and Third Party Contracts used by IBM, IBM Subcontractors or IBM Affiliates and dedicated solely to perform the Services. ACE or its
designees may, at ACE’s option and to the extent IBM is permitted to assign such contracts, assume prospectively responsibility for any or all of such contracts upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. If ACE agrees to
do so, IBM shall assign the designated Equipment Leases and Third Party Contracts to ACE or its designee as of the expiration or termination date or the completion of any Services associated with such Equipment or Third Party Contracts requested by
ACE under Section 4.3(b), whichever is later. IBM shall represent and warrant that such Equipment Leases and Third Party Contracts used by IBM are not in default and that all payments have been made thereunder through the date of
assignment. 

  

	 	(7)	For a period of six (6) months following the expiration or termination date, IBM shall provide to the Eligible Recipient(s), at ACE’s written request 180 days prior to the
expiration or termination date, the Services being performed for such Eligible Recipients by IBM prior to the expiration or termination date. In addition, at ACE’s written request 180 days prior to the expiration or termination date, and
provided that ACE is pursuing a migration of some or all of the Services to itself or a third party, IBM shall provide to the Eligible Recipient(s) such Services for an additional period not to exceed six (6) months from the end of such six
(6) month period. To the extent ACE requests such Services, ACE will pay IBM the Charges specified in Schedule J that ACE would have been obligated to pay IBM for such Services if this Agreement had not yet expired or been
terminated. 

  

	 	(8)	 If IBM uses a proprietary communications network to provide Services to ACE or the Eligible Recipients, then for a period of no more than six (6) months
following the expiration 

	 	 
or termination date, ACE may request that IBM continue to provide such proprietary communications network Services at the rates available to IBM.

  

	 	(9)	Except as provided in Sections 4.3(b)(7) and (8), if ACE requests that IBM provide or perform Transfer Assistance Services in accordance with this Agreement, ACE will
continue to pay IBM the Charges specified in Schedule J for the Services that have expired or have been terminated through the Transfer Assistance Period. If Transfer Assistance Services require additional resources beyond those steady
state resources being used to provide the Services, ACE will pay IBM for such usage as a New Service. 

  

	 	(c)	Survival of Terms. This Section 4.3 shall survive termination/expiration of the Term. 

  

	5.	REQUIRED CONSENTS 

  

	 	(a)	ACE shall obtain all Required Consents. Each party shall pay fifty percent (50%) of any fees (such as transfer, relicensing or upgrade fees) associated with obtaining any
Required Consents and any other costs that result from the termination or underutilization of any agreement with a third party (the “Required Consent Costs”); provided, however, that ACE shall not be required to pay more than
two million ($2,000,000) dollars as Required Consent Costs and IBM shall be responsible for all Required Consent Costs after ACE has paid such amount. IBM shall undertake all administrative activities necessary to obtain the Required Consents. If
ACE requests, IBM will cooperate with ACE in obtaining the Required Consents by executing certain written communications and other documents prepared or provided by ACE. 

  

	 	(b)	If, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, ACE is unable to obtain a Required Consent, then, unless and until such Required Consent is obtained, IBM and ACE shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine and adopt, subject to ACE’s prior approval, such alternative approaches as are necessary and sufficient for IBM to provide the Services without such Required Consent. If such alternative approaches
are required for a period longer than ninety (90) days following the Commencement Date, the Parties will equitably adjust the terms and reduce the prices specified in this Agreement to reflect any additional costs being incurred and any
Services not being received by ACE and the Eligible Recipients. In addition, if, pursuant to the above, the Parties fail to obtain a Required Consent or an acceptable alternative approach within ninety (90) days of the Commencement Date and
such failure has a material adverse impact on the use or enjoyment of the Services by ACE or the Eligible Recipients, ACE will terminate the Agreement or any affected portion thereof without payment of any Termination Charges; provided, however that
ACE will reimburse IBM with respect to related Acquired Assets for payment by ACE of the associated portions of the Acquired Assets Credit. IBM and ACE will discuss whether the termination will be of the Agreement or the affected portion. Upon any
such termination, IBM shall sell and assign the Acquired Assets back to ACE. Each Party agrees that it shall not allege that a failure to obtain a Required Consent after using the efforts required under this Section 5 is a breach
of this Agreement. 

  

	6.	FACILITIES, SOFTWARE, EQUIPMENT, CONTRACTS AND ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROVISION OF SERVICES 

  

	6.1	Service Facilities 

  

	 	(a)	 Service Facilities. The Services shall be provided at or from (i) the data centers and other service locations owned or leased by ACE and set forth on
Schedule O, (ii) those IBM Facilities, in use at the effective date of Amendment 11, (iii) any other service location as may be agreed upon by 

	 	 
IBM and ACE. IBM represents and warrants that, as of the effective date of Amendment 11, no Services other than the Services listed in Schedule V have been
provided to ACE under this Agreement from any location other than a location in the United States, and that such Services have been provided only from the countries listed on Schedule V. 

  
 Except as provided in Schedule V, IBM shall provide all Services from IBM

power, water, natural gas or local telephone services. 

  

	 	(e)	IBM’s Responsibilities Regarding Facilities. Except as provided in Sections 6.1 (a), (b), (c) and (d), IBM shall be responsible for providing all
furniture, fixtures, Equipment, space and other facilities required to perform the Services and all upgrades, improvements, replacements and additions to such furniture, fixtures, Equipment, space and facilities. IBM shall provide all necessary
emergency power supply and uninterrupted power supply services and all necessary Equipment at IBM Facilities. IBM shall not be responsible for any failure to perform its obligations under this Section 6.1(e) arising as a direct
result of any failure of ACE to perform its obligations under Section 6.1(d). 

  

	 	(f)	Physical Security. ACE is responsible for the physical security of the ACE Facilities; provided, that IBM shall be responsible for compliance by IBM Personnel with the
security and safety standards and procedures that are enforced by ACE and applicable to the ACE Facilities, provided that IBM received a copy of such standards and procedures and has an opportunity to review the same in advance of the commencement
of IBM’s responsibility under this Section 6.1(f). Such standards and procedures may be modified by ACE from time to time subject to the New Services provision of the Agreement. 

  

	 	(g)	Employee Services. Subject to applicable security requirements, ACE will permit IBM Personnel to use all employee facilities (e.g., parking, cafeteria, and common facilities)
at the ACE Facilities that are generally made available to the employees of ACE or the Eligible Recipients. IBM Personnel will not be permitted to use such employee facilities designated by ACE for the exclusive use of certain ACE or Eligible
Recipient employees. 

  

	 	(h)	Use of ACE Facilities. Unless IBM obtains ACE’s prior written agreement, which may be withheld by ACE in its sole discretion, IBM shall use the ACE Facilities only to
provide the Services to ACE and the Eligible Recipients. ACE reserves the right to relocate an ACE Facility from which the Services are then being provided by IBM to another geographic location; provided that, in such event, ACE will provide
IBM with comparable space, facilities and resources in the new location at no cost to IBM. ACE shall also be responsible for the reasonable cost associated with such relocation including personnel relocation, moving expenses and start-up and fit up
activities. In the event that such relocation impacts IBM’s ability to provide the Services in accordance with the Service Levels, IBM shall be relieved from Service Levels until the relocation is complete and the Service Levels are
appropriately adjusted by the Parties. ACE also reserves the right to direct IBM to cease using all or part of the space in an ACE Facility from which the Services are then being provided by IBM and to thereafter use such space for its own purposes;
provided that, in such event, ACE shall reimburse IBM for the incremental Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by IBM as a result of such direction, and IBM shall not be responsible for any failures of IBM to perform Services at the Service Levels
required by this Agreement to the extent such failures result from such use or direction of ACE. 

  

	 	(i)	Conditions for Return. When the ACE Facilities are no longer to be used by IBM as contemplated by Section 6.1 or are otherwise no longer required for
performance of the Services, IBM shall return them to ACE in substantially the same condition (as they may have been improved) as when IBM began use of such facilities, subject to reasonable wear and tear. 

	 	(j)	No Violation of Laws. IBM shall (i) ensure that the ACE Facilities are treated in a reasonable manner, and (ii) ensure that neither IBM nor any of its
Subcontractors commit any act in violation of any Laws in such IBM occupied ACE Facility or any act in violation of ACE’s insurance policies or in breach of ACE’s obligations under the applicable real estate leases in such IBM occupied ACE
Facilities to the extent that such insurance policies and leases have been previously disclosed to IBM. IBM shall not be responsible for any violations of Laws in the ACE Facilities occupied by IBM to the extent such violations are created or
otherwise caused by ACE or ACE’S direction. 

  

	 	(k)	Transition Use. Following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, ACE will allow IBM the use of those ACE Facilities then being used to perform the Services for a
period of up to 60 days following the effective date of the expiration or termination (inclusive of any Transfer Assistance Services period) to enable IBM to conduct an orderly transition of IBM resources.

Recipients during the Term and the Transfer Assistance Services period, at no additional charge, a non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to access and/or use for the sole benefit of ACE and the Eligible Recipients only and to permit third
parties to use during the Term and the Transfer Assistance Services period and solely in connection with providing goods and services to ACE, the IBM Owned Software and the Third Party Software as to which IBM holds the license or for which IBM is
financially responsible under Section 6.2 and Schedules F and F.1 that is necessary for use by ACE as contemplated by this Agreement during the Term and the Transfer Assistance Services period, including related
documentation, methodology and tools. ACE and the Eligible Recipients shall not use any IBM Owned Software or IBM Owned Materials for the benefit of any person or Entity other than ACE and the Eligible Recipients without the prior written consent of
IBM, which may be withheld at IBM’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, source code relating to IBM or Third Party Software will not be provided under this Agreement. 
  

	6.8	Access to Third Party Software and Maintenance 

  
 Subject to ACE having obtained any Required Consents, as of the Commencement Date, ACE hereby grants to IBM (or, at IBM’s request, to one of its
Subcontractors) for the sole purpose of performing the Services during the Term and the Transfer Assistance Services period, the same rights to access and use ACE Third Party Software and related ACE Third Party Contracts as to which ACE is
retaining financial responsibility that ACE has with respect to such Third Party Software and Third Party Contracts. IBM and its Subcontractors shall comply with the duties, including use restrictions and those of nondisclosure, imposed on ACE by
such licenses and agreements to the extent IBM is advised in writing of such restrictions. Except as otherwise requested or approved by ACE (or the relevant licensor), IBM and its Subcontractors shall cease all use of such ACE Third Party Software
and ACE Third Party Contracts when the Term and Transfer Assistance Services period ends. 

	6.9	Acquired Assets 

  
 ACE agrees to convey to IBM, and IBM agrees to accept, as of the Commencement Date, all of ACE’s right, title and interest in and to the Acquired
Assets, subject to certain restrictions regarding the use of the same and providing access to the same set forth in the Systems Facilities Agreement. In consideration for such conveyance, IBM agrees to pay ACE the Acquired Assets Credit. ACE
represents and warrants to IBM that IBM shall take good title to the Acquired Assets as of the Commencement Date, free and clear of all liens. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.9, ACE CONVEYS THE ACQUIRED
ASSETS TO IBM ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. ACE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUIRED ASSETS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ACE agrees to pass through to IBM any warranties made by third parties regarding the Acquired Assets, to the extent ACE is permitted to do so by such third parties. To the
extent that IBM reconveys to ACE the Acquired Assets, IBM will do so in the same condition that IBM received such Acquired Assets except for reasonable wear and tear. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, TO THE EXTENT THAT IBM RECONVEYS TO
ACE THE ACQUIRED ASSETS, THEY ARE RECONVEYED TO ACE ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS, AND IBM HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH RECONVEYED ACQUIRED ASSETS,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 
  

	6.10	Notice of Defaults

	6.11	[Reserved] 

  

	6.12	[Reserved] 

  

	7.	SERVICE LEVELS 

  

	7.1	General 

  
 At all times, IBM shall perform the Services at levels of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness, productivity and user satisfaction
that are equal to or higher than the levels of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, productivity and user satisfaction received by ACE or the Eligible Recipients prior to the Commencement Date. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing or the other obligations of IBM, on or before one hundred and eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Transition Period, the Parties will establish mutually acceptable Service Levels. IBM shall
perform the Services so as to meet or exceed the Service Levels set forth in Schedule G. 

	7.2	Service Level Credits 

  
 IBM recognizes that its failure to meet critical Service Levels may have a material adverse impact on the business and operations of ACE and that the
damages resulting from IBM’s failure to meet such Service Levels may not be capable of precise determination. Accordingly, if IBM fails to meet any such Service Level for reasons other than the actions of ACE or circumstances that constitute
Force Majeure, then, within thirty (30) days from the date that the failure is reported to ACE by IBM, ACE may notify IBM that it is reserving, and may exercise, its rights at law and in equity. In the event that ACE, in its sole discretion,
elects to accept Service Level Credits for such failure, ACE shall not be entitled to other remedies as a result of IBM’s failure to meet such Service Levels, and IBM shall pay ACE the performance credits specified in
Schedule G (“Service Level Credits”). 
  

	7.3	Problem Analysis 

  
 If IBM fails to provide Services in accordance with the Agreement, IBM shall (i). provide a Root Cause Analysis of such failure no later than ten
(10) Business Days after such failure (ii) develop and implement a plan in conjunction with ACE to correct the problem; and (iii) advise ACE, as and to the extent reasonably requested by ACE, of the status of remedial efforts being
undertaken with respect to such problem. IBM may charge ACE for identifying, detailing and correcting failures to the extent such failures are caused by ACE, its agents, Affiliates or Eligible Recipients. 
  

	7.4	Measurement and Monitoring 

  
 IBM shall implement measurement and monitoring tools and metrics as well as standard reporting procedures to measure and report IBM’s performance of
the Services against the applicable Service Levels. IBM shall provide ACE with read-only access to on-line change and problem management databases which shall be limited to ACE databases, in accordance with Schedule E, containing
up-to-date information regarding the status of service problems, service requests and user inquiries. IBM also shall provide ACE with information and access to the measurement and monitoring tools and procedures utilized by IBM for purposes of audit
verification. ACE shall not be required to pay for such measurement and monitoring tools or the resource utilization associated with their use. 
  

	7.5	ACE Satisfaction Surveys 

  
 At ACE’s request, but no more frequently than annually, IBM and/or independent third parties engaged by IBM shall conduct the satisfaction surveys of
ACE’s management and End Users described in Schedule S in accordance with the survey protocols and procedures specified therein. To the extent IBM engages an independent third party to perform all or any part of any
satisfaction survey, such third party shall be approved in advance by ACE. If the results of any satisfaction survey indicate that the level of satisfaction with IBM’s performance is less than the target level specified in
Schedule S, IBM shall promptly: (i) analyze and report on the root cause of the management or user dissatisfaction; (ii) develop an action plan to address and improve the level of satisfaction; (iii) present such
plan to ACE for its review, comment and approval and (iv) take action in accordance with the approved plan and as necessary to improve the level of satisfaction. ACE and IBM shall establish a schedule for completion of the root cause analysis
and the preparation and approval of the action plan which shall be reasonable and consistent with the severity and materiality of the problem; provided, that the time for completion of such tasks shall not exceed thirty (30) days from
the date such user survey results are finalized and reported unless such tasks cannot be completed through use of continuous diligent efforts, in which case such tasks shall be completed as soon as possible. IBM’s action plan developed
hereunder shall specify the specific measures to be taken by IBM and the dates by which each such action shall be completed. Following implementation of such action plan, IBM will conduct follow-up surveys with the affected ACE End 

 
Users and management to confirm that the cause of any dissatisfaction has been addressed and that the level of satisfaction has improved. 
  

	8.	PROJECT PERSONNEL 

  

	8.1	[Reserved] 

  

	8.2	Employee Benefit Plans 

  

	 	(a)	General. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, IBM shall offer to enroll the Transitioned Employee and his or her eligible dependents, effective
as of the Transitioned Employee’s Employment Effective Date, in the employee plans of IBM or a subcontractor that are made available to similarly situated employees of IBM or the subcontractor. IBM has listed all of such employee plans on
Schedule M and provided ACE with true and complete copies of the most recent summary plan descriptions and summary of material modifications for such employee plans or has provided a written summary where no current summary plan
description exists. During the Term of this Agreement and any extension thereof, compensation and benefits provided by IBM or a subcontractor to the Transitioned Employees shall, in the aggregate, be no less favorable than the compensation and
benefits generally available to IBM’s or its subcontractor’s employees. 

  

	 	(b)	Years of Service Credit. In addition to service credited under Section 8.1(f) with respect to IBM’s and subcontractor’s severance program, the service of a
Transitioned Employee prior to his Employment Effective Date, which is recognized by ACE or CIGNA, shall be recognized for purposes of vacation eligibility. If ACE wishes IBM or a subcontractor to recognize prior ACE or CIGNA service for vesting,
and/or immediate participation, in the personal pension account, and/or immediate participation or opening account balances in the Future Health Account, IBM will price those options for ACE. 

  

	 	(c)	Employee Welfare Benefit Plans. Each Transitioned Employee shall be eligible as of his or her Employment Effective Date to participate immediately in IBM’s or a
subcontractor’s employee welfare benefit plans (“welfare plans”), provided that the Transitioned Employee enrolls in such plan within the time period established by IBM or subcontractor, which shall include medical care,
hospitalization, life, accidental death and dismemberment, prescription drug, dental, short term disability and long term disability. Transitioned Employees and their beneficiaries who, as of the applicable Employment Effective Date, are undergoing
a course of treatment or are hospitalized shall remain covered by the applicable ACE medical or dental plan until the earlier of the end of the course of treatment or hospitalization or the expiration of 60 days from the Employment Effective Date,
provided that the 60 day period may be extended at the discretion of ACE. Subject to the general comparability requirements in Section 8.2(a), eligibility for, the benefits of, and the amount, if any, of employee contributions
toward welfare plan coverage will be determined by IBM or the subcontractor; provided, however, that each of IBM’s welfare plans (except for optional Group Universal Life Insurance), shall (i) waive all pre-existing condition exceptions,
exclusionary provisions and/or waiting periods for each such Transitioned Employee and any eligible spouse or covered dependents, and (ii) grant credit for years of service in accordance with Section 8.2(b). In addition,
medical deductibles paid in the calendar year of the Employment Effective Date by any Transitioned Employee shall be applied toward medical deductibles required by IBM’s and subcontractor’s group insurance program for the calendar year of
the Employment Effective Date. 

	 	(d)	Paid-Time-Off (Vacation/Sick Leave). Beginning on the Employment Effective Date, IBM shall make available to all Transitioned Employees paid-time-off benefits for vacation
and absence from the workplace due to illness under its applicable plans, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans in effect from time to time, and shall recognize for purposes of accrual the years of service of such
Transitioned Employees prior to their Employment Effective Dates determined in accordance with Section 8.2(b). The paid-time-off benefits provided by IBM shall be no less favorable than those provided under the applicable ACE plan
as of the Employment Effective Date and no less favorable than the vacation and absence from the workplace due to illness benefits generally available to IBM’s employees. Vendor shall recognize vacation plans made by the Transitioned Employees
and approved by ACE prior to the Employment Effective Date. 

  

	 	(e)	Savings Plans. IBM agrees to provide Transitioned Employees from their respective Employment Effective Dates with the opportunity to participate in a defined contribution
plan which is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “IBM Savings Plan”), which complies with the requirements of Sections 8.2(a) and 8.2(b). IBM shall review the plan documents for the Savings and
Investment Plan of CIGNA and any other qualified defined contributions plan maintained by CIGNA in which any of the Transitioned Employees participated prior to the Commencement Date (collectively, “the defined contribution plans”), and
any other documents related to the defined contribution plans that it deems relevant, to determine whether a trust-to-trust transfer of the account balances, or any portion of the account balances of the Transitioned Employees under the defined
contribution plans from the trust funds maintained pursuant thereto to the trust fund maintained pursuant to the IBM Tax Deferred Savings Plan (“TDSP”) would be consistent with the provisions and policies of TDSP. IBM shall notify ACE of
its determination and, if applicable, shall specify the conditions that must be satisfied in advance of such transfer and the portion, if any, of the account balances of the Transitioned Employees that would not be included in such transfer. In the
event that IBM notifies ACE and CIGNA that a trust-to-trust transfer of the account balances of the Transitioned Employees under one or more of the defined contribution plans, upon such conditions and subject to such exclusions as IBM may specify,
would be consistent with the provisions and policies of TDSP, then ACE, together with CIGNA, shall determine whether any of the defined contribution plans will undertake such a transfer and, if so, whether the Transitioned Employees will be given
the opportunity to make an election as to whether their account balance under such defined contribution plan, or any portion thereof, will be included in the transfer. In the event that IBM and ACE agree to a trust-to-trust transfer from one of the
defined contributions plans to TDSP, then the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such a transfer to take place within 120 days of the hire date for the Transitioned Employees. It is expressly understood that neither IBM nor
ACE (with CIGNA) shall have an obligation to agree to a transfer of assets from the trust fund maintained pursuant to any of the defined contribution plans to the trust fund maintained pursuant to TDSP or to a rollover of account balances to the
TDSP, if either party determines in good faith and it its sole discretion that such a transfer would be unduly burdensome, or could jeopardize the tax qualified status of its plan, or would otherwise be inconsistent with applicable legal and
regulatory requirements. 

  

	 	(f)	Reimbursement Account Plans. As of the Effective Date, IBM shall provide dependent care and health care reimbursement account plans for the benefit of the Transitioned
Employees. 

  

	 	(g)	 Tuition Assistance. Transitioned Employees shall be eligible to participate in all tuition assistance programs provided by IBM to its similarly situated
employees. Courses which are in progress as of the enrolled Transitioned Employee’s Employment Effective Date and for which tuition assistance has been approved by ACE, and courses which have been approved by ACE and paid for by the
Transitioned Employee prior to the Employment Effective Date shall be reimbursed by IBM at the completion of the course, provided all of the requisites for reimbursement under the ACE program have been approved. “Course”
refers to specific classes in progress or scheduled to start during a 

	 	 
particular term and does not refer to a degree program. IBM’s obligation to reimburse for the Courses is limited to those employees and Courses which
were previously identified prior to the Commencement Date. 

  

	 	(h)	Bonus Programs. IBM shall provide to the Transitioned Employees bonus programs no less favorable than the bonus programs available to similarly situated employees of IBM.

  

	 	(i)	Retiree Medical. Transitioned Employees will participate in IBM’s or subcontractor’s retiree medical benefit plan(s) on the same terms and conditions as similarly
situated employees of IBM or subcontractor. 

  

	 	(j)	Restricted Stock. ACE may, in its discretion, grant awards of restricted stock to individuals who become Transitioned Employees. Any such grant shall be effective as of a
date on or before the date the Transitioned Employee becomes an employee of IBM or a subcontractor. In ACE’s discretion, any such grant may provide that the Transitioned Employee’s right to vest in such award or awards will be dependent on
continued employment with IBM or a subcontractor for a specified period, and the identity of the Transitioned Employees holding such awards shall be provided to IBM by ACE. IBM shall notify ACE, not less frequently than quarterly, of the employment
status and other information that ACE reasonably requires with respect to such individuals to determine the vesting status of such awards (or otherwise to administer the awards). 

  

	8.3	Other Employee Matters 

  
 IBM shall be responsible for funding and distributing benefits under the benefit plans in which Transitioned Employees participate on or after the
Employment Effective Date and for paying any compensation and remitting any income, disability, withholding and other employment taxes for such Transitioned Employees beginning on the Employment Effective Date. Unless otherwise agreed, ACE shall be
responsible for funding and distributing benefits under the ACE benefit plans in which Transitioned Employees participated prior to the Employment Effective Date and for paying any compensation and remitting any income, disability, withholding and
other employment taxes for such Transitioned Employees for the period prior to the Employment Effective Date. ACE shall provide IBM with information in ACE’s possession reasonably required by IBM to fulfill its obligations under this
Article 8. 
  

	8.4	Key IBM Personnel 

  

	 	(a)	Approval of Key IBM Personnel 

  

	 	(i)	Before assigning an individual to act as one of the Key IBM Personnel whether as an initial assignment or a subsequent assignment, IBM shall notify ACE of the proposed assignment,
shall introduce the individual to appropriate ACE representatives, shall provide reasonable opportunity for ACE representatives to interview the individual, and shall provide ACE with a resume and such other information about the individual as may
be reasonably requested by ACE. If ACE, in good faith, objects to the proposed assignment for a specified lawful reason, the Parties shall attempt to resolve ACE’s concerns on a mutually agreeable basis. If the Parties have not been able to
resolve ACE’s concerns within ten (10) Business Days, IBM shall not assign the individual to that position and shall propose to ACE the assignment of another individual of suitable ability and qualifications. 

  

	 	(ii)	The Key IBM Personnel that have been approved are listed in Schedule C. 

	 	(iii)	The Parties may from time to time change the positions designated as Key IBM Personnel under this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Continuity of Key IBM Personnel 

  
 IBM shall cause each of the Key IBM Personnel to devote substantially full time and effort for the period specified in Schedule C to
the provision of the Services under this Agreement. IBM shall not transfer, reassign or remove any of the Key IBM Personnel (except where the Key Personnel (i) voluntarily resigns from IBM, (ii) is dismissed by IBM for violations of
conditions of employment (e.g., fraud, drug abuse, theft), (iii) fails to perform his or her duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement in IBM’s reasonable judgment or (iv) dies or is unable to work due to his or her
disability) or announce its intention to do so during the specified period without ACE’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. IBM shall transfer, reassign or remove one of its Key IBM Personnel only after
(i) giving ACE at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of such action, and (ii) complying with the requirement of Article 8.4(a)(i) above. 
  

	 	(c)	Continuity of Critical Support Personnel

	8.6	IBM Personnel Are Not ACE Employees 

  
 Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Parties intend to create an independent contractor relationship and nothing in this
Agreement shall operate or be construed as making ACE or IBM partners, joint venturers, principals, agents or employees of the other. No officer, director, employee, agent, Affiliate, contractor or subcontractor retained by IBM to perform work on
ACE’s behalf hereunder shall be deemed to be an officer, director, employee, agent, Affiliate, contractor or subcontractor of ACE. IBM, not ACE, has the right, power, authority and duty to supervise and direct the activities of the IBM
Personnel and to compensate such IBM Personnel for any work performed by them on ACE’s behalf pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	8.7	Replacement, Qualifications, and Retention of IBM Personnel 

  

	 	(a)	IBM shall assign sufficient IBM personnel (including Subcontractors) to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement and such IBM personnel shall possess suitable
competence, ability and qualifications and shall be properly educated and trained for the Services they are to perform. 

  

	 	(b)	 In the event that ACE determines reasonably, lawfully and in good faith that the continued assignment to ACE of any IBM personnel (including Key IBM Personnel and
IBM Subcontractors) is not in the best interests of ACE, then ACE shall give IBM written notice to that effect specifying the reason for 

	 	 
its position and requesting that such IBM Personnel be replaced. Promptly after its receipt of such a request by ACE, IBM shall investigate the matters
stated in the request and discuss its findings with ACE. If IBM determines that ACE’s request is reasonable, lawful and in good faith, IBM shall take appropriate action. If requested to do so by ACE, IBM shall immediately remove the individual
in question from all ACE Sites pending completion of IBM’s investigation and discussions with ACE. If, following discussions with IBM, ACE still in good faith requests replacement of such IBM Personnel, IBM shall promptly replace such IBM
Personnel with an individual of suitable ability and qualifications. Nothing in this provision shall operate or be construed to limit IBM’s responsibility for the acts or omission of the IBM Personnel. 

  

	 	(c)	If ACE determines that IBM’s turnover rate is excessive and so notifies IBM, IBM shall provide reasonable data concerning its turnover rate and shall meet with ACE to discuss
the reasons for the turnover rate. IBM shall submit to ACE for its approval a proposal for reducing the turnover rate to an acceptable level. Notwithstanding any transfer or turnover of IBM Personnel, IBM shall remain obligated to perform the
Services without degradation and in accordance with the Performance Standards. 

  

	8.8	Training/Career Opportunities

processes and procedures shall be included in the Procedures Manual. However, no failure or inability of the quality assurance procedures to disclose any errors or problems with the Services shall excuse IBM’s failure to comply with the
Performance Standards and other terms of this Agreement. 
  

	9.6	Architecture, Standards and Information Technology Planning 

  

	 	(a)	 As requested by ACE and as a New Service, IBM shall assist ACE in defining information technology architectures and standards on an ongoing basis and in preparing
long-term strategic information technology plans and short-term implementation plans on an annual basis (each an “Information Systems Plan”). The assistance to be provided by IBM shall include (i) participation with ACE
representatives on permanent and ad-hoc committees and working groups addressing such issues; (ii) assessments of the then-current information technology architectures, standards and systems; (iii) analyses of the appropriate direction for
such architectures, standards and systems in light of business 

	 	 
priorities, business strategies and competitive market forces; and (iv) recommendations regarding information technology architectures and platforms,
software and hardware products, information technology strategies and directions, and other enabling technologies. With respect to each recommendation, IBM shall provide: (i) cost projections and cost/benefit analyses; (ii) the changes, if
any, in the personnel and other resources required to operate and support the changed environment; (iii) the resulting impact on ACE’s information technology costs; (iv) the expected performance, quality, responsiveness, efficiency,
reliability and other service levels; and (v) general plans and projected time schedules for development and implementation. 

  

	 	(b)	ACE shall have final authority to promulgate information technology architectures, standards and plans and to modify or grant waivers from such architectures, standards or plans.
IBM shall subject to mutual agreement through the Change Control process (i) comply with and enforce the information technology architectures, standards and plans established by ACE, (ii) modify the Services as and to the extent necessary
to conform to such architectures, standards and plans, and (iii) obtain ACE’s prior approval for any deviations from such architectures, standards or plans. 

  

	 	(c)	IBM shall provide the following information to ACE for its forecasting and budgeting processes: (i) base utilization; (ii) changes to the environment impacting ACE costs
or utilization; and (iii) opportunities to modify or improve the Services to reduce the charges, pass-through expenses or retained expenses incurred by ACE. Such information shall be provided at ACE’s request and in accordance with the
schedule mutually agreed by the Parties. 

  

	9.7	Change Control 

  

	 	(a)	Prior to making any System Change or using any item of Software or Equipment to provide the Services, IBM shall have verified by appropriate testing that the change or item has been
properly installed, is operating in accordance with its specifications, is performing its intended functions in a reliable manner. 

  

	 	(b)	If IBM desires to make a System Change, IBM shall provide reasonable notice to ACE and coordinate such change with ACE. To the extent initiated by IBM solely for its own benefit,
IBM shall bear all charges, fees and costs associated with such System Change, including all charges, fees and costs associated with (i) the design, installation, implementation, testing and rollout of such System Change, (ii) any
modification or enhancement to, or substitution for, any impacted Software or Equipment, (iii) any increase in the cost of operating, maintaining or supporting any impacted system, Software or Equipment, and (iv) any increase in resource
usage. 

  

	 	(c)	IBM shall make no System Change which (i) may increase ACE’s total cost of receiving the Services; (ii) may require material changes to ACE Facilities, systems,
software or equipment; or (iii) may materially and adversely impact the functionality, interoperability, performance or resource efficiency of the Services, without first obtaining ACE’s approval, which approval ACE may withhold in its
sole discretion. If IBM desires to make such a System Change, it shall provide to ACE a written proposal describing in detail the extent to which the desired System Change may affect the functionality, performance or resource efficiency of the
Services and the benefits, savings and risks to ACE associated with such System Change. 

  

	 	(d)	IBM shall make no System Change that may require ACE to install a new version, release or upgrade of, or replacement for, any Software or Equipment or to modify any Software or
Equipment without first obtaining ACE’s approval, which approval ACE may withhold in its sole discretion. 

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, IBM may make temporary System Changes required by an emergency if it has been unable to contact the ACE Project Executive to obtain approval after
making reasonable efforts. IBM shall document and report such emergency changes to ACE not later than the next business day after the change is made. 

  

	 	(f)	IBM will schedule and implement all System Changes so as not to (i) materially and unnecessarily disrupt or adversely impact the business or operations of ACE or the Eligible
Recipients, (ii) materially degrade the Services then being received by them, or (iii) interfere with their ability to obtain the full benefit of the Services. 

  

	 	(g)	On a monthly basis, IBM will prepare a rolling quarterly “look ahead” schedule for ongoing and planned System Changes for the next three (3) months. On a weekly
basis, IBM will provide a rolling one (1) month “look ahead” schedule for all System Changes. The status of System Changes will be monitored and tracked against the applicable schedule. 

  

	 	(h)	For any System Change, IBM shall, upon ACE’s request, perform a comparison at a reasonable and mutually agreed level of detail, between the amount of resources required by the
affected Software or Equipment to perform a representative sample of the processing being performed for ACE immediately prior to the System Change and immediately after the System Change. ACE shall not be required to pay for increased resource usage
due to a System Change for a Steady State Operation except to the extent that such System Change is requested by ACE with notice of the increased usage or changes in ACE usage based on additional or changed functionality. 

 

	9.8	Software Currency 

  

	 	(a)	Currency of Software. Subject to and in accordance with Sections 6.2, 9.6, 9.7 and 9.8(b), IBM agrees to maintain reasonable currency for Software for
which IBM is financially, operationally and administratively responsible and to provide help desk and other support for new releases and versions of such Software. For purposes of this Section, “reasonable currency” shall
mean that, unless otherwise directed by ACE, IBM shall maintain Software within one Major Release of the then current Major Release and shall do so within twelve (12) months of such then current Major Release becoming publicly available.
“Reasonable currency” also shall mean that, unless otherwise directed by ACE, IBM shall promptly install Minor Releases as they become publicly available. Prior to installing a new Major Release or Minor Release, IBM shall
evaluate and test such Release to verify that it will perform in accordance with the specifications and the architectures and standards established by ACE and that it will not without ACE’s prior approval (i) increase ACE’s total cost
of receiving the Services; (ii) require material changes to ACE Facilities, systems, software or equipment; or (iii) materially and adversely impact the functionality, interoperability, performance or resource efficiency of the Services.
Notwithstanding Sections 9.7 (c), IBM shall confer with ACE prior to installing any Major Release or Minor Release, shall provide ACE with the results of its testing and evaluation of such Release and shall not install such
Release if directed not to do so by ACE, notwithstanding, in the event that ACE directs IBM not to install such Release, IBM will continue to support the currently installed version of the Software provided that the manufacturer of the such
installed version continues to provide a standard maintenance offering for such installed version. If ACE requires IBM to use a Major Release or Minor Release for which maintenance offerings are not available and for which source code is not
available, IBM shall be relieved of Service Levels to the extent that failure to achieve such Service Levels is caused by such Major Release or Minor Release. 

  

	 	(b)	 Applications Software. ACE and the Eligible Recipients shall maintain Software currency for Applications Software or other Software for which ACE is
financially responsible under this Agreement. Subject to 9.8(a), IBM shall not install new Software releases or make other Software 

	 	 
changes if doing so would require ACE or the Eligible Recipients to install new releases of, replace, or make other changes to Applications Software or other
Software for which ACE is financially responsible unless ACE consents in writing to such change. 

  

	9.9	Year 2000 Compliance 

  

	 	(a)	General. “Year 2000 Compliant” or “Year 2000 Compliance” means that a product, when used in accordance with its associated
documentation, is capable of correctly processing, providing and/or receiving date data within and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, provided that all products (for example, hardware, software and firmware) used with such product
properly exchanges accurate date data with it. 

  

	 	(b)	Year 2000 Coordination. IBM shall reasonably cooperate with ACE in the execution of the “ACE Group Year 2000 Compliance Guidelines” dated April 17, 1998, to
the extent such cooperation is reasonably related to IBM’s performance of the Services and to the extent consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	Emergency Access to Year 2000 Services, Personnel and Resources. Upon ACE’s request and subject to availability of resources, IBM shall provide ACE with access to those
IBM services, personnel and resources required to respond on an emergency basis to Year 2000 Compliance problems. The Parties acknowledge that the provision of such services, personnel and resources, in addition to the assigned personnel and
resources, constitutes a New Service for which IBM may be entitled to additional compensation. 

  

	 	(d)	IBM Procurement Responsibilities. IBM shall obtain assurances of Year 2000 Compliance from each third party vendor from whom IBM procures new third party Equipment or
Software to be operated, maintained, supported or used by IBM to provide the Services under this Agreement. Except at the direction of ACE or an Eligible Recipient, or any authorized agent of either, IBM shall not procure any Equipment or Software
not having such assurances of Year 2000 Compliance without ACE’s prior approval. 

  

	 	(e)	IBM Software, Equipment and Infrastructure. IBM shall ensure that any new Equipment or Software in production and manufactured by IBM and used to provide the Services
(including the Developed Materials) is Year 2000 Compliant. IBM shall have no obligation under this Agreement to correct Year 2000 problems in Equipment or Software not manufactured by IBM, including any of the same included in ACE Software.

  

	 	(f)	Disclaimer of Warranty for year 2000 Services. 

  

	 	(i)	IBM is not providing any year 2000 services (for example, year 2000 assessment, conversion or testing) under the Agreement. 

  

	 	(ii)	Under the Agreement, IBM is not responsible for: 

  

	 	(1)	ACE’s or its Affiliates’ or Eligible Recipients’ products, 

  

	 	(2)	a Third Party’s products, or 

  

	 	(3)	IBM Products not provided and selected by IBM under the Agreement, ((1), (2), and (3), collectively, “Other Products”) to correctly process or properly
exchange accurate date data. 

	 	(iii)	IBM will be relieved of its obligations under the Agreement (including meeting Service Levels) due to the inability of such Other Products to correctly process or properly exchange
accurate date data. 

  

	 	(iv)	ACE acknowledges that it is responsible for assessing its current systems and taking appropriate action to migrate to year 2000-ready systems. 

  

	9.10	Access to Specialized IBM Skills and Resources 

  
 Upon ACE’s request and subject to availability of resources, IBM shall promptly provide ACE with equal access to IBM’s specialized technical
services, personnel and resources (the “Specialized Services”). The Parties intend that ACE shall receive such Specialized Services in a reasonable period of time after an appropriate work authorization has been signed by
both Parties. The Parties acknowledge that the provision of such Specialized Services may, in some cases, constitute New Services for which IBM is entitled to additional compensation, but in no event will IBM perform, or be entitled to any
additional compensation for, such Specialized Services, unless a New Services work authorization has been signed by both Parties. 
  

	9.11	Audit Rights 

  

	 	(a)	IBM Records. IBM shall maintain and provide access upon request to the portion of records, documents and other information required to meet ACE’s audit rights under this
Agreement (“IBM Records”). IBM shall retain IBM Records in accordance with IBM’s records retention policy as it may be reasonably adjusted from time to time and provided to ACE in writing upon request; provided,
however, that IBM shall at all times comply fully with all Laws applicable to ACE regarding records retention, to the extent that ACE provides IBM with prior written notice of the same. 

  

	 	(b)	Operational Audits. Upon reasonable notice from ACE, and subject to IBM or IBM’s agents’ reasonable security requirements and upon execution of IBM’s standard
Confidentiality Agreements, IBM shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors and suppliers to, provide to ACE (and internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators and other representatives that ACE may designate from time to time) access at
reasonable hours to IBM Personnel, to the facilities at or from which Services are then being provided and to IBM records and other pertinent information, all to the extent relevant to the Services and IBM’s obligation under this Agreement.
Such access shall be provided for the purpose of performing audits and inspections of ACE and its businesses and to examine IBM’s performance of the Services, including (i) verifying the integrity of ACE Data, (ii) examining the
systems that process, store, support and transmit that data, (iii) examining the controls (e.g., organizational controls, input/output controls, system modification controls, processing controls, system design controls, and access controls) and
the security, disaster recovery and back-up practices and procedures; (iv) examining IBM’s measurement, monitoring and management tools; and (v) enabling ACE and the Eligible Recipients to meet applicable legal, regulatory and
contractual requirements. IBM shall provide any assistance reasonably requested by ACE or its designee in conducting any such audit, including installing and operating audit software. 

  

	 	(c)	 Financial Audits. Upon reasonable notice from ACE, and subject to IBM or IBM agents’ security requirements and execution of IBM’s standard
Confidentiality Agreements, IBM shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors and suppliers to, provide to ACE (and internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators and other representatives that ACE may designate from time to time) access at
reasonable hours to IBM Personnel and to IBM Records and other pertinent information, all to the extent relevant to the performance of IBM’s financial obligations under this Agreement. Such access shall be provided 

	 	 
for the sole purpose of performing audits and inspections relating to the Services to verify the accuracy of IBM’s Charges to see that IBM is exercising
reasonable procedures to control the resources provided by IBM to ACE, and that the Services are being provided in accordance with the Service Levels. IBM shall provide any assistance reasonably requested by ACE or its designee in conducting any
such audit and shall make requested personnel, records and information available during the Term and thereafter, during the period specified in IBM’s records retention policy, as it may be reasonably adjusted from time to time. If any such
audit reveals an overcharge or undercharge by IBM, and IBM or ACE, as applicable, does not successfully dispute the amount questioned by such audit, IBM or ACE, as applicable, shall promptly pay to the other Party the amount of such overcharge or
undercharge as the case may be, together with interest at the rate specified in Section 12.2. 

  

	 	(d)	General Procedures. 

  

	 	(i)	ACE shall not be given access to the proprietary information of other IBM customers or to IBM locations that are not related to ACE or the Services or to information that is not
reasonably necessary to perform the audit. 

  

	 	(ii)	In performing audits, ACE shall endeavor to avoid unnecessary disruption of IBM’s operations and unnecessary interference with IBM’s ability to perform the Services in
accordance with the Performance Standards. In the event that ACE disrupts IBM’s operations or interferes with IBM’s ability to perform the Services, IBM shall be relieved of Service Levels. 

  

	 	(iii)	Following any audit, ACE shall conduct (in the case of an internal audit), or request its external auditors or examiners to conduct, an exit conference with IBM to obtain factual
concurrence with issues identified in the review. 

  

	 	(iv)	Access by ACE shall not be requested more than once each calendar year unless required by Law or regulatory agencies and IBM shall be given 72 hour written notice prior to such
access. 

  

	 	(v)	ACE shall use reasonable efforts to conduct the audit efficiently and expeditiously and at reasonable business hours. 

  

	 	(e)	IBM Response. IBM and ACE shall meet to review each audit report promptly after the issuance thereof. IBM will respond to each audit report in writing within thirty
(30) days from receipt of such report, unless a shorter response time is specified in such report. IBM and ACE shall develop and agree upon an action plan to promptly address and resolve any deficiencies, concerns and/or recommendations in such
audit report and IBM, at its own expense, shall undertake remedial action in accordance with such action plan and the dates specified therein. 

  
 With respect to ACE specific SAS 70 Type II Reports, IBM shall meet to review the report promptly after the issuance thereof and shall develop an agreed
upon action plan to promptly address any deficiencies or concerns. To the extent that any deficiencies, concerns or recommendations are a result of IBM’s noncompliance with ACE’s policies and procedures, IBM, at its own expense, shall
undertake remedial action in accordance with such action plan and the dates specified therein. 
  

	 	(f)	 Response to Government Audits. If an audit by a governmental body or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over ACE, an Eligible Recipient or IBM results
in a finding that IBM or ACE is not in compliance with any generally accepted accounting principle or, with respect to the following that are 

	 	 
either ordinary course of business for property casualty insurance companies or of which ACE provides to IBM prior written notice, other audit requirement or
any rule, regulation or law relating to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, IBM or ACE, as the case may be, shall, at its own expense and within the time period specified by such auditor, address and resolve the deficiency(ies)
identified by such governmental body or regulatory authority. The Parties believe such other audit requirements, rules, regulations and laws that are not ordinary course of business for property casualty insurance companies are prohibitions, and the
Parties do not intend that IBM will be required to make substantial expenditures to comply with the same. 

  

	 	(g)	SAS 70 Audits 

  
 i. Regular Audits. In addition to its other obligations under this Section 9.11, IBM shall cause a Statement of Auditing
Standards 70 Type II (“SAS 70 Type II”) audit to be conducted at the IBM Data Center from which Services are provided, such audits to performed on an calendar quarter basis in accordance with IBM’s ordinary course
practices for IBM Data Centers from which services similar to the Services are performed for other publicly traded companies. IBM shall deliver the results of its SAS 70 Type II audit results on a quarterly basis within a reasonable period of time
after the completion of the audit, each accompanied by a SAS Type II audit opinion from an independent third party auditor. 
  
 ii. Additional Audits. To the extent ACE provides reasonable notice and requests that, in addition to the SAS 70 Type II audits described in
Section 9.11(g)(i), IBM conduct an ACE-specific SAS 70 Type II audit, IBM shall do so at ACE’s sole cost and expense. IBM will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such expense. IBM shall permit ACE to participate
in the planning of each ACE specific SAS 70 Type II audit requested by ACE pursuant to Section 9.11(g)(ii), confer with ACE as to the scope and timing of each such audit and accommodate ACE’s reasonable requirements and
concerns to the extent practicable; provided, however, such requirements do not require ACE access to IBM proprietary data or other IBM Customer information. 
  

iii. Audit Requirements. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, each such SAS 70 Type II audit shall be designed and conducted by an
independent public accounting firm approved by IBM to facilitate periodic compliance reporting by ACE and the Eligible Recipients under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (and implementing regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) and comparable Laws in other jurisdictions. To the extent the resulting audit report is relevant to ACE and/or the Eligible Recipients, IBM shall provide a copy of such report to ACE
and its independent auditors for review and comment within a reasonable period of time. 
  
 iv. If requested by ACE, IBM shall respond to ACE specific SAS 70 Type II audit reports in accordance with Section 9.11(e). 
  

	9.12	Audit Costs. 

  
 With the exception of Application Services Charges, IBM and its Subcontractors and suppliers shall provide the Services described in this
Section 9.11 at no additional charge to ACE, to the extent that the audit occurs in the ordinary course of business (e.g., periodic, regular regulatory audits). 
  

	9.13	Agency and Disbursements 

  

	 	(a)	 Disbursements. Beginning on the Commencement Date, IBM shall make payments to those certain agreed upon lessors, licensors and vendors specified in
Schedule F as paying agent of ACE or the 

	 	 
Eligible Recipients, or shall reimburse ACE for payments made by ACE or the Eligible Recipients to such lessors, licensors and vendors.

  

	 	(b)	Limited Agency. ACE hereby appoints IBM as its limited agent during the Term solely for the purposes of the administration of and payment of Pass-Through Expenses and amounts
for which IBM is responsible under Third Party Contracts, Equipment Leases and Third Party Software licenses. ACE shall provide, on a timely basis, such affirmation of IBM’s authority to such lessors, licensors, vendors, and other third parties
as IBM may reasonably request. 

  

	 	(c)	Reimbursement for Substitute Payment. If either Party in error pays to a third party an amount for which the other Party is responsible under this Agreement, the Party that
is responsible for such payment shall reimburse the paying Party for such amount. 

  

	 	(d)	Notice of Decommissioning. IBM agrees to notify ACE as soon as reasonably possible when IBM determines that it will no longer use to provide the Services any ACE Owned
Equipment or ACE leased Equipment. Notification will be in writing and include the identification of the Equipment, and the date it will no longer be needed by IBM. Upon receipt of any such notice, ACE may (or may cause the applicable Eligible
Recipient to), in its sole discretion, terminate the Equipment Lease for such leased Equipment as of the date specified in such notice and sell or otherwise dispose of or redeploy such ACE Owned Equipment that is the subject of such a notice as of
the date specified in such notice. Upon IBM ceasing to use any Equipment (or, in the case of leased Equipment, upon the last day ACE is obligated to make such leased Equipment available to IBM, if earlier), IBM shall return the same to ACE in
condition at least as good as the condition thereof on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted. 

  

	9.14	Subcontractors 

  

	 	(a)	Use of Subcontractors. IBM shall not subcontract any of its material responsibilities without ACE’s prior written approval. Notwithstanding the forgoing, IBM’s use
in the ordinary course of business of third party services or products that are not dedicated to ACE, that are not material to any particular function constituting a part of the Services, that do not result in a material change in the way IBM
conducts its business or that do not make any work product specifically for ACE, shall not constitute a delegation or subcontracting of IBM’s responsibilities covered by this Section 9.13. A list of pre-approved
subcontractors is set forth in Schedule D. Prior to entering into a subcontract with a third party for the Services, IBM shall (i) give ACE reasonable prior written notice specifying the components of the Services affected, the
scope of the proposed subcontract, the identity and qualifications of the proposed Subcontractor. 

  

	 	(b)	IBM Responsibility for Subcontractors. IBM shall remain responsible for obligations performed by Subcontractors and the conduct of Subcontractor personnel to the same extent
as if such obligations were performed by IBM’s employees. IBM shall be ACE’s sole point of contact regarding the Services, including with respect to payment. 

  

	9.15	Compliance With Laws. 

  
 IBM shall promptly, and in any event within a commercially reasonable period of time after receiving written notice of any applicable deadline under any
Law: 
  

	 	(a)	redirect to ACE or the relevant Eligible Recipient any inquiries or communication from end users relating to compliance with such Law (including requests under any Privacy Law
related to personal information in IBM’s possession or control pursuant to this Agreement); 

	 	(b)	provide such information in IBM’s possession or control as may be required for the purpose of responding to any such end users or otherwise necessary for ACE to comply with
duties under such Law; 

  

	 	(c)	notify ACE of any security incident or breach of security related to the Services of which IBM becomes aware and for which notification to third parties must be made by ACE or IBM
under applicable Law (e.g., California Civil Code §1798.82 et. seq.) and assist ACE in providing notice and taking other actions pursuant to such Law; and 

  

	 	(d)	implement, upon ACE’s request and approval at ACE’s sole cost and expense, any modifications in the Services or IBM’s performance under this Agreement that ACE deems
necessary for ACE to comply with a change in Laws. Such modifications shall be considered New Services if and to the extent the change is to a Law for which IBM is not responsible pursuant to Section 15.11 and the modification
meets the definition of New Services set forth in Section 2.1. 

  

	9.16	Privacy Laws. 

  
 IBM shall comply with the provisions of and the obligations imposed on IBM as a “processor” under applicable Privacy Laws. In addition, IBM
shall provide ACE with such assistance as ACE may reasonably require to fulfill the responsibilities of ACE and the Eligible Recipients under such Privacy Laws. IBM shall do so at ACE’s sole cost and expense. IBM will use commercially
reasonable efforts to minimize such cost and expense. Subject to the contract change management process, IBM also shall at ACE’s direction, modify the Services to comply with the data privacy policies of ACE that are provided to IBM in writing,
including those portions relating to the global data privacy policies of any self-regulatory organizations to which ACE or the Eligible Recipients belong. 
  

	10.	ACE RESPONSIBILITIES 

  

	10.1	Responsibilities 

  
 In addition to ACE’s responsibilities as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, ACE shall be responsible for the following: 
  

	 	(a)	ACE shall designate, prior to commencement of the Services by IBM, one individual to whom all IBM communications concerning this Agreement may be addressed (the “ACE
Project Executive”), who shall have the authority to act on behalf of ACE in all day-to-day matters pertaining to this Agreement. ACE may change the designated ACE Project Executive from time to time by providing notice to IBM.
Additionally, ACE will have the option, but will not be obligated, to designate additional representatives who will be authorized to make certain decisions (e.g., regarding emergency maintenance) if the ACE Project Executive is not available.

	 	(b)	ACE shall cooperate with IBM by, among other things, making available, as reasonably requested by IBM, management decisions, information, approvals and acceptances so that IBM may
accomplish its obligations and responsibilities hereunder. 

  

	10.2	Savings Clause 

  
 IBM’s failure to perform its responsibilities under this Agreement or to meet the Service Levels shall be excused if and to the extent such IBM
non-performance results from ACE’s, ACE’s agents’, ACE’s Affiliates’, Eligible Recipients’ or CIGNA’s wrongful actions or failure to perform any of their respective responsibilities. IBM shall provide ACE with
reasonable notice in writing of any such non-performance and IBM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform notwithstanding such wrongful actions or any such failures to perform. ACE also agrees to reimburse IBM for any reasonable
additional costs, charges and expenses incurred as a result of such delay and ACE shall pay IBM the full amounts of all undisputed Charges set forth herein.

Article 11 or Schedule J or elsewhere in this Agreement. Any costs incurred by IBM prior to the Commencement Date are included in the Charges set forth in Schedule J and are not to be
separately paid or reimbursed by ACE. 

  

	 	(d)	IBM shall reperform, at no additional expense to ACE, any Services that result in incorrect outputs to the extent caused by an error or breach by IBM, and the resources required for
such performance shall not be counted in calculating the Charges payable or resources utilized by ACE hereunder. 

  

	11.2	Retained and Pass-Through Expenses 

  

	 	(a)	ACE shall retain and pay all Retained Expenses directly to the applicable vendors. 

  

	 	(b)	As part of the Services, IBM shall pay all Pass-Through Expenses directly to the applicable suppliers and shall invoice ACE for amounts paid to such suppliers. Before paying an
invoice for any Pass-Through Expense, IBM shall review and validate the invoiced charges, identify and correct any errors or omissions and resolve any questions or changes with the applicable supplier. IBM shall deliver to ACE the original supplier
invoice, together with any documentation supporting such invoice and a statement that IBM has reviewed and validated the invoiced charges, prior to or in connection with the IBM invoice containing such Pass-Through Expense. To the extent IBM fails
to comply with its obligations hereunder, it shall be financially responsible for any discounts lost or any late fees, interest charges or other costs or expenses incurred by ACE. 

  

	 	(c)	 All Retained Expenses and Pass-Through Expenses as of the Effective Date are set forth on Schedule J. No new Retained Expenses may be added
without ACE’s prior written consent, which it may withhold in its sole discretion. ACE may agree to add Retained Expenses and Pass-Through 

	 	 
Expenses to Schedule J and may re-designate a Retained Expense as a Pass-Through Expense with IBM’s consent, which consent shall not
be withheld unreasonably. 

  

	 	(d)	IBM will continually seek to identify methods of reducing and minimizing ACE’s Retained and Pass-Through Expenses and will notify ACE of such methods and the estimated
potential savings associated with each such method. 

  

	11.3	Incidental Expenses 

  
 IBM acknowledges that, except as expressly provided otherwise in the Agreement, expenses that IBM incurs in performing the Services are included in
IBM’s Charges and rates set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, such IBM expenses are not separately reimbursable by ACE unless ACE has agreed in advance and in writing to reimburse IBM for the expense 
  

	11.4	Taxes 

  
 The Parties’ respective responsibilities for taxes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	Each Party shall be responsible for any franchise or privilege taxes on its business and for any taxes based on its net income or gross receipts. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Party shall be responsible for any sales, lease, use, personal property or other such taxes on Equipment, Software or property it owns or leases from a third party and/or for
which it is financially responsible under Schedule F of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	IBM shall be responsible for all sales, service, value-added, lease, use, personal property, excise, consumption, and other taxes and duties payable by IBM on any goods or services
acquired and used or consumed by IBM in providing the Services where the tax is imposed on IBM’s acquisition or use of such goods or services. 

  

	 	(d)	ACE shall be responsible for all sales, use, excise, value added, consumption, service or other taxes assessed on the receipt of the Services as a whole, or on any particular
Service received by ACE or the Eligible Recipients from IBM; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed, IBM shall be financially responsible for new or higher taxes if such new or higher taxes are a result of IBM’s performing all or a
part of the Services from, or moving all or part of its operations to, a jurisdiction outside the United States . 

  

	 	(e)	The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other to enable each to more accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally
permissible. IBM’s invoices shall separately state the Charges that are subject to taxation and the amount of taxes included therein. Each Party will provide and make available to the other any resale certificates, information regarding
out-of-state or out-of-country sales or use of equipment, materials, or services, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by either Party. 

  

	 	(f)	 Each Party will promptly notify the other of, and reasonably coordinate with the other, the response to and settlement of, any claim for taxes asserted by
applicable taxing authorities for which the other Party is responsible hereunder. With respect to any claim arising out of a form or return signed by a Party to this Agreement, such Party will have the right to elect to control the response to and
settlement 

	 	 
of the claim, but the other Party will have all rights to participate in the responses and settlements that are appropriate to its potential responsibilities
or liabilities. If either Party requests the other to challenge the imposition of any tax, the requesting Party will reimburse the other for the reasonable legal fees and expenses it incurs. A Party will be entitled to a proportional share of any
tax refunds or rebates granted to the extent such refunds or rebates are of taxes that were paid by it. 

  

	 	(g)	Each Party represents, warrants and covenants that it will file appropriate tax returns, and pay applicable taxes owed arising from or related to the Services in applicable
jurisdictions. 

  

	11.5	New Services 

  

	 	(a)	If ACE requests that IBM perform any New Services, IBM shall promptly prepare a New Services proposal for ACE’s consideration. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, IBM shall
prepare such New Services proposal at no additional charge to ACE. ACE and IBM will collaborate to document ACE’s business requirements if needed within four (4) Business Days of receipt of the Service Request. IBM will deliver a New
Services proposal to ACE within ten (10) Business Days of the documentation of ACE’s business requirements. If ACE’s business requirements cannot be documented within (4) Business Days of receipt of the Service Request, IBM will
notify the ACE Project Executive and the Parties will agree on a date for delivery of the New Services proposal. 

  
 If there is a change to ACE’s business requirements that causes a significant impact to IBM’s solution, the Parties will agree on a date for
delivery of a revised New Services proposal. 
  
 Such New
Services proposal shall include, among other things, (i) a project plan and fixed price or cost estimate for the New Service; (ii) a breakdown of the cost buildup for such pricing or estimate, (iii) a description of the service levels
to be associated with such New Service; (iv) a schedule for commencing and completing the New Service (schedule will be expressed in days from authorization to proceed from ACE); (v) a description of any new hardware or software to be
provided by IBM in connection with the New Service; (vi) a description of any software and hardware resources and runtime requirements necessary to provide the New Service; and (vii) the human resources necessary to provide the New
Service. ACE may accept or reject any New Services proposal in its sole discretion. If ACE accepts IBM’s proposal and IBM agrees to provide the New Services, IBM will perform the New Services in accordance with the provisions set forth herein
and therein, and will be paid in accordance with the proposal submitted by IBM and the provisions of this Agreement. At such time, the scope of the Services will be expanded to include such New Services unless the Parties agree in writing to the
contrary. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the pricing proposed by IBM shall take into account the existing and future volume of business between ACE and IBM. 
  

	 	(b)	ACE may elect to solicit and receive bids from third parties to perform any New Services. If ACE elects to use third parties to perform New Services, (i) such New Services
shall not be deemed Services under the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) IBM shall reasonably cooperate with such third parties as provided in Section 9.2 to the extent such cooperation does not impact IBM’s ability
to provide the Services. ACE shall reimburse IBM for reasonable costs of complying with this Section 11.5(b). 

  

	 	(c)	The Parties anticipate that the Services will evolve and be supplemented, modified, enhanced or replaced over time to keep pace with technological advancements and improvements in
the methods of delivering services, and the Parties acknowledge that these evolutionary changes may modify the “Services” and will not necessarily be deemed to result in New Services. 

	 	(d)	IBM will promptly inform the ACE Project Executive of requests for New Services from End Users or Eligible Recipients, and shall submit any proposals for New Services to the ACE
Project Executive or his or her designee. IBM shall not agree to provide New Services to any End Users or Eligible Recipients without the prior written approval of the ACE Project Executive or his or her designee. 

  

	 	(e)	If ACE requests that IBM provide Services to Entities other than Eligible Recipients, the requested Services shall be treated as New Services. Unless otherwise agreed by the
Parties, such Services shall be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions governing the provision of the same Services to existing Eligible Recipients; provided, however, that to the extent Services are to be provided outside the United
States, the Parties may modify or add necessary terms and conditions. 

  

	11.6	Extraordinary Events 

  

	 	(a)	As used in this Agreement, an “Extraordinary Event” shall mean a circumstance in which an event or discrete set of events has occurred or is planned with
respect to the business of ACE that results or will result in a change in the scope, nature or volume of the Services that ACE will require from IBM, and which is expected to or has caused the three (3) month average of a Resource Unit to
increase or decrease by twenty percent (20%) from the Resource Baseline. Examples of the kinds of events that might cause such substantial increases or decreases include: 

  

	 	(1)	changes in locations where ACE operates; 

  

	 	(2)	changes in products of, or in markets served by, ACE; 

  

	 	(3)	mergers, acquisitions or divestitures of ACE; 

  

	 	(4)	changes in the method of service delivery, excluding delivery of the Services by ACE or its Eligible Recipients or by any provider other than IBM; 

  

	 	(5)	changes in market priorities; or 

  

	 	(6)	changes in the number of business units being serviced by IBM that were not anticipated as of the Effective Date. 

  

	 	(b)	If an Extraordinary Event occurs, ACE may, at its option, request a reduction in the Charges or Variable Charges specified in Schedule J in accordance with the
following: 

  

	 	(1)	As appropriate, IBM and ACE shall mutually determine on a reasonable basis the resulting efficiencies and economies and/or the resources no longer required by IBM to provide the
Services (“Targeted Resource Reductions”). IBM shall identify in writing to ACE any costs (including appropriate indirect and overhead costs) and any profit that can be eliminated or reduced in connection with the Targeted
Resource Reductions (the “Targeted Cost Reductions”). 

  

	 	(2)	Promptly upon determination of any Targeted Resource Reductions, IBM shall proceed to eliminate the Targeted Resource Reductions as quickly as feasible and in accordance with the
agreed upon schedule. 

  

	 	(3)	When the Targeted Resource Reductions are eliminated, the Charges specified on Schedule J shall be reduced by any amount of the corresponding Targeted Cost
Reductions and any affected Resource Baselines shall be equitably adjusted, as appropriate. 

	 	(4)	If an Extraordinary Event occurs, and ACE chooses to have IBM provide additional Services related to such Extraordinary Event (“Increased Services”), then
IBM shall provide such Increased Services as soon as possible in light of the amount of advance notice of such increase. The Parties will review the volume of the Increased Services and agree to equitably adjust the Base Charges, ARCs and RRCs and
the Resource Baselines and the related terms under this Agreement. Further, to the extent that IBM can reasonably demonstrate to ACE that the Increased Services adversely affect IBM’s ability to meet the Service Levels, then after IBM provides
ACE written notice of such impact, IBM shall be relieved of any Service Level applicable to IBM’s inability to meet such Service Levels for an amount of time in which IBM can reasonably place additional equipment in service to meet the Service
Levels, but in no event shall the period for such relief exceed three (3) months, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. 

  
 If an Extraordinary Event would cause a Resource Baseline to exceed 35% of the then current Baseline, IBM reserves the right to include additional fixed
cost in the form of one-time charges or other variable charges to the Charges and/or the applicable ARC. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an appropriate adjustment after reasonable efforts, ACE is not obligated to procure such services from
IBM and IBM is not obligated to provide such additional services to ACE. 
  
 In no event may an Extraordinary Event which does not cause a Resource Baseline to exceed 35% of the then current Resource Baseline result in the Charges to ACE being higher than such Charges would have been if the
ARCs and RRCs specified in Schedule J had been applied. ACE may, at its sole option, elect at any time to forego its rights under this Section 11.6 and instead, apply such ARCs and RRCs to adjust the Charges.

  

	11.7	Technology 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to Section 9.8, IBM shall maintain the currency level of Software that will enable ACE to take advantage of technological advancements in its industry and
support ACE’s efforts to maintain competitiveness in the markets in which it competes. In the event of a significant and unanticipated change in technology that materially reduces IBM’s costs beyond those reasonably anticipated by IBM in
providing the Services, the Parties shall equitably adjust the Charges. To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Parties shall equitably modify and adjust the Resource Units to be measured and the Resource Baselines associated with such Resource
Units to be consistent with such technological advancements. 

  

	 	(b)	If IBM develops new or enhanced services, software, tools, products or methodologies to be offered to such customers (collectively, “New Technology”),
IBM shall (i) offer ACE the opportunity to serve as a pilot customer in connection with the implementation of such New Technology; and (ii) offer to implement such New Technology on an orderly and planned schedule taking into consideration
the investments in the current environment. 

  

	 	(c)	IBM shall meet with ACE semi-annually to brief ACE regarding technological developments and advances as well as new or enhanced services, software, tools, products or methodologies
of possible interest or applicability to ACE. Such briefing shall include IBM’s reasonable assessment of the business impact, performance improvements and cost savings associated with each. 

	11.8	Projects 

  

	 	(a)	As part of New Services, IBM shall perform projects authorized by the ACE Project Executive or his or her designee. The IBM Personnel assigned to perform such projects shall possess
the training, experience, competence and skill to perform such work. The ACE Project Executive or his or her designee shall define and set the priority for such projects. ACE shall pay IBM for such authorized hours at the rates specified in
Schedule J. 

  

	 	(b)	To the extent a requested project is expected to take more than eighty (80) hours and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, IBM shall prepare a project proposal in accordance
with Section 11.5(a) prior to beginning such project. ACE may accept or reject such project proposal in its sole discretion. 

  

	 	(c)	In addition to the hours provided for in Section 11.8(a), the ACE Project Executive or his or her designee may identify new or additional work activities to be
performed by IBM Personnel (including work activities that would otherwise be treated as New Services) or reprioritize or reset the schedule for existing work activities to be performed by such IBM Personnel. IBM shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to perform such work activities without impacting the established schedule for other tasks or the performance of the Services in accordance with the Service Levels. If it is not possible to avoid such an impact, IBM shall notify ACE of the
anticipated impact and obtain its consent prior to proceeding with such work activities. ACE, in its sole discretion, may temporarily adjust the work to be performed by IBM, the schedules associated therewith or the Service Levels to permit the
performance by IBM of such work activities. 

  

	11.9	Proration 

  
 Periodic charges under this Agreement are to be computed on a calendar month basis, and shall be prorated for any partial month on a calendar day basis.

  

	11.10 	Refundable Items 

  

	 	(a)	Prepaid Amounts. Where ACE has prepaid for a service or function for which IBM is assuming financial responsibility under this Agreement, IBM shall refund to ACE, upon either
Party identifying the prepayment, that portion of such prepaid expense which is attributable to periods on and after the Commencement Date. ACE shall reimburse IBM, when the Term ends, for that portion of any amounts prepaid by IBM (or its Approved
Subcontractors) that are attributable to periods on and after the Term ends to the extent that: (a) such prepayment is for a period of less than one (1) year; or (b) ACE approved such prepayment in advance. 

 

	 	(b)	Refunds and Credits. If either Party should receive a refund, credit, discount or other rebate for goods or services paid for by the other Party, then the Party receiving
such refund, credit, discount or other rebate shall (i) notify the other Party of such refund, credit, discount or rebate and (ii) pay the full amount of such refund, credit, discount or rebate to the other Party. 

 

	11.11 	ACE Benchmarking Reviews 

  

	 	(a)	 Not more than once every two years during the Term and commencing January 1, 2002, ACE may, subject to this Section 11.11, engage the services of a
mutually agreeable independent third party (a “Benchmarker”) to compare the Services by Tower against the standard of well-managed operations performing similar services under similar conditions, prices, terms and environments
(“Benchmarking”). Any Benchmarker shall agree in writing to be bound by the confidentiality and security provisions specified in this Agreement. The expense for the Benchmarking shall be equally shared by ACE and IBM. Prior to the
commencement of the Benchmarking, ACE and IBM shall 

	 	 
agree on the Benchmarking methodology, which shall include the comparisons that are to be used. These benchmark comparisons (“Benchmark
Comparisons”) shall be based on reasonably current data from a statistically significant sample from other outsourced organizations that share substantially similar attributes with respect to size, investments, scope and nature of overall
services, geographic scope of overall services, quality standards, technology, quality service levels and payment structure. ACE and IBM will each receive a copy of the Benchmarker’s report, and both Parties shall have a reasonable opportunity
to review the Benchmarker’s report and contest the Benchmarker’s findings. If the Service Charges are within 5% of the Benchmark Comparisons, no change will be made. If the Service Charges are determined to be greater than 5%, but not more
than 10% above the Benchmark Comparisons, an immediate adjustment will be made to reduce the charges to within 5% of the Benchmark Comparisons. If the IBM charges are greater than 10% above the Benchmark Comparisons, a 5% reduction will be made and
the Parties will discuss a further price adjustment. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the validity of such findings or the further adjustment on charges more than 10% over the Benchmark Comparisons, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to
the procedures set forth in Article 19. If the Parties are unable to agree after using the procedures set forth in Article 19, then ACE may terminate the disputed Service Tower for convenience with no charge except for actual Winddown
Expenses. 

  

	11.12 	Changes in Laws 

  

	 	(a)	At no additional charge, IBM shall comply with, and IBM shall notify ACE of any change in Law applicable to the delivery of the Services. ACE shall have the right to notify IBM of
changes not previously communicated by IBM and IBM shall comply with such changes. IBM shall implement any necessary modifications to the Services prior to the deadline imposed by the regulatory or other governmental body having jurisdiction for
such requirement or change. Except to the extent caused by ACE or the Eligible Recipients or agents, IBM shall be responsible for any fines or penalties imposed on IBM, ACE or the Eligible Recipients resulting from any failure by IBM or its agents,
Subcontractors or third party product or service providers to comply with applicable Laws or respond in a timely manner to changes in such Laws. 

  

	 	(b)	ACE shall comply with, and ACE shall notify IBM of any change in Law applicable to the receipt of the Services. IBM shall have the right to notify ACE of changes not previously
communicated by ACE and ACE shall comply with such changes. ACE shall implement any necessary modifications to the receipt of Services prior to the deadline imposed by the regulatory or other governmental body having jurisdiction for such
requirement or change. Except to the extent caused by IBM or its agents, ACE shall be responsible for any fines or penalties imposed on ACE, IBM or its agents resulting from any failure by ACE or its agents, subcontractors or third party product or
service providers to comply with applicable Laws or respond in a timely manner to changes in such Laws. 

  

	12.	INVOICING AND PAYMENT 

  

	12.1	Invoicing 

  

	 	(a)	 IBM will invoice ACE during the Term the proportional amount of the Charges for that month in advance. The invoice will state separately applicable taxes owed by
ACE, if any, by tax jurisdiction. If IBM invoices ACE by the first (1st) day of a month, ACE shall pay IBM for
all undisputed invoiced Charges (subject to Section 12.4) on or before the last day of that month; otherwise, ACE will pay all undisputed invoiced Charges (subject to Section 12.4) within thirty (30) days
after the date of ACE’s receipt of the invoice. All periodic charges under this Agreement are to be computed on a calendar-month basis and will be prorated for any partial month, unless specifically stated otherwise in this 

	 	 
Agreement. Each invoice shall be accompanied by details as to Charges as reasonably necessary (a) to meet ACE’s requirements under government
accounting rules and regulations (which rules and regulations will be identified by ACE and provided to IBM), and (b) to validate volumes and fees. The Parties will reasonably agree upon a means to satisfy ACE’s internal accounting and
chargeback requirements. IBM shall include the calculations, resource utilization information and variable charge rates used to calculate the amounts shown on the invoice. 

  

	 	(b)	Beginning one month following the establishment of the Resource Baselines or as otherwise set forth in Schedule J, IBM will invoice ACE monthly for the ARCs and RRCs
for the preceding month. 

  

	 	(c)	To the extent a credit may be due to ACE pursuant to this Agreement, IBM shall provide ACE with an appropriate credit against amounts then due and owing; if no further payments are
due to IBM, IBM shall pay such amounts to ACE on the following invoice, but no less than thirty (30) days later. 

  

	12.2	Payment Due 

  
 ACE shall pay each invoice by wire funds transfer or other electronic means acceptable to IBM to an account specified by IBM. Such payment shall be made
in U.S. currency In the event that any payments are not received by IBM within five days following the due date, ACE shall also pay a late fee equal to the lesser of: 
  

	 	(1)	one and one half percent of the amount of such payment per month; or 

  

	 	(2)	the maximum amount permissible by law. 

  

	12.3	Set Off 

  
 With respect to any amount to be paid or reimbursed by ACE hereunder, ACE may set off against such amount any amount that IBM is obligated to pay ACE
hereunder, or, at IBM’s option, ACE may pay IBM such amount within thirty (30) days thereafter. 
  

	12.4	Disputed Charges 

  

	 	(a)	ACE shall pay undisputed Charges when such payments are due under this Article 12 and Schedule J. However, ACE may withhold payment of variable
Charges that ACE reasonably disputes in good faith provided that in no event will such withholding exceed the monthly invoice or cumulatively exceed two (2) months of current base Charges. Any amounts due above this limitation shall be paid to
IBM under protest without waiver of any rights. If ACE in good faith disputes any Charges under this Agreement, ACE shall promptly notify IBM in writing of such disputed amount and the basis for ACE’s dispute together with any appropriate
information supporting ACE’s position. If ACE withholds any disputed charges, such amount shall be promptly deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account. To the extent it is ultimately determined that such disputed amount is payable to IBM,
ACE shall pay interest on such amount to the extent earned on such escrowed account. ACE and IBM shall address disputes in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 19. 

  

	 	(b)	Neither the failure to dispute any Charges or amounts prior to payment nor the failure to withhold any amount shall constitute, operate or be construed as a waiver of any right ACE
may otherwise have to dispute any Charge or amount or recover any amount previously paid, with interest. 

  

	 	(c)	Beginning one month following the establishment of the Resource Baselines or as otherwise set forth in Schedule J, IBM will invoice ACE monthly for the ARCs and RRCs
for the preceding month. 

	12.5	No Implied Charges 

  
 Each Party shall be solely responsible for all the costs and expenses of performing such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and no payment
shall be due from the other Party for the performance of such obligations unless such payment is expressly specified in this Agreement. 
  

	13.	ACE DATA AND OTHER PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 

  

	13.1	ACE Ownership of ACE Data 

  
 ACE Data is and shall remain the property of ACE. IBM shall, at IBM’s expense for the first delivery and at ACE’s expense for each delivery
thereafter, promptly deliver to ACE in the available format and on the media then used by IBM to provide the Services: (a) a copy of all ACE Owned Materials and ACE Data (or such portions as shall be specified by ACE) and (b) a copy of all
Developed Materials (or such portions as shall be specified by ACE) to the extent that ACE has paid all undisputed Charges (in accordance with Section 12.4) expressly associated with such Developed Materials. Such deliveries shall
occur: (i) at any time at ACE’s request, (ii) at the end of the Term and the completion of all requested Transfer Assistance Services, or (iii) with respect to particular ACE Data or ACE Owned Materials, at such earlier date that
ACE requests such data because it is no longer required by IBM to perform the Services. Thereafter, if requested by ACE, IBM shall destroy or securely erase all copies of the ACE Data and ACE Owned Materials in IBM’s possession or under
IBM’s control. IBM shall not withhold any ACE Data or any of the items specified in this Section as a means of resolving any dispute. IBM may retain one (1) copy of the ACE Data and ACE Owned Developed Materials to determine IBM’s or
its agents rights under this Agreement. IBM shall be relieved of its obligations to provide the Services to the extent that its performance is prevented or hindered by the return, erasure or destruction of ACE Data or ACE Owned Materials or reports
prepared pursuant to this Section 13.1. Except to the extent expressly permitted under this Agreement, ACE Data and ACE Owned Materials shall not be utilized by IBM for any purpose other than the performance of Services under this
Agreement and shall not be disclosed (except as provided in Section 13.3), sold, assigned, leased, or otherwise provided to third parties by IBM or commercially exploited by or on behalf of IBM or any IBM Personnel. IBM shall not
possess or assert any lien or other right against or to ACE Data. 
  

	13.2	Safeguarding ACE Data 

  

	 	(a)	IBM shall establish and maintain environmental, safety and facility procedures, data security procedures and other safeguards against the destruction, loss, or alteration of ACE
Data in the possession of IBM which are (i) no less rigorous than those that are commercially reasonable, documented and enforced by ACE as of the Commencement Date, which ACE will provide to IBM, and (ii) no less rigorous than those
maintained by IBM for its own information of a similar nature. ACE shall have the right to establish backup security for ACE Data and to keep backup copies of the ACE Data in ACE’s possession at ACE’s expense if ACE so chooses. No media on
which ACE Data is stored may be used simultaneously to store data of any other customer of IBM. 

  

	 	(b)	As part of the Services, IBM shall be responsible for developing and maintaining procedures for the reconstruction of lost ACE Data. IBM shall correct, at ACE’s request and
sole discretion and at no charge to ACE, any destruction, loss or alteration of any ACE Data to the extent caused by IBM or any IBM Personnel. 

	13.3	Confidentiality 

  

	 	(a)	Proprietary Information. IBM and ACE each acknowledge that the other possesses and will continue to possess information that has been developed or received by it, has
commercial value in its or its customer’s business and is not in the public domain. Except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the Parties, “Proprietary Information” of ACE or IBM, or their respective
Affiliates, and Eligible Recipients, shall mean all information and documentation of ACE and IBM and such Affiliates, Eligible Recipients, suppliers or agents, respectively, whether disclosed to or accessed by such entity or Party in connection with
this Agreement and that: (1) has been marked “confidential” or “proprietary” or with words of similar meaning at the time of disclosure by such entity or Party, or (2) if disclosed orally or not marked
“confidential” or “proprietary” or with words of similar meaning at the time of disclosure, was subsequently summarized in writing within sixty (60) days after disclosure by the disclosing entity or Party and marked
“confidential” or “proprietary” or with words of similar meaning, or (3) consists of information and documentation included within any of the following categories: (a) customer, supplier or contractor lists,
(b) customer, supplier or contractor information, (c) information regarding business plans (strategic and tactical), markets and operations (including performance), (d) information regarding administrative, financial or marketing
activities or results, (e) pricing information, (f) personnel information, (g) products and product and service offerings (including specifications and designs), (h) processes (e.g., logistical and engineering),
(i) budgets and financial results, (j) premium data and loss information, (k) identities of agents and brokers and the nature of ACE’s agreements with them, (l) ACE’s third party contracts to which IBM has had access,
and (m) any business information derived from such information, 

  

	 	(b)	Obligations 

  

	 	(1)	IBM and ACE shall not disclose, and shall maintain the confidentiality of, all Proprietary Information of the other Party. ACE and IBM shall each use the same degree of care to
safeguard and to prevent disclosing to third parties the Proprietary Information of the other as it employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure, publication, dissemination, destruction, loss, or alteration of its own information (or information of its
customers) of a similar nature, but not less than reasonable care. The Parties may disclose Proprietary Information to their Affiliates, auditors, attorneys, accountants, consultants and Subcontractors, where (i) use by such person or entity is
authorized under this Agreement, (ii) such disclosure is necessary for the performance of such person’s or entity’s obligations under or with respect to this Agreement or otherwise naturally occurs in such person’s or
entity’s scope of responsibility, (iii) the person or entity (and its applicable officers and employees) agree in writing to assume the obligations substantially similar to those described in this Section 13.3, and
(iv) the disclosing Party assumes full responsibility for the acts or omissions of such person or entity and takes reasonable measures to ensure that the Proprietary Information is not disclosed or used in contravention of this Agreement. Each
Party’s Proprietary Information shall remain the property of such Party. 

  

	 	(2)	 Neither Party shall (i) make any copies of, or use, the Proprietary Information of the other Party except as contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) acquire
any right in or assert any lien against the Proprietary Information of the other Party, (iii) sell, assign, transfer, lease, or otherwise dispose of Proprietary Information to third parties or commercially exploit such information, including
through derivative works, or (iv) refuse for any reason (including a default or material breach of this Agreement by the other Party) to promptly provide the other Party’s Proprietary Information (including copies thereof) to the other
Party if requested to do so (in the case of ACE Data, in the form reasonably requested if ACE is paying for their return). Upon expiration or any termination of this Agreement and completion of each Party’s obligations under this Agreement,
each Party shall return or destroy, as the other Party may direct, all documentation in any medium that contains, refers to, or relates to the 

	 	 
other Party’s Proprietary Information, and retain no copies. In addition, the Parties shall take reasonable steps to ensure that their employees comply
with these confidentiality provisions. 

  

	 	(c)	Exclusions. Section 13.3(b) shall not apply to any particular information which the receiving Party can demonstrate (i) is, at the time of disclosure
to it, in the public domain; (ii) after disclosure to it, is published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party; (iii) is in the possession of the receiving Party at the time of disclosure to
it; (iv) is received from a third party having a lawful right to disclose such information; or (v) is independently developed by the receiving Party without subsequent reference to Proprietary Information of the furnishing Party. In
addition, the receiving Party shall not be considered to have breached its obligations under this Section 13.3 for disclosing Proprietary Information of the other Party as required to satisfy any legal requirement of a competent
government body, provided that, promptly upon receiving any such request and to the extent that it may legally do so, such Party advises the other Party of the Proprietary Information to be disclosed and the identity of the third party requiring
such disclosure prior to making such disclosure in order that the other Party may interpose an objection to such disclosure, take action to assure confidential handling of the Proprietary Information, or take such other action as it deems
appropriate to protect the Proprietary Information. It is understood that the receipt of Proprietary Information under this Agreement will not limit or restrict assignment or reassignment of employees of ACE and IBM within or between the respective
Parties and their Affiliates. 

  

	 	(d)	Residual Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, either Party which receives Proprietary Information
(“Recipient”) may disclose, publish, disseminate, and use the ideas, concepts, know-how and techniques, related to Recipient’s business activities in such Party’s respective industry (i.e., the IBM Business for IBM
and the ACE Business for ACE), which are contained in the disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information, but solely to the extent retained in the memories of the receiving Party’s employees who have had access to the Proprietary Information
pursuant to this Agreement (the “Residual Information”). Nothing contained in this Section gives the Recipient the right to use, disclose, publish, or disseminate: 

  

	 	(1)	the source of Residual Information; 

  

	 	(2)	if the Recipient is IBM, any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques only related to the ACE Business, or, if the Recipient is ACE, any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques only
related to the IBM Business; or 

  

	 	(3)	the business plans of the disclosing Party. 

  

	 	(e)	Loss of Proprietary Information. Each Party shall: (i) promptly notify the other Party in writing of any possession, use, knowledge, disclosure, or loss of such other
Party’s Proprietary Information in contravention of this Agreement; (ii) promptly furnish to the other Party all known details and reasonably assist such other Party in investigating and/or preventing the reoccurrence of such possession,
use, knowledge, disclosure, or loss; (iii) reasonably cooperate with the other Party in any investigation or litigation deemed necessary by such other Party to protect its rights; and (iv) promptly use all commercially reasonable efforts
to prevent further possession, use, knowledge, disclosure, or loss of Proprietary Information in contravention of this Agreement. Each party shall bear any costs it incurs in complying with this Section 13.3(e).

  

	 	(f)	No Implied Rights. Nothing contained in this Section 13.3 shall be construed as obligating a Party to disclose its Proprietary Information to the other
Party, or as granting to or conferring on a Party, expressly or impliedly, any rights or license to any Proprietary Information of the other Party. 

	 	(g)	Survival. The Parties’ obligations of non-disclosure and confidentiality shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of five
(5) years. 

  

	 	(h)	Limitation. Neither Party shall be responsible for the loss, corruption, damage or mistransmission of data during the transmission of such data by a third party
telecommunications provider unless to the extent such loss, damage or mistransmission is attributable to error or either Party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

  

	13.4	File Access 

  
 ACE will have unrestricted access to, and the right to review and retain the relevant portion of all computer or other files containing ACE Data. At no
time will any of such files or other materials or information be stored or held in a form or manner not readily accessible to ACE. IBM will provide to the ACE Project Executive all passwords, codes, comments, keys, documentation and the locations of
any such files and other materials promptly upon the request of ACE, including Equipment and Software keys and such information as to format, encryption (if any) and any other specification or information necessary for ACE to retrieve, read, revise
and/or maintain such files and information. Upon the request of the ACE Project Executive, IBM will confirm that, to the best of its knowledge, all files and other information provided to ACE are complete and that no material element, amount, or
other fraction of such files or other information to which ACE may request access or review has been deleted, withheld, disguised or encoded in a manner inconsistent with the purpose and intent of providing full and complete access to ACE as
contemplated by this Agreement. 
  

	13.5	Non-public Personal Information. 

  
 In addition to IBM’s other obligations with respect to ACE Data and ACE Proprietary Information set forth in this Article 13, IBM

(ii) replace or modify the item to make it non-infringing, provided that any such replacement or modification will not materially degrade the performance or quality of the affected component of the Services. If alternatives (i) and
(ii) are not feasible, IBM shall remove the item from the Services and equitably adjust the Charges, if appropriate, to reflect such removal. 

  

	 	(b)	If any item provided by ACE to IBM in its provision of the Services becomes, or in ACE’s reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement or
misappropriation claim or proceeding, ACE shall promptly take the following actions at no charge to IBM: (i) secure the right to continue using the item; or (ii) replace or modify the item to make it non-infringing, provided that any such

	 	(c)	In the event that Hazardous Materials are present at any ACE site during the Term of this Agreement, IBM may cease performance of any affected portion of the Services if and to the
extent IBM’s ability to perform such portion of the Services safely is impacted by the presence of such Hazardous Materials and the unsafe condition cannot reasonably be circumvented by IBM through the use of alternative approaches, workaround
plans or other means. 

  

	 	(d)	ACE shall be liable for and indemnify IBM against all costs, expenses or other Losses incurred or suffered by IBM as a result of the treatment, storage, registration, handling,

Recipients, Subcontractors, CIGNA, agents or representatives or other persons for whom ACE is legally responsible (which specifically excludes IBM or IBM’s employees, subcontractors, agents or representatives). Neither IBM nor ACE shall be
liable to the other for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages. 

  

	17.6	Indemnification Procedures 

  
 With respect to third party claims (other than those covered by Sections 17.1(h) and 17.2(j)), the following procedures shall apply:

  

	 	(a)	 Notice. Promptly after receipt by any entity entitled to indemnification (under Sections 17.1 through 17.5) of notice of the
commencement or threatened commencement of any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action or proceeding involving a claim in respect of which the indemnitee will seek indemnification pursuant to any such Section, the indemnitee shall
notify the indemnitor of such claim in writing. No delay or failure to so notify an indemnitor shall relieve it of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such indemnitor has been harmed by such delay or failure. Within
fifteen (15) days following receipt of written notice from the indemnitee relating to any claim, but no later than five (5) days before the date on which any response to a 

	 	 
complaint or summons is due, the indemnitor shall notify the indemnitee in writing that the indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense and settlement
of that claim (a “Notice of Election”). 

  

	 	(b)	Procedure Following Notice of Election. If the indemnitor delivers a Notice of Election within the required notice period, the indemnitor shall assume sole control over the
defense and settlement of the claim; provided, however, that (i) the indemnitor shall keep the indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense, and (ii) the indemnitor shall obtain the prior written approval
of the indemnitee before entering into any settlement of such claim imposing any obligations or restrictions on the indemnitee or ceasing to defend against such claim. The indemnitor shall not be liable for any legal fees or expenses incurred by the
indemnitee following the delivery of a Notice of Election; provided, however, that (i) the indemnitee shall be entitled to employ counsel at its own expense to participate in the handling of the claim, and (ii) the indemnitor shall
pay the fees and expenses associated with such counsel if, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnitee, based on an opinion of counsel, there is a conflict of interest with respect to such claim. The indemnitor shall not be obligated to indemnify
the indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by such indemnitee in the settlement of any claim if (x) the indemnitor has delivered a timely Notice of Election and such amount was agreed to without the written consent of the indemnitor,
(y) the indemnitee has not provided the indemnitor with notice of such claim and a reasonable opportunity to respond thereto, or (z) the time period within which to deliver a Notice of Election has not yet expired.

  

	 	(c)	Procedure Where No Notice of Election Is Delivered. If the indemnitor does not deliver a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, the
indemnitee shall have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the reasonable cost and expense of the indemnitor. The indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the indemnitee for all such reasonable costs and expenses.

  

	17.7	Indemnification Procedures – Governmental Claims 

  

	 	(a)	Section 17.1 (h) Procedures. With respect to claims covered by Section 17.1(h) the following procedures shall apply: 

  

	 	(1)	Notice. Promptly after receipt by ACE of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim in respect of which the
indemnitee will seek indemnification pursuant to Section 17.1(h) ACE shall notify IBM of such claim in writing. No delay or failure to so notify IBM shall relieve IBM of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent
that IBM has been harmed by such delay or failure. 

  

	 	(2)	Procedure for Defense. ACE shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, however, ACE shall obtain the prior approval
of IBM before entering into any settlement of such claim involving the payment of moneys for which IBM will ultimately be financially response under Section 17.1(h). 

  

	 	(b)	Section 17.2 (j) Procedures. With respect to claims covered by Section 17.2(j) the following procedures shall apply: 

  

	 	(1)	 Notice. Promptly after receipt by IBM of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim in respect of
which the indemnitee will seek indemnification pursuant to Section 17.2(j) IBM shall notify ACE of such claim in writing. No delay or failure to so notify ACE shall relieve ACE of its 

	 	 
obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that ACE has been harmed by such delay or failure. 

  

	 	(2)	Procedure for Defense. IBM shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, however, IBM shall obtain the prior approval
of ACE before entering into any settlement of such claim involving the payment of moneys for which ACE will ultimately be financially response under Section 17.2(j). 

  

	17.8	Subrogation 

  
 In the event that an indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify an indemnitee pursuant to Sections 17.1 through 17.5 or
any other provision of this Agreement, the indemnitor shall, upon payment of such indemnity in full, be subrogated to all rights of the indemnitee with respect to the claims to which such indemnification relates. 
  

	18.	LIABILITY 

  

	18.1	General Intent 

  
 Subject to the specific provisions of this Article 18, it is the intent of the Parties that each Party shall be liable to the other
Party for any actual damages incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of the breaching Party’s failure to perform its obligations in the manner required by this Agreement. 
  

	18.2	Force Majeure 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to Section 18.2(d), no Party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent such
default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God; wars, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, failure of telecommunications carriers, strikes or lockouts or labor disputes
by third parties, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party; provided, that the non-performing Party can not reasonably circumvent the delay through the use of commercially reasonable alternate sources, workaround
plans or other means. A labor dispute involving a Party (or, in the case of IBM, a Subcontractor) and its own personnel shall not excuse such Party from its obligations hereunder. 

  

	 	(b)	In such event the non-performing Party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such
Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Any Party so prevented, hindered or delayed in its performance shall immediately notify the Party
to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within five (5) days of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances of such force majeure event. 

  

	 	(c)	 If any event described in Section 18.2(a) substantially prevents, hinders, or delays the performance by IBM or one of its Subcontractors of
Services associated with critical ACE functions (i.e., functions the non-performance of which has a material adverse effect on the conduct of ACE’s business) for more than the initial recovery period specified in the IBM disaster recovery plan
under this Agreement, or, if no disaster recovery plan exists, for ten (10) consecutive days, ACE may procure such Services from an alternate source, and IBM shall be liable for payment for such reasonable expenses for services from the
alternate source for so long as the delay in performance shall continue, up to the charges 

	 	 
actually paid to IBM for the Services with respect to the period of non-performance. In addition, if any event described in
Section 18.2(a) substantially prevents, hinders, or delays the performance by IBM or one of its Subcontractors of Services associated with critical ACE functions for one hundred and eighty (180) days, ACE will terminate any
portion of this Agreement so affected without payment of Termination Charges and ACE will pay IBM any reasonable unrecovered start-up costs and Out-of-Pocket Expenses associated with ramp down transition costs. 

  

	 	(d)	Upon the occurrence of a force majeure event, IBM shall, to the extent possible, implement promptly, as appropriate, its disaster recovery plan and provide disaster recovery
services therewith. The occurrence of a force majeure event shall not relieve IBM of its obligation to implement its disaster recovery plan and provide disaster recovery services. 

  

	 	(e)	Except as stated in Section 18.2(c), nothing in this Section shall limit or otherwise relieve ACE’s obligation to pay any moneys due IBM under the terms of
this Agreement; provided, that if IBM fails to provide Services in accordance with this Agreement due to the occurrence of a force majeure event, all amounts payable to IBM hereunder shall be equitably adjusted in a manner such that ACE is
not required to pay any amounts for Services that it is not receiving. 

  

	 	(f)	Without limiting IBM’s obligations under this Agreement, whenever a force majeure event causes IBM to allocate limited resources between or among IBM’s customers and
Affiliates, ACE shall be treated at least as favorably as other similarly situated customers expending comparable amounts on an annual basis for the same or substantially similar services. 

  

	18.3	Limitation of Liability 

  

	 	(a)	NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF
THE FORM OF THE ACTION OR THE THEORY OF RECOVERY, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. This Section 18.3(a) shall not limit IBM’s right to recover any amounts becoming due for Services
provided under the Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Except as provided below, the total aggregate liability of either Party for claims for actual, direct damages asserted by the other Party under or in connection with this Agreement,
regardless of the form of the action or the theory of recovery, shall be limited, in aggregate to an amount equal to the total payments received by IBM pursuant to this Agreement for four (4) months prior to the month in which the first event
giving rise to the liability occurred. 

  

	 	(c)	The limitations of liability set forth in Section 18.3(b) shall not apply with respect to (i) any obligation or failure by ACE to pay any amounts due
or past due and owing to IBM pursuant to the terms of the Agreement; (ii) Losses by either Party for bodily injury or damage to real property or tangible personal property; (iii) Termination Charges assessed under Sections 11.11,
20.3 or 20.4; and (iv) either Party’s obligation to indemnify the other Party as provided in Sections 17.1(d), 17.1(f), 17.1(i), 17.2(d), 17.2(e), 17.2(f), 17.2(k) and 17.2(l). 

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding Section 18.3(b), the total aggregate liability of either Party for claims for actual, direct damages for gross negligence or willful misconduct
asserted by the other Party under or in connection with this Agreement or for indemnification under Sections 17.1(h) or 17.2(j), regardless of the form of the action or the theory of recovery, shall be limited, in aggregate to an
amount equal to the total payments received by IBM pursuant to this Agreement for twelve (12) months prior to the month in which the first event giving rise to the liability occurred . 

	 	(e)	Failure by a Party to pay valid and accurate charges due and payable hereunder will not be counted toward the liability cap. 

  

	19.	CONTRACT GOVERNANCE AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

  

	19.1	Informal Dispute Resolution 

  
 Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve their dispute informally, as follows:

  

	 	(a)	The Parties agree that the ACE Contract Executive and the IBM Project Executive will attempt in good faith to resolve all disputes. In the event the ACE Contract Executive and the
IBM Project Executive are unable to resolve a dispute in an amount of time that either Party deems reasonable under the circumstances, such party may refer the dispute for resolution to the senior managers specified in
Section 19.1(b) below upon written notice to the other Party. 

  

	 	(b)	Within five (5) Business Days of a notice under Section 19.1(a) above referring a dispute for resolution by senior managers, the ACE Contract Executive and
the IBM Project Executive will each prepare and provide to an IBM Director of Services Delivery, Insurance Industry and an ACE Chief Information Officer or their designate, respectively, summaries of the relevant information and background of the
dispute, along with any appropriate supporting documentation, for their review. The designated representatives will confer as often as they deem reasonably necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the
matter in issue which the parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The representatives shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any
formal proceeding. The specific format for the discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives, but may include the preparation of agreed-upon statements of fact or written statements of position.

  

	 	(c)	During the course of negotiations under Section 19.1(a) or 19.1(b) above, all reasonable requests made by one Party to another for non-privileged
information, reasonably related to the dispute, will be honored in order that each of the parties may be fully advised of the other’s position. 

  

	 	(d)	Formal proceedings for the resolution of a dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: 

  

	 	(1)	the senior managers under Section 19.1(b) above concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear
likely; 

  

	 	(2)	thirty (30) days after the notice under Section 19.1(a) above referring the dispute to senior managers. 

  

	 	(3)	the dispute is submitted to non-binding mediation in accordance with Section 19.2. 

  
 This provision will not be construed to prevent a Party from instituting, and a Party is authorized to institute, formal
proceedings earlier (i) to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, or (ii) to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors. 

	19.2	Mediation 

  
 If after good faith negotiations conclude, the Parties are still unable to resolve a dispute, the dispute will be submitted to non-binding mediation by a
mutually acceptable mediator to be chosen by the Parties within twenty (20) days after written notice by a Party demanding mediation. If the Parties cannot agree on a mediator, a mediator will be designated by the American Arbitration
Association. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of the mediator and the Parties shall share the costs of the mediation equally. Any dispute which cannot be resolved between the Parties through negotiation or mediation
shall be subject to the commencement of formal proceedings by either Party in court. 
  

	19.3	Jurisdiction 

  
 Each Party irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding brought by it in any way arising out of this Agreement must be brought solely and
exclusively in New York City, New York and each Party irrevocably submits to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in personam, generally and unconditionally with respect to any action, suit or proceeding brought
by it or against it by the other Party. 
  

	19.4	Continued Performance 

  
 Each Party agrees that it shall, unless otherwise directed by the other Party, continue performing its obligations under this Agreement (including payment
by ACE for the Services and providing all Services and Transfer Assistance Services) while any dispute is being resolved unless and until the Term ends. 
  

	19.5	Governing Law 

  
 This Agreement and performance under it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to the principles thereof relating to conflicts of laws. 
  

	19.6	Expiration of Claims 

  
 No claims may be asserted by either Party more than two (2) years after the later of (i) the date ACE received the invoice containing the
disputed charge(s) or amount(s), (ii) the date on which the act or omission giving rise to the claim occurred, or (iii) the date on which such act or omission was or should have been discovered. Failure to make such a claim within such
two-year period shall forever bar the claim. 
  

	20.	TERMINATION 

  

	20.1	Termination for Cause 

  

	 	(a)	If IBM: 

  

	 	(1)	commits a material breach of this Agreement, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach from ACE, unless such breach cannot be
reasonably cured in such 30 day period, in which case ACE shall not have the right to terminate if IBM promptly proceeds within such 30 day period to commence curing the breach and thereafter provides a reasonable workaround, or functionally cures
the breach, within 60 days from receipt of the cure notice; or 

  

	 	(2)	 commits numerous breaches of its duties or obligations which collectively constitute a material breach of this Agreement, which breaches are not cured within thirty
(30) days after written notice of the breaches from ACE, unless such breaches cannot be reasonably cured in 

	 	 
such 30 day period, in which case ACE shall not have the right to terminate if IBM promptly proceeds within such 30 day period to commence curing the breach
and thereafter provides a reasonable workaround, or functionally cures the breach, within 60 days from receipt of the cure notice; 

  
 then ACE may, by giving written notice to IBM, terminate the Term with respect to all of the Services, or, beginning July 1, 2002, with respect to
any or all individual Towers, as of a date specified in the notice of termination. IBM shall not be entitled to any Termination Charges in connection with a Termination for Cause. 
  
 At such time that the environment has reached the target Resource Baselines and ACE and IBM have concluded the Service Level
Measurement Period, ACE and IBM will establish thresholds setting forth criteria for Termination for Cause for failure to meet certain Service Levels. The criteria to be used in setting the thresholds shall include multiple concurrent Service Level
Category Failures during consecutive months, or during an aggregate number of months in any twelve month period, which, at a minimum, exceeds the number of months required to maximize the progressive credits available pursuant to Schedule
E. 
  

	 	(b)	If ACE commits a material breach of this Agreement (except for material breaches caused by ACE’s failure to make undisputed payments as set forth in
Section 20.1(c) below), which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach from IBM, unless such breach cannot be reasonably cured in such 30 day period, in which case IBM shall not have the
right to terminate if ACE promptly proceeds within such 30 day period to commence curing the breach and thereafter provides a reasonable workaround, or functionally cures the breach, within 60 days from receipt of the cure notice; then IBM may, by
giving written notice to ACE, terminate the Term with respect to all of the Services, or, beginning July 1, 2002, with respect to any or all individual Towers, as of a date specified in the notice of termination. IBM shall not be entitled to
any Termination Charges in connection with a Termination for Cause. 

  

	 	(c)	If ACE commits a material breach of this Agreement by failing to make an undisputed payment to IBM which is due and payable hereunder (in accordance with
Section 12.4), which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after such payment becomes due and payable, then IBM may, by giving written notice to ACE, terminate the Term with respect to all of the Services, or, beginning
July 1, 2002, with respect to any or all individual Towers, as of a date specified in the notice of termination. IBM shall not be entitled to any Termination Charges in connection with a Termination for Cause. 

  

	20.2	Critical Services 

  
 Without limiting ACE’s rights under Section 20.1, if IBM commits a material breach which has a significant impact on ACE’s
ability to perform a material function required by ACE’s business, and IBM is unable to provide a reasonable workaround or functionally cure such breach within three (3) ACE Business Days, or such longer period if such breach requires
disaster recovery services as soon as such services are available, ACE may, in addition to its other remedies at law and in equity, obtain from a third party or provide for itself such services which will allow ACE to conduct ACE’s business
until IBM has cured the breach or this Agreement is terminated. To the extent ACE continues to pay the Annual Service Charges to IBM during the period of breach, IBM shall reimburse ACE for all costs and expenses of obtaining or providing such
services for up to one hundred eighty (180) days. The express inclusion of this remedy in this Section 20.2 does not limit ACE’s right to use a similar remedy for other breaches by IBM of this Agreement. 

	20.3	Termination for Convenience 

  
 ACE may terminate the Agreement for convenience and without cause at any time by giving IBM at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior written
notice designating the termination date, or, beginning July 1, 2002, with respect to any or all individual Towers. On the effective date of termination, ACE shall pay to IBM a Termination Charge calculated in accordance with
Schedule J. In the event that a purported termination for cause by ACE under Section 20.1 is determined by a competent authority not to be properly a termination for cause, then such termination by ACE shall be
deemed to be a termination for convenience under this Section 20.3. Any Termination Charges associated with New Services agreed upon by the Parties under the auspices of separate statements of work will be specified in each
statement of work. 
  

	20.4	Termination upon IBM Change of Control 

  
 In the event of a Change in Control of IBM, ACE may terminate this Agreement by giving IBM notice of the termination at least 90 days prior to the
termination date specified in the notice. In the event of a termination of Change in Control of IBM, ACE shall pay to IBM, in addition to all Fees owing under this Agreement, the applicable amount set forth in Schedule J for
termination for Change in Control of IBM. 
  

	20.5	ACE’s Right to Extend the Termination Date 

  
 Except in the case of a valid termination for cause by IBM (unless ACE agrees to pay for Services provided by or for IBM in advance and cures any payment
default that causes such termination), ACE may elect, upon sixty (60) days prior written notice, to extend the effective date of any expiration/termination or Transfer Assistance one time, at its sole discretion, provided that the total of such
extension will not exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days following the originally specified effective date without IBM’s prior written consent. For any notice or notices of such extensions provided to IBM within thirty (30) days
prior to the actual date of termination, ACE shall reimburse IBM for additional expenses reasonably incurred by IBM as a result thereof. 
  

	20.6	Equitable Remedies 

  
 IBM acknowledges that, in the event it breaches (or attempts or threatens to breach) its obligation to provide ACE Transfer Assistance Services as
provided in Section 4.3, ACE will be irreparably harmed. In such a circumstance, ACE may proceed directly to court. In such event, IBM agrees that it will not utilize as a defense that ACE did not suffer harm due to IBM’s
breach of its obligations to provide ACE with Transfer Assistance Services.

	 	(1)	 Either Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, without the approval of the other Party, to an Affiliate which expressly assumes such
Party’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and is not a direct competitor of the other Party; provided, that the assigning Party shall remain fully liable for and shall not be relieved from the full performance of all obligations
under this Agreement. Any Party assigning its rights or obligations to an Affiliate in accordance with this Agreement shall, within three (3) Business 

	 	 
Days after such assignment, provide written notice thereof to the other Party together with a copy of the assignment document. 

 

	 	(2)	Either Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Entity acquiring, directly or indirectly, Control of such Party, an Entity into which such Party is

Entity receiving the Services shall show evidence that it can satisfy its obligations under the Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	Impermissible Assignment. Any attempted assignment that does not comply with the terms of this Section shall be null and void.

	 	(b)	ACE shall perform its obligations under this Agreement in a manner that complies with applicable Laws. If a charge of non-compliance by ACE with any such Laws occurs, ACE shall
promptly notify IBM of such charges in writing.

 The article and section headings and the table of contents used herein are for reference and convenience only and shall not be considered in the
interpretation of this Agreement. 
  

	21.7	Relationship of Parties 

  
 IBM, in furnishing services to ACE hereunder, is acting as an independent contractor, and IBM has the sole obligation to supervise, manage, contract,
direct, procure, perform or cause to be performed, all work to be performed by IBM under this Agreement. IBM is not an agent of ACE and has no right, power or authority, expressly or impliedly, to represent or bind ACE as to any matters, except as
expressly authorized in this Agreement. 

	21.8	Severability 

  
 In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law under which this Agreement is to be construed or if any such provision is held
invalid or unenforceable by a court with jurisdiction over the Parties, such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in accordance with applicable law. The remaining provisions
of this Agreement and the application of the challenged provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each such provision shall be valid and enforceable to the
full extent permitted by law. 
  

	21.9	Consents and Approval 

  
 Except where expressly provided as being in the sole discretion of a Party, where agreement, approval, acceptance, consent, confirmation, notice or
similar action by either Party is required under this Agreement, such action shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. For purposes of this Section 21.9, unreasonably delayed shall not be longer than seven (7) days
unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. An approval or consent given by a Party under this Agreement shall not relieve the other Party from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this Agreement, nor shall it be construed as a waiver
of any rights under this Agreement, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such approval or consent. 
  

	21.10 	Waiver of Default; Cumulative Remedies 

  

	 	(a)	A delay or omission by either Party hereto to exercise any right or power under this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by either of the Parties
hereto of any of the covenants to be performed by the other or any breach thereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant herein contained. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the
Party waiving its rights. 

  

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

  

	21.11 	Survival 

  
 Any provision of this Agreement which contemplates performance or observance subsequent to any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive
any termination or expiration of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect. Additionally, all provisions of this Agreement will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement to the fullest extent necessary to give the Parties
the full benefit of the bargain expressed herein. 
  

	21.12 	Publicity 

  
 Neither Party shall use the other Party’s name or mark or refer to the other Party directly or indirectly in any media release, public announcement,
or public disclosure relating to this Agreement, including in any promotional or marketing materials, customer lists or business presentations without the prior written consent of the other Party to each such use or release. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, IBM may list ACE as a customer in proposals and other marketing materials. 

	21.13 	Service Marks 

  
 The Parties agree that they shall not, without the other Party’s prior written consent, use any of the names, service marks or trademarks of ACE or

 The Parties acknowledge that certain Software and technical data to be provided hereunder and certain transactions hereunder may be subject to export
controls under the laws and regulations of the United States and other countries. No Party shall export or re-export any such items or any direct product thereof or undertake any transaction in violation of any such laws or regulations. To the
extent within IBM’s control, IBM shall be responsible for, and shall coordinate and oversee, compliance with such export laws in respect of such items exported or imported hereunder. 
  

	21.15 	Third Party Beneficiaries 

  
 Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is entered into solely between, and may be enforced only by, ACE and IBM. This Agreement shall not be
deemed to create any rights or causes of action in or on behalf of any third parties, including without limitation employees, vendors and customers of a Party, or to create any obligations of a Party to any such third parties. 
  

	21.16 	Order of Precedence 

  
 In the event of a conflict, this Agreement shall take precedence over the Schedules attached hereto, and the Schedules shall take precedence over any
attached Exhibits. 
  

	21.17 	Hiring of Employees 

  
 Except as expressly set forth herein, during the Term, IBM will not, by IBM’s employees that are directly involved in the performance of IBM’s
obligations under this Agreement, solicit or cause to be solicited for employment, nor employ, any current employee of ACE or an Eligible Recipient without the prior written consent of ACE. Except as expressly set forth herein in connection with the
expiration or termination of this Agreement, during the Term, ACE will not, by ACE’s employees that are directly involved in the performance of ACE’s obligations under this Agreement, solicit or cause to be solicited for employment
directly, nor employ, any current employee of IBM or its Affiliates or subcontractors involved in the performance of IBM’s obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of IBM. 
  

	21.18 	Further Assurances 

  
 Each Party covenants and agrees that, subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and without any additional consideration, each Party
shall execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any acts that are or may become necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. 
  

	21.19 	Liens 

  
 IBM will not file, or by its sole action or inaction intentionally permit, any mechanics or materialman’s liens to be filed on or against property or
realty of ACE or any Eligible Recipient. In the event that any such Liens arise as a result of IBM’s action or inaction, IBM will take commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Liens at its sole cost and expense. 

	21.20 	Covenant of Good Faith 

  
 Each Party agrees that, in its respective dealings with the other Party under or in connection with this Agreement, it shall act in good faith.

  

	21.21 	Acknowledgment 

  
 The Parties each acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this Agreement have been the subject of active and complete negotiations, and that such
terms and conditions should not be construed in favor of or against any Party by reason of the extent to which any Party or its professional advisors participated in the preparation of this Agreement. 
  

	21.22 	Related Entities 

  
 ACE shall cause Eligible Recipients and any divested entities to whom IBM provides or has provided the Services to perform and comply with provisions of
confidentiality, representations and warranties, limitation of liabilities and other responsibilities of ACE that may be applicable. 
  

	21.23 	Divestitures 

  
 If ACE or any ACE Affiliate divests any Affiliate or other operation or entity during the Term of this Agreement and desires that IBM continue to provide
the Services for such Affiliate or other operation or entity, IBM will continue to provide ACE and/or such divested Affiliate or other operation or entity with the Services if such divested Affiliate or other operation or entity (i) was an
Eligible Recipient prior to being divested, (ii) agrees to be the subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) operates and communicates with IBM with respect to the Agreement and Services through ACE and not directly with IBM.
Including any incremental costs associated therewith, IBM shall charge ACE for the continuing performance and delivery of the Services allocable to such Affiliates or other operation or entity based on the existing formula and charging methodologies
for the Charges and ACE hereby agrees to be responsible for such costs and charges. It is the intention of the Parties that IBM shall be responsible to provide the Services to any such divested Affiliate, operation or entity for the shortest
reasonable period, and that in no event shall such Services be required to be continued for more than (i) twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of such divestiture and (ii) the last day of the period during which IBM is
obligated to provide the Services to ACE, whichever is earlier, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. 
  

	21.24 	Remarketing 

  
 ACE may not remarket all or any portion of the Services provided under the Agreement, or make all or any portion of the Services available to any Entity
other than the Eligible Recipients, without the prior written consent of IBM. 
  

	21.25 	Right to Perform Services for Others 

  
 Each Party recognizes that IBM personnel providing Services to ACE under this Agreement may perform similar services for others and this Agreement shall
not prevent IBM from using the personnel and equipment provided to ACE under this Agreement for such purposes. IBM may perform its obligations through its subsidiaries, Affiliates or through the use of IBM-selected independent contractors; provided,
however, that 

 
IBM shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement by use of such subsidiaries, Affiliates, or subcontractors. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective
duly authorized representatives as of the Effective Date.

 Exhibit 10.2 
  
 AMENDED AND RESTATED INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is entered into, effective as of November 17, 2005 by and between ACE Limited, a Cayman Islands company
(the “Company”), and (“Indemnitee”). 
  
 WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available; 
  
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director and/or officer of the Company; 
  

WHEREAS, both the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of litigation and other claims currently being asserted against directors and
officers of corporations; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Articles of Association
of the Company require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and permit the Company to advance expenses relating to the defense of indemnification matters, and the Indemnitee has been serving and
continues to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company in part in reliance on the Company’s Articles of Association; 
  
 WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for (i) substantial protection against personal liability based on Indemnitee’s reliance on
the aforesaid Articles of Association, (ii) specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by the Articles of Association will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the
Articles of Association or any change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to the Company), and (iii) an inducement to provide effective services to the Company as a director and/or
officer, the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted under law and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the
extent insurance is maintained, to provide for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee have previously entered into an indemnification agreement, dated as of
                    , 2004 (the “Original Agreement”), and now desires to amend and restate in its entirety the Original Agreement
as set forth herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
above premises and of Indemnitee continuing to serve the Company directly or, at its request, with another enterprise, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Certain Definitions: 
  
 (a) Board: the Board of Directors of the Company.

  
 (b) Affiliate: any corporation or
other person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified. 

 (c) Change in Control: shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
  
 (i) any “person,” as such term is used in
Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes a “beneficial owner,” as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under that act, of 50% or more of the Voting Stock (as defined below) of the
Company; 
  
 (ii) the majority of the Board
consists of individuals other than Incumbent Directors, which term means the members of the Board on the Effective Date; provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to such date whose election or nomination for election was supported by
three-quarters of the directors who then comprised the Incumbent Directors shall be considered to be an Incumbent Director; 
  
 (iii) the Company adopts any plan of liquidation providing for the distribution of all or substantially all of its assets; 
  
 (iv) all or substantially all of the assets or business of
the Company is disposed of pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other transaction (unless the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in
substantially the same proportion as they owned the Voting Stock of the Company, all of the Voting Stock or other ownership interests of the entity or entities, if any, that succeed to the business of the Company); or 
  
 (v) the Company combines with another company and is the
surviving corporation but, immediately after the combination, the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the combination hold, directly or indirectly, 50% or less of the Voting Stock of the combined company (there being excluded from the
number of shares held by such shareholders, but not from the Voting Stock of the combined company, any shares received by Affiliates (as defined below) of such other company in exchange for stock of such other company). 
  
 For the purpose of this definition of “Change in Control,”
(I) an “Affiliate” of a person or other entity shall mean a person or other entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the person or other entity specified and (II) “Voting
Stock” shall mean capital stock of any class or classes having general voting power under ordinary circumstances, in the absence of contingencies, to elect the directors of a corporation. 
  
 (d) Expenses: any expense, liability, or loss,
including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, any interest, assessments, or other charges imposed thereon, any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed as a
result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, and all other costs and obligations, paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, prosecuting (subject to Section 2(b)), being a witness in,
participating in (including on appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing in, any Proceeding relating to any Indemnifiable Event. 
  
 (e) Indemnifiable Event: (i) any event or occurrence that takes place either prior to or after the execution of this
Agreement, related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, or fiduciary of another
foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust, or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of a foreign or 
  

 2 

 domestic corporation that was a predecessor corporation of the Company or of another enterprise at the
request of such predecessor corporation, or related to anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity, whether or not the basis of the Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or
in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, as described above or (ii) any event or occurrence that takes place either prior to or after the execution of this Agreement, related to the fact
that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust, or other enterprise and that
relates to the subject matter of the investigations referred to in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 or any other investigation (whether or not the Company is a target of such investigation) by
any government entity covering subject matter that is substantially similar to the subject matter of, or arises out of, the foregoing investigations. 
  
 (f) Independent Counsel: the person or body appointed in connection with Section 3. 
  
 (g) Proceeding: any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, or proceeding or any alternative dispute resolution mechanism (including an action by or in the right of the Company), or any inquiry, hearing, or investigation, whether conducted by the Company or any other party, that Indemnitee in
good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or other. 
  
 (h) Reviewing Party: the person or body appointed in accordance with Section 3. 
  
 (i) Voting Securities: any securities of the Company
that vote generally in the election of directors. 
  
 2.
Agreement to Indemnify. 
  
 (a) General
Agreement. In the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Proceeding by reason of (or arising in part out of) an
Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or interpreted (but in the case of any such amendment or
interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto). The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide for
indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute, including, without limitation, any indemnification provided by the Company’s Articles of Association, vote of its shareholders or disinterested directors, or applicable law.

  
 (b) Initiation of Proceeding.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of
the Company unless (i) the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; (ii) the Proceeding is one to enforce indemnification rights under Section 5; or (iii) the Proceeding is instituted
after a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control approved by a majority of the directors on the Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) and Independent Counsel has approved its initiation. 
  

 3 

 (c) Expense Advances. If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance
(within ten business days of such request) any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an “Expense Advance”); provided that, (i) such an Expense Advance shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay the amount thereof if it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company, and (ii) if and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to
be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid. If Indemnitee has commenced or commences legal proceedings in a
court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, as provided in Section 4, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding, and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal
therefrom have been exhausted or have lapsed). Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon. 
  
 (d) Mandatory Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent
that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
incurred in connection therewith. 
  
 (e)
Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless
indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
  
 (f) Prohibited Indemnification. No indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by the Company: 
  
 (i) on account of any Proceeding in which judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or
sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local laws; or 
  
 (ii) if a court of competent jurisdiction by a final
judicial determination, shall determine that such indemnity is not permitted under applicable law. 
  
 3. Reviewing Party. Prior to any Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members
of the Board or any other person or body appointed by the Board who is not a party to the particular Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification; after a Change in Control, the Independent Counsel referred to below shall
become the Reviewing Party. With respect to all matters arising after a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control approved by a majority of the directors on the Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) concerning
the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or the Company’s Articles of Association now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for
Indemnifiable Events, the Company shall seek legal advice only from Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which 
  

 4 

 approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and who has not otherwise performed services for the
Company or the Indemnitee (other than in connection with indemnification matters) within the last five years. The Independent Counsel shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would
have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as
to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee should be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of Independent Counsel pursuant hereto. 
  
 4. Indemnification Process and Appeal. 
  
 (a) Indemnification Payment. Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification of Expenses, and shall
receive payment thereof, from the Company in accordance with this Agreement as soon as practicable after Indemnitee has made written demand on the Company for indemnification, unless the Reviewing Party has given a written opinion to the Company
that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law. 
  
 (b) Suit to Enforce Rights. Regardless of any action by the Reviewing Party, if Indemnitee has not received full indemnification within thirty days after making a demand in accordance with Section 4(a),
Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce its indemnification rights under this Agreement by commencing litigation in any court in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York having subject matter jurisdiction thereof seeking
an initial determination by the court or challenging any determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof. The Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party not
challenged by Indemnitee shall be binding on the Company and Indemnitee. The remedy provided for in this Section 4 shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Indemnitee at law or in equity. 
  
 (c) Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof, and
Presumptions. It shall be a defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Company to enforce this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Company) that it is not permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action or any determination by
the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proving such a defense or determination shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Reviewing Party or the Company (including
its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action by Indemnitee that indemnification of the claimant is proper under the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the
standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party or Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee had not met such applicable standard of conduct,
shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. For purposes of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the termination of any claim, action, suit, or
proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of
conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. 
  

 5 

 5. Indemnification for Expenses Incurred in Enforcing Rights. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against any and all Expenses that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for 
  
 (a) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or
the Company’s Articles of Association now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, and/or 
  
 (b) recovery under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, but only in the event that
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall, if so requested by Indemnitee, advance the foregoing Expenses to Indemnitee, subject to and in
accordance with Section 2(c). 
  
 6. Notification and
Defense of Proceeding. 
  
 (a) Notice.
Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee, except as provided in Section 6(c). 
  
 (b) Defense. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company
will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense and except as otherwise provided below, to the extent the Company so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from
the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Proceeding, the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense of
such Proceeding other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ legal counsel in such Proceeding, but all Expenses related thereto incurred after notice from the Company of its
assumption of the defense shall be at Indemnitee’s expense unless: (i) the employment of legal counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee has reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of
interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the defense of the Proceeding, (iii) after a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control approved by a majority of the directors on the Board who were directors immediately prior to such
Change in Control), the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Counsel, or (iv) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases all Expenses
of the Proceeding shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided for in (ii),
(iii) and (iv) above. 
  
 (c)
Settlement of Claims. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld; provided, 
  

 6 

 however, that if a Change in Control has occurred (other than a Change in Control approved by a majority
of the directors on the Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), the Company shall be liable for indemnification of Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement. The
Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard
to any judicial award if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action; the Company’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if participation in the Proceeding by
the Company was barred by this Agreement. 
  
 7. Establishment
of Trust. In the event of a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control approved by a majority of the directors on the Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) the Company shall, upon written request by
Indemnitee, create a Trust for the benefit of the Indemnitee and from time to time upon written request of Indemnitee shall fund the Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such
request to be incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, participating in, and/or defending any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event. The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the foregoing funding
obligation shall be determined by the Independent Counsel. The terms of the Trust shall provide that (i) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (ii) the Trustee shall
advance, within ten business days of a request by the Indemnitee, any and all Expenses to the Indemnitee (and the Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under the same circumstances for which the Indemnitee would be required to reimburse
the Company under Section 2(c) of this Agreement), (iii) the Trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above, (iv) the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all amounts
for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and (v) all unexpended funds in the Trust shall revert to the Company upon a final determination by the Independent Counsel or a court of
competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that the Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee shall be chosen by the Indemnitee. Nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve the Company of any of its
obligations under this Agreement. All income earned on the assets held in the Trust shall be reported as income by the Company for federal, state, local, and foreign tax purposes. The Company shall pay all costs of establishing and maintaining the
Trust and shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the establishment and maintenance of the Trust. 

 
 8. Non-Exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in
addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Company’s Articles of Association, applicable law, or otherwise; provided, however, that this Agreement shall supersede any prior indemnification agreement between the Company and the
Indemnitee. To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Company’s Articles of Association, applicable law, or this Agreement,
it is the intent of the parties that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. 
  
 9. Liability Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing general and/or directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director or officer.

 10. Continuation of Contractual Indemnity or Period of Limitations. All agreements and obligations
of the Company contained herein shall continue for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to, or involved in, any proceeding for which indemnification is provided pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no legal action shall be
brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years
from the date of accrual of such cause of action, or such longer period as may be required by Cayman Islands law under the circumstances. Any claim or cause of action of the Company or its Affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless
asserted by the timely filing and notice of a legal action within such period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, the shorter period shall govern. 
  
 11. Amendment of this Agreement. No supplement, modification, or
amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless in the form of a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of the waiver is sought, and no such waiver shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided herein, no failure to exercise or
any delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof. 
  
 12. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required
and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
  
 13. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy, Articles of Association, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder. 
  
 14. Binding Effect. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to
all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified
capacity pertaining to an Indemnifiable Event even though he may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any Proceeding. 
  
 15. Severability. If any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void,
or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining 
  

 8 

 provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest
extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void, or unenforceable) shall
be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, void, or unenforceable. 
  
 16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts
made and to be performed in such State without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws. 
  
 17. Notices. All notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given if delivered by hand, against receipt, or mailed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed to the Company at:

 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Agreement as of the day specified above.
