12. Infrastructure. APAR shall provide sufficient computer hardware to perform the services required under this Agreement. Currently, APAR’s standard hardware development configuration for a team of *** EDC professionals (inclusive of all PORTAL Employees) is: (a) *** Sun 450 servers with one level above base configuration (or their IBM/HP equivalent); and (b) *** Sun 250 servers with one level above base configuration (or their IBM/HP equivalent); and (c) reasonably higher-end desktop/workstation configuration (one per APAR employee). APAR will also provide a reasonable software/network configuration for such set-up (from APAR’s Standard Software). This hardware and software infrastructure shall be provided at no additional cost to PORTAL. As the number of EDC professionals increases, APAR will increase the hardware development configuration in a proportionate manner. For example, based on the current standard configuration, a team of *** EDC professionals would be provided (a) *** Sun 450 servers with one level above base configuration (or their IBM/HP equivalent); and (b) *** Sun 250 servers with one level above base configuration (or their IBM/HP equivalent); and (c) reasonably higher-end desktop/workstation configuration (one per APAR employee).

*** Confidential Treatment Requested
PORTAL shall provide to APAR the environment of Distributed ClearCase Licenses at no additional cost to APAR.
APAR shall provide a 256KBPS dedicated IPLC Link connection between Bangalore, India and one PORTAL U.S. development office, *** to PORTAL.
13. BOT Model; Transfer Pricing. The Portal-India-EDC shall be established on the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model of operation. PORTAL can exercise the Transfer option at any time after [24] months. This means that, after completion of [24] months of continuous operation of the EDC, PORTAL may initiate discussions with APAR on the potential transfer of the Portal-India-EDC to Portal-India. Such discussions shall include Apar’s Chief Executive Officer, Development Organization, Finance Department, General Counsel, Human Resources Department, and Administrative and Operations Offices.
It is estimated that the planning and preparation phase for the physical transfer of the EDC assets (including people, facilities and infrastructure) could require up to six (6) months to complete and that the actual physical transfer of the EDC assets would begin immediately upon completion of the planning and preparation phase. APAR and PORTAL will work jointly and each will use its best efforts to complete the physical transfer of the EDC assets as soon as possible following the exercise of the Transfer option, but in no event later than one year from the date of exercise of the Transfer option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the physical transfer is not complete within one year from the date of the exercise of the Transfer option, APAR shall not be held responsible for delays caused by events and/or circumstances that are beyond APAR’s control, including but not limited to delays in required governmental approvals, customs processing and real estate development.
The pricing structure of the Transfer Option shall be determined using one of the two following options: (a) Physical Transfer (Buy Out) Option; or (b) Transfer Pricing Option (managing the Center on ‘Cost plus management fees’).
| (a) | Physical Transfer (Buy Out) Option |
The pricing of such an option involves the following line items:
(i) Live Business (EDC) Transfer Price: In order to compensate for the loss of business inherent in the transfer of a live and running EDC, APAR will charge *** of the annualized billing (Annualized Billing = *** the six months’ billing preceding the date Portal gives notice of its exercise of the Transfer Option) that was charged to PORTAL for the services provided by Portal-India-EDC (excluding the fees paid under Paragraph 4 for facilities provided to PORTAL Employees).
(ii) Management Fees (Insurance for Successful transfer and management of all regulatory/statutory/STP formalities): The success of the Transfer Phase is dependent on the successful physical transfer of employees to PORTAL. APAR warrants that there will not be any material loss of employee productivity due to such transfer. In the event that one or more employees opts not to accept the transfer, APAR will replace such employees at its own cost and will provide 8-12 weeks of overlap/education time *** to PORTAL. APAR will be required to invest a significant amount of management time in pursuing the regulatory/statutory/STP formalities and securing applicable clearances from respective governmental bodies with respect to the transfer of employees. APAR will charge PORTAL *** per transferred employee to cover these Management Fees. PORTAL shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to select how many and which particular employees it will transfer.
(iii) Infrastructure Transfer Price: At the time of Transfer, if PORTAL requests to purchase any hardware and software infrastructure from APAR, APAR will calculate the remaining un-depreciated amount for the established hardware and software infrastructure and will charge the same to PORTAL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, APAR shall transfer the communications link to PORTAL *** to PORTAL.
*** Confidential Treatment Requested
(iv) Facilities Price: In a typical transfer case, PORTAL may prefer to re-locate to its own facilities. In such a case, APAR will reclaim the Portal-India-EDC facilities, will use such space for other projects, and will not charge PORTAL. If desired, APAR will also assist PORTAL in searching for alternate premises. Should PORTAL desire to continue in the same premises/facilities (that of the ongoing EDC at APAR’s India facilities), APAR will charge PORTAL the proportionate Lease/Rent for the premises with *** additional charge as a Services Fee. If PORTAL continues to use any shared services (e.g. security, administrative, etc.), APAR will charge PORTAL the proportionate charges for such shared services. It is entirely PORTAL’s option to remain or relocate from the then Portal-India-EDC location at the time of Transfer.
| (b) | Transfer Pricing Option |
The ‘Transfer Pricing Option’ for the Transfer Phase offers PORTAL significant cost savings. Under this option, APAR will share with PORTAL the direct, associated costs of running the Portal-India-EDC. APAR will charge PORTAL the sum of all costs on a monthly basis. In addition to these costs, APAR will charge *** per employee per month as management fees for managing and running the Portal-India-EDC. Such management fees cover the Human Resources, Finance, Management, Quality and other functions that re required to ensure the successful operation of the EDC.
14. Employee Bench/Ramp Up. APAR agrees to reserve a bench of trained employees equal to *** of the overall Portal-India-EDC employee base, not including PORTAL-Employees, for use in the event of an urgently required increase in the employee base or for attrition replacements (“Employee Bench”). The Employee Bench will not be considered an active part of the employee resource pool for purposes of determining Portal-India-EDC productivity. Furthermore, APAR will not charge PORTAL for any employees who are part of the Employee Bench until such an employee becomes an active Portal-India-EDC employee. APAR shall have the right to replace employees in the Employee Bench with other APAR employees with prior approval from PORTAL management.
Ramp Up. If PORTAL requests a ramp up in the number of APAR employees assigned to the Portal-India-EDC, which number may or may not exceed the Employee Bench defined above, then within two weeks from the date of submission of a work order to APAR, or such longer period of time as mutually agreed upon (“Ramp Up Deadline”), APAR shall use best efforts to provide to PORTAL up to *** APAR employees for interview and approval by PORTAL, that meet the criteria provided by PORTAL. APAR shall also provide, within such time frame, all relevant information related to such employees, including without limitation, resumes and references. .
