14

Confidential
6.ACCEPTANCE
1.1 Where applicable, the Parties shall agree and set out Acceptance Criteria for each Acceptance Item and the rest of this clause 6 shall apply. If no such procedures or criteria are set out, the Services provided under the Agreement shall be deemed .accepted upon receipted delivery to the Customer and the remaining clauses of this clause 6 shall not apply, save that in the case of documentary Deliverables any failure to comply with a requirement that they be clearly and concisely set out with no material errors or omissions shall entitle the Customer to require that they be rectified and redelivered at no additional charge.
1.2 The Service Provider must undertake its own internal testing of any Acceptance Item before submitting it to the Customer for acceptance testing.
1.3 The Service Provider must provide the Customer with at least seven (7) Business Days' notice prior to submitting any item for acceptance testing.
1.4 Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, the Customer shall conduct the acceptance testing promptly after receiving the Acceptance Item and promptly notify the Service Provider whether it accepts, rejects or conditionally accepts the Acceptance Item. The Customer shall promptly issue an Acceptance Certificate if it accepts or conditionally accepts the Acceptance Item.
1.5 The Service Provider shall provide all reasonable support to the Customer in relation to conducting the acceptance testing at no additional charge.
1.6 If the Service Provider conducts the acceptance testing, the Customer shall be entitled to observe the acceptance testing and shall provide reasonable support to the Service Provider in relation to the conduct of the acceptance testing.
1.7 If an Acceptance Item is rejected, the Customer shall provide reasons for such rejection, and the Service Provider, shall remedy the relevant defects at no additional charge and re-submit the Acceptance Item to the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable but in all cases within seven (7) Business Days or such longer period as may be reasonable in the circumstances and as such longer period is stipulated in the applicable Change Control Note.
1.8 If an Acceptance Item is rejected a second time, without prejudice to any other rights the Customer may have, the Customer shall have the option to:
1.1.1 require the Service Provider to rectify any defects and re-submit the Acceptance Item for acceptance;
1.1.2 accept the Acceptance Item subject to an equitable reduction in fees (which shall be at least 10%) and, in this scenario, such Acceptance Item shall be treated as if it were fully accepted; or
15

Confidential
1.1.3 immediately terminate the Service related to the Acceptance Item and any other affected Services for material breach and be refunded all Charges paid under this Agreement in connection with the same provided that all Acceptance Items related to such termination are returned to the Service Provider.
1.9 In no circumstances (other than those referred to later in this clause) shall the Customer be deemed to have accepted an Acceptance Item, other than where it is unconditionally accepted and an Acceptance Certificate is issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Customer agrees that if it puts an Acceptance Item into live, productive use without either the prior written consent of the Service Provider or having agreed as part of the original Acceptance Testing approach that the final test is live use or as part of any conditional acceptance that this would happen then it shall be deemed to have accepted the Acceptance Item.
1.10 Notwithstanding clause 6.9, the Service Provider may issue an invoice for the relevant Milestone payment if the Customer has not confirmed acceptance or rejection within one month of the due date for acceptance of the Acceptance Item. For the avoidance of doubt, the lack of confirmation of acceptance shall not be ground for the Customer to claim that the invoice has been improperly rendered pursuant to paragraph 3.7 of Schedule 10 (Pricebook, Charging & Invoicing).
1.11 If the Customer conditionally accepts an Acceptance Item, it shall notify the Service Provider of the conditions to which the acceptance is subject and the Acceptance Item shall not be fully accepted until such conditions have been met.

The Service Provider shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to include such a Holdback.

31.FORCE MAJEURE
1.1 Neither Party shall be liable for default or delay in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement:
1.1.1 if the default or delay is caused by a ca use beyond the reasonable control of such Party (it being agreed that causes beyond the reasonable control of a Party shall not include strikes or lock outs of its own personnel); and
1.1.2 provided the non-performing Party is without fault in causing the default or delay and the default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions (which for these purposes shall include complying with that Party's Disaster Recovery Plan and/or Business Continuity Plan or, if of a higher standard, disaster recovery plans consistent with Good Industry Practice) or circumvented by workarounds.
1.2 The non-performing Party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as:
1.1.1 the circumstances prevail; and
1.1.2 the Party continues to use its best efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay.

1.4 In the event that a Force Majeure Event interrupts the provision of one or more Service Towers within the Run Services for in excess of thirty (30) days the Customer may terminate the affected Service Tower( s) or if more than two (2) Service Towers are affected, all of them in whole or in part on the provision of written notice. If the Force Majeure Event interrupts the provision of Change

1.1.3 a Regulator requires the Customer to do so; or

then, without limiting any other rights it may have, the Customer may take control of the part of the Services affected by the Service Provider default or non-performance, or the Force Majeure Event and in the case of clause 32.1.3, the Customer shall take control of the part of the Services affected by the regulatory direction (in each case, "Step In") for a maximum period of two (2) months after which the Customer shall either terminate this Agreement pursuant to any rights to do so hereunder it may have or allow the Service Provider to resume performance of the relevant Service.
1.2 In exercising its rights of Step In the Customer may perform any act that the Customer deems reasonably necessary in order to restore the Services (including by engaging a third party service provider) or may direct the Service Provider to procure those Services from a third party supplier provided that the Customer: (i) complies with the Service Provider's reasonable security and confidentiality policies as notified to the Customer; (ii) procures that any third party that it engages signs an Agreed Form NOA, with an obligation to erect "ethical" walls within its own organisation to protect the Service Provider's confidentiality, if the third party stepping in is a competitor of the Service Provider; (iii) does not have unsupervised access to the Service Provider's facilities and shared computing environment; and (iv) does not require the Service Provider to disclose its commercially sensitive information to any third party.
1.3 Where a third party supplier is engaged in connection with a Step In, the Service Provider shall be liable for the payment of the difference between the sums that would have been paid to the Service Provider for the provision of those Services and the sums payable to the third party supplier for performing the same for as long as the failure to perform continues (save for where the Step In is a result of a Force Majeure Event), and the Customer shall not be charged for Services that are not provided to the Customer as a result of a Force Majeure Event or the Service Provider's default or non-performance.

1.5 As soon as reasonably practicable following the restoration of the affected Customer function or the affected part of the Services (meaning that its performance is no longer substantially prevented, hindered, degraded or delayed) to the Customer's reasonable satisfaction or a Regulator lifting its Step In requirement, the Service Provider shall resume the performance of the relevant Services.
1.6 Without prejudice to the caps set out in clause 34, nothing in this clause 32 limits the Service Provider's liability to the Customer with respect to any default or non-performance by the Service Provider under this Agreement provided always that the Service Provider shall be relieved of its obligations to deliver the Services affected by any Step In during the period the Customer or any third party supplier has taken over delivery of such Services.

1.1.1.1 delay in delivery of the Services that means that the Service Provider will not be able to meet any Key Milestone date;
1.1.1.2 the degradation or unavailability of the Services which, in the Customer's opinion, is unlikely to be resolved within a reasonable period of time; or
1.1.1.3 the Customer to incur a material loss, liability or cost whether direct or indirect or to suffer any adverse publicity.

1.8 By exercising its right under this clause, the Customer shall not, and shall not be deemed to, assume any obligation to resolve any issue or problem with the Services or relieve the Service Provider of any obligation or liability in relation to that event. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this clause 33.8 shall be construed to limit the Service Provider's obligation to continue to perform the Services in accordance with all applicable Service Levels or Milestone dates.
1.9 If the Customer exercises its rights under this clause, the Parties shall carry out a monthly review to agree on whether the secondment shall continue. In any case, a secondment under this clause may be terminated by the Customer at any time by giving written notice to the Service Provider, but shall in any event cease when the secondment has been effective for a continuous period of ninety (90) days (or such longer period as may be agreed between the Parties, such agreement may not be withheld by the Service Provider where clause 33.10 applies), when both of the following conditions are satisfied:

Such cost savings shall be calculated as the difference between the baseline costs in the Pricebook (the "Baseline Costs") and the charges for equivalent volumes (calculated by reference to the original baseline volumes in the Pricebook). The following will be excluded from the charges for the purposes of this calculation: (i) any spend on Change Management Services, (ii) any incremental charges arising as a result of a change to the Agreement, and (iii) any additional costs reimbursed pursuant to clause 21.3. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject always to clause 21 (Customer Dependencies), to the extent that a cost saving is enabled by the Service Provider but the Customer does not take the necessary action to realise those savings (having agreed such actions as a Customer Dependency with the Service Provider), then the Service Provider shall have no liability with respect to the failure of the Customer to achieve such cost saving; and

The US Customer and the Bermuda Customer and any Customer Group Company that is not a party to this Agreement (including any Local Agreement, SOW or any Data Protection Model Clauses) may only recover its losses directly from the Service Provider if the UK Customer is prohibited by law from doing so. For the purposes of this clause 3,4,10, any losses suffered by any Customer Group Company that is not a party to this Agreement (including any local Agreement, SOW or any Data Protection Model Clauses) will not be treated as being indirect or consequent al in terms of this clause 34 simply because it has been suffered by that Customer Group company and not by a Customer directly.
