Confidential

6.ACCEPTANCE

1.1Where applicable, the Parties shall agree and set out Acceptance Criteria for each Acceptance Item and the rest of this clause 6 shall apply. If no such procedures or criteria are set out, the Services provided under the Agreement shall be deemed .accepted upon receipted delivery to the Customer and the remaining clauses of this clause 6 shall not apply, save that in the case of documentary Deliverables any failure to comply with a requirement that they be clearly and concisely set out with no material errors or omissions shall entitle the Customer to require that they be rectified and redelivered at no additional charge.

1.2The Service Provider must undertake its own internal testing of any Acceptance Item before submitting it to the Customer for acceptance testing.

1.3The Service Provider must provide the Customer with at least seven (7) Business Days' notice prior to submitting any item for acceptance testing.

1.4Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, the Customer shall conduct the acceptance testing promptly after receiving the Acceptance Item and promptly notify the Service Provider whether it accepts, rejects or conditionally accepts the Acceptance Item. The Customer shall promptly issue an Acceptance Certificate if it accepts or conditionally accepts the Acceptance Item.

1.5The Service Provider shall provide all reasonable support to the Customer in relation to conducting the acceptance testing at no additional charge.

1.6If the Service Provider conducts the acceptance testing, the Customer shall be entitled to observe the acceptance testing and shall provide reasonable support to the Service Provider in relation to the conduct of the acceptance testing.

1.7If an Acceptance Item is rejected, the Customer shall provide reasons for such rejection, and the Service Provider, shall remedy the relevant defects at no additional charge and re-submit the Acceptance Item to the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable but in all cases within seven (7) Business Days or such longer period as may be reasonable in the circumstances and as such longer period is stipulated in the applicable Change Control Note.

1.8If an Acceptance Item is rejected a second time, without prejudice to any other rights the Customer may have, the Customer shall have the option to:

1.1.1require the Service Provider to rectify any defects and re-submit the Acceptance Item for acceptance;

1.1.2accept the Acceptance Item subject to an equitable reduction in fees (which shall be at least 10%) and, in this scenario, such Acceptance Item shall be treated as if it were fully accepted; or

Confidential

1.1.3immediately terminate the Service related to the Acceptance Item and any other affected Services for material breach and be refunded all Charges paid under this Agreement in connection with the same provided that all Acceptance Items related to such termination are returned to the Service Provider.

1.9In no circumstances (other than those referred to later in this clause) shall the Customer be deemed to have accepted an Acceptance Item, other than where it is unconditionally accepted and an Acceptance Certificate is issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Customer agrees that if it puts an Acceptance Item into live, productive use without either the prior written consent of the Service Provider or having agreed as part of the original Acceptance Testing approach that the final test is live use or as part of any conditional acceptance that this would happen then it shall be deemed to have accepted the Acceptance Item.

1.10Notwithstanding clause 6.9, the Service Provider may issue an invoice for the relevant Milestone payment if the Customer has not confirmed acceptance or rejection within one month of the due date for acceptance of the Acceptance Item. For the avoidance of doubt, the lack of confirmation of acceptance shall not be ground for the Customer to claim that the invoice has been improperly rendered pursuant to paragraph 3.7 of Schedule 10 (Pricebook, Charging & Invoicing).

1.11If the Customer conditionally accepts an Acceptance Item, it shall notify the Service Provider of the conditions to which the acceptance is subject and the Acceptance Item shall not be fully accepted until such conditions have been met. The Charges related to the relevant Acceptance Item shall be subject to an equitable reduction (which shall be at least 10%), with the balance paid when the defects or backlog of issues have been completed.

The Service Provider shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to include such a Holdback.

1.5The Service Provider acknowledges that any failure to provide a Service to a Performance Standard may have a material adverse impact on the business and operations of the Customer and that, accordingly, it shall:

Part HIMPACT OF A FAILURE TO PERFORM

31.FORCE MAJEURE

1.1Neither Party shall be liable for default or delay in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement:

1.1.1if the default or delay is caused by a ca use beyond the reasonable control of such Party (it being agreed that causes beyond the reasonable control of a Party shall not include strikes or lock outs of its own personnel); and

1.1.2provided the non-performing Party is without fault in causing the default or delay and the default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions (which for these purposes shall include complying with that Party's Disaster Recovery Plan and/or Business Continuity Plan or, if of a higher standard, disaster recovery plans consistent with Good Industry Practice) or circumvented by workarounds.

1.2The non-performing Party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as:

1.1.1the circumstances prevail; and

1.1.2the Party continues to use its best efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay.

1.3A Force Majeure Event shall not relieve the Service Provider of its obligations to supply the Services in conjunction with implementing its Disaster Recovery Plans or Business Continuity Plans, including requiring that essential personnel report to work during an emergency, and any or all personnel work at a contingency location.

1.4In the event that a Force Majeure Event interrupts the provision of one or more Service Towers within the Run Services for in excess of thirty (30) days the Customer may terminate the affected Service Tower( s) or if more than two (2) Service Towers are affected, all of them in whole or in part on the provision of written notice. If the Force Majeure Event interrupts the provision of Change

Confidential

Management Services (or part of them) for in excess of thirty (30) days, the Customer may terminate only the affected Change Management Services-related SOWs in whole or in part on the provision of written notice.

32.STEP IN

1.1If:

1.1.1any default or non-performance by the Service Provider occurs and as a result, the performance of any business critical service is prevented, hindered, degraded or delayed for more than two (2) consecutive days;

1.1.2the Service Provider is excused from the performance of the Services pursuant to a Force Majeure Event;

1.1.3a Regulator requires the Customer to do so; or

1.1.4the circumstances in paragraph 13.1 of Schedule 15 (Exit) occur,

then, without limiting any other rights it may have, the Customer may take control of the part of the Services affected by the Service Provider default or non-performance, or the Force Majeure Event and in the case of clause 32.1.3, the Customer shall take control of the part of the Services affected by the regulatory direction (in each case, "Step In") for a maximum period of two (2) months after which the Customer shall either terminate this Agreement pursuant to any rights to do so hereunder it may have or allow the Service Provider to resume performance of the relevant Service.

1.2In exercising its rights of Step In the Customer may perform any act that the Customer deems reasonably necessary in order to restore the Services (including by engaging a third party service provider) or may direct the Service Provider to procure those Services from a third party supplier provided that the Customer: (i) complies with the Service Provider's reasonable security and confidentiality policies as notified to the Customer; (ii) procures that any third party that it engages signs an Agreed Form NOA, with an obligation to erect "ethical" walls within its own organisation to protect the Service Provider's confidentiality, if the third party stepping in is a competitor of the Service Provider; (iii) does not have unsupervised access to the Service Provider's facilities and shared computing environment; and (iv) does not require the Service Provider to disclose its commercially sensitive information to any third party.

1.3Where a third party supplier is engaged in connection with a Step In, the Service Provider shall be liable for the payment of the difference between the sums that would have been paid to the Service Provider for the provision of those Services and the sums payable to the third party supplier for performing the same for as long as the failure to perform continues (save for where the Step In is a result of a Force Majeure Event), and the Customer shall not be charged for Services that are not provided to the Customer as a result of a Force Majeure Event or the Service Provider's default or non-performance.

Confidential

The Service Provider shall either pay directly or reimburse the Customer for any such third party costs incurred, Such payments made by the Service Provider may be credited against the Charges or paid by way of cheque or direct debit to the Customer, at the Customer's option.

1.4In the event of the Customer exercising its right of StepIn, the Service Provider shall co-operate with the Customer (and its agents or representatives, including any applicable third party supplier) and provide reasonable assistance at no charge to the Customer to restore such Customer function or the Services or any part of them as soon as reasonably possible, including giving the Customer (and its agents or representatives, including any applicable third party services provider) reasonable access to the Service Provider's premises, Equipment, Material and Software, to the extent reasonably necessary for the purpose of restoring such Customer function or the Services or any part of them to the level required under this Agreement.

1.5As soon as reasonably practicable following the restoration of the affected Customer function or the affected part of the Services (meaning that its performance is no longer substantially prevented, hindered, degraded or delayed) to the Customer's reasonable satisfaction or a Regulator lifting its Step In requirement, the Service Provider shall resume the performance of the relevant Services.

1.6Without prejudice to the caps set out in clause 34, nothing in this clause 32 limits the Service Provider's liability to the Customer with respect to any default or non-performance by the Service Provider under this Agreement provided always that the Service Provider shall be relieved of its obligations to deliver the Services affected by any Step In during the period the Customer or any third party supplier has taken over delivery of such Services.

33.ENHANCED CO-OPERATION

1.1Where the Customer requires the right to do so in order to obtain an improved understanding of the Services or to assist the Service Provider to improve its performance (including in particular in the circumstances set out in clause below), the Parties agree that the Customer may nominate a certain number of its employees, agents or contractors (subject; to clause 32.4), to be seconded to the Service Provider or any of its subcontractors ("Consultants") provided that the Parties agree the role and responsibilities of such Consultants and the desired outcomes of involvement. The number of Consultants shall be the minimum reasonably necessary (as determined by the Customer acting reasonably) for the limited purposes described in this clause 33.1 and the Customer agrees to appoint Consultants with a level of seniority appropriate to the tasks they shall be engaged in and to provide the Service Provider with at least five (5) Business Days' notice of its intention to exercise its rights under this clause 33.

Confidential

1.2The circumstances that the Parties agree shall entitle the Customer to invoke its rights under clause 33.1 include where:

1.1.1the Customer is entitled, or has reasonable grounds for believing that it will be entitled, to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part for cause;

1.1.2the Service Provider is not performing any of the services in accordance with the Minimum Service Levels (if any);

1.1.3the Service Provider is or the Customer has reasonable grounds for believing that the Service Provider is reasonably likely to be in material breach of its obligations under the Agreement;

1.1.4the Customer has reasonable grounds to suspect acts of fraud are being committed by the Service Provider, any Sub-contractor or any Service Provider Personnel;

1.1.5the Service Provider causes the Customer to breach its legal or regulatory obligations; or

1.1.6the Service Provider fails to provide the Services in accordance with the Agreement (whether such failure amounts to a material breach of contract or not) and that failure causes, or is in the Customer's opinion likely to cause:

1.1.1.1delay in delivery of the Services that means that the Service Provider will not be able to meet any Key Milestone date;

1.1.1.2the degradation or unavailability of the Services which, in the Customer's opinion, is unlikely to be resolved within a reasonable period of time; or

1.1.1.3the Customer to incur a material loss, liability or cost whether direct or indirect or to suffer any adverse publicity.

1.3No Consultant shall become an employee of the Service Provider, or have a legal entitlement to any benefits conferred by the Service Provider on its employees, as a result of his or her secondment under this clause 33.

1.4A Consultant may not be an employee of any entity who competes with the Service Provider in the field of system integration services unless they .are an employee of the Customer.

1.5The Consultants shall be given full access to all information (other than commercially sensitive information or information related to the Charges) that is available to all relevant Service Provider Personnel and that is related to the performance of the Services that are relevant to the purposes described in clauses 33.1 and 33.2 and shall be able to make suggestions related to any

Confidential

element of the performance of the Services provided that the Consultant: (i) complies with the Service Provider's reasonable security and confidentiality policies as notified to the Consultant; (ii) signs an Agreed Form NDA; and (iii) does not have unsupervised access to the Service Provider's facilities and shared computing environment.

1.6The Service Provider shall not be obliged to follow any suggestions given by the Consultants.

1.7If the Service Provider does follow a suggestion of a Consultant, then the Service Provider shall be fully responsible for all consequences that flow from the suggestion as if it were the Service Provider's own suggestion.

1.8By exercising its right under this clause, the Customer shall not, and shall not be deemed to, assume any obligation to resolve any issue or problem with the Services or relieve the Service Provider of any obligation or liability in relation to that event. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this clause 33.8 shall be construed to limit the Service Provider's obligation to continue to perform the Services in accordance with all applicable Service Levels or Milestone dates.

1.9If the Customer exercises its rights under this clause, the Parties shall carry out a monthly review to agree on whether the secondment shall continue. In any case, a secondment under this clause may be terminated by the Customer at any time by giving written notice to the Service Provider, but shall in any event cease when the secondment has been effective for a continuous period of ninety (90) days (or such longer period as may be agreed between the Parties, such agreement may not be withheld by the Service Provider where clause 33.10 applies), when both of the following conditions are satisfied:

1.1.1the event giving rise to the appointment of the Consultants under this clause has ceased and/or has been resolved or remedied; and

1.1.2the Service Provider has demonstrated to the Customer's reasonable satisfaction that the Service Provider has taken all reasonable measures to ensure that the event giving rise to the appointment of the Consultants shall not reoccur.

1.10Subject to clause 33.11, the Customer shall be responsible for paying the Consultants' reasonable and demonstrable fees for the duration of the secondment, plus any reasonable, actual and demonstrable travel and subsistence costs incurred by the Consultants in relation to their secondment under this clause provided that the salaries of the Consultants are reasonable given their level of seniority and experience and Good Industry Practice ("Consultant Costs").

1.11Notwithstanding clause 33.10, the Parties agree that to the extent that the Customer exercises its rights due to an alleged Service Provider default and it

Confidential

transpires that the Service Provider was in default then the Service Provider shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the Consultant Costs.

1.12The exercise by the Customer of its rights in this clause 33 shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Customer.

1.1.1.2where the breach is in relation to breach of any data security obligations under clause 18, in which case the liability caps in clause 34.6 (in the case of the Service Provider) or 34.7 (in the case of the Customer) shall apply (except to the extent the data security breach is also a breach of clause 26 (Confidentiality) leading to a loss of Confidential Information).

Confidential

1.1.6cost savings that the Customer reasonably anticipated to make by entering into this Agreement (but which have not already been compensated either pursuant to clause 5.3 or 10.1 of this Agreement). Such cost savings shall be calculated as the difference between the baseline costs in the Pricebook (the "Baseline Costs") and the charges for equivalent volumes (calculated by reference to the original baseline volumes in the Pricebook). The following will be excluded from the charges for the purposes of this calculation: (i) any spend on Change Management Services, (ii) any incremental charges arising as a result of a change to the Agreement, and (iii) any additional costs reimbursed pursuant to clause 21.3. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject always to clause 21 (Customer Dependencies), to the extent that a cost saving is enabled by the Service Provider but the Customer does not take the necessary action to realise those savings (having agreed such actions as a Customer Dependency with the Service Provider), then the Service Provider shall have no liability with respect to the failure of the Customer to achieve such cost saving; and

1.1.7in the event that a breach of the Service Provider prevents the Customer from running its business in the normal way, the costs of the remedial action necessary so as to re enable such normal running together with the costs of implementing any temporary work-around.

1.7Subject to clause 34.1 and 34.3, the Customer's total aggregate liability in each Contract Year under or in connection with this Agreement (including all SOWs and Local Agreements) shall not exceed the total amounts paid or payable under the Agreement (including all SOWs and Local Agreements) in the Contract Year in which the claim arises. For the avoidance of doubt, the annual cap that applies to my one claim shall be that of the Contract Year in which the event (or first in a series of events) that gave rise to the claim in question occurs,

The US Customer and the Bermuda Customer and any Customer Group Company that is not a party to this Agreement (including any Local Agreement, SOW or any Data Protection Model Clauses) may only recover its losses directly from the Service Provider if the UK Customer is prohibited by law from doing so. For the purposes of this clause 3,4,10, any losses suffered by any Customer Group Company that is not a party to this Agreement (including any local Agreement, SOW or any Data Protection Model Clauses) will not be treated as being indirect or consequent al in terms of this clause 34 simply because it has been suffered by that Customer Group company and not by a Customer directly.

1.11Nothing in this clause 34 shall relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay all Charges which have been properly incurred under this Agreement.

Confidential

35.INSURANCE

1.1The Service Provider shall maintain at its own cost (and on xxxxx.xx provide evidence to the Customer in the form of a broker's letter) the following insurance policies with an insurer of good standing (subject to clause 35.2) for the term of this Agreement and six (6) years thereafter:
