the Services to the SBC Warburg Division that PSC is obligated
to provide under this EPI Agreement.
(b) Except as expressly permitted by this EPI Agreement, the
Master Agreement (herein so called), executed by SBC and PSC
as of the Adjustment Date, or the Master Operating Agreement,
neither SBC nor the SBC Warburg Division Members will enter
into any agreements with third parties relating to any
products or services for which PSC has
5
responsibility hereunder. SBC agrees that it will not enter

to the CEO's of PSC and SBC who will discuss the issue and negotiate in
good faith to resolve the dispute or controversy. The specific format
for such discussions and negotiations will be left to the CEO's. In the
event that the CEO's do not agree on the individual who shall serve as
the Operational Manager for SBC, then for the first twelve (12) months
during which such disagreement as to the Operational Manager for SBC
continues, PSC shall be deemed to have performed under the terms of
this EPI Agreement each of the Performance Metrics to the extent
necessary so that PSC will be entitled to receive the Annual Profit
Amount on a pro rata basis for each of such twelve (12) months without
adjustment pursuant to Schedule G of this EPI Agreement. Thereafter, so
long as such disagreement continues, and notwithstanding Schedule G
hereto, the Reward Pool will be an amount equal to seven and one half
percent (7.5%) of the Annual Profit Amount and the Penalty Pool will be

SCHEDULE A
PSC SERVICES
The Services included within the Scope of Services collectively make up data
processing services and specifically center on the support of: the entire wide
and local area communication network software and hardware; all data centers and
network, file and data servers; all desktop computer support, office automation
tools (specifically global email design, operation and support), the work to
ensure global connectivity and relatively free-seating capability; customer help
desk for non application specific problems; design, staging, installation and
restacking of an appropriate range of workstation offerings (fixed and
portable); design and support expertise for the inevitably evolving standards of
institutional process automation infrastructure (such as Internet standards and
Web technology).
The Scope of Services does not include services required for the design or
implementation of software packages ("Excluded Software Packages") for
transaction processing, custody, settlement/payments services, pricing tools,
risk control, customer MIS, financial reporting, general ledgers, payment
systems or other applications or business systems. However, the Scope of
Services does include the Services necessary for operating the systems that run
the Excluded Software Packages, to include appropriate monitoring of task
completion, etc. PSC will, within the Scope of Services, facilitate the normal
restack and periodic site relocation (to include the Stamford and Stardust work
contemplated as of the Adjustment Date), though a major relocation project
(excluding the currently configured Stamford and Stardust moves) or the support
of a new geographic office would be outside the Scope of Services and require
additional compensation as described in Schedule F to this EPI Agreement.
Likewise, if there is a substantial increase in the services necessary to
support services in the Scope of Services beyond the level of services as of the
Merger Date, as requested by SBC (for example, such as an increase of more than
7% during any Budget Period or 35% in the aggregate in the number of
workstations (not bandwidth) currently supported by PSC), or if the services are
required to support the SBC Private Banking Division in Switzerland or the SBC
Xxxxxxx Division in Chicago then these additional services would be outside the
Scope of Services and require additional compensation as described in Schedule F
to this EPI Agreement. Additionally, any offices of the SBC Private Banking
Division and the SBC Xxxxxxx Division not serviced on the Merger Date are also
outside the Scope of Services and require additional compensation as described
in Schedule F to the EPI Agreement.

stop performing services which it deems to be outside the Scope of
Services and for which compensation has not been established, in which

discretion, determines to perform such services itself, SBC will pay
PSC for the resources required to provide those services as set out
below.
If PSC and SBC are unable to agree on an amount to be paid for the
required resources, PSC will be relieved of any responsibility for the
services with respect to the required resources and SBC may, in its
sole discretion, perform the services itself; provided, however, that
if SBC desires to have the right to have another third party provide
the services that are not within the Scope of Services, subject to
PSC's final right of refusal in the case that SBC elects to use a third
party, PSC will have a final right of refusal as follows:
(a) SBC will give PSC notice of the services and related resources
that it is proposing be provided by a third party. The notice
will include the amounts that the third party proposes to
charge for those services and related resources.
(b) PSC will be given thirty (30) days to respond to the notice by
notifying SBC whether it desires to provide those services and
related resources and the price it offers to charge for those
services.
(c) Within thirty (30) days of receiving PSC's response, SBC will
grant PSC the right to provide those services and related
resources, unless either the price for such services offered
by PSC is meaningfully worse or SBC in good faith believes
that PSC has not demonstrated proficiency in the area of the
applicable services.
(d) SBC may use a PSC Competitor to provide the applicable
services only if SBC and the PSC Competitor act in good faith
and not with the intent to have the PSC Competitor "buy" the
business and the PSC Competitor charges SBC no less than its
typical retail rates for similar services.
5. [Intentionally omitted]
6. Invoices and Time of Payment. The amounts payable to PSC hereunder will
be invoiced and paid as set out below.
(a) PSC will submit invoices to SBC for each month during the term
of this EPI Agreement. Invoices will be submitted in the name
of any SBC Warburg Division Member and for any location that
is requested by SBC to cover Services delivered in that
location to that SBC Warburg Division Member, in a form that
is acceptable to the taxing authorities in the applicable
location. Each invoice will contain information in a format
and with such detail as is reasonably necessary for SBC to
verify PSC's charges and to allocate PSC's charges among the
appropriate SBC Warburg Division Members. PSC will also
provide an analysis of the charges in a manner consistent with
SBC's reasonable requests from time to time.
F-5
(b) Invoices for the amounts due pursuant to Sections 3(b), 4(b),
5(b) and 6(b) of this Schedule F will be submitted on or
before the first day of each calendar month and will be
payable by the tenth day of that calendar month. Any amount
due PSC hereunder for which a time for payment is not
otherwise specified will be due and payable within thirty (30)
days after receipt by SBC of a PSC invoice therefor. PSC will
submit such invoices on a timely basis promptly after
performing the Services or incurring the expenses that are
being invoiced.
(c) If SBC reasonably disputes any invoice in good faith, as SBC's
sole means of obtaining relief related to the invoice, SBC
must provide to PSC within nine (9) months of receipt of the
invoice concerning such dispute a detailed written reason for
its dispute and will pay to PSC all amounts due on the
invoice, except SBC may withhold a portion of the Annual
Profit Amount having the same ratio to the Annual Profit
Amount invoiced for the month as to which a dispute exists as
the ratio of the amount in dispute to all amounts due to PSC
for the month associated with the PSC Costs being disputed by
SBC. SBC will pay to PSC the PSC Interest Payment for any late
payments and withheld Annual Profit Amounts that are
ultimately determined to be due. PSC will pay to SBC the SBC
Interest Payment for any amounts required to be reimbursed by
PSC to SBC as a result of SBC's payment to PSC of amounts that
are ultimately determined not to have been due.
(d) PSC's monthly invoices will include a pro-rata portion of the
Annual Profit Amount. Adjustment to the Annual Profit Amount
pursuant to Schedule G will be determined by SBC and notified
to PSC in writing in accordance with Section 5(c)(5) of the
EPI Agreement. Payment of any reward amount by SBC will be
made simultaneously with delivery of such notice to PSC.
Credit for any penalty amount will by applied by PSC to the
Monthly Run Rate for the subsequent Budget Period.
(e) SBC will pay PSC the Special Profit Fee on or before May 31,
1997.
7. Currency of Payment. All charges to SBC will be invoiced in the
currency of the country or countries, as the case may be, in which the
PSC Costs related to the charges were incurred, and SBC will pay those
PSC charges in the currency so denominated. Upon the agreement of SBC
and PSC at the beginning of any Budget Period, charges to SBC may be
invoiced in U.S. Dollars. The Annual Profit Amount will be invoiced in
U.S. Dollars.
8. Tax Credit. As a reduction to any amounts billed to SBC under this
Schedule F, PSC will apply a credit equal to the reduction in "Income
Tax" resulting from the use of an "Existing Tax Asset" to the extent
that "SBC Taxable Income" in any jurisdiction enables PSC to "Utilize"
such Existing Tax Asset. For purposes of this Section 8:
F-6
(a) "Income Tax" means the tax liability required to be calculated
under the relevant jurisdiction's income, profits or franchise
tax laws for any tax year.
(b) "Existing Tax Asset" means a net operating loss carryover, as
defined in the relevant jurisdiction's income, profits or
franchise tax laws, that exists at December 31, 1995.
(c) "SBC Taxable Income" means the portion of PSC Group taxable
income before net operating loss carryover as presented on any
PSC Group final tax return for any tax year in any
jurisdiction that PSC allocates to this Agreement, using any
reasonable, good faith method.
(d) "Utilize" means to use the Existing Tax Asset on any PSC Group
final income tax return for any tax year in any jurisdiction,
but only to the extent that the Existing Tax Asset would not
otherwise be offset by non-SBC Taxable Income in the current
tax year or in any subsequent tax years. For these purposes,
an Existing Tax Asset shall not be considered Utilized until a
final determination can be made that the Existing Tax Asset
would have expired unused but for availability of SBC Taxable
Income. In making this determination, non-SBC Taxable Income
shall be applied to the oldest net operating loss carryovers
first. Non-SBC Taxable Income shall mean any PSC Group taxable
income that is not SBC Taxable Income.
9. Audit of Charges. Upon the reasonable request of SBC, PSC will permit
SBC or its designated representatives (who will not be PSC Competitors
or Affiliates of PSC Competitors, other than the reporting auditors of
any SBC Warburg Division Member) access to PSC's books and records to
perform an audit up to four (4) times per Budget Period to the extent
necessary to verify PSC's charges to SBC under this EPI Agreement. SBC
will provide to PSC a copy of the audit report resulting from each such
audit upon its completion. As promptly as practicable thereafter, but
within nine (9) months of the receipt by SBC of the invoice concerning
the disputed cost, SBC must provide notice to PSC of a dispute and the
parties will then review the audit report and work in good faith to
agree upon any reimbursement of charges due to SBC and any appropriate
future adjustments to PSC's charges and practices under this EPI
Agreement. Subject to the delivery of the notice referred to above, if
such audit demonstrates that PSC's invoiced charges for that period
differ from the correct charges for that period, PSC will either (i)
issue a credit to SBC against the next succeeding monthly invoice for
the amount of any overpayments, or (ii) issue an invoice to SBC for any
underpayments, plus in the event of (i) above, interest on the credited
amounts equal to the SBC Interest Rate calculated from the date such
amounts were overpaid, and in the event of (ii) above, interest on the
invoiced amounts equal to the PSC Interest Rate calculated from the
date such amounts should have been paid. If PSC's invoiced charges for
the applicable period exceed the correct charges for that period by
more than ten percent (10%), PSC will pay or reimburse SBC for the
reasonable costs of such audit. In the event PSC reasonably desires to
limit the scope of SBC's audit rights in order to
F-7
protect confidential or proprietary information, the audit will be
conducted by an independent third party auditor mutually acceptable to
PSC and SBC who will verify PSC's charges to SBC for the relevant
period without disclosing any Confidential Information of any member of
the PSC Group to any member of the SBC Group or any other party.

APPENDIX 1
TO
SCHEDULE F
BUDGET AND CAPACITY PLANNING
1. PSC Costs Budget. The PSC Costs Budget will be established for each
Budget Period as follows:
(a) SBC, in consultation with PSC, will determine the estimated
requirements of the SBC Warburg Division during that Budget
Period for the Cost Plus Services (the "Estimated Services").
(b) Following determination of the Estimated Services, PSC, in
consultation with SBC, will establish a proposed budget for
that Budget Period and PSC will submit the proposed budget to
SBC for SBC's written approval. The budget submitted by PSC
will:
(1) Reference the aggregate amount of PSC Costs that PSC
estimates it will incur in connection with providing
the Estimated Services.
(2) Itemize the aggregate PSC Costs by a number and type
of expense categories to be mutually established from
time to time.
(3) Allocate the budget over the total number of months
in that Budget Period (the "Monthly Run Rate") by
considering the month in which the various PSC Costs
will be incurred by PSC and allocate the Annual
Profit Amount on a pro-rata basis.
(4) Take into account providing the Estimated Services in
accordance with any Performance Metrics that may have
been established.
(c) Upon receipt of PSC's proposed budget, SBC will either approve
the budget as submitted or disapprove the budget as submitted
and provide to PSC the aggregate amount of PSC Costs that SBC
will approve for the budget. If SBC does not approve PSC's
proposed budget, PSC and SBC will work together to adjust the
Services and, where applicable, the Performance Metrics, and
to make any other appropriate adjustments, all as necessary to
cause the budget to meet the total PSC Costs that SBC will
approve for the budget.
(d) The final budget (the "PSC Costs Budget"), along with the
Monthly Run Rate, for each Budget Period will be subject to
SBC's final approval and will become the basis for PSC's
determination of its estimated monthly charges to SBC for the
Cost Plus Services.
2. Equipment and Facilities Budget. An Equipment and Facilities Budget
will be established for each Budget Period as follows:
1-F-1
(a) PSC, in consultation with SBC, will establish a proposed
budget for that Budget Period covering the aggregate amount of
equipment and facilities expenditures that PSC estimates SBC
must directly incur in connection with the Services
contemplated by the PSC Costs Budget for that Budget Period
and PSC will submit the proposed budget to SBC for SBC's
written approval. The budget submitted by PSC will:
(1) itemize the aggregate equipment and facilities
expenditures by expense category to be mutually
established from time to time; and
(2) allocate the budget over the total number of months
in that Budget Period (the "Monthly Capital Rate") by
considering the month in which the various equipment
and facilities expenditures will be incurred.
(b) Upon receipt of PSC's proposed budget, SBC will either approve
the budget as submitted or disapprove the budget as submitted
and provide to PSC the aggregate amount of equipment and
facilities expenditures that SBC will approve for the budget.
If SBC does not approve PSC's proposed budget, PSC and SBC
will work together to adjust the PSC Costs Budget, the
Services and, where applicable, the Performance Metrics
reflected in the applicable PSC Costs Budget, and to make any
other appropriate adjustments, all as necessary to cause the
Equipment and Facilities Budget to meet the total equipment
and facilities expenditures that SBC will approve for the
budget.
(c) The final budget (the "Equipment and Facilities Budget") for
each Budget Period will be subject to SBC's final approval.
3. Quarterly Budget Review. At the end of each calendar quarter during a
Budget Period, PSC and SBC will jointly review (i) the Equipment and
Facilities Budget and (ii) the PSC Costs Budget, by comparing the
budgeted Monthly Run Rate and Monthly Capital Rate for that Budget
Period to the actual monthly costs incurred during that Budget Period
for each expense category reflected in the PSC Costs Budget or the
Equipment and Facilities Budget, as applicable. Based upon that review,
SBC may make adjustments to the Monthly Run Rate, the PSC Costs Budget
and the Equipment and Facilities Budget for the remainder of the Budget
Period. Additionally, based upon these quarterly reviews, PSC's charges
to SBC will be adjusted as provided in Section 3 to Schedule F. Either
party may request that adjustments occur more often than quarterly to
take into account significant differences between actual PSC Costs and
the Monthly Run Rate.
4. Changes to Budgets. PSC acknowledges and agrees that SBC may make
changes to the PSC Costs Budget and the Equipment and Facilities Budget
by providing prior notice to PSC. SBC acknowledges and agrees that
changes to either the PSC Costs Budget or the Equipment and Facilities
Budget may result
1-F-2
in changes to the Services and, where applicable, the Performance
Metrics that SBC anticipates PSC will provide during the applicable
Budget Period. Subject to Section 8 of this Appendix, if PSC desires to
make any changes to either the PSC Costs Budget or the Equipment and
Facilities Budget, PSC will first obtain the prior approval of SBC.
5. Additional Equipment. If at any time during the term of this EPI
Agreement, PSC elects to add any Equipment (excluding any personal
computers, modems, printers or other related personal Equipment for use
by PSC personnel) to the SBC Warburg Infrastructure, and the cost of
the Equipment has been included in the Equipment and Facilities Budget
covering the Budget Period in which the Equipment is to be purchased,
PSC may purchase the Equipment, and the cost thereof will be chargeable
to SBC. If the cost of the Equipment has not been included in the
Equipment and Facilities Budget covering the Budget Period in which the
Equipment is to be purchased, PSC will notify SBC of its desire to add
the Equipment to the SBC Warburg Infrastructure and the date by which
PSC desires to order the Equipment, and if SBC consents to the purchase
of the Equipment prior to the desired order date, PSC will purchase the
Equipment on behalf of SBC and SBC will pay PSC therefor in accordance
with this Schedule F. Subject to the foregoing, PSC agrees that it will
abide by any cost approval process of which PSC may receive notice from
SBC from time to time, including the SBC Warburg Central Approval and
Order Process, within a reasonable period of time after receipt
thereof.
6. Use of SBC Warburg Infrastructure. Prior to the use by PSC of the SBC
Warburg Infrastructure for any customer of PSC (other than an SBC
Warburg Division Member), PSC will obtain the consent of SBC based upon
a business case prepared by PSC for SBC's review and approval
specifying (i) any capital investment that will be required from SBC to
obtain any additional resources to provide services to the PSC customer
and, if so, any payments that will be made to SBC in connection with or
attributable to the use of the SBC Warburg Infrastructure, (ii) any
impact on the overall operating expenses of the SBC Warburg
Infrastructure, (iii) any impact the introduction of the third party
customer would have on existing Performance Metrics and (iv) any impact
on PSC's charges to SBC for the Services. PSC shall also satisfy SBC,
in SBC's sole discretion, that adequate security procedures have been
instituted to prevent disclosure of any Confidential Information of SBC
to the third party customer.
7. Operational Plan. PSC, on an annual basis, will update and provide to
SBC a twelve (12) month operational plan for the Services to be
provided by PSC under this Agreement, which will include plans for
reducing PSC Costs and will establish suggested Performance Metrics for
the Services.
8. Assignment of Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Appendix or elsewhere in the EPI Agreement, SBC acknowledges and agrees
that PSC may assign to SBC, and SBC will assume from PSC,
responsibility for paying directly to the applicable third party vendor
any costs that are then included in the PSC Costs. In such event, the
PSC Costs, the PSC Costs Budget, and the Monthly Run Rate will be
decreased to reflect any such
1-F-3
assignment. Notwithstanding any assignment by PSC to SBC of any
third-party costs pursuant to this Section 8, PSC will remain
responsible for continuing to manage the Services to which the assigned
costs are applicable.

Adjustment Date") the Index (the "Applicable Index") is higher
than the Base Index, then, effective as of such Inflation
Adjustment Date the Annual Profit Amount will be an amount
equal to (i) the Base Profit Amount plus (ii) the percentage
by which the Applicable Index exceeds the Base Index as of
such Inflation Adjustment Date multiplied by the Base Profit
Amount.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Appendix 2 to
Schedule F, the Annual Profit Amount will never be less than
