8 Benchmarking
8.1 Benchmarking Process
A. Commencing *, Gap may initiate a benchmark analysis of (1) *, (2) *, (3) *, and/or (4) *. The benchmark analysis of the Aggregated Services shall include an analysis of the individual IT components set forth in Table C-1.2(a) (Charges by Country Retained) within the applicable Functional Service Area(s). 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-1.2(a) (Charges by Country Retained) 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 Charges for the applicable Aggregated Service(s) subject to the benchmark analysis by the total Annual Services Charge for the then
__________________________
*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.
40
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 use Gartner Inc. for any such benchmarking or such other company 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. Otherwise, the Benchmarker shall be instructed to use its professional judgment as to the appropriate processes and methodologies to be applied.
C. 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) are 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 *
__________________________
*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.
41
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

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)”).

Nothing in the forgoing shall (1) relieve Supplier of any portion of liability Finally Determined by a court to be Supplier’s arising from a breach of contract claim as to such failure to perform (2) preclude Gap from asserting such failure by Supplier to perform an obligation under this Agreement as a basis for Gap to terminate the Agreement for cause if subsequently discovered facts demonstrate the failure was not caused by Gap’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or (3) preclude Gap from asserting such failure by Supplier to perform an obligation under this Agreement as a basis for Gap to terminate the Agreement for cause if Supplier conduct, not caused by Gap’s failure to perform its obligation(s) under this Agreement, contributing to the failure is determined to be one of numerous breaches of its duties or obligations under the Agreement which in the aggregate are material as provided in Section 33.2(iii) (Termination For Cause By Gap).

(2) Supplier shall pay all amounts that a court finally awards to such third party, or that Supplier, as provided in Section 23.5 (Conditions to Indemnity Obligations), agrees to in settlement with such third party of any such Supplier Infringement Claim(s), as well as any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation arising from such Supplier Infringement Claim(s) incurred by Gap or any other party indemnified under this Section 23.3 (Supplier’s Proprietary Rights Indemnity) associated with such Supplier Infringement Claim and incurred prior to Supplier’s assumption of the defense against any Supplier Infringement Claim.

(1) “Income Tax” means any (i) tax on or measured by the net income of a Party (including, without limitation, franchise taxes, gross receipts taxes, taxes on capital or net worth that are imposed as an alternative to a tax based on net or gross income and the Michigan Single Business Tax), or (ii) taxes which are of the nature of excess profits tax, minimum tax on tax preferences, alternative minimum tax, accumulated earnings tax, personal holding company tax, capital gains tax, withholding tax or franchise tax for the privilege of doing business, to the extent such taxes as set forth in (i) and/or (ii) above are imposed on such Party by any federal, state, or local government of or in the United States, any taxing authority of any possession of the United States, or any government of a foreign country, including subdivisions thereof.
(2) “Service Taxes” means all sales, lease, service, value-added, use, personal property, excise, consumption, goods and services, provincial sales, retail sales and other taxes or duties that are assessed on the provision of the Services to Gap as a whole, or on any particular Service received by Gap from Supplier; excluding, however, state and local business and occupation tax, Income Tax and other similar taxes.
B. Taxes
The Parties’ respective responsibilities for taxes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be as follows:
(1) Income Tax.
(a) Each Party shall be responsible for its Income Taxes.
(b) As between Supplier and Gap under this
65
Agreement, (i) Gap shall be responsible for the employment tax withholding, employer payroll taxes, and related reporting responsibilities with respect to its employees and Gap Affiliate employees, and (ii) Supplier shall be responsible for the employment tax withholding, employer payroll taxes, and related reporting responsibilities with respect to its employees, Supplier Affiliate employees, and Supplier Subcontractors.
(2) Service Taxes.
(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).
(c) Prior to agreeing to any Service Tax assessment, Supplier shall work with the Gap Tax Department in order to ensure that the proposed tax assessment is fairly and accurately determined. Supplier shall also ensure that all taxable and nontaxable components are separately stated at the time of purchase, with an adequate description for tax purposes as to the taxable nature of the items purchased. In the event that a Service Tax is assessed on the receipt of any of the Services, the Parties shall work together to segregate the payments under this Agreement into five (5) payment streams on the invoice:
i) those for taxable Services;
ii) those for other nontaxable Services;
iii) those for exempt Services;
iv) in respect of goods, Services, or supplies where Service Tax has already been paid by Gap or Supplier;
v) those for which Supplier functions merely as a payment agent for Gap in receiving goods, supplies, or services (including leasing and licensing arrangements); or
vi) To the extent that the number of taxable transactions subject to a Service Tax assessment exceeds three transactions, Supplier will provide Gap with a detailed electronic summary of any related tax-only invoices based on Gap Tax Department specifications. Such electronic summary shall be in the format set forth in Exhibit C.8.5 (Tax-Only Invoice).
(d) Supplier shall be responsible for all current and any new Service Taxes payable by Supplier on any goods or third party services acquired, used,
66
or consumed by Supplier in providing the Services where such tax is imposed on Supplier’s acquisition or use of such goods or services.
(e) Supplier shall make purchases of goods and services that are delivered or provisioned to Gap on a sale for resale basis, when applicable, so that double taxation of goods and services does not occur.
(f) Except for Federal Universal Service Fund (“USF”) charges, which are included in the Charges, Gap shall be responsible for telecommunication surcharges or user fees imposed by government authorities and mandated by law or regulation that are applicable to end users.
In addition, in the event any such fee or surcharge for which Gap is responsible is or may be subsequently reduced or vacated by the appropriate 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”). In the event that VAT Taxes are imposed, Supplier shall reasonably cooperate with Gap to minimize any adverse effect of such VAT Taxes, including separating the Charges into taxable and non-taxable components. For purposes of VAT invoices, Supplier shall invoice the appropriate Gap entity (such as Gap (Canada) Inc. for Canadian purposes), and shall also include the appropriate vendor registration number on each invoice as required by law.
26.6 Payment Does Not Imply Approval
The making of any payment or payments by Gap, or the receipt thereof by Supplier, shall not imply Approval by Gap of any Services or the waiver of any warranties or requirements of this Agreement.
26.7 Withhold Remedy
A. In addition to, and cumulative of all other remedies in law, at equity and provided under this Agreement or this Section 26.7 (Withhold Remedy), in the event Supplier is in default of a material duty or obligation under this Agreement and it fails to cure the default within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice of default from Gap setting forth with specificity the nature of the default of a material duty or obligation and the requested remedy or cure, Gap may, without waiving any other rights under this Agreement, elect to withhold from the payments due to Supplier under this Agreement during the period beginning with the 16th day after Supplier’s receipt of notice of default, and ending on the date that the default has been cured to the
67
reasonable satisfaction of Gap, but in no event shall the amount of such withhold be greater than the Charges associated with the specific Services which Gap alleged are in default or the Services that Supplier is not providing. 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.
B. If a dispute regarding billing is not resolved in accordance with Section 27.4 (Billing Disputes And Reports) within thirty (30) calendar days and Gap has elected not to pay the disputed amount in accordance with this Section 26.7 (Withhold Remedy), no late payment charges will apply to the disputed amount pending resolution of the claim through the procedures set forth in Section 31 (Internal Dispute Resolution). Upon resolution of the claim, Supplier shall issue to Gap any applicable credit or reinstitute the disputed amount as an amount due within thirty (30) days from the final resolution of the dispute.

27. Invoices and Payments
27.1 General
A. Supplier shall invoice Gap monthly in two separate invoices, one for the baseline Services and the second for the appropriate variable adjustments for the Services that have been provided by Supplier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Supplier shall not invoice Gap, and Gap shall not be obligated to pay, any charges or other invoiced amounts (including pass through expenses) that are not properly invoiced within * after the end of the period in which such charges were incurred (or, in the case of amounts charged by any Transport Services Provider, after the date of Supplier’s receipt of the invoice from the Transport Services Provider), unless a request for an extension is approved in writing by the Gap Infrastructure Partnership Executive within the * window. The fixed charge invoice and the information variable invoice shall be sent by IBM to Gap on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month. The final variable invoice shall be sent by IBM to Gap on or before the last day of each calendar month. Invoices shall be due upon receipt and payable by electronic funds transfer within forty-five (45) days of receipt by Gap. For purposes of calculating the payment due date on the variable invoice, the forty five (45) day period shall commence upon receipt of the information variable invoice Supplier shall be permitted to invoice Gap for the baseline Services forty-five (45) days in advance of the payment date for such invoice. In no event shall Supplier invoicing result in baseline Service amounts being payable prior to the end of the month Services are actually delivered. Supplier shall invoice for the variable charges in the billing period following the billing period in which the actual charges are incurred. If any undisputed amount due Supplier under this Agreement remains unpaid for more than * after the date Gap receives the invoice, then within * of written notice by Supplier, Supplier’s Technical Executive and Gap’s Infrastructure Partnership Executive shall meet regarding the payment of such undisputed amount; if the undisputed amount is not paid within * of Supplier’s initial notice; then Supplier’s Industry Vice President shall meet with Gap’s Chief Information Officer regarding the payment of such undisputed amount within * of Supplier’s initial notice; if the undisputed amount is not paid within * of Supplier’s initial notice; then *. Gap will have the right to set off against amounts owed by Gap under the Agreement any amount Supplier is obligated to pay or credit Gap under the Agreement (included but not limited to Service Level Credits).

27.2 Invoice Summary
Supplier shall render, by means of an electronic file, a single consolidated invoice for all charges incurred each month. If Gap Affiliates are the recipients of the Services, Supplier shall first send an informational invoice to Gap world headquarters for Gap Approval. After such Gap Approval, a separate invoice shall be sent to each Affiliate directly for payment. Such informational invoice shall be conspicuously marked “Information Invoice-Do Not Pay.” For purposes of calculating the payment due date, the forty five (45) day period shall commence upon receipt of the Information Invoice. Except as otherwise directed by Gap in writing, each invoice submitted by Supplier shall be substantially similar to the invoice attached hereto as Exhibit C.8 (Monthly Invoice and Invoice Sample), and shall include a summary section that includes, at minimum, the following information:
(1) Period of time covered by the invoice;
(2) Total invoice amount for Gap and Gap department according to Service type;
(3) Current month payments;
(4) Balance due;
(5) Calculations utilized to establish the charges;

resolved, and the number and types of billing adjustments that are outstanding. Supplier shall insure that all billing debits and credits, including associated taxes, are distributed on the billing reports and the invoice and are shown at the proper hierarchy level. If a billing adjustment is found to exceed *, then Supplier shall notify Gap’s Infrastructure Partnership Executive before processing the billing adjustment to the billing report and the invoice. Supplier shall process all billing adjustments on the reports and invoice. In no event shall a billing adjustment result in a net increase to any Charge invoiced more than * days after the original invoice date for that Charge.
27.4 Billing Disputes And Reports
Supplier and Gap shall exercise good faith efforts to resolve all billing disputes to their mutual satisfaction within thirty (30) calendar days; provided, however, that in the event the billing dispute relates to Services provided to Supplier by a Subcontractor and the obligation to pay for such Service is passed through by Supplier directly to Gap, the aforementioned thirty (30) day period shall commence on the date Gap receives the invoice at issue from Supplier. Gap shall be entitled to withhold amounts in dispute under this Section 27.4 (Billing Disputes and Reports) in accordance with Section 26.7 (Withhold Remedy) without Supplier claiming a default of a material duty or obligation by Gap. A “billing dispute number” will be assigned by Supplier to all billing disputes. The billing dispute number will be used by Supplier and Gap on all correspondence and reports to identify the dispute. Supplier shall provide Gap’s Infrastructure Partnership Executive and agency department(s) with a monthly report of the status of pending billing disputes.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that Supplier’s representations and warranties are set forth throughout this Agreement and are not confined to this Section 29 (Representations, Warranties, and Covenants).
29.17 Warranty Disclaimer
THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT (AND IN ANY IMPLEMENTATION DOCUMENTS ISSUED HEREUNDER) ARE MADE TO, AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF, GAP AND SUPPLIER EXCLUSIVELY AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SUPPLIER MAKES AND GAP RECEIVES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

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.
31. Internal Dispute Resolution
31.1 Intent
The Parties shall resolve their disputes informally to the maximum extent possible. The Parties shall negotiate all matters of joint concern in good faith, with the intention of resolving issues between them in a mutually satisfactory manner. Only disputes within the scope of this
75
Agreement are subject to this Section. However, nothing in this Section shall preclude the Parties from exercising their termination rights pursuant to Section 33 (Termination) following the period specified in Section 31.2 (Informal Resolution). Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees and costs in connection with the internal dispute resolution process; except, to the extent the Parties otherwise agree in writing to incur certain costs to support the internal dispute resolution process, such costs shall be shared equally by the Parties. The Parties agree all statements made in connection with internal dispute resolution efforts shall not be considered admissions or statements against interest by either Party. The Parties further agree that they will not attempt to introduce such statements at any later trial, arbitration, or mediation between the Parties.
31.2 Informal Resolution
If a dispute arises under this Agreement, then within seven (7) Business Days after a written request by either Party, Gap’s Infrastructure Partnership Executive and Supplier Outsourcing Relationship Executive shall promptly confer to resolve the dispute. If these representatives cannot resolve the dispute or either of them determines they are not making progress toward the resolution of the dispute within seven (7) Business Days after their initial conference, then the dispute shall be submitted to the Gap Chief Information Officer and Supplier Industry Vice President, who shall promptly confer to resolve the dispute.
31.3 Fact Finding Report

“Proprietary or Confidential Information” shall mean, with respect to a Party hereto, all information or material that: (i) is either (a) marked “Confidential,” “Restricted,” “Proprietary,” or with some other, similar, marking, (b) known by the Parties to be considered confidential and proprietary, or (c) from all the relevant circumstances should reasonably be assumed (1) to be confidential and proprietary; (2) to give the Disclosing Party a competitive business advantage, or (3) to be detrimental to the interest of the Disclosing Party if disclosed; and (ii) any unpublished information concerning research activities and plans, customers, marketing, business plans, or sales plans, product development or time to market, sales forecasts or results of marketing efforts, pricing or pricing strategies, costs, operational techniques, strategic plans, and unpublished financial information, including information concerning revenues, profits and profit margins will be deemed proprietary and confidential to the Disclosing Party, regardless of whether such information under this subpart (ii) of this Section was disclosed intentionally or unintentionally or marked as “confidential” or “proprietary”. Provided, however, that Proprietary or Confidential Information may also be used as otherwise expressly permitted by license or otherwise in this Agreement.
36.2 Exclusions
Proprietary or Confidential Information will not include any information or material, or any element thereof, whether or not such information or material is Proprietary or Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent any such information or material, or any element thereof:
(a) has previously become or is generally known, unless it has become generally known through a breach of this Agreement or a similar confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement;
86
(b) was already rightfully known to the Party receiving such information (the “Receiving Party”) prior to being disclosed by or obtained from the Party (or its agents or affiliates) disclosing such information (the “Disclosing Party”) as evidenced by written records kept in the ordinary course of business of or by proof of actual use by the Receiving Party;
(c) has been or is hereafter rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third person (other than the Disclosing Party) without restriction or disclosure and without breach of a duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; or
(d) as been independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to Proprietary or Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
It will be presumed that any Proprietary or Confidential Information in a Receiving Party’s possession is not within exceptions (b), (c) or (d) above, and the burden will be upon the Receiving Party to prove otherwise by records and documentation.
36.3 Non-Disclosure and Non-Use
The Parties agree, both during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of * after termination of this Agreement, to hold each other’s Proprietary or Confidential Information in strict confidence; provided, however, that as to any portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, the obligations of this Section will continue for as long as the information continues to constitute a trade secret under applicable law. Each Party recognizes the importance of the other’s Proprietary or Confidential Information. In particular, each Party recognizes and agrees that the Proprietary or Confidential Information of the other is critical to their respective businesses and that neither Party would enter into this Agreement without assurance that such information and the value thereof will be protected as provided in this Section 36 (Confidentiality) and elsewhere in this Agreement. Accordingly, each Party agrees as follows:
(a) The Receiving Party will hold any and all Proprietary or Confidential Information it obtains in accordance with the standards it employs with respect to its own confidential information (but in no event less than a reasonable standard) and will use and permit use of Proprietary or Confidential Information solely for the purposes of this Agreement; and
(b) The Receiving Party may disclose or provide access to its responsible employees, consultants, attorneys and/or subcontractors who have a need to know and may make copies of Proprietary or Confidential Information only to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out its obligations hereunder.
The Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party immediately of any unauthorized disclosure or use, and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party to protect all proprietary rights in and ownership of its Proprietary or Confidential Information.
36.4 Treatment of Gap Data
The Gap Data is and shall remain the property of Gap and Gap shall retain exclusive rights and ownership of the Gap Data. Without limiting any other warranty or obligation specified in this Agreement, and in particular the confidentiality provisions of this Section 36 (Confidentiality), during the Term (and with respect to PHI, as defined below, and personally identifiable employee information, thereafter in perpetuity), Supplier will not gather, store, log, archive, use or otherwise retain (with the exception of Service Level Agreement information and as otherwise required to meet the audit obligations of this Agreement) any Gap Data or protected health information (as such term is defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”)) (“PHI”) in any manner and will not disclose, distribute, sell, share, rent or otherwise transfer any Gap Data to any third party, except as expressly provided in this
__________________________
*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.
87
Agreement or as Supplier may be expressly directed in advance in writing by Gap. Supplier represents, covenants, and warrants that Supplier will use Gap Data and PHI only in compliance with (i) this Agreement, (ii) Gap’s then current privacy policies and (iii) all applicable laws (including but not limited to applicable policies and laws related to spamming, privacy (including HIPAA and the laws implementing the EU Privacy Directive), and consumer protection).
36.5 Compelled Disclosures
To the extent required by applicable law or by lawful order or requirement of a court or governmental authority having competent jurisdiction over the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party may disclose Proprietary or Confidential Information, including Gap Data, in accordance with such law or order or requirement, subject to the following conditions: as soon as possible after becoming aware of such law, order or requirement and prior to disclosing Proprietary or Confidential Information, including Gap Data, pursuant thereto, the Receiving Party will so notify the Disclosing Party in writing and, if possible, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party notice not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the required disclosure. The Receiving Party will use reasonable efforts not to release Proprietary or Confidential Information, including Gap Data, pending the outcome of any measures taken by the Disclosing Party to contest, otherwise oppose or seek to limit such disclosure by the Receiving Party and any subsequent disclosure or use of Proprietary or Confidential Information, including Gap Data, that may result from such disclosure. The Receiving Party will cooperate with and provide assistance to the Disclosing Party regarding such measures. Notwithstanding any such compelled disclosure by the Receiving Party, such compelled disclosure will not otherwise affect the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder with respect to Proprietary or Confidential Information, including Gap Data, so disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that confidentiality requirements herein do not preclude disclosures with regard to tax treatment or tax structure of transactions under this Agreement.
36.6 Return of Proprietary or Confidential Information
On either Party’s written request or upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Receiving Party will promptly:
(a) return or destroy, at requester’s option, all originals and copies of all documents and materials it has received containing requester’s Proprietary or Confidential Information, including Gap or Supplier Data as applicable; and
(b) deliver or destroy, at requester’s option, all originals and copies of all summaries, records, descriptions, modifications, negatives, drawings, adoptions and other documents or materials, whether in writing or in machine-readable form, prepared by Supplier, prepared under its direction, or at its request from the documents and materials referred to in subparagraph (a), and provide a notarized written statement to requester certifying that all documents and materials referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b) have been delivered to requester or destroyed, as requested by requester.
36.7 Solicitation of Gap Customers
During the Term and thereafter in perpetuity, Supplier agrees not to use the Gap Data, whether directly or indirectly, to target or solicit Gap customers and business partners, as such, on behalf of itself or any third party, including, on behalf of entities in direct competition with Gap or commit any other act or assist others to commit any other act which might injure the business of Gap. Supplier agrees that it will not use or sell to others lists containing information obtained in connection with this Agreement about any Gap customers. Nothing contained herein shall preclude Supplier from providing services to any Gap customers or business partners who independently contact Supplier, who are responding to a general solicitation of Supplier, or are contacted by Supplier based on information independently derived by Supplier.
88
36.8 Nonexclusive Equitable Remedy
Each Party acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of Proprietary or Confidential Information, including Gap Data, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder, that any such breach or threatened breach may result in irreparable harm to such Party, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, each Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable and injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of posting any undertaking or bond. Any breach of the confidentiality obligations under this Section 36 (Confidentiality) will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement in the exclusive discretion of the non-breaching Party; such termination to be effective upon written notice to the other Party.
36.9 Residual Knowledge
Provided * the patent rights, copyrights, trademarks or service marks of the Disclosing Party or third parties who have licensed or provided materials to the Disclosing Party, * relating to the Services (collectively, “Residual Knowledge”) retained by an individual without reference, within * of the use of such Residual Knowledge, to any writing, whether written or electronic, and which either Party, individually or jointly, develops or discloses under this Agreement. Proprietary and Confidential Information that the Recipient Party’s personnel deliberately commit to memory *. This Section shall not apply to personally identifiable employment information. Other than as set forth herein, nothing contained in this Section gives * the: (i) * of the Residual Knowledge, (ii) the Disclosing Party’s *, or (iii) the Disclosing Party’s *.
37. Audit, Inspection, and Examination of Records
37.1 Maintenance of Books and Records
Supplier shall maintain accurate and complete financial records of its activities and operations relating to this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Supplier shall also maintain accurate and complete corporate documents, contractual agreements, employment agreements, and all other documents, agreements, and records relating to this Agreement. Supplier shall promptly make available to Gap a summary of the results of any reviews or audits conducted by Supplier, its Affiliates, Subcontractors or their agents or representatives (including internal and external auditors), relating to Supplier’s operating practices and procedures to the extent relevant to the Services or Gap.
37.2 Audits Authorized by Gap
Supplier agrees that Gap, (i) Gap’s governmental regulators, (ii) Gap’s internal auditors, or (iii) Gap’s external auditors which are not direct competitors of Supplier in the IT outsourcing business and have been retained on a non-contingent basis (which such direct competitors shall not be deemed to include the accounting division of accounting firms) (collectively, the “Permitted Auditors”) shall have access to any Supplier Service Locations and Supplier’s Subcontractors’ locations, and any of Supplier’s or Supplier’s Subcontractor’s agents, employees or representatives, and the right to examine and audit such Supplier Service Locations and Supplier’s Subcontractors’ locations, and to examine and audit any and all pertinent documents, records, agreements, transaction, activity, or records relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement for the purpose of: (a) verifying the accuracy of Charges and invoices; (b) cooperating with audits and examinations by Gap’s regulatory authorities; (c) validating performance by Supplier of its obligations as required by this Agreement; (d) reviewing the
__________________________

89
conduct of Supplier operations and procedures; (e) validating compliance with Section 29.11 (Compliance with Laws); (f) validating compliance with Gap’s Policies and Procedures; (g) reserved; (h) assisting Gap with its compliance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Corporate Reform Act; (i) the functionality of the Gap IT Environment; and (j) validating Supplier’s compliance with Supplier’s security obligations under this Agreement. Supplier shall provide to such auditors and agents any assistance they may reasonably require in connection with such audits and inspections. All such material, including, all documents, agreements, financial records, time cards and other employment records shall be kept and maintained by Supplier and Supplier’s contractors and shall be made available to Gap during the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter unless Gap’s written permission is given to dispose of any such material prior to such time. Such audit shall take place two times per year or more frequently in the event Gap finds a material discrepancy on any audit. The Permitted Auditors shall execute a confidentiality agreement with Gap with provisions which allow Gap to comply with its obligations to Supplier hereunder prior to commencing any audit or examination, and shall comply with Supplier’s reasonable security requirements. Except as set forth in Section 37.3 (Audit Settlements) below, Gap shall pay any costs and expenses which are payable to the Permitted Auditors. As necessary to conduct the audit, the Permitted Auditors shall have the right to excerpt, copy, or transcribe any and all pertinent documents, agreements, transaction activity, or records relating to the provision of the Services under this Agreement.
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. Supplier shall provide to Gap, or individuals or entities authorized by Gap, reasonable office facilities at Supplier’s, Supplier’s Affiliate’s, or Supplier’s Subcontractor’s locations adequate for Gap to exercise its rights under this Section. Neither Gap nor its Permitted Auditors shall have access to Supplier’s costs data or to confidential or proprietary information of any of Supplier’s other customers.
Audits will be conducted (1) expeditiously, efficiently, and at reasonable business hours; and (2) upon reasonable prior written notice.
37.3 Audit Settlements
If any audit reveals that Supplier is not in compliance with any generally accepted accounting principle or other requirement of this Agreement, Supplier and Gap shall promptly meet to review the audit report, and shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and effective manner in which to respond to identified deficiencies, and implement changes suggested by the audit at Supplier’s cost and expense. 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 any such work is less than payments made by Gap to Supplier for the work that is the subject of the audit by * or more, then Supplier shall also pay Gap’s reasonable costs of audit associated with discovering such difference as provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) Supplier shall
__________________________

90
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.
37.4 Internal Audits
In addition to the audits authorized by Gap as set forth above, to the extent Supplier performs any assessment or an internally conducted audit of its business and operations to evaluate its compliance with Gap’s Policies and Procedures and/or Supplier’s Service delivery or account management, Supplier shall provide Gap with a written report outlining the results of the audit or assessment.
As of the Second Amended Effective Date, the Services do not require a multi-client SAS 70 Type II audit. If Gap determines that such an audit is required, or the Parties agree to include additional services under this Agreement that do require such an audit, then the Parties shall memorialize the timing, funding, and other relevant matters for such an audit.
38. Bankruptcy and Liquidation
In the event Supplier shall: (1) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, or trustee for all or a substantial part of its assets; (2) commence any case, proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect; (3) have had any such petition or application filed or any such case or proceeding commenced against it in which an order for relief is entered or an adjudication or appointment is made, and which is not dismissed for a period of sixty (60) days or more; (4) take any corporate action indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in any such petition, application, proceeding, or order for relief or the appointment of a custodian, receiver, or trustee for all or substantial part of its assets; or (5) permit any such custodianship, receivership, or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days or more causing Supplier or any third party, including, a trustee in bankruptcy, to be empowered under state or federal law to reject this Agreement or any agreement supplementary hereto, Gap shall have the following rights:
A. In the event of a rejection of this Agreement or any agreement supplementary hereto, Gap shall be permitted to retain and use any back-up or archival copies of the Intellectual Property under this Agreement for the purpose of enabling it to mitigate damages caused to Gap because of the rejection of this Agreement. Gap shall exert reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages by use of such back-up or archival copies.
B. In the event of a rejection of this Agreement or any agreement supplementary hereto, Gap may elect to retain its rights under this Agreement or any agreement supplementary hereto as provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. Upon written request of Gap to, as applicable, Supplier or the bankruptcy trustee or receiver, Supplier or such bankruptcy trustee or receiver shall not interfere with the rights of Gap as provided in this Agreement or in any agreement supplementary hereto to obtain the Source Material(s) from the bankruptcy trustee or from a third-party escrow agent and shall, if requested, cause a copy of such Source Material(s) to be available to Gap.
C. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that in the event of Supplier’s bankruptcy:
(1) any and all property belonging to Gap of any nature whatsoever, including Gap Intellectual Property, Custom Intellectual Property, Gap Data, and Gap Proprietary or Confidential Information, in Supplier’s possession or under Supplier’s control shall not constitute part of Supplier’s estate in bankruptcy under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code; and
(2) in addition to any other rights and remedies of Gap as stated herein, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Gap will have the immediate right to retain and take possession for safekeeping any and all property belonging to Gap of any nature whatsoever,
91
including Gap Intellectual Property, Custom Intellectual Property, Gap Data and Gap Proprietary or Confidential Information, in Supplier’s possession or under Supplier’s control until such time as the trustee or receiver in bankruptcy can provide Gap with adequate assurances and evidence to Gap that all of Gap’s property will be protected from sale, release, inspection, publication or inclusion in any publicly accessible record, document, material or filing. Supplier and Gap agree that without this material provision, Gap would not have entered into this Agreement.
39. Assignment and Merger
39.1 Assignment
Neither Party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, except that Gap may assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement without the approval of Supplier (i) to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Gap; or (ii) to any subsidiary or Affiliate provided, however, with respect to this subsection (ii), Gap remains fully liable for and is not relieved from the full performance of its obligations hereunder (including the obligations accruing after such assignment); or (iii) to any successor in a divestiture, merger, or acquisition of all or substantially all of the shares of Gap. Any assignment by Gap as permitted herein must: (1) be in writing; and (2) contain a written acknowledgement of the assignee that it is accepting all obligations of Gap under this Agreement, and agrees to be bound by and discharge each of the Agreement’s terms, conditions, and obligations as if it were the original Party hereto.
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. Gap will remain liable for all its obligations under the Agreement including, payment of all Charges relating to such entity’s use of the Services and unique one-time charges (such as obtaining additional consents or licenses) resulting from the sale, transfer or other disposition to a third party, which Charges are not otherwise included in Exhibit C (Fees and Resource Baselines). Gap shall be entitled to terminate any or all such Services upon thirty (30) days written notice to Supplier. There shall be no termination fee or penalty to Gap or a successor entity arising from the exercise of Gap’s rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Gap terminates one or more Services provided by Supplier under this Agreement, but not the entire Agreement, Gap shall pay redeployment costs that may be incurred as a result of such termination provided that Supplier provides Gap in advance with a reasonable written identification and estimate of such costs. 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.
39.3 Acquisitions and Mergers by Gap
If Gap acquires, or merges with, an entity contracting for services from Supplier, Supplier and the several entities will negotiate in good faith in an attempt to integrate the service being provided by Supplier to the several entities in order to reach a mutually beneficial agreement for Supplier and the several entities, including, reducing redundancies, increasing efficiencies, and migrating the entities to a unified platform. 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 as specifically required pursuant to the applicable Statements of Work.
40. Reserved
92
41. Use of Reduced Resource Credits
41.1 Reserved
41.2 Third Source and Insource Limits on RRCs
Gap has the right to perform any of the Services itself (“insource”) or to contract with a third party to perform any Service that IBM is now performing. For each Functional Service Area, Gap may reduce the Resource Units to * in Gap’s sole discretion; it being understood that reducing the Resource Units to * does not trigger the obligation to pay any Termination for Convenience Fees. IBM must cooperate with Gap or the third party service provider in handing back the Services as provided in Section 34.
In addition to the specific ARC/RRC terms for various RUs specified in Exhibit C.1.2.a (Charges-by Cnry Retn’d) and Exhibit C Word Doc Section 4.1.A, and Section 6.1, if Gap reduces the Resource Units for a Functional Service Area to *, then Gap shall continue to pay Supplier the following: (i) the appropriate RRC Stub charges for each month for the remainder of the Term, as
specified on Exhibit C, and (ii) the Stranded Costs (excluding actual and substantiated salary, redeployment and severance costs paid for Supplier Personnel during the period they are not re-deployed as a result of such reduction), if any, associated with such Resource Unit. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Supplier shall waive payment of such appropriate RRC charges (i) if Gap pays Supplier for a new Resource Unit (regardless of size) for Supplier to support, or (ii) applies a similar amount of RRC quantities to an ARC for an existing Resource Unit; either of which is memorialized in a Contract Change Request.
If the Annual Service Charge for a Functional Service Area becomes less than * of the agreed Annual Service Charge for that given Contract Year (as established on the Second Amended Effective Date), then Gap shall pay Supplier a “Tower Charge” for such year, calculated as follows: *.
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
__________________________

93
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 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.
94
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.
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.

Supplier shall provide the Maintenance Services for Covered Machines according to the Service Levels set forth in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix) of the Agreement.
Supplier will track, maintain and keep up-to-date the Current Inventory utilizing Supplier’s inventory records to reflect the addition of, the changes to, the relocation of and the removal of Covered Machines to the extent performed by Supplier or, if performed by Gap or a third party on behalf of Gap, to the extent Gap has provided Supplier notice thereof.
The Maintenance Services shall include performance of the tasks and activities described below.
1.1 | On-site Break/Fix Services |
The type of Maintenance Services for which Gap has subscribed hereunder entitles Gap to specify the Priority Response Level it requires for On-site Break/Fix Services on a Service Request by Service Request basis, based on the nature and severity of the reported Problem. Descriptions of the different Priority Response Levels and their respective timeframes for On-site Arrival and Problem Resolution Periods are contained in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix). Gap will specify the Priority Response Level it requires during the Service Request call. If Gap does not specify a Priority Response Level during the Service Request call, Supplier will consider the request to be Urgent (T4/C4).

that Service Call shall be considered a missed SLA for the measurement of Supplier’s compliance with the Service Levels for the affected *.
The Supplier CSR(s) will reload or reconfigure, as necessary, any Software from the appropriate backup media, if available and provided by Gap, to restore the Covered Machine(s) so that it functions in accordance with its Specifications provided that this work is required due to a Covered Machine malfunction.
If requested by the IBM Help Desk the Supplier CSR(s) will stand by on site for up to one hour upon completion of the On-site Break/Fix Service. The CSR will call the IBM Help Desk to verify the successful completion of the On-site Break/Fix Service. Upon receipt of the call from the CSR the help desk will (i) verify successful completion of the On-site Break/Fix Service, or (ii) inform the CSR that the On-site Break/Fix Service has not been successful. If (a) the CSR leaves the Gap site prior to verification of successful completion, or (b) the original Problem reported remained unresolved, and (c) Gap places another Service Request with respect to that Problem, then Supplier will use the same trouble ticket for second and any subsequent Service Requests with respect to the same original Problem on the same Covered Machine and the initial Service Request shall be considered unresolved until the Problem is in fact Resolved.
The Supplier CSR(s) will report to Supplier and to * the device type, model, serial number and Covered Location of any de-installed * Covered Machine and replacement * Covered Machine installed as part of the On-site Break/Fix Service. Supplier will record the actual On-site Arrival Period and Problem Resolution Period in Supplier’s call tracking system, which will electronically communicate that information to IBM’s Help Desk problem management system.
Should Gap select a Third Party Vendor to install store Equipment listed on Exhibit C (Pricing), Supplier will provide break/fix services as described in this SOW; however, if a breakage occurs within * of the installation, Supplier’s service call to repair the Equipment will be billable.

1.3 | Escalation of Service Calls |
For any Service Call in Priority Response Level category Critical - T2/C2 - for which Supplier fails to resolve the problem within the period set forth in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix), the Supplier will provide initial notification to IBM SPOC within * after the failure to resolve the Problem within the allotted period, providing an explanation of the reason for the failure and an estimated time by which the Problem will be resolved, and provide frequent and relevant updates electronically thereafter until the Problem is resolved. (Alternatively, if Supplier has reason to believe that it is likely to fail to resolve the problem within the allotted time, Supplier may place this call before actually failing to resolve the Problem within the allotted time.) For any Service Call in Priority Response Level category Urgent - T4/C4 - for which Supplier fails to resolve the Problem within the period set forth in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix), Supplier will provide electronic updates or phone call starting * of the failure to resolve the Problem within the allotted period to Gap.

Supplier shall determine, acting reasonably, whether a malfunctioning Covered Machine can be repaired properly through the use of repair parts or whether such Covered Machine should be replaced with a functionally equivalent Covered Machine.
Repair parts will be functionally equivalent to, and of at least the same quality as, the part replaced. Supplier may use new or used parts, OEM parts, IBM Branded parts and non-OEM parts which are certified through the certification process noted below. If Gap or Supplier determine that a replacement part does not function in Gap’s operating environment, the Parties will promptly work together to determine root cause of the problem. Supplier will diligently and promptly work with Gap to certify the part, or another new part, in Gap’s operating environment. Gap will diligently and promptly work to certify such new part and will not unreasonably withhold or delay certification. Once the new part is certified by Gap, Supplier will use such certified part to correct the reported Problem. Supplier shall not be measured on such Service Calls for Service Levels calculation, including Service Level Defaults until a work-around is implemented by Gap or a part is certified by Gap. Service Calls by Gap related to these failing parts will not be measured by Supplier for call distribution purposes as defined in Exhibit B.1 (Service Level Matrix). While a part is being identified and or certified, the Parties will promptly work together to determine whether there is a reasonable workaround and, if there is such a workaround, implement it.
Gap will acquire title to the replacement parts or replacement IBM or Non-IBM Branded Machines at the time of exchange and, conversely, as appropriate, Supplier will acquire title to the failing parts or failing IBM or Non-IBM Branded Machines at the time of exchange, provided that before Supplier will acquire title to any such parts or machines, Supplier will perform a drive wipe on storage devices using a mutually agreed process as documented in the Procedures Manual. The replacement item will assume the warranty or Maintenance Service status of the replaced item. Before Supplier exchanges an IBM or Non-IBM Machine or part, Supplier will disconnect peripheral devices prior to the exchange of such Covered Machine or part. Gap will reimburse Supplier, at Supplier’s costs, for replacement

that all such credits and other rights and remedies are cumulative with all other rights and remedies of Gap.
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 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. |

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 Effective 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). Gap shall bear all costs and expenses associated with such tools that it supplies for use under Exhibit B.3 (including the maintenance and modification of such tools). IBM shall bear all costs and expenses associated with tools that it supplies for use under Exhibit B.3, if applicable, (including the maintenance and modification of such tools). |
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 including Gap’s reasonable business needs; performance during such period; applicable industry standards; performance prior to the Effective Date; non-recurring (or remedied) events responsible for performance degradation prior to and after the Effective 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 *. |

Exhibit B Gap / IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information
Second Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement
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. |
6.8 | For 2013-2014 Contract Year, the Parties agree that the Measurement Study Period for Stores Network Service Levels shall begin on the first day of the month that the first Store is converted to the AT&T network regardless of the day in that month that the conversation actually completed. . |
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). 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). |

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), *.
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 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 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. If the * average equals *%, the Expected Service Level shall be mutually agreed by the Parties. |
(c) | Where no measurements exist or less than * exist for a particular Service that is being provided by Supplier, the Parties shall use |
*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
Second Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement
best efforts to agree on an Expected 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. |
10. | COMMENCEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS |
The obligations set forth herein shall commence on the Effective 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 Effective 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 Xxxxx.
00. | 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 for the Service Level, which plan shall be subject to Gap’s
*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
Second Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement
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 Effective 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 an Expected 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 Effective 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 Expected 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
*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
Second Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement
and Service Level Objective as described in Section 9 (Process for Additions and Deletions of Service Levels) and below:
1. | Except as provided in Section 15.4 below, 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. | 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 *. |
3. | 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 *. |
4. | With respect to continuous improvement for Exhibit B.1.2, Stores POS and Store Services Priority Response Calls for the T2/C2, T4/C4, T6/C6 and T9/C9 Service Levels, the Parties agree that each Expected Service Level will be reset to the average of the previous * actual results; 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. |
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 |

Exhibit B Gap / IBM Proprietary and Confidential Information
Second Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement
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) | *: |
(1) *; and
(2) *.
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 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 titles shall be interpreted as Contract Years (beginning March X, 2013 for Year 8, and beginning March 1 for subsequent years), not calendar years, and so on (subject to leap year(s)) through Year 12), expiring February 28, 2018. 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 forty-four (144) 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 forty-four (144) first, month one hundred and forty-three (143) next, and so on), so as to make such subsequent Implementation Agreement coterminous with the Agreement.
