5 | F&A Master Services Agreement |
This MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR FINANCE & ACCOUNTING SERVICES (this “Master Agreement”) is entered into as of September 30, 2004, 2004, by and between Federal-Mogul Parent and IBM Parent. Federal-Mogul Parent and IBM Parent agree that the following terms and conditions shall apply to the relationship between Federal-Mogul and IBM and to the provision of Services by each applicable IBM Local Entity pursuant to the applicable Country Agreement, to the extent such terms and conditions are incorporated therein by reference, in consideration of certain payments to be made by each applicable Federal-Mogul Local Entity pursuant to such applicable Country Agreement. As used in this Master Agreement and the applicable Country Agreements: (1) “Federal-Mogul Parent” shall mean Federal-Mogul Corporation, a Michigan corporation, with offices at 00000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, and “Federal-Mogul” shall mean Federal-Mogul Parent and/or, in the context of a Country Agreement, the applicable Affiliate of Federal-Mogul Parent that is a contracting entity to such Country Agreement; (2) “IBM Parent” shall mean International Business Machines Corporation, a New York corporation with offices at Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, and “IBM” shall mean IBM Parent and/or in the context of a Country Agreement, the applicable Affiliate of IBM Parent that is a contracting entity to such Country Agreement; and (3) “Party” shall mean either Federal-Mogul or IBM, as appropriate, and “Parties” shall mean Federal-Mogul and IBM, collectively.
1. | OBJECTIVES AND CONSTRUCTION |
1.1 | Background. |
This Master Agreement is being made and entered into with reference to the following:
(A) Federal-Mogul is a global automotive parts manufacturer and distributor in the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty and industrial markets, serving both original equipment and aftermarket customers. Employing approximately 47,000 people at 150 locations in 25 countries, Federal-Mogul is among the world’s top independent automotive suppliers.
(B) Historically, Federal-Mogul has relied predominantly on internal staff to deliver the finance and accounting and related information technology services described in this Master Agreement. However, in December 2003, Federal-Mogul commenced a formal competitive procurement process to identify service providers with the capability and experience to provide certain finance and accounting and related information technology services (all as further described in this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements) on an outsourced basis (the “F&A Outsourcing Services”).
(C) IBM desired to provide the F&A Outsourcing Services and participated in Federal-Mogul’s competitive procurement process.
(D) Based upon IBM’s (1) demonstrated capability to provide the F&A Outsourcing Services; (2) proposed pricing for the F&A Outsourcing Services; and (3) commitment to assign certain key personnel to the Federal-Mogul account on a dedicated basis and certain other personnel on an as-needed basis to deliver the F&A Outsourcing Services, Federal-Mogul selected IBM to enter into discussions and negotiations for a definitive agreement pursuant to which IBM would provide the F&A Outsourcing Services.
(E) The Parties’ discussions and negotiations culminated in this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements.
1 | F&A Master Services Agreement |
(F) This Master Agreement, including the schedules attached hereto, and the Country Agreements, including the exhibits and schedules attached thereto, document the terms and conditions under which Federal-Mogul agrees to purchase and IBM agrees to provide the F&A Outsourcing Services.
1.2 | Objectives. |
Federal-Mogul and IBM have agreed upon the following specific goals and objectives for this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements:
(A) Produce significant operational cost savings for Federal-Mogul relative to the costs Federal-Mogul is currently incurring to provide the F&A Outsourcing Services to the Federal-Mogul facilities affected by the transaction;
(B) Increase the probability of the successful achievement of certain improvements to Federal-Mogul’s finance and accounting systems and service delivery for Federal-Mogul locations that are not currently being supported by Federal-Mogul’s shared services environment;
(C) Help enable Federal-Mogul to spread certain investments for the improvement of certain systems and processes that relate to the F&A Outsourcing Services over a longer period;
(D) Provide for the continuous improvement of the systems and processes that relate to the F&A Outsourcing Services;
(E) Improve the quality of the systems and processes that relate to the F&A Outsourcing Services;
(F) Improve Federal-Mogul’s access to the capabilities and competencies that relate to the F&A Outsourcing Services;
(G) Improve performance management and measurement of Federal-Mogul’s finance and accounting processes and systems;
(H) Increase and maintain an enhanced level of visibility over, the integrity of and accountability for Federal-Mogul’s finance and accounting and related information technology processes, systems and controls through the implementation of contractual mechanisms designed to enhance such visibility and integrity (e.g., Service Levels), and align the delivery of finance and accounting and related information technology services with Federal-Mogul’s internal control requirements; and
(I) Help enable Federal-Mogul to focus its attention on its core businesses and processes.

*** | MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
4 | F&A Master Services Agreement |
this Section that it does not desire to renew this Master Agreement, this Master Agreement shall expire on the Master Agreement Expiration Date. If Federal-Mogul provides IBM with notice pursuant to this Section that it desires to renew this Master Agreement and the Parties have not agreed on the applicable terms and conditions in respect of such renewal 30 days prior to the Master Agreement Expiration Date, then this Master Agreement shall expire on the Master Agreement Expiration Date.
4.3 | Country Agreements. |
The term of a Country Agreement shall commence on the Country Agreement Effective Date and shall continue until the Country Agreement Expiration Date, or such earlier date upon which such Country Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (the “Initial Country Agreement Term”).

5. | TRANSITION |
5.1 | General. |
Commencing on the applicable Country Agreement Effective Date, IBM shall plan, prepare for and conduct the transition of certain finance and accounting and related information technology operations all in accordance with the applicable Transition Plan (the “Transition”). The Transition of such operations shall be completed no later than the Transition Completion Date. IBM’s responsibilities with respect to Transition include:
(A) performing the services, functions and responsibilities described in the Transition Plan in accordance with the applicable Transition schedule and Transition Milestones;
(B) performing the Transition in a manner so as to minimize any disruption to Federal-Mogul’s business operations;
(C) paying all costs associated with the Transition (except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit C to the applicable Country Agreement); and
(D) otherwise performing such transition and migration tasks as are necessary to enable IBM to provide the Services in accordance with the terms of the applicable Country Agreement, including the applicable Service Levels.
5.2 | Transition Plan. |
The Transition shall be conducted, pursuant to each Country Agreement, in accordance with a written plan that shall include: (A) a description of the finance and accounting and related information technology operations being transitioned; (B) a description of the methods and procedures, personnel and organization IBM will use to perform the Transition; (C) a schedule of Transition activities; (D) a detailed description of the respective roles and responsibilities of Federal-Mogul and IBM; and (E) such other information and planning as are necessary to ensure that the Transition takes place on schedule and in a manner so as to minimize the disruption to Federal-Mogul business operations (the “Transition
5 | F&A Master Services Agreement |
Plan”). The initial draft of each Transition Plan shall be attached as Schedule D-1 to Exhibit D to the applicable Country Agreement. IBM shall be responsible for revising and finalizing each Transition Plan; provided that: (1) IBM shall cooperate and work closely with Federal-Mogul in baselining and finalizing each Transition Plan (including incorporating Federal-Mogul’s reasonable comments); and (2) the final Transition Plan (and any changes thereto) shall be subject to written approval by Federal-Mogul.
5.3 | Completion of Transition. |
(A) Federal-Mogul reserves the right to monitor, test and otherwise observe and participate in each Transition. IBM will notify Federal-Mogul without delay if any Federal-Mogul monitoring, testing or participation has caused (or IBM expects it to cause) a problem or delay in any Transition and work with Federal-Mogul to prevent or circumvent the problem or delay.
(B) In IBM’s performance of each Transition, no functionality of Federal-Mogul’s then-current environment will be discontinued until IBM demonstrates to Federal-Mogul’s reasonable satisfaction that the affected processes and operations have been migrated to IBM’s target environment, Federal-Mogul has signed-off on such migration and IBM has commenced providing the relevant Services in accordance with the Transition Plan.
5.4 | Transition Delays. |
(A) If any Interim Transition Milestone is not completed on or before the given date for such Interim Transition Milestone, then, unless such delay was caused by Federal-Mogul, for the period of delay, IBM, subject to Section 5.5, shall incur the applicable Transition Milestone Credits specified in Exhibit D to the applicable Country Agreement. If such delay was caused by Federal-Mogul, then any related Transition Milestone Credits will be excused, and Federal-Mogul shall reimburse IBM for any Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred, and additional personnel required (at the labor rates set forth in Exhibit C to the applicable Country Agreement), by IBM as a result of such delay.
(B) If the Transition is not completed on or before the applicable Transition Completion Date specified in Exhibit D to the applicable Country Agreement, then, unless such delay in completing the Transition by the Transition Completion Date was caused by Federal-Mogul, IBM shall pay to Federal-Mogul (1) any Transition Milestone Credits incurred pursuant to Section 5.4(A) in respect of the Interim Transition Milestones and (2) the Transition Milestone Credits to be credited for each day that the Final Transition Milestone is not completed by the Transition Completion Date as specified in Exhibit D to the applicable Country Agreement. If the delay in completing the Transition by the Transition Completion Date was caused by Federal-Mogul, then any related Transition Milestone Credits will be excused, and Federal-Mogul shall reimburse IBM for any Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred, and additional personnel required (at the labor rates set forth in Exhibit C to the applicable Country Agreement), by IBM as a result of such delay.
(C) If the Final Transition Milestone is completed on or before the Transition Completion Date, any Transition Milestone Credits incurred by IBM pursuant to Section 5.4(A)(1) in respect of the Interim Transition Milestones shall be excused by Federal-Mogul.

5.5 | Transition Milestone Credit Cap and Termination. |
In no event shall IBM be required to pay more than *** to Federal-Mogul in Transition Milestone Credits in respect of any of the Interim Transition Milestones or Final Transition Milestones under the *** Country Agreement and the *** Country Agreement. If IBM incurs Transition Milestone Credits in excess of *** under the *** Country Agreement and the *** Country Agreement, Federal-Mogul may, by giving written notice to IBM, terminate the applicable Country Agreement.
6. | PROJECTS |
IBM shall provide to Federal-Mogul the Project-related services, including the Project management activities set forth in Exhibit A to the applicable Country Agreement, in accordance with the processes and procedures set forth in Schedule E.

6.3 | Initiation/Termination of the Phase III Transition Project. |
(A) IBM shall provide the services, functions and responsibilities relating to the Phase III Transition Project at such time as Federal-Mogul provides IBM with notice to proceed with such Project. Federal-Mogul shall provide such notice no later than *** following the later of (1) the Transition Completion Date under the *** Country Agreement and (2) the Transition Completion Date under the *** Country Agreement (such date, the “Phase III Option Date”), provided that a KPI Default under either the *** Country Agreement or the *** Country Agreement has not occurred at any time prior to the Phase III Option Date. If a KPI Default has occurred prior to the Phase III Option Date, the Phase III Option Date shall be extended until IBM has demonstrated that it has performed the Services without a KPI Default for ***. If the Phase III Option Date is extended beyond ***, such that there is not a sufficient period of time for IBM to perform the Services for three consecutive months with no KPI Defaults, then the following shall apply:
(1) If such extension is due to the fault of IBM, unless the Parties otherwise agree, the Parties’ obligations with respect to the Phase III Transition Project shall terminate, ***.
(2) If such extension is due to the fault of Federal-Mogul, unless the Parties otherwise agree, the Parties’ obligations with respect to the Phase III Transition Project shall terminate, ***.
*** | MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
7 | F&A Master Services Agreement |
(B) Unless the Parties’ obligations with respect to Phase III Transition Project terminate pursuant to Section 6.3(A)(1) or Section 6.3(A)(2), if Federal-Mogul does not give notice to IBM to proceed with the Phase III Transition Project before or on the Phase III Option Date, the Parties’ obligations relating to the Phase III Transition Project shall terminate ***.

(E) | No Implied Rights. |
Each Party’s Confidential Information shall remain the property of that Party, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Master Agreement or a Country Agreement.

Termination/Expiration Assistance shall include the assistance described in Exhibit K to the applicable Country Agreement and the following:
(1) Federal-Mogul or Federal-Mogul’s designee shall be permitted to undertake, without interference from IBM, to hire any IBM Personnel primarily performing the Services no earlier than 90 days prior to the date of termination or expiration of the applicable Country Agreement.

Federal-Mogul will assume responsibility under any maintenance agreements for such Equipment to the extent such responsibilities relate to periods after the date of termination/expiration of such Country Agreement.
(4) IBM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary rights and thereafter make available to Federal-Mogul or its designee, pursuant to reasonable terms and conditions, any third party services then being utilized by IBM in the performance of the Services including services

In the process of evaluating whether to undertake or allow termination/expiration or renewal of a Country Agreement, Federal-Mogul may consider obtaining, or determine to obtain, offers for performance of services similar to the Services following termination/expiration of such Country Agreement. As and when reasonably requested by Federal-Mogul for use in this process, IBM shall provide to Federal-Mogul such information and other cooperation regarding performance of the Services as would be reasonably necessary for a third party to prepare an informed, non-qualified offer for such services, and for a third party not to be disadvantaged compared to IBM if IBM were to be invited by Federal-Mogul to submit a proposal. IBM’s support in this respect shall include providing information regarding Systems, staffing and other matters described in Exhibit K to the applicable Country Agreement as applicable to this Section. Any third party receiving such information shall be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement with Federal-Mogul that contains confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those contained in Section 18.3.
27.8 | Equitable Remedies. |
IBM acknowledges that, in the event it fails or refuses to provide any portion of the Termination/Expiration Assistance and such failure or refusal will, or will likely, adversely impact the Services or the orderly transfer of the Services to Federal-Mogul or its designee, Federal-Mogul will be irreparably harmed. In such a circumstance, Federal-Mogul may proceed directly to court. If a court of competent jurisdiction should find that IBM has refused to perform any portion of the Termination/Expiration Assistance, IBM agrees that, without any additional findings of irreparable injury or other conditions to injunctive relief, it shall not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling performance by IBM of the Termination/Expiration Assistance and restraining it from any further failure or refusal to perform such Termination/Expiration Assistance, and provided any such court order includes an order directing Federal-Mogul to make payments for Termination/Expiration Assistance in accordance with the applicable Country Agreement.

28. | CONTINUED PROVISION OF SERVICES. |
28.1 | Force Majeure. |
(A) | General. |
No Party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under the applicable Country Agreements if and to the extent such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, riots, terrorist attacks, civil disorders, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party (each a “Force Majeure Event”); provided the non-performing Party is without fault in causing such default or delay, and such default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and could not reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing Party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means (including with respect to IBM by IBM meeting its obligations for performing disaster recovery services as described in the applicable Country Agreement).
(B) | Excused Performance. |
In such event the non-performing Party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) 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 shall immediately notify the Party to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within two days of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such delay.
(C) | Federal-Mogul Rights. |
If a Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders or delays performance of the Services necessary for the performance of functions identified by Federal-Mogul as critical in accordance with Exhibit O to the applicable Country Agreement for more than five consecutive days, then at Federal-Mogul’s option: (1) Federal-Mogul may procure such Services from an alternate source, and IBM shall be liable for payment of the charges to such alternate source for the Services (to the extent such charges are reasonable under the circumstances) from the alternate source for up to *** from the date of the initial prevention, hindrance or delay (provided that Federal-Mogul continues to pay IBM the Charges for the Services); (2) Federal-Mogul may terminate such Country Agreement by giving written notice to IBM and paying ***. IBM shall not have the right to any other additional payments from Federal-Mogul for costs or expenses incurred by IBM as a result of any Force Majeure Event.
28.2 | Disaster Recovery. |
(A) IBM shall, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Transition Plan: (1) develop, submit to Federal-Mogul for Federal-Mogul’s review, and implement a disaster recovery plan (“DRP”) acceptable to Federal-Mogul; (2) update and test (at the frequency set forth in Exhibit O to the applicable Country Agreement) the operability of the DRP to validate that the DRP is operational; (3) certify to Federal-Mogul at least once during every 12-month period during the Term that the DRP is operational; and (4) implement the DRP upon the occurrence of a disaster, in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit O to the applicable Country Agreement and the recovery time objectives set forth in Schedule O-1 to Exhibit O of the applicable Country Agreement.
*** | MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
56 | F&A Master Services Agreement |
(B) If, upon the occurrence of a disaster, (1) the Key Critical Services are not reinstated within *** days, (2) the Critical Services are not reinstated within the timeframe agreed upon by the Parties and specified in the DRP, or (3) the remaining Services are not reinstated within the timeframe agreed upon by the Parties and specified in the DRP (but in no event later than 30 days following the occurrence of a disaster), then Federal-Mogul may terminate the applicable Country Agreement. IBM shall not increase its Charges under a Country Agreement or charge Federal-Mogul usage fees in addition to the Charges set forth in Exhibit C to such Country Agreement nor shall Federal-Mogul, ***.
(C) For a period of 30 days following the occurrence of a disaster, (1) IBM shall not be subject to KPI Credits associated with any KPI Defaults that occur during such 30-day period and (2) Federal-Mogul shall not be entitled to terminate any of the Country Agreements that are directly impacted by such disaster pursuant to Section 27.2, provided that IBM is performing the disaster recovery services set forth in Exhibit O and the DRP and using commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Services in accordance with the Service Levels.
29. | DISPUTE RESOLUTION |
Any dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Master Agreement and any Country Agreement, including disputes concerning the interpretation of any provision of this Master Agreement or any Country Agreement and the performance by IBM or Federal-Mogul, shall be resolved as provided in this Article.
29.1 | Informal Dispute Resolution. |
(A) | Procedure. |
The Parties initially shall attempt to resolve their dispute informally, in accordance with the following:
(1) Upon the written request by a Party (“Dispute Date”), each Party shall appoint a designated representative who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to performance under this Master Agreement or the applicable Country Agreement, whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute.
(2) The designated representatives shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue which the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The representatives shall discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.
(3) If the designated representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within 20 days of the Dispute Date, the dispute shall be escalated to the General Manager, Americas, BTO of IBM and the Chief Financial Officer of Federal-Mogul. The senior executives shall meet in person or by telephone conference (if agreed by the Parties) to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.
(4) During the course of the designated representatives and senior executives discussions, all reasonable requests made by a Party to the other for non-privileged information,
*** | MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
57 | F&A Master Services Agreement |
reasonably related to the provision(s) of this Master Agreement or the applicable Country Agreement relating to the dispute, shall be honored in order that a Party may be fully advised of the other’s position.
(5) The specific format for the discussions shall be left to the discretion of the designated representatives and senior executives.
(B) | Escalation. |
Litigation of a dispute may be commenced by either Party upon the earlier to occur of any of the following:
(1) the senior executives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely;
(2) 45 days have elapsed from the Dispute Date (this period shall be deemed to run notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Section was not followed or completed); or
(3) commencement of litigation is appropriate to avoid the expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or a Party makes a good faith determination, including as provided in Section 27.8 respecting Federal-Mogul, that a breach by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is necessary.
29.2 | Jurisdiction. |
The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consent to venue in Detroit, Michigan (and hereby waive any claims of forum non conveniens with respect to such venue) and to the exclusive jurisdiction of competent Michigan state courts or federal courts in the Eastern District of Michigan for all litigation which may be brought with respect to the negotiation, execution, performance, and terms of, and the transactions and relationships contemplated by, this Master Agreement, including the enforceability or validity thereof. The Parties further consent to the jurisdiction of any state court located within a district which encompasses assets of a Party against which a judgment has been rendered for the enforcement of such judgment against the assets of such Party.
29.3 | Continued Performance. |
Each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations under this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements while a dispute is being resolved, except to the extent the issue in dispute precludes performance (dispute over payment shall not be deemed to preclude performance) and without limiting either Party’s right to terminate this Master Agreement as provided in Article 27.
29.4 | Governing Law. |
This Master Agreement and performance under this Master Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the state of Michigan without regard to its choice of law principles. The Parties hereby consent to waive any right either Party may have to a trial by jury as it relates to the determination of the nature and/or amount of damages.
58 | F&A Master Services Agreement |
30. | GENERAL |
30.1 | Binding Nature and Assignment. |
This Master Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Neither Party may, or shall have the power to, assign this Master Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, except that Federal-Mogul may assign its rights and obligations under this Master Agreement without the approval of IBM to an entity which acquires Control of Federal-Mogul or to any subsidiary or Affiliate; provided that in no event shall such assignment relieve Federal-Mogul of its obligations under this Master Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, any assignment by operation of Law, order of any court, or pursuant to any plan of merger, consolidation or liquidation, shall be deemed an assignment for which prior consent is required and any assignment made without any such consent shall be void and of no effect as between the Parties.
30.2 | Entire Agreement; Amendment. |
This Master Agreement and the Country Agreements, including any exhibits and schedules referred to and attached, each of which is incorporated herein for all purposes, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter contained in this Master Agreement and the Country Agreements. No change, waiver, or discharge hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party against which such change, waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced.

30.6 | Severability. |
In the event that any provision of this Master Agreement conflicts with the Law under which this Master Agreement is to be construed or if any such provision is held invalid by a competent authority, such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in accordance with applicable Law. The remainder of this Master Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
30.7 | Consents and Approval. |
Except where expressly provided as being in the discretion of a Party, where agreement, approval, acceptance, consent, or similar action by either Party is required under this Master Agreement, such action shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. An approval or consent given by a Party under this Master Agreement shall not relieve the other Party from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this Master Agreement, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any rights under this Master Agreement, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such approval or consent. Each Party shall, at the request of the other Party, perform those actions, including executing additional documents and instruments, reasonably necessary to give full effect to the terms of this Master Agreement.

A delay or omission by either Party to exercise any right or power under this Master Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver thereof.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all remedies provided for in this Master Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either Party at law or in equity.

With respect to any such media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by IBM, IBM will coordinate with and have all related materials approved in writing by Federal-Mogul’s Director of its Corporate Communications Department.

29.1 | Informal Dispute Resolution. |
(A) | Procedure. |
The Parties initially shall attempt to resolve their dispute informally, in accordance with the following:
(1) Upon the written request by a Party (“Dispute Date”), each Party shall appoint a designated representative who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to performance under this Country Agreement, whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute.
(2) The designated representatives shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue which the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The representatives shall discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.
(3) If the designated representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within 20 days of the Dispute Date, the dispute shall be escalated to the General Manager, Americas, BTO of IBM Parent and the Chief Financial Officer of Federal-Mogul Parent. The senior executives shall meet in person or by telephone conference (if agreed by the Parties) to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.
(4) During the course of the designated representatives and senior executives discussions, all reasonable requests made by a Party to the other for non-privileged information, reasonably related to the provision(s) of this Country Agreement relating to the dispute, shall be honored in order that a Party may be fully advised of the other’s position.
(5) The specific format for the discussions shall be left to the discretion of the designated representatives and senior executives.
(B) | Escalation. |
Litigation of a dispute may be commenced by either Party upon the earlier to occur of any of the following:
(1) the senior executives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely;
(2) 45 days have elapsed from the Dispute Date (this period shall be deemed to run notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Section was not followed or completed); or
8 | Country Agreement (Pro Forma) |
(3) commencement of litigation is appropriate to avoid the expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or a Party makes a good faith determination, including as provided in Section 27.8 respecting Federal-Mogul, that a breach by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is necessary.
29.2 | Jurisdiction. |
The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consent to venue in Detroit, Michigan (and hereby waive any claims of forum non conveniens with respect to such venue) and to the exclusive jurisdiction of competent Michigan state courts or federal courts in the Eastern District of Michigan for all litigation which may be brought with respect to the negotiation, execution, performance, and terms of, and the transactions and relationships contemplated by, this Country Agreement, including the enforceability or validity thereof. The Parties further consent to the jurisdiction of any state court located within a district which encompasses assets of a Party against which a judgment has been rendered for the enforcement of such judgment against the assets of such Party.
29.3 | Continued Performance. |
Each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations under this Country Agreement while a dispute is being resolved, except to the extent the issue in dispute precludes performance (dispute over payment shall not be deemed to preclude performance) and without limiting either Party’s right to terminate this Country Agreement as provided in Article 27.
29.4 | Governing Law. |
This Country Agreement and performance under this Country Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the state of Michigan without regard to its choice of law principles.

For (1) Service Levels set forth in Schedule B-1 for which the Target and Minimum Services Levels are designated as “[TBD]” and (2) for new Service Levels requested by Federal-Mogul Local Entity after the Country Agreement Effective Date, the Target and Minimum Service Levels will be computed as follows:
(A) Where at least *** consecutive months of service measurements exist (as measured by Federal-Mogul Local Entity or IBM Local Entity) for a particular Service:
(1) The Target Service Level shall be established by taking the ***
(2) The Minimum Service Level shall be established by taking the ***
(3) ***
(4) If the Parties agree that any specific ***consecutive month measurement period is not representative of the circumstances under which the associated Services are generally performed, the Parties shall meet to negotiate and determine the appropriate measurement period and Service Level (Target and Minimum) calculation methodology.
(B) Where no service measurements exist for a particular Service, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on a Service Level commitment using industry standard measures (e.g., measures provided by third party experts such as ***). If the Parties are unable to agree upon a Service Level under this Section, then the following shall apply:
(1) Within *** days after Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s request to establish a new Service Level and subject to the Parties agreement on how IBM Local Entity will measure such new Service Level in accordance with the Change Control Procedure, IBM Local Entity shall begin providing monthly measurements of its performance of the applicable Services against such new Service Level.
*** | MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
2 | Exhibit B (Pro Forma) |
(2) After *** or more actual monthly service measurements are provided by IBM Local Entity, Federal-Mogul Local Entity may at any time request in writing that Section 3.1(A) be used to establish the Target Service Level and Minimum Service Level commitment.
(C) After a Target Service Level and Minimum Service Level have been computed under Section 3.1(A) or Section 3.1(B), if Federal-Mogul Local Entity at its sole discretion determines that such Service Levels do not reasonably measure performance of the Service being measured, IBM Local Entity will, at Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s request, measure actual performance against such Service Level for an additional *** months and use the methodology set forth in Section 3.1(A) to recalculate the applicable Target Service Level and Minimum Service Level utilizing the *** months of service measurements.
(D) In no event shall any Minimum Service Level established pursuant to this Article be lower (i.e., worse from Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s perspective) than the level and degree of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and efficiency as was documented and provided prior to the Country Agreement Effective Date by or for Federal-Mogul Local Entity.
3.2 | Deleting Service Levels. |
Federal-Mogul Local Entity may delete Service Levels at any time during the term of the Country Agreement by sending written notice to IBM Local Entity.
3.3 | Modifying Designations and Allocations. |
Federal-Mogul Local Entity may, in its sole discretion: (A) increase or decrease the KPI Credit Percentage for any KPIs; or (B) change the designation of a GPI to a KPI or the designation of a KPI to a GPI; provided: (1) Federal-Mogul Local Entity provides IBM Local Entity with written notice at least *** days prior to the date that such new KPI Credit Percentage or designations are to be effective; (2) the applicable GPI is designated as eligible for promotion to a KPI in Schedule B-1; and (3) Federal-Mogul Local Entity may not send such a notice (which notice may contain multiple changes) more than *** each calendar quarter.
4. | ADJUSTMENTS TO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS |
4.1 | Adjustments to Service Levels. |
The Parties expect and intend that the Service Levels shall be improved over time during the term of the Country Agreement. Accordingly, IBM Local Entity shall research and propose reasonable improvements to the Services (with appropriate modifications to the applicable Service Levels) at least *** each year. At a minimum, IBM Local Entity shall provide continuous quality assurance and quality improvement through the identification and application of proven techniques and tools from other installations within its operations that would benefit Federal-Mogul Local Entity either operationally or financially and shall implement programs, practices, processes and measures designed at a minimum to (A) enable IBM Local Entity to perform the Services in accordance with the Country Agreement, and (B) improve the Service Levels. Such improvements shall not be implemented or become effective until agreed upon by the Parties through the Change Control Procedure. Other occasions on which the Parties shall review and make appropriate adjustments to the Service Levels include the provision of New Services, the introduction of new Equipment, Software, methodologies or procedures used to perform the Services, and the automatic adjustment to the Service Levels subject to Continuous Improvement in accordance with Section 4.2.
*** | MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |

4.5 | Phase III Transition Project Adjustments. |
Upon each Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, the Total Annual Forecasted Baseline Volumes (“AFBV”) for each Resource Unit shall be adjusted as follows:
(A) In the event that *** months of historical volume measurements are available for a Resource Unit prior to the applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, these volumes (each an “Actual Phase III AFBV”) shall be added to the existing AFBV under the Base Services (“Base Services AFBV”) and any prior-completed Phase III Wave to establish the revised Total Annual Forecasted Baseline Volumes (each a “Revised AFBV”). By way of example, following the Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date for Phase III Wave 2, the Revised AFBV shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Revised AFBV (by Resource Unit)
=
Base Services AFBV (by Resource Unit)
+
Actual Phase III Wave 1 AFBV (by Resource Unit)
+
Actual Phase III Wave 2 AFBV (by Resource Unit)
Immediately following each Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, the Parties shall agree to update Schedule C-2.1, Schedule C-2.3, Schedule C-2.4, and Schedule C-2.5 to reflect such Revised AFBV for each applicable Resource Unit. The Parties shall also use the agreed-upon Revised AFBV measurements to establish the revised Total Quarterly Forecasted Baseline Volumes (QFBV) for each applicable Resource Unit (each a “Revised QFBV”) and update Schedule C-2.1, Schedule C-2.3, Schedule C-2.4 and Schedule C-2.5 accordingly.
(B) In the event that *** months of historical volume measurements are not available for a Resource Unit prior to the applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, the Actual Phase III Wave AFBV will be established in accordance with the following:
(1) For a period of *** months (the “Validation Period”) following the applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, IBM Local Entity will measure and report the utilization volume for each applicable Resource Unit on a monthly basis;
*** | MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT |
5 | Exhibit C (Pro Forma) |
(2) Upon completion of the Validation Period for each applicable Resource Unit, the Parties shall agree on the appropriate Actual Phase III AFBV by extrapolating the six months of measured Resource Unit utilization volumes, taking into account other pertinent factors such as seasonality. Once an appropriate Actual Phase III AFBV is agreed, the Revised AFBV shall be established in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 4.5(A). The Parties agree to update Schedule C-2.1, Schedule C-2.3, Schedule C-2.4 and Schedule C-2.5 to reflect such Revised AFBV for each applicable Resource Unit in respect of each applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date. The Parties shall also use the agreed-upon Revised AFBV measurements to establish the revised Quarterly Forecasted Baseline Volumes for each applicable Resource Unit (each a “Revised QFBV”) and update Schedule C-2.1, Schedule C-2.3, Schedule C-2.4 and Schedule C-2.5 accordingly.
(3) During the Validation Period the Phase III Wave As-Sold MSC, as set forth in Schedule C-1.1, shall be charged on a monthly basis in addition to the Base Services MSC as set forth in Schedule C-1.2 and any previously completed Phase III Wave MSC (each, a “Revised Phase III Wave MSC”) as set forth in Schedule C-1.1.
(4) In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the appropriate Actual Phase III Wave AFBV pursuant to Section 4.5(B)(2), the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article 29 of the Country Agreement. While such dispute is being resolved, IBM Local Entity will continue to charge Federal-Mogul Local Entity on a monthly basis, the MSC including the Base Services MSC and any Revised Phase III Wave MSCs and the Phase III As-Sold MSC charged during the Validation Period.
(C) Pursuant to each Phase III Wave adjustment, the Revised AFBV established in accordance with this Section for each such Wave shall remain fixed and shall not be changed as part of any subsequent Phase III Wave adjustment.
4.6 | Phase III ASC and Resource Unit Rate Adjustments. |
(A) Upon the establishment of the Revised AFBV for each Resource Unit and year in accordance with Section 4.5, the Resource Unit Rate for each applicable Resource Unit shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula (each a “Revised Resource Unit Rate”):
Revised Resource Unit Rate (by Resource Unit)
=
Revised ASC (by Resource Unit)/Revised AFBV (by Resource Unit)
where:
Revised ASC (by Resource Unit)
=
Base Services ASC (by Resource Unit)
+
[(Actual Phase III AFBV for Phase III Wave 1 (by Resource Unit)) * Phase III Wave RUR(Phase III Wave 1))]
+
[(Actual Phase III AFBV for Phase III Wave 2 (by Resource Unit) * Phase III Wave RUR(Phase III Wave 2))]
(if implemented))
+
(Actual Phase III AFBV for Phase III Wave 3 (by Resource Unit) * Phase III Wave RUR(Phase III Wave 3)]
(if implemented))
6 | Exhibit C (Pro Forma) |
(B) The Resource Unit Rates set forth in Schedule C-1.5 for each Phase III Wave are based on the Phase III Wave Cut-Over dates set forth in Schedule C-1.5. To the extent such Phase III Wave Cut-Over Dates prove to be incorrect, the applicable Phase III Wave RURs shall be adjusted using the adjustment formula set forth in Schedule C-8 to reflect any advanced or delayed Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date, without changing relative year-over-year pricing differences set forth in the Phase III Resource Unit Rates in Schedule C-1.5. By way of clarification, Schedule C-8 sets forth examples of the calculation of such Phase III Wave RUR adjustments.
(C) Following the calculation of the Revised Resource Unit Rate pursuant to this Section, Schedule C-1.4 shall be updated to reflect the revised ARC and RRC Unit Rates (Tier 1 and Tier 2) for each applicable Resource Unit.
(D) In the event that the Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date falls after the first business day of the quarter:
(1) The Resource Unit Rates in effect prior to the applicable Phase III Transition Project Charges adjustments shall be used for ARC and RRC calculations during the quarter that the applicable Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date occurred.
(E) In the event that the Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date falls on the first business day of the quarter:
(1) The applicable Revised Resource Unit Rates shall be used for the calculation of ARC and RRC Charges for that quarter.
(F) On each Phase III Wave Cut-Over Date for Phase III Wave 1 and Phase III Wave 2 the Revised ASC shall be calculated per Section 4.6. The Phase III Wave MSC shall be calculated by dividing the Phase III Wave ASC by the number of months remaining in the calendar year. Subject to Section 4.5(B)(3), the Revised Monthly Service Charge shall be calculated using the following calculation;
Revised Monthly Service Charge
=
Base Services MSC
+
Revised Phase III Wave MSC for Phase III Wave 1
+
Revised Phase III Wave MSC for Phase III Wave 2 (if implemented)
+
Revised Phase III Wave MSC for Phase III Wave 3 (if implemented)
(G) On the Phase III Wave 3 Cut-Over Date, the Revised MSC shall be set for the remainder of the term of the Country Agreement and shall be charged monthly by dividing the total ASC for all Implementation Phases for each remaining calendar year of the term of the Country Agreement
7 | Exhibit C (Pro Forma) |
by the corresponding number of months remaining in each calendar year of the term of the Country Agreement.
4.7 | Adjustment to the Charges Prior to the Commencement Date of the Base Services. |
In the event that the number of Federal-Mogul Service Locations included in the Base Services changes (i.e., increases or decreases) prior to the Commencement Date, the AFBV, QFBV, ASC, Resource Unit Rates, ARCs and RRCs shall be adjusted using the ARC and RRC Rates for Base Services established in Schedule C-1.4.
4.8 | Exceeding Resource Baseline Tier 2 Boundaries. |
In the event that Federal-Mogul Local Entity’s actual number of Resource Units is, or is reasonably expected to be *** percent greater or *** percent less than the applicable Quarterly Forecasted Baseline Volume for that Resource Unit, then either Party shall, within 15 business days after receiving written notice from the other Party of such occurrence, meet, negotiate and implement appropriate amendments to this Exhibit, including adjusting Annual Service Charges, the applicable AFBV and QFBV, Resource Unit Rates and the applicable ARC Unit Rates and RRC Unit Rates through the Change Control Procedure. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such matters within 30 days of either Party’s receipt of the notice provided for herein, then the matter shall be referred to dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of Article 29 of the Country Agreement. While such dispute is being resolved, IBM Local Entity will continue to calculate ARCs and RRCs at the existing ARC Unit Rates and RRC Unit Rates.
5. | T&E CHARGES |
5.1 | T&E Legacy Charges. |
For up to *** months following the Commencement Date (the “T&E Legacy Period”), IBM Local Entity shall, on a monthly basis, invoice Federal-Mogul Local Entity for the T&E Legacy Fixed Charge set forth in Schedule C-10 for the provision of the T&E Legacy System Services. Federal-Mogul Local Entity may, at any time prior to the expiration of the T&E Legacy Period, notify IBM Local Entity that the provision of the T&E Legacy System Services is no longer required and, upon such notification shall cease payment of the T&E Legacy Fixed Charges set forth in Schedule C-10 for the remaining months of the T&E Legacy Period.
