I. | Changes to the Master Services Agreement |
A. | MSA Section 6.1.5 is added to the MSA as follows: | ||
“6.1.5 — The following time periods are applicable for the events described below: | |||
(a) If CSC fails to invoice Textron for any amount for Services other than telecommunication related Services within [***] after the month in which the Services in question are rendered (the “Cutoff Period”), CSC shall waive any right it may otherwise have to invoice for and collect such amount. If the Parties agree to delay invoicing for any reason, the Cutoff Period will commence on the day when CSC is entitled to invoice. | |||
(b) To the extent Textron fails to dispute an invoice via an email properly addressed and sent to the applicable CSC Account Executive during the applicable Cutoff Period, which email shall specify in reasonable detail the amounts in dispute and the basis for the dispute, whether the dispute is due to asserted computational error, entitlement to Service Credits (as that term is used in Schedule A of the MSA) or otherwise, Textron shall waive any right it may otherwise have to dispute the invoice or otherwise be entitled to Service Credits or other offsets, credits, or reductions. It is the intent of the Parties that the Invoice Dispute Log and associated processes shall continue in use as a mechanism to address disputes. | |||
(c) The foregoing (a) and (b) shall also apply to telecommunication related Services, except that the Cutoff Period shall be [***] reduced to [***] for telecommunication related Services rendered after July 1, 2008. |

(d) If a Cutoff Period would otherwise expire without Textron having a minimum of [***] after the receipt of an invoice to dispute the invoice, the applicable Cutoff Period related to that invoice shall be extended solely for the purpose of providing Textron with such [***] after the receipt of an invoice to email the applicable CSC Account Executive with any dispute using the procedure set forth in this Amendment. | |||
(e) Cutoff Periods shall not be applicable to invoicing for any amounts agreed to be paid under a letter agreement between the Parties dated March 13, 2008. | |||
(f) CSC’s right to invoice within the applicable Cutoff Period shall apply to Services rendered prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement provided the Services rendered are within the applicable Cutoff Period, except no Cutoff Period shall be applicable to those items in subsection (e) of this Section 6.1.5. | |||
