(xiv) the entities that
will be providing Services.
(c) The
parties to each Statement of Work will modify any provisions of this Agreement
to the extent necessary to comply with the local Laws of the country in which
such Statement of Work is executed or the local Laws of the country or
countries where the Services are rendered while reflecting, to the maximum
extent possible, the intent of the Parties reflected herein.
2.3 Order of Precedence.
(a) In
the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the terms and conditions of a Future SOW, the terms and
conditions of such Future SOW will prevail if the Future SOW specifically
references the provisions of this Agreement that are inconsistent therewith. Each Future SOW will be deemed to incorporate
by reference the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the applicable
Future SOW expressly states otherwise.
(b) In
the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the terms and conditions of a Transferred SOW, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement will prevail and the terms of any Change Order
shall prevail over both the Transferred SOW and this Agreement. Each Transferred SOW will be deemed to
incorporate by reference the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(c) All
master services agreements between the Transferred BPO Business and members of
the Customer Group shall terminate as of the Effective Date. However, notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything else in this Agreement or in any other agreement, no agreement between
the Transferred BPO Business and any member of the Customer Group or any
Transferred SOW thereunder shall be modified or terminated before receiving all
required approvals from Governmental Entities and other entities having
contractual consent rights. The Customer
Group and Provider shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any such required
government approvals and, pending such approvals, the parties shall continue to
operate under such existing agreements without amendment. Any amounts paid under any existing
agreements will be counted toward the MVC and Provider and the Customer Group
shall make a financial adjustment so that Provider receives the benefit of its
bargain as reflected in this Agreement and the Transferred SOW without taking
into account this Section 2.3(c).
(d) For
Transferred SOWs, to the extent (i) Providers obligations to comply with the
provisions and requirements of Section 9.7 (Electronic Invoicing); 10.1
(Books and Records), 10.4 (Reporting), 13.1 (Data), 13.5(b)
(Customer Group Policies), 13.6 (Security Standards), 14.1 (Cooperation
by Parties) and 17.8 (Additional Acts) (as those provisions and
requirements exist as of the Effective Date) or (ii) Provider and the Customer
Party agree to implement improved practices in respect of Section 15.2
(Compliance with Laws) and Section 16.2 (Data Protection) are materially
in excess (on a Transferred SOW-by-Transferred SOW

basis) of the practice of the Transferred BPO Business prior to the Effective
Date and the cost of such obligations as reflected in the Financial Statements
of the Transferred BPO Business, and the excess is identified during the period
between the Effective Date and June 30, 2006, the parties to the Transferred
SOW will discuss the potential increased costs and methods for reducing those
costs and either, at the sole discretion of GE or the Customer Party, (A) GE or
the Customer Party will agree to amend the Transferred SOW (for the remainder
of its term) to require payment of additional compensation in an amount equal
to the reasonable increased cost of complying with each such obligation after
the Effective Date as compared to the associated costs reflected in the
Financial Statements of the Transferred BPO Business; or (B) GE and the
Customer Party will agree to amend the Transferred SOW (for the remainder of
its term) (which may involve a change in level or method of providing Services)
so those obligations are not materially in excess of the practice of the
Transferred BPO Business prior to the Effective Date and the cost of such
obligations as reflected in the Financial Statements of the Transferred BPO
Business. This provision will not apply
to any excess that was not either discussed between Provider and the Customer Group
or notified by Provider to GE and the Customer Party on or prior to June 30,
2006.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything else in this Agreement or a Customer SOW to the contrary, the order of
precedence set forth in this Section 2.3 shall control.
2.4 Divestitures. In the event that any member of the Customer
Group directly or indirectly divests more than fifty percent (50%) of its
equity interest in a Customer Party or sells all or substantially all of the
assets of such Customer Party, such Customer Party may assign, upon notice, its
rights under the Customer SOW to the acquirer or divested entity, as may be
appropriate, in which case Provider will continue to provide services in
accordance with the applicable Customer SOW to the acquirer or divested entity,
as may be appropriate, and the acquirer or divested entity will assume the
responsibilities and obligations of the Customer Party under the applicable
Customer SOW. If appropriate, Provider
and the acquirer will negotiate any modifications (including to reflect
increased or decreased fees resulting from increased or decreased costs to
Provider (including the costs of the Affiliated Providers calculated so as not
to include any cost twice and without any markup between Affiliated Providers
and Provider) reasonably necessary to account for the fact that the acquirer
may not be an Affiliate of GE and thus certain provisions of this Agreement may
not be appropriate.
2.5 Independent Contractor. Provider will remain for all purposes an
independent contractor under this Agreement and the Customer SOWs. The Customer Group or Provider (as the case
may be) will have no power (and will not represent that it has any power) under
this Agreement or the Customer SOWs to bind the other party or to assume or
create any obligations, express or implied, on behalf of the other party. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to
constitute or will be construed as constituting a partnership, joint venture or
principal-agency relationship between the Customer Group and Provider. All Provider personnel, including any
subcontractors permitted hereunder, will be considered solely Providers
employees or agents, and Provider will be responsible for (i) compliance with
all Laws relating

to such personnel and (ii) payment of all wages, Taxes and other costs
and expenses relating to such personnel (including unemployment, social
security and other payroll taxes) and compliance with all withholding
requirements as required by Law. No
Provider personnel will have any right to payment of wages, Taxes or any other
costs or expenses directly from any member of the Customer Group.
2.6 Locations. All Services will be provided from (i)
Providers or the Affiliated Providers facilities located in India, China,
Hungary or Mexico, (ii) such other facilities of Provider or the Affiliated
Providers that the Parties agree upon in writing, including in any Customer
SOW, or (iii) if required by a Customer SOW, the Customer Groups facilities.
2.7 Materials. Unless otherwise set forth in any Customer
SOW, Provider will provide or arrange for all of its telecommunications
services, data services, facilities, materials, hardware, Software and other
requirements in order to perform the Services.
2.8 Provider Not Precluded from Providing Services to
Third Parties. Subject to
Articles XVII (Ownership; Intellectual Property) and Article XXI
(Confidentiality), nothing in this Agreement will preclude or otherwise limit
in any way Providers right to provide services of any kind or nature
whatsoever to any third party.
2.9 Assignment of Transferred SOWs. Provider will use commercially reasonable
efforts to document the assignment of the Transferred SOWs from the Transferred
BPO Business to Provider promptly after the Effective Date on terms such that
Provider and the Customer Party receive the benefit of their bargain as
reflected in this Agreement and the Transferred SOWs.
2.10 GE ITS SOWs. In the event that any GE ITS SOW is not
assigned to Company within three (3) months after the Effective Date, the
Customer Group may, upon written notice to Provider, enter into a Statement of
Work with Provider that has substantially similar Services and is on
substantially the same terms as such GE ITS SOW. Provider and the notifying Customer Group
member agree to accept such Statement of Work, and such Statement of Work will
be deemed a Transferred SOW for all purposes under this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE OF DELIVERABLES
3.1 Sections
3.1 through 3.5 will apply only to Project Deliverables generally
and to those Project Deliverables in particular for which testing and review is
appropriate and Deliverables under Future SOWs under which testing and review
of Deliverables is appropriate (collectively, Tested Deliverables). In addition, Sections 3.1 through 3.5
will be superseded for any Project or non-Project Transferred SOW by any
provisions regarding testing and review contained in that Transferred SOW. At the request of any Customer Party,
Provider will provide such Customer Party with testing results or other data
sufficient to verify that each Tested

Deliverable conforms to the applicable Performance Standards set forth
in the applicable Customer SOW. Provider
will promptly provide written notice to the Customer Party upon the completion
of a Tested Deliverable under a Customer SOW (or, if such Customer SOW requires
that the Tested Deliverable be installed at such Customer Partys site, upon
the successful installation of such Tested Deliverable), and will promptly
deliver such Tested Deliverable to such Customer Party (unless such Tested
Deliverable has already been installed at such Customer Partys site). To the extent possible, Provider will deliver
electronic versions of Tested Deliverables to the Customer Party.
3.2 Each
Customer Party will also have the right to conduct its own testing and review
of each Tested Deliverable upon receipt of such written notice. Provider agrees to assist such Customer Party
as reasonably requested by such Customer Party in the performance of such
testing and review, and to cooperate with other vendors and suppliers of the
Customer Group in the conduct of such testing and review. Such testing and review conditions will
reasonably reflect the actual environments in which such Tested Deliverable is
likely to be used, and will include testing and review of such Tested
Deliverable with networks, hardware and Software with which such Tested
Deliverable is designed to operate.
3.3 Such
Customer Party may, in its sole discretion, (i) elect to accept such Tested
Deliverable, (ii) reject it due to a failure of such Tested Deliverable to
comply with the applicable specifications and acceptance criteria specified in
the applicable Customer SOW in any material respect, or (iii) reasonably
request additional Information, documents or materials from Provider should
further testing and review be required in order to determine whether such
Tested Deliverable complies with the applicable specifications and acceptance
criteria specified in the applicable Customer SOW in all material respects. If such Customer Party rejects such Tested
Deliverable, it will provide a written notice of rejection to Provider or its
designee specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such failure. Provider will correct any such failure and
provide such Customer Party with a revised Tested Deliverable as soon as
practicable but, unless otherwise agreed in writing, no later than thirty (30)
days after its receipt of the notice of rejection from such Customer Party. Such Customer Party will have the right to
accept or reject the corrected Tested Deliverable in accordance with this Article
III (Testing and Acceptance of Deliverables). If such Customer Party determines that
Provider has not corrected any such failure, such Customer Party may elect to (a)
terminate the applicable Customer SOW or (b) hire a third party to correct such
failure under reasonable terms and conditions, at Providers expense; provided,
however, that such Customer Party, to the extent practical, shall give
due consideration to using a third party proposed by Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Customer
Partys and Providers compliance with this Article III (Testing and
Acceptance of Deliverables) will not relieve Provider of any of its
representations, warranties and obligations contained herein or in any Customer
SOW. If Provider or its designee
receives a request for further Information, documents or materials from such
Customer Party, Provider will evaluate such request and determine the best
approach for providing the requested Information, documents and materials, and
produce the requested Information, documents and materials within a reasonable

time period agreed upon between Provider and such Customer Party (which
will in no event exceed fifteen (15) Business Days).
3.4 If,
within ninety (90) days (or such longer period as may be agreed upon in a
Customer SOW) of receipt by such Customer Party of the written notice described
under Section 3.1, such Customer Party has not (i) provided written
notice to Provider or Providers designee of the Customer Partys acceptance of
such Tested Deliverable, (ii) provided written notice of rejection to Provider
in accordance with the foregoing, or (iii) requested additional Information,
documents or materials from Provider or its designee in accordance with the
foregoing, then such Tested Deliverable will be deemed to have been accepted by
such Customer Party.
3.5 In
the event that one or more Tested Deliverables are to be used together by such
Customer Party, after such Customer Partys acceptance of such Tested
Deliverables individually, such Customer Party will have the right to perform
an integrated acceptance test of all such Tested Deliverables together in
accordance with Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.
3.6 For
non-Project Transferred SOWs that have not reached all production and non-Project
Future SOWs, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties as of the Effective
Date, Provider will utilize the migration/transition toolkit used by the
Transferred BPO Business prior to the Effective Date, agree with the Customer
Party on performance standards, baseline those performance standards and,
unless otherwise agreed with the Customer Party, conduct a pilot program as a tollgate
before the process moves to production, all consistent with the conduct of the
Transferred BPO Business prior to the Effective Date.
ARTICLE IV

such Services. Subject to Section 11.9
(Volume Fluctuations), the Customer Party may increase or decrease the number

the Transferred BPO Business prior to the Effective Date. Without the consent of Provider, no changes
may be made to the Performance Standards or price per FTE under the Transferred
SOWs, except as provided in Article VII.

changes (including associated changes, if any, in Fees and Performance
Standards); and (iv) a timetable for implementation of the changes. Change Orders may also contain provisions
relating to the specifications and acceptance criteria of the requested
changes.
4.3 With
respect to any such change, amendment, alteration or other modification to a
Customer SOW, the following procedures will apply (the Change Order
Procedures):
(a) a
party to such Customer SOW will notify the other party thereto that it desires
to make a change, amendment, alteration or other modification to such Customer
SOW;
(b) such
parties will discuss such change, amendment, alteration or other modification
within ten (10) Business Days after such request;
(c) within
ten (10) Business Days after such discussion, (i) if such requesting party is a
Customer Party, such Customer Party will make a written request to Provider for
such a change, amendment, alteration or other modification, and Provider will,
unless otherwise agreed upon, submit a proposed Change Order to such Customer
Party within ten (10) Business Days after such written request; or (ii) if
Provider is such requesting party, Provider will provide a proposed Change
Order to the Customer Party. Each such
proposed Change Order will be signed by Provider and will constitute a firm offer
by Provider until the date that Provider specifies as the expiration of
validity of the proposed Change Order (which will not be fewer than ten (10)
Business Days); and
(d) within
such period of validity of such proposed Change Order, the Customer Party will
evaluate such proposed Change Order and, as appropriate, either request further
information, approve the Change Order, or notify Provider of the rejection of
the Change Order. The signing of the
Change Order by such Customer Party will signify acceptance of a change by the
parties to the Customer SOW. If such
change is rejected, such parties will enter further discussions and adhere to
the dispute resolution procedures described in Section 22.5 (Dispute
Resolution).
4.4 Temporary Emergency Changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may
make temporary changes to the Services required by an emergency if Provider has
been unable to contact the appropriate representative under the applicable
Customer SOW to obtain approval after making reasonable efforts. Provider shall document and report such
emergency changes to such representative no later than the next Business Day
after the changes are made. Such changes
shall not be implemented on a permanent basis unless and until approved via the
Change Order Procedures. A Customer
Party shall not be obligated to pay any amounts with respect to such changes
without its approval or its determination, not to be unreasonably withheld,
that such changes were reasonably required.
In addition, any Customer Party may, if it is subject to an emergency
warranting on a temporary basis Services additional to those provided under the
applicable Customer SOW, acquire such Services and Provider will use

best efforts to the extent of a similarly situated provider of services
to accommodate any such emergency request for additional Services and charge
the Customer Party at a rate not to exceed the amounts specified in the
Customer SOW plus an additional amount not to exceed Providers incremental
cost (including the Affiliated Providers incremental cost, calculated so as
not to include any incremental cost twice and without any markup between
Affiliated Providers and Provider) incremental cost associated with the
emergency nature of the assignment; provided that no such Customer-initiated emergency
arrangement shall be effective for more than ten (10) Business Days without
approval through the Change Order Procedures.
ARTICLE V

5.3 Service Delivery Leaders. For certain mutually agreed upon Businesses
and certain mutually agreed upon Categories of Service, the Customer Group and
Provider will designate an individual (each a Service Delivery Leader)
to serve on its behalf as a primary contact between the Customer Group and
Provider. Each Service Delivery Leader

ARTICLE VI
BUSINESS VOLUME COMMITMENT
6.1 Minimum Volume Commitment. For the five (5)-calendar year period
beginning on January 1, 2005 (the Minimum Volume Commitment Term), the
Customer Group will purchase from Provider Services that would result in an
aggregate minimum annual purchase dollar volume to Provider under all Customer
SOWs of $360 million (Minimum Volume Commitment).
6.2 Ramp Down Volume. For the three (3)-year period following the
Minimum Volume Commitment Term (the Ramp Down Term and collectively
with the Minimum Volume Commitment Term, the MVC Term), the Customer
Group will purchase Services from Provider that would result in a minimum
annual purchase dollar volume to Provider of: (a) $270 million in the sixth
year of the Term, (b) $180 million in the seventh year of the Term, and (c) $90
million in the eighth year of the Term (Ramp Down MVC and collectively
with the Minimum Volume Commitment, the MVCs).
6.3 Reduction of MVCs.
(a) The
MVCs will only be:
(i) reduced by the purchase dollar volume of any
Customer SOW or Services terminated by the Customer Group with Cause (subject
to Section 11.3 (h)) for each year of the remaining term (excluding any
renewal period) of such Customer SOW or Services (or one (1) year if no term is
set forth in the applicable Customer SOW);
(ii) reduced by the revenues attributable to any
Sweet Spot Services that the Customer Group offers to Provider from and after
the date that Customer Group actually acquires such Sweet Spot Services from a
third party and that Provider either (i) declines or (ii) offers to perform at
rates exceeding the Benchmark Rates; provided, however, that
after January 1, 2006, in the event the annual revenue run rate (on a trailing
twelve (12) month basis) for all Customer SOWs is one hundred fifteen percent
(115%) or more than the MVC, this Section 6.3(a)(ii) shall not be
applied to reduce the MVC. For purposes
of this provision, Benchmark Rates means, (1) for Services already
offered under a Transferred SOW on terms (including subcontracting
relationships) comparable to those offered to Provider, the rates set forth in
the most comparable Transferred SOW (as may be reasonably determined by
Provider and GE); and (2)for services not already offered under a Transferred
SOW on terms (including subcontracting relationships) comparable to those
offered to Provider, market rates for such services of similar quality under
similar terms offered by a similarly situated supplier established pursuant to
neutral benchmarking procedures to be agreed to by Provider and the Customer
Party. Disputes over the Benchmark Rates
shall be resolved through the dispute resolution procedures described in Section
22.5 (Dispute Resolution);

(iii) reduced by the purchase dollar volumes of any
Customer SOW or Services that Provider has been unable to perform pursuant to,
or unable to provide for more than one hundred eighty (180) days as the result
of, a Force Majeure Event of Provider or an Affiliated Provider for each year
that the term (without any renewal period) of such Customer SOW or Services (or
the Term, if no term is set forth in the applicable Customer SOW) would have
extended had such Customer SOW or Services not been terminated; and
(iv) reduced by the purchase dollar volume of any
Customer SOW or Services terminated by the Customer Group for a Change of
Control as provided in Section 11.5 (Termination upon a Provider Change
of Control by the Customer Group) for each year of the remaining term
(excluding any renewal period) of such Customer SOW or Services (or one year if
no term is set forth in the applicable Customer SOW).
(b) For
the purposes of this Section 6.3 (Reduction of MVCs), purchase dollar
volumes for any terminated or suspended Services will be determined (i) based
on any actual purchase dollar volumes set forth in the applicable Customer SOW
less any amounts already paid thereunder, or (ii) if no purchase dollar volumes
are set forth in the applicable Customer SOW, projected for the remaining term
based on the Fees due to the Provider during the prior twelve (12) month period
for such Services or such lesser period as is available if a twelve (12) month
period is not available (pro-rated as applicable).
(c) Unless
expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, references to the Minimum Volume
Commitment, Ramp Down MVC, and MVCs will mean such terms as adjusted in
accordance with this Section 6.3 (Reduction of MVCs).
6.4 Determining Actual Purchase Dollar Volumes.
(a) During
the MVC Term, the Parties will determine the actual purchase dollar volume of
the Customer Group on an annual calendar-year basis in accordance with the
methodology set forth on Exhibit C and other methodologies agreed upon
by the Parties in writing.
(b) For
purposes of the MVCs:
(i) any Transaction Productivity payments or
adjustments provided to the Customer Group will be deducted from the
calculation of the purchase dollar volume;
(ii) purchasing of services by any member of the
Customer Group (a) from Provider, whether under this Agreement or another
agreement, and (b) under any GE ITS SOW that is not assigned to Provider shall
be included on a dollar-for-dollar basis (notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in any Customer SOW) in the calculation of the MVC; provided, however,
that the purchase dollar volume from an entity that

becomes a
member of the Customer Group after the Effective Date that was not previously a
member of the Customer Group shall only apply to the extent purchasing (on an
annual basis) is at a level exceeding the level (on a trailing twelve (12)
month basis) existing immediately prior to its becoming a member of the
Customer Group;
(iii) the purchase dollar volume to Provider from
any statements of work entered into with a divested business pursuant to
Section 2.4 (Divestitures) (or any renewal or extension thereof) will be
included in the calculation of the amount of the purchase dollar volume of the
Customer Group;
(iv) any Transition Services, termination services
and capital expenditures that are billed to the Customer Group at the actual
costs incurred by Provider (including the Affiliated Providers calculated so as
not to include any costs twice and without any markup between Affiliated
Providers and Provider; and not including any mark-ups or margins on such costs
or any mark-ups or margins which may be included in the price per FTE specified
in the applicable Customer SOW), will not be counted towards the annual
purchase dollar volume; and
(v) amounts invoiced in currencies other than
dollars will be converted to dollars on a quarterly basis at the prevailing
exchange rate on the last day of each calendar quarter as reported in The Wall Street Journal for all Services performed during
such quarter.
6.5 MVC Shortfall and Excess Adjustments.
(a) Subject
to Sections 6.5(c) and (d) (MVC Shortfall and Excess Adjustments),
in the event Providers actual purchase dollar volume from the Customer Group
for any calendar year during the MVC Term is below the applicable MVC for such
year, GE will pay to Provider (within ninety (90) days of the end of such
calendar year) a pricing adjustment for the Services provided to the Customer
Group in such year in an amount equal to (i) (a) the amount of such shortfall multiplied
by [[[***]]]. Provider shall use
reasonable good faith efforts to mitigate any Stranded Costs including efforts
to redeploy any effected employees, facility, hardware or equipment in
connection with Providers and the Affiliated Providers then-current business. GE acknowledges that it is Providers
expectation that GE actually purchase the minimum level of Services rather than
pay such shortfall amount, while Provider acknowledges that GEs only binding
commitment is either to purchase the MVC level of Services or to pay the amount
detailed in clauses (i) and (ii). GE
will make efforts in good faith to reach the MVCs through requests for actual
service, rather than pay such shortfall amount.
(b) In
the event Providers actual purchase dollar volume from the Customer Group for
any calendar year during the MVC Term exceeds the applicable MVCs, the amount
of such excess, up to 5% of the then-applicable MVC, will be credited against
any shortfalls in the MVCs in each of the following two (2) years or up to 10%
of the then-applicable MVC will be
[[[***]]] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS HAVE BEEN REDACTED AND

23
credited against any shortfalls in the MVCs in the following year, with
the choice being in the sole discretion of GE.
(c) In
the event Providers actual purchase dollar volume at any point during the MVC
Term from the Customer Group is below the applicable MVC for such year in whole
or in part because of services suspended or terminated by reason of a Force
Majeure Event (i) of Provider (or an Affiliated Provider) that prevented such
entity from providing Services for one hundred eighty (180) days or less or
(ii) of the Customer Group that entitled the Customer Group to suspend receipt
of Services, the Customer Group shall not be liable for any MVC shortfall (or
obligated to make any payment under Section 6.5(a)) resulting in whole
or in part from the reduction in purchase dollar volume for a period of up to
one (1) year from the date such entity becomes able to resume the suspended or
terminated Services or the Customer Group has resumed operations that were the
subject of the suspended or terminated Services, but the Customer Group shall
replace any difference between the amounts that would have been required to be
purchased under the applicable MVC and the actual amounts purchased (the FM
Shortfall Amount). The FM Shortfall
Amount will be calculated in total dollars, not dollars per year, and will
represent any amount of revenue that Provider would have been entitled to
receive because of the applicable MVC, but did not receive, by reason of the
Force Majeure Event. All FM Shortfall
Amounts accruing from Force Majeure Events taking place within one year shall
be aggregated together into a single FM Shortfall Amount. The Customer Group shall purchase from
Provider Services under all Customer SOWs that would result in aggregate dollar
volume equal to the FM Shortfall Amount in addition to its obligation regarding
the applicable MVC beginning in the second calendar year following the Force
Majeure Event according to the following schedule, there being no penalty for
early purchasing of the required amounts:
(i) [[[***]]]
If the periods over which the FM Shortfall Amount is to be purchased
would extend beyond the Term, the portion of the FM Shortfall Amount that would
extend beyond the end of the Term will instead be purchased in the last
calendar year of the Term. If a Force
Majeure Event occurs mid-year, the foregoing amounts shall be pro-rated so that
the multi-year periods specified above beginning at the time of the Force
Majeure Event are allocated across the calendar years to which the MVCs apply. The remedy for failure to purchase any FM
Shortfall Amount will be the same as the remedy applying to an MVC shortfall
under Section 6.5(a).
(d) In
the event a Force Majeure Event of the Customer Group for which purchasing of
Services was suspended or terminated does not prevent Customer Group from
fulfilling the applicable MVC, the Customer Party shall use good faith efforts
to recommence its purchasing of Services under the applicable Customer SOW to
the extent that after the remediation of such Force Majeure Event the Customer
Party requires such Services or substantially similar services.

RIGHT OF FIRST OPPORTUNITY
8.1 If,
during the Term, GE or any of its Controlled Affiliates proposes to outsource
to a third party (i.e., other
than a GE Affiliate) any Additional Service (other than an Additional Service
originally acquired from Provider but terminated for Cause), then GE or such
Controlled Affiliate will first issue to Provider a request for proposal with
respect to such Additional Service. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall GE or any of its Controlled Affiliates have
any obligation to make any offer with respect to its actual or proposed
acquisition of services substantially similar to those provided to the Customer
Group by any third party suppliers or vendors of the Customer Group prior to
the Effective Date, from the supplier or vendor that supplied such services prior
to the Effective Date.

8.4 If
Provider delivers a proposed Statement of Work to, as applicable, GE or such
Controlled Affiliate within the Exclusive Tender Period, then GE or such
Controlled Affiliate will consider such proposed Statement of Work in good faith;
provided, however, that this Article VIII will not operate so as
to prevent GE or such Controlled Affiliate from soliciting proposals from, or
negotiating with, third parties concerning the provision of any Additional
Service after the Exclusive Tender Period.
8.5 If,
at the end of the Exclusive Tender Period, GE or such Controlled Affiliate and
Provider have not agreed on terms of Providers Statement of Work for the
Additional Services, GE or such Controlled Affiliate may solicit bids from
other third party providers. GE or such
Controlled Affiliate will not supply any information provided by Provider
pursuant to its bid for Additional Services to any third party provider, and
such information shall be Confidential Information of Provider.
ARTICLE IX

For each Customer SOW, the Customer Group will pay the fees, costs and
expenses to Provider (Fees) set forth in this Section 9.1.
(a) Transferred
SOWs.
(i) For each Transferred SOW, the Customer Group
will pay the Fees set forth in such Transferred SOW. Transferred SOWs for fixed-price Project work
are not subject to any of the price reductions described in this Agreement.
(ii) During the third year of the Initial Term and
each year of the Initial Term thereafter, the prices in Transferred SOWs other
than those for fixed-price Project work shall be adjusted by multiplying the
prices by the Inflation Factor for the previous year. For example, if the Inflation Factor
calculated as the change between 2006 and 2005 is an increase of two percent
(2%), prices for 2007 shall be adjusted upward by two percent (2%).
(iii) Such adjustment shall take place within sixty
(60) days after January 1 of each year, but shall be retroactive to January 1
with an adjustment payment or invoice made at the time of the adjustment to

(iv) To the extent not otherwise expressly set
forth in a Transferred SOW or otherwise agreed upon by the parties that are

reduced or increased on a pro rata basis
for any reductions or increases in the volume of Services provided under such
Transferred SOW.

9.4 Payment Terms. For invoices processed through IBS as of the
Effective Date, the Customer Party will pay all undisputed fees to Provider in
fill within [[[***]]] from the date (a) of receipt of the invoice or (b), with
respect to any disputed fees, such dispute is resolved (the Due Date). For all other invoices, the Customer Party
will pay all undisputed Fees to Provider in full within [[[***]]] from the date
(a) of receipt of an invoice or (b), with respect to any disputed fees, such
dispute is resolved (also, the Due Date). A Customer Party may dispute any invoiced
amount in good faith in accordance with Section 22.5 (Dispute
Resolution). Any such dispute shall not
relieve the Customer Party from paying undisputed amounts on such invoice in
accordance with the terms of this Section 9.3. No Customer Party will be responsible for any
costs or expenses incurred by Provider (including Affiliated Providers) for
changes to Services or new Services performed without the authorization of such
Customer Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Payments made after the Due Date will accrue
interest at a rate of [[[***]]] per annum.
9.5 Taxes. The charges for Services do not include
applicable taxes. If Provider is
required to pay any federal, state, county or local service or value added tax

other Governmental Entity taxes assessed on the Services provided, such taxes
(along with any applicable surcharge and education cess thereon), including any
gross-up on withholding tax, will be billed to and paid by the Customer Party
upon presentation of billing details that substantiate the amount of the taxes. Provider will be responsible for collecting
and remitting all such value added taxes on behalf of the Customer Group. Provider will retain the right to collect any
tax from the Customer Group if Provider fails to charge the correct withholding
tax; or sales, use, gross receipts, excise, consumption or services tax in the
initial invoice. Property taxes for all
assets will be the responsibility of the party owning or leasing the assets. Each of Provider and the Customer Group (a)
will bear sole responsibility for taxes based on its own net income (including
surcharge and education cess thereon); employment taxes of its own employees,
agents or subcontractors; and for any taxes on any property it owns or acquires
for the purpose of rendering the Services, (b) will undertake reasonable
efforts in good faith to minimize taxes to the extent legally permissible, (c)
shall cooperate in good faith to enable the other to accurately determine its
own tax liability, and (d) shall provide and make available to the other any

registration form on the Global Supplier Network (GSN) for receipt of
electronic funds from the Customer Group.
The preferred method of electronic funds receipt is Electronic Funds

Provider has a non-U.S. based bank.
9.8 Electronic Invoicing. The Customer Groups process for receipt of
non- IBS invoices may become electronic during the term of this Agreement. Subject to Article IV, upon notice to
Provider of institution by the Customer Group of the electronic process, and
within thirty (30) days of such notice, Provider will begin submitting invoices
through the Customer Groups electronic processing system.
9.9 Credit Card Payment. Whenever Provider implements a credit card
billing system, the Customer Group may decide to settle invoices not in excess
of $2,500 with Provider using a Mastercard procurement credit card. Should the Customer Group choose to settle
payments with this method, Provider agrees to provide the Customer Group with
level 3 billing details as defined by Mastercard standards.
ARTICLE X
BOOKS, RECORDS, AUDITS AND REPORTING
10.1 Books and Records. Provider will maintain in a central location
(to the extent practicable) complete and accurate books and records, supporting
data and other evidence relating to the provision of Services (including
records that are received, generated or held by Provider or any Affiliated
Provider in the course of providing the Services), in accordance with and for
such period as is required by GAAP or applicable Law or the Customer Groups
document retention policies, unless otherwise specified in a Customer SOW. Such books and records will include
sufficient detail to verify (i) the Services provided to each Business, (ii)
the costs and expenses included in the Inflation Factor and any MVC reduction
pursuant to Section 6.3(b) (Reduction of MVCs) to Provider for providing
each Service, (iii) the Fees for each Service, (iv) the annual purchase dollar
volumes of the Customer Group, separately reflecting annual purchase dollar
volumes for each Service and for each Business, (v) the Transaction
Productivity achieved in connection with the provision of the Services,
separately reflecting the Transaction Productivity provided under each Customer
SOW and to each Business, (vi) compliance with the Performance Standards
(including the Critical Performance Standards) for each Service and (vii)
compliance with Providers obligations under Articles XV and XVI.
10.2 Audits.
(a) At
the Customer Groups sole expense, GE, its Representatives and Governmental
Entities will have the right at any time during normal business hours, and upon
at least seventy-two (72) hours prior written notice, to inspect and audit the
books and records maintained in accordance with Section 10.1 (Books and
Records) (excluding any information solely related to Providers business with
third party customers) to investigate and assess compliance with any of
Providers representations, warranties or covenants under this

Agreement and the Customer SOWs and, upon notice, will provide
reasonable access to all those facilities, equipment and records in order to
conduct such verification. Each Customer
Party will have the foregoing right to audit and inspect, but only with respect
to compliance with the provisions of the Customer SOW(s) to which such Customer
Party is a party. At Providers
election, Provider may require that GE, any Customer Party or its
Representatives having access to such books and records sign reasonable
non-disclosure agreements to protect the Confidential Information of Provider
and its third party customers prior to such access; provided, however,
that Provider will provide such access in accordance with the foregoing time
period if GE, such Customer Party or such Representatives, as applicable, sign
such agreements.
(b) Provider
will cooperate fully with GE, the Customer Group, its Representatives and
Governmental Entities in connection with such audit. GE and each Customer Party will use
reasonable efforts to conduct such inspections in a manner that will minimize
the disruption to Providers business operations and the Services. Provider will be excused for its failure to
comply with the terms of any Customer SOW, including any performance
requirements and Performance Standards, for the period and to the extent such
failure is caused by GE or the Customer Partys failure to use such reasonable
efforts; provided, however, that Provider will continue to use
reasonable efforts to comply with all such performance requirements.
(c) In
the event that such audit reveals an underpayment of Fees by any Customer Party
(or an underpayment of Transaction Productivity by Provider) under any Customer
SOW or this Agreement, such Customer Party (or Provider) will promptly pay the
amount of such underpayment to the applicable party under the Customer SOW or
the Customer Party that should have received such Transaction Productivity. In the event that such audit reveals an
overpayment of Fees by any Customer Party (or an overpayment of Transaction
Productivity by Provider) under any Customer SOW or this Agreement, the
applicable party under such Customer SOW or the applicable member receiving the
Transaction Productivity will promptly return the amount of such overpayment to
such Customer Party (or Provider).
10.3 Customer Group Approvals. The conduct of inspections and audits by
Customer Group in accordance with Section 10.2 (Audits) will not operate
to relieve Provider from its obligations and commitments under this Agreement
or any Customer SOW, except as provided in Section 10.2(b) (Audits) or
as expressly stated otherwise in writing by the Customer Group. In addition, the conducting of tests by, or
the receipt of approvals or consents from, the Customer Group will not operate
to relieve Provider from its obligations and commitments under this Agreement
or any Customer SOW, except as not reasonably avoidable by Provider or its
Affiliated Providers and where Provider has notified the Customer Party that
the conducting of tests or receipt of approvals or consents will necessarily
limit performance by Provider.
10.4 Reporting. At no additional cost, Provider will prepare
and provide all data and reports reasonably required by the Customer Group at
the frequency and in the format required by the Customer Group.

(d) if
(i) Provider fails to meet any Critical Performance Standard for any three (3)
consecutive months or four (4) nonconsecutive months in a rolling twelve (12)

such failure), (C) does not promptly undertake action to cure such failure, or
(D) does not implement and satisfy such definitive plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Customer
Party shall not be entitled to terminate an applicable Customer SOW for Cause

caused by the wrongful acts or omissions of any member of Customer Group or its
agents, or the failure of the Customer Party to comply with its obligations
under the applicable Customer SOW;
(e) if
Provider or any Affiliated Provider or the Customer Party, due to the actions
of Provider or any Affiliated Provider, is administratively cited by any
Governmental Entity for materially violating, or is judicially found to have
materially violated, any Law governing the performance of the Services;
(f) if
a trustee or receiver or similar officer of any court is appointed for Provider
or for a substantial part of the property of Provider, whether with or without
consent; or bankruptcy, composition, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings are instituted by or against Provider without such proceedings
being dismissed within ninety (90) days from the date of the institution thereof

If such Customer Party fails to give notice
of its intent to terminate such Customer SOW in accordance with Section 11.3
within [[[***]]] of the date that such Customer Party first becomes aware of
the breach giving rise to such right to terminate, such Customer Party will be
deemed to have waived its right to terminate for such breach (but not deemed to
have waived any claims it may have arising from such breach or any right to
terminate for any similar breach in the future).
11.4 Termination
upon a Provider Change of Control by the Customer Group.
(a) Within
sixty (60) days after a Change of Control of Provider, the Customer Group may
terminate this Agreement or any or all Customer SOWs in whole or in part by
sending written notice to Provider. Within
sixty (60) days after a Change of Control of any Subsidiary of Company or an
Affiliated Provider, the Customer Group may terminate any or all Customer SOWs
with such Subsidiary or under which such Affiliated Provider was providing
Services by sending written notice to Provider.
If the Customer Group fails to notify Provider within such sixty (60)
day written notice period, then the Customer Group waives its right to
terminate under this Section 11.4.
Customer Group and Provider must provide a minimum transition period of
at a minimum ninety (90) days in connection with any terminated Services. To enable Customer Groups rights under this Section
11.4(a), Provider shall notify GE upon the signing of a definitive
agreement that, if consummated, would result in such a Change of Control.
(b) The
rights of Customer Group to terminate this Agreement in the event of a Change
of Control of Provider under this Section 11.4 shall no longer apply
upon an initial public offering of Provider.
(c) A
Change of Control pursuant to a transaction (or series of related transactions)
whereby GE has compelled the Change of Control through exercise of its
compulsory sale right pursuant to Section 3.06 of the Stockholders Agreement
shall not constitute a Change of Control of Provider for the purposes of this Section
11.4.
11.5 Termination of Customer SOWs with Cause by Provider. Provider may terminate a Customer SOW upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice if:
(a) the
Customer Party fails to make any payment under such Customer SOW of an
undisputed amount when due, and such failure continues uncured for a period of
ninety (90) days from notice by Provider to such Customer Party of such
failure;
(b) the
Customer Party becomes subject to any voluntary or involuntary order of any
Governmental Entity for reasons within such Customer Partys control
prohibiting or materially impairing the performance of any of the Services;

(c) Provider,
due to the actions of the Customer Party, is administratively cited by any

materially violated, any Law governing the performance of the Services;
(d) a
trustee or receiver or similar officer of any court is appointed for the
Customer Party or for a substantial part of the property of the Customer Party,
whether with or without consent; or bankruptcy, composition, reorganization,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings are instituted by or against the Customer
Party without such proceedings being dismissed within ninety (90) days from the
date of the institution thereof;
provided, however,
that if Provider fails to give notice of its intent to terminate such Customer
SOW in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a) through (d) within [[[***]]]
from the date that Provider first becomes aware of the breach giving rise to
such right to terminate, Provider will be deemed to have waived its right to
terminate for such breach (but not be deemed to have waived any claims it may
have arising from such breach or any right to terminate for any similar breach
in the future).
11.6 Notification of Termination for Convenience for
Transferred SOWs. In
addition to as provided in Section 11.4 (Termination upon a Provider Change of
Control by the Customer Group), the Customer Party may terminate without cause
any Transferred SOW in whole or in part at any time, but only (i) upon [[[***]]]
prior written notice to Provider (or, for any Services being provided by
Provider under any Transferred SOW to any third party customer of the Customer
Group on behalf of the Customer Group, any shorter notice period required by
such third party customer) and (ii) in accordance with and subject to one of Section
11.8 (Pulled Back Termination), Section 11.9 (Volume Fluctuation),
or Section 11.10 (Transaction Productivity). For the avoidance of doubt, any Customer
Party providing written notice of its intent to terminate any Transferred SOW
in whole or in part under this Section 11.6 will continue to pay Fees
for the terminated Services in accordance with such Transferred SOW and this
Agreement for such [[[***]]] (or such shorter period as specified above), and
to the extent, if any, that such Services are provided upon agreement of the
parties after the termination of such Transferred SOW.
11.7 Termination for Convenience of Future SOWs. The Customer Party may terminate without
cause any Future SOW in whole or in part at any time upon two hundred and
seventy (270) days prior written notice to Provider (or, for any Services
being provided by Provider under any Future SOW to any third party customer of
the Customer Group on behalf of the Customer Group, any shorter notice period
required by such third party customer). For
the avoidance of doubt, any Customer Party providing written notice of its
intent to terminate any Future SOW in whole or in part under this Section 11.7
will continue to pay Fees for the terminated Services in accordance with such
Future SOW and this Agreement for such two hundred and seventy (270) day period

11.8 Pulled
Back Termination.
(a)
Pulled Back Termination will mean any termination of a Transferred SOW where
the Services performed under that Transferred SOW either (i) are subsequently
performed by a Customer Party or (ii) are awarded to a third party. During any year of the Minimum Volume
Commitment Term, if the annual purchase dollar volume of Pulled Back
Terminations in that year in aggregate exceeds the following amounts (the
amount of such excess being the Annual Excess): [[[***]]]; then the Customer
Group will purchase additional Services of like price per FTE and for a period
of time that reflects a duration on a weighted average equivalent to all Pulled
Back Terminations terminated in that year with annual purchase dollar volume in
aggregate no less than the Annual Excess.
(b) Section
11.8(a) shall not apply to any terminations resulting from, in whole or in
part:
(i) a termination of a Transferred SOW in
accordance with Section 11.3 (Termination of Customer SOWS for Cause by
Customer Group);
(ii) Provider or any Affiliated Provider becoming
subject to any voluntary or involuntary order of any Governmental Entity, for
reasons other than those within Providers control, prohibiting or materially
impairing the performance of Services under such Transferred SOW, for which
Provider does not develop a work-around within thirty (30) days;
(iii) a termination of a Transferred SOW in
accordance with Section 11.4 (Termination upon a Provider Change of
Control by the Customer Group).
(iv) a termination of a Transferred SOW in
accordance with Section 22.8 (Force Majeure);
(v) a termination of a Transferred SOW with the
IT Services Business Component in connection with reacquisition of
substantially similar services on substantially the same terms from Provider;
(vi) a termination of a Transferred SOW due to
changes in applicable Law; or
(vii) a termination directly resulting from a
material change in the requirements of any of the Services being provided by
Provider under any Transferred SOW to any third party customers of the Customer
Group.

11.9 Volume
Fluctuations.
(a) If,
in any year of the Minimum Volume Commitment Term, the aggregate purchasing
under Transferred SOWs ((netting volume ramp-ups against volume ramp-downs)
other than Pulled Back Terminations but excluding reductions resulting
from one of the reasons set forth in Section 11.8(b) and reductions
resulting from the expiration of Project Transferred SOWs) declines from the
purchase dollar volume of the prior year by more than the Volume Trigger, GE
shall meet with Provider to work together in good faith to consider new
business opportunities to put Provider in a position similar to that it would
have been in had the Volume Trigger not been exceeded.
(b) The
Volume Trigger will mean annual purchase dollar volume declines in aggregate
exceeding the sum of (i): [[[***]]] and (ii) [[[***]]].
11.10 Productivity Reductions. Sections 11.8 (Pulled Back Termination) and
Section 11.9 (Volume Fluctuations) will not apply to any reduction in required
FTEs under a Transferred SOW due to Transaction Productivity gains.
11.11 Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated by either
Party upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party if there
are no outstanding Customer SOWs or other Services being provided pursuant to
this Agreement. Provider will have no
obligation to accept any Future SOW after the date of such termination.
11.12 Survival. Articles VI (Business Volume
Commitment) (as the MVCs may be adjusted as provided hereunder), IX (Payment)
with respect to amounts accrued prior to expiration or termination, XV
(Compliance with Laws), XVI (Personal Data Processing), XVII
(Ownership; Intellectual Property), XX (Limitations of Liability), XXI
(Confidentiality) and XXII (Miscellaneous Provisions), and Section 11.12,
(Survival), 11.13 (Return of Materials) and 11.14 (Termination

Agreement, a Customer SOW or any Services for whatever reason, Provider and the
Customer Group will each return (or, at the election of the other, destroy) all
Information, materials and documents of the other (including full documentation
for all Services) relating to the terminated Services promptly upon such
termination or expiration (but in any event within ninety (90) days from such
termination or expiration). Such return
will be for no additional charge if such Information, materials and documents

format, and at the Customer Groups expense for any other format
requested by the Customer Group.
11.14 Termination Services. Upon termination or expiration of this
Agreement, a Customer SOW or any Services for whatever reason, each Customer
Party may elect to purchase termination services from Provider to assist the
Customer Party in the orderly transition of the terminated Services from
Provider to the Customer Party or the Customer Partys designee. The Customer Party may elect to purchase, and
Provider will provide to the Customer Party if so purchased, termination
services for up to two hundred seventy (270) days (unless otherwise agreed to
in writing by the parties) from such date of termination or expiration.
(a) Each
Customer Party electing to purchase termination services and Provider will
agree on the terms of a ramp-down plan governing such termination (which may
also establish Performance Standards applicable to the Services during the
ramp-down). In the event either party
breaches such plan and such breach causes damage to the other, the breaching
party will compensate the other party.
(b) During
the provision of termination services under a Customer SOW terminated for
Cause, (i) the Customer Party shall not again terminate that Customer SOW for
the same Cause so as to reduce the period over which termination services will
be provided, and (ii) Productivity not previously applied to the Fees under
such Customer SOW will not be applied. The
underlying Services under the Customer SOW being continued as part of the
termination services shall continue to be provided under the Customer SOW at
the rates specified in the Customer SOW with adjustments as specified in the
ramp-down plan and adjustments in Fees downward as appropriate for ramp-down in
volume.
(c) The
Customer Group will pay Fees for such termination services equal to Providers
actual cost (including the Affiliated Providers actual cost calculated so as
not to include any cost twice and without any markup between Affiliated
Providers and Provider) incurred of providing such termination services (for
clarification, not including any mark-ups or margins on such cost or any
mark-ups or margins which may be included in the price per FTE specified in the
applicable Customer SOW). If termination
services are being provided as a result of a breach of Section 9.3
(Payment Terms) by a Customer Party, such Customer Party shall, upon request by
Provider, pay the Fees for such termination services in advance.
(d) All
termination services provided hereunder will be deemed included in the
definition of Services, and all representations, warranties and
covenants relating to the Services will survive such expiration or termination
with respect to such termination services, to the extent such Services are not
affected by the process of their termination, except that any standards in the
ramp-down plan will supersede the Performance Standards in the Customer SOW. If the Customer Group elects not to purchase
termination services, Provider will not, through any acts or omissions, in any
manner knowingly impede the transition process.

accordance with the foregoing during the pendency of such dispute, and the
Customer Group and Provider will resolve such dispute in accordance with Section
22.5 (Dispute Resolution).
11.15 Evidentiary Admissions. The undertaking of any mitigation by a party
to this Agreement in respect of an alleged breach of this Agreement or a
Customer SOW shall not be construed against such party in any Dispute.
11.16 Enumerated Breaches. The enumeration of any particular defaults
under this Agreement or a Customer SOW as giving rise to a material breach of
this Agreement or the Customer SOW shall not be an indication that any other
breaches are not material (i.e., the
principle of ejusdem generis
shall not apply with respect to the identification of acts or omissions giving rise
to material breach).
ARTICLE XII
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND SERVICE WARRANTIES
12.1 General. Subject to Section 12.2 (Transferred
SOWs), Provider will deliver to the Customer Group all Services set forth in a
Customer SOW in accordance with the applicable Performance Standards set forth
therein with promptness and diligence and in a professional and workmanlike
manner by qualified personnel in accordance with the generally accepted
practices and professional standards used by internationally recognized
organizations performing services similar to the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider shall
not be liable for any failure to meet or exceed any Performance Standards if
such failure is due to the wrongful acts or omissions of the Customer Party or
its agents or the failure of the Customer Party to comply with its obligations
under the applicable Customer SOW.
12.2 Transferred SOWs. During the six (6) month period beginning on
the Effective Date, Provider and the Customer Party will review each
Transferred SOW to identify Performance Standards and associated metrics that
will be considered critical which will then become the Critical Performance
Standards for that Transferred SOW. If
Provider and the Customer Party fail to agree on Critical Performance
Standards, Customer Group may choose at its reasonable discretion up to six (6)
metrics of those processes being measured immediately before the Effective
Date, unless the complexity of the process or the regulatory requirements
associated with such process reasonably requires establishing a greater number
of metrics, and the Critical Performance Standards will be set at the average
of Providers performance of such metrics during the twelve (12) months prior
to the Effective Date (which average will exclude the two (2) highest and two
(2) lowest monthly measures); provided, however, that for any
such process (i) that has not existed for at least twelve (12) months prior to
the Effective Date or (ii) for which performance data is not available as
of the Effective Date, the Critical Performance

Standards will be established as the Performance Standards actually
being achieved in respect of such process as of the Effective Date.
12.3 Deliverables Warranty.
(a) Subject
to Section 12.2 (Transferred SOWS) with respect to any Deliverable
provided hereunder, Provider warrants the following until [[[***]]] following
the date such Deliverable is accepted by the Customer Party (the Warranty
Period):
(i) such Deliverable will conform to any
applicable requirements set forth in the applicable Customer SOW; and
(ii) such Deliverable at the time of delivery will
contain no elements which are designed to, capable of, or permit (A)
unauthorized access to or intrusion upon, (B) disabling of, (C) erasure
of, or (D) interference with, any hardware, Software, data or peripheral
equipment, including any computer viruses, worms or time bombs as those
terms are commonly understood within the technology industry.
(b) In
the event that any Deliverable fails to conform to the warranties set forth in
this Section 12.3 in any material respect, Provider will have the right
and obligation to cure or correct such failure as soon as reasonably practical
at Providers expense. If Provider is
unable to cure or correct such failure within a commercially reasonable period
of time of no less than ninety (90) days, then the Customer Group may pursue
its remedies at law to recover direct damages resulting from the breach of such
warranties. The foregoing provisions are
expressly conditioned upon the Customer Group providing Provider with prompt
written notice of any claim thereunder prior to the expiration thereof, which
notice must identify with particularity the non-conformity. The foregoing warranties will not apply if
the alleged breach of warranty has not been caused by Providers breach of its
obligations herein or is due to instructions or specifications of the Customer
Group or services or goods supplied by the Customer Group or its agents not
conforming to their respective technical, functional and performance
specifications and criteria, and Provider will have no liability or obligation
as a result thereof.

13.3 Data Backup and Storage. In the event any or all of the Customer Group
data is destroyed or damaged in any way, Provider will, at its cost, use
commercially reasonable efforts and such additional efforts specified in the
BCP described in Section 13.4 (Business Continuity Plan), to restore
such Customer Group data. If the cost of
Providers efforts (including the Affiliated Providers efforts calculated so
as not to include any cost twice and without any markup between Affiliated
Providers and Provider) to restore such destroyed or damaged data exceeds [[[***]]],
and if the destruction or damage to the data was due to a Customer Party, the Customer
Party shall bear all of the cost above [[[***]]]. If the destruction or damage to the data was
due to Provider, Provider shall bear all of the cost above [[[***]]] (it being
understood that for purposes of this Section 13.3, all hardware owned by

in the event of a disaster or other BCP-triggering event (as such events are
defined in the applicable BCP). Providers
BCPs for Future SOWs will include, at a minimum, those items contained in Exhibit
I. Such BCPs will also address all
operations identified by the Customer Group as mission critical, will meet
the substantive requirements specified by the Customer Group, and will be
agreed upon by the Customer Group and Provider.
Provider will regularly update, and, when necessary in accordance with
the terms of the BCPs, activate, the BCPs.

personnel who will be providing Services to the Customer Group. Upon execution of this Agreement, and

advance notice, Provider will require its Executive and each of its Service
Delivery Leaders to execute a statement acknowledging that he/she has read,
understands and will comply with the Customer Group Policies in connection with

Provider hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Customer Group without further
consideration all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Solutions. Any and all such assignments include all
rights, however denominated, of paternity, integrity, disclosure, attribution
and withdrawal and any other rights, present or future, of any country,
including rights that may be known as or referred to as moral rights or unfair
competition rights (collectively, Moral Rights). To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be

Rights and consents to any action of the Customer Group and its licensees that
would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of such consent.

the foregoing:

(a) If
any Technology or Intellectual Property owned, licensed or otherwise procured

grants to the Customer Group a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free,

other Technology or Intellectual Property provided to Provider by the Customer

(i) Provider must use such Customer Solutions
and other Technology and Intellectual Property solely for the purpose of
providing Services to the Customer Group (or for any Cross License Customer IP
included in such Customer Solutions or other Technology or Intellectual
Property, as otherwise allowed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Cross License Agreement),
(ii) Providers license to use any Customer

of Section 17.2(a).
17.5 Residuals. During the course of performing or receiving
the Services, the Customer Group and Provider (including the Affiliated
Providers) may further develop their knowledge, skills, and experience. The mere subsequent use by either the
Customer Group or Provider (including the Affiliated Providers) of such

or any Customer SOW, so long as such use is consistent with the confidentiality
obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Customer SOWs.

of the date that Customer Group conveys such terms and conditions to Provider
or Provider otherwise obtains knowledge of such terms and conditions.
(c) In
the event that Customer Group and Provider are unable to obtain any Required
Consent, (i) Customer Group and Provider will work together to develop a
suitable workaround, and (ii) Provider will not be liable to Customer Group for
Providers failure to perform any Services to the extent such failure results
from such inability to obtain such Required Consent, and the Customer Group
shall not be obligated to pay for such Services.

instruction, information, design or other materials furnished by the
Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party hereunder; or (iii) the Indemnified
Partys continuing the allegedly infringing activity after being informed and
provided for no additional charge with modifications that would have avoided
the alleged infringement.
(d) In
the event that some or all of the Material furnished by Provider or the

harmless set forth above in this Article XVIII (Indemnity) will not
apply, to the extent the Indemnified Party was responsible for giving rise to
the matter upon which the claim or action for indemnification is based and will
not apply to the extent to which the Indemnified Party fails to (i) promptly
notify the Indemnifying Party of any matters in respect of which the indemnity
may apply and of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge; provided, however,
that any delay in providing such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations under this Article XVIII to the extent such delay
does not materially prejudice the Indemnifying Partys defense of any such
claim or action; (ii) gives the Indemnifying Party the full opportunity to
control the response thereto and the defense thereof, including any agreement
relating to the settlement thereof; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party will not settle any such claim or action without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party (which will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); and (iii) cooperates with the Indemnifying Party, at the
Indemnifying Partys cost and expense, in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnified Party may participate, at its
own expense, in such defense and in any settlement discussions directly or
through counsel of its choice on a monitoring, non-controlling basis.

18.6 Indemnification
Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and on an After-Tax Basis.
(a) Any
liability subject to indemnification under this Agreement (hereinafter referred
to as Liability for the purposes of this Section 18.6) will be
net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability and
will be determined on an After-Tax Basis.
Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay
to the Indemnified Party will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore
actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the
related Liability. If an Indemnified
Party receives a payment (Indemnity Payment) required by this
Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and
subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnified Party will pay
to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity
Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been
due if the Insurance Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before
the Indemnity Payment was made.
(b) An
insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim will not be relieved
of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the
indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect
thereto. The Indemnified Party will use
its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party
(which will not include any captive insurance subsidiary) Insurance Proceeds
(other than Insurance Proceeds under an arrangement where future premiums are
adjusted to reflect prior claims in excess of prior premiums) to which the
Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the
Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article XVIII
(Indemnity); provided that the Indemnified Partys inability to collect or
recover any such Insurance Proceeds will not limit the Indemnifying Partys
obligations hereunder.
(c) The
term After-Tax Basis as used in this Section 18.6 requires
that, in determining the amount of any indemnification payment hereunder, the
amount of the payment shall be (i) increased to take into account any
additional Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt
of indemnification payments hereunder (Tax Costs) and (ii) decreased
to take into account any deduction, credit or other tax benefit actually
realized by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Liabilities (Tax
Benefits). In computing the amount
of any such Tax Cost or Tax Benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to
recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before
recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnification payment
hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Liabilities; provided,
however, that if a Tax Cost or Tax Benefit is not realized in the
taxable period during which an Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification
payment or the Indemnified Party incurs or pays the amounts giving rise to
indemnification, the parties hereto shall thereafter make payments to one
another at the end of each subsequent taxable period to reflect the net Tax
Costs and Tax Benefits realized by the parties hereto in each such subsequent
taxable period.

(the Information Owner).
The term Information Owner includes the directors, officers,

or becomes generally available to and known by the public (other than as a
result of a non-permitted disclosure or other wrongful act directly or
indirectly by the Accessing Party or its Representatives);
(b) is
or becomes available to the Accessing Party on a non-confidential basis from a

including the purpose of competing with the Information Owner. The Accessing Party will keep such
Confidential Information confidential and will not disclose any Confidential
Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the

rights under this Agreement or the Customer SOWs. The Accessing Party will ensure, by

Representatives comply with the provisions of this Article XXI. The Accessing Party will be responsible in
the event of any breach of the Accessing Partys Representatives of such
agreements. The Accessing Party will
promptly notify the Information Owner in the event that the Accessing Party or
its Representatives learn of any unauthorized use or disclosure of such

necessary to correct and prevent such use or disclosure. The Accessing Party will, if required, establish
Chinese walls to ensure that individuals working on other matters do not have
access to the Information Owners Confidential Information.

Party for no additional charge will return to the Information Owner all of the
Information Owners Confidential Information in the format in which it was
provided by the Information Owner or in its then-current format, at the
discretion of the Information Owner; or with the written permission of the
Information Owner, destroy such Confidential Information, with such destruction
to be certified in writing to the Information Owner by an authorized officer
supervising such destruction, and not retained by the Accessing Party or the
Accessing Partys Representatives in any form or for any reason.

acquire Confidential Information from third parties under obligations of
confidentiality more restrictive than those provided hereunder. If a Customer Party acquires such
Confidential Information and provides it to Provider or any Affiliated Provider
under this Agreement, it may notify Provider and any relevant Affiliated
Provider of the obligations of confidentiality, in which case Provider and each
relevant Affiliated Provider as a condition of receiving such Confidential
Information agrees to comply with those obligations of confidentiality in

there are no oral or other agreements or understandings between the parties
affecting this Agreement or related to the Services to be provided by Provider

faith to resolve the Dispute. If the
Executives are unable to resolve such Dispute within such period, they may
agree to submit a Dispute to non-binding arbitration.
(d) If
the Executives are unable to resolve such Dispute within the thirty (30) day
period, or upon the conclusion of any non-binding arbitration, either party may

with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (Including
Procedures for Large, Complex Disputes) then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted by the
Designated Arbitrator. The parties will
cooperate in good faith with the AAA and with one another in selecting the
Designated Arbitrator, and in scheduling the arbitration. The Designated Arbitrator shall render a
decision within ninety (90) days of the matter being submitted to arbitration
in accordance with this paragraph. The
parties further agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good
faith, and that they will share equally in the costs of utilizing the AAA and
the Designated Arbitrator, but bear their own costs (including attorneys fees). The arbitration will be governed by the
United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, final and binding, and
judgment upon the award rendered by the Designated Arbitrator may be entered by

(e) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or a Customer SOW, during the resolution
of any commercial Dispute arising under this Agreement or any Customer SOW, and
until such time, if any, as a final arbitral decision is rendered giving such
right, Provider will not terminate, diminish, or in any way impair or erode the
Services it is obligated to provide and the Customer Group will continue to pay
any and all undisputed invoices and otherwise meet its obligations as required

Any Party from time to time may change its

specifying a new address, but no such notice will be deemed to have been given
until it is actually received by the Party sought to be charged with the
contents thereof.
22.8 Force Majeure. Neither Provider nor the Customer Group (or
any Person acting on their behalf) will have any liability or responsibility
for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under
this Agreement or any Customer SOW so long as and to the extent to which the
fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as
a consequence of circumstances of a Force Majeure Event, and if a Customer
Party (or its customer on behalf of which Services are provided) becomes
subject to a Force Majeure event rendering its receipt of Services impractical,
the Customer Party may suspend purchasing of such Services, subject to Section
6.5 (MVC Shortfall and Excess Adjustment).
If either Provider or the Customer Group claims the benefit of this Section
22.8, such party will, promptly after such partys first knowledge of a
Force Majeure Event: (i) notify the other of the nature and extent of such
Force Majeure Event and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any
such causes and resume performance under this Agreement or the Customer SOW, as

the Customer Groups performance continues to be interrupted for a period

in writing (including in the relevant BCP), the other will be entitled to
terminate the affected Customer SOW(s), as applicable, in whole or in part by
giving seven (7) days prior written notice to the other before performance has
resumed. Nothing in this Section 22.8
excuses any obligation Provider has to maintain and implement the BCP or GE
from fulfilling its obligations with respect to the applicable MVCs as set
forth in Article VI (Business Volume Commitment).
22.9 Cooperation by Parties. Provider and the Customer Group will fully
cooperate and assist the other in the initiation or defense of any third party
litigation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the
Services, including any litigation in which Provider and a Customer Party are
co-parties, and until such time as Provider or such Customer Party determines
in good faith that their interests appear to be divergent.
22.10 Rights of Entry. If Provider or its permitted subcontractors
are required to enter any of the Customer Group premises in connection with
activities related to this Agreement or the Customer SOWS, their rights of
entry will be subject to prior approval of the Customer Group and applicable
security Laws and the Customer Groups safety and security standards and
procedures. Provider further agrees that
it will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such activities by
Provider or its permitted subcontractors will be performed in such manner that
they will have minimal interference with the normal business operations of the
Customer Group.
22.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed by or mentioned in this
Agreement is intended or will be construed to give any Person other than the
Parties hereto and their Affiliates and their respective permitted successors

benefit of the Parties hereto and their Affiliates and their respective
permitted successors and permitted assigns and for the benefit of no other
Person.

becomes invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part because the provision is

be unaffected.

written consent.
22.15 Non-Waiver. The Parties failure at any time to enforce
any of the provisions of this Agreement or any right or remedy available
hereunder or at law or in equity, or to exercise any option herein provided,
will in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, rights, remedies
or options or any other term, condition or covenant of this Agreement, or in
any way to affect the validity of this Agreement, except where such party
consents to such waiver in writing. The
exercise by the Customer Group or Provider of any rights, remedies or options
provided hereunder or at law or equity will not preclude or prejudice the
exercising hereunder of the same or any other rights, remedies or options.
22.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, all of which taken together will constitute one and the same
instrument, and each fully executed counterpart will be deemed an original.

as a reference to the Companys Affiliate that submitted the Task Order.
Hierarchy
2.10 In the event of any conflict
between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of any Task Order or PO, the
terms of this Amendment shall prevail. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of a Task Order and the terms of a PO, the terms of the Task Order shall
prevail. Under no circumstances shall
any terms of a PO be construed as imposing any additional financial or other
obligations on the Contractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Task Order may
amend the terms of this Amendment solely with respect to such Task Order by
expressly referencing the provisions of this Amendment that are being amended
and by stating that in the event of a conflict between the amended provisions
of the Task Order and the provisions of this Amendment, the provisions of the
Task Order shall prevail.
Technical Clarification
2.11 The Company may notify the
Contractor of technical clarifications to any Task Order at any time provided
such clarification is within the general scope of either this Amendment or the
relevant Task Order.
2.12 If the Contractor receives a
technical clarification that may affect cost, completion schedule or any other
provision of this Amendment or the relevant Task Order, then the Contractor
will provide the Company with a proposed amendment to the Task Order incorporating
the proposed changes and will not implement the technical clarification unless
and until the Contractor has received from the Company written confirmation
through both an amendment to the Task Order and an amendment to the PO or a new
PO of such clarification and acceptance of the proposed amendment to the Task
Order.
2.13 No cost that the Contractor
incurs as a result of
implementing a technical clarification may be the basis for an adjustment of the
fees to be paid under a Task Order unless the Company had agreed in writing to
such price adjustment prior to the Contractor incurring the additional costs.
Service Level
Agreements
2.14 The terms of this Amendment
shall not supersede any Service Level Agreements separately negotiated and
agreed to between the Company and the Contractor under any Task Order.
Transition
between Time and Materials and Fixed Price

Company, the Contractor will cooperate with the Company in good faith to
convert existing Time and Materials Task Orders to Fixed Price Task Orders on

3.5 The Company may
require the Contractor to immediately remove any Worker from the performance of
a Task Order whose continued work on a Task Order is, in the sole discretion of
the Company, contrary to the Companys interest. If, during the first four weeks of
performance pursuant to a Task Order, the Company requests the Contractor to
remove Workers from such performance, then the Contractor will promptly
reimburse the Company for the charges for the period such Workers worked on
such Task Order. The Company reserves the right to remove Workers from any engagement,
including Fixed Price Task Orders, in the event that such Workers act contrary
to Company interests.
3.6 If any Worker provided

Task Orders. In case of Onshore/Near-shore locations, the Contractor shall provide
competent replacements within a timeframe that is mutually agreed by the
Company and the Contractor.

Companys discretion, that the Contractor provide training specific to the
execution of Task Orders [[[***]]] if Workers are either inadequately trained

to ensure that Workers are equipped with the functional and technical
competencies required to perform all Services and meet fill commitments under
specific Task Orders.

3.10 The Contractor agrees that
the total overall retention level of Workers will be a minimum of ***, so as to ensure that the Companys
critical business applications and infrastructure maintain the level of
continuity and skill that is required for their development and maintenance. The
Retention Level Percentage (RLP) shall be measured at a project level
on a monthly basis on the last day of every month and added to the Year-to-date
percentages on the project. The consolidated project retention data shall be
aggregated to determine the Contractors Company RLP. The RLP will be
calculated as:
[[[***]]]
In addition to any of the
remedies that are available under this Amendment, the Company may establish
non-monetary penalties from time to time if RLPs are found to be consistently
in material breach of this provision.
3.11 Specific Task Orders may

Wachovia shall remain liable for all obligations of such Eligible
Recipients, including any payment obligations under this Agreement and under

consist of the following, as they may evolve during the Term or be
supplemented, enhanced, modified or replaced, in each case, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement:
(i) The applicable services, functions and
responsibilities described in this Agreement and Statements of Work;
(ii) To the extent applicable, the services,
functions and responsibilities performed by Wachovia personnel who were
displaced or whose functions were displaced as a result of a Statement of Work,
even if the service, function, or responsibility is not specifically described
in such Statement of Work, that are identified during the first Contract Year
of such Statement of Work; and
(iii) If a Wachovia Base Case has been prepared in
connection with a Statement of Work and has been incorporated by reference in
such Statement of Work, the related services, functions, responsibilities and
tasks reflected in those categories of the Wachovia Base Case which Genpact is
assuming pursuant to such Statement of Work;
(collectively,
the Services).
(b) Included Services. If any
services, functions or responsibilities not specifically described in a
Statement of Work are an inherent or necessary part of the Services or are
required for proper performance or provision of the Services in accordance with
this Agreement and such Statement of Work, they shall be deemed to be included
within the scope of the Services to be delivered for the Charges, as if such

Agreement and the Schedules.
Statements of Work are not intended, and shall not be used by Genpact or
Wachovia, to re-negotiate or otherwise change terms and conditions that have
been negotiated and set forth in this Agreement and the Schedules, except in
very limited or special circumstances where facts exist that are not
specifically addressed in this Agreement or the Schedules or where this
Agreement has expressly reserved such matters to the Statement of Work.
(b) Statement of Work/Pricing. The
pricing methodology, including FTE rates for personnel performing Services, for
Statements of Work is specified in Schedule O. Genpact may propose lower FTE rates in
respect of any Statement of Work.
Genpact may also propose transactional pricing or fixed pricing for new
Statements of Work or amendments to Statements of Work. At Wachovias request at any time from or
after twelve (12) months (or, if specified in the applicable Statement of Work,
eighteen (18) months) after the Full Production Date, Genpact shall propose
transactional pricing in respect of any Statement of Work. In all such instances, the transaction
pricing or fixed price proposed by Genpact shall be no less favorable to
Wachovia than the price obtained by applying the pricing methodology specified
in Schedule O to such Statement
of Work. Wachovia also may request
Services using the FTE rates specified in Schedule O
for ad hoc time and materials projects
from time to time. Each such ad hoc
project shall be set forth in a Statement of Work.
(c) Statement of Work Proposals.
Genpact shall scope, price and perform Services under a Statement of
Work in accordance with the following Statement of Work formation process and
implementation methodology. Before
beginning work under any Statement of Work, the Parties must follow the
Statement of Work formation process set forth in this Section 4.2(c). Services performed without a Statement of
Work signed by the Parties shall be at Genpacts sole expense. The Statement of
Work formation process (including formation of amendments to existing
Statements of Work) shall be as follows:
(i) Due Diligence.
Wachovia shall reasonably cooperate with Genpacts requests for relevant
information and access in connection with Genpacts reasonable due diligence
activities relating to each Statement of Work.
To the extent such due diligence requests are granted by Wachovia,
Genpact shall carefully review Wachovias requirements and perform all due
diligence it deems necessary prior to execution of each Statement of Work.
(ii) Joint Activity.
Formation of Statements of Work shall be a joint activity, led by the
Wachovia manager responsible for the process or service that is the subject of
the proposed Statement of Work.
(iii) Content. Each
Statement of Work shall be substantially in the form set forth in Schedule B (except to the
extent any elements of Schedule B
are excluded from the scope of that Statement of Work) and shall include a
Transition Plan if applicable.
(iv) Statement of Work and Transition
Plan. Genpact shall develop a draft Statement of
Work (or an amendment to an existing Statement of Work), including, if
applicable, a Transition Plan, for Wachovias review, as soon as possible after
Wachovias request therefor. Genpact
shall make any amendments requested by Wachovia and agreed to by the
Parties. The Statement of Work or
amendment to existing Statement of Work shall become effective only when signed
by the Parties.
(v) Performance. After
the Statement of Work or amendment has been signed by the Parties, Genpact
shall begin to perform the Services in accordance with the Statement of Work or
amended Statement of Work on the SOW Commencement Date.

(d) Statement of Work Proposal Costs. The
hours expended by Genpact in performing the due diligence contemplated by Section 4.2(c)(i) and preparing
Statements of Work, Statement of Work amendments, or other proposals or plans
or reporting on the status of the development of such Statements of Work shall
not be charged to Wachovia unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.
(e) Additional Work or
Reprioritization.
(i) In addition to the foregoing, the Wachovia
Project Executive or his or her designee may identify new or additional work
activities to be performed by Genpact Personnel or reprioritize or reset the
schedule for existing work activities to be performed by Genpact
Personnel. Unless otherwise agreed,
Wachovia shall incur no additional charges for the performance of such work
activities performed by Genpact Personnel to the extent such work activities
can be performed with the same level of FTE support as set forth in the
applicable Statement of Work. If and to
the extent such work activities cannot be performed with the same level of FTE
support as set forth in the applicable Statement of Work, Genpact shall notify
Wachovia thereof and Wachovia may either (A) forego such new or additional
work activities or (B) address the cost of the additional FTE support
required.
(ii) Genpact shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to perform such work activities without impacting (A) the
established schedule for other tasks or (B) the performance of the
Services in accordance with the Service Levels.
If any such request is likely to have any such impact, Genpact shall
notify Wachovia of the anticipated impact and obtain its consent prior to
proceeding with such work activities. If
Genpact so notifies Wachovia of such impact, Wachovia may, in its sole
discretion, either (1) forgo or delay such new or additional work
activities or (2) adjust the work to be performed by Genpact, the
schedules associated therewith or the Service Levels in order to permit Genpact
to perform such new or additional work activities without impacting the
established schedule for other tasks or the performance of the Services in
accordance with the Service Levels.
Genpact shall not make changes to any such Statement of Work that may
affect the projected cost to Wachovia or the schedule for completion of the
activities and deliverables under such Statement of Work without obtaining
Wachovias prior approval.
4.3 [RESERVED].
4.4 Transition Services.
(a) Methodology. Except
to the extent otherwise agreed in any Statement of Work, the Parties shall use
Genpacts transition methodology described in Schedule C,
supplemented by Wachovias then-current Corporate Readiness Assessment Program,
for Transition Services required under a Statement of Work and the Charges for
Transition Services shall conform to the pricing methodology for Transition
Services set forth in Schedule O. In the event that the Parties agree in a
Statement of Work that Genpacts transition methodology shall not be used for
Transition Services under such Statement of Work, the Parties shall still use
Wachovias then-current Corporate Readiness Assessment Program for such
Transition Services.
(b) Transition. During the Transition Period set
forth in any Statement of Work, Genpact shall perform the Transition Services
and provide the deliverables described in the Transition Plan set forth in such
Statement of Work. During the Transition
Period, Wachovia shall perform those tasks which are designated to be Wachovias
responsibility in the Transition Plan.
Unless otherwise agreed, Wachovia shall not incur any charges, fees or
expenses payable to Genpact or third parties in connection with the Transition
Services, other than those charges, fees and expenses specified in this
Agreement, Schedule O or the
applicable Statement of Work and those

incurred by Wachovia in connection with its performance of tasks designated
in the Transition Plan as Wachovias responsibility.
(c) Performance.
Genpact shall perform the Transition Services described in the
Transition Plan pursuant to a Statement of Work in accordance with the schedule
and Transition Milestones set forth therein.
Genpact shall provide all cooperation and assistance reasonably required
or requested by Wachovia in connection with Wachovias evaluation or testing of
the deliverables set forth in the Transition Plan. Genpact shall perform the Transition Services
in a manner that will not, except as may be otherwise provided in the
Transition Plan, materially (i) disrupt or have an adverse impact on the
business or operations of Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients,
(ii) degrade the Services then being received by Wachovia or the Eligible
Recipients, or (iii) interfere with the ability of Wachovia or the
Eligible Recipients to obtain the full benefit of the Services. Prior to performing any Transition Services,
Genpact shall discuss with Wachovia all known process-specific material risks
and shall not proceed with such activity until Wachovia is reasonably satisfied
with the plans with regard to such risks.
Genpact shall identify and resolve, with Wachovias reasonable
assistance, any problems that may impede or delay the timely completion of each
task in the Transition Plan that is Genpacts responsibility or in Genpacts
control and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Wachovia with
the resolution of any problems that may impede or delay the timely completion
of each task in the Transition Plan that is Wachovias responsibility or in
Wachovias control.
(d) Reports.
Genpact shall meet at least weekly (or at such other intervals as may be
set forth in a Statement of Work) with Wachovia to report on its progress in
performing its responsibilities and meeting the timetable set forth in the
Transition Plan for the applicable Statement of Work. Genpact also shall provide written reports to
Wachovia at least weekly (or at such other intervals as may be set forth in a
Statement of Work) regarding such matters, and shall provide oral reports more
frequently if reasonably requested by Wachovia.
Genpact shall promptly notify Wachovia of material delays affecting the
timetable set forth in the Transition Plan and shall identify for Wachovias
consideration and approval specific measures to address such delay and mitigate
the risks associated therewith.
(e) Suspension or Delay of Transition
Activities. Wachovia reserves
the right, in its sole discretion and subject to Change Control Procedures
(except that the cost shall be allocated as set forth in this Section 4.4(e)), to suspend or
delay the performance of any Transition Services. If Wachovia elects to exercise this right and
Wachovias decision is based, at least in material part, on reasonable concerns
about Genpacts ability to perform the Services under the applicable Statement
of Work or Genpacts failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement,
Wachovia shall not incur any additional Charges or reimbursable expenses in
connection with such decision. If
Wachovias decision is not based in material part on reasonable concerns about
Genpacts ability to perform the Services under the applicable Statement of
Work or Genpacts failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement,
Wachovia shall reimburse Genpact for any additional costs reasonably incurred
by Genpact as a result of such decision, but only to the extent Genpact
notifies Wachovia in advance of such costs that are reasonably foreseeable, obtains
Wachovias approval prior to incurring any additional costs and uses
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such costs.
(f) Failure to Meet Transition
Milestones.
(i) The Parties acknowledge and agree that each
Transition Plan shall specify various Transition Milestones by which material
transition activities and/or deliverables must be completed. If Genpact fails to meet a Transition
Milestone, which failure is not excused as described in Section 7.1(e)(ii), Genpact shall
pay Wachovia the Deliverable Credit(s), if any, specified in the Transition
Plan for such Transition Milestone.

(ii) Neither the Transition Services nor the
activities and deliverables associated with individual Transition Milestones
shall be deemed complete until Wachovias acceptance of such activities and
deliverables in accordance with the acceptance criteria set forth in the
Transition Plan.
(iii) In addition to any Deliverable Credit provided
pursuant to this Section 4.4(f),
if Genpact fails to meet the date specified for any Transition Milestone
(subject to Section 7.1(e)(ii),
Genpact shall not be entitled to any incremental compensation for work
associated with such Transition Milestone beyond that which Genpact would have
received if it had met such date.
4.5 Eligible Recipient Services.
(a) Eligible Recipients.
Genpact shall provide the Services to Eligible Recipients designated by
Wachovia. To the extent a designated
Eligible Recipient will receive less than all of the Services, Wachovia shall
identify the categories of Services to be provided by Genpact to such Eligible
Recipient in the applicable Statement of Work.
(b) New Eligible Recipients. From
time to time Wachovia may request that Genpact provide Services to Eligible
Recipients not previously receiving such Services under a Statement of
Work. Such Services shall be performed
in accordance with the terms, conditions and prices (excluding any
non-recurring transition or start-up activities specific to such Eligible
Recipients) then applicable to the provision of the same Services to existing
Eligible Recipients under the applicable Statement of Work. The Parties shall agree upon the cost of any
such non-recurring transition or start-up activities pursuant to the Change
Control Procedures.
(c) Merger or Acquisition. If Wachovia
signs a definitive agreement to execute a merger or acquisition, Genpact shall
provide commercially reasonable support for such merger or acquisition subject
to and in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Wachovia shall give Genpact notice of a merger
or acquisition for which Wachovia desires support from Genpact as soon as
practicable after the announcement of such merger or acquisition.
(ii) If Wachovia requests Genpacts support for a
merger or acquisition, Genpact shall comply with the requirements of Wachovias
merger and acquisitions project management office, including the timeline for
all merger and acquisition related activities and projects.
In the event that Wachovia or
a Wachovia Affiliate merges with or acquires an Entity that has an existing
agreement with Genpact or a Genpact Affiliate, Wachovia may, at its option upon
notice to Genpact, require Genpact to (A) continue to provide the services then
being provided to such Entity under such existing agreement under the terms and
conditions of such existing agreement or (B) provide such services under the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
In addition, Wachovia may designate such Entity as a Eligible Recipient
under this Agreement for other Services.
If Wachovia requires Genpact to provide the services then being provided
to such Entity under such existing agreement under the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and such existing agreement contemplates the payment of costs or
fees in connection with an early termination of such existing agreement, then
Wachovia shall pay Genpact all actual, unrecoverable Stranded Costs under such
existing agreement (as such term is defined in such agreement) plus all actual
transition costs incurred by Genpact in connection with the transition of the
services being performed under such existing services to this Agreement and
Genpact shall waive any portion of termination fees payable under such existing
agreement relating to lost profits. In
addition, in no

event shall the term of any
executory statement of work under the existing contract be reduced as a result
of such transition and the Executive Committee shall resolve any issues
concerning any pricing differential between such existing agreement and this
Agreement.
(d) Divestiture. In the
event Wachovia divests an Eligible Recipient, Wachovia may elect, on behalf of
the Eligible Recipient in question, that for a period (i) no greater than
twelve (12) months, such Eligible Recipient shall continue to obtain the
Services, or a portion of the Services specified by Wachovia, subject to and in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable
Statement of Work or (ii) to be agreed upon by Genpact and the Entity
executing such separate agreement, such Eligible Recipient shall obtain some or
all of the Services under a separate agreement between Genpact and an Entity
containing substantially similar terms and conditions as this Agreement. Alternatively, Wachovia may remove such
Eligible Recipient from the Eligible Recipients receiving Services under the
applicable Statement of Work as of a date specified by Wachovia and, at
Wachovias option, request Termination Assistance Services pursuant to Section 26.1 for such Eligible
Recipient. If the Services are provided
under a separate agreement, the Entity executing such agreement shall be
financially responsible for Charges for such Services if on the date of
execution such Entity would be deemed creditworthy under the Genpact rating
system for new customers as consistently applied and Wachovia shall have no
obligation to pay any fees in relation to the Services provided to such
Entity. If the Entity would not be
deemed creditworthy under such rating system and Wachovia is unwilling to
remain financially responsible for Charges for Services to be provided under a
separate agreement, Genpact may decline to enter into such an agreement with
such Entity. Services provided under
such separate agreement shall be included in the calculation of Service volumes,
if any, under this Agreement, but shall be excluded when determining any
Termination Charges that may be payable under this Agreement as a result of
termination for convenience of the applicable Statement of Work.
4.6 Use of Third Parties.
(a) Right of Use.
(i) As of the Effective Date Wachovia intends to
largely use Genpact for its offshore business process outsourcing during the
Term. However, nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed as a requirements or take-or-pay contract, and Wachovia
makes [[[***]]] under this Agreement. During
the Term, Wachovia shall provide Genpact an opportunity to bid on any business
processes considered by Wachovia for offshore outsourcing after the Effective
Date.
(ii) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or
interpreted as limiting Wachovias right or ability to add or delete Eligible
Recipients or to increase or decrease its demand for Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, but subject to Section 25.3,
this Agreement shall not be interpreted to prevent Wachovia or any Eligible
Recipient from obtaining from third parties (Wachovia
Third Party Contractors), or providing to itself, any or all of the
Services described in this Agreement or any Statement of Work or any other
services. To the extent Wachovia or an Eligible
Recipient obtains from Wachovia Third Party Contractors, or provides to itself,
any of the Services, the amount to be paid to Genpact by Wachovia shall be
equitably adjusted downward based on the resource Charges set forth in Schedule O and in the applicable
Statement of Work. Similarly, to the
extent Wachovia adds or deletes Eligible Recipients or increases or decreases
its demand for Services, the amount to be paid to Genpact by Wachovia shall be
adjusted in accordance with Schedule O
and the rates specified therein.

reasonable security requirements and (ii) Wachovia shall cause any
Wachovia Third Party Competitor who will have access to Proprietary Information
of Genpact to sign a confidentiality agreement in the form contained in Exhibit 1. Genpact shall not be required to disclose

alternative arrangement (at no cost to Wachovia or such Wachovia Third Party
Contractor) that will not disrupt the provision of Services to Wachovia or the
provision of services by such Wachovia Third Party Contractor to Wachovia (such
as by replacing a proprietary Genpact tool with a third party tool, at no
charge to Wachovia or such Wachovia Third Party Contractor).
4.7 Notice of Adverse Impact.
(a) Genpact Failures. If
Genpact becomes aware of any situation (including any act or omission of
Genpact, Wachovia, the Eligible Recipients or Wachovia Third Party Contractors)
(i) that has negatively impacted or reasonably could negatively impact the
maintenance of Wachovias or any Eligible Recipients financial integrity or
internal controls, the accuracy of Wachovias or any Eligible Recipients
financial, accounting, production quality or human resources records and
reports or compliance with Wachovia Rules, Wachovia Standards or applicable Laws, or (ii) that
has had or reasonably could have any other material adverse impact on the
Services, then Genpact shall promptly notify Wachovia of such situation and the
impact or expected impact and, if appropriate, Genpact and Wachovia shall meet
to formulate and implement an action plan to minimize or eliminate the impact
of such situation.
(b) Wachovia Failures. If
Wachovia or any Eligible Recipient becomes aware of any act or omission of
Wachovia, the Eligible Recipients or Wachovia Third Party Contractors that
(i) that has negatively impacted or reasonably could negatively impact
Genpacts ability to perform the Services, or (ii) that has had or
reasonably could have any other material adverse impact on Genpacts ability to
perform the Services, then Wachovia shall promptly notify Genpact of such act
or omission.
4.8 Key Wachovia Competitors.
During the Term, Genpact shall
not provide any services to any
Key Wachovia Competitor unless approved by Wachovia in advance in its sole
discretion. The foregoing sentence shall
not apply to finance and accounting services, human resource outsourcing
services, information technology or software services, or collection services
or any data analysis associated with such services, in each case provided by
Genpact on a shared service basis during the Term. Genpact represents to Wachovia that as of the
Effective Date Genpact does not provide any services to any Key Wachovia
Competitor other than as permitted by the second sentence of this Section 4.8.

for such Third Party Software with a Genpact license, (ii) replace such
Third Party Software with other Software offering equivalent features and

Contract, Genpact shall manage such Third Party Contract on Wachovias behalf
and at Wachovias expense and perform all obligations and enforce all rights
under such Third Party Contract as if Genpact were a party to such Third Party
Contract in Wachovias place. If,
despite using commercially reasonable efforts, management of such Third Party
Contract is not legally or contractually possible, the Parties shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine and adopt such alternative
approaches as are necessary and sufficient to provide the Services without such
Wachovia Consent. If such alternative
approaches are required for a period longer than sixty (60) days following
the applicable SOW Commencement Date and no reasonable workaround is available,
the Parties shall equitably adjust the applicable terms in the applicable
Statement of Work accordingly.
(c) Other Consents. If,
despite using commercially reasonable efforts, either Party is unable to obtain
any other Consent for which it is responsible (other than those described in Sections 5.3(a) and (b)), the Parties shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine and adopt such alternative
approaches as are necessary and sufficient to provide the Services without such
Consent. If such alternative approaches
are required for a period longer than sixty (60) days following the
applicable SOW Commencement Date and no reasonable workaround is available, the
Parties will equitably adjust the applicable terms, including the Charges, in
the applicable Statement of Work accordingly.

adverse impact on the use of the Services by Wachovia or the Eligible
Recipients, and no reasonable workaround is available, then within six (6)
months after the SOW Commencement Date Wachovia may terminate, pursuant to Section 25.2(a)(ii), any affected
portions of the relevant Statement of Work without payment of any Stranded
Costs or Termination Charges.
(e) Genpact Obligation to Perform. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the failure to obtain any Genpact
Consent shall not relieve Genpact of its obligations under this Agreement and
Genpact shall not be entitled to any additional compensation or reimbursement
amounts in connection with obtaining or failing to obtain any Genpact Consent
or implementing any alternative approach.

normal standards, applicable Law, then prior to incurring such costs Genpact
shall notify Wachovia and document and report to Wachovia the incremental costs
above the higher of Genpacts normal standards or applicable Law. For each such incremental cost, Wachovia

access to reasonable work/conference space at Genpact Facilities. At Wachovias request and subject to Genpacts
reasonable security requirements and, in respect of Wachovia Third Party
Contractors, Genpacts reasonable confidentiality requirements, Genpact shall
provide reasonable access to and use of such Genpact Facilities by Wachovia or
Wachovia Third Party Contractors to install and manage third party software and
equipment in connection with the Services.
(b) Co-location of Wachovia Employees.
Subject to Genpacts reasonable security requirements, Wachovia shall
have the right to co-locate employees of Wachovia or a Wachovia Affiliate at
any Genpact Facility used in connection with the Services; provided that the Parties
shall agree on any facility charge in connection with such location. Genpact shall provide all country- and
site-specific administrative services to support such co-located employees. If requested by Wachovia, Genpact shall
provide dedicated space to such employees performing Wachovia-managed
processes.
6.9 Use of Wachovia Facilities.
If a Statement of Work
contemplates that employees of Wachovia shall provide Genpact with the use of
and access to the Wachovia Facilities, Wachovias then-standard terms and
conditions for third party supplier use of such facilities shall apply. When using the Wachovia Facilities and when
at other Wachovia Sites, Genpact shall observe and comply with all Wachovia
policies, rules, and regulations applicable to such Wachovia Sites that have
been communicated to Genpact or Genpact Personnel in advance by such means as
are generally used by Wachovia to disseminate such information to its employees
or contractors, including those set forth on Schedule G
and those applicable to specific Wachovia Sites (collectively, Wachovia Rules), including those with respect to safety,
health, security, and the environment.
6.10 Assignment of Licenses, Leases and Related
Agreements.
If a Statement of Work
contemplates that Wachovia shall assign to Genpact, and Genpact shall assume
assignment of, particular Software licenses, Equipment leases or Third Party
Contracts, or both, the Parties shall include the terms and conditions of such
conveyance or assignment or both, as applicable, in such Statement of Work.
6.11 Notice of Defaults.
Wachovia and Genpact shall
promptly notify the other Party of any breach of, or misuse or fraud in
connection with, any Third Party Contract, Equipment lease or Third Party
Software license used in connection with the Services of which it becomes aware
and shall cooperate with the other Party to prevent or stay any such breach,
misuse or fraud.
6.12 Wachovia-Specific Policies and Other
Requirements.
The obligation of Genpact to
adhere to, or otherwise comply with, the policies, procedures, standards, plans

7. SERVICE LEVELS
7.1 General.
(a) General Performance Standards.
Beginning on the SOW Commencement Date (or, if later, the date on which
Genpact assumes responsibility for the Services in question in accordance with
the applicable Transition Plan), Genpact shall perform each Service under a
Statement of Work [[[***]]] In each
case, Genpact shall do so subject to, and as and to the extent permitted by,
the limitations of the agreed upon service delivery solution. To the extent the Parties have established a
Service Level for a specific Service in the applicable Statement of Work, the
obligations described in this Section 7.1(a)
shall not be construed to alter, expand or supersede such Service Level.
(b) Service Level Performance
Standards. Beginning on the SOW Commencement Date (or,
if later, the date on which Genpact assumes responsibility for the Services in
question in accordance with the applicable Transition Plan), Genpact shall
perform the Services so as to meet or exceed the Service Levels set forth in Exhibit F to Schedule B (Service Levels Matrix) of
the applicable Statement of Work. Unless
otherwise set forth in Exhibit F
to Schedule B to the
applicable Statement of Work, each Service Level shall consist of an expected
level (an Expected Service Level)
and a minimum level (a Minimum Service Level). The Parties agree that the expected level for
each Service Level [[[***]]] If such
levels are not documented and other suitable metrics (such as accepted industry
standards of leading providers of such business process outsourcing services)
do not exist and the Parties cannot agree on such metrics, the Parties shall
utilize a mutually agreeable service level determination methodology to
establish such metrics, during which period of time no Service Level Credits
shall apply. Each Service Level shall be
either a Service Level for which
Service Level Credits are specified (a Critical
Service Level) or a Service Level for which no Service Level
Credits are specified (a Key Measurement).
(c) Weighting and At Risk Amount.
(i) Service Level Credits will be allocated among
the Critical Service Levels
using a multiplier of the At Risk Amount of [[[***]]] (Pool Percentage Available for Allocation). Wachovia may from time to time, but no more
frequently than twice in any Contract Year, reallocate the Service Level Credit
percentages assigned to the Critical
Service Levels by giving Genpact at least sixty (60) days notice
of such reallocation.
(ii) The aggregate monthly amount payable for
Service Level Credits under any Statement of Work will not exceed [[[***]]] of
the monthly Charges payable to Genpact
for that month (At Risk Amount)
and no individual Critical Service
Level shall be weighted such that more than [[[***]]] of such monthly
Charges.
(d) Service Level Default. Any failure to meet the minimum
specified level of any Service Level shall be a Service Level Default. In addition, a number of failures (specified
in the applicable Statement of Work or, if not specified in such Statement of
Work, specified in the definition of Expected Service Level Default) to meet
any Expected Service Level shall be considered a Service Level Default.
(e) Responsibility.
(i) Genpact shall be responsible for meeting or
exceeding the applicable Service Levels even where doing so is dependent on the
provision of Services by Subcontractors or Managed Third Parties, except as
otherwise provided in the applicable Statement of Work.
(ii) Genpact acknowledges and agrees that (A) the
circumstances described in Section 11.2(b)
or (B) a force majeure event are the only circumstances in which its

17
failure to perform its responsibilities under this Agreement or any
Statement of Work or to meet the Service Levels will be excused.
7.2 Service Level Credits, Earnback and Deliverable
Credits.
(a) Service Level Credits.
Genpact recognizes that Wachovia is paying Genpact to deliver the
Services at specified Service Levels.
For each Service Level Default, in addition to other remedies available
to Wachovia, Genpact shall pay or credit to Wachovia the performance credits
specified in the applicable Statement of Work (Service
Level Credits) in recognition of the diminished value of the
Services resulting from Genpacts failure to meet the agreed upon level of
performance, and not as a penalty, calculated as follows:
(i) Exhibit F to Schedule
B to each Statement of Work sets forth the information required
to calculate the Service Level Credits Genpact shall pay to Wachovia (or apply
against the Charges) in the event of a Service Level Default. For each Service Level Default, Genpact shall
pay to Wachovia a Service Level Credit that will be computed in accordance with
the following formula:
[[[***]]]
(ii) If more than one Service Level Default has
occurred in a single month, the sum of the corresponding Service Level Credits
shall be credited to Wachovia.
(iii) In no event shall the aggregate amount of
Service Level Credits credited to Wachovia with respect to all Service Level
Defaults occurring in a single month exceed, in total, the At Risk Amount for
such month.
(iv) Genpact shall notify Wachovia if Wachovia
becomes entitled to a Service Level Credit, which notice shall be included in
the standard monthly reporting for Critical Service Levels and Key Measurements
and shall describe the Service Level Defaults for the month that is the subject
of the monthly Critical Service Level report.
The monthly reports shall also describe any failure to meet Key
Measurements for the month being reported on.
(v) The total amount of Service Level Credits that
Genpact will be obligated to pay to Wachovia with respect to Service Level
Defaults occurring each month (subject to Genpacts earnback rights), shall be
reflected on an invoice and credited to Wachovia in accordance with this
Agreement.
Under no circumstances shall
the imposition of Service Level Credits be construed as Wachovias sole or
exclusive remedy for any failure to meet the Service Levels. However, if Wachovia recovers monetary
damages from Genpact as a result of Genpacts failure to meet a Service Level,
Genpact shall be entitled to set-off against such damages any Service Level
Credits paid for the failure giving rise to such recovery. The express acknowledgment that a certain
amount of Service Level Credits or number of Service Level defaults constitutes
grounds for termination under Section 25.1(a)
or 25.2(a) does not imply
that a lesser amount or number cannot constitute a material breach of this
Agreement and therefore grounds for termination under other subsections.
(b) Earnback.
Genpact shall have Earnback opportunities with respect to each Service
Level Credit as follows:
(i) Within thirty (30) days after the end of each
Contract Year, Genpact shall provide a report to Wachovia that will include,
with respect to each Critical Service Level for

which there was a Service Level Default during the preceding Contract Year,
the following:
(A) Statistics on Genpacts average monthly
performance in that Critical Service Level during the preceding Contract Year.
(B) The total amount of Service Level Credits
imposed for Service Level Defaults in that Critical Service Level.
(ii) If, during the preceding Contract Year, Genpact
achieved a Yearly Performance Average in a Critical Service Level that was
equal to or greater than the Expected Service Level in effect for such Critical
Service Level during the preceding year, Genpact shall be entitled to receive
an earnback credit (Earnback Credit)
equal to all Service Level Credits assessed during the preceding Contract Year
for such Critical Service Level. In no
event will:
(A) the total amount of Earnback Credits for any
Contract Year exceed the total amount of Service Level Credits assessed for
Service Level Defaults in the applicable Critical Service Levels for that
Contract Year; or
(B) any Earnback Credit carry forward to subsequent
Contract Years or back to previous Contract Years.
(iii) If the Critical Service Level was in effect for
less than the entire Contract Year, the foregoing process shall be undertaken
only with respect to the portion of the Contract Year during which the Critical
Service Level was in effect. If the
Agreement (or any portion thereof) is terminated prior to the end of the Term,
the foregoing process shall be undertaken only with respect to the portion of
the Contract Year during which the Agreement (or applicable portion thereof)
was in effect.
(iv) The provision for Earnback shall only affect
Genpacts right to receive return of Service Level Credits provided to Wachovia
and shall have no effect on any other rights or remedies of Wachovia under the
Agreement, including rights of termination.
(c) Single Incident/Multiple
Defaults. If a single incident results in the failure
of Genpact to meet more than one Minimum Service Level, Wachovia shall have the
right to select any one of such multiple Minimum Service Level Defaults for
which it will be entitled to receive a Service Level Credit. Wachovia shall not
be entitled to a Service Level Credit for each of such Minimum Service Level
Defaults.
(d) Presumptive Service Levels.
(i) Certain Service Levels may be identified on Exhibit F to Schedule B to each Statement of Work as
Presumptive Service Levels. Genpact
shall begin measuring its performance against such Presumptive Service Levels
on the SOW Commencement Date (or, if later, the date on which Genpact assumes
responsibility for the Services in question in accordance with the Transition
Plan). Genpact shall continue such
service measurements for six (6) months.
Genpact shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the
Presumptive Service Levels during the measurement period, but Service Level
Credits shall not be assessed for any failure to meet such Presumptive Service
Levels during such period.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the
SOW Commencement Date (or, if later, the date on which Genpact assumes
responsibility for the Services in question in accordance with the Transition
Plan), Wachovia provides Genpact with historical measurement data sufficient to
verify a requested Service Level, such Service Level shall be final and shall
no longer be treated as a Presumptive Service Level.
(iii) After the level of service has been measured
for the specified number of months, Wachovia and Genpact shall review the
measurement trends and the levels of service quality that were attained or
demonstrated to be attainable during the measurement period and shall set the
final Service Level as follows:
(A) If the service measurements demonstrate that
Genpact has consistently met or is capable of consistently meeting a particular
Presumptive Service Level, such Presumptive Service Level shall be established
as the final Service Level for such Service.
(B) If the service measurements demonstrate that
Genpact has consistently exceeded or is capable of consistently exceeding a
particular Presumptive Service Level, the Parties shall increase the Service
Level accordingly in establishing the final Service Level for such Service.
(C) If the service measurements demonstrate that
Genpact has consistently and materially failed to meet a particular Presumptive
Service Level, the Parties shall review any available service measurements for
the twelve (12) months preceding the SOW Commencement Date. If service
measurements exist for at least six (6) consecutive months and the available
service measurements confirm that Wachovia met or exceeded the Presumptive
Service Level, such Presumptive Service Level shall be established as the final
Service Level for such Service. Genpact
shall then expeditiously take all remedial action necessary to begin meeting
the final Service Level.
(D) In all other circumstances, if the service
measurements demonstrate that Genpact has consistently and materially failed to
meet a particular Presumptive Service Level, Genpact shall conduct an analysis
to determine: (1) the cause(s) of Genpacts failure to meet the Presumptive
Service Levels; (2) whether it is possible for Genpact, using commercially
reasonable efforts, to meet the Presumptive Service Level without making
material changes in the Agreement; (3) the Service Level Genpact could meet using
commercially reasonable efforts, but without making material changes in the
Agreement; and (4) the changes that would have to be made to permit Genpact to
meet the higher Presumptive Service Level. If the Parties agree that the
analysis demonstrates that the Presumptive Service Level is capable of being
met, that Presumptive Service Level shall be established as the final Service
Level for such Service. Genpact shall then expeditiously take any remedial
action necessary to begin meeting the final Service Level. If the Parties agree
that the analysis demonstrates that the failure to meet the Presumptive Service
Level is not attributable to Genpacts failure to competently perform its
obligations under the Agreement and that it is not possible for Genpact using
commercially reasonable efforts, to meet such Presumptive Service Level,
Wachovia may, at its option, (aa) set the applicable Service Level for such
Service at the highest level the Parties agree that Genpact could meet using
commercially reasonable efforts, or (bb) authorize Genpact to make some or all
of the changes identified as necessary to meet a higher Service Level.

(e) Deliverable Credits.
Genpact recognizes that Wachovia is paying Genpact to provide certain Critical Deliverables by the time and
in the manner agreed by the Parties. If
Genpact fails to meet its obligations with respect to such Critical Deliverables, then, in
addition to other remedies available to Wachovia, Genpact shall pay or credit
to Wachovia the amounts (the Deliverable Credits)
specified in the applicable Statement of Work or established by Wachovia as
part of the project approval
process on a case by case basis in recognition of the diminished value of the
Services resulting from Genpacts failure to meet the agreed upon level of
performance, and not as penalty. If
Wachovia recovers monetary damages from Genpact as a result of Genpacts
failure to meet its obligations with respect to one (1) or more Critical Deliverables, Genpact shall
be entitled to set-off against such damages any Deliverable Credits paid for
the failures giving rise to such recovery.
7.3 Problem Analysis.
If Genpact fails to provide
Services in accordance with the Service Levels and this Agreement, Genpact
shall (after restoring service or otherwise resolving any immediate
problem) (a) (i) promptly investigate and report on the causes of the
problem; (ii) provide a Root Cause Analysis of such failure as soon as
practicable after such failure; (iii) correct the problem as soon as
practicable (regardless of cause or fault) or coordinate the correction of
the problem if Genpact does not have responsibility for the cause of the
problem; and (iv) advise Wachovia of the status of remedial efforts being
undertaken with respect to such problem; and (b) if Genpact does have responsibility
for the cause of the problem, (i) demonstrate to Wachovias reasonable
satisfaction that the causes of such problem have been or will be corrected on
a permanent basis, and (ii) take commercially reasonable actions to
prevent any recurrence of such problem.
Genpact shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Root
Cause Analysis within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the
failure; provided that, if it is not capable of being completed within thirty
(30) days using reasonable diligence, Genpact shall complete such Root
Cause Analysis as quickly as possible and shall notify Wachovia prior to the
end of the initial thirty (30) day period as to the status of the Root
Cause Analysis and the estimated completion date. Genpact shall implement a
process to execute Root Cause Analysis as specified in this Section 7.3. Genpact shall submit a description of such
process to Wachovia for Wachovias approval.
Genpact shall modify such process as requested by Wachovia.
7.4 Continuous Improvement Reviews.
The Parties agree to the
concept of continuous improvement in Service Levels and that the Critical
Service Levels and Key Measurements should be modified during the Term to
reflect continuous improvement. To
accomplish this, Critical Service Levels and Key Measurements will be modified
at the end of each Contract Year as described below and such modifications
shall be documented pursuant to the Change Control Procedures:
[[[***]]]
7.5 Measurement and Monitoring.
On or before the SOW
Commencement Date, or such other date set forth in the Transition Plan for the
applicable Statement of Work, Genpact shall implement measurement and
monitoring tools and metrics as well as standard reporting procedures, all
acceptable to Wachovia, to measure and report Genpacts performance of the
Services at a level of detail sufficient to verify Genpacts compliance with
the applicable Service Levels. If and to
the extent that Wachovia makes any of its existing tools available to Genpact
for such purpose, Genpact shall use such tools unless otherwise approved or
directed by Wachovia in writing.
Wachovia or its designee (other than a Genpact Competitor) shall have
the right to audit all such measurement and reporting tools, performance
metrics and reporting procedures.
Genpact shall provide Wachovia with on-line access to up-to-date problem
management data and other data regarding the status of service problems,
service requests and user inquiries.
Genpact also shall provide Wachovia with

access to the data used by
Genpact to calculate its performance against the Service Levels and the
measurement and monitoring tools and procedures utilized by Genpact to generate
such data for purposes of audit and verification. Wachovia shall not be required to pay any
amount in addition to the Charges for such measurement and monitoring tools or
the resource utilization associated with their use.
7.6 Satisfaction Surveys.
(a) Genpact Conducted Surveys.
Genpact (and/or independent third parties engaged by Genpact) shall
conduct satisfaction surveys of the applicable management of Wachovia and the
Eligible Recipients in accordance with the survey protocols and procedures
specified in Schedule H and the
applicable Statement of Work.
Satisfaction as measured by such surveys shall be either a Critical
Service Level or a Key Measurement as specified in the applicable Statement of
Work. If Genpact engages an independent
third party to perform all or any part of any satisfaction survey, such third
party shall be approved in advance by Wachovia.
Genpact shall be responsible for the cost of all such surveys conducted
pursuant to this Section 7.6(a),
Schedule H or a Statement of
Work.
(b) Wachovia Conducted Surveys. In
addition to the satisfaction surveys to be conducted pursuant to Section 7.6(a), Wachovia may
survey satisfaction with Genpacts performance in connection with, and as part
of, broader satisfaction surveys periodically conducted by Wachovia. At Wachovias request, Genpact shall
cooperate and assist Wachovia with the formulation of the survey questions,
protocols and procedures and the execution and review of such surveys. If Wachovia engages an independent third
party to perform all or any part of any satisfaction survey, Wachovia shall be
responsible for the cost of all such surveys conducted pursuant to this Section 7.6(b).
(c) Survey Follow-up. If the
results of any satisfaction survey conducted pursuant to Section 7.6(a)
or (b) indicate that the level of
satisfaction with Genpacts performance of the Services is less than the target
level specified in the applicable Statement of Work, Genpact shall promptly
(consistent with the severity and materiality of the problem): (i) conduct
a Root Cause Analysis as to the cause of such dissatisfaction;
(ii) develop an action plan to address and improve the level of
satisfaction, including the specific measures to be taken by Genpact;
(iii) present such plan to Wachovia for its review, comment and approval;
and (iv) take action in accordance with the approved plan and as necessary
to improve the level of satisfaction.
Within thirty (30) days after the completion of the measures
described in such action plan, Genpact shall conduct follow-up surveys with the
affected management to confirm that the cause of any dissatisfaction has been addressed
and that the level of satisfaction has improved. Genpact shall pay to Wachovia any Deliverable
Credit(s) specified in the approved action plan for Genpacts failure to attain
the prescribed satisfaction levels or to take the actions set forth in such
action plan by the agreed dates.
8. GENPACT PERSONNEL
8.1 Genpact Personnel Are Not Wachovia Employees.
Except as otherwise expressly
set forth in this Agreement, the Parties intend to create an independent
contractor relationship and nothing in this Agreement shall operate or be
construed as making Wachovia (or the Eligible Recipients) and Genpact
partners, joint venturers, principals, joint employers, agents or employees of
or with the other. No officer, director,
employee, agent, Affiliate, contractor or subcontractor retained by Genpact to
perform work on Wachovias behalf hereunder shall be deemed to be an officer,
director, employee, agent, Affiliate, contractor or subcontractor of Wachovia
or the Eligible Recipients for any purpose.
Genpact, not Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients, has the right, power,
authority and duty to supervise and direct the activities of the Genpact
Personnel and to compensate such Genpact Personnel for any work performed by
them on the behalf of Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients pursuant to this

Operations Leader shall be Anju Talwar. The Global Operations Leader shall (a) be one of the Key
Employees; (b) be a full-time employee of Genpact; (c) devote his or
her full time and effort to managing the Services; (d) remain in this
position for a minimum period of three (3) years from the initial
assignment (except as a result of voluntary resignation, involuntary

Services, billing and relationship management.
8.3 Key Employees.
(a) Selection of Key Employees.
(i) Genpact shall actively involve Wachovia in the
selection process for Key Employees. Key
Employees shall be chosen from the top performers among Genpacts employees
based on the last full years performance review, unless Wachovia approves the
hiring of a new employee for a Key Employees position in order to obtain an
individual with specific skill sets and experience required in connection with
the Services. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing two sentences, before assigning an individual to
act as one of the Key Employees whether as an initial assignment or a
subsequent assignment and whether under this Agreement or any Statement of
Work, Genpact shall discuss the proposed assignment with Wachovia, introduce
the individual to appropriate Wachovia representatives (including by
telephone), provide a reasonable opportunity for Wachovia representatives to
interview the individual, and provide Wachovia with a resume and such other
information about the individual as may be reasonably requested by
Wachovia. Genpact shall only assign an
individual to a Key Employees position who has been approved by Wachovia.
(ii) The Global Operations Leader and his or her
direct reports (the Executive Management Team) shall be Key Employees.
The Key Employees on the Executive Management Team that have been
selected and approved as of the Effective Date are listed in Schedule J.
(iii) Genpact shall identify and obtain Wachovias
approval of all Key Employees under a Statement of Work prior to the completion
of any Transition Services as set forth in a Statement of Work or, if no
Transition Services are specified, then prior to the SOW Commencement
Date. Unless the Parties agree
otherwise, there shall be at least one (1) individual designated as a Key
Employee for each Statement of Work.
(iv) Wachovia may from time to time change the
positions designated as Key Employees under this Agreement or any Statement of
Work with Genpacts approval.
(b) Continuity of Key Employees.
Genpact shall cause each of the Key Employees to devote full time and
effort for at least two (2) years from the date he or she assumes the
position in question to the provision of Services under this Agreement. Genpact
shall not transfer, reassign or remove

any of the Key Employees (except as a result of voluntary resignation,
involuntary termination for cause, illness, disability or death) or
announce its intention to do so during such period without the prior approval
of both the Executive Committee and Wachovia.
In the event of the voluntary resignation, involuntary termination for
cause, illness, disability or death of one of its Key Employees during or after
the specified period, Genpact shall (i) give Wachovia as much notice as
reasonably possible of such development, and (ii) expeditiously identify
and obtain Wachovias approval of a suitable replacement. In addition, even after the period specified
above, Genpact shall transfer, reassign to another account or remove any of its
Key Employees only after (i) giving Wachovia at least forty-five
(45) days prior notice of such action, (ii) identifying and
obtaining Wachovias approval of a suitable replacement at least thirty
(30) days prior to the effective date of such transfer, reassignment or
removal, and (iii) completing any and all necessary knowledge transfer
between the departing Key Employees and his or her Wachovia-approved
replacement. Under no circumstances
shall Genpact transfer, assign, reassign to another account or remove more than
twenty percent (20%) of the Key Employees in any six (6) month period except as
may result from a voluntary resignation, involuntary termination for cause,
illness, disability or death of any Key Employee.
(c) Incentive Compensation. To the
extent permitted by Law, Genpact shall consult Wachovia on the performance
reviews for the Global Operations Leader and the other Key Employees and shall
provide Wachovia a meaningful opportunity to provide information to Genpact
with respect to Wachovias evaluation of such Genpact Personnels
performance. Such information shall be
considered and accorded substantial weight by Genpact in its evaluation of, and
in establishing compensation for, such Genpact Personnel. Such input may be based upon (i) the
level of customer satisfaction reflected in the periodic customer satisfaction
surveys and (ii) the extent to which Genpact has met or exceeded the
Service Levels and Genpacts other responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement.
(d) Retention and Succession.
Genpact shall implement and maintain a retention strategy designed to
retain Key Employees on the Wachovia account for the prescribed period. Genpact shall also maintain active succession
plans for each of the Key Employees positions.
(e) Visas. All
Key Employees shall have a valid visa for travel to the United States at any
time while he or she is designated as a Key Employee.
8.4 Selection, Qualifications, Retention and
Replacement of Genpact Personnel.
(a) Sufficiency and Suitability of
Genpact Personnel. Genpact shall assign (or cause to be
assigned) sufficient Genpact Personnel possessing suitable competence, ability,
training and qualifications to provide the Services in accordance with this
Agreement.
(b) Screening and Disqualification
of Genpact Personnel.
(i) Genpact shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that Genpact Personnel have not been convicted of a felony,
do not use illegal drugs and are not otherwise disqualified from performing the
assigned work under applicable Laws.
(ii) To the extent allowed by applicable Laws,
Genpact shall perform a background check and a Wachovia-approved drug test on,
and at Wachovias request, fingerprint, each individual prior to his or her
assignment as Genpact Personnel.
(iii) Genpact shall implement any additional
requirements imposed on Wachovia for screening of Genpact Personnel at Wachovias
expense.

(iv) Individuals who do not meet criteria acceptable
to Wachovia shall not be assigned as Genpact Personnel.
(c) Authority to Work.
Genpact shall ensure that each member of the Genpact Personnel is
authorized to work in the country in which he or she is assigned to perform
Services (including holding valid passports and/or visas, as applicable).
(d) Passports. Within
nine (9) months after his or her assignment to the Genpact Personnel, each
member of the Genpact Personnel shall have a valid passport issued by his or
her country of origin. If any member of
the Genpact Personnel is not able to obtain a passport within such period for
reasons other than procedural issues, Genpact shall remove such individual from
the Genpact Personnel unless otherwise approved by Wachovia.
(e) Training and Orientation.
Genpact shall provide new-hire orientation and generic, non-business
process specific training to Genpact Personnel.
Genpact shall not invoice Wachovia any Charges for newly-hired Genpact
Personnel for the period of time after hiring during which Genpact provides
such orientation and training. Such
generic orientation and training shall include training on Wachovia Rules and
Wachovia Standards (except process-specific Wachovia Standards). Genpact shall also provide process-specific

Statement of Work as set forth in such Statement of Work. Genpacts costs for process-specific training
for such newly-hired Genpact Personnel shall be reimbursed by Wachovia.

pool of Genpact Personnel in addition to those Genpact Personnel dedicated to
performing Services and shall train such resource pool in Wachovia Rules,
Wachovia Standards and the tools, methodologies and other necessary areas to
provide support to Wachovia. Where
appropriate, resources in such resource pool may perform productive work (i.e.,
job-shadowing) for Wachovia. The
size of such resource pool shall be determined by the Operating Council from time to time based on Wachovias

then-current attrition rates, including the anticipated higher attrition rate
during the initial sixty (60) day period for each in-scope business process.
(g) Selection of Supervisory and
Management Personnel. Genpact shall actively involve Wachovia in

positions. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, before assigning an individual to a

subsequent assignment and whether under this Agreement or any Statement of
Work, Genpact shall discuss the proposed assignment with Wachovia, introduce
the individual to appropriate Wachovia representatives (including by
telephone), and provide Wachovia with a resume and such other information about
the individual as may be reasonably requested by Wachovia.
(h) Performance Reviews of
Supervisory and Management Personnel. To the extent permitted by Law,
Genpact shall consult Wachovia on the performance reviews for Genpact Personnel
in supervisory and/or management positions and shall provide Wachovia a
meaningful opportunity to provide information to Genpact with respect to
Wachovias evaluation of such Genpact Personnels performance. Such information shall be considered and
accorded substantial weight by Genpact in its evaluation of, and in
establishing compensation for, such Genpact Personnel. Such input may be based upon (i) the
level of customer satisfaction reflected in the periodic customer satisfaction
surveys and (ii) the extent to which Genpact has met or exceeded the
Service Levels and Genpacts other responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement.

Genpact Personnel shall be eligible at all times to participate in
Genpacts standard annual bonus pool as part of their compensation. Genpact shall consult Wachovia during the
establishment of its standard bonus pool program on an annual basis and shall
provide Wachovia a meaningful opportunity to provide input to Genpact with
respect to Wachovias evaluation of the Genpact Personnels performance. Such input shall be considered and accorded
substantial weight by Genpact in its evaluation of Genpact Personnel and their
participation in the annual bonus pool.
If after the annual bonus pool program has been established Wachovia
desires to increase such bonus pool for the Genpact Personnel, Genpact shall
accommodate Wachovias request and Wachovia shall reimburse Genpact for any
incremental amounts paid to the Genpact Personnel as a result of such request.
(j) Continuity of Genpact Personnel.
Genpact shall cause each of the Genpact Personnel (other than Key

from the date he or she assumes the position in question to the provision of
Services under this Agreement. Genpact
shall not transfer, reassign or remove any of the Genpact Personnel (except as
a result of voluntary resignation, involuntary termination for cause, illness,
disability or death) during such period without the prior approval of Wachovia.
(k) Requested Replacement. In the
event that Wachovia determines that the continued assignment to Wachovia of any
individual Genpact Personnel (including Key Employees) is not in the best

replaced. Genpact shall (i) within four
weeks after such notice (or within a reasonable period of time in respect of
the removal of Key Employees so that the Parties may comply with Section 8.3(a)), remove such
Genpact Personnel and (ii) as soon as practical after such notice, replace such
Genpact Personnel with an individual of suitable ability and qualifications,
without cost to Wachovia. If Wachovia
requires the immediate removal or replacement of any individual Genpact
Personnel (other than for breach of confidentiality or security obligations
under this Agreement or a Statement of Work, violation of Wachovia Rules, or
pursuant to Section 8.6(a)), Genpact
shall remove and replace such Genpact Personnel immediately and Wachovia shall
pay Genpact an amount equal to the compensation of such Genpact Personnel for
four (4) weeks. However, Genpact shall
immediately remove such Genpact Personnel if Wachovias request is based upon
breach of confidentiality or security obligations under this Agreement or a
Statement of Work, violation of Wachovia Rules or pursuant to Section 8.6(a) without cost to
Wachovia and shall replace such Genpact Personnel as soon as practicable. Nothing in this provision shall operate or be
construed to limit Genpacts responsibility for the acts or omission of the
Genpact Personnel, or be construed as joint employment.
8.5 Turnover Rate and Data.
(a) Genpact acknowledges that Wachovia desires to
keep the turnover rate of Genpact Personnel as low as possible in order, among
other things, to maintain the continuity of management and key skills. Wachovia shall consider in good faith paying

in their position for [[[***]]] and, for select employees, prior to the end of
such period as approved by Wachovia.
(b) Genpact shall monitor and provide a report to
Wachovia on the turnover rate within the Genpact Personnel on a monthly
basis. Genpact shall take commercially
reasonable necessary steps to keep the turnover rate of Genpact Personnel to a
level reasonably satisfactory to Wachovia.

Work, Wachovia and Genpact shall jointly establish a monthly expected level
of turnover and a maximum acceptable level of turnover based upon the

transaction volume fluctuations. The
Parties shall reconsider these levels of turnover at the beginning of each
Contract Year of the SOW Term and make any mutually agreeable adjustment.
(i) If during any month the turnover rate is above
the expected level but below the maximum acceptable level, then Genpact
shall prepare, and the Parties shall discuss and jointly agree upon, an action
plan to reduce such turnover rate and Genpact shall implement the agreed-upon
plan.
(ii) If during any month the turnover rate is above
the maximum acceptable level, then the Operating Council shall act
immediately to reduce, and Genpact shall invest [[[***]]] of the monthly Charges
paid under the affected Statement(s) of Work into measures to reduce, the
turnover rate below the maximum acceptable level and Genpact shall continue
to do so until the turnover rate falls below such level.

and Business Process Evolutions. Genpact shall identify, communicate to Wachovia on an ongoing basis,
and propose the implementation of Technology and Business Process Evolutions
that are likely to: (i) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the
Services (including cost savings); (ii) improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of the in-scope business process functions performed by or for
Wachovia and the Eligible Recipients; (iii) result in cost savings or
revenue increases to Wachovia and the Eligible Recipients in areas of their
business outside the Services; (iv) enhance the ability of Wachovia and
the Eligible Recipients to conduct their business and serve their customers;
and (v) achieve the Strategic Plans faster and/or more efficiently. At
least semi-annually, Genpact shall meet with Wachovia to formally brief
Wachovia regarding such Technology and Business Process Evolutions. Such briefing shall include Genpacts
assessment of the business impact, performance improvements and cost savings
associated with such Technology and Business Process Evolutions. Where requested by Wachovia, Genpact shall
develop and present to Wachovia proposals for implementing Technology and
Business Process Evolutions.
(b) Genpact Developed Advances. Subject
to any applicable non-disclosure obligations, if Genpact develops or implements
technological advances or changes Genpacts systems and technologies used to
provide the same or substantially similar services to the Services or Genpact
develops or implements new or enhanced processes, services, software, tools,
products or methodologies (collectively, New
Advances), Genpact shall (i) offer Wachovia the opportunity to
serve as a pilot customer in connection with the implementation of such New
Advances; and (ii) if Wachovia declines such opportunity, offer Wachovia
preferred access to such New Advances and the opportunity to be among the first
of the Genpact customer base to implement and receive the benefits of any New
Advances.
9.10 Genpact Technology and Business Process Plan.
(a) Plan. The Parties may designate in a Statement of
Work that Genpact shall develop a technology and business process plan
in respect of the Services to be provided under such Statement of Work (each, a
Technology and Business Process Plan). Each Technology and Business Process Plan
shall be consistent with the Wachovia Standards and Strategic Plan and, if
applicable, demonstrate how Genpact shall provide the Services to enable
Wachovia to achieve the Strategic Plan

objectives and to implement and support Wachovias business and information
technology objectives and strategies as provided by Wachovia to Genpact.
(b) Process. The process for developing and approving each
Technology and Business Process Plan shall be as follows. Genpact shall provide a draft Technology and
Business Process Plan each Contract Year that includes multi-year
implementation plans to achieve multi-year objectives. Wachovia shall review the draft Technology
and Business Process Plan and provide requested amendments. Genpact shall incorporate any such
amendments, unless it reasonably believes that any requested amendment would
not assist Wachovia to achieve its objectives and strategies. Wachovia and Genpact shall escalate any
disagreements about requested amendments to the draft Technology and Business
Process Plan in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure in Article 24. Following approval by Wachovia, the draft
Technology and Business Process Plan will replace the previous plan. Approval of the Technology and Business
Process Plan by Wachovia shall not relieve Genpact of any obligation under the
applicable Statement of Work or this Agreement in relation to its provision of
the Services under such Statement of Work.
(c) Contents. In the Technology and Business Process Plan,
Genpact shall, among other things, include plans for: (i) refreshing
Equipment and Software (consistent with the refresh cycles defined in Section 6.6);
(ii) adopting new technologies and business processes as part of the
Technology and Business Process Evolution of the Services, as defined in this
Agreement; and (iii) employing technologies and business process
strategies that are flexible enough to allow integration with new technologies
or business processes. In the Technology
and Business Process Plan, Genpact shall also present implementation plans for
the achievement of the Strategic Plan.
(d) Compliance and Reporting. Genpact shall implement the
Technology and Business Process Plan at all times, unless Wachovia agrees to
depart from the Technology and Business Process Plan. Any such agreement to depart from the
Technology and Business Process Plan from the date on which it is signed by
Wachovia shall not relieve Genpact of its responsibilities under the previous
plan prior to the date of such agreement.
9.11 Unauthorized Use.
Wachovia and Genpact shall
cooperate fully in efforts to prevent and cure unauthorized use of the Services
and/or Wachovia Facilities (including its network and transport
services) by expeditiously informing each other of suspected abuse and,
when known, the identity of the responsible individuals. Genpact shall advise Wachovia regarding
methods to minimize Wachovias and the Eligible Recipients exposure to misuse
and abuse of Wachovias and the Eligible Recipients service that results from
the operation of Wachovia or Eligible Recipient-provided systems, equipment,
facilities or services interconnected with Genpacts Services. Genpact shall provide assistance to Wachovia
and/or the Eligible Recipients upon Wachovias request in Genpacts efforts to
minimize ongoing misuse or abuse.
Appropriate representatives of Genpact, Wachovia and Eligible Recipient
shall meet periodically (including by telephone conference) at the request of
Wachovia to establish appropriate operational fraud control procedures. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each
of the Partys performance of its obligations under this Section 9.11
shall be subject to, and in accordance with, applicable Privacy Laws.
9.12 Retained Systems and Business
Processes.
(a) No Adverse Effect. Except
as expressly contemplated by any Statement of Work, Genpact shall not, by any
act or omission, (i) adversely affect or alter the functionality,
interoperability, performance, accuracy, speed, responsiveness, quality, cost
or resource efficiency of the Retained Systems and Business Processes without
the prior consent of Wachovia or (ii) require changes to the Retained
Systems and Business Processes, including associated business processes,

applications, systems, software, utilities, tools or equipment, without the
prior consent of Wachovia.
(b) Interface. Genpact
shall ensure that the processes, Systems, Software and Equipment used by
Genpact to provide the Services will interface and integrate with the Retained
Systems and Business Processes.
(c) Keep Informed. Genpact shall inform itself and maintain up
to date knowledge about all aspects of the existing and future Retained Systems
and Business Processes.
(d) Assistance. As part
of the Services, Genpact shall provide Wachovia (upon Wachovias request) with
Services in relation to Retained Systems and Business Processes,
including: (i) liaising with
Wachovia or third parties regarding the impact of any alterations to the
Retained Systems and Business Processes and of the impact of any alternation to
the Services on the Retained Systems and Business Processes; and
(ii) identifying favorable vendors in relation to the acquisition, support
and development of Retained Systems and Business Processes.
9.13 Network Configuration Data.
Genpact (a) shall provide
Wachovia (and Wachovia Third Party Contractors) with network configuration
data with respect to any network provided and used by Genpact to provide
Services to Wachovia and/or the Eligible Recipients; and (b) hereby grants
Wachovia (and Wachovia Third Party Contractors) the right to use such data
in connection with the performance of ancillary
services (e.g., security reviews or audits).
10. CONTINUED PROVISION OF
SERVICES
10.1 Disaster Recovery.
(a) Genpact Internal Enabling Functions Plan. During
the Term and any Termination Assistance
Period, Genpact shall maintain in effect a business continuity and
disaster recovery plan for the Genpact Facilities and all related Equipment,
Software, people, communications equipment and other infrastructure components
located at such Genpact Facilities (Genpact Internal Enabling
Functions Plan).
(b) Genpact Development of Wachovia-specific Disaster Recovery Plan. Within
sixty (60) days after each
SOW Commencement Date, Genpact shall, subject to Wachovias review and
approval, develop and implement a business continuity and disaster recovery
plan specifically for the applicable Services provided thereunder (each, a Disaster Recovery Plan).
Each Disaster Recovery Plan shall be coordinated with the Genpact
Internal Enabling Functions Plan and shall comply with the reasonable
requirements of Wachovias overall disaster recovery and business continuity
plans. Genpact shall have, at a minimum,
a secured backup site at a location approved by Wachovia at least two hundred
fifty (250) miles from the primary Genpact Facility containing all Equipment,
Software, communications equipment, and current copies of data and files
necessary to perform Genpacts obligations hereunder. Transfer to the backup site shall occur
within the period of time specified in the applicable Statement of Work after
system failure or other event that prevents Genpact from operating as usual at
its primary site. Genpact shall maintain
sufficient geographically dispersed facilities and resources, including staff,
equipment and data, to meet recovery and resumption objectives for critical
processes as defined by Wachovia from time to time. By doing so, Genpact agrees to the
appropriate management of risk related to the concentration of people, process
and technology. At the point in time
that there are five hundred (500) FTEs on the Wachovia account, Genpact shall
provide redundant capability, with adequate staffing and cross training, in an
alternate location that is not in the same metropolitan area.

(c) Updating and Testing of Plans. In
addition to the business continuity and disaster recovery Services described in
the applicable Statement of Work, Genpact shall, at least on a quarterly basis,
update and test the operability and effectiveness of the Genpact Internal
Enabling Functions Plan and each Disaster Recovery Plan, promptly provide the
results of testing to Wachovia and certify to Wachovia that such plans are
fully operational. At Wachovias request, Genpact shall (i) permit
Wachovia to participate in testing of the Genpact Internal Enabling Functions
Plan and each Disaster Recovery Plan and
(ii) at no additional cost to Wachovia, participate in an annual test of
Wachovias business continuity, disaster recovery and backup plans.
(d) Implementation. Upon the occurrence of a force majeure event,
Genpact shall implement promptly, as appropriate, the Genpact Internal Enabling
Functions Plan and the Disaster Recovery Plan and provide disaster recovery
Services as described in the applicable Statement of Work. The occurrence of a force majeure event shall
not relieve Genpact of its obligation to implement the Disaster Recovery Plan
and provide disaster recovery Services, except to the extent a force majeure
event impacts Genpacts ability to implement such plan and provide such
services.
10.2 Force Majeure.
(a) General. Subject to Section 10.1,
neither Party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement 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, wars, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions,
acts of terrorism, strikes, lockouts or labor disputes or any other similar
cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party, except to the extent such
default or delay is caused by such Partys failure to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or the applicable Statement of Work and provided that such
default or delay cannot reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing Party
through the use of alternative sources, workaround plans or other means. A strike, lockout or labor dispute involving
Genpact Personnel shall not excuse Genpact from its obligations hereunder. In addition, the refusal of a Genpact
Personnel to enter a facility that is the subject of a labor dispute shall
excuse Genpact from its obligations hereunder only if and to the extent such
refusal is based upon a reasonable fear of harm.
(b) Duration and Notification. 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 prevented, hindered
or delayed in its performance shall, as quickly as practicable under the
circumstances, notify the Party to whom performance is due by telephone (to be
confirmed in writing within one (1) day of the inception of such delay) and
describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances of the force majeure
event, the steps being taken to address such force majeure event, and the expected
duration of such force majeure event.
(c) Substitute Services; Termination. Each Statement of Work shall
identify critical Wachovia or Eligible Recipient functions. If any event described in Section 10.2(a) has
substantially prevented, hindered or delayed or is reasonably expected to
substantially prevent, hinder or delay the performance by Genpact of Services
necessary for the performance of critical Wachovia or Eligible Recipient
functions for longer than the recovery period specified in the applicable
Disaster Recovery Plan or, if there is no such recovery period specified in
such Disaster Recovery Plan, three (3) days, Genpact shall, unless and until
otherwise directed by Wachovia, use commercially reasonable efforts to procure
such Services from an alternate source at Genpacts expense for so long as the
delay in performance shall continue, up to the Charges actually paid to Genpact
for the Services with respect to the period of non-performance. If Genpact is unable to procure such substitute
services on an expedited basis or Wachovia elects to contract directly for such
services, Wachovia may procure such Services from an alternate source at
Wachovias

expense. In addition, if any event described in Section 10.2(a)
substantially prevents, hinders or delays the performance by Genpact, its
Subcontractors or an alternate source paid by Genpact of Services necessary for
the performance of critical Wachovia or Eligible Recipient functions for more
than fifteen (15) days, Wachovia, at its option, may terminate any portion of a
Statement of Work so affected immediately upon notice to Genpact without
payment of any Stranded Costs or Termination Charges and the Charges payable
hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to reflect those terminated Services. Genpact shall not be entitled to any
additional payments or increased usage charges as a result of any force majeure
event affecting Genpacts ability to perform (unless such ability to perform is
affected solely because of the effect of such force majeure event on Wachovia).
10.3 Payment Obligation.
If Genpact
fails to provide Services due to the occurrence of a force majeure event, the
Charges payable to Genpact under the applicable Statement of Work shall be
equitably adjusted in a manner such that Wachovia is not required to pay any
amounts for Services that it is not receiving whether from Genpact or from an
alternate source at Genpacts expense pursuant to Section 10.2(c).
10.4 Allocation of Resources.
Without
limiting Genpacts obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Statement
of Work, whenever a force majeure event or disaster causes Genpact to allocate
limited resources between or among Genpacts customers and Affiliates, Wachovia
and the Eligible Recipients shall receive at least the same treatment as
comparable Genpact customers. In no
event will Genpact re-deploy or re-assign any Key Employees to another customer
or account in the event of the occurrence of a force majeure event.
10.5 Step-In Rights.
(a) Step-In Events. The Parties may
specify in any Statement of Work an event or events upon the occurrence of
which Wachovia may exercise step-in rights as set forth in such Statement of
Work (Step-In Events), which shall be in the
nature of significant, unresolved operational problems or to address regulatory
concerns.
(b) Step-In Rights. Upon the occurrence
of any Step-In Event in respect of a Statement of Work in which the Parties
have specified Step-In Events, Wachovia may, at its option, take control of the
Services being performed under such Statement of Work as set forth in such
Statement of Work and, in doing so, may take such other action as is reasonably
necessary to ensure continuity of such Services as set forth in such Statement
of Work.
(c) Cooperation. Genpact shall fully
cooperate with Wachovia (and the Wachovia personnel, Wachovia agents and Wachovia Third Party Contractors) as
reasonably necessary to ensure continuity of the Services being performed at
any Genpact Facility or at any Wachovia Facility at which Wachovia exercises its
step-in rights set forth in the applicable Statement of Work, including giving
Wachovia (and the Wachovia personnel, Wachovia agents and Wachovia Third Party Contractors)
reasonable access to all relevant Genpact Personnel and resources, Equipment
and Software located at such Genpact Facility or Wachovia Facility and
following the reasonable instructions of Wachovia (and the Wachovia personnel,
Wachovia agents and Wachovia Third Party Contractors).
(d) Resolution Plan. Subject to Section 10.5(e):
(i) If Wachovias control over the Services under a
Statement of Work providing for step-in rights is likely to exceed thirty (30)
days, Genpact will work with Wachovia to develop a

38
plan to rectify the Step-In Event, which if appropriate shall include the
process set forth in Section 7.3. The plan shall describe the objective
criteria upon the satisfaction of which Wachovia will transfer control over the
Services back to Genpact.
(ii) Once such a plan is approved by Wachovia, Genpact will implement the
approved plan.
(iii) Upon successful implementation of the approved plan and satisfaction of
such objective criteria to Wachovias reasonable satisfaction, Wachovia will
transfer control over the Services back to Genpact.
(e) Termination or Removal of
Services.
(i) If Wachovias control over the Services under a
Statement of Work persists for a period in excess of the recovery period
specified in the applicable Disaster Recovery Plan or, if there is no such
recovery period, three (3) days with respect to any Wachovia or Eligible
Recipient functions identified in such Statement of Work as critical, Wachovia,
at its option, may terminate the applicable Statement of Work, or remove the
affected portion of the Services under such Statement of Work, immediately upon
notice to Genpact without payment of any Stranded Costs or Termination Charges,
unless the Parties are complying with the plan agreed pursuant to Section 10.5(d) or the Parties
otherwise agreed in writing, and Article 26
shall apply to the terminated or removed Services.
(ii) If Wachovias control over the Services under a Statement of Work persists
for one hundred eighty (180) days and Wachovia has not earlier exercised its
rights to terminate such Statement of Work, Wachovia shall be deemed to have
exercised its rights under Section 25.2(a)
on the 180th day and Article 26
shall apply; provided, however, that any such termination under this Section 10.5(e) shall not be
construed as an admission by Genpact of a breach of this Agreement or of the
applicable Statement of Work.
(f) No Charges for Services Performed by Wachovia. If Wachovia exercises its step-in rights
under a Statement of Work providing for such rights, Genpact shall not invoice Wachovia for Services
that are performed by Wachovia, Wachovia Personnel or Wachovia Third Party
Contractors.
(g) No Presumption of
Responsibility. Nothing in this Section 10.5 shall be construed to either limit
Wachovias rights with respect to any default or non-performance by Genpact
under this Agreement or waive Genpacts rights to raise defenses to any
assertion of such claims by Wachovia.
11. WACHOVIA RESPONSIBILITIES
11.1 Responsibilities.
In addition to Wachovias
responsibilities as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Wachovia
shall be responsible for the following:
(a) Wachovia Project Executive. Wachovia shall designate one
(1) individual to whom all Genpact communications concerning this
Agreement may be addressed (the Wachovia Project Executive),
who shall have the authority to act on behalf of Wachovia and the Eligible
Recipients in all day-to-day matters pertaining to this Agreement. Wachovia may change the designated Wachovia
Project Executive from time to time by providing notice to Genpact. Additionally, Wachovia shall have the option,
but will not be obligated, to designate additional

|
39
representatives who will be authorized to make certain decisions (e.g.,
regarding emergency maintenance) if the Wachovia Project Executive is not
available.
(b) Cooperation. Wachovia shall cooperate with Genpact by,
among other things, making available, as reasonably requested by Genpact,
management decisions, information, approvals and acceptances so that Genpact
may accomplish its obligations and responsibilities hereunder.
(c) Requirement of Writing. To the extent Genpact is required
under this Agreement to obtain Wachovias approval, consent or agreement, such
approval, consent or agreement must be in writing and must be signed by or
directly transmitted by electronic mail from the Wachovia Project Executive or
an authorized Wachovia representative.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Wachovia Project Executive
may agree in advance in writing that as to certain specific matters oral
approval, consent or agreement will be sufficient.
11.2 Management of Issues.
(a) Proactive Management. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Genpact shall
proactively manage issues in a manner such that all tasks required to be
performed pursuant to this Agreement or a Statement of Work are performed in a
timely manner. Each member of the
Genpact Personnel is expected to immediately escalate an issue if the
performance of any such Genpact Personnels obligation is directly impacted by
the failure of Wachovia to perform a preceding required task. Genpact will not have met its obligation with
respect to the hindered task unless and until the Wachovia Project Executive
(or other relevant Wachovia team member identified in Schedule K)
has been notified of such failure to perform.
(b) Wachovia Failure. Wachovias failure to perform any of its
stated operational responsibilities or provide any Wachovia resources will not
constitute a breach of this Agreement or the applicable Statement of Work or
give rise to any right to terminate this Agreement or the applicable Statement
of Work. If Wachovia fails to perform
any of its operations tasks set forth in the applicable Statement of Work or
provide any Wachovia resources set forth in the applicable Statement of Work,
Genpact will be excused from the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement or such Statement of Work adversely affected by such failure to the
extent and only for so long as Wachovias failure is the direct cause of
Genpacts non-performance, but only if:
(i) Genpact promptly notifies the Wachovia Project
Executive of Wachovias failure and if, after notifying the Wachovia Project
Executive, Wachovia fails to promptly rectify the failure; and
(ii) there is no reasonable workaround for Wachovias failure that would permit
Genpact to perform such obligations.
12. CHARGES.
12.1 General.
(a) Payment of Charges. In consideration of Genpacts performance of
the Services, Wachovia agrees to pay Genpact the applicable Charges set forth
in this Article 12, Schedule O or the applicable
Statement of Work. Genpact shall
continually seek to identify methods of reducing such Charges, including as
part of its productivity commitment under the Agreement, and will notify
Wachovia of such methods and the estimated potential savings associated with
each such method.
(b) Currency. All Charges will be denominated in United
States dollars.

(c) No Additional Charges. Wachovia shall not pay any Charges for the
Services in addition to those set forth in this Article 12,
or Schedule O, or as may be
expressly provided in a Statement of Work or this Agreement. Any costs incurred by Genpact prior to the
Effective Date are included in the Charges set forth in Schedule O
and are not to be separately paid or reimbursed by Wachovia.
(d) Incidental Expenses. Genpact acknowledges
that, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, expenses that
Genpact incurs in performing the Services (including management, travel and
lodging, document reproduction and shipping, desktop Equipment and other office
Equipment required by Genpact Personnel, and long-distance telephone) are
included in Genpacts charges and rates set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, such Genpact expenses are not
separately reimbursable by Wachovia unless Wachovia has agreed in advance to
reimburse Genpact for the expense.
(e) No Charge for Reperformance. At no additional expense to
Wachovia, Genpact shall reperform (including any required backup or restoration
of data from scheduled backups or, if not available on such backups,
restoration by other means with Wachovias reasonable cooperation) any Services that result in incorrect
outputs to the extent due to an error or breach by Genpact, and the resources
required for such reperformance shall not be counted in calculating the Charges
payable or resources utilized by Wachovia hereunder.
12.2 Pass-Through Expenses.
If any Statement of Work
contemplates Pass-Through Expenses, Genpact shall not (a) mark-up any such
Pass-Through Expenses, or (b) add any management, administrative or other
fees to any Pass-Through Expenses, including in connection with its processing
or review of invoices for Pass-Through Expenses in accordance with such
Statement of Work.
12.3 Taxes.
The Parties respective
responsibilities for taxes arising under or in connection with this Agreement
shall be as follows:
(a) Income Taxes. Each Party shall be responsible for its own
Income Taxes.
(b) Sales, Use and Property Taxes. Each Party shall be responsible
for any sales, lease, use, personal property, value-added, gross receipts,
stamp duty or other such taxes on Equipment, Software or personal property it
owns or leases from a third party. If a
Statement of Work contemplates that Wachovia shall convey to Genpact, and
Genpact shall accept Wachovias conveyance of, Acquired Assets, the Parties
shall specify the responsibility for Transfer Taxes in such Statement of Work.
(c) Recoverable Taxes. All sums payable under or in connection with
this Agreement shall be exclusive of Recoverable Taxes, and each Party shall,
in addition to such sums, pay such Recoverable Taxes properly chargeable
thereon on receipt of a valid invoice.
(d) Taxes on Goods or Services Used by Genpact.
Genpact shall be responsible for all sales, service, value-added, gross
receipts, lease, use, personal property, excise, consumption, and other taxes
and duties (including Recoverable Taxes) payable by Genpact on any goods or
services used or consumed by Genpact in providing the Services (including
services obtained from Subcontractors) where the tax is imposed on Genpacts
acquisition or use of such goods or services and the amount of tax is measured
by Genpacts costs in acquiring such goods or services and not by Wachovias
cost of acquiring such goods or services from Genpact.

(e) Service Taxes.
(i) US Service Taxes. For purposes of this provision, US Service Taxes shall mean Service Taxes assessed by any
Tax Authority in the United States against Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients
on the receipt of the Services as a whole, or on any particular Service
received by Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients from Genpact. Except as set forth in this Section 12.3(e)(i), Wachovia shall
be financially responsible for all US Service Taxes. If
additional US Service Taxes become applicable to the Services as a result of
Genpact moving all or part of its operations to a jurisdiction different from
the jurisdiction in which it operates as of the Effective Date, other than at
Wachovias request (e.g., Genpact relocating performance of Services to a
shared service center or assigning this Agreement to an Affiliate), Genpact
shall be financially responsible for the incremental US Service Taxes.
(ii) Other Service Taxes. Except as set forth otherwise in the applicable
Statement of Work in respect of value-added taxes, Genpact shall be financially
responsible for all Service Taxes assessed by Tax Authorities outside the
United States against either Party on the provision of the Services as a whole,
or on any particular Service received by Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients
from Genpact.
(f) Withholding. The Parties do not intend to enter into an
arrangement that will result in withholding taxes on cross-border payments
being levied by any Tax Authority.
Genpact may refuse to enter into any Statement of Work that would result
in the levy of such withholding taxes. If
Wachovia specifically requests that Genpact enter into a Statement of Work of
Services that would result in the levy of withholding taxes by a Tax Authority,
Genpact will do so only if Wachovia agrees to increase the sum payable to
Genpact so that after Wachovia makes all required deductions Genpact receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made. Wachovia shall provide Genpact
with appropriate documentation or certification of the taxes so withheld to
enable Genpact to obtain a tax credit or deduction. Genpact shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain a credit or deduction for any withholding, and pay over to
Wachovia the amount, after accounting for such credit or deduction, that
Genpact received that exceeds the amount Genpact would have received had there
been no withholding on Wachovias payment to Genpact. All such receipts and other evidence of
withholding shall be forwarded to: Genpact US Holdings, Inc., 1251 Avenue of
the Americas, New York, NY 10020, Attention:
Eileen S. Silvers or such other address as Genpact may from time to time
specify.
(g) Telecommunication Surcharges or User Fees. To the
extent Wachovia is responsible under Schedule O
for telecommunication surcharges or user fees imposed by government authorities
and associated with the Services and the allocation of such fees or surcharges
is within Genpacts or its Subcontractors discretion, Genpact and its
Subcontractors shall act fairly and equitably in allocating such fees and
surcharges to Wachovia, and Wachovia and the Eligible Recipients shall not
receive more than a proportionate share of such fees and surcharges. In addition, in the event any such fee or
surcharge for which Wachovia or an Eligible Recipient is responsible is
subsequently reduced or vacated by the appropriate regulatory authority or
court of competent jurisdiction, Genpact shall take commercially reasonable
steps to seek on behalf of Wachovia a refund of any overpayment of such fee or
surcharge by Wachovia or the Eligible Recipient.
(h) Notice of Additional Taxes and
Charges. Genpact shall promptly notify Wachovia when it becomes aware
of any additional taxes or other charges (including changes to existing taxes
or charges) to be passed through to and/or collected by Wachovia under this Section 12.3. Such notification (which may be separate from
the first invoice reflecting such taxes or other

charges) shall contain a detailed explanation
of such taxes or charges, including the effective date of each additional tax
or charge.
(i) Efforts to Minimize Taxes. Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party to enable the other Party
to more accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such
liability to the extent legally permissible.
Genpacts invoices shall separately state the Charges that are subject
to taxation and the amount of taxes included therein. Each Party will provide and make available to
the other Party any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state or
out-of-country sales or use of equipment, materials, or services, and other
exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by either
Party. Each Party shall, upon the other
Partys request, provide a written confirmation that it has filed all required
tax forms and returns required in connection with any Service Taxes and has
collected and remitted all applicable Service Taxes.
(j) Tax Audits or Proceedings. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of, and coordinate with
the other Party, the response to and settlement of, any claim for taxes
asserted by applicable Tax Authorities for which the other Party is financially
responsible hereunder. With respect to
any claim arising out of a form or return signed by a Party to this Agreement,
such Party will have the right to elect to control the response to and
settlement of the claim, but the other Party will have the right to participate
in the responses and settlements to the extent of its potential responsibility
or liability. Each Party also shall have
the right to challenge the imposition of any tax liability for which it is
financially responsible under this Agreement or, if necessary, to direct the
other Party to challenge the imposition of any such tax liability. If either Party requests the other to
challenge the imposition of any tax liability, such other Party shall do so
(unless and to the extent it assumes financial responsibility for the tax
liability in question), and the requesting Party shall reimburse the other for
all fines, penalties, interest, additions to taxes or similar liabilities
imposed in connection therewith, plus the reasonable legal, accounting and
other professional fees and expenses it incurs.
Each Party shall be entitled to any tax refunds or rebates obtained with
respect to the taxes for which such Party is financially responsible under this
Agreement.
(k) Tax Filings. Each Party represents, warrants and covenants
that it will file appropriate tax returns, and pay applicable taxes owed
arising from or related to the provision of the Services in applicable
jurisdictions. Each Party represents,
warrants and covenants that it is registered to and will collect and remit
Service Taxes in all applicable jurisdictions.
12.4 Extraordinary Events.
(a) Definition. As used in this Agreement, an Extraordinary Event means a circumstance in which an event
or discrete set of events has occurred or is planned with respect to the
business of Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients that results or will result in
a change in the scope, nature or volume of the Services that Wachovia or the
Eligible Recipients will require from Genpact, and which is expected to cause
the estimated average monthly usage of chargeable Resource Units to generally
increase or decrease by twenty-five
percent (25%) or more from the then-existing level of usage.
(b) Consequence. If an Extraordinary Event occurs, Wachovia
may, at its option, request more favorable pricing with respect to applicable
Charges for any Statement of Work in accordance with this Section 12.4(b). Genpact and Wachovia shall mutually determine
on a reasonable basis the efficiencies, economies, savings and resource
utilization reductions or increases, if any, resulting from such Extraordinary
Event and, upon Wachovias approval, Genpact shall then proceed to implement
such efficiencies, economies, savings and resource utilization reductions or
increases as quickly as practicable and in accordance with the agreed upon
schedule. As the efficiencies,
economies, savings or resource utilization reductions are realized, the Charges
specified in the applicable Statement of Work and any affected Resource
Baselines shall be

promptly and equitably adjusted to pass through to Wachovia or compensate
Genpact for such efficiencies.
(c) Termination. If an
Extraordinary Event results in Charges to Wachovia higher than such Charges
would have been if the ARCs or RRCs specified in the applicable Statement(s) of
Work for usage twenty-five percent (25%) or less had been applied, then
Wachovia may terminate the affected Statement(s) of Work by giving Genpact
notice of such termination.
(i) If Wachovia terminates the affected
Statement(s) of Work because the Extraordinary Event results in Charges to
Wachovia higher than such Charges would have been if the ARCs specified in the
applicable Statement(s) of Work for usage twenty-five percent (25%) or less had
been applied, Wachovia shall pay Genpact its Stranded Costs, in accordance with the Stranded Cost calculation
methodology set forth in Schedule I
and subject to the cap(s) set forth in such Statement(s) of Work, but Genpact
shall not be entitled to any Termination Charge in respect of such
termination(s).
(ii) If Wachovia terminates the affected Statement(s) of Work because the
Extraordinary Event results in Charges to Wachovia higher than such Charges
would have been if the RRCs specified in the applicable Statement(s) of Work
for usage twenty-five percent (25%) or less had been applied, Wachovia shall
pay Genpact its Stranded Costs, in
accordance with the Stranded Cost calculation methodology set forth in Schedule I and subject to the
cap(s) set forth in such Statement(s) of Work, plus a Termination Charge equal
to [[[***]]].
(iii) In either event, any such termination under this Section 12.4(c) shall not be
deemed a termination for convenience by Wachovia subject to Section 25.3.
12.5 Unanticipated Changes.
If an Unanticipated Change
occurs, and if Wachovia requests that the Services be modified to incorporate
such Unanticipated Change, the Parties shall use the procedures in Section 12.4(b) to equitably
adjust the Charges and other relevant provisions of this Agreement to take such
Unanticipated Change into account. An Unanticipated Change shall consist of a material change in
the technologies and/or business processes available to provide all or part of
the Services that is unforeseen as of the applicable SOW Commencement Date, is
outside the normal evolution of technology experienced by providers of in-scope
business process outsourcing services, was not available as of the applicable
SOW Commencement Date, and would materially reduce Genpacts cost of providing
the Services.
12.6 Proration.
Any periodic charges under
this Agreement shall be computed on a calendar month basis, and such monthly
charges shall be prorated for any partial month on a calendar day basis.
12.7 Refundable Items.
(a) Prepaid Amounts. Where Wachovia and/or the Eligible Recipients
have prepaid for a service or function for which Genpact is assuming financial
responsibility under a Statement of Work, Genpact shall promptly refund to
Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients, upon either Party identifying the
prepayment, that portion of such prepaid expense which is attributable to
periods on and after the applicable SOW Commencement Date.
(b) Refunds and Credits. If Genpact should receive a refund, credit,
discount or other rebate for goods or services paid for by Wachovia and/or the
Eligible Recipients on a Pass-Through Expense,

a retained expense, a
cost-plus or cost-reimbursement basis, then Genpact shall (i) notify
Wachovia of such refund, credit, discount or rebate and (ii) promptly pay
or credit the full amount of such refund, credit, discount or rebate to
Wachovia or such Eligible Recipient.
12.8 Wachovia Benchmarking Reviews.
(a) Benchmarking Review. At any time after the first anniversary of a
SOW Commencement Date and no more frequently than once each Contract Year
thereafter, Wachovia may, subject to this Section 12.8,
engage the services of an independent third party (a Benchmarker)
to compare the Charges, performance against Service Levels, level of turnover
and customer satisfaction in respect of all or any portion of the Services
under such Statement of Work against the charges by other well-managed business
process outsourcing service providers performing similar services (and, at
Wachovias option, the fully-loaded cost of captive operations performing
similar services) to ensure that the pricing, performance against Service
Levels, turnover levels and customer satisfaction under such Statement of Work
is competitive with market pricing, performance, turnover and customer
satisfaction, given the nature, quality, volume, type and Service Levels of the
Services provided by Genpact under such Statement of Work (Benchmarking). At
Wachovias discretion, a benchmarking may be conducted with respect to
(i) all of the Services under such Statement of Work in the aggregate;
(ii) all of such Services provided from any country(ies) in which a
Genpact Facility then providing Services to Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients
is located provided that in such case the benchmarking shall be done only in
relation to service providers or captive operators in such country(ies); or
(iii) any Service under a Statement of Work. In making this comparison, the Benchmarker
shall consider the following factors and other similar variables and adjust the
prices as and to the extent appropriate:
(i) whether and to what extent supplier transition charges are paid
by the customer as incurred or amortized over the term of the agreement;
(ii) the extent to which supplier pricing includes the purchase of the
customers existing assets; (iii) the extent to which supplier pricing
includes the cost of acquiring future assets; (iv) allocation of the
Management Fee as necessary for comparison purposes; (v) the extent to
which this Agreement calls for Genpact to provide and comply with unique
Wachovia requirements; (vi) whether Service Taxes are included in such
pricing or stated separately in supplier invoices; (vii) extent of
financial engineering required under the Agreement; (viii) the countries
in which the Services are required, and (ix) if captive operations
performing similar services are used in the comparison, the profit margin of
such captive operations. The Benchmarker
shall identify any additional services provided by Genpact that are not
specifically set forth in the Statement of Work and are not paid for by
Wachovia (such as extra hours, extra services, management information systems
services, training support and documentation support).
(b) General. Wachovia shall retain, at Wachovias cost and
expense, a Benchmarker for each Benchmarking from among those set forth in Schedule P or another mutually
agreed company. The Benchmarker shall
execute a non-disclosure agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 1. Genpact shall cooperate fully with Wachovia
and the Benchmarker and will (i) provide the Benchmarker reasonable access
to any premises, equipment, personnel or documents, and (ii) provide any
assistance required by the Benchmarker to conduct the Benchmarking, all at
Genpacts cost and expense. The
Benchmarking shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably disrupt Genpacts
operations under this Agreement.
(c) Result of Benchmarking.
(i) The Benchmarker shall determine the median cost
for the Services or any service element under a Statement of Work based upon
the prices charged by other well-managed information technology service
providers or the cost of captive operations performing work of a similar
nature, type, quality (as measured by the Service Levels) and volume as

45
the Services excluding in the calculation of the median the lowest and the
highest price or cost comparison identified in the Benchmarking (the Benchmark Standard).
(ii) If the Charges paid by Wachovia for such Services or any service element
under a Statement of Work are more than [[[***]]] higher than the Benchmark
Standard, then, within [[[***]]] following the end of the review period set
forth in Section 12.8(d)
Genpact shall decrease the Charges under such Statement of Work so that the
decreased Charges are less than [[[***]]] higher than the Benchmark Standard
and, at Wachovias request, the Parties shall negotiate an action plan to
reduce the Charges further to the Benchmark Standard. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an
action plan, Wachovia may, at its option, terminate the Services in whole or in
part pursuant to Section 25.3. If the Services are terminated in part,
Genpacts Charges shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the Services no longer
performed by Genpact.
(iii) If the Charges paid by Wachovia for such Services or any service element
under a Statement of Work are less than the Benchmark Standard, then Genpact
may review the results with Wachovia and request an increase to the Charges to
equal the Benchmark Standard. Wachovia
may choose to approve or disapprove such an increase at its discretion.
(d) Genpact Review and Dispute. Wachovia shall provide Genpact
with a copy of the Benchmarkers report and Genpact shall have forty-five (45) days to review such
report and contest the Benchmarkers findings.
If the Parties are unable to agree upon the validity of such findings,
the matter shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set
forth in Article 24.
(e) Benchmarking Data. All Benchmarking data shall be deemed
confidential information and shall be solely for the use of Genpact and
Wachovia.
12.9 Gainsharing.
The Parties anticipate that
there will be opportunities for significant cost improvement and other
financial benefits through process redesign and improvement of business
processes outsourced to Genpact under this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties will implement the
following process for mutually agreed gain sharing opportunities in connection
with the in-scope business processes:
(a) Direct Benefits. Pursuant to the Change Control Procedures,
Genpact may from time to time propose for Wachovias consideration changes to
the processes under an existing Statement of Work that are in production that
Genpact believes would result in reduction in the cost of performing the
Services under such Statement of Work for the remainder of the applicable SOW
Term (Direct Benefits).
(i) Each such proposal
shall include an estimate of the
process improvement costs associated with any process improvement.
(ii) As part of the approval process, the Parties shall agree upon how Direct
Benefits shall be calculated.
(iii) If, pursuant and subject to the Change Control Procedures, Wachovia
approves any change in process proposed by Genpact, Genpact will make any
investments required for the process improvements and Wachovia will make any
related investments in respect of the Retained Systems and Business Processes
as required to facilitate such process improvement.

(iv) The Parties shall account for the Direct Benefits resulting from such
approved process change as agreed pursuant to the Change Control Procedures. Actual Direct Benefits shall be first be
applied to reimburse Wachovia for the cost of its related investments, then to
reimburse Genpact for the cost of its investments.
(v) After Wachovia and Genpact have each recouped such investments, the Parties
shall each receive [[[***]]] of the actual Direct Benefits from approved
process changes.
(b) Indirect Benefits. Pursuant to the Change Control Procedures and
this Section 12.9(b), in addition
to Direct Benefits from any process improvement, Genpact may propose for
Wachovias consideration the sharing of other financial benefits to Wachovia
other than Direct Benefits resulting from process improvements proposed
pursuant to this Section 12.9. Sharing of any indirect financial benefits
shall require approval of each of (i) the CFO of the affected Wachovia
business line, (ii) the Wachovia Outsourcing Governance Director and
(iii) the Executive Committee. Any
agreement to share indirect financial benefits must include how such indirect
financial benefits shall be calculated and a cap of the indirect financial
benefits to be shared.
13. INVOICING AND PAYMENT
13.1 Invoicing.
(a) Invoice. Within five (5) days after the beginning
of each month, Genpact shall present Wachovia with preliminary billing details
for any Charges due and owing for the preceding month, pursuant to all existing
Statements of Work. Wachovia shall
review such preliminary billing details and shall either accept or reject such
billing details within twelve (12) days after receipt. If Wachovia accepts such billing details,
Genpact shall issue an invoice for the Charges due and owing for the preceding
month consistent with the preliminary billing details. At Wachovias request, Genpact shall provide
separate monthly invoices for each Eligible Recipient then receiving Services,
with the Charges allocated among such Eligible Recipients based on the
chargeback data generated by Genpact and/or the allocation formula provided by
Wachovia. The invoice shall be delivered
to Wachovia, at its request, at the address listed in Section 27.3
and/or electronically. Unless otherwise
required under a Statement of Work, Genpact shall not invoice Wachovia for any
advance or concurrent charges or other amounts.
(b) Form and Data. Each invoice shall (i) comply with all
applicable legal, regulatory and accounting requirements, (ii) allow
Wachovia to validate volumes and fees, (iii) comply with Wachovias and
the Eligible Recipients accounting, management reporting and billing
requirement, and (iv) permit Wachovia to allocate the Charges among the
Eligible Recipients based on chargeback data generated by Genpact and/or
allocation formulae provided by Wachovia.
Each invoice shall include the pricing calculations and related data
utilized to establish the Charges and sufficient information to validate the
service volumes and associated Charges.
The data underlying each invoice shall be delivered to Wachovia electronically
(if requested by Wachovia) in a form and format compatible with Wachovias
accounting systems.
(c) Credits. To the extent a credit may be due to Wachovia
pursuant to this Agreement, Genpact shall provide Wachovia with an appropriate
credit against amounts then due and owing; if no further payments are due to
Genpact, Genpact shall pay such amounts to Wachovia within thirty
(30) days after the date the credit has accrued.
(d) Time Limitation. If Genpact fails to provide an invoice to
Wachovia for any amount within ninety (90) days after the end of month in which
the Services in question are rendered or the expense incurred, Genpact shall
waive any right it may otherwise have to invoice for and collect such amount.

13.2 Payment Due Date. Subject to the other provisions of this Article 13,
each invoice provided for under Section 13.1 shall be due and payable within
forty-five (45) days after receipt by Wachovia of such invoice unless the
amount in question is disputed in accordance with Section 13.3. Any undisputed amount due under this
Agreement for which a time for payment is not otherwise specified also shall be
due and payable within forty-five (45) days.
13.3 Disputed Charges.
Wachovia may withhold payment
of particular Charges that Wachovia reasonably disputes in good faith subject
to the following:
(a) Notice of Dispute. If Genpacts invoice includes sufficient
detail and supporting documentation to enable Wachovia to reasonably determine
whether Genpacts Charges are in accordance with this Agreement, Wachovia shall
notify Genpact as soon as possible (but in any event on or before the payment
due date of such invoice) if it disputes any of the Charges in such invoice.
(b) Notice of Insufficient Detail, Documentation and Dispute. If
Genpacts invoice does not include sufficient detail and supporting
documentation to enable Wachovia to reasonably determine whether Genpacts
Charges are in accordance with this Agreement, Wachovia shall so notify Genpact
as soon as possible (but in any event on or before the payment due date). Genpact shall promptly provide such
reasonable detail and supporting documentation, and Wachovia shall notify
Genpact within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof by the Wachovia
Project Executive whether it disputes any of the Charges in Genpacts invoice.
(c) Continued Performance. Each Party agrees to continue performing its
obligations under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved unless and
until such obligations are terminated by the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
(d) No Waiver. Neither the failure to dispute any Charges or
amounts prior to payment nor the failure to withhold any amount shall
constitute, operate or be construed as a waiver of any right Wachovia may
otherwise have to dispute any Charge or amount or recover any amount previously
paid.
14. AUDIT RIGHTS
14.1 Contract Records.
Genpact shall, and shall cause
its Subcontractors to, maintain complete and accurate records of and supporting
documentation for all Charges, all Wachovia Data and all transactions,
authorizations, changes, implementations, soft document accesses, system access
and log reports, filings, reports, returns, analyses, procedures, controls,
records, data or information created, generated, collected, processed or stored
by Genpact in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (the Contract Records).
Genpact shall maintain such Contract Records in accordance with
applicable Laws. Genpact shall retain Contract Records in accordance with
Wachovias record retention policy (as such policy may be reasonably modified
from time to time and provided to Genpact in writing) during the Term and any
Termination Assistance Period and thereafter through the end of the second full
calendar year after the calendar year in which Genpact stopped performing the
applicable Services (including any Termination Assistance Services) (the Audit Period).
Unless such changes are required by applicable Law, the Parties shall
address any incremental costs incurred by Genpact complying with changes in
Wachovias record retention policy after the applicable SOW Commencement Date

Genpact shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors and suppliers to, provide to Wachovia (and internal and external auditors (provided
that Wachovia shall not appoint any Genpact Competitor as an auditor)),
inspectors, regulators and other representatives that Wachovia may designate
from time to time, including customers, vendors, licensees and other third
parties to the extent Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients are legally or
contractually obligated to submit to audits by such entities in each case (each
a Wachovia Auditor)) access to Genpact
Personnel, to the facilities at or from which Services are then being provided
and to Contract Records and other pertinent information, all to the extent
relevant to the Services and Genpacts obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, that in no event shall Wachovia or any Wachovia Auditor be

integrity of Wachovia Data, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(b) examine the systems that process, store, support and transmit that
data; (c) examine the internal controls (e.g., financial and accounting

reasonably requested by Wachovia or its designee in conducting any such audit,
including installing and operating audit software, (b) make requested
personnel (to the extent still employed by Genpact or its Affiliates or
Subcontractors), records and information reasonably available to Wachovia or
its designee, and (c) in all cases, provide such assistance, personnel,
records and information in an expeditious manner to facilitate the timely
completion of such audit. If an audit
reveals a material breach of this Agreement and Genpact does not successfully
dispute such finding in accordance with Article 24,
then any amount of damages recoverable as a result of such breach shall include
the actual cost of such audit (including fees charged by any Wachovia Auditor).
14.3 Financial Audits.
During the Audit Period and
subject to Section 14.5,
Genpact shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors to, provide to Wachovia (and
a Wachovia Auditor) access to Genpact Personnel and to Contract Records and
other pertinent information to conduct financial audits, all to the extent
relevant to the performance of Genpacts obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, that in no event shall Wachovia or any Wachovia Auditor be
provided with access to, or permitted to review, any data or information of any

cost-plus Charges) and/or are necessary to calculate the applicable Charges),
and (f) enable Wachovia and the Eligible Recipients to meet the
requirements under applicable Law, in each case to the extent applicable to the
Services and/or the Charges for such Services.
Genpact shall (a) provide any assistance reasonably requested by
Wachovia or a Wachovia Auditor in conducting any such audit, (b) make
requested personnel (to the extent still employed by Genpact or its Affiliates
or Subcontractors), records and information available to Wachovia or a

Wachovia Auditor, and
(c) in all cases, provide such assistance, personnel, records and
information in an expeditious manner to facilitate the timely completion of
such audit. If any such audit reveals an
overcharge by Genpact, and Genpact does not successfully dispute the amount
questioned by such audit in accordance with Article 24, Genpact shall promptly pay to Wachovia
the amount of such overcharge. In
addition, if any such audit reveals an overcharge of more than one percent (1%)
of the audited Charges, Genpact shall promptly reimburse Wachovia for the
actual cost of such audit (including fees charged by any Wachovia Auditor).
14.4 Audit Assistance.
Wachovia and certain Eligible
Recipients may be subject to regulation and audit by governmental bodies,
standards organizations, other regulatory authorities, customers or other
parties to contracts with Wachovia or an Eligible Recipient under applicable
Laws, standards and contract provisions.
If a governmental body, standards organization, regulatory authority or
customer or other third party to a contract with Wachovia or an Eligible
Recipient exercises its right to examine or audit Wachovias or an Eligible
Recipients books, records, documents or accounting practices and procedures
pursuant to such Laws, standards or contract provisions, Genpact shall provide
all assistance requested by Wachovia or the Eligible Recipient in responding to
such audits or requests for information and shall do so in an expeditious

this Article 14 and
(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and extend to
Wachovia, audit rights equivalent to those specified in this Article 14 from all
Non-affiliate Subcontractors.
(b) Wachovia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the
frequency of audits under this Article 14
and to provide reasonable notice of the exercise of its audit rights hereunder,
but Genpact acknowledges and agrees that audits by Wachovias inspectors or
regulators or security audits cannot be limited or any notice period
prescribed. Similarly, Wachovia shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct audits (other than audits by
Wachovias inspectors or regulators or security audits) under this Article 14 during normal business
hours.
(c) Wachovia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Wachovia
Auditor (other than Wachovia internal auditors or Wachovias inspectors or
regulators) to execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit 1
prior to the commencement of an audit under this Article 14.
(d) Except as set forth in Section 14.2 or 14.3,
Wachovia shall be responsible for the fees and expenses charged by a Wachovia
Auditor.
(e) Notwithstanding the intended breadth of Wachovias audit rights, Wachovia
shall not be given access to (i) the proprietary information of other
Genpact customers, (ii) Genpact locations that are not related to Wachovia,
Eligible Recipients or the Services or (iii) Genpacts internal costs,
except to the extent such costs are the basis upon which Wachovia is charged
(e.g., reimbursable expenses, Out-of-Pocket Expenses, Pass-Through Expenses or
cost-plus Charges) and/or are necessary to calculate the applicable Charges.
(f) In performing audits, Wachovia shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary disruption of Genpacts
operations and unnecessary interference with Genpacts ability to perform the
Services in accordance with the Service Levels.
In the event (i) any audit performed by Wachovia or a Wachovia
Auditor pursuant to Section 14.2 or 14.3
or (ii) Genpacts compliance with its obligations set forth in Section 14.2 or 14.3,
in either case, adversely affects Genpacts

relieve Genpact from such obligations, including liability for any Service
Level Credits or Deliverable Credits that Genpact may incur.
(g) Wachovia shall be given reasonable private workspace in which to perform an
audit, plus access to photocopiers, telephone, facsimile machines, computer

internal and external auditors) of any of its operations relating to the
Services reveals any material deficiencies, Genpact shall promptly notify
Wachovia of such findings.
(b) Overcharges. If
Genpact determines as a result of a review or audit conducted by Genpact or its
Affiliates (including internal and external auditors) of its operations
relating to the Services that it has overcharged Wachovia, then Genpact shall
promptly pay or credit to Wachovia the amount of such overcharge, net of any
undercharges.
14.7 Genpact Response.
Following the completion of an
audit conducted pursuant to this Article 14
or the issuance of an interim or final report to Genpact and Wachovia following
any such audit, Wachovia shall conduct (in the case of an internal audit), or
request its external auditors or examiners to conduct, an exit conference with
Genpact to obtain factual concurrence with issues identified in the review. Genpact shall respond to each exit interview
and/or audit report in writing within thirty (30) days, unless a shorter
response time is specified in such report.
Genpact and Wachovia shall develop and agree upon an action plan to
promptly address and resolve any deficiencies, concerns and/or recommendations
identified in such exit interview or audit report and Genpact, at its own
expense, shall undertake remedial action in accordance with such action plan
and the dates specified therein to the extent necessary to comply with Genpacts
obligations under this Agreement.
14.8 Genpact Response to External Audits.
If an audit by a governmental
body, standards organization or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
Wachovia, an Eligible Recipient or Genpact results in a finding that Genpact is
not in compliance with any applicable Law or standard, including any generally
accepted accounting principle or other audit requirement relating to the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, then Genpact shall, at its
own expense and within the time period specified by such auditor, address and
resolve the deficiency(ies) identified by such governmental body, standards
organization or regulatory authority, in a manner approved by Wachovia.
14.9 SAS 70 Type II Audit.
(a) In addition to its other obligations under this Article 14,
Genpact shall cause a Type II Statement of Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 audit (or equivalent audit) to be conducted at
least annually for each business process which is subject to one or more
Statement(s) of Work and related internal controls for each Genpact Facility at
or from which the Services are provided to Wachovia or the Eligible
Recipients. Genpact shall consider
issues and concerns raised by Wachovia in the

timing of each such audit and accommodate Wachovias requirements and concerns
to the extent practicable. Genpact shall
provide Wachovia with a report from each SAS 70 audit to facilitate periodic compliance
reporting by Wachovia and the Eligible Recipients under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 (and implementing regulations promulgated by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board) and comparable Laws in other jurisdictions. To the extent the resulting audit report is
relevant to Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients, Genpact shall provide a copy
of such report to Wachovia and its independent auditors for review and comment
as soon as reasonably practicable and in all events within forty-five
(45) days after the issuance of the report. Genpact shall respond to such report in
accordance with this Section 14.9(a).
(b) If Genpact undertakes additional or different Type II SAS 70 audits (or
equivalent audits) of Genpact Facilities at, from or through which Services are
provided to Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients (other than customer-specific
audits requested and paid for by other Genpact customers), Genpact shall accord
Wachovia the rights described in Section 14.9(a)
with respect to such audits.
(c) To the extent Wachovia provides reasonable notice and requests that, in
addition to the Type II SAS 70 audit described in this Section 14.9(a) or (b), Genpact conduct a
Wachovia-specific Type II SAS 70 audit, Genpact shall do so at Wachovias
expense (provided, Genpact notifies Wachovia of such expense, obtains Wachovias
approval, and uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such expense).
14.10 Audit Costs.
Except as otherwise noted,
Genpact and its Subcontractors shall comply with its obligations described in
this Article 14 at no additional
charge to Wachovia.
15. WACHOVIA DATA AND OTHER
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
15.1 Wachovia Ownership of Wachovia Data.
Wachovia Data is and shall
remain the property of Wachovia (and/or the applicable Eligible
Recipients). Genpact shall promptly
deliver Wachovia Data (or the portion of such Wachovia Data specified by
Wachovia) to Wachovia in the format, on the media and in the timing reasonably
prescribed by Wachovia (a) at any time upon Wachovias request,
(b) at the end of the Term and at the completion of all requested
Termination Assistance Services (except Contract Records, which shall be
retained by Genpact for the Audit Period specified in Section 14.1
unless and to the extent Genpact is directed by Wachovia to deliver such
Contract Records to Wachovia prior to the expiration of such Audit Period),
(c) with respect to particular Wachovia Data, at such earlier date that
such data are no longer required by Genpact to perform the Services, or
(d) if such Wachovia Data is Wachovia Personal Data, at the time such
Wachovia Personal Data is required to be returned to Wachovia and/or an
Eligible Recipient to satisfy its or their obligations under Privacy Laws. Genpact shall not withhold any Wachovia Data
as a means of resolving any dispute.
After any return of Wachovia Data pursuant to the second sentence of
this Section 15.1, if
requested by Wachovia, Genpact shall return or destroy, as directed by
Wachovia, all copies of the Wachovia Data in Genpacts possession or under
Genpacts control as soon as possible, but in any event within ten
(10) business days, and deliver to Wachovia written certification of such
return or destruction signed by an authorized representative of Genpact;
provided, however, that Genpact may retain one copy of the Wachovia Data (other
than Wachovia Personal Data) for the sole purpose of defending itself or its
Affiliates in any legal proceedings that may be brought against Genpact or its
Affiliates and that in respect of Wachovia Personal Data Wachovia shall give
Genpact access to Wachovia Personal Data after such return or destruction for
the sole purpose of defending Genpact or its Affiliates in any such legal

proceedings. Wachovia Data shall not be utilized by
Genpact for any purpose other than the performance of Services under this
Agreement or as set forth in the in the immediately preceding sentence, and
Genpact shall at all times comply with the Wachovia Privacy Policy, as modified
by Wachovia and provided to Genpact from time to time. Except as required under a Statement of Work
or this Agreement, Wachovia Data shall not be sold, assigned, leased,
encumbered, commercially exploited or otherwise provided to third parties by or
on behalf of Genpact or any Genpact Personnel.
15.2 Safeguarding Wachovia Data.
(a) Safeguarding Procedures. Genpact shall, subject to Wachovias
approval, establish and maintain environmental, safety and facility procedures,
data security procedures and other safeguards against the destruction, loss,
unauthorized access or alteration of Wachovia Data in the possession of Genpact
which are no less rigorous than (i)(A) those maintained by Wachovia as of
the applicable SOW Commencement Date (or implemented thereafter by Wachovia to
the extent deemed necessary by Wachovia), (B) those maintained by Genpact
for its own information of a similar nature and (C) accepted security
standards in the industry, and (ii) adequate to meet the requirements of
the Wachovia Standards and applicable Laws.
Subject to Section 19.5,
the Parties shall address any incremental costs incurred by Genpact complying
with such procedures or safeguards implemented by Wachovia after the applicable
SOW Commencement Date in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. Genpact shall create backup copies of
Wachovia Data in its possession and shall store such backup copies in a secure
location, as further described in Section 10.1(b)
and the applicable Statement of Work.
Wachovia shall have the right to establish backup security for Wachovia
Data and to keep backup copies of the Wachovia Data in Wachovia possession at
Wachovia expense if Wachovia so chooses. Genpact shall provide Wachovia with
downloads of Wachovia Data, as requested by Wachovia, to enable Wachovia to
maintain such backup security or backup copies of Wachovia Data. Genpact shall remove all Wachovia Data from
any media taken out of service and shall destroy or securely erase such media
in accordance with the applicable Policy and Procedures Manual. No media on which Wachovia Data is stored may
be used or re-used to store data of any other customer of Genpact or to deliver
data to a third party, including another Genpact customer, unless securely
erased in accordance with the applicable Policy and Procedures Manual.
(b) Response to Security Breach. In
the event Genpact discovers or is notified of a breach or potential breach of
security relating to Wachovia Data, Genpact shall expeditiously (i) notify
Wachovia of such breach or potential breach, (ii) investigate such breach
or potential breach and perform a risk assessment, Root Cause Analysis and
corrective action plan thereon, (iii) provide a written report to Wachovia
of such risk assessment, Root Cause Analysis and action plan, (iv) remedy the
effects of such breach or potential breach of security, and (v) provide
Wachovia with such assurances as Wachovia shall request that such breach or
potential breach will not recur. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as
a limitation on Wachovias right to use Wachovia Data for its own purposes.
(c) Reconstruction Procedures. As part of the Services, Genpact
shall be responsible for developing and maintaining procedures for the
reconstruction of lost Wachovia Data which are no less rigorous than those
maintained by (i) Wachovia as of the applicable SOW Commencement Date (or
implemented thereafter by Wachovia to the extent reasonably deemed necessary by
Wachovia), and (ii) Genpact for its own information of a similar nature. These procedures shall be included in the
applicable Policy and Procedures Manual.
Subject to Section 19.5,
the Parties shall address any incremental costs incurred by Genpact complying
with such procedures implemented by Wachovia after the applicable SOW
Commencement Date in accordance with the Change Control Procedures.

(d) Corrections. The correction of any errors or inaccuracies
in or with respect to Wachovia Data shall be performed by the Party that caused
such errors or inaccuracies at such Partys cost, except that Genpact shall
correct any Wachovia Personal Data in its possession or control if required by
Wachovia to do so in order for Wachovia or an Eligible Recipient to satisfy its
or their obligations under Privacy Laws.
Genpact may request reimbursement from Wachovia for additional resources
Genpact is required to expend to correct material, excessive or systemic errors
caused by Wachovias failure to submit data in accordance with the applicable
Policy and Procedures Manual.
(e) Re-running of Corrected Data. If
the correction of errors or inaccuracies as described above necessitates the
re-running of corrected Wachovia Data and thereby results in the usage of
additional Resource Units, Wachovia shall pay the applicable Resource Unit
charge as set forth in the applicable Statement of Work, unless the underlying
errors or inaccuracies are attributable to the failure of Genpact or Genpact
Personnel to comply with Genpacts obligations under this Agreement (including
the failure of Genpact or Genpact Personnel to adhere to applicable processes
and controls that, if adhered to, would have enabled Genpact or Genpact
Personnel to identify and timely correct such errors or inaccuracies, even if
caused by Wachovia), in which case Genpact shall be financially responsible for
any additional Resource Units usage resulting from the re-running of corrected
data.
(f) Restoration of Data. The re-loading of any destroyed, lost or
altered Wachovia Data shall be performed by the Party that has operational
responsibility for maintaining the System on which such Wachovia Data resides
and for creating and maintaining backup copies of such Wachovia Data. To the extent (i) Genpact is
operationally responsible under the applicable Statement of Work for performing
such restoration or (ii) such destruction, loss or alteration is
attributable to the failure of Genpact or Genpact Personnel to comply with
Genpacts obligations under this Agreement, Genpact shall be responsible for
re-loading such data and/or otherwise re-performing the necessary Services
without additional Charges.
(g) Electronic Incident Reporting. For purposes hereof, Electronic Incident shall mean any
unauthorized action by a known or unknown person which, if successfully
completed, should reasonably be considered one of the following: an attack, penetration, denial of service,
unauthorized electronic disclosure of Wachovias Proprietary Information,
misuse of system access, unauthorized access or intrusion (hacking), virus
intrusion, scan of Wachovias or Genpacts systems or networks, or any other
activity that could adversely affect Wachovias Proprietary Information. For purposes hereof, Genpacts systems or networks shall
include the systems, networks, technology, content or web sites of third party
vendors used by Genpact to provide the Services hereunder. Genpact shall report to Wachovia all known or
suspected Electronic Incidents. If an
Electronic Incident occurs, Genpact shall immediately notify Wachovias
Incident Management Center at (866) 922-4911 Option 2, and provide the
following information: nature and impact
of the Electronic Incident; actions already taken by Genpact; Genpacts
assessment of immediate risk; and corrective measures to be taken, evaluation
of alternatives, and next steps. Genpact
shall continue providing appropriate status reports to Wachovia regarding the
resolution of the Electronic Incident and prevention of future such Electronic
Incidents. Wachovia may require that
Genpacts accessing, processing, or storing of Wachovias Proprietary
Information be suspended, connectivity with Genpact be terminated, or other
appropriate action be taken pending such resolution. Should Genpact fail to report, or take
reasonable measures to resolve, an Electronic Incident, Wachovia may terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 25.1(a)(i)(D).
(h) Information Security Review. Genpact shall, with respect to all
systems, applications, networks, or sites, used by Genpact in accessing,
processing, or storing Wachovia Proprietary Information, comply with Wachovias
then-current Corporate Information Standards as set forth in Schedule F.

Wachovia shall disclose modifications to its Corporate Information
Standards to Genpact. Genpact shall,
within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, comply with any change in
Wachovias Corporate Information
Standards. Unless such change is
required by applicable Law, the Parties shall address any incremental costs
incurred by Genpact complying with any change in Wachovias Corporate
Information Standards implemented by Wachovia after the applicable SOW
Commencement Date in accordance with the Change Control Procedures. Wachovia may perform information security
reviews on any systems, applications, networks, or sites, used by Genpact in
accessing, processing, or storing Wachovia Proprietary Information (Reviews). The
Reviews shall include, but not be limited to, physical inspection, external
scan, internal scan, code review, process reviews, and reviews of system
configurations. The Reviews shall be
conducted in Wachovias discretion, by Wachovia or its designee (who will be a
nationally known security firm and shall not be a Genpact Competitor), and at
Wachovias expense. Genpact hereby
grants permission to Wachovia or its designee to perform the Reviews. Should any Review result in the discovery of
material security risks to the systems, applications, networks, or sites, used
by Genpact in accessing, processing, or storing Wachovia Proprietary
Information, Wachovia shall immediately notify Genpact of such risks, and
Genpact shall respond to Wachovia in writing within five (5) days with Genpacts
plan to take reasonable measures to promptly correct, repair, or modify the
applicable system, application, network, or site to effectively eliminate the
risk. Should Genpact fail to take
reasonable measures to remedy the identified risk, Wachovia may terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 25.1(a)(i)(E).
(i) Advice on Better Procedures. Genpact shall regularly advise
Wachovia of data security practices, procedures and safeguards of which Genpact
is aware, if such practices, procedures and safeguards are of a higher standard
than those contemplated under this Agreement.
15.3 Wachovia Personal Data.
(a) Compliance with Privacy Laws. Genpact shall comply with the
provisions of and the obligations imposed on Genpact and applicable to its
performance of the Services under applicable Privacy Laws, including the
implementing legislation and regulations of European Union member states under
EU Directives 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC. Genpact also shall comply with the data
privacy policies of Wachovia as well as the global data privacy policies of any
self-regulatory organizations to which Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients
belong in accordance with Article 19 and as set forth in the Policy and
Procedures Manual, and which are applicable to Genpact in its role as a data
processor and third party service provider to Wachovia and the Eligible
Recipients in relation to Wachovia Personal Data.
(b) Return of Personal Data. All Wachovia Personal Data
provided to Genpact shall be returned or destroyed (at the option of
Wachovia) by Genpact on request as and to the extent provided in Section 15.1, unless and to
the extent such Wachovia Personal Data is required by Genpact to discharge its
obligations hereunder or under applicable Privacy Laws. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this Section 15.3(b) shall entitle Genpact to retain any Wachovia
Personal Data if such retention would cause Wachovia and/or an Eligible
Recipient to violate applicable Privacy Laws.
(c) Genpact Responsible for Third Parties. Genpact shall be responsible for
the acts and omissions of any Subcontractor that processes (within the meaning
of the applicable Privacy Laws) Wachovia Personal Data on Genpacts behalf
in the same manner and to the same extent as it is responsible for its own acts
and omissions with respect to such Wachovia Personal Data. Genpact
shall not be responsible for the acts and omissions of any Managed Third Party
that processes (within the meaning of the applicable Privacy
Laws) Wachovia Personal Data except to the extent such acts or omissions
are a direct result of Genpacts failure to comply with its obligation under a
Statement of Work to manage such Managed Third Party.

(d) Data Controller. The Parties acknowledge and agree that unless
applicable Privacy Laws require otherwise each Eligible Recipient located in
the European Economic Area is
the data controller of all Wachovia Personal Data processed by Genpact for such
Eligible Recipient in providing the Services.
Unless applicable Privacy Laws require otherwise, Genpact shall merely
act in relation to such Wachovia Personal Data as the data processor on behalf
of such data controller and shall act only in accordance with the reasonable
instructions of the relevant Eligible Recipient in relation to such Wachovia
Personal Data. Such reasonable
instructions shall be consistent with the Services and shall not expand the
scope of such Services.
(e) Wachovia Personal Data Security. Without limiting Genpacts
obligations under Section 15.1
or 15.2 or otherwise with respect to
data security, Genpact shall:
(i) take commercially reasonable steps to limit
access to the Wachovia Personal Data to those Genpact Personnel who have a need
to know such Wachovia Personal Data; and
(ii) provide Wachovia or the relevant Eligible Recipient with such information,
assistance and cooperation (insofar as it relates to its processing activities)
as Wachovia or such Eligible Recipient may reasonably require from time to time
to establish Genpacts compliance with the obligations relating to security
contained in the Privacy Laws, subject to Article 19
and as set forth in the Policy and Procedures Manual.
Genpact shall satisfy its
obligations under this Section 15.3(e)
as and to the extent described in Section 15.3(a).
(f) Transfers of Wachovia Personal
Data outside the European Economic Area.
(i) In the event that Genpact processes Wachovia Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA),
Genpact shall enter into an agreement with Wachovia and/or the Eligible
Recipient obligating both Parties to adhere to the requirements imposed by the
standard contractual clauses for the transfer of Wachovia Personal
Data to processors established in third countries issued by the European
Commission pursuant to Article 26(2) and (4) of EU Directive
95/46/EC, unless the country in which Genpact processes Wachovia Personal Data is a country the European Commission has determined ensures an adequate level
of privacy protection by reason of its domestic law, in accordance with
Article 25(6) of EU Directive 95/46/EC or unless another form of
standard contractual clauses is required under applicable Privacy Laws (in
which case Genpact shall enter into such other standard contractual clauses
with Wachovia and/or the Eligible Recipients).
(ii) In the event Genpact is
located in the EEA or a country the European Commission has determined ensures
an adequate level of privacy protection under Article 25(6) of EU
Directive 95/46/EC, Genpact shall, among other things, enter into contracts
with such Subcontractors and third parties on terms reasonably acceptable to
Wachovia that require implementation of adequate technical, administrative and
physical safeguards to protect Wachovia Personal Data.
(iii) Genpact shall not, and shall ensure that
Subcontractors and other third parties with whom it contracts to process
Wachovia Personal Data on its behalf shall not, (A) transfer Wachovia
Personal Data to a territory outside the EEA, except on terms substantially in
accordance with the standard contractual clauses issued by the European
Commission pursuant to EU Directive 95/46/EC, and (B) operate in relation
to such Wachovia Personal Data in any way that would be in breach of the
applicable contract.

(g) Further Data Processor Obligations. Genpact shall promptly, and in any
event not later than twenty (20) days after receipt, pass on to Wachovia
or the relevant Eligible Recipient any inquiries or communication (including
subject access requests) from an employee of Wachovia or an Eligible Recipient
relating to their Wachovia Personal Data or its processing or by a Governmental
Entity. If Genpact receives such a
request from a Governmental Entity, after consultation with Wachovia or the
relevant Eligible Recipient, Genpact shall respond to such Governmental Entity
on or before the deadline imposed by such Governmental Entity. Genpact shall at all times act in a manner
consistent with the requirements of any and all codes of practice and guidelines relating to personal data
processing which are generally accepted within the finance, accounting and
human resources outsourcing sectors in so far as they are relevant to the
Services performed by Genpact and in so far as they are applicable to Genpact
in its role as a data processor in relation to Wachovia Personal Data.
15.4 Confidentiality.
(a) Proprietary Information. Genpact and Wachovia each
acknowledge that the other possesses and will continue to possess information
that has been developed or received by it, has commercial value in its or its
customers business and is not generally available to the public. Except as otherwise specifically agreed by
the Parties, Proprietary Information means (i) this
Agreement and the terms hereof; (ii) all information marked confidential,
restricted or proprietary by either Party; and (iii) any other information

obtained by Wachovia during Reviews performed pursuant to Section 15.2(h).
In addition, Proprietary Information of a Party
shall include plans for changes in facilities, business units and product
lines, plans for business mergers, acquisitions or divestitures, rate
information, plans for the development and marketing of new products, financial
forecasts and budgets, technical proprietary information, employee lists and

(b) Obligations.
(i) During the Term and at all times thereafter, Genpact
and Wachovia shall not disclose any, and shall maintain the confidentiality of
all, Proprietary Information of the other Party (and in the case of Genpact,
the Eligible Recipients). Wachovia and
Genpact shall each use at least the same degree of care to safeguard and to
prevent disclosing to third parties the Proprietary Information of the other as
it employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure, publication, dissemination,
destruction, loss, or alteration of its own like information (or information of
its customers) of a similar nature, but not less than reasonable
care. Genpact has required, or shall
require, all Genpact Personnel having access to Wachovia Proprietary
Information to execute a written confidentiality agreement substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 3. Genpact Personnel shall not have access to
Wachovia Proprietary Information without proper authorization. Upon receiving
such authorization, authorized Genpact Personnel shall have access to Wachovia
Proprietary Information only to the extent necessary for such person to perform
his or her obligations under or with respect to this Agreement or as otherwise
naturally occurs in such persons scope of responsibility, provided that such
access is not in violation of Law.
(ii) The Parties may disclose Proprietary
Information to their respective Affiliates, auditors, attorneys, accountants,
consultants, contractors and subcontractors, where (A) use by such person
or entity is authorized under this Agreement, (B) such disclosure is
necessary for the performance of such persons or entitys obligations under or
with respect to this Agreement or otherwise naturally occurs in such persons
or entitys scope of responsibility, and (C) the disclosing Party assumes
full responsibility for the acts or omissions of such person or entity and
takes all reasonable measures to prevent the Proprietary Information from being
disclosed or used in contravention of this Agreement. Any disclosure to such person or entity shall
be under the terms and conditions as provided herein. Each Partys Proprietary Information shall
remain the property of such Party.
(iii) Neither Party shall (A) make any use or
copies of the Proprietary Information of the other Party except as contemplated
by this Agreement, (B) acquire any right in or assert any lien against the
Proprietary Information of the other Party, (C) sell, assign, transfer,
lease, or otherwise dispose of Proprietary Information to third parties or
commercially exploit such information, including through Derivative Works
incorporating such Proprietary Information, or (D) refuse for any reason
(including a default or material breach of this Agreement by the other
Party) to promptly provide the other Partys Proprietary Information
(including copies thereof) to the other Party if requested to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wachovia may
disclose Proprietary Information relating to the terms of this Agreement and/or
Genpacts performance hereunder (e.g., applicable Service Levels and
measurements of Genpacts performance with respect to such Service Levels, but
not including the Charges or information in respect of Genpacts costs of such
performance) in connection with a benchmarking under Section 12.8 or the solicitation of

proposals for or the
procurement of the same or similar services from Wachovia Third Party
Contractors. Upon expiration or any termination of this
Agreement and completion of each Partys obligations under this Agreement, each
Party shall return or destroy, as the other Party may direct, all documentation
in any medium that contains, refers to, or relates to the other Partys
Proprietary Information within thirty (30) days (except Contract Records, which
shall be retained by Genpact for the Audit Period specified in Section 14.1 unless and to the extent Genpact is directed
by Wachovia to deliver such Contract Records to Wachovia prior to the
expiration of such Audit Period).
Each Party shall deliver to the other Party written certification of its
compliance with the preceding sentence signed by an authorized representative
of such Party. In addition, each Party
shall take all necessary steps to ensure that its employees comply with these
confidentiality provisions.
(iv) Wachovia shall cause each of the Eligible
Recipients to comply with the obligations set forth in this Section 15.4(b)(i) and (iii) as they apply to the
Proprietary Information of Genpact.
(c) Exclusions. Section 15.4(b) shall
not apply to any particular information which the receiving Party can
demonstrate (i) is, at the time of disclosure, generally available to the
public other than through a breach of the receiving Partys or a third partys
confidentiality obligations; (ii) after disclosure, is published by the
disclosing Party or otherwise becomes generally available to the public other
than through a breach of the receiving Partys or a third partys
confidentiality obligations; (iii) is lawfully in the possession of the
receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (iv) is received from a third
party having a lawful right to disclose such information; or (v) is
independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to Proprietary
Information of the furnishing Party, provided however, that the exclusions in
the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii) shall not be applicable to the
extent that the disclosure or sharing of such information by one or both
Parties is subject to any limitation, restriction, consent or notification
requirement under any applicable federal or state information Privacy Laws or
regulation then in effect. In addition,
the receiving Party shall not be considered to have breached its obligations
under this Section 15.4 to the
extent it discloses Proprietary Information of the other Party or causes Proprietary Information of the other Party to
be disclosed (i) in a public disclosure or report required by applicable Law,
(ii) in response to a subpoena or information request of a competent Governmental
Entity, or (iii) as otherwise required to satisfy any legal or regulatory
requirement of a competent Governmental Entity.
In such circumstances, the receiving Party shall, to the extent it may
legally do so, advise the other Party of the Proprietary Information to be
disclosed and the identity of the third party requiring such disclosure
promptly upon receiving a subpoena or request for information and/or prior to
making any such disclosure in order that the other Party may interpose an
objection to such disclosure, take action to assure confidential handling of
the Proprietary Information, or take such other action as it deems appropriate
to protect the Proprietary Information.
The receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate with the disclosing Party in its efforts to seek a protective order
or other appropriate remedy or in the event such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded such Proprietary Information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wachovia may delay advising Genpact of
any public disclosure or report or withhold such information if and to the
extent, in Wachovias reasonable discretion, there are legal or business
reasons to do so, such as protection of attorney-client privilege or attorney
work product.
(d) Loss of Proprietary Information. Each Party shall (and with respect
to Proprietary Information of Genpact, Wachovia shall cause the Eligible
Recipients to) (i) immediately notify the other Party of any possession,
use, knowledge, disclosure, or loss of such other Partys Proprietary
Information in contravention of this Agreement, (ii) promptly furnish to
the other Party all known details and assist such other Party in investigating

use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent further possession, use,
knowledge, disclosure, or loss of Proprietary Information in contravention of
this Agreement. Each Party shall bear
any costs it incurs in complying with this Section 15.4(d).
(e) No Implied Rights. Nothing contained in this Section 15.4 shall be
construed as obligating a Party to disclose its Proprietary Information to the other
Party, or as granting to or conferring on a Party, expressly or impliedly, any
rights or license to any Proprietary Information of the other Party.
15.5 File Access.
Wachovia
shall have unrestricted access to, and the right to review and retain the
entirety of, all computer or other files containing Wachovia Data. At no time will any of such files or other
materials or information be stored or held in a form or manner not immediately
accessible to Wachovia. Genpact shall
provide to the Wachovia Project Executive all passwords, codes, comments, keys,
documentation and the locations of any such files promptly upon the request of
Wachovia, including Equipment and Software keys and such information as to
format, encryption (if any) and any other specifications or information
necessary for Wachovia to retrieve, read, revise and/or maintain such

21.4 Indemnification Procedures.
With
respect to third-party claims which are subject to indemnification under this
Agreement (other than as provided in Section 21.5
with respect to claims covered by Section 21.1(g) or
21.2(g)), the following procedures
will apply:
(a) Notice. Promptly after receipt by any entity entitled
to indemnification under this Agreement of notice of the commencement or
threatened commencement of any civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative action or proceeding involving a claim in respect of which the
indemnitee will seek indemnification hereunder, the indemnitee will notify the
indemnitor of such claim setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances pertaining thereto. No
delay or failure to so notify an indemnitor will relieve it of its obligations
under this Agreement except to the extent that such indemnitor has suffered
actual prejudice by such delay or failure.
Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of notice from the
indemnitee relating to any claim, but no later than five (5) days before
the date on which any response to a complaint or summons is due, the indemnitor
will notify the indemnitee that the indemnitor elects to assume control of the
defense and settlement of that claim (a Notice of Election).
(b) Procedure Following Notice of Election. If the
indemnitor delivers a Notice of Election within the required notice period, the
indemnitor will assume sole control over the defense and settlement of the
claim; provided, however, that (i) the indemnitor will keep the indemnitee
fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense, and (ii) the
indemnitor will obtain the prior approval of the indemnitee before entering
into any settlement of such claim imposing any liability for which the
indemnitee will be financially responsible or imposing any obligations or
restrictions on the

indemnitee or ceasing to defend against such
claim. The indemnitor will not be liable
for any legal fees or expenses incurred by the indemnitee following the
delivery of a Notice of Election; provided, however, that (i) the
indemnitee will be entitled to employ counsel at its own expense to participate
in the handling of the claim, and (ii) the indemnitor will pay the fees
and expenses associated with such counsel if (A) there is a conflict of
interest with respect to such claim which is not otherwise resolved, (B) the
indemnitor has requested the assistance of the indemnitee in the defense of the
claim or (C) the indemnitor has failed to defend the claim diligently and
the indemnitee is prejudiced or likely to be prejudiced by such failure. The indemnitor will not be obligated to
indemnify the indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by such indemnitee in
the settlement of any claim if (i) the indemnitor has delivered a timely
Notice of Election and such amount was agreed to without the consent of the
indemnitor, (ii) the indemnitee has not provided the indemnitor with
notice of such claim and a reasonable opportunity to respond thereto, or (iii) the
time period within which to deliver a Notice of Election has not yet expired.
(c) Procedure Where No Notice of Election Is Delivered. If the
indemnitor does not deliver a Notice of Election relating to any claim within
the required notice period, the indemnitee will have the right to defend the
claim in such manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate. The indemnitor will promptly reimburse the
indemnitee for all such reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
indemnitee, including reasonable attorneys fees.
(d) Claim Information. In the
event of a claim for indemnity under this Article 21,
the indemnitee shall grant the indemnitor reasonable access to documents and
other information in connection with the matters for which indemnification is
sought to the extent such indemnitor reasonably deems necessary in connection
with determining its rights and obligations under this Article 21.
21.5 Indemnification Procedures Governmental
Claims.
With
respect to claims covered by Section 21.1(g) or
21.2(g)), the following procedures
will apply:
(a) Notice. Promptly after receipt by a Party of notice
of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action or proceeding
involving a claim in respect of which such Party, the indemnitee, will seek
indemnification pursuant to Section 21.1(g) or
21.2(g), the indemnitee will notify
the indemnitor of such claim setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances pertaining thereto. No
delay or failure to so notify the indemnitor will relieve the indemnitee of its
obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the indemnitor has
suffered actual prejudice by such delay or failure.
(b) Procedure for Defense. The indemnitee will be entitled, at its
option, to have the claim handled pursuant to this Section 21.5
or to retain control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided
that, in the latter case, the indemnitee will:
(i) consult with the indemnitor and reasonably
consider the indemnitors views on the selection of counsel;
(ii) consult with the indemnitor on a regular basis
regarding claim processing (including actual and anticipated costs and
expenses) and litigation strategy;
(iii) reasonably consider any indemnitor settlement
proposals or suggestions;
(iv) consult with the indemnitor and reasonably

provision of this Agreement, the indemnitor will, upon payment of such
indemnity in full, be subrogated to all rights of the indemnitee with respect
to the claims to which such indemnification relates.
22. DAMAGES
22.1 General Intent.
Subject
to the specific provisions and limitations of this Article 22, it is the intent of
the Parties that each Party will be liable to the other Party for any actual
damages incurred by the other Party as a result of the first Partys failure to
perform its obligations in the manner required by this Agreement or any
Statement of Work.
22.2 Direct Damages.
Except
as otherwise provided in this Article 22,
the aggregate liability of Genpact and Wachovia to each other for any and all
cause(s) of action, regardless of the form of action (including contract, tort,
negligence or any other), arising out of or resulting from the performance or
breach of this Agreement or any Statement of Work in a Contract Year, including
for any Operational Losses incurred in such Contract Year (but subject to Section 22.3(a)(i) in respect
of Operational Losses under a Statement of Work specifying a Historic Level of
Operational Losses), (a Direct Damage Claim)
shall in no event exceed in the aggregate:
(a) in respect of [[[***]]] or

Work in excess of the historic level of Operational Losses experienced by
Wachovia set forth in the applicable Statement of Work and as adjusted pursuant
to Section 22.3(b) (the
Historic Level) in any Contract
Year; provided, however, that Genpacts responsibility for Operational Losses
under such Statement of Work in any Contract Year shall not exceed an amount
equal to [[[***]]] the Historic Level.

(ii) The Historic Level specified in the applicable
Statement of Work shall be equal to the historic level of Operational Losses
experienced by Wachovia for the process that is the subject of such Statement
of Work during the thirty-six (36) months preceding the SOW Commencement Date
and shall be net of any Operational Losses experienced as a result of the
fraudulent activities of Wachovia personnel.
The applicable Statement of Work shall also specify the relevant
transaction volumes of the applicable process during such thirty-six (36) month
period. If there is not a historic level
of Operational Losses for the full thirty-six (36) month period, the Parties
shall establish in the applicable Statement of Work a presumptive level based
on the historic level available, a baseline during which the Parties shall
measure such Operational Losses and the allocation of responsibility for
Operational Losses during such baseline measurement period.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in a specific
Statement of Work in respect of a particular settlement process with irregular
Operational Losses the Parties may agree to a different allocation of
responsibility for Operational Losses if such different allocation has been
approved by each of (A) the CFO of the affected Wachovia business line and
(B) the Wachovia Outsourcing Governance Director.
(iv) Genpacts liability in any Contract Year for
Operational Losses under all Statements of Work specifying a Historic Level
shall be counted toward the cap for such Contract Year under Section 22.2.
(v) Any claim by Wachovia for Operational Losses
under a Statement of Work that does not specify a Historic Level shall be a
Direct Damage Claim subject to the applicable cap under Section 22.2 and shall not include
damages that are excluded pursuant to Section 22.4
except as provided in Section 22.5 or 22.6.
(vi) Genpacts liability in any Contract Year for all
Operational Losses under all Statements of Work, whether or not specifying a
Historic Level, shall not exceed, the cap for such Contract Year under Section 22.2.
(b) Adjustments in Historic
Levels.
(i) If at any time during the first Contract Year
of a Statement of Work for which a Historic Level is specified the Parties
discover that the Historic Level was based upon inaccurate information, then
the Parties shall adjust the Historic Level appropriately.
(ii) At the end of each Contract Year under a
Statement of Work for which a Historic Level is specified:
(A) the Parties shall compare the actual transaction volumes under such
Statement of Work to the relevant transaction volumes specified in such
Statement of Work for the twelve (12) months preceding the SOW Commencement
Date. If the actual transaction volumes
during such Contract Year is more than ten percent (10%) higher than or lower
than such transaction volumes specified in the Statement of Work, then the
Historic Level applicable to the next Contract Year shall be increased or
decreased, as the case may be, by the same percentage; and
(B) if changes in technology implemented by Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients
during such Contract Year (or during the previous Contract Year) have resulted
in a reduction over a consecutive six (6) month period of more than ten
percent (10%) from the Historic Level applicable to such Contract Year, then

Historic Level applicable to the next Contract
Year shall be reduced by the same percentage.
22.4 Consequential Damages.
Except
as provided in Section 22.5 or 22.6,
neither Party will be liable to the other Party for indirect, incidental or
consequential damages, regardless of the form of the action or the theory of
recovery, even if such Party has been advised of the possibility of such
damages.
22.5 Exclusions.
The
limitations or exculpations of liability set forth in Sections 22.2,
22.3 and 22.4 will not apply to:
(a) Losses occasioned by the fraud, knowing or willful misconduct or gross
negligence of a Party;
(b) Losses that are the subject or indemnification under Section 21.1(d), (e), (f), (g),
(h), (j), (l), (m)
or Section 21.2(d), (e), (f), (g),
(h), (i), (k) or (l);
(c) Losses occasioned by breaches of Article 15 (except for Section 15.5); and
(d) Losses occasioned by Genpacts refusal to provide Termination Assistance
Services. For purposes of this
provision, refusal means the intentional cessation by Genpact, in a manner
impermissible under this Agreement, of the performance of all or a material
portion of the Termination Assistance Services then required to be provided by
Genpact under this Agreement.
22.6 Items Not Considered Damages.
The
following amounts will not be considered damages subject to, and will not be
counted toward the liability exclusion or cap specified in, Section 22.2, 22.3 or 22.4;
(a) Service Level Credits or Deliverable Credits assessed against Genpact;
(b) amounts withheld by Wachovia in accordance with this Agreement or the
applicable Statement of Work;
(c) amounts paid by Wachovia but subsequently recovered from Genpact; and
(d) invoiced Charges and other amounts that are due and owing to Genpact for
Services under this Agreement or any Statement of Work.
22.7 Mitigation Efforts.
Genpact
and Wachovia each agree to use reasonable efforts to mitigate their own, as
well as each others, liability, damages, and other losses suffered in
connection with this Agreement or any Statement of Work. Where damages or losses can be mitigated by
lawfully pursuing recovery from other third parties, Genpact and Wachovia shall
conduct or permit diligent efforts to so recover, with the associated expense
to be borne by each Party in proportion to each such Partys responsibility for
such losses, if any. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in respect of Operational Losses, Wachovia reserves the right,
consistent with its practices during the measurement period of the applicable
Historical Level, to determine the strategy and approach to be employed in
pursuing recovery from its customers and to elect not to pursue recovery from
some or all its customers in certain circumstances. In such circumstances, Genpacts financial
responsibility will be equitably reduced, taking into account the extent to
which claims would otherwise have been brought, the

24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
24.1 Informal Dispute Resolution.
Prior
to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures with respect to any
dispute, other than as provided in Section 24.1(f),
the Parties shall first attempt to resolve such dispute informally, as follows:
(a) Initial Effort. The Parties agree that the Wachovia Project
Executive and the Global Operations Leader shall attempt in good faith to
resolve all disputes (other than those described in Section 24.1(f)). In the event the Wachovia Project Executive
and the Global Operations Leader are unable to resolve a dispute in an amount
of time that either Party deems reasonable under the circumstances, such Party
may refer the dispute for resolution to the senior corporate executives as
specified in Section 24.1(b) upon
notice to the other Party.
(b) Senior Corporate Executives. Within five (5) business days
after a notice under Section 24.1(a) referring
a dispute for resolution by the Wachovia Project Executive and the Global
Operations Leader, Wachovias designated senior corporate executive and Genpacts
Chief Financial Officer will discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in
an effort to resolve the dispute. In the
event such senior corporate executives are unable to resolve a dispute in an
amount of time that either Party deems reasonable under the circumstances, such
Party may refer the dispute for resolution to the President of each Party as
specified in Section 24.1(c) upon
notice to the other Party.
(c) Presidents. Within five (5) business days after a
notice under Section 24.1(b) referring
a dispute for resolution by the President of each Party, the Presidents will
discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the
dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. The specific format for the discussions will
be left to the discretion of the Presidents, but may include the preparation of
agreed-upon statements of fact or written statements of position.
(d) Provision of Information. During the course of negotiations
under Sections 24.1(a), (b) or (c),
all requests made by one Party to another for non-privileged information, reasonably related to the dispute,
will be honored in order that each of the Parties may be fully advised of the
others position. All negotiation shall
be strictly confidential and used solely for the purposes of settlement. Any materials prepared by one Party for these
proceedings shall not be used as evidence by the other Party in any subsequent
arbitration or litigation; provided, however, the underlying facts supporting
such materials may be subject to discovery.
(e) Prerequisite to Formal Proceedings. Formal proceedings for the
resolution of a dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of:
(i) the Presidents under Section 24.1(c) concluding
in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the
matter does not appear likely; or
(ii) thirty (30) days after the notice under Section 24.1(b) referring
the dispute to the Presidents of the Parties.
(f) Exclusions From Dispute
Resolution.
(i) The provisions and time periods specified in
this Section 24.1 shall not be
construed to prevent a Party from instituting, and a Party is authorized to
institute, formal proceedings earlier to (A) avoid the expiration of any
applicable limitations period, (B) preserve a superior position with
respect to other creditors, (C) address a claim arising out of the breach
of a Partys obligations under Article 15,
or (D) address a claim arising out of the

breach or attempted or threatened breach of the
obligations described in the next paragraph.
(ii) Genpact acknowledges that, in the event it
breaches its obligation to provide Termination Assistance Services in
accordance with this Agreement, its obligation respecting continued performance
in accordance with Section 24.3,
or its obligation to provide Wachovia with access to Wachovia Data in
accordance with Section 15.1,
Wachovia and/or the Eligible Recipients may be irreparably harmed. In such a circumstance, Wachovia may proceed
directly to court. If a court of
competent jurisdiction finds that Genpact has breached (or attempted or
threatened to breach) any such obligations, Genpact 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 Genpact and restraining it from any further breaches (or
attempted or threatened breaches).
24.2 Arbitration.
Any
controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the breach, termination or validity thereof (a Dispute)
will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance
with the Dispute Resolution Procedures of the American Arbitration Associations
International Centre for Dispute Resolution then in effect (the Rules). The
arbitration hearing will be held in New York, New York. All proceedings of such arbitration will be
in the English language.
(a) Arbitration Panel. The arbitration panel will consist of a sole
arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules.
(b) Expenses. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by any Party in connection
with any Dispute will be paid by the non-prevailing Party in accordance with
the direction of the arbitrator.
(c) Equitable Remedies. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to
limit a Partys rights to seek injunctive relief or specific performance.
24.3 Continued Performance.
(a) General. Each Party agrees that it shall, unless
otherwise directed by the other Party, continue performing its obligations
under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved; provided that this
provision shall not operate or be construed as extending the Term or a SOW Term
or prohibiting or delaying a Partys exercise of any right it may have to
terminate the Term or a SOW Term as to all or any part of the Services. For purposes of clarification, Wachovia Data
may not be withheld by Genpact pending the resolution of any dispute.
(b) Non-Interruption of Services. Genpact
acknowledges and agrees that any interruption to the Service may cause
irreparable harm to Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients, in which case an
adequate remedy at law would not be available.
Genpact expressly acknowledges and agrees that, pending resolution of
any dispute or controversy, it shall not deny, withdraw, or restrict Genpacts
provision of the Services to either Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients under
this Agreement, except as specifically and expressly agreed by Wachovia and
Genpact.
24.4 Governing Law.
This
Agreement and performance under it shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the applicable Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the
principles thereof relating to

shall not apply to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
hereunder, to the extent such exclusion is legally permissible under such
adopted form of UCITA.
25. TERMINATION
25.1 Termination of Agreement for Cause.
(a) By Wachovia.
(i) If Genpact:
(A) commits a material breach of this Agreement (or commits numerous breaches
of its duties or obligations which collectively constitute a material breach of
this Agreement), which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice
of the breach from Wachovia;
(B) commits a material breach of this Agreement which is not capable of being
cured within the period specified in, and pursuant to, Section 25.1(a)(i)(A);
(C) fails to perform in accordance with more than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the Critical Service Levels
under all Statements of Work in any rolling twelve (12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation
of the percentage for each month shall include all Statements of Work in effect
during such month;
(D) fails to report, or take reasonable measures to resolve, an Electronic
Incident, as provided in Section 15.2(g); or
(E) fails to take reasonable measures to remedy a risk identified in an
information security review, as
provided in Section 15.2(h);
or
(ii) pursuant to Section 25.2(a)(i), Wachovia terminates Statements of
Work representing forty percent (40%) or more of the total number of FTEs
providing Services under all Statements of Work. The percentage shall be equal to the quotient
of (A) the sum of the FTE counts specified for the month in which the Full
Production Date falls in each Statement of Work that has been terminated by
Wachovia pursuant to Section 25.2(a)(i) since
the Effective Date, divided by (B) the sum of the FTE counts specified for
the month in which the Full Production Date falls in each Statement of Work that
has been executed since the Effective Date, multiplied by one hundred percent
(100%).
then
Wachovia may, by giving notice to Genpact, terminate this Agreement and all
Statements of Work then in effect as of a date specified in the notice of
termination. Genpact shall not be
entitled to recover any Stranded Costs or Termination Charge in connection with
such a termination for cause.
(b) By Genpact.
(i) If Wachovia:
(A) commits a material breach of Article 15
in respect of the Proprietary Information of Genpact, which breach (1) is
not capable of being cured or (2) if

curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days
after notice from Genpact of such default; or
(B) misappropriates Genpacts intellectual property
in violation of its obligations under this Agreement which is not capable of
being cured within the period specified in, and pursuant to, Section 25.1(b)(i)(A)(2); or
(ii) If, pursuant to Section 25.2(b), Genpact terminates Statements of
Work representing forty percent (40%) or more of the total number of FTEs
providing Services under all Statements of Work. The percentage shall be equal to the quotient
of (A) the sum of the FTE counts specified for the month in which the Full
Production Date falls in each Statement of Work that has been terminated by
Genpact pursuant to Section 25.2(b)(i) since
the Effective Date, divided by (B) the sum of the FTE counts specified for
the month in which the Full Production Date falls in each Statement of Work that
has been executed since the Effective Date, multiplied by one hundred percent
(100%);
then
Genpact may terminate this Agreement and all Statements of Work then in effect
upon notice to Wachovia.
25.2 Termination of Statement of Work for Cause.
(a) By Wachovia. If:
(i) Genpact commits a material breach of its
obligations with respect to Transition Services, including providing any
Deliverables, and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days (or such
longer cure period set forth in the applicable Statement of Work) after its
receipt of notice;
(ii) Genpact fails to obtain any Genpact Consent
within sixty (60) days after the SOW Commencement Date and such failure
has a material adverse impact on the use of the Services by Wachovia or the
Eligible Recipients, and no reasonable workaround is available and Wachovia
exercises such right as provided in Section 5.3(d);
(iii) if any event described in Section 10.2(c) substantially
prevents, hinders or delays the performance by Genpact, its Subcontractors or
an alternate source paid by Genpact of Services necessary for the performance
of critical Wachovia or Eligible Recipient functions for more than fifteen (15)
days;
(iv) unless the Parties are complying with the plan
agreed pursuant to Section 10.5(d) or
the Parties otherwise agreed, Wachovias control over the Services under a
Statement of Work providing for step-in rights persists as provided in Section 10.5(e) with respect
to any Wachovia or Eligible Recipient functions identified in such Statement of
Work as critical;
(v) Genpact commits a material breach of a Statement of Work (or commits
numerous breaches of its duties or obligations which collectively constitute a
material breach of such Statement of Work), which breach is not cured within

(vii) Genpact fails to perform in accordance with any
Expected Service Level under a
Statement of Work in six (6) months in any rolling twelve (12)

(ix) unless otherwise agreed in the applicable

Work as of a date specified in the notice of termination. Genpact shall not be entitled to recover any
Stranded Costs or Termination Charge in connection with such a termination for
cause. If Wachovia chooses to terminate

hundred seventy (270) days prior notice (if at the time of the notice the
Genpact Personnel constitute 1,000 or more FTEs, as calculated below)
designating the termination date. If
Wachovia chooses to terminate any Statement of Work in part, the Charges
payable under the applicable Statement of Work will be equitably adjusted in
accordance with the pricing methodology set forth in Schedule O and such Statement of Work, to

25.4 Termination Upon Genpact Change of Control.
In
the event of a change in Control of Genpact or the Entity that Controls
Genpact, where such Control is acquired, directly or indirectly, in a single
transaction or series of related transactions, or if (a) all or
substantially all of the assets of Genpact are acquired by any entity or (b) Genpact
is merged with or into another entity to form a new entity, provided that such
merger results in a change of Control of Genpact or the Entity that Controls
Genpact, or in the event of a change in the executive management of Genpact or
the Entity that Controls Genpact, then at any time within six (6) months
after the date Genpacts notice to Wachovia of Genpacts intent to enter into
such a transaction, Wachovia may at its option terminate the Agreement by
giving Genpact at least six (6) months prior notice and designating a date

over all or substantially all of its assets, (e) makes an assignment for
the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors or (f) experiences an event analogous
to any of the foregoing in any jurisdiction in which any material portion of

of a date specified in a termination notice; provided, however, that Genpact
shall not have the right to exercise such termination under this Section 25.5 so long as
Wachovia pays for the Services to be received hereunder in advance on a
month-to-month basis. If a Party elects
to terminate this Agreement due to the insolvency of the other Party, such
termination will be deemed to be a termination for cause hereunder and Genpact
shall not be entitled to recover any Stranded
Costs or Termination Charge in connection with such a termination for
the insolvency of Genpact.
25.6 Wachovia Rights Upon Genpacts Bankruptcy.
(a) General Rights. In the event of Genpacts bankruptcy or other

assist Wachovia and the Eligible Recipients in identifying and taking
possession of the items listed in the preceding sentence. Wachovia shall have the right to hold such

Materials until such time as the trustee or receiver in bankruptcy or other
appropriate insolvency office holder can provide adequate assurances and
evidence to Wachovia that they will be protected from sale, release,
inspection, publication, or inclusion in any publicly accessible record,
document, material or filing. Genpact
and Wachovia agree that without this material provision, Wachovia would not
have entered into this Agreement or provided any right to the possession or use
of Wachovia Data, Wachovia Proprietary Information, or Wachovia Software
covered by this Agreement.
(b) Wachovia Rights in Event of Bankruptcy Rejection.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
in the event that Genpact becomes a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy
Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et. seq. or any similar Law in any other country (the Bankruptcy Code)) and rejects this Agreement pursuant to Section 365
of the Bankruptcy Code (a Bankruptcy Rejection)
or other similar provision, (i) any and all of the licensee and sublicense
rights of Wachovia and the Eligible Recipients arising under or otherwise set
forth in this Agreement, including without limitation the rights of Wachovia

determined by a bankruptcy court not to be intellectual property rights for
purposes of Section 365(n), all of such rights shall remain vested in and
fully retained by Wachovia and/or the Eligible Recipients according to its
terms after any Bankruptcy Rejection as though this Agreement were terminated
or expired according to its terms. To
the extent that Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code is applicable,
Wachovia shall under no circumstances be required to terminate this Agreement

under this Agreement, including without limitation any of the rights of
Wachovia referred to in Section 26.2.
25.7 Termination for Genpact Degraded Financial
Condition.
If
Genpact or other obligor is notified in writing by its bank group of a default
under one or more of the covenants of its senior loan agreement, then Genpact
shall promptly notify Wachovia. If
Wachovia determines in its sole discretion that, as a consequence of Genpacts
financial condition and prospects and in light of the nature and extent of any
changes in the terms and conditions that would be necessary in order to enable
Genpact to continue to perform the Services in accordance with the Service
Levels and other provisions of this Agreement, continuation of this Agreement

27.6 Relationship of Parties.
Genpact,
in furnishing services to Wachovia and the Eligible Recipients hereunder, is
acting as an independent contractor, and Genpact has the sole obligation to
supervise, manage, contract, direct, procure, perform or cause to be performed,
all work to be performed by Genpact under this Agreement. The relationship of the Parties under this
Agreement shall not constitute a partnership or joint venture for any purpose. Except
as expressly provided in this Agreement, Genpact is not an agent of Wachovia or
the Eligible Recipients and has no right, power or authority, expressly or
impliedly, to represent or bind Wachovia or the Eligible Recipients as to any
matters, except as expressly authorized in this Agreement.
27.7 Severability.
In
the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law under
which this Agreement is to be construed or if any such provision is held
invalid or unenforceable by a court with jurisdiction over the Parties, 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
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the application of the challenged
provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each such provision
shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by applicable Law.
27.8 Consents, Approvals and Requests.
Except
where expressly provided as being in the sole discretion of a Party, where
agreement, approval, acceptance, consent, confirmation, notice or similar
action by either Party is required under this Agreement, such action shall not
be unreasonably delayed or withheld. An
approval or consent given by a Party under this Agreement shall not relieve the
other Party from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this
Agreement, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any rights under this
Agreement, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such
approval or consent. Each Party shall
make only reasonable requests under this Agreement, except to the extent that a
request by Wachovia is being made at the request of a Governmental Entity
having jurisdiction over Wachovia.

exercise any right or power under this Agreement shall not be construed to be a
waiver thereof. A waiver by either of
the Parties hereto of any of the covenants to be performed by the other or any
breach thereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach
thereof or of any other covenant herein contained. All waivers must be in writing and signed by
the Party waiving its rights.
(b) Cumulative Remedies. All remedies provided for in this Agreement
shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies
available to either Party at law, in equity or otherwise. The election by a
Party of any remedy provided for in this Agreement or otherwise available to

available to such Party at Law, in equity, by contract or otherwise.

WHEREAS, Wachovia and Genpact are parties to the Agreement and have
agreed to amend the Agreement as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, and of other good and valid consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Wachovia and Genpact hereby agree
as follows:
AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT
1. Section 3.1
Term, Initial Term is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
(a) The
initial term of this Agreement shall commence as of 12:00:01 a.m. Eastern
Time, on the Effective Date and, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated as

calendar year.
2. Section 6.2,
Infrastructure for the Provision of the Services, Physically Segregated
Facilities: Delete all references to building
and replace them with facility.
3. Section 6.2
(a) and (b) Physically Segregated Facilities: Replace all references
to FTEs with Full Production FTEs.
4. Section 7.1(b) Service
Level Performance Standards: Delete all references to Exhibit "F"
and replace with Exhibit "C".
2
5. Section 7.2
Service Level Credits, Earnback and Deliverable Credits: Delete all
references to Exhibit "F" and replace with Exhibit "C".
6. Section 8.5(c),
Turnover Rate and Data, of the Agreement is deleted and replaced in its
entirety with the following:
In connection with entering into a Statement of Work, Wachovia and
Genpact shall jointly establish a monthly expected level of Turnover and a maximum
acceptable level of Turnover based upon the requirements of the business
process covered by such Statement of Work and the Service Levels set forth in
such Statement of Work. Such levels shall take into account transaction volume
fluctuations. The Parties shall reconsider these levels of Turnover at the
beginning of each anniversary of the SOW Commencement Date and make any
mutually agreeable adjustment, including, for example, changing the basis of
Turnover levels from individual Statements of Work to Lines of Business. For
the purposes of this Agreement and all Statements of Work hereunder, Wachovia
and Genpact agree that the expected level of Turnover and the maximum
acceptable level of Turnover shall be as specified in the applicable
Statement(s)of Work.
(i) If
the average Turnover rate viewed for each individual Statement of Work, during
the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to each anniversary of the SOW
Commencement Date, is above the expected level but below the maximum
acceptable level, then Genpact shall prepare, and the Parties shall discuss
and jointly agree upon, an action plan to reduce such Turnover rate and Genpact
shall implement the agreed-upon plan.
(ii) If
the average Turnover rate viewed for each individual Statement of Work, during
the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to each anniversary of the SOW
Commencement Date, is above the maximum acceptable level, then the Operating
Council shall act immediately to reduce such Turnover, and Genpact shall invest
two percent (2%) of the average monthly Base Charges paid under the affected
Statement(s) of Work during the twelve (12) months prior to the month in which
the Turnover rate is calculated into measures to reduce the Turnover rate below
the maximum acceptable level and Genpact shall continue to do so until the
Turnover rate falls below such level, within a reasonable period of time.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Genpact shall not be
required to make such investment in respect of a Statement of Work, on which
less than fifty (50) FTEs are engaged, in the event the average Turnover rate
for such Statement of Work is above the maximum acceptable level.
For the purposes of this Section 8.5(c) and
the Agreement, Turnover shall mean the replacement of FTEs on the Wachovia
account by Genpact. The Turnover rate will be calculated using the FTEs
identified in a Statement of Work that are assigned to perform the Production
Services described in that Statement of Work and such other FTEs as the Parties
mutually agree to include in the calculation. For the purposes of this Section 8.5(c).
Production Services means the Services that Genpact begins to provide at the
SOW Commencement Date. It is hereby clarified that the following categories of
3
FFEs will not be considered when calculating the Turnover rate: (a) FTEs
that are not assigned to the Wachovia account, (b) FTEs that have not been
issued a Wachovia process identity (c) FTEs engaged in the support of IT,
quality, training, and human resource management on the Wachovia account, (d) FTEs
that are removed from the Wachovia account, or reassigned within the Wachovia
account, at Wachovias request, or with Wachovias prior consent, as the case
may be, and (e) FTEs that have worked on an SOW for a continuous period of
two (2) years; provided, however, that the number of FTEs that are
replaced after two (2) years may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total
number of FTEs working on the Wachovia account on a month-to-month basis. For
the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 8.5(c) are
in addition to Genpacts other obligations under the Agreement, including but
not limited to its obligation to satisfy Service Level requirements pursuant to
Article 7 of the Agreement and its obligations to maintain work standards,
including the provision of qualified personnel, pursuant to Article 18 of
the Agreement.
7. Section 14.9(a),
SAS 70 Type II Audit, is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the
following:

Genpact shall cause a Type II Statement of Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 audit to be conducted at least annually or such
other period as required by law or regulation if such is more frequent than
annually by an auditor that is reasonably acceptable to Wachovia for (i) any
critical business processes that Wachovia, in its reasonable discretion,
identifies to Genpact as being subject to a Type II SAS 70 audit, provided that
the cost of any such audits shall not exceed five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000.00) in aggregate annually and (ii) internal controls (including
but not limited to controls relating to Genpacts internal enabling functions
such as financial controls, information technology controls, risk assessment

Eligible Recipients. For the purpose of this Section 14.9(a),
a critical business process is any process that Wachovia reasonably believes
will impact Wachovias compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002. For all Type II SAS 70 audits other than those relating to critical business
processes, Genpact shall consider issues and concerns raised by Wachovia in the
planning of each such audit, provide notice to Wachovia as to the scope and
timing of each such audit and accommodate Wachovias requirements and concerns
to the extent practicable. For all critical business process Type II SAS 70
audits, Wachovia will provide notice Genpact as to the scope and timing of each
such audit and will accommodate Genpacts requirements and concerns to the
extent possible. Genpact shall provide Wachovia with a report from each SAS 70
audit to facilitate periodic compliance reporting by Wachovia and the Eligible
Recipients under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (and implementing regulations
promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board) and comparable Laws in other jurisdictions.
To the extent the resulting audit report is relevant to Wachovia or the
Eligible Recipients, Genpact shall provide a copy of such report to Wachovia
and its independent auditors for review and comment as soon as reasonably
practicable and in all events within forty-five (45) days after the issuance of
the report. Genpact shall respond to such report in accordance with this
4
Section 14.9(a). For the purposes of
this Section 14.9(a), a SAS 70 Type II Report is a report prepared in
accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, Service Organizations, as amended issued by the Auditing
Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Genpact shall issue all such invoices for the Charges within ten (10) days
after the beginning of each month. Issuing invoices is subject to Genpact
receiving a Purchase Order from Wachovia at least 10 days prior to the last

separate monthly invoices for each Purchase Order issued by Wachovia. The
invoice shall be delivered to Wachovia, at the address listed in the Statement
of Work and/or electronically. Unless otherwise required under a Statement of
Work, Genpact shall not invoice Wachovia for any advance or concurrent charges

transfer of immediately available United States funds into an account
designated by the Company.

(a) If a Qualified Initial
Public Offering or a Change of Control shall have occurred prior to the MSA

Business Day), subject to Section 2.04(f), the Early Termination Cash
Payment to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available United States
funds into an account designated by the Company.
(b) If the MSA Termination
Date shall have occurred on or prior to the date of a Qualified Initial Public
Offering or the date of a Change of Control, on the earlier to occur of a
Qualified Initial Public Offering and a Change of Control, WB shall pay the
Early Termination Cash Payment to the Company by wire transfer of immediately
available United States funds into an account designated by the Company.
Section 2.03. Qualified Initial Public Offering and
Change of Control. If both a Qualified Initial Public Offering
and a Change of Control shall have occurred prior to any or each of the MSA
Termination Date, and/or the 2010 FTE Measurement Date, the calculations under
Sections 2.01 and 2.02 shall be based on the first to have occurred of a
Qualified Initial Public Offering and a Change of Control.
Section 2.04. Index.
(a) Index Population;
Index Value. The initial population
of the Index, including the Index Representation, will be selected by the
Company in its sole discretion within ten (10) days after the IPO Date and
shall consist of no more than ten (10) BPO/ITO Companies. The Initial Index Value shall be determined

Value to reflect any change in value of the Removed Company through the Removal

did not prevail in such determination, as determined by such investment banking
firm, or if the investment banking firm determines that neither party could be
fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees, costs and expenses
will be borne 50% by WB and 50% by the Company.

Days after receipt by WB of the Index Differential Calculation, such Index
Differential Calculation will be conclusively presumed to be true and correct

third Business Day following the final determination of the Index Differential
Calculation pursuant to this Section 2.04(f), WB shall pay the excess, if

applicable, calculated based on the finally determined Index Differential

full extent permitted by applicable law.

A delay or omission by either party hereto
to exercise any right or power under this Agreement shall not be construed to
