For purposes of this Section 8 (Benchmarking), *. Supplier will provide, as reasonably requested by Gap in order to facilitate a meaningful and effective benchmark analysis, a detailed charge(s) breakdown of the Aggregated Services subject to the benchmark analysis into the elements of *. Additionally, as may be required to normalize the benchmark analysis, the fixed price component of the Annual Services Charge set forth in Table C-1 (Annual Services Charge) shall be allocated on a prorated basis to each of the Aggregated Service(s). Such allocation will be accomplished by dividing the then current Contract Year Charges for the applicable Aggregated Service(s) subject to the benchmark analysis by the total Annual Services Charge for the then current Contract Year to obtain the percentage of the fixed price Annual Services Charge to add to the Aggregated Service(s) in order to establish the then current total price for the Aggregated Service(s) subject to the benchmark analysis. Gap agrees not to duplicate a benchmarking for Aggregated Services within any * period. Gap will select and contract with an independent third party that routinely provides benchmarking as identified on Exhibit D.21 (Approved Benchmarkers) or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties (the “Benchmarker”) to objectively perform such benchmarking.
B. Each Party shall have the right to review the benchmarking procedures to be utilized by the Benchmarker. If and to the extent Gap and Supplier agree on specific directions, processes or methodologies to be provided to or applied by the Benchmarker, the Benchmarker shall be provided such directions and instructed to apply such processes or methodologies.

The Benchmarker shall execute an appropriately protective confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of this Agreement that contains standard non-disclosure agreement protections, provided that Supplier shall have no obligation hereunder to (i) provide the Benchmarker any proprietary information or data relating to Supplier’s agreements with other customers or (ii) disclose to the Benchmarker Supplier’s cost of delivering the Services under this Agreement.
D. The Benchmarker shall have no financial incentive in the outcome of its analysis. The Benchmarker shall compare (using data from a representative sampling of contracts) the quality, resource utilization, and charges of the Aggregated Service(s) against the quality, resource utilization and charges of information technology service providers performing similar services to ensure that Gap is obtaining pricing and levels of service that are competitive with market prices and service levels, given the nature, volume, performance standards and type of Aggregated Service(s) provided by Supplier hereunder (“Benchmarking”). The prices established as a result of the Benchmarking shall be the “Benchmark”. In making this comparison, the Benchmarker shall insure its comparison accounts for vendor financing and other factors including: (i) whether vendor transition-in charges are paid by the customer as incurred or amortized over the term of the agreement; (ii) the extent to which vendor pricing includes the purchase of customer’s existing assets and on what basis; and (iii) the extent to which vendor pricing includes the cost of acquiring future assets. The Benchmarker shall identify such factors considered and the methodology used to account for such factors in its comparison.
8.2 Benchmark Adjustments
A. The Benchmarker shall issue a preliminary written report reflecting its findings. The Parties will review the preliminary benchmark analysis report and provide any comments in writing to the Benchmarker and the other Party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the analysis. The Benchmarker will be instructed to consider any such comments received within such fifteen (15) day period and, after such consideration and making any appropriate adjustments, to issue a final written report. The Benchmarker may accept or reject the comments of either Party in its sole discretion.
B. In the event that the Parties agree to the Benchmark result and Supplier’s prices for the Aggregated Service(s) is priced higher than the Benchmark, then Supplier shall either:
(1) in the event Supplier’s prices for the Aggregated Service(s) exceed the Benchmark by * or less, then Supplier shall reduce its prices for the Aggregated Service(s) down to the * in the next billing cycle. “*” shall mean the amount equal to * over Supplier’s prices for the Aggregated Service(s). For example, if the Benchmark for the Aggregated Services exceeds the then current Supplier Charges for the Aggregated Services by *, then Supplier shall reduce its prices for the Aggregated Services down by *; or
(2) in the event Supplier’s prices for the Aggregated Service(s) exceed the Benchmark by more than *, Supplier shall reduce its prices for the Aggregated Service(s) (i) down by * in the next billing cycle (ii) *. Within * of receiving the

Supplier’s proposal must be accompanied with sufficient detail to demonstrate to Gap what specific pricing metrics will be affected and how and may include discussion of technology architecture issues. The Parties shall structure and support the pricing discussions to proceed rapidly with the objective of completing such discussions within * of the date of receiving the Benchmarking. Failure of the Parties to agree on all pricing adjustments to be implemented within * of the date of receiving the Benchmarking, shall be deemed a rejection of Supplier’s proposal to reduce prices by Gap, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing.
C. Should the Parties agree to adjust pricing as provided herein, such adjustments shall be *.

13. Non-Exclusive Relationship
13.1 Non-Exclusivity
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, this Agreement shall be non-exclusive in nature, and Gap shall at all times have the right to perform any of the Services itself or to contract with a third party to perform any service included in the Services or other obligations of Supplier in this Agreement (“Migrated Service(s)”).

Gap or such third party to the extent related to the Services; (5) to the extent permitted by the applicable third party agreements, access to the Gap IT Environment in connection with such Migrated Service; and (6) such information regarding the operating environment, system constraints and other operating parameters related to the Services as a person with reasonable commercial skills and expertise would find reasonably necessary for Gap or a third party to perform the Migrated Service. Gap shall require any such third party to comply with Supplier’s reasonable requirements regarding operations, confidentiality, and security and Supplier shall not be required to disclose any confidential information other than as necessary to comply with the obligations of this Section, but in no event shall Supplier be required to disclose information of a Supplier customer (other than Gap) or any Supplier cost data.
13.2 Multi-Vendor Environment
Supplier acknowledges that it will be delivering the Services in a multi-vendor environment, with Gap and the Gap Third Party Vendor(s) providing services relating to the Gap IT Environment. Effective operation of such an environment requires not only the cooperation among all service providers, including Supplier, but also collaboration in addressing service-related issues that may cross over from one service area or provider to another and related to the Services (“Cross-Over Issues”). As part of the Services, Supplier will actively provide and support tasks associated with operating and maintaining a collaborative approach to Cross-Over Issues in the same manner as if the Supplier Service relevant to the Cross-Over Issue was being provided in-house by Gap rather than by Supplier.
Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify all work efforts and deliverables of which Supplier has knowledge, whether performed by Supplier, Subcontractors, Supplier Third Party Vendors, Gap, or the Gap Third Party Vendor(s) that may impact the delivery of the Services (the “Service Interdependency”).

Gap Confidential and Proprietary Information
47
16.2 Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey
Every six (6) months during the first four (4) years of the Term and annually thereafter (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties), an independent third party selected by Gap shall conduct a Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey for each Gap Service Location and/or Gap Site. The survey shall, at a minimum, cover at least the following classes of users: (1) sample of end users of the Services and (2) all senior management of Gap. The content, scope, and method of the survey shall be consistent with the baseline Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey conducted pursuant to Section 16.1 (Baseline Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey) and the timing of the above surveys are subject to Gap’s Approval. It is the goal of Supplier to increase Gap Authorized User satisfaction for each class of Gap Authorized Users. The baseline for determining the initial gap shall be the results of the surveys conducted pursuant to Section 16.1 (Baseline Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey). The baseline for determining subsequent gaps will be the results of the Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey compared to the immediately prior Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey. Supplier agrees that increasing measured Gap Authorized User satisfaction shall be a key performance incentive for compensation for key executives assigned to Gap’s account. The costs for all Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Surveys shall be borne solely by Gap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey fails to meet the applicable Service Level, the cost of all surveys following such failure shall be borne solely by Supplier until the Service Level failure has been remedied by Supplier (after a survey Service Level failure is remedied Gap again shall bear the costs of the subsequent survey); provided, however, that the first Gap Authorized User Satisfaction Survey immediately following any Service Level failure shall be conducted no earlier than six (6) months, and no later than seven (7) months, after such failure.

(2) Gap shall pay all amounts that a court finally awards to such third party or that Gap, or as provided herein Supplier, agrees to in settlement with such third party of any such Gap Infringement Claim(s), as well as any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation arising from such Gap Infringement Claim(s) incurred by Supplier or any other party indemnified under this Section 23.4 (Gap’s Proprietary Rights Indemnity) associated with such Gap Infringement Claim and incurred prior to Gap’s assumption of the defense against any Gap Infringement Claim. After Gap assumes the defense against any Gap Infringement Claim in accordance with this Section, Gap shall not be responsible for the payment of expenses or charges incurred by Supplier in connection with such Gap Infringement Claim, except
(a) to the extent Gap pre-approves any such charge or expense after Gap assumes control of the defense of such Gap Infringement Claim, provided such approval by Gap is not to be unreasonably withheld; or
(b) charges or expenses incurred by Supplier in connection with the cooperation by any Supplier employee with Gap’s defense to the extent such cooperation materially disrupts or interferes with the performance of such employee’s job, in which case Gap shall reimburse Supplier for the employee’s actual expenses and time at a rate to be agreed to by the Parties in advance.
B. Continued Right to Use
Supplier also agrees that, if its use of the Gap Infringement Trigger, or any part thereof becomes, or in Gap’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Gap Infringement Claim(s), Supplier will permit Gap, at Gap’s option and expense for all associated costs, either to timely procure the right for Supplier to continue to use the Gap Infringement Trigger, or part thereof, or to timely replace or modify the Gap Infringement Trigger with another item of comparable quality and performance capabilities to become non-infringing, provided such replacement or modification allows Gap to continue meeting its obligations under this Agreement. If such replacement causes an increase in Supplier’s expenditure of time or resources to deliver the Services, the Charges will be equitably adjusted. If Gap is unable, after exercising diligent efforts, to procure the above referenced rights, or modify or replace the Infringement Trigger, Gap may discontinue use of the Infringement Trigger but shall not be excused from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
C. Remedial Acts
In the event (i) Supplier’s ongoing use of the Gap Infringement Trigger, or any part thereof, is the subject of any action by a third party arising from a Gap Infringement Claim that would

preclude or impair Supplier’s use of the Gap Infringement Trigger as provided for under this Agreement, or any part thereof, (e.g., an injunction prohibiting or limiting use), or (ii) if Supplier’s continued use of the Gap Infringement Trigger as provided for under this Agreement, or any part thereof, may subject it to damages or statutory penalties, Supplier shall give prompt written notice to Gap of such fact(s). Upon notice of such facts, Gap shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) procure the right for Supplier to continue to use the Gap Infringement Trigger, or part thereof, or (ii) replace or modify the Gap Infringement Trigger, with another system or components of comparable quality and performance capabilities to become non-infringing. If Gap fails to complete the remedial acts set forth above within sixty (60) days of the date of the written notice from Supplier, and Supplier’s ongoing use of the Gap Infringement Trigger remains impaired, Supplier shall have the right to take such remedial acts that are commercially reasonable to mitigate any impairment of its use of the Gap Infringement Trigger (hereafter referred to as “Supplier’s Remedial Acts”). Gap shall pay Supplier for all documented commercially reasonable amounts paid by Supplier to implement Supplier’s Remedial Acts. Failure by Gap to pay such amounts within forty-five (45) days of invoice by Supplier shall, in addition to, and cumulative to all other remedies available to Supplier under this Agreement, entitle Supplier to exercise the payment escalation rights under Section 27.1 (Invoices and Payments – General).
D. Gap Infringement Exclusions
Gap shall have no obligation under this Section 23 (Authority to License, Quiet Enjoyment, Proprietary Rights and Indemnity) with respect to any Gap Infringement Claim to the extent such Gap Infringement Claim is Finally Determined to be caused by: (i) modifications to the Gap Infringement Trigger, or any part thereof, made by Supplier, its Affiliates, or their respective agents (except as directed, authorized, or approved by Gap); (ii) combination or use of the Gap Infringement Trigger, or any part thereof, with products, data, equipment or software not provided by Gap; (iii) Gap’s compliance with Specifications or written direction provided by Supplier, including Supplier’s business processes; or (iv) use by Supplier of the Gap Infringement Trigger, or any part thereof, after Gap has provided modifications to Supplier (at no cost to Supplier) that would have avoided the allegedly infringing activity ((i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) above are collectively referred to herein as the “Gap Infringement Exclusions”).

(a) Except as set forth in Sections 26.5B(2)(b) and 26.5B(2)(d) below, Gap shall be responsible for the payment of all Service Taxes and new Service Taxes. In the event there is a new Service Tax that is not clearly allocated to Gap or Supplier under this Section 26.5B(2), Gap and Supplier shall work together, in good faith, to reach agreement regarding the responsibility for such new Service Tax. If Gap and Supplier are unable to reach agreement with respect to such new Service Tax, Supplier shall be responsible for and pay the amount of such tax. Supplier shall correctly invoice all applicable taxes at the time of purchase and if necessary, shall reissue any invoice, along with the appropriate tax, if it is determined, subsequent to the actual purchase date, that tax should have applied. Except as provided in Section 26.5B(2)(c)(vi), Supplier shall not provide tax-only invoices.
(b) Supplier shall be responsible for any Service Taxes and new Service Taxes on (i) Equipment or Software, or (ii) real property and/or other tangible or intangible property, in each case as to (i) and (ii), (a) it owns (or leases or rents from a third party) or (b) for which it is financially responsible under the Financial Responsibility Matrix attached as Exhibit C.7 (Financial Responsibility Matrix).

government authority or court of competent jurisdiction, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain on behalf of Gap a refund of any overpayment of such fee or surcharge by Gap.
C. Cooperation; Invoices
The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other to enable each to more accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible. Supplier invoices shall separately state the amounts of any taxes (by taxing jurisdiction) Supplier is properly collecting from Gap pursuant to the terms hereof. Each Party will make available to the other Party 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 the other Party. Specifically, Gap requires the following:
The total amount invoiced for Services will include any and all freight, duty, and taxes, with the exception of the following items, which, if applicable, must be identified and listed separately on Supplier invoice (i) any U.S. state or local sales or use tax imposed on the transaction; and (ii) any value-added taxes, whether based on gross receipts, income, or consumption and regardless of what such value-added taxes might be called, imposed by taxing authorities outside the United States of America (“VAT Taxes”).

Upon curing of the default by Supplier, Gap will cause the withheld payments to be paid to Supplier, without interest. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the amount Gap may withhold at any one time shall not in the aggregate for all disputes exceed an amount equal to Supplier’s fees and charges for the * immediately preceding such withhold (the “Aggregate Withhold Amount”). Gap shall pay to Supplier any disputed fees and charges in excess of the Aggregate Withhold Amount, provided that Gap shall retain any and all rights to contest its obligation to pay to Supplier such fee or charge.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that nothing in the foregoing sentence is intended to waive or restrict Supplier’s express representations, warranties or obligations set forth in this Agreement.
30. Remedy Waiver
This Agreement utilizes a number of “interim remedies” (including service level remedies, dispute resolution processes, payment withholds, and credit assessment mechanisms) to assist the Parties in effectively addressing performance issues that may arise during the Term. Gap deems the various remedies as essential tools to its management of this Agreement. Nevertheless, Supplier’s effective ongoing performance is the critical behavior such remedies are designed to achieve.
Consequently, recognizing that circumstances may arise in which the imposition of the interim remedies as structured may not fairly reflect corrective and other efforts made by Supplier, subject to Section 43 (Waiver), Gap’s Chief Information Officer, may, in such individual’s sole discretion waive, in an individual occurrence, Gap’s right to use, or collect a credit resulting from, such interim remedies. Factors that will be considered by Gap’s Chief Information Officer in assessing whether to waive an interim remedy include: (1) Supplier’s proactive involvement in identifying a problem before operational impacts are manifested; (2) the timing, quality, and accuracy of communications from Supplier relating to a problem; (3) the speed with which corrective actions are taken and the problem is fixed; (4) the quality of Supplier’s root cause analysis and the likelihood that appropriate steps have been taken to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem; (5) the quality of Supplier’s overall performance at the time the remedy right accrues and during the Term; and (6) the impact of other causal factors, including Gap’s actions or inaction relating to the problem.
Any waiver under this Section must be in writing, expressly state that it is a waiver under this Section, and be signed by Gap’s Chief Information Officer and the Gap Infrastructure Partnership Executive.

In the case of Supplier-owned equipment, Supplier shall grant to Gap a warranty of title and a warranty that such Equipment is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Such conveyance by Supplier to Gap shall be at net book value (not to exceed fair market value at the time placed in service) calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles using the depreciation schedule customarily used by Supplier for the applicable type of equipment (including equipment dedicated to Supplier internal use, used at shared Supplier service facilities and dedicated to specific Supplier customers). In the case of leased Equipment, Supplier shall represent and warrant that the lease is not in default and that all payments thereunder have been made through the date of transfer.
E. Supplier shall return to Gap, if not previously returned, all Gap Equipment, in condition at least as good as the condition thereof on the Reference Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

F. Supplier shall inform Gap of Subcontracts or Third Party Vendor contracts primarily dedicated by Supplier, Supplier Subcontractors or Supplier Affiliates to perform the Services. Gap shall retain the right to contract directly with any such Subcontractor or Third Party Vendor. In addition, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Gap with the right to contract directly with any Subcontractor or Third Party Vendor previously utilized by Supplier to perform any Services or to assume Supplier’s contract with such Subcontractor or Third Party Vendor.
G. In the event that Supplier is able to obtain the right for Gap to assume such Subcontracts and Third Party Vendor contracts in accordance with the Subsection (F) above, Supplier shall assign the designated Subcontracts and Third Party Vendor contracts to Gap or its designee as of the expiration or termination date or the completion of any Services associated with such Subcontracts or Third Party Vendor contracts, whichever is later. There shall be no charge or fee imposed by Supplier on Gap related to such assignment and Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize or eliminate any such charges or fees imposed by any Subcontractors or Third Party Vendor. To the extent charges or fees are imposed by any Subcontractors or Third Party Vendor, such costs shall be paid by Gap. Supplier shall (i) represent and warrant that it is not in default of such Subcontracts and Third Party Vendor contracts; (ii) represent and warrant that all payments have been made thereunder through the date of assignment; and (iii) notify Gap of any defaults by Subcontractors or Third Party Vendor contractors with respect to such Subcontracts and Third Party Vendor contracts of which Supplier is then aware. Subject to Supplier’s compliance with the requirements of this subsection, Gap shall represent and warrant to Supplier that, from the date of assumption, it will assume all contractual responsibilities and liability associated with such Subcontracts and Third Party Vendor contract assigned to Gap hereunder.

In Supplier’s provision of access for the foregoing purposes, Supplier shall not be obilgated to provide such access rights to the extent such access would constitute an unlawful invasion of the privacy rights of any Supplier’s, Supplier’s Affiliates’, or Supplier’s Subcontractors’ employees and would, in the reasonable opinion of Supplier, subject Supplier, Supplier’s Affiliates, or Supplier’s Subcontractors to legal liability arising solely as a result of providing such access.

If corrective action is suggested by an auditor or regulatory authority, and mutually agreed to by the Parties in accordance with the preceding sentence as a Supplier responsibility, Supplier shall implement such corrective action (at its cost and expense) within the period of time specified by such auditor or regulatory authority. If, at any time during or after the Term, a Permitted Auditor conducts an audit of Supplier regarding the work performed under this Agreement, and if the results of such audit find that Gap’s dollar liability for any such work is less than payments made by Gap to Supplier for the work that is the subject of the audit then the difference plus the net present value of the difference as incurred calculated using an interest rate equal to * at the time of audit finding (“Cost of Funds”), which amounts shall be either repaid by Supplier to Gap by cash payment upon demand or, at the sole option of Gap, deducted from any amounts due to Supplier from Gap, whether under this Agreement or otherwise. If the results of such audit find that Gap’s dollar liability for

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) Supplier shall be required to pay for the audit up to the amount of the difference, and (2) all amounts of the audit in excess of the difference shall be split equally among the Parties. Supplier shall not be responsible to pay the Cost of Funds as to audits conducted thirty (30) months or more after an overcharge occurred.

Supplier shall perform the SAS 70 Type II audit either (i) on a quarterly basis, or (ii) on an annual basis with quarterly updates throughout the year. Supplier shall provide Gap with an electronic and written copy of the SAS 70 Type II audit opinion within sixty (60) days after the completion of (i) the annual or quarterly SAS 70 Type II audit, and (ii) all updates thereto (if annual audit option is elected by Supplier). Supplier shall retain, in its sole discretion, either PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, Deloitte & Touche or KPMG for purposes of performing the SAS 70 Type II audit under this Section 37.4 (Internal Audits), unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.
If a SAS 70 Type II audit reveals a significant deficiency in Supplier’s implementation of a control specified in Exhibit O (Sarbanes Oxley Reporting Requirements and Process), Supplier shall notify Gap promptly upon being advised of such significant deficiency, provide the audit report to Gap within the time provided above, and within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Supplier of the audit, initiate such corrective action (at its cost and expense) as necessary to remediate the subject control(s) and have the control(s) re-audited and validated by the auditor as functioning effectively.

39.2 Separation
In connection with the sale, transfer, or other disposition of any of Gap’s Affiliates, lines of business, or business units for which Supplier was providing Services at the time of sale, transfer, or other disposition, such successor entity shall be entitled to continue to receive Services under the terms of this Agreement for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months after the closing date of such transaction.

In addition to the Services set forth in Section 34 (Termination/Expiration Assistance Services), as part of such separation, Supplier shall provide Gap with separation support including assessments, transition planning, and migration support.

In the event the Parties reach an agreement, there shall be no early termination or other penalty under the several entities’ existing agreement(s). In the event of an acquisition or merger in accordance with this Section 39.3 (Acquisitions and Mergers by Gap), Supplier shall provide the Services required pursuant to Section 15 (Ongoing Business Divestitures and Acquisitions) of Exhibit A.2 (Cross Functional Services).

Charge adjustments shall be based on * (including *) and related *, and shall be phased in accordance with the Statement of Work as required to pass through to Gap the full benefit of the efficiencies, economies, and savings. An Extraordinary Event shall not result in Charges to Gap being * than such Charges would have been if the * had been applied, unless and to the extent such Extraordinary Event results in New Services (e.g., Gap requires that Supplier create a new infrastructure to support an acquired entity). Gap may, at its sole option, elect at any time to forego its rights under this Section 40 (Extraordinary Events) and instead, apply the *.
41. Use of Reduced Resource Credits

Gap’s use of RRCs arising from its decision to perform Services that are provided by Supplier and included in the Charges, either by itself (“insource”) or through the engagement of a third party (“third source”), shall not exceed in any Contract Year * of the first Contract Year’s total Charges, provided that the RRCs as to voice and data transport Charges shall not exceed in any Contract Year * of the Base Charge for voice and data transport Charges scheduled for that Contract Year in Exhibit C (Fees and Resource Baselines). To the extent RRCs in a single Functional Service Area exceed * of the first Contract Year’s total Charges for that Functional Service Area, Gap will pay for Stranded Assets to the extent the RRCs cause such assets to be unnecessary for Supplier to deliver the Services. RRCs resulting from a business impact as provided in Section 41.1 (Business Impacts) shall be included in the determination of the total RRCs available to Gap in any Contract Year arising from its decision to third source or insource.

42. Amendment of Agreement
No alteration, amendment, or modification of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless in writing and signed by Supplier and Gap.
43. Waiver
All waivers under this Agreement shall be in writing in order to be effective. No waiver by a Party of any breach of this Agreement or waiver of any warranty, representation, or other provision hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach, warranty, representation, or provision (whether preceding or succeeding, and whether or not of the same or similar nature), and no acceptance of performance by a Party after any breach by the other Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or of any representation, warranty, or other provision, whether or not the Party accepting performance knows of such breach at the time of acceptance. No failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right it may have by reason of the default of the other Party shall operate as a waiver of default or modification of this Agreement or shall prevent the exercise of any right of the non-defaulting Party under this Agreement.
44. Independent Contractor
Supplier acknowledges that it is at all times acting as an independent contractor under this Agreement and except as specifically provided herein, not as an agent, employee, or partner of Gap. Each Party agrees to be solely responsible for all matters relating to compensation of its employees, including, compliance with local, state, federal, and foreign laws governing its personnel, including, workers’ compensation, Social Security, withholding and payment of any and all federal, state and local personal income taxes, disability insurance, unemployment, and any other taxes for such persons, including any related employer assessment or contributions required by law, and all other regulations governing such matters, and the payment of all salary, vacation and other employee benefits. At each Party’s expense as described herein, such Party agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other Party, its officers, agents, employees, and successors in interest from and against any claim, action, proceeding, liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including, attorneys’ fees as provided herein paid to a third party arising out of such Party’s alleged failure to pay, when due, all such taxes and obligations (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 44 as “Employment Claim(s)”). The indemnifying Party shall pay to the other Party any and all amounts that a court finally awards to a third party or that Supplier agrees to in settlement with a third party of any such Employment Claim as provided in Section 35.7 (General Indemnity).
45. Subcontractors
45.1 Approval Required
Gap has relied, in entering into this Agreement, on the reputation of, and on obtaining the personal performance of, Supplier itself and Supplier Approved Subcontractors listed in Exhibit D.23 (Subcontractors). Consequently, no performance of this Agreement, or any additional portion thereof, shall be subcontracted by Supplier without the prior written consent of Gap. Any attempt by Supplier to subcontract any performance, obligation, or responsibility under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Gap, shall be null and void and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, Supplier may, in the ordinary course of business, subcontract (i) for third party services or products that are not a material portion of the Services, that are
Gap Confidential and Proprietary Information
101
not exclusively dedicated to Gap and that do not include regular direct contact with Gap or Gap Affiliate personnel or the performance of Services at Gap sites, or (ii) with temporary personnel firms for the provision of temporary contract labor (collectively, “Shared Subcontractors”); provided, that such Shared Subcontractors possess the training and experience, competence and skill to perform the work in a skilled and professional manner. Gap shall have no approval right with respect to such Shared Subcontractors. If, however, Gap expresses dissatisfaction with the services of a Shared Subcontractor, Supplier shall work in good faith to resolve Gap’s concerns on a mutually acceptable basis and, at Gap request, replace such Shared Subcontractor at no additional cost to Gap.
45.2 Request for Approval
If Supplier desires to subcontract any portion of its performance, obligations, or responsibilities under this Agreement, Supplier shall make a written request to Gap for written Approval to enter into the particular subcontract. Supplier’s request to Gap shall include:
(a) The reason(s) for the particular subcontract;
(b) A detailed description of the work to be performed by the proposed Subcontractor;
(c) Identification of the proposed Subcontractor and an explanation of why and how the proposed Subcontractor was selected; and
(d) Any other information reasonably requested by Gap.
45.3 Review of Request
Gap will review Supplier’s request to subcontract and determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether or not to consent to such request on a case-by-case basis.
45.4 Supplier Obligations Remain Unchanged
Supplier shall remain responsible to Gap for any and all performance required under this Agreement by Supplier or its approved Subcontractors, including, the obligation to properly supervise, coordinate, and perform all work required under the Services, and no subcontract shall bind or purport to bind Gap or excuse Supplier of performance. Supplier shall be solely liable and responsible for any and all payments and other compensation to, and the performance of, all Subcontractors and their officers, employees, agents, and independent contractors. All agreements between Supplier and any Subcontractors shall include provisions at least as favorable to Gap as those contained in this Agreement.
45.5 Approval of Subcontractor Personnel/Termination
In the event Gap consents to any subcontracting, such consent shall be subject to Gap’s right to give prior and continuing approval of any and all Subcontractor personnel providing services under such subcontract. Supplier shall assure that any Subcontractor personnel, excluding Shared Subcontractors, not reasonably approved in writing by Gap shall be immediately removed from the provision of any services under the particular subcontract or that other action is taken as requested by Gap.
Gap Confidential and Proprietary Information
102
Further, in the event that Gap consents to any subcontracting, such consent shall be subject to Gap’s right to require the removal of a Subcontractor, in whole or in part, at any time upon written notice to Supplier upon the occurrence of a material breach of this Agreement, provided such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of such notice. Gap shall not be liable or responsible in any way to Supplier, to any Subcontractor, or to any officers, employees, or agents of Supplier or any Subcontractor, for any claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses, including, defense costs and legal, accounting and other expert, consulting or professional fees, in any way arising from or related to Gap’s exercise of such rights.

50. Electronic Transfer of Intellectual Property
Whenever practical, Supplier agrees to deliver Software deliverable under this Agreement including any updates or patches, via download, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or through the use of Supplier’s copy of the tangible software media.

In such event, the non-performing Party is excused from further performance for as long as such circumstances prevail and the Party continues to use its best efforts to recommence performance and mitigate the impact of its non-performance. Any Party so delayed shall promptly notify the other Party and describe the circumstances causing the delay. If an event substantially prevents or delays performance of the Services necessary for the performance of critical Gap functions for more than *, Gap, at its sole discretion, may procure Services from an alternate source, and Supplier shall be liable for payment for such Services.

The existence of a force majeure event shall not relieve Supplier of its obligation to use its best efforts to execute Gap’s business continuity plan and disaster and recovery plan for Gap, or to pursue its best practice processes, including, as to stores, Severity 1 response obligations to restore Gap operations, except to the extent that execution of the business continuity plan, disaster and recovery plan, or operation restoration activity is itself prevented by the force majeure event.

As to * reporting, Supplier shall provide to Gap, as part of Supplier’s * performance reports, a set of accurate hard and soft-copy reports, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parties, to verify Supplier’s performance and compliance with the Peak Critical Service Levels and Peak Service Level Objectives. All such reports shall be provided to Gap on or before the * being reported.
Supplier shall provide detailed supporting information for each report to Gap in machine-readable form suitable for use on a personal computer. The data and detailed supporting information shall be Gap’s Confidential Information, and Gap may access such information online and in real-time, where feasible, at any time during the Term.
4. | SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS |
In the event of a Service Level Default, Gap shall receive credits in the amounts set forth in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix) as to the applicable Critical Service Level.
4.1 | If more than one Service Level Default has occurred in a single reporting period, the sum of the corresponding Service Level Credits shall be credited to Gap, even if the multiple Service Level Defaults occur within the same Performance Category, provided, however, that a single performance failure shall not be double-counted as both a Floor Service Level Default and an Expected Service Level Default for that reporting period. |
4.2 | In no event shall the amount of Service Level Credits credited to Gap with respect to all Service Level Defaults occurring in a single month exceed, in total, the *. |
4.3 | Supplier shall notify Gap in writing if Gap becomes entitled to a Service Level Credit, which notice shall be included in the standard monthly reporting for Critical Service Levels and Service Level Objectives as described in Section 3 (Reporting). The monthly reports shall also describe any failure to meet Service Level Objectives for the month. |
4.4 | Supplier acknowledges and agrees that the credits or other rights and remedies set forth in this Service Level Exhibit shall not be deemed or construed to be liquidated damages or a sole and exclusive remedy, and that all such credits and other rights and remedies are cumulative with all other rights and remedies of Gap. |

Exhibit B | Gap/IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information | Page 2 of 12 |
4.5 | In the event of a Service Level Default, Supplier shall provide Gap credits as defined below: |
Exhibit B.1 (Service Levels Matrix) sets forth the information required to calculate the credits that Supplier shall apply against Monthly Charges in the event of a Service Level Default (“Service Level Credit”). For each Service Level Default, Supplier shall pay to Gap, *, as applicable below, a Service Level Credit that will be computed in accordance with the following formula:
Service Level Credit = *
Where:
*
4.6 | The total amount of Service Level Credits that Supplier will be obligated to pay to Gap, with respect to Service Level Defaults occurring each month (*), shall be reflected on the invoice that contains |
* | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
Exhibit B | Gap/IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information | Page 3 of 12 |
charges for the month following the month in which the Service Level Default(s) giving rise to such credit(s) occurred. For example, the amount of Service Level Credits payable (*) with respect to Service Level Defaults occurring in August shall be set forth in the invoice for the Monthly Charges (as set forth in Exhibit C (Fees and Resource Baseline) to the Agreement) issued in September. Although Service Level Credits shall be shown on each monthly invoice, the credits will be payable to Gap on a * as described in *. |
4.7 | For Service Level Credits that are incurred for performance during *, such amounts as calculated above will be increased by applying *. |
4.8 | Notwithstanding that Service Level Credits for Peak Period will be credited on a * basis, during Peak Period all corrective action steps, including those in Section 12 (Improvement Plan for Service Levels) of this Service Level Exhibit, and Section 7.3 of the Agreement (Root-Cause Analysis and Resolution) shall be initiated upon identification of the Service Level Default. During peak periods, Supplier shall initiate root cause analysis within *, providing preliminary problem assessments, emergency workarounds, and proposed alternatives for permanent fixes where they are available and reporting an updated status with each * report. |
5. | * |
Except as to Service Level Credits for performance during the peak period, which Supplier shall not have * opportunities and will be deemed Unrelieved Service Level Credits, Supplier shall have * opportunities with respect to Service Level Credits as follows:
5.1 | Within * after each Contract Year, Supplier shall * to Gap that will include Supplier’s * in that *. |
5.2 | If, during the preceding Contract Year, Supplier * in effect for such Critical Service Level for that Contract Year, Supplier shall be * any Service Level Credits assessed during the preceding Contract Year for such Critical Service Level. |
5.3 | For each Contract Year, any Service Level Credits for which Supplier is * |
* | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
Exhibit B | Gap/IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information | Page 4 of 12 |
will be considered * for each Contract Year *. The monetary amounts associated with Unrelieved Service Level Credits shall be credited to Gap on the monthly invoice reflecting charges for the first month of the Contract Year immediately following the Contract Year in which such Unrelieved Service Level Credits occurred. |
5.4 | If the Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Term, the foregoing process shall be undertaken with respect to the portion of the Contract Year during which the Agreement was in effect. |
5.5 | The amount of any credits that have accrued, but have not been issued, as of the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be paid to Gap within thirty (30) days of the expiration or termination of this Agreement. |
5.6 | For the avoidance of doubt, the * methodology for sections B.1.6 (1)-(4) and B.1.8 (1) and (2), is based upon attainment of a numeric threshold, pursuant to the formulas set forth in Exhibit B.3 (Service Level Methodology), and not attainment of a percentage threshold. |
6. | PRESUMPTIVE SERVICE LEVELS |
6.1 | Presumptive Service Levels are specified in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix) for various Services. In cases where insufficient data currently exist, to determine the appropriate standard for service, a Measurement Study Period will be used to establish an appropriate standard. Supplier will begin measuring its performance against all Presumptive Service Levels on the agreed upon date following the Initiation Date for a * Measurement Study Period, unless a shorter or longer Measurement Study Period is otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing. Should it be determined that a * Measurement Study Period is not indicative of Gap’s normal business cycle, Gap and Supplier will mutually define another period as the Measurement Study Period. |
6.2 | The Parties shall monitor and analyze Supplier’s performance as against the Presumptive Service Levels prior to the date such Service Levels become Set Service Levels, and such Service Levels shall not apply during such period. |
6.3 | During the agreed upon Measurement Study Period, Supplier will use the tools set forth on Exhibit B.3 (Measuring Tools and Methodologies). Supplier shall bear all costs and expenses associated with such tools (including the maintenance and modification of such tools), as listed in Exhibit D.8 (Existing Agreements) to the Agreement, unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement as a Gap responsibility. |
6.4 | During such period, the Parties shall meet and in good faith discuss the propriety of the Presumptive Service Levels given all relevant factors |
* | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
Exhibit B | Gap/IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information | Page 5 of 12 |
including Gap’s reasonable business needs; performance during such period; applicable industry standards; performance prior to the Initiation Date; non-recurring (or remedied) events responsible for performance degradation prior to and after the Initiation Date; and steps either Party has taken, or could take, to improve Service Level performance. |
6.5 | At the end of the Measurement Study Period, and with the written agreement of the Parties, Presumptive Service Levels will be changed to Set Service Levels. If the * of performance achieved by Supplier during the applicable Measurement Study Period is *, the Set Service Level will be established at the *. For example, if the Presumptive Service Level is *, and Supplier averages * performance during the Measurement Study Period, the Set Service Level shall be established at *. |
6.6 | To the extent that *, such Presumptive Service Levels shall be adjusted as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties and as adjusted shall become a Set Service Level. |
6.7 | If, with respect to any Presumptive Service Level, the Parties do not agree (a) to change a Presumptive Service Level to a Set Service Level pursuant to Section 6.5 above, or (b) on an adjustment thereto during the Measurement Study Period, such Service Level shall become a Set Service Level as provided in Section 9 (Process For Additions and Deletions of Service Levels) below. |
7. | SET SERVICE LEVELS |
7.1 | Set Service Levels shall be identified as a Set Service Level in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix). |
7.2 | Supplier and Gap shall observe and enforce each Service Level identified as a Set Service Level in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix) as of the first day of the second full calendar month of the Term. In addition, for each Service Level identified as a Presumptive Service Level, from and after the first day of the first calendar month following the end of the Measurement Study Period identified in Exhibit B.1 (Service level Matrix), the Presumptive Service Level as it may have been modified prior to such date by mutual written agreement of the Parties, shall become a Set Service Level. Supplier and Gap shall observe and enforce each Service Level as of the first day such Service Level is treated as a Set Service Level under this Section 7 (Set Service Levels). |
* | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
Exhibit B | Gap/IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information | Page 6 of 12 |
8. | ADDITIONS, DELETIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS |
New Performance Categories, Critical Service Levels and Service Level Objectives and assigned Service Level Credits may be added, deleted, substituted, or modified by Gap as specified in this Service Level Exhibit during the Term, provided, Supplier’s total Service Level Credit At Risk Amount is not increased.
Unless otherwise mutually agreed, Gap will send written notice to Supplier at least * prior to the date that additions or deletions to Performance Categories, or additions or deletions to Service Levels are to be effective. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, Gap will send written notice to Supplier at least * prior to the date that the elevation of a Service Level Objective to a Critical Service Level, or modifications to the Service Level Credit allocations for any Critical Service Level(s) are to be effective. In the case of written notice of either additions or deletions to Performance Categories; additions or deletions to Service Levels; the elevation of a Service Level Objective to a Critical Service Level; or modifications to the Service Level Credit allocations for any Critical Service Level(s), *. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the duration of the Transition Period (as detailed in Exhibit D.15 (Transition-In Plan) to the Agreement), Service Level Objectives may be elevated to Critical Service Levels without regard to the * referenced above.
9. | PROCESS FOR ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS OF SERVICE LEVELS |
Gap may add Critical Service Levels, Performance categories, and Service Levels by sending written notice in accordance with Section 8 (Additions, Deletions, Modifications and Notice Requirements).
9.1 | Additions. Gap may add Service Levels in accordance with this Section 9 (Process for Additions and Deletions of Service Levels) by providing written notice in accordance with Section 8 (Additions, Deletions, Modifications and Notice Requirements). Expected Service Levels and Floor Service Level commitments associated with added Service Levels will be computed as follows: |
(a) | Where Gap is elevating a Service Level Objective to Critical Service Level status, the Expected Service Level and Floor Service Level shall be as set forth in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix). |
(b) | In all other situations, where at least * of Supplier-provided service measurements exist for a particular Service that is being provided by Supplier, the Parties agree that the Expected Service Level shall be defined as the average of such service measurements for the * Measurement Study Period and that the Floor Service Level shall be defined as the least-favorable service measurement achieved during the * Measurement Study Period. If the * average equals *%, the Expected Service Level and the Floor Service Level shall be mutually agreed by the Parties. |
* | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
Exhibit B | Gap/IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information | Page 7 of 12 |
(c) | Where no measurements exist or less than * exist for a particular Service that is being provided by Supplier, the Parties shall use best efforts to agree on an Expected Service Level and a Floor Service Level commitment using industry standard measures or Third Party advisory services (for example, Gartner Group, Yankee Group, etc.), or such other process upon which the Parties agree. |
(d) | If measurements must be obtained for a Service Level addition, and the required measurement tool is not listed in Exhibit B.3 (Measuring Tools and Methodologies) such tool will be implemented and the Measurement Study Period will commence when the tool has been obtained, installed and is operational. |
9.2 | Deletions. Gap may delete Critical Service Levels or Service Level Objectives by sending written notice in accordance with Section 8 (Additions, Deletions, Modifications and Notice Requirements). |
9.3 | Impact of Additions and Deletions of Critical Service Levels on Service Level Credit Allocation Percentages. When adding or deleting a Critical Service Level, Gap shall adjust the Service Level Credits so that Supplier’s total Service Level Credit At Risk Amount is not increased. |
Certain of Supplier’s obligations under the Agreement are one-time or periodic obligations to deliver Critical Deliverables. Exhibit B.2 (Critical Deliverables) sets forth the Deliverable Credits that shall be payable by Supplier to Gap in the event Supplier fails to deliver any of the Critical Deliverables (“Deliverable Credits”), within the time period relative to the Initiation Date, specified in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total pool for Deliverable Credits shall not exceed * as set forth in Table C-1 (Annual Services Charge) to Exhibit C (Fees and Resource Baselines). The total amount of Deliverable Credits that Supplier will be obligated to pay to Gap shall be reflected on the invoice that contains charges for each month during which the Deliverable Credits occurred (for example, the amount of Deliverable Credits payable for failure to deliver any Critical Deliverable(s) in August shall be set forth in the invoice for August charges issued in September). Unlike Service Level Credits, Deliverable Credits shall be shown in each monthly invoice as an actual credit to the charges and will not be subject to *.
10. | COMMENCEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS |
The obligations set forth herein shall commence on the Initiation Date or as otherwise specified in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix), referencing “Eff+mos (X).” The numbers used in “Eff+mos (X) are in the format X where “X” represents the number of months after the Initiation Date when Supplier will be responsible to provide measurement data in support of the Critical Service Level and Supplier will be responsible for Service Level Credits for any failures to attain the Critical Service Level.
* | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
Exhibit B | Gap/IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information | Page 8 of 12 |
11. | COOPERATION |
The achievement of the Service Levels by Supplier may require the coordinated, collaborative effort of Supplier with other suppliers and other third parties (“Other Suppliers”) contracted with by Gap. Supplier will provide a single point of contact for the prompt resolution of all Service Level Defaults and all failures to provide high quality Services to Gap, regardless of whether the reason for such Service Level Defaults, or failure to provide high quality outsourcing Services to Gap, was caused by Supplier or Other Suppliers.
12. | IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR SERVICE LEVELS |
If Supplier fails to satisfy any Service Level, Supplier shall provide Gap with a written plan for improving Supplier’s performance to satisfy the Service Level within *, or *, of the failure to meet the Expected Service Level or the Floor Service Level for the Service Level, which plan shall be subject to Gap’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Supplier shall promptly implement such plan once it has been approved by Gap.
13. | MEASURING TOOLS |
As of the Initiation Date, the measuring tools and methodologies set forth in Exhibit B.3 (Measuring Tools and Methodology) represent acceptable measuring tools and methodologies for the Critical Service Levels and Service Level Objectives designated.
If there are any Critical Service Levels for which the measuring tools and methodologies have not been agreed upon by Gap and Supplier, are included in Exhibit B.3 (Measuring Tools and Methodology), and Supplier fails to propose a measuring tool for such Critical Service Level that is acceptable to Gap prior to the date upon which Supplier shall be responsible for Service Level performance and Service Level Credits due for Service Level Default, such failure shall be deemed a Floor Service Level Default for the Critical Service Level until Supplier proposes and implements an acceptable measuring tool.
Tools for new Critical Service Levels will be implemented according to the Change Control Procedures.
If, after the Initiation Date or the implementation of tools for new Critical Service Levels, Supplier desires to use a different measuring tool for a Critical Service Level, Supplier shall provide written notice to Gap, in which event the Parties will reasonably adjust the measurements as necessary to account for any increased or decreased sensitivity in the new measuring tools; provided that, if the Parties cannot agree on the required adjustment, Supplier will continue to use the measuring tool that had been initially agreed to by the Parties.
It is not anticipated that changes in the monitoring tools will drive changes in Service Levels; rather, the need to collect and accurately reflect the performance data should drive the development or change in performance monitoring tools.

14. | SINGLE INCIDENT/MULTIPLE DEFAULTS |
If a single incident results in the failure of Supplier to meet more than one Floor Service Level, *.
15. | CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT - SERVICE LEVELS |
The Parties agree to the concept of continuous improvement and that the Critical Service Levels and Service Level Objectives should be modified during the Term to reflect this concept. To accomplish this, Critical Service Levels and Service Level Objectives will be modified each * period following the commencement of obligations date specific to each Critical Service Level and Service Level Objective as described in Section 9 (Process for Additions and Deletions of Service Levels) and below:
1. | Each Expected Service Level will be reset to the * (for example, 99.6% is higher than 99.4%) at or above the Expected Service Levels achieved during the previous year; provided that, if fewer than * exceeded the Expected Service Level, the Expected Service Level will be reset by taking the *, and dividing the sum of the resulting numbers by *; provided, however, that if such average results in a number lower than the then-current Expected Service Level, the then-current Expected Service Level shall remain unchanged. |
In no event shall any single increase in an Expected Service Level as provided above exceed * (*%) of the difference between one hundred percent (100%) and the then-current Expected Service Level. For example, if the Expected Service Level being adjusted were *%, the maximum increase for that reset would be *% (i.e. from *% to *%).
2. | Each Floor Service Level will be reset by adding to the Floor Service Level being adjusted a sum equal to * (*%) of the difference between one-hundred percent (100%) and the then-current Floor Service Level. |
For example, if the Floor Service Level being adjusted were *%, the increase would be *% (i.e., from *% to *%).
3. | For ease of administration, beginning with the * and continuing with *, the process described in this Section 15 (Continuous Improvement – Service Levels) will be performed as of the *, utilizing the previous * data, replacing the Critical Service Level or Service Level Objective unique dates that were based upon the commencement of obligations dates specific to each Critical Service Level. For purposes of the *, the process described in this Section 15 (Continuous Improvement – Service Levels) will utilize the available information in the *. |

4. | Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Help Desk—Average Speed to Answer Service Level (or such other Service Levels as the Parties may agree in writing), in the event the Parties agree that the cost-benefit of applying these automatic improvement rules are not present, the Parties may, by mutual written agreement, agree not to apply these automatic improvement rules to such Service Level(s) for the *. |
16. | EXCLUSIONS |
16.1 | For purposes of calculating Availability, Scheduled Uptime and Downtime shall not include any period of Downtime that is the result of scheduled time required to perform system maintenance (for example, Preventive Maintenance, system upgrades, etc.), provided that such time has been mutually agreed upon between the Parties and is scheduled so as to minimize the impact to Gap’s business. Supplier shall maintain Availability during such periods to the extent reasonably practicable. |
16.2 | Supplier shall not be responsible for Service Level Credits for a failure to meet any Service Level(s) solely to the extent that such failure is reasonably demonstrated by Supplier to be primarily attributable to any of the following: |
(a) | *. |
(b) | * by Gap and agreed to by the Parties through the Change Control Procedures; provided that Supplier has previously notified Gap in writing as part of such Change Control Procedures that the implementation of such request would result in such failure to meet the Service Level. |
(c) | * |

17. | TERMINATION FOR CHRONIC SERVICE LEVEL DEFAULT |
Upon completion of Transition, in the event that a Chronic Service Level Default is realized, Gap, at its sole discretion, may, by written notice, terminate at its option the affected Functional Service Area, or Functional Service Area Segment and without application of any additional cure period. In the event that Gap elects to pursue this termination right, Gap agrees *, the * procured by Supplier and associated with the terminated Functional Service Area, or segment thereof. For purposes of this Section 17 (Termination for Chronic Service Level Default), * are those * that are * to the support and delivery of Services to Gap. Shared assets on Supplier premises are not included in *.
In order to exercise its termination right under this Section 17 (Termination for Chronic Service Level Default), Gap must notify Supplier in writing of its intention to exercise such right within ninety (90) days following its receipt of the Service Level reporting documentation confirming the Chronic Service Level Default. In the event Gap elects this termination right, such Chronic Service Level Default shall not be used by Gap as a basis for a claim of termination for cause under Section 33.2 (Termination for Cause by Gap) of the Agreement.
Except as expressly provided in this Section 17 (Termination for Chronic Service Level Default), nothing in this Section 17 (Termination for Chronic Service Level Default) precludes Gap from pursuing alternative remedies otherwise available in the Agreement.

Such time periods shall commence on March 1, 2009 for the initial implementation. Since the Agreement stipulates that all Implementation Agreements shall be coterminous with the Agreement with the exception of the initial Implementation Agreement, all other Implementation Agreements will have a term less than one hundred and twenty (120) months. Regardless of the execution date of an Implementation Agreement, the charges under each Implementation Agreement shall be invoiced beginning with the amounts scheduled for month one (1). As a result of being coterminous with the Agreement, any month(s) of an Implementation Agreement not realized shall have the effect of eliminating the charges of the “out months” (i.e., eliminate charges of such Implementation Agreement for month one hundred and twenty (120) first, month one hundred and nineteen (119) next, and so on), so as to make such subsequent Implementation Agreement coterminous with the Agreement.
