2.2 Evolution and Improvement of Services. It is anticipated that the Services will evolve and be supplemented, modified, improved, enhanced or replaced by Provider over time to keep pace with advancements and improvements in the means and methods of delivering Services. These changes will modify the Services and will not require an Order except to the extent that a change results in Services that are materially different from and materially in addition to those then being provided by Provider. Without limiting the foregoing:

(i) Provider shall offer Company a first priority right to participate in any Provider pilot programs for any new processes, best practices or technology; and

(ii) Provider shall identify and propose the implementation of any technology or process related to the Services that is likely to:

(1) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Services (including cost savings);

(2) result in cost savings or revenue increases to Company in areas of its business outside of the Services;

(3) enhance Company’s ability to conduct its business or serve its customers; or

(4) achieve Company’s objectives set out in this Agreement faster or more efficiently than the then current strategies.

2.3 New Service Request. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is intended to provide the framework for a global relationship for the Services to be provided by Provider and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement. During the Term of this Agreement, Company or an Affiliate of Company may from time-to-time initiate a request for Provider or an Affiliate of Provider to perform new services on its behalf, including new categories of services or services at new buildings or Company sites (“New Services”) to the extent the New Services are similar to the Services or services provided by Provider to other customers or consistent with Provider’s integrated facilities management services business generally. In engaging Provider to perform New Services, Company or its Affiliate shall enter into one or more written Orders (each an “Order”) pursuant to which such New Services shall be performed. A template form of Order is attached hereto as Exhibit K (Example Form of Order). Upon execution thereof by each Party, each Order will incorporate the terms of this Agreement and will form a distinct contract between the Parties (or Affiliates of the Parties, as specified in the Order) in relation to the relevant Services being provided under that Order; provided, however, any Order where an Affiliate of Provider is proposed to be the “Provider” with respect to such New Services also shall be executed by Provider as shown on the example form of Order attached hereto as Exhibit K (Example Form of Order). Any Services performed pursuant to an Order shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) if an Affiliate of Provider is the “Provider” under the Order, such Provider and such Affiliate shall be deemed jointly and severally to be the Provider under the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the New Services under such Order and (ii) if any of the provisions of this Agreement would conflict with or otherwise violate any Applicable Laws of the jurisdiction where the Services under such Order will be performed or Company’s facilities governed by such Order are located, then such Order may modify the provisions of this Agreement to the extent of such conflict or violation if both Company and Provider each have consented to such modifications in writing. If an Order is to be executed with an Affiliate of Company, Provider shall have the right to approve such Affiliate, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.4 Scope. Provider shall furnish and be responsible for all materials, equipment and activities that are necessary or required for its performance of the Services, including without limitation all supervision, administration, coordination, labor, inspection, testing and other services, equipment, supplies and other goods, means, methods, techniques, sequences, licenses, permits, approvals and documents.

2.5 Non-Exclusivity of Services.

(i) Nothing in this Agreement requires Company to acquire from Provider the Services. Company may, in its sole discretion, acquire additional services similar to the Services from any Third Party Suppliers or perform such services internally.

(ii) During the Term and the Termination Assistance Period, Company may increase or decrease the volume of the Services as a result of Company electing to provide such volumes internally or obtain such volumes from a Third Party Supplier.

(iii) Company shall not be obligated to acquire any of the Services from Provider with respect to any additional business unit, site or entity including pursuant to an acquisition. However, subject to Section 2.3 above, Company will have the option pursuant to an Order for New Services to direct Provider to provide Services under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to service any additional entity or business unit, and, if such additional entity or business unit has an agreement with Provider for facilities management related services at the time of such acquisition, Provider will not impose any termination fees on Company or such entity or business unit in connection with termination of such agreement and replacement with such agreement with the new Order hereunder[*].

(iv) After giving notice to Provider, as provided in the following sentence, Company may insource or obtain from a third party any portion of the Services. Before insourcing or obtaining from a third party any portion of the Services, Company shall (i) give prior written notice to Provider that Company is contemplating such insourcing or alternative sourcing, including a description of the affected Services and allow the Provider at least fifteen (15) days to discuss such proposed changes prior to Company making any proposed commitments with respect to such insourcing or third party engagement and (ii) not terminate the Services proposed to be insourced or serviced by an alternative provider prior to the date thirty (30) days after such fifteen-day discussion period. In the event Company insources or obtains from a third party a portion of the Services, but not the entire scope of Service, Provider shall notify Company during the fifteen-day discussion period whether there are any [*] that Provider will incur pursuant to any Subcontracts and Supply Contracts related to the Services proposed to be terminated, and Company will have the option of assuming the applicable Subcontracts and Supply Contracts [*]. Any termination of Services pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be evidenced by a Change in accordance with the Change Control Process. [*]

2.6 Standard of Care. Provider shall meet the Standard of Care in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

2.7 Interpretation of Documents. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the main body of this Agreement and the Orders (if any), Exhibits, Schedules, Attachments or Appendices, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. However, (i) a term or terms of an Order shall control to the extent the Order expressly provides that such term(s) supersede and control over the terms of the Agreement and, (ii) to the extent that a conflict is with respect to the quality of the Services, the Exhibit A (Description of Services) and Exhibit C (Key Performance Indicators/Service Level Agreements) shall prevail. No other terms, including without limitation any terms or conditions set forth in any document issued by Provider, are effective unless accepted by Company in writing.

2.8 Affiliates. When an Order is entered into by one or more Affiliates of Provider, both the applicable Affiliate and Provider shall be jointly and severally liable and responsible to Company and its Affiliates for all obligations to be undertaken by such Affiliate(s) of Provider under the Order. In the event that any of Provider’s Affiliates fail to perform any of their obligations under any Order issued hereunder, Provider shall cause such obligations to be discharged in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the applicable Order. Provider acknowledges and agrees that Company may seek recourse directly against Provider for the failure of any of Provider’s Affiliates to perform any obligations under any Order without seeking or exhausting remedies against such Provider Affiliates. Provider’s liability to Company under this Section 2.8 shall not be reduced or otherwise modified by any full or partial discharge or reduction of a Provider Affiliate’s liability to Company under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding. If an Order is executed by an Affiliate of Company (subject to Provider’s approval right pursuant to Section 2.3 above), the obligations of the Affiliate under the Order shall be independent obligations of such Affiliate and Company shall not have joint and several liability with respect to the Order unless otherwise expressly agreed by Company in writing.

2.9 Non-Solicitation of Employees. Except as provided in Section 12.8 or Section 18.8, during the Term and Termination Assistance Period and for a period of [*] months thereafter, neither Party shall directly or indirectly solicit for hire any personnel or employees of the other Party [*] unless such Party has consulted with the other Party and obtained permission to solicit such employee of the other Party for employment. This Section 2.9 shall not apply in the event that any employee of a Party seeks employment with the other Party in response to a general advertisement or recruiting effort not directed at such employee or Party, or any employee of either Party who is terminated or otherwise released from employment by Party or its Affiliates.

3. SERVICE LEVELS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

3.1 General. Provider shall perform the Services at least (i) at the level of the Service Levels (including applicable SLA Targets and KPI Targets) set forth in Exhibit C (Key Performance Indicators/Service Level Agreements) or in the applicable Order and (ii) where no KPI Target or SLA Target is set forth in Exhibit C (Key Performance Indicators/Service Level Agreements) or the applicable Order, at the same level and with at least the same degree of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness, security and efficiency as was provided prior to the Effective Date by or for Company. At all times Provider’s level of performance shall be at least equal to the Service Levels or, in cases where Service Levels do not exist, to accepted industry standards of first tier providers of services similar to the Services.

3.2 Service Level Failure. Provider shall inform Company immediately if Provider is unable, or is reasonably likely to be unable, to provide the Services in accordance with the Service Levels (including applicable SLA Targets and KPI Targets) or this Agreement or if any organizational, security-related or other changes will materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the provision of the Services. Without limiting the remedies available to Company hereunder, upon Provider’s failure to provide any of the Services in accordance with the Service Levels required with respect thereto, whether or not the cause of such failure is immediately identified and cured by Provider, Provider shall immediately: (i) perform an analysis to identify the root cause of such failure; (ii) identify the procedures necessary for correcting the failure and implementing such procedures to effectuate such correction; (iii) provide Company with a report detailing the findings and procedures identified and implemented under (i) and (ii) above; and (iv) take appropriate preventive measures so that the problem does not recur.

3.3 Cooperation with Third Parties. In order for Provider to provide the Services in accordance with the Service Levels, Provider may be required to coordinate its efforts with Third Party Suppliers. With respect to Service Level failures caused by Third Party Suppliers, except as set forth in Section 3.4, Provider’s failure to meet such Service Levels shall not be excused and Provider shall remain responsible for the performance of the Services in accordance with the Service Levels.

Note: Redacted portions have been marked with [*]. The redacted portions are subject to a request for confidential treatment that has been submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.4 Excused Service Level Failure. To the extent Provider demonstrates to Company’s reasonable satisfaction that any SLA Failure or KPI Failure is directly attributable to: (A) a breach of this Agreement by Company that prevents Provider from meeting the applicable SLA Target or KPI Target; or (B) acts or omissions of Company or a Third Party Supplier, provided that (1) Provider was unable to notify Company in writing of the consequences of such acts or omissions or Company disregarded any notice made by Provider as to the consequences of such acts or omissions, (2) Provider complied with the requirements of any applicable BC Plan, and (3) Provider was unable to take other reasonable steps to avert such consequences, then the measurement of such SLA Target or KPI Target shall be adjusted to account for the abovementioned factors during the period that such factors were in effect.

3.5 Periodic Reviews. At least annually or more often as set forth in each Order or the service metrics specified in this Agreement, Company and Provider shall review the Service Levels and make adjustments to them as appropriate to reflect improved performance capabilities associated with advances in the technology and methods used to perform the Services. The Parties expect and understand that the Service Levels shall be optimized over time.

3.6 Measurement and Monitoring Tools. Provider shall, with respect to each Service Level, prior to the date that such Service Level takes effect, implement and/or test measurement and monitoring tools and procedures acceptable to Company to measure and report Provider’s performance of the Services against the applicable Service Levels. Such measurement and monitoring tools and procedures shall permit reporting at a level of detail sufficient to verify Provider’s compliance with the Service Levels. Without limiting Provider’s responsibility to develop and maintain such measurement and monitoring tools and procedures, if at any time such measurement and monitoring tools are temporarily inoperable or unavailable, Provider may manually prepare the applicable studies and reports. Provider shall also provide Company with on-line access to the most current data used by Provider to calculate its performance against the Service Levels and the measurement and monitoring tools and procedures utilized by Provider to generate such data. Given the nature of Company’s multi-vendor environment, any such data may be shared by Company with third party providers, provided that such third party providers have executed appropriate non-disclosure agreements or are otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not disclose any KPI Scorecard and SLA Scorecard to any Provider Competitors. The use of any such data by the third party providers shall be limited to managing the provision and delivery of services, products and resources to Company and resolving any issues or problems relating to the provision and delivery of any such services, products or resources. Company shall not be required to pay any amount in addition to the Services Costs for (i) such measurement and monitoring tools or (ii) any resources utilized in connection with such measurement and monitoring tools.

3.7 Third Party Provider Performance Data. Provider acknowledges and agrees that it may receive performance data from third party providers and such performance data shall be Confidential Information of Company. Provider further agrees that it shall use such performance data only for managing the provision and delivery of services, products and resources and resolving any problems or issues that relate to such services, products and resources. Provider shall not use any such performance data for any other purpose, except as otherwise agreed by Company.

3.8 Service Level Reporting. No later than the first business day falling on or after the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month (or as otherwise specified in Exhibit C) during the Term and Termination Assistance Period, Provider shall provide Company with a monthly (or as otherwise specified in Exhibit C) performance report describing Provider’s performance of the Services in the preceding month (or other time frame specified in Exhibit C), which report shall be made available to Company in an online, electronic form. Each such report shall:

(i) for each area of the Services, assess the degree to which Provider has attained or failed to attain the Service Levels;

(ii) explain any Service Level failures and include a plan for corrective action where appropriate;

Confidential 5

(iii) identify any problems or issues of which Provider becomes aware that are being caused by the acts or omissions of any Third Party Suppliers and agree with the proposed steps necessary to resolve any such problems or issues;

(iv) include such documentation and other information as Company may reasonably request to verify compliance with the Service Levels; and

(v) include a quarter-to-date and year-to-date analysis and report identifying service trends in Provider’s performance of the Services. Such analysis and report shall provide observations and suggestions for the continuous improvement and enhancement of the Services in accordance with Section 2.2.

The foregoing information shall be updated on a monthly basis unless a different reporting period is set forth in Exhibit C (Key Performance Indicators/Service Level Agreements). Any failure by Provider to report on Provider’s success or failure to meet any Service Level, including if such failure results from Provider’s failure to implement, or delay in implementing, appropriate measurement and monitoring tools pursuant to Section 3.6, shall be deemed to be a Service Level failure with respect to the applicable Service Level for the applicable Measurement Period[*].

3.9 Customer Satisfaction Surveys.

(i) As set forth in Exhibit N (Customer Satisfaction), Provider shall, on a periodic basis throughout the Term and Termination Assistance Period, survey a representative sample of users of the Services to ascertain their level of satisfaction with Provider’s management and provision of the Services. The representative sample, survey format and questions shall be as described in Exhibit N (Customer Satisfaction) and shall be subject to Company’s review and approval.

(ii) Provider shall continuously monitor customer satisfaction surveys. If such surveys show any material or recurring dissatisfaction, Provider shall, within thirty (30) days of the completion of the applicable customer satisfaction survey, (a) conduct a root cause analysis as to the cause of such dissatisfaction; (b) develop an action plan to address and improve the level of satisfaction; (c) present such plan to Company for its review, comment and approval; and (d) take action in accordance with the approved plan and as necessary to improve the level of satisfaction. Provider’s action plan developed hereunder shall set forth the specific measures to be taken by Provider and the dates by which each such measure shall be completed. Following implementation of such action plan, Provider shall conduct a follow-up survey with the affected management to confirm that the cause of any dissatisfaction has been addressed and that the level of satisfaction has improved.

In addition to the foregoing prior to Provider using or entering into any agreements to license or use any Third Party Intellectual Property that will be used to provide the Services or create any Work Product, Provider shall provide a copy of such agreement to Company. Provider shall not use any such Intellectual Property, including computer software, to provide the Services unless Company has approved in advance in writing the applicable agreement to license or use such software. Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise approved by Company in writing, any such license for Third Party Intellectual Property shall expressly permit the license to be assigned or sub-licensed to Company without further approval of the licensor.

5. ESTABLISHING ORDERS AND CHANGE CONTROL

5.1 Requests for Change or New Services. Commencing on the Effective Date and from time-to-time during the Term and Termination Assistance Period, Company may (i) request in writing (each, a “Change Request”) that Provider terminate, remove, replace or change a Service or Service Level (a “Change”) or (ii) request that Provider perform a New Service pursuant to an Order as provided in Section 2.3 above. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Change requested by Company may involve (a) the deletion of buildings or facilities from the scope of Services under this Agreement; (b) the augmentation of work and Services to be performed by Provider with respect to one or more Company buildings or facilities; and/or (c) the elimination or modification of one or more Services Categories, Service Levels or scopes of Service. Change Requests and Orders for New Services shall be addressed and implemented in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5, the Change Control Process and, where applicable, Company’s change management requirements. Any actions taken or not taken by Provider in anticipation of execution of this Agreement, any modification, any Order or any Change Request are taken at its sole risk and expense. Any estimate or forecast by Company of services that may be furnished by Provider before or during the Term or Termination Assistance Period does not constitute a commitment of any kind.

5.2 Order Placement for New Services and Acceptance. In the event Company notifies Provider that it intends to proceed with Provider on the basis of a project proposal, Company and Provider shall diligently negotiate in good faith to mutually agree upon an Order. Unless and until the Parties have executed an Order, neither Party shall have any obligations with respect to the services proposed in a project proposal. Provider shall perform Services pursuant to each executed Order issued during the Term and Termination Assistance Period. Each Order shall define the specific scope of Services that Provider shall undertake, as well as any special terms and conditions associated therewith. All Orders issued hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Provider shall promptly execute and return any Order issued by Company and approved by Provider hereunder to evidence Provider’s acceptance of such Order and the terms set forth therein. Without limiting Company’s remedies, Company may withdraw an Order or defer the commencement of performance under such Order and/or the payment of Services Costs thereunder unless and until Provider has executed and delivered a counterpart original of the Order to Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Provider’s acknowledgment, receipt, or commencement of performance of any obligations under an Order is deemed an acceptance of that Order in accordance with the terms contained in that Order and this Agreement.

5.3 Response to Request for New Services. Upon receipt of a request to add a New Service, Provider shall, within ten (10) days or such other longer time as specified in the project request, provide Company with a written proposal for the performance of such additional Service, which proposal shall include: (i) a description of the services, functions and responsibilities to be performed in connection with such additional Service; (ii) a Schedule for commencing performance of such additional Service; (iii) Provider’s prospective Services Costs for such additional Service; (iv) the impact of such additional Service on the calculation of Provider’s Shared Savings and Management Fee at Risk under the applicable Order; and (v) such other information as may be reasonably requested by Company. On the

Confidential 8

request of Company, Provider shall provide Company with any other information that Company may reasonably require to assess the project proposal. Provider shall not begin performing any such additional Service until Company has provided written authorization for such additional Service. In performing additional Services pursuant to a Change, Provider shall perform such Services in a manner that does not adversely impact Company’s business operations.

5.4 Request for Change.

(i) If Company desires to propose a Change Request, it shall deliver a written notice to Provider describing the proposed Change and establishing a reasonable period for Provider to respond. For each proposed Change, Provider shall, within the period of time specified by Company, prepare a written response indicating: (i) the effect of the proposal, if any, on the amounts payable by Company under the relevant Order and this Agreement, and the manner in which such effect was calculated; (ii) the effect of the proposal, if any, on Provider’s performance of the Services, including the effect on Service Levels; (iii) the anticipated time schedule for implementing the Change; and (iv) any other information reasonably necessary for, or requested by, Company to make an informed decision regarding the proposed change.

(ii) If Provider desires to propose a Change, including any Change proposed by Provider by right pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement, it shall deliver a written notice to Company setting forth the information described in the previous sentence. In the event that a Change will result in a Material Change in Provider’s recurring costs in connection with its performance hereunder, Provider and Company shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Service Costs payable hereunder or under the applicable Order to reflect such changed costs.

5.5 Costs. Provider may use Direct Provider Labor to prepare proposals, responses and documentation in connection with proposed Orders and Changes. Each Party shall otherwise bear its own costs in connection with proposals, responses and documentation in connection with any proposed Orders and Changes.

5.6 Effect of Acceptance. No Change shall become effective without the written approval of Company and Provider. If approved by Company and Provider, any such Change shall thereafter be deemed part of Provider’s obligations under this Agreement and the relevant Order. Under no circumstances shall Provider be entitled to payment for any Change in Services that has not been approved by Company in accordance with this Article 5.

5.7 No Obligation. Provider acknowledges that Provider is expected to accomplish the Services on the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement, including the Service Costs agreed to by Provider, and that Company is under no obligation to agree to any Changes requested by Provider except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

5.8 Effect on Service Levels and Key Performance Indicators. In the event that (i) either Party proposes a Change that will affect any Service Level for the Services affected by such Change, (ii) such Change constitutes a Material Change; (iii) Provider identifies the effect of such Change on any applicable Service Level pursuant to Section 5.4, and (iv) Company accepts such Change in writing, then, upon implementation of such Change by Provider, the affected Service Level shall be reduced solely to the extent of the effect of such Change identified by Provider; provided that, (a) the implemented Change shall have no effect on any other Service Levels, and (b) Provider and Company shall cooperate to attempt to restore such affected Service Level through future Changes. Except as provided in the previous sentence, no Change shall have any effect on Provider’s obligation to perform the Services at the Service Levels. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Provider acknowledges and agrees that, unless a Change Request constitutes a Material Change, there shall be no adjustment or modification to any Services Costs (other than Reimbursable Costs), [*] Provider’s Shared Savings metrics, “not to exceed” amount or other incentives under the applicable Order.

5.9 Effect on Services Costs. To the extent that a proposed Change can be accommodated within the existing level of resources then being used by Provider in performing the Services hereunder and those resources are appropriate for the proposed New Service or changed Service without degradation to Provider’s compliance with all applicable performance requirements under this Agreement, the Services Costs payable by Company under this Agreement and the Cost Baseline shall not be increased as a result of such Change.

5.10 Emergency Changes. In the event of an Emergency, Provider shall be permitted to suspend, remove, replace or change a Service (a “Provider Emergency Change”) without Company’s prior written approval to the extent reasonably necessary to deal with such Emergency, provided that (i) Provider exercises reasonable efforts to secure Company’s prior approval of such Provider Emergency Change, (ii) such Provider Emergency Change is necessary to respond to such Emergency, and (iii) Provider gives Company notice of such Provider Emergency Change immediately upon implementing such Provider Emergency Change. Any expenditures proposed to be made by Provider in connection with such Emergency shall be subject to the provisions of Exhibit D (Pricing). Company may, without first complying with the foregoing provisions of this Article 5, require that Provider terminate, remove, replace or change a Service or perform a New Service in the event of any Emergency (a “Company Emergency Change,” and a Provider Emergency Change and a Company Emergency Change may be referred to herein as an “Emergency Change”), and Provider shall implement such Company Emergency Change promptly following Company’s request to Provider. As soon as possible following any Emergency Change, but in any event no later than fourteen (14) days following such Emergency Change, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith any modifications to Services Costs, Provider’s Shared Savings and/or the [*] which are necessitated by such Emergency Change. Provider shall meet the Standard of Care in implementing any Emergency Change, and except as specifically necessary to deal with the Emergency Change nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall operate or be construed to relieve Provider of its obligations to perform, or limit Provider’s liability for the performance of, the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

6. TRANSITION

6.1 Transition Plan. Commencing on the Effective Date, Provider shall plan, prepare for and conduct activities to transition the applicable Services to Provider (the “Transition”).

8.2 BC Principles. The BC Plan shall be sufficient to ensure that Provider is able to continue providing the Services if there is a Disaster (i) affecting Company or (ii) affecting only Provider and not Company. Without detracting from the general principles set forth above, each BC Plan shall:

(i) Provide for the prompt and efficient handling of incidents, disruptions, interruptions or Disasters that impair Provider’s ability to perform the obligations of Provider under this Agreement and the relevant Order;

(ii) Consider the following assumptions in the planning process: single building failure; wide-scale disruption; loss of data center and information systems; loss of critical staff; and the ability to access pre-staged supplies and equipment under most likely circumstances;

(iii) Comply with the BC Policies;

(iv) Provide and replenish supplies and equipment necessary for response and recovery; and

(v) Provide for notification procedures (24X7, 365), including home phone numbers to include key contact information for purposes that the Company can notify/activate Provider’s response.

(i) Procedures whereby Provider shall test the effectiveness of the BC Plan and Provider’s ability to restore the Services, as documented in the BC Plan;

(ii) Procedures whereby Provider shall deliver to Company the appropriate periodic reports confirming Provider’s ongoing compliance with the BC Policies and other Company Policies; and

8.4 Modification of BC Plan. Provider acknowledges that the BC Plan may require modification during the Term or Termination Assistance Period or the term of any relevant Order as a result of changes in law applicable to Company, and/or changes in the BC Policies. Provider shall cooperate with Company and promptly implement such changes in order to permit Company to comply with such changes. If any change is required to a BC Plan as a result of a change in any of the BC Policies, such change will be implemented by Provider through the Change Control Process.

8.5 Compliance and Maintenance of BC Plan. Once a BC Plan is deemed appropriate, Provider shall comply with the requirements set forth in such BC Plan as it relates to this Agreement or the relevant Order. Provider shall maintain the BC Plan throughout the Term or the term of the relevant Order and Termination Assistance Period and implement the relevant BC Plan in accordance with its terms as part of the Services in order to minimize the effect of a Disaster or other incident affecting the provision of the Services to Company.

8.6 Periodic Review. Provider shall periodically review (at least every twelve (12) months) each BC Plan and discuss with Company any such review so as to confirm that it meets Company’s requirements from time to time. Company shall have the option at any time to have the BC Plan reviewed by an independent third party at Company’s cost. The results of such review shall be discussed with Provider and, where appropriate, implemented by Provider.

8.7 Periodic Testing. Provider shall periodically test (at least every twelve (12) months) all recovery strategies and critical systems and infrastructure as identified in the BC Plan. Provider shall discuss and agree to such testing with Company and allow Company the opportunity to participate, observe and monitor the testing. After the testing has been concluded, Provider shall provide Company with a detailed summary of the results applicable to the Services and with an action plan to remedy any inadequacies highlighted by the testing. This may be required to be accomplished through participation in Company-directed exercises (including without limitation call tree, table top or full scale disaster walkthrough exercises).

8.8 Crisis Management Procedures. Provider shall maintain current documented crisis management procedures and shall inform Company immediately upon becoming aware that a Disaster has occurred or is likely to occur. Following the occurrence or knowledge of the likely occurrence of a Disaster, Provider shall immediately invoke its crisis management procedures implementing the BC Plan while fully communicating the status to Company throughout its implementation of the BC Plan.

If acquisition or divestment support will require the use of different or additional resources beyond that which Provider is then using to provide the Services in accordance with the Service Levels, then Provider may request that Company execute an Order with respect to such acquisition or divestment support services and pay Provider’s reasonable incremental costs in accordance with Article 5 above.

Company may elect to have benchmarking conducted in relation to any or all of the Services, including any particular Services Categories, Subcontracts and/or Supply Contracts (a “Benchmark Category”). The Benchmarker shall not be a Provider Competitor. Each Party shall provide cooperation and assistance to facilitate the benchmarking process, including making staff and all relevant information and materials available to the Benchmarker. Provider shall have the right to give input into the selection of the Benchmarker.

10.2 Process. Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, the Benchmarker shall base its assessment on the data from the twelve (12) month period immediately proceeding initiation of the benchmarking process, provided that for Subcontracts and Supply Contracts, the Benchmarker also can take into account the then prevailing market terms and practices for similar types of contracts. The Parties shall ensure that benchmarking exercises are carried out in a way that causes no disturbance to the performance of the Services or to the Company’s underlying business.

10.3 Tasks. For each Benchmark Category that is the subject of benchmarking, the Benchmarker shall perform at least the tasks described below. The Benchmarker may decide in its reasonable discretion how those tasks are to be carried out. The Benchmarker shall:

In conducting the benchmarking, the Benchmarker shall normalize the data used to perform the benchmarking to accommodate, as appropriate, differences in volume of services, scope of services, service levels, financing or payment streams, and other pertinent factors. Each Party shall be provided a reasonable opportunity (but no more than thirty (30) days) to review, comment on and request changes in the Benchmarker’s proposed findings. Within ten (10) days of receiving any comments from the Parties, the Benchmarker shall issue a final report of its findings and conclusions.

Provider shall not be entitled to any increase in Services Costs or any reduction in the Service Levels, scope or standards of the Services in connection with the benchmarking unless otherwise agreed in writing by Company.

10.7 Service Levels. If the benchmarking shows that Provider’s performance of the Services is at a level below Best Practice and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Company, Company shall reasonably assist Provider in determining the causes of the variance, and [*]. The action plan may include, where appropriate, providing additional staffing, increasing levels of training, upgrading equipment and software, introducing new and improved tools and improving processes, and rebidding and/or replacing Subcontracts or Supply Contracts (including, without limitation, any Subcontracts or Supply Contracts that are performed by an Affiliate of Provider). To the extent that the causes of the variance arise as a result of technology decisions reached jointly by the Parties and Provider is using such technology as intended by the Parties, Provider shall not be obliged to mitigate or reduce the variance.

10.8 Termination. If Provider fails to improve deficient Service Levels to meet Best Practices or reduce Services Costs to eliminate any above-market variance in accordance with this Article 10, and without prejudice to any other rights or remedy of Company, Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or all or some of the Services with respect to the deficient or above-market Benchmark Category, and no termination fee or charge shall apply with respect to such termination.

10.9 Market Reviews. Independently from the benchmarking process set forth in this Article 10, Company may, from time to time, at its costs and expense, carry out market review exercises with the objective of assessing whether Company is obtaining the best value in respect of the Services Costs for some or all of the Services. Company, at its cost and expense, may appoint third parties to assist with such market reviews exercises on its behalf.

The foregoing remedy is in addition to Company’s other rights and remedies at law and under this Agreement.

11.6 Obligations of Provider Personnel. Provider shall ensure, at no cost to Company, that all of Provider Personnel who contribute to any Work Product have agreed in advance in writing that such contributions are assigned to Company or Provider.

days notice without termination penalty or charge. Company shall not be obligated to reimburse Provider for any termination penalty or charge incurred by Provider under a Subcontract except to the extent that, prior to entering into such Subcontract, Provider disclosed to and Company agreed in writing to reimburse therefor (any termination fees so agreed by Company, an “Approved Subcontract Termination Fee”). Company shall only be obligated to reimburse Provider for Approved Subcontract Termination Fees to the extent such are actually incurred and paid by Provider. Company shall have the right, at any time, to negotiate and contract directly with any subcontractor for any goods or services, including without limitation those to be provided hereunder, provided that any actual modification of the Services shall be made in accordance with the Change Control Process. If requested by Company, Provider shall promptly provide a copy of any Major Subcontracts or Subcontracts for amounts in excess of $20,000 to Company within ten (10) days after such request.

13.2 Certain Subcontractors. Company shall have the right to pre-approve Subcontractors for Major Subcontracts, and Company may reject such proposed Subcontractors in Company’s good faith business judgment. The Subcontractors listed on Schedule 13 to Exhibit A (Approved Major Subcontracts) are approved for the initial Services indicated on such Schedule, provided that Company may modify such pre-approved list of Subcontractors from time to time with respect to future Subcontracts. Company shall have the right to specify the use by Provider of certain Subcontractors. Such specification by Company shall not (i) create any liability for Company to any Subcontractor or privity of contract between Company and any such Subcontractor, or (ii) relieve Provider of its obligations hereunder or constitute a representation or endorsement by Company that such Subcontractor is qualified or capable to perform. Provider shall not substitute or replace any Subcontractor approved or specified by Company if Company objects in good faith to such substitution or replacement. If (A) Provider determines that Company’s specification of a Subcontractor materially increases the costs of the Services or (B) such Subcontractor does not agree to Subcontract terms and conditions required by this Agreement, then a Change shall be determined in accordance with the Change Control Process set forth in Article 5. Provider’s failure to request a Change prior execution of the applicable Subcontract shall constitute a waiver of any right to seek a modification of the Services Costs or Provider’s Shared Savings payable under this Agreement in connection with the applicable Subcontract.

13.3 Supply Contracts/Equipment Leases. Provider shall identify to Company Supply Contracts that are required to perform the Services in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Order and the Service Levels. Such Supply Contracts shall be entered into by Company or Provider as determined by Company in its reasonable discretion. Company shall have the right to specify the use by Provider of certain Third Party Suppliers. Such specification by Company shall not (i) create any liability for Company to any Third Party Suppliers or privity of contract between Company and any such Supplier unless Company is a party to the applicable Supply Contract, or (ii) relieve Provider of its obligations hereunder or constitute a representation or endorsement by Company that such Supplier is qualified or capable to perform. Provider shall not substitute or replace any Supplier approved or specified by Company if Company objects in good faith to such substitution or replacement. If Provider determines that (i) Company’s specification of a Supplier materially and adversely increases the costs of the Services or (ii) a designated Subcontractor does not agree to Subcontract terms and conditions required by this Agreement, then a Change shall be determined in accordance with the Change Control Process set forth in Article 5. Provider’s failure to request a Change prior execution of the applicable Supply Contract shall constitute a waiver of any right to seek a modification of the Services Costs or Provider’s Shared Savings payable under this Agreement in connection with the applicable Supply Contract. Company shall not be obligated to reimburse Provider for any termination penalty or charge incurred by Provider under a Supply Contract except to the extent that, prior to entering into such Supply Contract, Provider disclosed to and Company agreed in writing to reimburse such (any termination fees so agreed by Company, an “Approved Supply Contract Termination Fee”).

Provider shall provide a notice and, if requested by Company, copy of each Major Supply Contract and other Supply Contract in excess of $20,000 to Company within ten (10) days after execution of such Supply Contract.

With respect to any new Provider Equipment leased by Provider that may be assumed by Company upon termination of this Agreement, (1) Supplier shall structure its leasing arrangements so that the applicable leases may be assigned to Company upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement and so that any ongoing payments under those leases payable by Company after such assignment are consistent with, and no greater than, the payments payable by Provider prior to such assignment, and (2) such leases shall be subject to prior review and approval by Company.

13.4 Supplier Diversity. Company desires to use small business entities that qualify as small (disadvantaged, veteran, service disabled veteran, women owned, and HUBZone) businesses (as defined by the United States Small Business Administration). In recognition thereof, Provider will work to develop additional suppliers, use reasonable efforts to employ qualified vendors and subcontractors where appropriate and feasible in providing the Services. Provider shall keep records of small business subcontracts and shall be able to produce a report, upon Company’s request, of Provider’s small business spend percentages along with any examples of good faith efforts to subcontract with small businesses. Those spend percentages and other requirements are listed in Attachment 2 to Exhibit J (Provider Diversity Plan).

13.5 Assignability. Provider shall structure its arrangements with Subcontractors and Third Party Suppliers that will be primarily dedicated to the performance of the Services so that the relevant contracts may be assigned to Company (or upon Company’s request replaced with a novation of the Subcontract or Supply Agreement between Company and the applicable Subcontractor or Supplier) upon the termination of this Agreement as to the applicable Services covered by such Subcontract or Supply Agreement and so that there are no assignment or termination fees and the ongoing fees under those arrangements payable by Company after such assignment (or novation) are consistent with and no higher than the fees payable by Provider prior to such assignment (or novation). If Provider is not able to accomplish the foregoing after using commercially reasonable efforts, Provider shall notify Company and discuss with Company the consequences (including any impact on the Services and Service Levels) of Provider not being able to use the services from the provider who shall not allow the assignment sought by Company. If, following that discussion, Company directs Provider to not use such services, and Provider is not able to find a suitable work-around, Provider shall be relieved of its obligations under the Agreement to the extent its ability to perform is adversely impacted by the inability to use such third party services.

13.6 Control and Risk. Provider shall properly direct and control Subcontractors and Third Party Suppliers, and inspect Subcontractors’ and Third Party Suppliers’ performance for defects and deficiencies. No agreement between Provider and any Subcontractor or Supplier shall relieve Provider from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement or any Subcontract shall create any contractual relationship, with the exception of the above-mentioned third party beneficiary right, between Company and any Subcontractor including without limitation any obligation on Company’s part to pay, or be responsible for the payment of, any sums to any Subcontractor.

13.7 Affiliates. Provider shall provide Company written notice regarding any Subcontractors or Third Party Suppliers that are Provider’s Affiliates prior to entering into any agreement with an Affiliate in connection with the Services. Any such agreement shall be subject to Company’s prior written consent. Any Subcontract or Supply Contract with an Affiliate that is considered a Reimbursable Cost shall not exceed market prices and shall not result in the payment of any profit to Provider or its Affiliate Subcontractor or Supplier. Company may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cause any Subcontract or Supply Contract that is considered a Reimbursable Cost and that Provider proposes to award to an Affiliate to be competitively bid in accordance with Section 13.13 to bidders that are not Provider’s Affiliates.

13.8 Payments to Subcontractors and Third Party Suppliers. Except to the extent Company has either withheld payment or not timely made a properly invoiced payment with respect to such Subcontractor or

Supplier, Provider shall promptly pay each Subcontractor and Supplier the amount to which such Subcontractor or Supplier is entitled no later than the due date for payment under the applicable Subcontract or Supply Contract unless (i) Provider has a good faith dispute regarding the charges of such Provider Personnel, (ii) the terms of the Subcontract or Supply Contract between Provider and Provider Personnel permit Provider to withhold payment in the event of a good faith dispute and (iii) Provider has not billed Company and been paid by Company for the contested amounts. Provider shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to its own approved sub-subcontractors in a similar manner. Upon request, Provider shall submit to Company copies of all checks and payments to Subcontractors. Should Provider neglect or refuse to cause to be paid promptly any xxxx or charge legitimately incurred by Provider in support of the Services, Company shall have the right, but not the obligation to, pay such xxxx or charge directly, and Provider shall immediately reimburse Company for the same. If Provider does not so reimburse Company, Company may offset the amount of such xxxx or charge pursuant to Section 21.4. With respect to any Subcontracts or Supply Contracts being paid for by Company as Reimbursable Costs or which costs otherwise directly affect the Services Costs, Provider shall exercise reasonable efforts to qualify for early payment, cash and trade discounts, refunds, rebates, credits, and concessions, and Company shall be credited with the full amount of any such discount, commission, or compensation obtained or received by Provider, directly or indirectly, in connection with any such contracts.

Provider shall provide Company with prompt written notice of all actual or potential disputes with Subcontractors and Third Party Suppliers, including, without limitation, breaches, defaults, insolvencies, defects in Subcontractor’s and Supplier’s services, and work stoppages. Such notice shall include the reasons and circumstances giving rise to such disputes in such detail so as to enable Company, in its sole discretion, to exercise any of its rights or remedies against such Subcontractor or Supplier, or to require Provider to obtain Company’s prior written approval of any settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the provisions of this Section 13.9 nor the exercise by Company of any of its rights or remedies shall relieve Provider of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

13.10 Control of Subcontractors and Other Personnel. Provider shall be responsible for (i) [*] management and coordination of the performance of all such Personnel and Affiliates. [*] Subject to Section 13.8 above, Provider shall be responsible for all payments to, and claims by, Provider Personnel and Provider’s Affiliates relating to this Agreement and to the Services performed hereunder.

Provider shall use its best efforts to provide its Personnel adequate supervision, evaluations and feedback, and shall, as appropriate, monitor and evaluate each of Provider’s Personnel’s functioning in the workplace while assigned to work at a Company Facility, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that none of Provider’s Personnel are, either directly or indirectly, supervised by, directed by or controlled by Company Personnel. In the event that Provider or any of its Personnel determine that said Personnel are, either directly or indirectly, being supervised, directed or controlled by Company Personnel, Provider shall immediately notify Company of same and shall take all necessary steps, including, but not limited to, coordinating with Company management Personnel to terminate such supervision, direction or control.

13.14 Labor Management.

Whenever Provider has knowledge of any actual or potential labor dispute or disruption involving Provider’s Personnel that may materially affect the Services or operations of Company or Third Party Suppliers, Provider shall promptly notify Company of such and the Parties shall cooperate to minimize the effect of such dispute or disruption on the provision of Services, Company’s operations and Third Party Suppliers’ performance, whether or not such labor dispute or disruption occurs at a Company Facility.

With respect to Labor Disputes in which Company, one of its Affiliates, or a union with which it or they have a CBA is a target, Provider shall exert its best efforts to continue providing Services.

In addition, if Provider fails to obtain a Provider Required Consent within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date or an Order Effective Date and such failure has a material adverse impact on Company’s receipt of the Services, Company may, upon notice to Provider, terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, as of the termination date specified in the notice, without cost or penalty and without the payment of any termination charges. The failure to obtain any Provider Required Consent shall not relieve Provider of its obligations under the Agreement and Provider shall not be entitled to any additional compensation or reimbursement of any amounts in connection with obtaining or failing to obtain any Provider Required Consent or implementing any alternative approach required by such failure.

The SAS 70 Type II Report shall be Confidential Information of Provider (or the applicable Provider Personnel); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, Company (and Company’s independent auditors) shall be permitted to disclose the SAS 70 Type II Report (or any of the content thereof) to any person, entity or Governmental Authority as necessary for Company to comply with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 or any other Applicable Laws.

Provider may use Direct Provider Labor in complying with the requirements of this Section 15.10.

16. TIMELINES FOR PERFORMANCE

16.1 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement. Execution of this Agreement and any Order shall constitute Provider’s representation and warranty that Provider is fully capable of performing, and will perform the applicable obligations in accordance with the Schedule set forth herein or in each Order. In the event Provider fails to so perform, Company may seek to recover damages, costs and expenses from Provider by reason of such failure of performance.

16.2 Schedule. If applicable to the Services set forth in an Order, Provider shall develop and submit to Company within ten (10) days of each Order Effective Date a detailed schedule for that Order based on Company’s requirements and Provider’s obligations thereunder (a “Schedule”). The Schedule shall indicate the timing of the performance of such obligations, including without limitation commencement, submission of Deliverables, milestones, meeting dates and completion. The Schedule shall include without limitation time for necessary bidding (if any), reviews, revisions, applications to Governmental Authorities, and required approvals. Provider shall not exceed the dates set forth in such Schedule.

16.3 Suspension. Company may, at any time, by written notice to Provider, suspend all or any portion of Provider’s performance hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice, Provider shall do the following, unless the notice requires otherwise:

(i) Immediately discontinue such performance on the date and to the extent specified in the notice;

(ii) Incur no further obligations, including without limitation placement of orders, Subcontracts or Supply Contracts for material, services or facilities, with respect to the suspended performance;

(iii) Promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain suspension or assignment to Company or Company’s designee, upon terms satisfactory to Company, of all obligations, including without limitation orders, Subcontracts or Supply Contracts, to the extent such relate to the performance of such suspended performance;

Suspensions may only be withdrawn by written notice from Company, specifying the effective date and scope of the withdrawal. Provider shall immediately resume performance unless otherwise specified in such notice. If

Confidential 33

Provider believes that an adjustment to the Services Costs or the Schedule hereunder or under an Order is justified as a result of the suspension or withdrawal of suspension, such suspension or withdrawal of suspension shall constitute a Change and Provider shall request such adjustment in accordance with the Change Control Process provisions hereunder. The Annual Budget and Cost Baseline for determining Provider’s Shared Savings shall be equitably modified to take into account any period of suspension hereunder.

16.5 Acceleration of Performance. Provider shall notify Company immediately upon determining that it may be unable to meet the Schedule in whole or in part. Additionally, Company may inform Provider that Company has determined, in its reasonable judgment, that Provider may be unable to meet the Schedule in whole or in part. Within five (5) days of such notice or information, Provider shall submit to Company a proposed action plan to ensure compliance with the Schedule. If Company determines in its reasonable judgment that such action plan will not ensure compliance with the Schedule, Company may direct Provider to take steps necessary to accelerate its performance. If Provider believes that an adjustment to the Services Costs is justified as a result of such acceleration and that such acceleration constitutes a Change, Provider shall request such adjustment in accordance with the Change Control Process. Any incremental costs incurred by Provider as a result of such acceleration shall constitute a Change and shall be subject to the Change Control Process. Except to the extent provided for in any approved Change, Company shall have no liability to Provider for or arising out of the acceleration. If, within a reasonable period as determined by Company, Provider fails (i) to provide an action plan for accelerating and improving performance to meet the Schedule, or (ii) to diligently proceed to accelerate performance in accordance with such action plan, Company may take whatever actions it deems appropriate to meet the Schedule. The reasonable costs of any such actions shall be borne by Provider. No actions taken by Company under this Section 16.5 shall relieve Provider of its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation meeting the Schedule.

16.6 Remedies for Failure to Timely Perform. Provider acknowledges that in the event Provider fails to timely perform under this Agreement, Company will suffer substantial damages, costs and expenses by reason of such failure of performance. The Parties may provide in this Agreement or in any Order for Service Costs credits to apply with respect to Provider’s failure to meet prescribed Schedule requirements, in which event the terms of such Service Costs credit provision shall apply with respect to failure to meet such Schedule requirements. Notwithstanding the availability of Service Costs Credits, Company shall be entitled to enforce any and all remedies available under this Agreement, at law and/or in equity with respect to any failure of Provider to timely perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the recovery of actual damages.

pose hazards to human health or safety of Provider’s or Provider’s Personnel working on the Company Facility given the scope of Provider’s Services to be performed or (ii) significantly affect Provider’s performance hereunder on such Company Facility, if requested in writing by Provider prior to commencement of its performance on such Company Facility, Company shall disclose such pre-existing conditions to Provider. Conditions, including the presence of any hazardous chemical substance, described or referenced in any reports or studies given to or made available to Provider, or in any studies or investigations by Provider, shall be deemed to have been disclosed upon receipt by Provider of such information. If Company provides any such disclosure(s) of pre-existing conditions to Provider, Provider shall fully review and familiarize itself with such disclosure(s) and shall (A) exercise the Standard of Care in dealing with the disclosed pre-existing conditions; (B) conform to, and otherwise not interfere with any existing programs, controls, limitations or activities which are in place as a result of the presence of such substances, and (C) take such steps (and require all contractors to take such steps) in accordance with the Standard of Care, including but not limited to workplace controls, required use of personal protective equipment, or limitations on location and scope of Services to address any hazard to human health or safety.

Additionally, Provider must comply with Company’s chemical release and hazardous and toxic substances disclosure and notification requirements, including those specified in the Chemical Release/Hazardous and Toxic Substances Disclosure Requirements Appendix attached hereto. For Services performed in California or Company’s Facilities, Provider shall comply with the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 and amendments thereto (commonly referred to as “Proposition 65”).

Provider shall maintain records of any inquiries of its Subcontractors, and any responses received from them, and shall make these records available to any individual who inquires about potential exposures. If Provider causes or discovers (i) a reportable release of a hazardous substance or extremely hazardous substance; or (ii) a discharge or release, or potential discharge or release, of a regulated quantity of a listed chemical into a source of drinking water, which includes discharges or releases onto or into land, or into air, so long as the chemical will be deposited directly and immediately into a source of drinking water, then Provider shall immediately stop the activities causing or threatening such discharge or release, prevent or limit human, environmental, or natural resource exposure to the discharge or release, and take reasonable steps to stop any continuing discharge or release. Provider shall immediately notify Company that such a discharge or release has occurred or is threatened.

(iii) In the event that the removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances (other than a Provider Substance Release, as defined below) located on the Company Facility is required under any Applicable Law (a “Company Substance Condition”), then Company shall be responsible for the removal or remediation of such Company

If a hazardous or toxic substance present at the Company Facility prior to the commencement of the Services hereunder or under an Order, or subsequently brought to the Company Facility by Company, is released or otherwise exacerbated as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Provider or Provider’s Personnel, then Company, at Provider’s sole cost and expense, shall cause such hazardous or toxic substance to be removed or otherwise remediated to the Remediation Standard. Provider shall immediately reimburse Company for the costs incurred by Company in performing the remediation described in the preceding sentence. For the purpose of this Agreement, the releases of hazardous substances described in this paragraph individually shall be referred to in this Agreement as, a “Provider Substance Release.” Provider shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all third-party claims arising from or related to a Provider Substance Release and Provider’s failure to perform the removal or remediation of a Provider Substance Release when required by this Section 23.3(iv).
