eighty (180) days. At least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial term of this Agreement or any extension thereof, Xxxxx shall give Fidelity written notice of whether or not Xxxxx elects to purchase one (1) or more one hundred eighty (180) day increments of the Termination Services. At least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the last one hundred eighty (180) day increment of the Termination Services then purchased by Xxxxx, Xxxxx shall give Fidelity written notice of whether or not Xxxxx elects to purchase one (1) or more additional one hundred eighty (180) day increments of the Termination Services. As soon as reasonably practical prior to the effective date of the termination of this Agreement, Xxxxx shall give Fidelity written notice of whether or not Xxxxx elects to purchase one (1) or more one hundred eighty (180) day increments of the Termination Services and may elect to purchase additional one hundred eighty (180) day increments of the Termination Services pursuant to the ninety (90) day notice process described above.

       (iii) The Charges for the Termination Services shall be proportionately reduced as the volume of the Services are reduced, the Services are transitioned from Fidelity and the Termination Services are reduced.

ARTICLE 3          SERVICES

     3.01    Obligation to Provide Services

     a.        Commencement and Performance.    Starting on the Initial Commencement Date and continuing during the periods set forth in this Agreement, Fidelity shall provide the Services to, and perform the Services for, the Xxxxx Group for use in the Xxxxx Business in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     b.        Non-Exclusive.    Fidelity is engaged by Xxxxx on a non-exclusive basis to provide and perform the Services under this Agreement and accordingly, Xxxxx and each of the other members of the Xxxxx Group may engage a third party to provide and perform, or itself perform, services that are the same as or similar to the Services or any element of the Services, at any time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as set forth in Exhibit 5, no third party shall have the right to perform the Fidelity ASP

2

 

Services or the Fidelity On-Site Software Services for the Xxxxx Group using the Fidelity Company Information including the Fidelity Software. However, third parties may perform services for the Xxxxx Group that are similar to the Services so long as such third parties do not use Fidelity Company Information including the Fidelity Software.

     3.02    Performance

     a.        Service Levels.    Fidelity agrees that the performance of the Services shall meet or exceed each of the applicable Service Levels, subject to the limitations and in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Agreement.

     b.        Modification of Service Levels and Performance Credits.    As requested by Xxxxx from time to time, Xxxxx and Fidelity shall review changes, modifications, deletions and replacements of and additions to the Service Levels, and reallocations of the Performance Credits for the purposes of better and more timely reflecting, facilitating and supporting the purposes of this Agreement, the use of the Services by the Xxxxx Group, the continuing development of the business of the Xxxxx Group, and the evolving priorities of the business of the Xxxxx Group. All such changes, modifications, deletions and reallocations and the implementation thereof shall be subject to agreement of the parties and shall be implemented through the Change Control Procedure. Fidelity shall not be required to implement any changes, modifications, deletions or replacements of or additions to the Service Levels or reallocations of the Performance Credits that would cause any increase in Fidelity’s costs to perform and deliver the Services, unless Fidelity is permitted to increase the Charges to Xxxxx on a commercially reasonable basis.

     c.        Monitoring and Reporting.    Fidelity shall implement the measurement and monitoring tools and procedures to measure and report Baseline usage and to measure and report Fidelity’s performance of the Services against the Service Levels as such standards and levels may be developed, modified and changed during the term of this Agreement and as the Services may evolve and be supplemented and enhanced during such term, that are used by Fidelity generally for its customers purchasing services similar to the Services. Such measurement and monitoring shall permit reporting at a reasonable level of detail sufficient to verify Baseline usage and compliance with the Service Levels and application of any attendant Performance Credits, and Fidelity shall report such information to Xxxxx monthly or as otherwise set forth in Exhibits 2 and 3. Fidelity shall prepare and maintain detailed records regarding Baseline usage and its compliance with the Service Levels and the determination and application of attendant Performance Credits, and shall permit Xxxxx and its designees reasonable access to all such records for the purposes of performing verifying audits, planning and identifying possible process improvements. Upon reasonable requests from time to time by Xxxxx but subject to the parties’ respective proprietary and confidentiality obligations to third parties, Fidelity shall provide Xxxxx with information and reasonable access to such tools and procedures, and the records relating thereto, for purposes of verification of the reported Baseline measurements, Service Levels, Performance Credits and Earnbacks.

     d.        Performance Credits and Earnbacks.    If Fidelity fails to meet a Service Level for the periods described in Exhibit 2, Xxxxx shall be entitled to recover the Performance Credits in accordance with Exhibit 2. If Fidelity satisfies the criteria for Earnbacks set forth in Exhibit 2, Fidelity shall be entitled to recover the Earnbacks in accordance with Exhibit 2.

3

 

        e.     Service Level Analysis and Resolution.    Upon Fidelity’s failure to meet a Service Level, Fidelity shall as soon as reasonably practicable (i) perform an analysis to identify the cause of such failure, and (ii) provide Xxxxx with a report thereon and the procedure and timing for correcting the failure.

     3.03    Business Continuity Services.    Fidelity will provide Business Continuity Services to the Xxxxx Group in accordance with the timeframes and to the extent set forth in Exhibit 5.

     3.04    Services.    The Services shall be defined, implemented and performed as described in this Agreement. In the event that any change(s) are desired to the Services or the schedule for performance of the Service by either party (including changes to the Acceptance Test Criteria, Baselines, Service Levels, Performance Credits and Charges), the parties shall follow the Change Control Procedures described in Section 3.08 and if a change is agreed to by the parties, enter into a Change Order reflecting such change.

     3.05    Additional Services

     a.        Background.    Xxxxx may request Fidelity to perform one or more Additional Services. If the Additional Services can be provided by Fidelity and/or its Affiliates to the Xxxxx Group on a commercially reasonable basis, Fidelity shall provide a proposal to Xxxxx for such Additional Services and shall provide such Additional Services to the Xxxxx Group subject to the Change Control Procedures in Section 3.06, including the execution of a Change Order by the parties. Further, Xxxxx’x request for Additional Services may include a request for Fidelity to correspondingly reduce or eliminate one or more existing elements of the Services then being provided that are being replaced by the Additional Services, subject to the minimum monthly fees set forth in Exhibit 2, if any. In such event, Fidelity shall determine the resources and expenses related to the element or elements of the Services being reduced or eliminated, if any, and those required for the Additional Services being added.

     b.        Process or Engagement.    As soon as practical after receiving a request for Additional Services from Xxxxx, Fidelity shall provide a written proposal for such Additional Services and the reduction or elimination of one or more existing elements of the Services (if any) to Xxxxx setting forth the net increase or decrease in the Charges and as applicable, increases and decreases in existing Baselines and additional Baselines (if any) that will be attributable to such Additional Services. All changes in the Charges (including minimum Charge requirements) shall be based upon the existing formula and charging methodologies, as applicable, for the Charges set forth in Exhibit 2. Upon receipt of such proposal, Xxxxx may engage Fidelity to perform the Additional Services in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate Xxxxx to obtain Additional Services from Alltel, subject to Section 3.05(a).

     3.06    Xxxxx Group

     a.        Additional Affiliates.    If any member of the Xxxxx Group creates, initiates or acquires any additional Affiliate or other operations or entity during the term of this Agreement and Xxxxx desires that Fidelity provide the Services for such Affiliate or other operations or entity, Fidelity shall provide Xxxxx and/or such Affiliate or other operations or entity with the Services if such Affiliate or other operations or entity satisfies the Qualifying Criteria. Fidelity

4

 

may charge Xxxxx on a commercially reasonable basis fees for the set-up and implementation, fees for any changes to the Services, fees for any Required Consents, and any additional regulatory operating fees payable by Fidelity with respect to such Affiliates or other operations or entity, and shall otherwise charge Xxxxx for the continuing performance and delivery of the Services allocable to such Affiliates or other operation or entity, based on the existing formula and charging methodologies for increases or decreases in the Charges due to increases or reductions in the quantity of the Services used by the Xxxxx Group subject to the minimum monthly fees, if any.

     b.        Divestiture of Affiliates.    If any member of the Xxxxx Group divests any Affiliate or other operation or entity during the term of this Agreement and Xxxxx desires that Fidelity continue to provide the Services for such Affiliate or other operation or entity, Fidelity shall continue to provide Xxxxx and/or such divested Affiliate or other operation or entity with the Services if such divested Affiliate or other operation or entity (i) used the Services prior being divested, (ii) agrees in writing to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement that protect Fidelity’s intellectual property rights and (iii) satisfies the Qualifying Criteria, and Xxxxx pays the fees and expenses incurred by Fidelity to obtain any Required Consents with respect to continuing to provide the Services to such Affiliates or other operations or entity. Fidelity shall charge Xxxxx for the continuing performance and delivery of the Services allocable to such Affiliates or other operation or entity based on the existing formula and charging methodologies for the Charges, and may charge Xxxxx any additional regulatory operating fees payable by Fidelity with respect to the divested Affiliate or other operation or entity. Fidelity shall not be required to provide the Services to any such divested Affiliate, operation or entity for more than twelve (12) months following the effective date of such divestiture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Xxxxx shall be fully responsible for the performance, nonperformance and obligations of any such divested Affiliate to the same extent as if such divested Affiliate were an Affiliate of Xxxxx or the Xxxxx Group.

     3.07    Termination Services.    Fidelity shall make available to Xxxxx the Termination Services under the pricing, terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the Services (including Sections 2.02 and 2.03) at the request of Xxxxx from time to time and/or in connection with the termination or expiration of this Agreement for whatever reason, except as specifically provided in Section 15.01 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent Xxxxx is in material breach or default of its payment obligations under this Agreement after the expiration of the cure period provided in Section 15.01 of this Agreement, Fidelity shall have no obligation to provide Termination Services until such time as Xxxxx has paid to Fidelity all Charges that are then due and payable by Xxxxx to Fidelity, including any applicable interest and Charges for the Termination Services that are required to be prepaid pursuant to this Agreement.

     3.08    Change Control

     a.        Change Control Procedures.    Except for permitted changes in the Fidelity ASP Services by Fidelity as described in Section 3.09(q) and/or Exhibits 3 and 5, in the event that either party requests (i) a change to the scope of the Services (including a decrease or Additional Services or a combination of both), Baselines, Service Levels, Performance Credits or priorities, or (ii) a change to the Charges or Exhibits or Schedules to the Exhibits or to the Escrow Agreement, or (iii) a change to the features, functionality, scalability or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxx may be charged by Fidelity for promptly correcting any such errors or inaccuracies to the extent such errors or inaccuracies were caused by errors in the data, information or materials supplied, or caused to be supplied, by Xxxxx to Fidelity or from instructions given, or caused to be given, by Xxxxx to Fidelity that are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

     b.        RESERVED

The Xxxxx Account Executive or his/her designee, shall as soon as practical instruct Fidelity in writing with respect to each such Interpretative Issue so presented to him/her, and Fidelity is authorized to act and rely on, and

     g.     Viruses.    Xxxxx shall take commercially reasonable measures to prevent the introduction or coding of any Virus or similar items into the Information System, the Fidelity Software, the Xxxxx Data and the information, data and other materials delivered by Fidelity and/or its Contractors or Subcontractors to the Xxxxx Group and/or the Third Party Providers or provided by the Xxxxx Group. Xxxxx will continue to review, analyze and implement improvements to and upgrades of its Virus prevention and correction programs and processes that are commercially reasonable and consistent with the information technology industry’s standards. If a Virus is found to have been introduced into the Information System, the Fidelity Software, the Xxxxx Data and/or the information, data and other materials delivered by Fidelity and/or its Contractors or Subcontractors to the Xxxxx Group and/or the Third Party Providers, Xxxxx shall use commercially reasonable efforts and diligently work to cooperate with Fidelity to eliminate the effects of the Virus.

Any such change(s) other than changes required by United States Federal laws, rules and/or regulations, shall be considered Additional Services.

     3.13    Third Party Agreements — Additions, Deletions and Substitutions.    Pursuant to commercially reasonable terms and conditions, Xxxxx may, pursuant to the Change Control Procedures, add to or delete from or substitute for the Third Party Agreements listed on Exhibit 7, upon notice to Fidelity.

     b.     Responsibility of the Parties.     Each party to this Agreement, shall remain primarily liable and obligated to the other party for the timely and proper performance of all of its obligations hereunder even if such obligations are delegated to third party Contractors and Subcontractors, and for the proper and timely performance and actions of any person or entity to which it delegates or subcontracts any such obligation.

     c.     Replacement.     In the event that (i) either party shall notify the other party that any regulatory authority to which such party is subject has issued an order, directive or other advice to the effect that any Contractor or Subcontractor of the other party is barred, suspended or prohibited from providing services or products, directly or indirectly, to persons or entities engaged in the business of such party, or any person or entity engaged in the business of such party is ordered, directed or advised not to engage any Contractor or Subcontractor of the other party, or (ii) any Contractor or Subcontractor of either party shall commit a material breach of the provisions of Sections 8 and/or 9 of this Agreement, such party shall promptly remove such Contractor or Subcontractor from performing the obligation of such party under this Agreement.

     a.     Integration of Charges.     The charges for Additional Services will be integrated into the Exhibit 2 in accordance with the Change Control Procedure.

     b.     Resolution of Additional Services Determination.     If the parties, both acting in good faith, cannot agree whether a function, responsibility, activity, task or project falls within the scope of the Services, Fidelity shall nevertheless perform the disputed function, responsibility, activity, task or project if requested by Xxxxx.

Upon resolution of the dispute, the parties shall be paid any interest having accrued on the undisputed amounts held in the escrow account in connection with such dispute in proportion to the amount received by each party with respect to such dispute, and the parties shall each pay a portion of the escrow fees attributable to the disputed amount in an inverse proportion to the percentage of the disputed amount paid to each party.

Further, if any interest, penalties or other amounts are levied for a governmental agency with respect to any such tax payable by Xxxxx and such levy was not due to a failure by Fidelity to timely and/or properly act, Xxxxx shall be responsible for and pay the amount of such interest, penalties or other amounts. Fidelity shall set forth in invoices provided to Xxxxx those Services that are subject to tax.

     c.     Cooperation.     The parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other to determine accurately each party’s tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible.

Xxxxx shall bear the costs of any such audit. In the event the audit results in a determination that Fidelity has undercharged Xxxxx, then the amount of such undercharge shall be treated, for invoicing and payment purposes, as an adjustment in arrears for the month in which the undercharge is discovered or in the month in which the final resolution occurs, but no interest or other fee shall be due or payable by Xxxxx with respect to such delayed payment. In the event the audit results in a determination that Fidelity has overcharged Xxxxx or that Fidelity failed to timely or properly provide a credit or reimbursement to Xxxxx, then the amount of such overcharge and/or credit and/or reimbursement (plus interest thereon from the date of such overcharge or failure to timely or properly provide a credit or reimbursement to Xxxxx through the date of repayment or credit by Fidelity at

15

 

the rate specified in Section 4.05(b)) shall be treated, for invoicing and payment purposes, as a credit in arrears for the month in which the overcharge or failure to credit or reimburse is discovered or in the month in which the final resolution occurs, whichever later occurs. If the amount of the overcharge and/or credit and/or reimbursement is equal to or exceeds ten percent (10%) of the total amount of the Charges for the calendar year to which the audit relates, Fidelity shall reimburse Xxxxx for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the audit.

In the event the audit results in a determination that Fidelity is not in compliance with such obligations, the parties will meet and agree upon the reasonable steps and timeline Fidelity must take and satisfy to bring it into compliance and Fidelity shall promptly take such steps.

     12.01     Account Executives.    All Disputes shall be referred to the Account Executives prior to escalation to the Services Oversight Committee. If the Account Executives are unable to resolve, or do not anticipate resolving, the Dispute within ten (10) days after referral of the Dispute to them or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing, the parties shall submit the Dispute to the Services Oversight Committee.

28

 

parties. The Services Oversight Committee shall consider Disputes in the order such Disputes are brought before it, unless the Committee determines otherwise in a particular instance. In the event the Services Oversight Committee is unable to resolve a Dispute within fifteen (15) days of the date of the first meeting or telephone conference call during which such Dispute was considered, the Services Oversight Committee shall notify the senior executive selected by each party pursuant to Section 12.03. No Dispute under this Agreement shall be the subject of arbitration or litigation proceedings between Xxxxx and Fidelity before being considered by the Services Oversight Committee and senior management pursuant to Section 12.03, except for an action to seek injunctive relief described in Article 13.

     12.03     Senior Management.    Either party may, upon receipt of a notice from the Services Oversight Committee pursuant to Section 12.02, elect to utilize a non-binding dispute resolution procedure whereby each presents its case at a hearing before a panel consisting of the Chief Operating Officer of each of the parties. If a party elects to use the procedure set forth in this Section, the other party shall participate. The hearing shall occur within fourteen (14) days after a party serves notice to use the procedure set forth in this Section. Neither party may be represented at the hearing by legal counsel unless the parties otherwise agree in writing; however, each party may be accompanied by legal counsel providing advice and counsel to such party versus representation as an advocate in the hearing. If the matter cannot be resolved at the hearing, each party’s only recourse shall be arbitration or litigation as provided in Article 13. The proceedings occurring pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to the legal position of either party. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, all discussions and correspondence among the representatives for the purposes of these negotiations shall be treated as confidential information developed for purposes of settlement, exempt from discovery and production, which shall not be admissible in any subsequent proceedings between the parties; provided, however, written notices of default, breach, cure, election and/or demand given in connection with such negotiations may be disclosed by either party in connection with any dispute resolution process or proceeding (whether arbitration, mediation, litigation or otherwise) and as required by law or a regulation of any national securities exchange on which such party’s securities are traded.

Each party shall have the right to designate one (1) member of the panel from the list of arbitrators provided by the AAA. Such members shall select a third member of the panel from the list of arbitrators provided by the AAA. The party demanding arbitration shall communicate its demand therefore in writing, identifying the nature of the Dispute. Each party shall then be bound to name, in writing, its arbitrator from the list provided by the AAA within twenty (20) days after the initial demand for arbitration. If either xxxxx fails or refuses to name its arbitrator within the twenty (20) day time period, the AAA shall name the second arbitrator. If the two (2) arbitrators are unable to agree upon a third arbitrator within twenty (20) days after the second arbitrator is named, the AAA shall appoint a third arbitrator from candidates submitted by both parties.

     13.02     AAA.    The commercial rules of the AAA shall apply to any arbitration under this Agreement, except to the extent the provisions of this Article vary therefrom.

     13.03     Decisions.    Decisions of the panel shall be made by majority vote. The panel is empowered to render awards including, without limitation, damage awards and injunctions enjoining a party from performing any act prohibited or compelling a party to perform any act directed by this Agreement. The panel may award only those types and amounts of damages as permitted or authorized by this Agreement.

     13.04     Interim Orders.    The panel may issue such interim orders in accord with principles of equity as may be necessary to protect any party from irreparable harm during the pendency of any arbitration before it. Any such order shall be without prejudice to the final determination of the controversy

     13.05     Location.    The proceeding before the panel shall be held in New York City, or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties.

     13.06     Expedited Schedule.    The arbitration shall be conducted on an expedited schedule. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the parties shall make their initial submissions to the panel and the hearing shall commence within one hundred twenty (120) days of the initiation of proceedings. The hearing shall be completed within ten (10) business days thereafter with each party allowed equal time and opportunity to present its respective side of the claim or controversy.

     13.07     Prompt Award.    The award shall be made promptly by the panel, and, unless agreed by the parties, no later than thirty (30) days from the closing of the hearing. Any failure to render the award within the foregoing time period shall not affect the validity of such award.

30

 

     13.08     Discovery.    The parties shall be entitled to discovery of all documents and information reasonably necessary for a full understanding of any Dispute raised in the arbitration relating to this Agreement. The parties may use all methods of discovery available under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, including, without limitation, depositions, requests for admission and requests for production of documents. The time periods applied to these discovery methods shall be set by the panel so as to permit compliance with the scheduling provisions of this Article. All discussions and correspondence among the representatives for purposes of the negotiations instituted under Article 12 above (Dispute Resolution) shall be treated as confidential information developed for purposes of settlement, exempt from discovery and production, which shall not be admissible in any subsequent proceedings between the parties; provided, however, written notices of default, breach, cure, election and/or demand given in connection with such negotiations may be disclosed by either party in connection with any dispute resolution process or proceeding (whether arbitration, mediation, litigation or otherwise) and as required by such law or a regulation of any national securities exchange on which such party’s securities are traded. Documents identified in or provided with such communications, which are not prepared for purposes of the negotiations, are not so exempted and may, if otherwise admissible, be admitted in evidence in such subsequent proceeding.

     13.09     Binding Decisions.    The decision or award rendered or made in connection with the arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto. The prevailing party may present the decision or award to any court of competent jurisdiction for confirmation pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-14, and such court shall enter forthwith an order confirming such decision or award.

     13.10     Litigation.    All Claims by the Xxxxx indemnities pursuant to Section 16.01 (viii), by the Fidelity indemnities pursuant to Section 16.02 (viii), by Xxxxx described in Section 14.05 (b)(iii), and by Fidelity described in Section 14.05 (b)(iv), together with all claims arising out of the same incident(s) and/or circumstance(s) with respect to each of the foregoing, shall not be subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions of this Article 13, but instead shall be brought in a Federal District Court, state court or similar governmental judicial tribunal. Each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such tribunal and agrees that service of process may be completed in any such suit, action or proceeding by any reasonable means calculated to assure actual notice, including, without limitation, delivery by Federal Express or other courier service, or certified or registered mail, return receipt registered and received. If a judgment for fraud and/or intentional misconduct is not returned against the party defendant, the party plaintiff shall promptly reimburse the party defendant, upon demand, for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the party defendant in the defense of the fraud and/or intentional misconduct claim(s) by the party plaintiff. Alternatively, if a judgment for fraud and/or intentional misconduct is returned against the party defendant, the party defendant shall reimburse the party plaintiff, upon demand, for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the party plaintiff in the prosecution of the fraud and/or intentional misconduct claim(s) by the party plaintiff; as well as for the judgment against the party defendant.

     13.11     Continued Performance.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties shall continue to timely and properly perform their respective obligations under this Agreement while a dispute between the parties is being resolved unless and until such performance

31

 

is prevented by the actions of the other party, unless such action is instituted for Xxxxx failure to pay any undisputed amounts due and payable to Fidelity hereunder.

     13.12     Injunctive Relief.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, either Party may resort to court action for injunctive relief at any time if, in such party’s good faith belief, the Dispute Resolution Processes set forth in Articles 12 and 13 would permit or cause irreparable injury to such party or any third party claiming against such party, due to delay arising of the Dispute Resolution Process.

     13.13     Governing Law.    All rights and obligations of the parties relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Virginia, without giving effect to any choice-of-law provision or rule (whether of the State of Virginia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided, however, the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act as enacted in Virginia, Va. Code §§ 59 1-501 01 et seq (“UCITA”), shall not apply to this Agreement or any performance hereunder and the parties expressly opt-out of the applicability of UCITA to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 14     BREACH; REMEDIES

     14.01     Certain Limitations of Fidelity Responsibility.    Among other provisions in this Agreement which excuse performance by the parties in certain instances, this Section 14.01 excuses Fidelity’s performance in certain instances. Fidelity shall not be liable for its failure to perform to the extent, but only to the extent, that Fidelity’s failure is due to (i) a failure by the Xxxxx Group, or any third party retained by or under the control of (excluding Fidelity and/or its Affiliates, Contractors and Subcontractors) the Xxxxx Group, to provide hardware, software, services, data consents, approvals, responses or materials that the Xxxxx Group or such third party is required to provide to Fidelity in accordance with this Agreement and that Fidelity requires to perform the Services, unless such failure was caused in whole or part by Fidelity, (ii) a failure by Xxxxx or the Xxxxx Group to timely and properly perform its responsibilities in accordance with this Agreement, unless such failure was caused in whole or part by Fidelity, (iii) a failure by Xxxxx or the Xxxxx Group to obtain consents or approvals for Fidelity and its Affiliates, Contractors and Subcontractors to use the Xxxxx Software (excluding any consents required from Fidelity and/or its Affiliates, Contractors and Subcontractors) in accordance with this Agreement, (iv) a failure by Xxxxx or the Xxxxx Group to timely and accurately provide input data or review output produced by Fidelity as a part of the Services in accordance with this Agreement, or (v) any act or omission by Fidelity done or omitted to be done by Fidelity in accordance with a direction from an individual designated by Xxxxx or the Xxxxx Group pursuant to Section 3.08(b).

     14.02     Force Majeure

     a.           Excuse of Performance.    Subject to Section 14.02(b), neither party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) if and to the extent such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by acts of God, governmental acts, accidents, wars, terrorism, riots or civil unrest, fires, storms, earthquakes, floods or elements of nature (individually, a “Force Majeure Event”). The excuse of performance provided by this Section 14.02 extends to Force Majeure Events

32

 

which occur to Fidelity and/or its Affiliates, Contractors and Subcontractors, including any such Contractor or Subcontractor contracted by Fidelity to provide Business Continuity Services for Xxxxx pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event and subject to Section 14.02(b), the nonperforming party will be excused from any further performance or observance of the obligations so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Any party so delayed in its performance will as promptly as practical notify the other party by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within five (5) days of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such delay.

     b.          Termination of Certain Fidelity Obligations.    Upon a Force Majeure Event affecting both the ability of Fidelity to provide the Services itself and to provide the Fidelity ASP Services portion of the Business Continuity Services through a third party as described in Exhibit 5, for more than thirty (30) days which cannot be restored by Fidelity using commercially reasonable efforts within such thirty (30) days, either Fidelity or Xxxxx may upon ten (10) days prior notice to the other party after such thirty (30) day period terminate Fidelity’s obligation to perform the Services except by providing to the Xxxxx Group the remaining portion of the Services defined in this Agreement as the Business Continuity Services. A termination as described in this Section 14.02(b) shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement by Fidelity, but such termination shall not relieve Fidelity of its obligation to provide the Business Continuity Services as described in this Section 14.02 and Exhibit 5.

     14.03     Limitation of Liability — Amount.    Except as provided in Section 14.05(a), each party’s liability for damages whether a claim therefore is based on warranty, contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence or strict liability), guarantee, statute or otherwise arising out of or relating to any performance or nonperformance of Services under this Agreement shall be limited in the aggregate for all claims to an amount equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Cap”).

     14.04     Limitations of Liability — Types of Damages.    Except as provided in Section 14.05(b), neither party shall have any liability whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence or strict liability), guarantee, statute or any other legal or equitable grounds to the other party for any damages defined by applicable law as indirect, consequential, special, punitive or incidental damages, whether or not a party has been advised by the possibility of such damages.

     14.05     Exclusions from Limitations

     a.           Amount of Damages.    The following damages and recoveries shall not be subject to the Cap set forth in Section 14.03:

            (i)     RESERVED;

            (ii)     damages arising from a breach of Section 3.16 “Services not to be Withheld”;

            (iii)     RESERVED;

33

 

       (iv)     recoveries payable with respect to the indemnification claims set forth in Section 16.01 (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix), (x), and (xi) and Section 16.02 (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix);

       (v)     damages arising from claims by Xxxxx for fraud committed by, and/or the intentional misconduct of, Fidelity and/or its Affiliates, Contractors, or Subcontractors or the employees of any of the foregoing, in connection with the Services and/or this Agreement, subject to Section 13.10;

       (vi)     damages arising from claims by Fidelity for fraud committed by, and/or the intentional misconduct of, Xxxxx and/or its Affiliates, Contractors, or Subcontractors or the employees of any of the foregoing, in connection with the Services and/or this Agreement, subject to Section 13.10; and

       (vii)     damages arising from a breach of Fidelity’s obligation to timely and properly restore the Services after a Business Interruption Event shall be limited by the Cap plus Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for Overdrafts; provided, however, that in order for Xxxxx to recover such damages, Fidelity must fail to restore the Services for at least one hundred two (102) hours after the Business Interruption Event and Xxxxx must have given Fidelity at least six (6) hours written notice of the Business Interruption Event prior to claiming damages from Fidelity.

     With the exception of the Cap limitation set forth in this Section 14.05(a) at (vii), payments made for damages and amounts described in items (i) through (vii) of this Section 14.05 shall not be included in calculating the Cap.

     b.     Types of Damages.    The damages, losses and payments arising from the following events shall not be subject to the limitations on the types of damages recoverable by the parties in Section 14.04:

       (i)     RESERVED;

       (ii)     damages arising from a breach of Section 3.16 “Services Not To Be Withheld”;

       (iii)     the following damages, losses and payments: (1) damages of the Xxxxx Group, (2) all amounts paid and payable and/or lost by the Xxxxx Group to Fidelity and/or third parties, and (3) all amounts paid and/or lost by the Xxxxx Group arising out of or resulting from judgments, settlements, awards, losses, charges, liabilities, penalties, interest claims (including taxes and all related interest and penalties incurred directly with respect thereto), however described or denominated, and all related reasonable costs, expenses and other charges (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) and reasonable external costs of investigations, litigation, hearings, proceedings, document and data productions and discovery, settlement, judgment, award, interest and penalties), however described or denominated (but such damages, losses and payments described in (1), (2) and (3) shall exclude (A) loss of profits of the Xxxxx Group, (B) loss of revenue of the Xxxxx Group, and/or (C) damages to the reputation of the Xxxxx

34

 

  Group), which damages, losses and payments described in (1), (2) and (3) arise from fraud committed by, and/or the intentional misconduct of, Fidelity and/or its Affiliates, Contractors, or Subcontractors or the employees of any of the foregoing, in connection with the Services and/or this Agreement, subject to Section 13.10; and

       (iv)     the following damages, losses and payments: (1) damages of Fidelity, (2) all amounts paid and payable and/or lost by Fidelity to Xxxxx and/or third parties, and (3) all amounts paid and/or lost by Fidelity arising out of or resulting from judgments, settlements, awards, losses, charges, liabilities, penalties, interest claims (including taxes and all related interest and penalties incurred directly with respect thereto), however described or denominated, and all related reasonable costs, expenses and other charges (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) and reasonable external costs of investigations, litigation, hearings, proceedings, document and data productions and discovery, settlement, judgment, award, interest and penalties), however described or denominated (but such damages, losses and payments described in (1), (2) and (3) shall exclude (A) loss of profits of the Fidelity, (B) loss of revenue of the Fidelity, and/or (C) damages to the reputation of the Fidelity), which damages, losses and payments described in (1), (2) and (3) arising from fraud committed by, and/or the intentional misconduct of, Xxxxx and/or its Affiliates, Contractors, or Subcontractors or the employees of any of the foregoing, in connection with the Services and/or this Agreement, subject to Section 13.10.

     14.06     Limited Circumstance Recoveries.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 14.04), Xxxxx may recover the following damages subject to the terms of Section 14.03 and 14.05(a):

     a.           direct damages arising from a breach of Article 9 with respect to information of or regarding customers and/or consumers of the Xxxxx Group included in the Xxxxx Data by Fidelity and/or its Contractors and Subcontractors, and all amounts any member of the Xxxxx Group pays and/or loses to third parties resulting from or arising out of and/or to remedy the effects of such breach (excluding in all cases (i) loss of profits of the Xxxxx Group, (ii) loss of revenue of the Xxxxx Group, and/or (iii) damages to the reputation of the Xxxxx Group);

     b.           Losses as defined in this Agreement and used in Article 16; and

     c.           Overdrafts as defined in this Agreement and used in Section. 14.05(a)(vii).

     14.07     Remedies

     a.           Generally.    Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each of the parties, at its option, may seek all remedies available to it under law and in equity including, without limitation, recoupment, injunctive relief in the form of specific performance to enforce the Agreement and/or actions for damages.

     b.           For Breaches of Service Levels.    The parties agree that the damages incurred by the Xxxxx Group as a result of a breach by Fidelity of an individual Service Level or group of Service Levels which does not constitute a

35

 

material breach of this Agreement as defined in Section 12.03 of Exhibit 2 are difficult and costly to determine, that the Performance Credits are a fair estimate of the damages incurred by the Xxxxx Group in the event of a breach by Fidelity of an individual Service Level or group of Service Levels which do not constitute a material breach of this Agreements as defined in Section 12.03 of Exhibit 2, are reasonable and are not unconscionable under the circumstances on the Effective Date, and that the Performance Credits are liquidated damages awarded in such event in lieu of actual damages incurred by the Xxxxx Group. Accordingly, Xxxxx’ recovery of Performance Credit(s) with respect to a Service Level breach or group of Service Level breaches which do not constitute a material breach of this Agreement as defined in Section 12.03 of Exhibit 2 shall constitute an acknowledgement by Xxxxx of full satisfaction and release of such Service Level breach claim(s) by Xxxxx giving rise to the Performance Credits. However, Xxxxx recovery of Performance Credits for a breach or breaches by Fidelity of one or more Service Levels shall not constitute a full satisfaction of and release by Xxxxx of Xxxxx’ claim(s) for other breach(es) of the Agreement for which the Service Levels do not constitute the exclusive basis upon which a breach or breaches of the Agreement may be claimed, and Xxxxx shall not be precluded from asserting such breach(es) or recovering damages for such breach(es) by this Section 14.07(b). Moreover, any Service Level breach or group of Service Level breaches by Fidelity which constitute a material breach of this Agreement as defined in Section 12.03 of Exhibit 2 shall not be satisfied and released by the payment of Performance Credits to Xxxxx by Fidelity because the Performance Credits are not agreed by the parties to be a fair estimate of the damages incurred by the Xxxxx Group or reasonable or not unconscionable under such circumstances. Accordingly, the payment of the Performance Credits shall not constitute liquidated damages for such a material breach as defined in Section 12.03 of Exhibit 2, and if paid or credited by Fidelity, such Performance Credits shall be a credit toward the actual damages incurred by the Xxxxx Group as a result of such a material breach.

     14.08     Subrogation for Overdraft and Certain Other Claims and Losses.    In the event that Fidelity is obligated to pay and pays any claim for damages to any member of the Xxxxx Group for Overdrafts incurred by such member of the Xxxxx Group arising out of or resulting from a breach by Fidelity of its obligation to timely and properly restore the Services after a Business Interruption Event and/or Fidelity’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 16.01(vii), Fidelity shall be subrogated to all rights of such member of the Xxxxx Group with respect to damages for Overdrafts or other Claims and/or Losses described in Section 16.01 (vii) that were recovered pursuant to such claim.

ARTICLE 15     TERMINATION

     15.01     Conditions of Termination/Effect of Termination.    In addition to expiration at the end of the term specified in Article 2, this Agreement may be terminated under any of the following circumstances:

     a.     Convenience.    At anytime following the Live Date, Xxxxx may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon twelve (12) months prior written notice to Fidelity. A termination pursuant to this Section 15.0l(a) shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. In such event, Fidelity shall be obligated to provide the Termination Services as requested by Xxxxx. Xxxxx’ sole and exclusive payment liability to Fidelity for a termination for convenience shall be the payment to Fidelity of the following amounts: (i) the Termination Charge; and (ii) the Charges for the Services through the find day on which Fidelity

36

 

provides and performs, and Xxxxx uses, the Services. Each of Charges (i) through (ii) shall be paid by Xxxxx to Fidelity in accordance with the terms of this Agreement

     x.     Xxxxx for Cause.    Xxxxx may terminate this Agreement for cause as follows:

43

 

     16.03     Indemnification Procedure.    An indemnified party under this Article 16 shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnity under this Article 16. An indemnifying party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Claim. If it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party may, except as provided in the immediately following sentence and the last sentence of this paragraph, assume the defense of such Claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In the event that the Claim involves intellectual property infringement and affects more than just the parties to this Agreement and their respective Affiliates, then the indemnifying party shall not be required to seek the consent of the indemnified party with respect to its counsel. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expertise of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expense of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party (i) if such settlement involves any form of relief other than the payment of money or any finding or admission of any violation of any law, regulation or order or any of the rights of any person or has any adverse effect on any other Claims that have been or may be made against the indemnified party, or (ii) if such settlement involves only the payment of money, unless it includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party of all liability on claims that are the subject of such proceeding. An indemnified party may assume control of the defense of any Claim if (i) it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under this Article 16, or (ii) without prejudice to its full right to indemnity under this Article 16 (A) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend or provide indemnification with respect to such Claim, (B) the indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that a Claim would materially and adversely affect it or any other indemnitees other than as a result of monetary damages that would he fully reimbursed by an indemnifying party under this Agreement, or (C) the indemnifying party refuses or fails to timely assume the defense of such Claim.

     An indemnifying party required to provide an indemnity to an indemnified party under this Article 16 shall have no obligation nor any Claim under this Article if:

44

 

       (i)     the indemnified party fails to notify the indemnifying party of such Claim as provided above, but only to the extent that the defense of such Claim is prejudiced by such failure;
 
       (ii)     the indemnified party fails to tender control of the defense of such Claim to the indemnifying party as provided in this Section 16.03; or
 
       (iii)     the indemnified party fails to provide the indemnifying party with all reasonable cooperation in the defense of such Claim (the cost thereof to be borne by the indemnifying party).
