7.3.4 AXA RE shall have the right to request that PARIS RE perform any modification to or development of any IT System but only to the extent necessary for the provision of Services under this Agreement. AXA RE agrees to reimburse PARIS RE for all reasonable costs directly related to any such modification to or development of any IT System (other than in connection with on-going maintenance) performed by PARIS RE at such request.

SCHEDULE 4.2

CALCULATION OF FEE PAYABLE TO PARIS RE

Fees payable by AXA RE to PARIS RE in respect of Services pursuant to Section 4.2.1 shall be charged at PARIS RE’s cost.

The determination of ‘costs’ will be made based on the following principles:

1. The total costs charged shall reflect the sum of the costs of all departments determined as follows: (the “total cost of each department”) x (the “percentage of the time” of such department spent on the Services for which a remuneration is provided for pursuant to Section 4.2.1).

2. The “total cost of each department” shall mean all costs directly incurred or indirectly allocated to each department. Direct costs include, but are not limited, to the employment cost of the personnel working in the relevant department. Indirect costs include, but are not limited to, the share of the occupancy costs, IT costs and other overhead costs allocated to each department.

3. The “percentage of time” shall be calculated based on declaration of time spent by the personnel of the relevant department to provide Services that should be remunerated pursuant to Section 4.2.1. Such declared time shall then be divided by the total time worked by the personnel of the relevant department during the applicable period in order to obtain the percentage.
