terminates a Work Order or Service for convenience, Citi shall pay for any Services rendered under that Work Order until the effective date of termination and the completion of the applicable Termination Assistance Services, and those reasonable termination fees or exit fees specified in the applicable Work Order (“Exit Fees”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Co-Managed or Managed Services terminated by Citi pursuant to this Section 2.2.2(b), Citi shall only be responsible for up to fifty percent (50%) of the agreed milestone payments for Services performed prior to the effective date of termination. If no milestone payments are indicated in the applicable Work Order, then Citi shall be responsible for payment for Services properly performed up through the effective date of termination.  Citi may at any time and for its convenience terminate, with no obligation or liability to Supplier, any Work Order pursuant to which Supplier has not yet commenced performance of Services.

 

(c)                                  For Other Reasons. Upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this Section 2.2.2(c), Citi may, by giving prior written notice to Supplier and without the payment of any costs or Exit Fees, immediately terminate any Work Order or individual Service provided thereunder, as of the date specified in the notice of termination.  If Citi terminates an individual Service or Work Order under this Section 2.2.2(c), Citi may also terminate all Reasonably Related Services, and any such termination of Reasonably Related Services shall be deemed a termination pursuant to this Section 2.2.2(c) and shall not require payment of any Exit Fees.

 

(i)                                     Supplier violates Applicable Law related to the Services or the Supplier’s provision of the Services to Citi violates Applicable Law;

 

(ii)                                  A Citi Regulator recommends or requires Citi to terminate the Work Order;

 

(iii)                               Citi reasonably and in good faith believes Supplier has engaged in or engages in activity or practices, hereunder or otherwise, that may constitute (A) a violation of Applicable Law or (B) unethical or inappropriate business conduct, in each case based on facts and circumstances set forth in a notice delivered by Citi to Supplier with respect to such determination.

 

(d)                                 Termination of Reasonably Related Services. In the event that Supplier disagrees that Services provided under a given Work Order are properly classified by Citi as a Reasonably Related Service, such disagreement shall be referred to the Steering Committee for resolution and the decision of the Steering Committee in this regard shall be final and binding.

 

2.2.3                     For the avoidance of doubt, notice of termination for any Work Order shall not be construed to be notice of termination for any other Work Order.

 

2.2.4                     Supplier shall provide notice to Citi of the expiration of the then-current term of each Work Order at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the term of such Work Order.  Citi shall have the right to renew each such Work Order by providing written notice to Supplier of its desire to renew within sixty (60) days of receipt of notice of Supplier’s request to renew.  If Citi provides such notice of renewal, then the applicable Work Order shall renew following expiration of its then-current term for a renewal term equal to the then-current term.  If Citi does not provide such notice of renewal with respect to any Work Order, such Work Order shall be deemed to have automatically expired as of the end date stated therein or such other end date applicable to such Work Order.

2.2.5                     Notwithstanding the terms set forth above in this Section 2.2 (Work Orders), for New Work Orders and Existing Work Order(s), Citi may utilize a P2P Electronic Order Management and Payment System to transmit requests for such Services and final approved Work Orders for such Services to Supplier electronically.  Except for the process-oriented use of such a P2P Electronic Order Management and Payment System to initiate, transmit and approve a Work Order for such Services, all such final accepted Work Orders submitted and approved by Citi or any Citi Affiliate through a P2P Electronic Order Management and Payment System shall be governed by all relevant terms of this Master Agreement (including without limitation those related to Service Fees, Confidential Information, data protection, and Intellectual Property Rights) and shall be deemed Work Orders issued pursuant to the terms of this Master Agreement for all purposes hereunder.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement (including those of this Section 2.2.5), the Parties agree to receive electronic documents and accept electronic signatures relating to Work Orders and related invoices and other related documentation, in all cases through a P2P Electronic Order Management and Payment System and as may be agreed by the Parties from time to time.  Electronic documents and electronic signatures through a P2P Electronic Order Management and Payment System shall be a substitute for paper-based documents and signatures, and the legal validity of a transaction will not be denied on the ground that it is not in writing on paper-based hard copies.  All electronic documents shall be in the electronic format specified by Citi or implemented on Citi’s P2P Electronic Order Management and Payment System.  Any electronic documents shall be transmitted or received by the Parties in a secure manner in accordance with Citi’s security policies and procedures. Each Party agrees to treat all electronic transmissions and electronic documents as confidential and to protect all such electronic transmissions and documents from improper or unauthorized access in accordance with this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, an electronic signature means any form of digital letters, characters, or symbols, manifested by electronic or similar means, executed or adopted by a Party with an intent to authenticate a writing.  A writing is electronically signed if an electronic signature is logically associated with such writing.

 

2.3                               Orderly Transfer.

 

2.3.1                     Upon notice from Citi following the effective date of expiration or termination of a Work Order and continuing for up to twelve (12) months (“Termination Assistance Period”), Supplier will provide such information, cooperation and assistance to Citi, as Citi may reasonably request, to allow the Services to continue without interruption or adverse effect, with an orderly transition for the affected Services, and to assure an orderly return or transfer to Citi or Citi’s designee of all proprietary data (and related records and files) and materials of Citi, and all Work Product (in its then current condition) (the “Termination Assistance Services”).

 

2.3.2                     Termination Assistance Services shall include, without limitation and at no charge to Citi, Supplier provision of (i) written applicable requirements, standards, policies, operating procedures and other documentation relating to the affected Services, (ii) necessary access to the systems and Supplier Locations from which affected Services were provided, (iii) necessary access to the technical environment of Supplier’s systems used at Supplier Locations and (iv) account management services for up to three (3) months performed by Supplier’s Personnel immediately prior to the effective date of expiration or termination of the relevant Work Order. If and to the extent requested by Citi, Supplier shall assist Citi in

developing a plan that shall specify the tasks to be performed by Citi and Supplier in connection with the Termination Assistance Services and the schedule for the performance of such tasks, which plan shall be subject to approval by Citi.  All Termination Assistance Services to be provided by Supplier shall be provided pursuant to the terms and conditions agreed upon by the Parties in a Work Order.

 

2.3.3                     Supplier shall not replace any Supplier Personnel that are performing Services under a Work Order as of the date that Supplier receives notice from Citi of termination of such Work Order or the date of expiration of such Work Order until the earlier to occur of: (i) the end of the Termination Assistance Period and (ii) the grant by Citi of its consent to the release of any such Supplier Personnel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Supplier has breached the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3.3, Citi may withhold up to twenty-five (25%) of the amounts to be paid to Supplier during each month of the Termination Assistance Period until Citi has determined that Supplier has cured such breach.  Citi shall pay Supplier such withheld amounts within thirty (30) days following Citi’s determination that Supplier has cured such breach.  For the sake of clarity, it is agreed between the Parties that Citi’s right to withhold amounts specified earlier shall not be exercised if such individual ceases performance of the Termination Assistance Services due to (a) voluntary resignation from employment, (b) dismissal from employment for misconduct (e.g., fraud, drug abuse or theft), (c) removal of such individual following his or her material failure to perform obligations pursuant to this Agreement or (d) death or disability of such individual.

 

2.3.4                     At Citi’s request, Supplier also will provide Termination Assistance Services directly to an Affiliate of Citi or any other entity receiving Services under this Agreement.  If Citi appoints a third party to assume Citi’s role in relation to any or all of the Termination Assistance Services, Supplier will provide Termination Assistance Services to that third party.  Supplier will provide the Termination Assistance Services with at least the same degree of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and resource efficiency as it provided and was required to provide in connection with the same or similar Services.  The quality and level of performance of the Termination Assistance Services provided by Supplier will continue to meet or exceed the Service Levels and will not be degraded or deficient in any respect, and all Service Levels and associated Service Level Credits will still apply during this disengagement period.

 

2.3.5                     Notwithstanding Section 2.3.1, in the event that (i) Supplier terminates this Master Agreement or any Work Order for cause, (ii) Citi terminates any Work Order or Service for convenience, or (iii) this Master Agreement or any Work Order expires and is not renewed (whether expressly or automatically), Citi will pay Supplier’s rate card rates set forth in Appendix 11.1 (Schedule of Supplier’s Time and Material Rates) for Termination Assistance Services.  In the event that Citi terminates this Master Agreement, a Work Order or any Service for material breach pursuant to Sections 2.1.2(a), 2.2.2(a)(i) or 2.2.2(c), Termination Assistance Services will be provided at no additional cost to Citi.

 

2.3.6                     If Citi relinquishes control of a business unit, division, department or Affiliate after the Effective Date of this Agreement (each such entity, a “Divested Entity”), then upon Citi’s request, Supplier will continue to provide the Services to such entity after the date such entity becomes a Divested Entity for a period of time requested by Citi, which period shall be the longer of (i) two (2) years or (ii) the term of any Transition Services Agreement with the acquiring entity, at the rates and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in

this Master Agreement and the applicable Work Order(s).  Such continued Services will be seamless to the Divested Entity and its employees and shall not require any new databases, websites or telephone numbers.  If the Divested Entity agrees in writing to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then Citi will be relieved of any payment or other liability relating to the provision of Services to the Divested Entity.

 

2.4                         Retention of Archival Copy.  In the event of expiration or termination for any reason of this Master Agreement or any Work Order, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Citi shall be entitled to retain copies of Supplier Materials (and related documentation) and Supplier Confidential Information for archival purposes and to satisfy Citi’s obligations under Applicable Law.

 

3.                                      SERVICES IMPLEMENTATION

 

3.1                               No Obligation to Purchase.  This Master Agreement does not commit Citi or any Citi Affiliates to purchase any services or products.  Nor does it preclude or limit Citi or any Citi Affiliate from independently acquiring or developing competitive products or services for itself or its customers, or from providing competitive products or services to its customers, provided that such activities do not cause Citi to breach its confidentiality obligations or any licenses under this Agreement. Rather, this Master Agreement merely sets forth the terms and conditions that will govern the provision of Services or Deliverables as a result of the execution of a Work Order by Supplier and the entity designated above as Citi (or an Affiliate of Citi thereof).  Supplier may not refuse to provide any new services reasonably requested by Citi if Supplier is already providing such service or a similar service to Citi or to another Supplier customer.  The scope and commercial terms for such new services shall be negotiated in good faith by the Parties.

 

3.2                               Work Orders.  Either the entity designated above as Supplier or any Affiliate of Supplier, and either the entity designated above as Citi or any Affiliate of Citi, and any combination of the foregoing, may enter into Work Orders under this Master Agreement. The entity that executes (or is deemed to have executed) a Work Order shall be considered the “Supplier” and “Citi” (respectively) for all purposes of the Work Order, and the Work Order shall be considered a two-party agreement between those entities.  Each Work Order shall incorporate by reference the provisions of this Master Agreement as if those provisions were set forth therein in their entirety.  The entity designated on this Master Agreement as “Supplier” shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations and liabilities of any Supplier Affiliate arising under this Master Agreement and any Work Order, including arising under any breach thereof. At Citi’s discretion, Work Orders may be entered into by the Parties either: (x) by signing a document substantially in the form of a Work Order set forth in Appendix 3.2 (Form of Work Order); (y) by use of an electronic form through one of Citi’s Corporate Procurement Services’ electronic ordering application systems; or (z) a Citi NEMS. Any such electronic form generated from the use of such system shall be deemed to be a “Work Order” that is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that has been executed and accepted by both Citi and Supplier upon the issuance by Citi of that form and either Supplier’s electronic confirmation through these systems that it has accepted the Work Order or Supplier’s commencing the performance of the Services pursuant to that form.  The Work Order will be deemed to have been executed and accepted by both Citi and Supplier upon Supplier’s electronic confirmation through such system that

3.3.3                     Without limiting Supplier’s obligations under Section 22 (Compliance with Law) of this Agreement, Supplier expressly agrees that it will comply, and will cause its Personnel to comply, with the regulations and amendments thereto issued from time to time by: (i) the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Administrator of National Banks, (ii) the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, (iii) the United Kingdom Prudential Regulation Authority, (iv) The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, (v) The U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and (vi) the Monetary Authority of Singapore, in each case to the extent applicable.

3.4.2                     To the extent Citi provides Supplier with third party hardware, software, firmware or other products in connection with Supplier’s provision of Services, such materials shall be deemed Citi’s “Confidential Information” and Supplier shall not (i) use any such materials other than as necessary to provide the Services unless directed otherwise in writing by Citi, (ii) use any such materials for the benefit of any person or entity other than Citi unless directed otherwise in writing by Citi, (iii) separate or uncouple any portions of such materials, in whole or in part, from any other portions thereof, or (iv) reverse assemble, reverse engineer, translate, disassemble, decompile or otherwise attempt to create or discover any source or human readable code, underlying algorithms, ideas, file formats or programming interfaces of such materials by any means whatsoever.

3.5.5                     Supplier shall meet at least weekly (or at other mutually agreed times) with Citi to report on its progress in providing Transition Services and meeting the Transition Milestones or other timetable set forth in the Transition Plan.  Supplier shall provide written reports to Citi at least weekly regarding such matters, and shall provide oral reports more frequently if reasonably requested by Citi.  Promptly upon becoming aware of any information indicating that Supplier may not provide Transition Services in accordance with the Transition Milestones or timetable set forth in the Transition Plan, Supplier shall notify Citi of such

3.8                               Customer-Facing Services. If, in connection with providing the Services, Supplier is interacting with any individual in such individual’s capacity as a past, current or potential customer of Citi (each individual, a “Customer” and those Services, the “Customer-Facing Services”), then Supplier will additionally comply with all terms and conditions set forth in Appendix 3.8 (Additional Terms for Customer-Facing Services).

4.3.7                     Routine changes made in the ordinary course of Supplier’s provision of Services that are performed within the then-existing resources used to provide Services and that do not affect Service Levels (including changes to operating procedures, schedules and Equipment configurations) shall be made at no additional cost to Citi and without the requirement of a Change order.

 

4.3.8                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Supplier shall not, without Citi’s prior written consent, make any change, including the implementation of technological changes, that (i) causes an adverse impact on Citi, including a change that requires Citi to retrain its employees, imposes costs on Citi, or changes the methodology for calculations, or (ii) adversely affects the functions or performance of, or decreases the operational efficiency of, the Services.

 

4.3.9                     Any work that modifies the obligations of the Parties to a Work Order on an ongoing basis may require an amendment to such Work Order, or the Parties may agree that an amendment is preferable to a Change order.  If so, Supplier shall prepare a draft amendment to such Work Order setting forth the effect of the amendment on the Services, and the Service Fees payable thereunder.

4.6                               Replacement of Supplier’s Personnel.

 

4.6.1                     Supplier will immediately with notice (except with respect to Services performed by Supplier Personnel outside of India, in which case Citi shall determine, in its sole discretion, the notice period to be provided to Supplier (Personnel Replacement Notice”)) replace any individual assigned by Supplier to provide Services pursuant to a Work Order (each, a

Replaced Supplier Personnel”), and bar such individual from providing Services for Citi, if Citi notifies Supplier that the individual (i) is not compatible with Citi employees connected with the Work Order, (ii) has failed to comply with any Applicable Law or with Citi’s security or work place policies or procedures (whether or not specified herein), (iii) has failed (in Citi’s sole determination) to provide Services in a professional and competent manner, or (iv) is unacceptable to Citi for any other lawful reason.  Supplier further agrees to replace any individual assigned to provide Services pursuant to a Work Order and to bar such individual from providing Services for Citi immediately upon Supplier’s determination that the individual is unable or unwilling to provide the Services or to develop the Deliverables in a timely and professional manner.  If Supplier removes an individual from performance of Services either at the request of Citi for cause or for Supplier’s own purposes, then Supplier will (at its expense) (x) provide the training and orientation required to enable the replacement Personnel to provide Services as required and (y) provide for an overlap period of six (6) weeks, such overlap period being modifiable at Citi’s option, where both the Supplier Personnel being removed and the replacement Supplier Personnel are assigned to support the relevant Work Order (and during such overlap period, Citi shall only be responsible for the charges associated with the individual who is being replaced). Supplier shall provide replacement Staff Augmentation Personnel acceptable to Citi within thirty (30) days (or within sixty (60) days, if the Replaced Supplier Personnel performed the role of project manager or was billable to Citi at a Specialty Rate) following Supplier’s receipt of a Personnel Replacement Notice. If Supplier is unable to comply with the requirement set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Supplier agrees to pay or credit Citi the amount equivalent to the number of days on which replacement Staff Augmentation Personnel was unavailable to perform Services multiplied by the daily rate applicable to such Personnel.

 

4.6.2                     If Citi seeks, pursuant to Section 4.6.1, the removal or replacement of any Supplier Personnel for Staff Augmentation Services within the six (6) week period commencing as of the date such individual was initially assigned, Supplier shall not charge or invoice Citi for any work performed by such Supplier Personnel.  If Citi seeks, pursuant to Section 4.6.1, the removal or replacement of any Supplier Personnel Citi within the eight (8) week period commencing as of the date such individual was initially assigned, Supplier shall not charge or invoice Citi for fifty percent (50%) of the work performed by such Supplier Personnel.

 

4.6.3                     With respect to any Supplier Personnel providing Staff Augmentation Services or Co-Managed Services and any Key Personnel providing other Services, Supplier shall give Citi no less than six (6) weeks prior written notice when any Supplier Personnel providing such Services to Citi under any Work Order will cease working under such Work Order for any reason other than when the removal is directed by Citi or when such cessation is due to circumstances beyond Supplier’s control and was not reasonably foreseeable by Supplier (e.g., unplanned disability leave, death, quitting without notice), in which case Supplier will notify Citi promptly upon becoming aware of such circumstances.  Supplier will (at its expense) provide an overlap period of six (6) weeks, such overlap period being modifiable by mutual consent (including consent given via email), during which both the departing Supplier Personnel and the replacement Supplier Personnel are assigned to support the relevant Work Order (and during such overlap period, Citi shall only be responsible for the charges associated with the individual who is departing).  If such six (6) week overlap period (or any portion thereof) is not possible, Supplier shall provide a replacement Supplier

4.6.4                     Supplier shall not remove, reassign or replace an individual providing Termination Assistance Services unless (i) Supplier has received the prior written consent of Citi thereto or (ii) such individual ceases performance of the Termination Assistance Services due to (w) voluntary resignation from employment, (x) dismissal from employment for misconduct (e.g., fraud, drug abuse or theft), (y) removal of such individual following his or her material failure to perform obligations pursuant to this Agreement or (z) death or disability of such individual.  In the event of any violation of the foregoing, Citi shall be entitled to, among all other available remedies, withhold twenty five percent (25%) of the monthly fees under the relevant Work Order until such unauthorized removal is remedied.

 

4.6.5                     Except for fixed price engagements for which payment milestones are deliverables-based, Supplier shall not materially change the Onshore/Offshore mix of Supplier Personnel for the provision of a Service without Citi’s prior written approval.

 

4.7                               Key Personnel and Transferred Resources.

 

4.7.1                     Citi may designate up to thirty percent (30%) of Supplier Personnel or particular positions as key personnel for a particular Work Order (“Key Personnel”).  The initial list of names and/or positions of each of the Key Personnel for an applicable Work Order shall be set forth in such Work Order.  Citi may from time to time change and add positions designated as Key Personnel.  Supplier shall not assign Key Personnel to any project of any entity listed in Appendix 4.7.1 (Key Personnel - Restricted Entities) to provide similar services for a similar line of business of any such entity listed therein while such individual is working on the Citi account and for six (6) months after being reassigned from the Citi account, nor shall Supplier reassign Key Personnel as permitted hereunder any earlier than twenty-four (24) months from the date that such Key Personnel commenced performance of Services for Citi without the prior written consent of Citi.

 

4.7.2                     Before assigning an individual to a Key Personnel position, whether as an initial assignment or as a replacement, Supplier shall provide Citi with (i) any information regarding the individual (including a resume) that may be reasonably requested by Citi and (ii) opportunities to interview the individual as reasonably requested by Citi.  Supplier shall only assign to a Key Personnel position an individual who is pre-approved by Citi in writing.

 

4.7.3                     During the term of a Work Order or any period during which Termination Assistance Services are being performed thereunder, Supplier shall not reassign or replace, or permit the reassignment or replacement of, any Key Personnel unless (i) Supplier has received the prior written consent of Citi for such reassignment or replacement or (ii) such Key Personnel ceases performance of the Services due to (w) voluntary resignation from employment, (x) dismissal from employment for misconduct (e.g., fraud, drug abuse or theft), (y) removal of such Key Personnel following his or her material failure to perform obligations pursuant to this Agreement or (z) death or disability of such Key Personnel.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in the Agreement, the restriction against reassignment or replacement of Key Personnel set out in the previous sentence shall be only for a maximum period of twenty four (24) months commencing from the start date of such Key Personnel’s engagement in the applicable Work Order, including Key

Personnel engaged to perform Transition Services.  The prior written consent of Citi referenced in this Section 4.7.3 with respect to each Key Personnel, may be withheld by Citi in its sole and absolute discretion if such requested reassignment or replacement would occur during the first eighteen (18) months of such Key Personnel’s engagement in the applicable Work Order, but such consent with respect to such Key Personnel shall not be unreasonably withheld thereafter during the remaining term of the Work Order. Supplier shall have in place at all times a retention plan applicable to Key Personnel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 27, in the event of any termination (voluntary or otherwise) of any Key Personnel from employment with Supplier, Citi may interview and hire such individual.

 

4.7.4                     If Citi decides, in its sole discretion, that any Key Personnel should not continue in that position, then Citi may request removal of that individual. Supplier shall promptly replace that individual pursuant to Section 4.7.2 above.  If Supplier is unable to replace such Key Personnel with an individual approved by Citi (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld) and there is significant impact on the Services, and Citi had reasonable grounds to request removal of the individual, then Supplier’s inability to replace such individual shall constitute a material breach of the applicable Work Order.

 

4.7.5                     Supplier acknowledges that Citi may have critical knowledge vested among Citi employees currently deployed within the Citi locations.  In order to carry out an effective transition of knowledge and requirements with respect to certain Services or Work Orders, it may be necessary for Supplier to offer employment to such Citi employees (“Transferred Resources”).  Where and when such a requirement becomes necessary, the Parties will discuss and mutually agree on the number of such Citi employees to whom Supplier may make offer of employment.  The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith written terms to carry out such a transition, based upon the following minimum requirements:  (i) Supplier will not terminate the employment of a Transferred Resource for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective transfer date applicable to the respective Transferred Resource, except for cause or unless Citi otherwise agrees in writing, (ii) Supplier shall make its offer of employment on terms that Supplier normally would make under its hiring practices, including any requirement for relocation based on Supplier’s business requirements as a global service provider and consistent with Supplier’s technical solutions offered to Citi, (iii) Supplier will offer salary and benefits at a level which, taken as a whole, will not be less favorable to the Transferred Resource than what they were receiving from Citi or a Citi Affiliate in the twelve (12) months preceding their transition to Supplier, and effective from the Transferred Resource’s employment effective date with Supplier, Supplier shall become responsible for such Transferred Resource’s salary and benefits, and (iv) the Parties will agree rates that Supplier will be entitled to charge Citi for such Transferred Resources. Citi and Supplier agree that, subject to the requirements set forth above, all such Transferred Resources will remain “at will” employees from the perspective of the individuals concerned.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 4.7.5 shall constitute a limited exception to the obligations assumed by Supplier under Section 27 (Soliciting for Hire) of this Agreement, which obligations shall not be deemed to have been waived hereby.

 

4.8                               Employee Attrition.  Supplier shall, at all times, have in place measures reasonably designed to maintain its employee attrition rate at a level consistent with general industry standards for providers of services similar to the Services.  Citi may reasonably request, and Supplier shall provide to Citi upon such request, information reasonably related to

employee attrition in connection with Supplier’s provision of Services under this Agreement.  For any Staff Augmentation Services or Co-Managed Services, any Supplier Personnel leaving the Citi account prior to having serviced Citi’s account for less than twenty-four (24) months will be considered unplanned attrition.

 

4.9                               Identification Information.  Supplier shall provide a valid social security number or unique tax ID or equivalent identification number for any Supplier Personnel assigned to a Work Order and working at a Citi Location or requiring access to a Citi system.

Supplier shall reimburse Citi for any incremental expense incurred by Citi as a result of a Supplier-initiated relocation to a new Service Location or Citi Location.

 

4.10.2              Supplier shall provide a dedicated secure area at each Service Location in which only Services for Citi and applicable Citi Affiliates will be performed, and Supplier shall not provide any Services from any other area without the specific prior written approval of Citi.

 

4.10.3              Supplier will have operational, administrative, financial, and maintenance responsibility for all hardware, software and other Equipment used or provided by Supplier (including, without limitation, upgrades, replacements, additions, and refreshes) and Service Locations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Supplier will provide all standard desktop computer hardware and software necessary for Supplier to provide the Services from the Service Locations, consistent with then-current industry standards.  All standard desktop hardware and software used for personnel collaboration and productivity such as Windows 7 and/or Office 2010, email clients, etc. will be provided by Supplier for work performed from a Supplier Offshore location.  Supplier’s purchase of technology for purposes of servicing Citi’s account shall comply with Citi’s then-current technology purchasing guidelines, which shall be provided by Citi to Supplier from time to time in writing.  For a specific Work Order, Citi will supply any custom Hardware or Software needed for project execution or if Supplier procures the same, it shall be invoiced to Citi based on actuals with Citi’s request and approval.

4.10.5              At Supplier’s expense, each Service Location from which Services are provided shall comply with the policies and procedures and other requirements described in Section 5.1 (Policies and Procedures) (including, without limitation, all policies and procedures and other requirements regarding (i) secure floor space and (ii) hardware/software refresh cycles).  To the extent any Upgrades are made to Citi’s Systems in order to keep such systems generally current with those of other leading financial institutions or in order to receive services from other leading service providers, any corresponding Upgrades to hardware, software or other Equipment used by Supplier to provide the Services shall be done at Supplier’s sole expense, irrespective of any agreed upon refresh cycles.  Any Upgrades to hardware, software or other Equipment used by Supplier to provide the Services that are necessitated by Upgrades to Citi’s Systems shall be made at Citi’s cost.  The cost of any Upgrades to be performed at Citi’s expense shall be invoiced to Citi on a pass-through basis without markup.

 

4.10.6              Disaster Recovery Plan. Supplier shall have an actionable Continuity of Business Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan in place for each Service Location for the continuation of business (and provide evidence of its current and periodic testing if requested by Citi) so that despite any disruption in Supplier’s ability to provide the Services or to perform its other obligations hereunder from any particular Service Location or through the efforts of any particular Personnel, Supplier will promptly be able to provide the Services and perform its obligations from an alternate location or with replacement Personnel. Supplier shall ensure that such plans satisfy and remain in compliance at all times with Citi’s business continuity standards that are provided or made available by Citi to Supplier.  Supplier’s Continuity of Business Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan, including test results, shall be subject to review by Citi.  Supplier will include in the Disaster Recovery Plan written instructions or other information necessary for Citi to continue to receive Services from Supplier under circumstances where Supplier has had to invoke its Disaster Recovery Plan.  Supplier shall provide a copy of the Disaster Recovery Plan to Citi within ten (10) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, and annually thereafter.  Without limiting the foregoing, Supplier’s Disaster Recovery Plan and related processes and controls will include, at a minimum, annual testing, as well as a process to promptly notify Supplier’s customers in the event any Disaster Recovery Plan or related processes or controls must be put into effect.  Supplier will ensure that any Subcontractor of Supplier maintains a Disaster Recovery Plan and related processes and controls that apply to Supplier to the same extent as Supplier’s Disaster Recovery Plan applies to Citi.    If requested by Citi or Citi’s Affiliates, Supplier will participate, at no cost or charge to Citi, in Citi’s disaster recovery exercises. If any data or other electronic information or materials related to the conduct of work under this Agreement is in Supplier’s possession or control, Supplier shall perform periodic backup of all such data or other electronic information or materials in compliance with Citi procedures specified in writing to Supplier and industry standards where not specified, which backup shall be stored securely to facilitate disaster recovery.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, at Citi’s request, and upon reasonable notice, Supplier shall provide Citi with such information regarding the Supplier Continuity of Business Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan as Citi reasonably deems necessary.  Supplier shall thereafter keep Citi informed of any material alterations to Supplier’s Continuity of Business Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan.

conditioned), via high speed data link(s) (each, a “Data Link”) with appropriate bandwidth as reasonably required in accordance with the requirements of this Section.  Unless otherwise agreed to by Citi and Supplier in writing, the cost of this and additional Data Link(s) will be borne by Supplier.  The cost of any network demark Equipment (e.g., routers) that needs to be installed at such premises and the last mile connectivity (up to Citi’s firewall) will be borne by Supplier.  The cost of any Equipment behind any such firewall will be borne by Citi.

 

4.11.2              Supplier will provide no less often than quarterly reports to Citi detailing data, voice and video usage originating to and from each Service Location.

 

4.11.3              Supplier shall ensure redundancy on the last mile circuits (no single point of failure) between Supplier’s and Citi’s networks.

 

4.11.4              Usage of Data Links must not exceed an average of seventy percent (70%) of available bandwidth over a sixty (60) minute time period over a ten (10) hour day for normal use.  Occasional file transfer requirements are exempt from this.  Citi will provide assistance in measuring the Data Link utilization.  In a calendar month if in seventy percent (70%) of the samples the Data Link utilization exceeds seventy percent (70%), Supplier must promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the end of such month, share the upgrade plans for the Data Link(s) with Citi and, upon mutual agreement of Citi and Supplier, Supplier will initiate necessary actions to reduce future Data Link utilization.  Supplier must complete implementation of such plan within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the mutual agreement of Citi and Supplier on such upgrade plan.

4.12                        Co-Location Space.  At Citi’s sole discretion, Supplier agrees to make available at no cost to Citi, adequate office space, internet access, and telephones (“Ready Desks”), for any Citi Personnel visiting the Service Location on a short-term basis for purposes such as audits and meetings.  Further, upon Citi’s request, Supplier will make available, at no cost to Citi, Ready Desks facilities for the number of Citi’s Personnel equal up to five percent (5%) of the total number of Supplier Personnel working at the applicable Supplier facility for Citi at that time, and to Citi Personnel performing work on a long term basis with the Supplier Personnel in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation any work in connection with Section 2.3 (Orderly Transfer) of this Agreement.  Citi will be responsible for compliance with all employment-related Applicable Laws and payroll withholding taxes and other Regulatory requirements with respect to Citi Personnel assigned to work at Supplier’s facilities.  Supplier shall ensure that none of these Citi Personnel are actively involved in managing, assigning or directing the day to day activities of Supplier, and Supplier will immediately alert Citi’s Program Manager if Supplier becomes aware of such a situation. In the event that the requirement for such Ready Desks is greater than [***] percent [****] of the total number of Supplier Personnel working for Citi at that time, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the terms under which the excess requirement will be covered.

Upon reasonable notice from Supplier, Citi will discuss such relocation in good faith. If the provision of Services from another Supplier site does not remediate the risk or exposure that was the basis of the Required Relocation Event or another Supplier site does not have the capacity required to be able to assume the Services to be relocated, then Supplier may discuss an alternate course of action with Citi and only if the suggested alternate course of action is not acceptable to Citi, Citi may terminate all or part of the affected Services without payment of any Exit Fees.

 

4.14                        Requested Relocation Events.  If, in Citi’s reasonable determination, at any time during the Term or any period during which Termination Assistance Services are being performed, Citi determines for any other reason (other than a Required Relocation Event) to relocate the applicable Services from the applicable Non-U.S. Locations (hereinafter referred to as the “Requested Relocation Event(s)”), Citi will have the right, exercisable by delivering written notice to Supplier, at Citi’s cost, to require Supplier to relocate the applicable Services from the applicable Non-U.S. Locations to another site providing services similar to the applicable Services within another country that is reasonably acceptable to Citi (provided that the provision of Services from such site will remediate the risk or exposure that was the basis of the Requested Relocation Event).  Such relocation will be accomplished as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances with a view to avoiding any non-compliance with Applicable Law. Upon reasonable notice from Supplier, Citi will discuss such relocation in good faith. If the provision of Services from another Supplier site does not remediate the risk or exposure that was the basis of the Requested Relocation Event or another Supplier site does not have the capacity required to be able to assume the Services to be relocated, then Supplier may discuss an alternate course of action with Citi and/or Citi may terminate all or part of the affected Services, subject to payment of any Exit Fees.

 

4.15                        Extension to Suppliers. Supplier will cooperate with Citi to identify opportunities for Citi to reduce the cost of obtaining technology from their suppliers.  Towards this end, Supplier agrees that, at the request of Citi, Supplier will provide services in connection with Citi’s procurement of software/systems from Citi’s suppliers, and related integration, implementation or customization Services.  Any amounts paid by Citi or its suppliers for services provided by Supplier pursuant to a work order or other agreement entered into

4.19                        Notice of Inability to Carry Out Services.  Supplier shall immediately notify Citi of any (i) development affecting Supplier or any of its Affiliates that could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on Supplier’s ability to carry out the Services effectively and, to Supplier’s knowledge, in compliance with Applicable Law, and (ii) error in the performance of a Service that, if not corrected, is reasonably likely to lead to a breach of this Agreement or the applicable Work Order, in each case, even if such development or error did not cause Supplier to fail to provide such Service in accordance with a Service Level.

5.1                               General.  Supplier will comply and ensure that its Personnel and Supplier’s own security and workplace policies and procedures comply with (i) Citi’s security and privacy policies (including without limitation its information security standards and those standards referenced in Section 5.2), (ii) Citi’s work place policies and procedures in effect for any facility of Citi or a Citi Affiliate where the Services are provided, and (iii) policies, procedures and guidelines (including Citi’s Code of Conduct) promulgated by Citi or a Citi Affiliate that are designed to adhere to Applicable Law or designed to address Regulatory issues, and (iv) any other Citi policies provided by Citi to Supplier in writing which are applicable to the Services provided by Supplier (collectively, “Citi Policies”).  In the event of any conflict between the obligations of Supplier under this Agreement or under any Citi Policy, Supplier shall comply with the more restrictive obligation(s).  Supplier will ensure that all Services are provided in a manner that will minimize any interference with Citi’s or its Affiliates’ normal business operations.  In addition, Supplier shall inform Citi in writing within twenty-four (24) hours whenever any of its Personnel who are engaged in performing Services stop performing such Services, for any reason.  Supplier shall make all reasonable efforts to obtain from such Personnel any ID’s, system access cards, or any other privileges assigned to them by Citi, which remain the sole property of Citi at all times, and return them to Citi within five (5) Business Days after such Personnel stop performing Services.

5.4                               Equipment and Network Security.  Logs generated on servers and other devices (including, without limitation, firewall, IDS, and authentication systems) shall be retained by Supplier for at least 180 days. If access to Citi’s Systems is required in order for Supplier to fulfill its obligations to Citi, then Citi shall determine the nature and extent of such access. If Citi or any of its Affiliates provides Supplier with access to Citi’s Systems, then (i) any and all information relating to such access shall be considered Citi’s Confidential Information and shall be subject to the obligations of confidentiality set forth in Section 13 (Confidential Information) herein and (ii) Supplier shall comply with any instructions from Citi or its Affiliates related to such access.  Supplier will not download, install or access any software application on Citi’s Systems without Citi’s prior written permission.  In addition, any and all access to Citi’s Systems shall be subject to the following.

 

5.4.1                     Citi’s Systems shall be used solely to provide Services for Citi, and not for any other purpose.

5.4.7                     A material failure by Supplier or Supplier’s Personnel to comply with the provisions of this Section shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

 

5.5                               Deliverable Guidelines.  Supplier will ensure that all Deliverables comply with Citi’s branding, design, usability and security guidelines that are provided by Citi to Supplier.  If a Deliverable fails to satisfy the applicable requirements, then Supplier will be responsible for correcting any omissions or deviations at its expense.

replicate all applicable executables and data files, using only such materials together with commercially available off-the-shelf tools and components.

 

5.6                               Substance Abuse.  Supplier will ensure that its Personnel who are natural persons and are assigned to provide Services to Citi do not sell, distribute, transfer, manufacture, process, possess, use or report to duty under the influence of illegal drugs or misuse alcohol or legal drugs within Citi’s facilities, on Citi’s property, or during the provision of Services for Citi.  Citi may require Supplier Personnel be tested (at Supplier’s expense) for illegal drugs or misuse of alcohol or legal drugs, as a condition of providing Services to Citi.  If any such Supplier Personnel refuses to submit to the test or if any such Personnel’s test results are positive for illegal drugs or the misuse of alcohol or legal drugs or otherwise unsatisfactory to Citi, Supplier agrees (i) to promptly remove such Supplier Personnel from any assignment with Citi or its Affiliates under this Agreement or any other agreement between Supplier (or its Affiliates) and Citi (or its Affiliates) and (ii) that such Personnel will not be assigned to provide Services to Citi or its Affiliates thereafter.  Citi, at its sole discretion, may alter the type and method of testing at any time.

Citi may require Supplier’s Personnel to complete and successfully pass a criminal background check (that may include fingerprinting), as a condition of providing Services for Citi.  Each criminal background check will be subject to Citi’s standards and be conducted at Supplier’s expense. If a criminal background check on one of Supplier’s Personnel is conducted by or on behalf of Supplier (and not by Citi or Citi’s designee), then Supplier will provide written evidence of the criminal background check performed and the results thereof, upon Citi’s request.

 

5.8                               Working Hours.  Unless specified in an applicable Work Order, Supplier’s Personnel will observe the working hours, work rules and holiday schedule of Citi when working on Citi’s facilities, unless otherwise directed or agreed by Citi.  The adherence by Supplier’s Personnel to such working hours, work rules and holiday schedules shall not justify any failure by Supplier to comply with agreed upon schedules and deadlines.  Supplier acknowledges that Citi’s normal, professional workday consists of a minimum of eight (8) working hours, exclusive of time required for personal breaks and meals.

 

5.9                               Diversity Initiative.  Supplier acknowledges that Citi has implemented a Supplier Diversity Program, which, among other initiatives, encourages the use of minority and women, disabled and veteran-owned small businesses as suppliers and subcontractors (“Diverse Suppliers”) to the fullest extent possible.  To assist Citi in complying with these goals, Supplier will, consistent with its other obligations hereunder and to the extent it is using Subcontractors or otherwise purchasing goods or services in connection with Supplier’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, make good faith efforts to allocate not less than fifteen percent (15%) of the amount Supplier is spending with respect to its Subcontractors towards goods and services sourced from Diverse Suppliers.  On an ongoing basis, Supplier will identify the efforts to be undertaken to achieve this goal, and any procurement opportunities that may exist relating to this Agreement that may be purchased from Diverse Suppliers.  Supplier will provide Citi with information relating to Supplier’s expenditures, either direct or indirect, with Diverse Suppliers by completing a “Diversity

6.                                      ACCEPTANCE OF DELIVERABLES AND PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES

 

6.1                               Acceptance Test.  After a Deliverable has been provided to Citi, or during the performance of the Transition Services or otherwise prior to the go-live date of a Service to be provided to Citi, Citi (or its designee) will be entitled to test the Deliverable or Service to determine if it operates in accordance with, and otherwise conforms to, the Acceptance Criteria.  Supplier will provide (at no additional cost to Citi) such assistance as Citi may reasonably require to conduct the acceptance testing.  Unless otherwise specified on the Work Order, Citi will have ninety (90) days from the date the Deliverable is received by Citi or the Service is made available to Citi, as applicable, to conduct acceptance testing, and may use its own internal test procedures.

 

6.2                               Acceptance or Rejection. If Citi determines that a Deliverable or Service successfully operates in accordance with, and otherwise conforms to, the Acceptance Criteria, then Citi will notify Supplier that Citi accepts the Deliverable or the Service, as applicable.  If Citi determines that a Deliverable or Service does not operate in accordance with, or otherwise conform to, the applicable Acceptance Criteria, then Citi will provide Supplier with a notice describing the Defect.  Supplier will have ten (10) Business Days from the date it receives Citi’s notice of Defect to correct (at no additional cost to Citi) the Deliverable or Service.  If Supplier delivers a corrected version of the Deliverable or Service, then Citi will be entitled to repeat the testing process.  If (through no fault of Citi) Supplier fails to deliver, within the ten (10) Business Day period, a version of the Deliverable or Service that conforms to the Acceptance Criteria, then Citi may reject the Deliverable or Service and terminate the applicable Work Order (in whole or in part) upon notice to Supplier, with no payment of Exit Fees.  If, within ninety (90) days from the submission of such Deliverable or Service for testing, or such other period specified in the relevant Work Order, Citi does not communicate the notice of acceptance or Defect with respect to such Deliverable or Service, then the Deliverable or Service, as applicable, will be deemed Accepted by Citi.  Acceptance of a Deliverable or Service shall not constitute a waiver by Citi of any rights it may have based on Supplier’s warranties.

 

6.3                               Completion of Delivery of Services and Deliverables.  Delivery of all Deliverables or Services under a Work Order shall be deemed to have been satisfactorily completed only upon Citi’s Acceptance of all Services or Deliverables.  If (through no fault of Citi) all of the Services and Deliverables have not been provided in an acceptable manner by the date set forth on the Work Order as the “Completion Date”, Citi may terminate the Work Order (in whole or in part) upon notice to Supplier, with no payment of Exit Fees.

6.4.4                     In providing ADM Services, Supplier must (i) adhere to all guiding principles as specified in the ADM Services Standards document attached hereto as Appendix 6.4.4 (ADM Services Standards), and any updates thereto provided by Citi from time to time and (ii) perform such Services at least at CMMI Level 5 at all Service Locations and at all Citi Locations, provided that in the event of a conflict between the ADM Services Standards and the requirements of CMMI Level 5, the provisions of the ADM Services Standards shall control.  Failure to comply with this Section 6.4.4 shall be deemed a material breach of the applicable Work Order.

 

6.5                               Cooperation with Citi Vendors.

the then-current Appendix 11.1 (Schedule of Supplier’s Time and Material Rates) and any other rates used to set Service Fees (the “Rate Card Benchmarking”), the cost of which will be paid by Citi.  From time to time, at Citi’s request, Citi will engage the Benchmarker to benchmark the Service Fees, Billing Units and Service Levels associated with a defined set of the Services (a “Services Benchmarking” and, together with the Rate Card Benchmarking, a “Benchmarking”).  Any Benchmarker shall not be, or be wholly owned or controlled by, a competitor, or an affiliate of a competitor, of Supplier.  The Parties will agree to a list of acceptable Benchmarkers from which Citi shall select, subject to the consent of Supplier (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), a Benchmarker to perform the Benchmarking.  The Benchmarker will be required to enter into customary confidentiality agreements with both Supplier and Citi, and all results of the benchmark and materials created pursuant to the benchmark shall be Confidential Material of Citi and Supplier, and shall only be used in connection with this Agreement or, in the case of both Citi and Supplier, for their own internal evaluation of similar agreements with third parties.

 

8.2                               The Benchmarker shall perform the benchmarking in accordance with the Benchmarker’s reasonable documented procedures, which shall be provided to the Parties prior to the start of the benchmarking process.  For any Rate Card Benchmarking, the Benchmarker shall compare the rates in the then-current Appendix 11.1 (Schedule of Supplier’s Time and Material Rates) and any other rates used to set Service Fees based on the location of the Supplier Personnel, the role of such Personnel, and whether they have any Specialty Skills, with the rates, based on comparable geographies, comparable roles and comparable skills, offered by Comparable Vendors to similarly situated customers, in terms of industry.  For any Services Benchmarking, the Benchmarker shall compare the Service Fees, Billing Units, Service Levels and other aspects of the Services (e.g., type of service, geography, volume, onsite-offshore resource ratio, term) under this Agreement, a Work Order or a series of related Work Orders, to the fees, service levels and other aspects of offerings (e.g., type of service, geography, volume, onsite-offshore resource ratio, term) of a like mix of amounts and types of the same services offered by Comparable Vendors to similarly situated customers, in terms of industry and geography to which the applicable services are provided.  “Comparable Vendors” shall mean suppliers of ADM Services mutually agreed between the Parties, as applicable with reputation substantially similar to that of Supplier Company. In the event of any disagreement between the Parties as to whether any such supplier is a Comparable Vendor, the same shall be referred to the Steering Committee for resolution, whose decision shall be final and binding.  The Benchmarker will conduct the benchmarking in a reasonably prompt manner.

 

8.3                               Each Party shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review, comment on and request changes to the Benchmarker’s findings. Following such review and comment, the Benchmarker shall issue and deliver to each Party: (a) in the case of a Rate Card Benchmarking, a final report of its findings and conclusions, including any differences between the rates in the then-current Appendix 11.1 (Schedule of Supplier’s Time and Material Rates) and any other rates used to set Service Fees with those offered by the Comparable Vendors for comparable geographies, comparable roles and comparable skills or, (b) in the case of a Services Benchmarking, a final report of its findings and conclusions, including any differences between the Service Fees, Billing Units and Service Levels and those offered by the Comparable Vendors (the final report under clause (a) or (b), the “Benchmarking Report”).

8.4                               Following the Parties’ receipt of a Rate Card Benchmarking Report, if any material difference exists between the rates in the then-current Appendix 11.1 (Schedule of Supplier’s Time and Material Rates) and any other rates used to set Service Fees, on the one hand, and those offered by the Comparable Vendors for comparable geographies, comparable roles and comparable skills, on the other, the Steering Committee will discuss the results and agree upon an equitable adjustment to Appendix 11.1 (Schedule of Supplier’s Time and Material Rates) and to any other rates used to set Service Fees.  Factors that the committee will consider include:  currency movements; various inflation indices; and relationship issues affecting pricing.  The committee shall agree upon adjustments, if any, in a timely manner so that such adjustments can be effectuated on the first day of the first quarter following, by at least thirty (30) days, the completion of the Rate Card Benchmarking Report.

 

8.5                               Following the Parties’ receipt of a Services Benchmarking Report, if any difference exists between the Service Levels offered or Service Fees and billing Units charged by Supplier in connection with the Services, and the service levels offered or service fees charged by the Comparable Vendors, such that adjusting for such difference would represent either a material change in the applicable Service Levels, the applicable Service Fees, or the applicable Billing Units, the Steering Committee will discuss the results and agree upon an equitable adjustment to applicable Service Levels, the applicable Service Fees and/or the applicable Billing Units.  Factors that the committee will consider include:  currency movements; quality of resources engaged from Supplier; productivity of Supplier; various inflation indices; and relationship issues affecting pricing.  The committee shall agree upon adjustments, if any, in a timely manner so that such adjustments can be effectuated on the first day of the first quarter following, by at least thirty (30) days, the completion of the Services Benchmarking Report.

 

8.6                               If, for any reason, there are any disputes related to Benchmarking that remain unresolved within a reasonable time period following escalation to senior management pursuant to Section 23 (Choice of Law and Dispute Resolution) of the Agreement, then the Citi may elect, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Work Order(s) to which the benchmarked rates, Service Levels, Service Fees or Billing Units apply, with such termination pursuant to Section 2.2.2(b) (For Convenience) of the Agreement.

 

9.                                      PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

 

9.1                               Rights to Property Covered Under Separate Agreement With Citi.  The Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to any of Supplier’s proprietary software, any third party software, or any other intellectual property that Citi has licensed (or agrees to license) under a separate, duly signed, written agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the applicable agreement and shall not be included within the meaning of the phrase “Supplier Materials”, as defined in Section 9.2.

 

9.2                               Supplier Materials.  Citi acknowledges that in developing or providing the Services, a Deliverable, or any other Work Product, Supplier may utilize pre-existing proprietary methodologies, tools, models, software, procedures, documentation, know-how and processes owned by Supplier (“Supplier Materials”).  If any Supplier Materials are incorporated into a Deliverable or provided in conjunction with the Services, a Deliverable, or any other Work Product, Supplier will so notify Citi, and Supplier will be conclusively

deemed to have (at no additional cost) granted to Citi and its Affiliates a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license (i) to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, distribute, and prepare derivative works of Supplier Materials in conjunction with the use of the Services, Deliverable or other Work Product, and (ii) to authorize or sublicense others from time to time to do any or all of the foregoing.  If the performance of a Deliverable can be impaired as a result of a defect or malfunction in Supplier Materials, then Supplier will provide (at no additional cost) Citi with the means for correcting any such defect or malfunction.

 

9.3                               Third Party Intellectual Property.  If Supplier intends to provide the Services or develop a Deliverable or other Work Product in a manner that requires Citi to use any software or other intellectual property of a third party (“Third Party Materials”) in order to use such Services, Deliverable, or other Work Product, then Supplier will (i) provide Citi with prior notice, specifying in reasonable detail, the nature of the dependency on the Third Party Materials and its owner, and (ii) arrange for Citi to obtain (for no additional cost or on such terms as may be acceptable to Citi) a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive right and license to use the Third Party Materials in connection with Citi’s or its Affiliates’ use of the Services, Deliverables or other Work Product.  Supplier agrees that it will not commence work on (or invoice Citi for any fees related to) any such Services, Deliverable or other Work Product until Citi notifies Supplier that Citi has obtained such rights in or to the Third Party Materials as Citi deems to be necessary and sufficient to enable Citi to use the Services, Deliverables or other Work Product as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

9.4                               Work Product.  Subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3, all Work Product resulting from the Services shall be the property of Citi and all Intellectual Property Rights in and to such Work Product shall vest exclusively in Citi to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law.  Towards that end, Supplier agrees to maintain adequate and current records of all pertinent information and data (including notes, sketches, drawings, etc.) relating to all Work Product and to deliver such records to Citi upon Citi’s request, and Supplier will assist Citi in every proper way that may be reasonably required to secure for Citi the exclusive ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Work Product that Citi is entitled to own pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including executing all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which Citi shall deem necessary in order to obtain and secure the Intellectual Property Rights in and to such Work Product.  All Work Product that Citi is entitled to own pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be marked as follows: “© (year) by (Legal name of Citi or Citi Affiliate). All rights reserved”, and if any such Work Product is software, Supplier will program such software to display the foregoing legend in the opening screens produced at the initiation of any session in which such software may be accessed by a video-graphic device, as well as on such reports and print pages.

 

9.5                               Assignment of Rights to Work Product.  Supplier acknowledges that neither Supplier nor its Personnel will retain any Intellectual Property Rights in the Work Product beyond those rights expressly designated in this Section 9.  To the extent any Intellectual Property Rights to any Work Product (for any reason whatsoever) do not vest in Citi by virtue of the terms of this Agreement, Supplier hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns, transfers and conveys to Citi (or its designee) all such Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Work Product, and Supplier further hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (if subsequently required in order to fulfill the purposes of this Section) to assign, transfer and convey (or to cause its Personnel to assign, transfer and convey) exclusively to Citi (or its

information requests by Citi’s Audit Personnel, as applicable; provided that Citi will permit Supplier the opportunity to deliver any information required by Citi prior to Citi carrying out any audit hereunder, which may render an audit visit unnecessary.  Supplier shall also ensure that all Subcontractors will provide Citi’s Audit Personnel effective access to their premises, employees, and documentation as is reasonable to fully and promptly carry out each audit.

 

14.2.3              Subcontractor Audits, Records and Information.  Except with respect to contracts with Subcontractors retained by Supplier solely to perform the activities described in Section 19.4 (Excluded Activities) below (and not to provide any Services or other activities contemplated under this Agreement or any Work Order), Supplier shall ensure that its contracts with its Subcontractors include provisions that permit Citi and its Regulators to have reasonable access to the books and records of each Subcontractor, as well as the right to perform audits of said Subcontractors under the same terms and conditions as described in Section 14.2 (Audits).  Furthermore, Supplier will conduct regular audits of its Subcontractors no less frequently than once in each rolling 12-month period to ensure that each Subcontractor is in full compliance with the obligations and responsibilities of Supplier as contemplated in this Agreement and in any Work Order under which a Subcontractor is being used by Supplier.  Supplier will provide Citi with written certification promptly after its completion of each audit required pursuant to this Section and each certification will either confirm that the Subcontractor is in full compliance or identify any and all non-compliance by the Subcontractor.  Upon Citi’s request, Supplier will provide Citi with a copy of the results of each Subcontractor audit.

14.3                        Audit Results.

 

14.3.1              Following any audit or examination, Supplier will, upon Citi’s request, meet with Citi to review the audit or examination report and discuss any changes suggested by the report.  If Citi’s audit or examination identifies a bona fide problem that, in Citi’s reasonable opinion, presents a material risk of breach of Supplier’s obligations (including its representations) under this Agreement, then, at Citi’s request, Supplier shall promptly correct such problem at Supplier’s cost and expense.

 

14.3.2              If Citi’s exercise of its rights under this Section 14 results in audit findings that any Service Fees have been overpaid by Citi, then upon receiving notice of such audit findings, the appropriate reduction will be made to the next applicable invoice(s).  If such audit findings show that Citi overpaid Service Fees by five percent (5%) or greater, Supplier shall bear any commercially reasonable costs associated with such audit.

 

14.4                        Sarbanes Oxley.  At all times during the Term and continuing thereafter until the later of the completion of the audit of Citi’s financial statements or the completion and filing of Citi’s annual report, in each case for the fiscal year during which this Agreement expires and/or terminates (the “Compliance Period”), subject to Section 14.2 (Audit), Supplier shall, and shall cause any Supplier Affiliates or Subcontractors providing Services hereunder to enable Supplier to:

 

(a)                                 provide Citi with a Type II SSAE-16 SOC-1 report, to enable Citi to comply with its obligations under the Sarbanes Oxley Act; and

16.1.3              If Citi is prohibited from using the Services or Work Product, or any part thereof, as a result of, or in connection with, any claim or cause of action contemplated by the indemnity set forth in Section 16.1.1, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies Citi may have, at law or in equity, Citi may permit Supplier to promptly take the following actions, at Supplier’s sole expense and in the following order of precedence: (i) procure for Citi the right to continue using the infringing item, or (ii) modify the infringing item so that it becomes non-infringing or replace the infringing item with a non-infringing item, provided that the non-infringing item: (x) has equivalent functionality and performance as the infringing item, (y) yields substantially equivalent results as the infringing item, and (z) is compatible with Citi’s existing operating system and hardware platforms.  If, within a reasonable period of time, Supplier has not so procured the non-infringing item, or modified or replaced the infringing item, Citi may, by notice to Supplier, terminate the applicable Work Order, in whole or in part, without payment of any Exit Fees, and return the infringing item to Supplier, and Supplier shall promptly refund to Citi all amounts paid under the terminated Work Order, or the portion of such amount attributable to the terminated portion thereof, as the case may be.

Supplier Affiliate, or if a Supplier Affiliate is a party to a Work Order, such Affiliate shall be treated as the “Supplier” with respect to such Work Order.  Polaris Consulting & Services Ltd shall ensure the performance of all of such Supplier Affiliate’s obligations hereunder, and shall accept liability for any and all acts or omissions of such Affiliate, as though such obligations, acts and omissions were those of Polaris Consulting & Services Ltd.  In the event of any failure by such Supplier Affiliate to perform its obligations hereunder, or any acts or omissions giving rise to a claim, Polaris Consulting & Services Ltd agrees that Citi may look to Polaris Consulting & Services Ltd for recourse before making, and without having to make, any demand to such Affiliate in connection with any such failure or claim.  In providing Services under a Work Order, such Supplier Affiliate shall comply with all of Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement, including those set forth in Sections 4.10.6 (Continuity of Business and Disaster Recovery Plans), 5.1 (Policies and Procedures), 5.4 (Equipment and Network Security), 13 (Confidential Information) and 22 (Compliance with Law).

Supplier will be fully responsible for all acts and omissions of its Subcontractors and for any failure of its Subcontractors to comply with all applicable obligations and responsibilities of Supplier under this Agreement and any applicable Work Orders.  If Supplier is permitted to utilize a Subcontractor to perform any obligations under this Agreement, Supplier shall (i) enter into agreements with any such Subcontractors to ensure that (a) Subcontractors are obligated to fully uphold and comply with the same obligations and responsibilities as Supplier under this Agreement and any applicable Work Orders, including those under Sections 5 (Policies and Procedures), 9 (Proprietary Rights), 13 (Confidential Information), 15 (Publicity), 22 (Compliance with Law) and 27 (Soliciting for Hire) and (b) the same rights that Citi has with respect to Supplier under this Agreement and any applicable Work Orders have been secured from each Subcontractor and (ii) monitor its Subcontractors’ performance of any obligations under this Agreement or any Work Order and report to Citi on such performance as required by Citi policies or as Citi may request.  Supplier shall identify each Subcontractor on the applicable Work Order in which Supplier intends to use that Subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any contractual relationship between Citi and any Subcontractor, nor any obligation on the part of Citi, to pay or to ensure the payment of any money due to any Subcontractor.

 

19.3                        Removal of a Subcontractor.  Citi may (upon providing written notice to Supplier) demand immediate removal of, and discontinued use of, a Subcontractor if, in Citi’s sole discretion, Citi believes or determines that continued use of that Subcontractor could be detrimental to Citi and/or its Affiliates.  Upon receipt of notice from Citi, Supplier must promptly cease use of Subcontractor for the provision of Services to Citi and its Affiliates under any and all Work Orders and ensure Subcontractor does not directly or indirectly provide Services to Citi at any time under any subsequent Work Order.

 

19.4                        Excluded Activities.  Except with respect to Supplier’s obligations to be fully responsible for all acts and omissions of its Subcontractors, and for any failure of its Subcontractors to comply with all obligations and responsibilities of Supplier under this Agreement and any

22.                               COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

 

22.1                        General.

 

22.1.1              In performing its obligations under this Agreement, Supplier will comply, and will cause its Personnel to comply, with the requirements of all Applicable Law.

 

22.1.2              Each Party shall at all times monitor all Applicable Laws.  During the term of this Agreement, Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Supplier and its Personnel have an affirmative obligation to promptly report to Citi any concerns about, or indications of, actual or possible violations of Applicable Law to which they become aware.  Supplier will instruct its Personnel to report any concerns to Citi, and, without limiting the foregoing, will further instruct its Personnel to report any concerns through the use of any central or other reporting mechanism used or made available by Citi for this purpose (including but not limited to any Ethics Hotline).  If any change in Applicable Law requires Citi to adopt specific standards regarding its services providers which relate to the Services or Supplier’s methods of doing business as a result of changes in Applicable Law, then Supplier must make all modifications to the Services or its methods of doing business as are required to enable Citi to comply with any changes in Applicable Law.  Supplier will make all required changes at no charge to Citi. Citi shall notify Supplier in advance of the applicable performance by Supplier of any Applicable Laws that impose obligations on Citi, solely to the extent such Applicable Laws are relevant to Supplier’s provision of the Services.  With respect to obligations arising under Applicable Laws regulating Citi’s banking operations, including Applicable Laws concerning the conduct of banking services and the prevention of money laundering, Citi shall provide Supplier with specific operating instructions, which Supplier shall follow.  Supplier shall provide the Services in compliance with all Applicable Laws applicable to Supplier as a provider of technology services (including ADM Services), in compliance with all Applicable Laws which apply to Citi to the extent that Supplier has been made aware of such Applicable Laws by Citi, and in compliance with the foregoing operating instructions.

 

22.1.3              In the event that an Applicable Law or a change in Applicable Law (in each case, whether or not enacted or in force) might reasonably impact the Services, Supplier or Citi, as applicable, shall propose, using the Change Control Procedures, appropriate modifications to the Services to render the Services compliant with such Applicable Law or change in Applicable Law.  Upon agreement of the Parties pursuant to the Change Control Procedures, Supplier shall promptly implement such modifications.  Supplier shall pay any

 

58

costs associated with implementing any modifications to the Services required to render them compliant with Applicable Laws and changes in Applicable Laws applicable to Supplier and/or one of its Affiliates as providers of technology services (including ADM Services).  Citi shall pay any costs associated with implementing any modifications to the Services (including changes to the Service Levels) required to render them compliant with Applicable Laws and changes in Applicable Laws applicable to Citi; provided that if the modification is being made on behalf of multiple Supplier customers, Citi shall only pay the incremental costs (i) attributed to a reasonable proportion of Services received by it from Supplier that are impacted by such modification, as compared to the total services provided by Supplier to all customers that are impacted by such modifications, and (ii) for making any modification specifically for Citi.  For purposes of this Section 22.1.3, “changes in Applicable Law” shall include cases where an Applicable Law has not yet changed, but is reasonably expected to change.

 

22.1.4              The Parties shall periodically review the Services to assess their impact upon Citi’s compliance with Applicable Law.  Supplier shall provide Citi such information and assistance as Citi may reasonably request in connection with such reviews.

 

22.1.5              If, at any time, Citi determines that Supplier’s compliance with any Service Level will result in Citi violating any Applicable Law, the Parties shall amend such Service Level to ensure that Citi is not violating any Applicable Law.  The applicable commercial and other impact shall be discussed and agreed upon between the Parties.

 

22.2                        Export Controls.  Without limiting the generality of Section 22.1 (General Compliance with Law), Supplier specifically agrees to comply, and to cause its Personnel to comply, with the current or future requirements of all Applicable Laws that regulate the importation or exportation of goods and technologies, and in particular, to comply with the Export Administration Regulations of the United States (including obtaining all required authorizations or licenses) as they pertain to any technical data, computer software, or any product (or any part thereof), process, or service that is the direct product of any such technical data or computer software (hereinafter referred to collectively or individually without distinction as “Export Controlled Products”) to which Supplier’s Personnel have access while engaged by Citi.  Supplier acknowledges that the Export Administration Regulations of the United States prohibit the disclosure, exportation or re-exportation (directly or indirectly) of any Export Controlled Products: (i) to any country, or to any citizens or residents of any country, that is included within Country Group E:1 on Supplement No.1 to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C, part 740, as such Supplement No. 1 currently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time (hereinafter, Supplement No.1”), or (ii) to any country, or to any citizens or residents of any country, that is included within Country Group D:1 on Supplement No.1, if the Export Controlled Product is destined to a military end user or intended for any military use.  Supplier acknowledges that a current version of Supplement 1 may be viewed by: (i) accessing the web site located at http://www.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/ear_data.html, (ii) scrolling down to “Part 740Spir - Supplement No. 1 to Part 740, Country Groups”, and (iii) clicking on the Download Format preferred.  Supplier understands that countries other than the U.S. may restrict the import or use of strong encryption products or other items and may restrict exports, and Supplier agrees that it shall be solely responsible for compliance with any such import or use restriction.  Supplier represents that it is not currently debarred, suspended or otherwise prohibited or restricted from exporting, reexporting, receiving, purchasing, processing or otherwise obtaining any item, product, article, commodity, software or technology regulated

by any agency of the United States, and Supplier will promptly notify Citi if any of the foregoing occurs.  If requested by Citi, Supplier shall cause its Personnel to execute and return to Citi the appropriate form of Assurance of Compliance - Export Control Laws set forth as Appendix 22.2 (Assurance of Compliance — Export Control Laws).  Each Party acknowledges that certain activities undertaken in connection with the Services may be subject to export control-related Applicable Laws and/or re-export, import and use control-related Applicable Laws.  Citi shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary export, re-export, import and use licenses, permits, registrations or other permissions necessary for Citi to receive the Services, including with respect to any Citi Intellectual Property Rights provided to Supplier in connection with the Services.  Supplier shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary export, import and use licenses, permits, registrations, or other permissions necessary for Supplier to provide the Services, including with respect to any Supplier Materials provided to Citi or the applicable Citi Affiliate.  The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another (including providing necessary information) with respect to obtaining any required licenses, permits, registrations or other permissions pursuant to this Section 22.2.

 

22.3                        Rights in Bankruptcy.  All licenses, usage rights, access rights and other similar rights granted pursuant to this Agreement shall, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., be deemed to be licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Supplier Materials and Third Party Materials and any related documentation shall be deemed to be “embodiment(s)” of “intellectual property.”  Citi shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code or equivalent legislation in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Supplier acknowledges that the rights and license granted to Citi pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by Supplier’s rejection of this Agreement in bankruptcy, and shall continue subject to the provisions of this Agreement.  Upon the bankruptcy of Supplier, Citi shall further be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property comprising or relating to the Supplier Materials and Third Party Materials, and such, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to Citi, unless Supplier elects to continue, and does so continue, to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

22.4                        Insider Trading and Tipping Notice.  Supplier acknowledges that Applicable Law and Citi’s policies and procedures prohibit any person or entity from (i) trading any securities (including stocks, bonds, options or any other securities) when such person or entity has material, nonpublic information about those securities, or (ii) disclosing such information to any other person or entity that may sell or purchase such securities.

 

22.5                        Cooperation with Governmental or Regulatory Agencies.  Supplier acknowledges that Citi and its Affiliates are subject to Regulatory oversight under which Citi’s Regulators have the authority to exercise the same examination and Regulatory authority over Citi’s and its Affiliates’ suppliers that conduct certain functions or operations as if Citi or its Affiliates were themselves conducting these functions or operations.  Supplier shall promptly cooperate and comply with the requests of any Regulator of Citi or any of its Affiliates.

 

22.6                        Nondiscrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity.  Without limiting the generality of Section 18.1 (General) above, Supplier will comply, and will cause its

 

60

Personnel to comply, with the requirements of the Equal Opportunity Clause including (i) 41 CFR 60-300.5(a) which prohibits discrimination against qualified protected veterans, and requires affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified protected veterans, and (ii) 41 CFR 60-741.5(a) which prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals on the basis of disability, and requires affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified individuals with disabilities.

 

22.7                        Data Privacy.

 

22.7.1              Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Supplier shall ensure at all times that it, and all of the Equipment and software utilized by it, is in compliance with (i) Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 or any successor federal statute to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, and the rules and regulations thereunder, all as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, (ii) the European Commission Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) or Data Protection Act 1998 or any implementing or related legislation of any member state in the European Economic Area, (iii) the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, (iv) the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-204, 116 Stat. 745), and (v) any and all other relevant data privacy laws, regulations or directives, wherever they may be found (“Data Privacy Laws”).  Further, pursuant to Section 13 (Confidential Information) Citi shall have the right to audit Supplier to verify compliance with relevant Data Privacy Laws.  It is expressly understood that Supplier is solely responsible for such compliance and in determining which, if any, laws, regulations or directives are applicable, and Supplier shall timely notify Citi when such laws, regulations or directives are applicable to any Work Order. The Parties further agree that they shall enter into separate country specific data privacy agreements, as needed, and shall attach such agreements to this Agreement as Appendix 22.7.1 (Data Privacy Agreement by Country), which shall be incorporated into this Agreement by reference (“Data Privacy Agreements”).  Such Data Privacy Agreements shall reflect data privacy compliance requirements for the respective country that Supplier shall implement.

 

22.7.2              Without prejudice to Section 22.7.1 above, the Parties agree that Supplier is a data processor when processing personal data relating to the staff or customers of Citi.  If a supervisory authority for data protection considers, or Citi reasonably considers, that Supplier is a data controller, not a data processor, then Supplier agrees to make such changes to this Section 22.7.2 as Citi may reasonably require.  When Supplier processes personal data as a data processor, it shall:

 

(a)                                 only carry out processing on the instructions of Citi from time to time and promptly comply with any such instructions;

 

(b)                                 include in any contract with permitted Subcontractors who will process personal data directly or indirectly on behalf of Citi, and who have been approved by Citi pursuant to Section 19.2 (Supplier Affiliates and Subcontractors), provisions in favor of Citi which are equivalent to those in this Section 22.7 including sufficient guarantees in respect of the appropriate technical and organizational measures governing the data processing;

 

(c)                                  promptly refer to Citi any queries from data subjects, any data protection supervising authority,  or any law enforcement authority, for Citi to resolve;

 

(d)                                 at no additional cost, promptly provide such information to Citi as may be reasonably required to allow it to comply with the rights of data subjects, including

 

61

subject access rights, or with information notices served by the relevant law enforcement authority or to facilitate timely resolution of any of the foregoing or any related matter;

 

(e)                                  comply with the security breach notification procedures that may be provided by Citi from time to time, and promptly notify Citi in writing if this Section 22.7 has, may have been, or is likely to be breached, in sufficient detail to enable Citi to mitigate any liability it may incur;

 

(f)                                   cooperate with Citi to assist Citi in investigating and mitigating any breach of this Section 22.7 (including the provision of regular updates on the status of the breach);

 

(g)                                  ensure that the Services are provided in accordance with Citi’s information security policies and procedures;

 

(h)                                 take security measures to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to, alteration, disclosure, or loss and destruction of information; and

 

(i)                                     only transfer personal data to another country if and to the extent expressly permitted in a Work Order or expressly authorized by Citi in writing. To the extent that personal data of Citi located in the European Union is transferred to a country outside of the European Union, Supplier shall ensure an adequate level of protection for the rights of the data subject after written authorization by Citi which may be granted subject to such conditions as Citi thinks are necessary to ensure adequate protection of the data.

 

22.7.3              Supplier must take reasonable precautions (having regard to the nature of its other respective obligations under this Agreement) to preserve the integrity of any data of Citi and to prevent any corruption or loss of such data.  Supplier shall implement (and update from time to time as needed) the appropriate technical, organizational, and security measures (including any specific security measures specified in a Data Privacy Agreement) to protect Citi data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, disclosure, or alteration and provide Citi with a written detailed description of such measures promptly on request from time to time.

 

22.7.4              Supplier and Citi shall agree on a back-up procedure that shall require both Parties to back up data, and in any event Supplier must make a back-up copy of Citi’s data every day and record the copy on media from which Citi’s data can be re-loaded in the event of any corruption or loss of Citi’s data.

 

22.7.5              In the event that Citi’s data is corrupted or lost as a result of any default by Supplier, Citi may, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to it either under this Agreement or otherwise, elect to pursue either of the following remedies:

 

(a)                                 Citi may require Supplier at its own expense to restore or procure the restoration of Citi’s data; or

 

(b)                                 Citi may itself restore or procure restoration of Citi’s data, and shall be repaid by Supplier for any reasonable expenses so incurred.

 

23.                               CHOICE OF LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

23.1                        Governing Law.  The laws of the State of New York shall in all respects govern and be used to construe this Agreement, and all matters arising out of or related to this Agreement,

 

62



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

as though this Agreement was entered into, and was to be entirely performed within, the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles that would lead to the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.  The Parties expressly disclaim the applicability of, and waive any rights based upon, the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act or United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing stated in this Agreement will prejudice or limit the rights or remedies of either Party to enforce any award or decree under the laws of any jurisdiction where property or assets of the other Party may be located.  The Parties expressly and irrevocably acknowledge and agree that Part 1 of India’s Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1996 shall not apply to this Agreement.

 

23.2                        Escalation.

 

23.2.1              Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (“Dispute”) shall be referred in writing by Citi or Supplier to the Supplier Program Manager and the Citi Program Manager.  If the Dispute is not resolved within three (3) Business Days after such referral, the Parties shall immediately escalate the Dispute pursuant to Section 23.2.2 below.

 

23.2.2              If, for any reason, the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the referral of the Dispute to the Program Managers as provided in Section 23.2.1 above, two (2) senior executives of Supplier and two (2) senior executives of Citi shall meet (including by teleconference) for the purpose of resolving the Dispute by negotiation.  During such negotiation, such representatives shall attempt to produce a joint written recommendation, including actions to be taken with respect to any issues not agreed upon or remaining unresolved.  The Parties agree to be bound by any such joint written recommendation. Nothing in this Section (including a Party invoking this Section or a Party’s delay or failure to invoke this Section) is to be construed as a waiver of either Party’s exercise or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement.

 

23.3                        Arbitration.  If, for any reason, any Dispute is not amicably resolved in the manner provided by Section 23.2 (Escalation) above, then, within sixty (60) days after the Dispute is referred to the Program Managers in the manner provided by Section 23.2.1, any unresolved matters still in dispute between the Parties shall be referred, in writing, by either Supplier or Citi, for final and binding arbitration administered by the Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Court”) in accordance with its Rules of Arbitration then in effect (“ICC Rules”) except as modified herein.

 

23.3.1              The arbitration shall be conducted as follows:  (i) all proceedings in any such arbitration shall be conducted in English, and the arbitration proceedings shall be held in, the award rendered in, and the seat of arbitration shall be, New York City, New York, (ii) the arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators (“Tribunal”), one (1) of whom shall be appointed by Supplier, one (1) of whom shall be appointed by Citi, and one (1) of whom shall be appointed by the ICC Court, and (iii) the Tribunal shall have the power to award interest on any sums awarded as due and payable up to the date of payment of such sums.  Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration.

 

23.3.2              Notwithstanding any term of the ICC Rules otherwise, the Parties expressly agree that, if two (2) or more arbitrations arise between the Parties to this Agreement, whether out of or in relation to this Agreement or otherwise, none of the arbitrations so arising shall be consolidated unless all of the claims in all the arbitrations potentially subject to

 

63



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

consolidation are made under this Agreement.  Thus, for the avoidance of doubt, no consolidation may arise out of Article 10(c) of the 2012 ICC Rules of Arbitration, or any equivalent provision thereof in any subsequent version of the ICC Rules.

 

23.3.3              By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue an injunction, attachment or other appropriate equitable and interim relief or the enforcement of any award, and, for any such action, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Courts of the State of New York and the Federal Courts of the United States of American located within the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York (“New York Courts”).  In any such action, each Party further (i) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Court, (ii) irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law, and (iii) AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

 

23.3.4              Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and any New York Court, and application may also be made to such courts for a judicial recognition of the award or an order of enforcement thereof.

 

24.                               REMEDIES

 

24.1                        Equitable Relief — Party Breaches.  Each Party acknowledges that the failure to perform its duties under Sections 13 (Confidential Information) or 15 (Publicity) may cause the other Party to suffer irreparable injury for which the injured Party will not have an adequate remedy available at law.  Accordingly, the injured Party may seek to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any such breach, threatened or actual, without posting a bond or security and without prejudice to such other rights as may be available under this Agreement or under Applicable Law.

 

24.2                        Equitable Relief — Supplier Personnel Breaches.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 24.1, Supplier acknowledges that a breach of Sections 5.1 (Policies and Procedures), 5.2 (BS7799), 5.4 (Equipment and Network Security), 9 (Proprietary Rights), 13 (Confidential Information) or 15 (Publicity) of this Agreement by Supplier’s Personnel, existing or past, who have provided any Services under any Work Order or have had access to Citi’s Confidential Information may cause Citi to suffer irreparable injury for which Citi will not have an adequate remedy available at law.  Accordingly, Citi shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any such breach, threatened or actual, without posting a bond or security and without prejudice to such other rights as may be available under this Agreement or Applicable Law.  Supplier shall fully and unconditionally cooperate with Citi to pursue any injunctive or equitable relief against any Supplier Personnel who have provided any Services under any Work Order or have had access to Citi Confidential Information (whether such personnel are still employed by

Supplier or work elsewhere) whose actions are, in Citi’s reasonable judgment, deemed to be in breach of this Agreement, in the local courts of such Personnel’s current domicile or such other jurisdictions as may be appropriate in Citi’s reasonable discretion.

 

24.3                        Recovery of Fees.

 

24.3.1              For Services Other than Deliverables. If Citi terminates a Work Order in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.2.2(a) (Termination of a Work Order by Citi for Cause), Section 2.2.2(c) (Termination of a Work Order by Citi for Other Reasons), Section 6.2 (Acceptance or Rejection), Section 6.3 (Completion of Delivery of Services and Deliverables), or Section 12.4 (Conformity to Acceptance Criteria; Absence of Defects), then such termination shall be without any further financial liability or obligation of Citi (for the portion terminated) and Supplier shall, within five (5) Business Days of such termination, refund to Citi all Service Fees prepaid by Citi pursuant to such terminated Work Order with respect to the remainder of the then-current term of such Work Order, plus fees prepaid by Citi for services related to the Services or Deliverables and for any other products provided by Supplier to Citi that were provided in conjunction with the Services or Deliverables and cannot be utilized effectively or completely by Citi.

26.                               FORCE MAJEURE

 

26.1                        Force Majeure.  A Party will be excused from a delay in performing, or a failure to perform, its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is caused by reason of any event beyond the reasonable control, and without any fault, of such Party (including acts of God, fire, explosion, accident, floods, earthquakes, embargoes, epidemics, war, acts of terrorism, nuclear disasters, or other similar events) (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).  In such event, the performance times shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the duration of the Force Majeure Event; provided that in order to avail itself of the relief provided in this Section, a Party must act with due diligence to remedy the cause of, or to mitigate or overcome, such delay or failure. For purposes of this Section, the phrase “due diligence” shall, at a minimum, require Supplier to maintain in full compliance at all times with a contingency plan for the continuation of business (and provide evidence of its current and periodic testing if requested by Citi) so that despite any disruption in Supplier’s ability to fulfill its service obligations from any particular location (including, without limitation, all Service Locations) or through the efforts of any particular individuals, Supplier will be able to fulfill its service obligations from an alternate location or with replacement individuals.

 

26.2                        Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the affected Party shall promptly give written notice to the other Party of the Force Majeure Event and of the expected duration of such Force Majeure Event.

 

26.3                        During any period that, despite implementing and complying with the continuity of business plans, Supplier is wholly or partially prevented from, or delayed in, providing one or more Services under a Work Order, or one or more such Services is interrupted or suspended, due to a Force Majeure Event:

 

(a)                                 Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) avoid or remove the applicable Force Majeure Event, and (ii) resume normal performance of the affected Service with the least possible delay.

 

(b)                                 Citi shall not pay Supplier for the affected Services, provided that if and to the extent that Supplier subsequently performs the affected Services and Citi suffered no harm (including the cost of a replacement services provider) because of Supplier’s delay in providing the affected Services, Citi shall pay Supplier in accordance with the applicable Work Order.

 

(c)                                  Within ten (10) days following the Force Majeure Event, the Parties will mutually agree on a reasonable date on which Supplier will resume providing the affected Services (the “Resumption Date”), which timeline shall take into account the size, type and severity of the Force Majeure Event and the alternative options for restoration of such Services.  If Supplier does not resume providing the Services on or before the Resumption Date, the Services will be treated as a breach and the provisions applicable for a normal breach under a Work Order as set forth in this Agreement shall apply.

 

27.                               SOLICITING FOR HIRE

 

27.1                        Supplier will not directly or indirectly solicit for employment or services any Citi employee working with Supplier under a Work Order while such Work Order is in effect, nor during the [*******] month period following the termination or expiration of such Work Order.

27.2                        Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 27, Citi may request approval by Supplier for Citi to directly or indirectly solicit for employment or services any Supplier employee who has been assigned by Supplier to provide Services to Citi under a Work Order for at least six (6) months if Citi determines, in its sole discretion, to do so in connection with a change to Citi’s business plans or strategy (e.g., exiting or entering a new market, changes to sourcing and supplier strategy).  Supplier shall promptly respond to such requests, and if Supplier rejects a request, the Parties agree that such request may be subject to review by the Citi Global Head of Resource and Location Strategy to decide to approve such request or uphold Supplier’s rejection thereof. The Parties agree that the decision of the Citi Global Head of Resource and Location Strategy is final. Citi shall have no liability or obligation to Supplier or such employees in connection with any resulting hires.

 

27.3.                     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 27, and without limiting any other rights Citi may have hereunder, Citi shall have the right at any time to solicit for employment and hire any Key Personnel who have been assigned by Supplier to provide services to Citi under a Work Order (regardless of the work location of such Key Personnel), and without any obligation or liability to Supplier or Supplier’s Personnel.

 

27.4                        If at any time during the term of this Agreement, (v) Citi elects or is required to insource (i.e., transfer in-house into Citi’s operations) any Services performed by Supplier in order for Citi to comply with Applicable Law or as a result of Regulatory direction, recommendation, finding or similar guidance, (w) any of the events described in Section 2.1.2(d) occurs; (x) Supplier is unable or unwilling to perform its obligations required under this Agreement or any Work Order, (y) Citi terminates a Work Order pursuant to Section 2.2.2(i), or (z) an incident or suspected incident involving Supplier that poses a risk to Citi’s business or reputation, then none of the restrictions set forth in this Section 27 will apply to Citi and Citi may solicit or hire any Supplier Personnel at any time thereafter, without any obligation or liability to Supplier whatsoever.

 

27.5                        If there is a change in the entity possessing, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies, and operations of Supplier or of any Supplier Affiliate providing Services to Citi as set forth in Section 2.1.2(c), which change Citi has notified Supplier in writing of its objection, at Citi’s sole discretion, then Citi shall have the right, commencing as of the effective date of such change, to hire (a) up to [********] percent [****] of Supplier’s or such Supplier Affiliate’s Personnel performing Services and who were engaged by Citi to perform Services under a Work Order or through a Citi NEMS, wherever such Personnel are physically located. Supplier agrees to release Citi from any obligations or liabilities arising therefrom in the event of any such hiring by Citi.

 

27.6                        Without limiting any other rights Citi may have under this Section 27, Citi shall have the right at any time to solicit for employment and hire any Supplier Personnel providing Staffing Services, subject to Citi paying any hiring fee indicated in the applicable Work Order. If no such fee is indicated therein, Citi may exercise the foregoing right without liability for payment of any such fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Citi shall have the right to solicit for employment and hire any Personnel who (a) has performed Staffing Services that are not related to an India-based engagement for a minimum of [*****] months and (b) reports to a Citi project manager located at a Citi Location, without any obligation (including payment of a hiring fee after such [******] month period) to Supplier or such Personnel.

27.7                        If Supplier has engaged a Subcontractor to provide Services under a Work Order pursuant to Section 19.2, Citi shall have the right to solicit for employment and hire any employees of such Subcontractor, subject to Citi paying Supplier any hiring fees indicated in the applicable Work Order. If no such fee is indicated therein, Citi may exercise its right under this Section 27.7 without liability for payment of any such fee to Supplier or the applicable Subcontractor.

 

27.8                        Supplier agrees to include provisions in its agreements with its Subcontractors as may be necessary to enable Citi to exercise the rights contemplated under this Section 27 without Citi having any obligation or liability (under any theory of law) to any Subcontractor. For the purposes of this Section, the advertisement of employment opportunities by a Party in any public forum (including magazines, trade journals, publicly accessible internet sites, classified advertisements, or job fairs open to the public) shall not be considered “solicitation”, and the hiring of an individual as a result of his or her response to such a general employment advertisement or in response to his or her unsolicited employment inquiry shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

 

27.9                        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 27, Citi shall have the right to solicit for employment and hire, subject to the limitations set forth herein, up to [*****] percent [****] of Supplier Personnel assigned to a Project under a given Work Order following written notice from Citi that Supplier has materially failed to provide the Services in accordance with the terms of such Work Order and has not remediated such failure within a period of not less than ninety (90) days following receipt of such written notice. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, such failure by Supplier to so remediate shall automatically result in termination of the applicable Work Order as of the end of such ninety (90) day period. Citi’s right to solicit and hire under this Section 27.9 shall only apply to Supplier Personnel performing Services pursuant to Managed Services Work Orders, and shall be specifically limited to Supplier’s Personnel who have been assigned to a Managed Services Project as a billable resource and have been working for a period of at least [******] months under such Managed Services Work Order. For the avoidance of doubt, any Work Order is subject to termination by Citi in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2.2(a)(i), and in the event of any such termination, the provisions of this Section 27.9 shall not apply.

 

28.                               CONSTRUCTION

Exhibit 1 to Appendix 3.2 — Foreign National Contractor Letter of Assurance (LOA E5)

(Export Control Laws)

 

To be completed by Individual Contractors and Consultants, mandatory for Foreign Nationals, same form can be used for all contractors/consultants if desired.

 

I hereby acknowledge that as a condition for me being engaged by Citigroup, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries (collectively “Citi”), I must agree, and I do hereby agree, to comply with the laws and regulations of all of countries in which Citi conducts operations, and with the corporate policies and procedures promulgated by Citi that are designed to adhere to all such laws and regulations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I specifically agree to comply with all laws and regulations that regulate the importation or exportation of goods and technologies, and in particular, to comply with the Export Administration Regulations of the United States as they pertain to any technical data, computer software, or any product (or any part thereof), process, or service that is the direct product of any such technical data or computer software (hereinafter referred to collectively or individually without distinction as “Export Controlled Products”) to which I have access while engaged by Citi.  In order to ensure my compliance, I shall not disclose, export, re-export or otherwise transfer (directly or indirectly) any Export Controlled Products without having first verified that Citi has received such prior written authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce or other appropriate agencies as may be required by applicable law or regulations.  In addition, if I have any questions about any restrictions established by any applicable export control laws of any country, I will contact a Citi Export License Coordinator.

 

I acknowledge that the Export Administration Regulations of the United States prohibit the disclosure, exportation or re-exportation (directly or indirectly) of any Export Controlled Products: (i) to any country, or to any citizens or residents of any country, that is included within Country Group E on Supplement No.1 to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C, part 740, as such Supplement No. 1 currently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time (hereinafter, Supplement No.1”), or (ii) to any country, or to any citizens or residents of any country, that is included within Country Group D:1 on Supplement No.1, if the Export Controlled Product is destined to a military end user or intended for any military use.  I have been advised that a current version of Supplement 1 may be viewed by: (i) accessing the web site located at http://www.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/ear_data.html, (ii) scrolling down to “Part 740Spir - Supplement No. 1 to Part 740, Country Groups”, and (iii) clicking on the Download Format preferred.

 

I also acknowledge that certain computer software to which I may have access while engaged by Citi may contain encryption functionality controlled for “EI” purposes by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and that such computer software is subject to additional export control restrictions.  Accordingly, in addition to the other obligations assumed above with regard to the disclosure, exportation or re-exportation of Export Controlled Products, I specifically agree (i) not to use any computer software containing encryption functionality for any purpose other than for Citi’s internal use (which may include the development of new computer software products), and (ii) not to disclose, export, re-export or otherwise transfer any computer software containing encryption functionality outside Citi or to any other destination or end user outside the United States or Canada without first verifying that such an export is legally authorized by regulation or by license.

I further acknowledge and agree that the obligations assumed under this Assurance of Compliance shall be binding upon me during my term of engagement with Citi and shall continue to bind me thereafter, and that my failure to comply with the requirements and restrictions set forth herein may expose me and Citi to severe criminal and administrative penalties and sanctions.  In addition, subject to applicable laws, I understand that any such failure by me shall constitute grounds for disciplinary action by Citi, including immediate termination of my Citi engagement.

 

I understand that the personal information requested below is being collected only to assist Citi in complying with U.S. export control laws.  Depending on the information provided, there may be further steps that Citi will take to ensure compliance with such laws.  I understand that I may be required to work on matters that do not involve Export Controlled Products or the computer software described above until Citi confirms compliance with all such laws, but that the disclosure of the information below will have no other effect on my engagement with Citi.

 

I consent to the disclosure of the information provided below by Citi to U.S. government officials for the purposes of complying with U.S. export control laws.

The Business Continuity Plan must include procedures to ensure that Supplier is able to provide the Services and otherwise comply with its obligations under the Agreement, notwithstanding that an agent, consultant or contractor of Supplier is incapable of providing the Services to Supplier. The Continuity of Business Plan must be: (a) based upon a formal assessment of the applicable risks; (b) reviewed and updated on a regular basis and at least annually; (c) tested at least annually; and (d) subject to quality assurance review at least annually.

 

B. APRA

 

Where Citi is supervised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (“APRA”), APRA may require information from Citi or Supplier about the Services, Supplier or the Agreement.

 

Supplier will give APRA any information relating to the Agreement as soon as possible after Citi or APRA asks Supplier to do so. Supplier will promptly inform Citi as soon as practicable after APRA asks Supplier to provide information under this Section.

 

Supplier will permit APRA to conduct any on-site visit of Supplier’s premises that is necessary to APRA’s role as prudential supervisor of Citi.  If APRA notifies Citi of its intention to conduct an on-site visit of Supplier’s premises, Citi will promptly notify Supplier.  Where APRA conducts an on-site visit of Supplier’s premises, Supplier must not disclose or advertise that APRA has conducted such a visit without the prior written consent of Citi.

 

Supplier will use its best endeavours to satisfy APRA about any questions or concerns it may raise about the Services.

 

Supplier agrees that the existence of, and any information relating to, any investigation, question or concern raised by APRA about the services provided by Supplier to Citi or in relation to Citi, is Confidential Information.

Acquisition”, “GST”, “Input Tax Credit”, “Recipient”, “Supply”, “Tax Invoice” and “Taxable Supply” have the same meaning as in the GST Act.

2.                                     If this clause applies, the Recipient must pay the supplier an additional amount on account of GST.

 

3.                                     The additional amount payable on account of GST is, generally, equal to the Consideration for that Supply (apart from any payable under this clause) multiplied by the prevailing GST rate.

 

4.                                     To the extent that the Consideration for the Supply (other than that payable under this clause) is payable as a reimbursement for an expense incurred by the supplier as a result of a Creditable Acquisition it makes, the additional amount will be calculated by:

 

(i)                                    first reducing the Consideration for that Creditable Acquisition by any Input Tax Credit to which the supplier is entitled on making the Creditable Acquisition; and

 

(ii)            then applying the prevailing GST rate to that reduced amount.

 

5.                                     The additional amount is to be paid when the Recipient pays or provides any of the Consideration for the Supply, provided always that such amount will only be payable if a Tax Invoice for the Supply is provided to the Recipient.

F. ADDITIONAL TERMINATION RIGHTS

 

In addition to any right available to Citi under the Agreement, Citi may terminate the Work Order immediately upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” by Supplier. Any right of termination will not limit Citi from exercising any other rights or remedies it may have at law or in equity.

 

For the purposes of this clause F, “Event of Default” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

 

(i)                                     a representation or warranty of Supplier is false or misleading in any material respect when it was made;

2.5.                  Data controller obligations.  To the extent that it is a data controller, Supplier shall comply (and shall ensure that its Associated Persons comply) with the Data Protection Act 1988 or any analogous law or regulation.  If a supervisory authority for data protection considers, or Citi reasonably considers, that Supplier is a data controller in relation to Personal Data provided to Supplier pursuant hereto, Supplier shall make such changes to this Exhibit CSA-D as Citi may reasonably require.

2.9.                  If the findings of an ISA disclose or indicate security problems or concerns, Citi will detail them in a notice to Supplier, and provide reasonable assistance and guidance so that Supplier corrects the problems and addresses the concerns to Citi’s reasonable satisfaction.

 

2.10.           Supplier’s failure to correct the problems or adequately address the concerns expeditiously will be a material breach of this Agreement.  Citi agrees that the findings of any ISA is Supplier’s Confidential Information.

EXHIBIT CSA-G

PERSONNEL

 

For the purposes of this Exhibit CSA-G (Personnel), the following words have the following meanings:

 

“Replacement Supplier” means a service provider selected by Citi to provide services (in whole or in part) to replace the Services provided by Supplier following the expiration or termination of the Agreement;

 

“Transfer Legislation” means (i) the European Union Acquired Rights Directive; and/or (ii) any relevant local legislation implementing the European Union Acquired Rights Directive in the relevant jurisdictions; and/or (iii) any Applicable Law which contains provisions that are similar in nature or similar in effect to the provisions of the European Union Acquired Rights Directive.

 

General

 

1.                                     Supplier shall be responsible for all emoluments and outgoings for its Personnel up to the point of any transfer on termination or expiration of the Agreement and shall indemnify and hold harmless Citi against all losses, costs, claims, demands, actions, fines, liabilities, damages and/or expenses (“Damages”) in respect of the Supplier’s failure to pay them.

 

2.                                     To the extent that any Applicable Law applies to Supplier Personnel emoluments and outgoings, such that any of the Supplier Personnel should become eligible to receive additional compensation (whether such compensation is monetary or in the form of additional benefits), Supplier shall also be responsible for such additional compensation (whether paid by Citi or directly by Supplier) and will indemnify and hold harmless Citi against all Damages in respect of any claims that such additional compensation should have been made to any Supplier Personnel.

 

3.                                     Supplier shall not unlawfully discriminate in its provision of the Services whether in relation to its own Personnel and/or Citi Personnel and whether in respect of race, gender, religion, belief, disability, sexual orientation, age or otherwise.

 

4.                                     Each obligation on Supplier herein will include additional obligations to procure compliance with that obligation by its affiliates, agents and sub-contractors.

 

5.                                     All indemnities from Supplier in this Exhibit CSA-G (Personnel) will benefit Citi and any Replacement Supplier.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the parties agree that Replacement Suppliers shall be third party beneficiaries to the Agreement for the sole purpose of benefiting from such indemnities and are entitled to enforce those indemnities directly.

1.                                      DEFINITIONS.

 

1.1                               Specific Words or Phrases.  The following is added to Section 1.1 (Specific Words or Phrases) of the Agreement with respect to any Customer-Facing Services only:  All references in the Agreement to “Services” or “services” are deemed to refer to the Customer-Facing Services described in this Appendix 3.8.

3.                                      Policies and Procedures.  The following is added to Section 5.1 (General) of the Agreement with respect to Customer-Facing Services only:  “Supplier acknowledges and agrees that its commitment under Section 5.1 (General) of the Agreement to have those of its Personnel working on Citi’s facilities comply with Citi’s workplace policies and procedures includes compliance with the physical security procedures and other security measures of Citi and its Affiliates.  Citi will use reasonable efforts to keep Supplier apprised of all physical security procedures and other security measures.  Citi will have the discretion to issue, activate, confiscate and deactivate identifications cards, keys or other security devices to or from those of Supplier’s Personnel working on Citi’s facilities; provided that Citi’s conducting of these actions will not be deemed to imply any employment relationship between Citi and such Personnel.”

 

4.                                      The following replaces in its entirety Section 4.10.6 (Disaster Recovery Plan) of the Agreement with respect only to Customer-Facing Services:

 

“4.10.6                   Disaster Recovery Plan.  Supplier will maintain a contingency plan (a “Disaster Recovery Plan”) for the continuation of business (and provide evidence of its current and periodic testing if requested by Citi) so that despite any disruption in Supplier’s ability to provide the Services or to perform its other obligations hereunder from any particular location or through the efforts of any particular individuals, Supplier will promptly be able to provide the Services and perform its obligations from an alternate location or with replacement Personnel.  A copy of the Disaster Recovery Plan must be provided to Citi within ten (10) days of the Effective Date of each Work Order entered into between Citi and Supplier for Customer-Facing Services, and annually thereafter for so long as each Work Order is in effect.  Supplier will provide Citi with any instructions or other information necessary for Citi to continue to receive Services from Supplier under circumstances where Supplier has had to invoke its Disaster Recovery Plan.  Supplier represents, warrants and covenants that its disaster recovery plan will, at a minimum, include: (i) maintenance by Supplier of a secondary disaster recovery site separate from the Service locations, the storing of back-up media at a location separate

Exhibit 1 to Appendix 3.8 — Computer Security Guidelines

 

A.            General

 

Appoint one Supplier employee, knowledgeable about computer security matters, to respond to Citi’s inquiries regarding computer security.

 

Use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor, on a regular basis, reputable sources of computer security vulnerability information such as FIRST, CERT/CC, and vendor mailing lists, and take appropriate measures to obtain, thoroughly test, apply and provide to Citi relevant service packs, patches, upgrades, and workarounds.

 

Test, on at least a quarterly basis, the implementation of its information security measures through the use of network, system, and application vulnerability scanning tools and/or penetration testing.

 

Permit Citi to request and/or perform, at the expense of Citi, up to two security assessments per year, including but not limited to, review of policies, processes, and procedures, on-site assessment of physical security arrangements, network, system, and application vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing.

 

Maintain, for a period of at least 180 days (or such longer period as may be required by law or contract) detailed logs files concerning all activity on Supplier’s systems including, without limitation:

 

·                  All sessions established

·                  Information related to the reception of specific information from a user or another system

·                  Failed user authentication attempts

·                  Unauthorized attempts to access resources (software, data, processes, etc.)

·                  Administrator actions

·                  Events generated (e.g., commands issued) to make changes in security profiles, permission levels, application security configurations, and/or system resources.

 

All log files should be protected against unauthorized access, modification, or deletion.

 

B.            Network and Communications Security

 

Deploy multiple layers of defense including on Supplier systems, but not limited to firewalls, network intrusion detection, and host-based intrusion detection systems. All security monitoring systems including, but not limited to, firewalls and intrusion detection systems must be monitored 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

 

Configure firewalls, network routers, switches, load balancers, name servers, mail servers, and other network components in accordance with commercially reasonable industry standards.

 

At the request of Citi, based on information received by Citi about vulnerabilities and threats, restrict access to any Citi-specific component of the networks, systems, and applications used to provide services under this Agreement.

 

C.            Infrastructure Platforms, Services, and Operations Security

 

Configure all infrastructure platforms and services (operating systems, web servers, database servers, firewalls, routers, etc.) used to provide services under this Agreement and authentication mechanisms according to industry best practices.

 

Ensure that all remote administrative access to production systems is performed over encrypted connections (i.e., SSH, SCP, SSL-enabled web-management interfaces, and VPN solutions).

 

D.            Application Security

 

Permit only authenticated and authorized users to view, create, modify, or delete information managed by applications used in connection with providing services under this Agreement.

Ensure that web browser cookies that store confidential data are encrypted using a public and widely accepted encryption algorithm. This encryption must be performed independently of any transport encryption such as Secure Sockets Layer. All other cookies must be opaque.

 

“Time out” and terminate system communication sessions after a mutually agreed upon period of user inactivity.

 

Terminate any active sessions interrupted by power failure, system “crash,” network problem, or other anomaly, or when the connection is interrupted by the user.

 

Validate all input and output prior to use to avoid data-driven attacks such as “cross-site scripting” and “SQL injection.”

 

E.            Data Security (check if applicable)

 

Transmit all highly confidential Citi information via some mechanism other than a Web browser, using a Citi approved encryption algorithm.

 

When database storage is required, store all Citi information classified “Confidential” or above in a separate database (i.e., a database that is not shared with or accessible by other Supplier customers).

 

F.             Physical Security

 

Maintain all workstations, servers, and network equipment used to provide services under this Agreement in secure facilities owned, operated, or contracted for by Supplier.

 

Limit access to these secure facilities to authorized Supplier staff members with job-related needs.

 

Monitor access to these secure facilities through the use of security guards, surveillance cameras, authorized entry systems, or similar methods capable of recording entry and exit information.

 

Maintain all backup and archival media containing Citi information, or other information used to provide services under this Agreement, in secure, environmentally-controlled storage areas owned, operated, or contracted for by Supplier.

 

Limit access to backup and archival media storage areas and contents to authorized Supplier staff members with job-related needs.

 

G.           Malicious Code and Virus Protection

 

Use the latest, commercially available virus and malicious code detection and protection products on all workstations and servers used to provide services under this Agreement.

 

Report all occurrences of viruses and malicious code, not handled by deployed detection and protection measures, on any workstation or server used to provide services under this Agreement, to Citi within 24 hours of discovery.

 

H.           Business Continuity and Recovery

 

Perform backups of all systems, applications, and data used to provide services under this agreement in a manner consistent with the business resumption specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

Periodically transfer backup media to a secure off-site storage facility.

 

Have a detailed, documented plan for responding to a prolonged disruption in services caused by power failure, system failure, natural disaster, or other unforeseen circumstances that includes

Where obligations of Supplier are described in the Work Order and its Attachments, such obligations shall be read, to the extent reasonably possible, as consistent obligations and, to the extent not reasonably possible, the order of precedence shall be, in descending order:

 

·                  The Work Order (including a Work Order designated as a  statement of work)

 

Attachments or exhibits to the Work Order, other than any technical solutions documents (“TSDs”) that happen to be attached to the Work Order.

 

Any TSDs that may also be attachments or exhibits to the Work Order.  TSDs are intended to be only clarifying reference documents of Supplier’s technical solution.  They shall not redefine, alter or modify the Work Order obligations without prior written Citi approval.  They shall also not redefine, alter or modify the Service Level requirements or the Pricing and Payment Provisions without prior written Citi approval.  If there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between a TSD and any of the Work Order, or any attachments or exhibits to the Work Order, including the Service Level or Pricing and Payment Provisions exhibits, the TSD shall in all cases be accorded the lowest order of precedence in resolving the discrepancy or inconsistency.  In any case, nothing in any TSD shall be interpreted to add any additional Charges for the Services, as all such Charges are set forth in Pricing template.

 

Global Development Center (GDC) Requirements

 

Supplier is responsible for providing the base facility infrastructure of a Global Development Center, including, without limitation, secure floor space for its Personnel, and software and hardware conforming to Citi standards. In addition, Supplier is responsible for hardware and software required to enable its offsite team to achieve similar productivity to on-site locations, regardless of where that hardware/software is located. Upon written consent of Citi, Supplier may add or change its GDC strategy.  The information below provides the minimum requirements for a Supplier’s GDC.

 

GDC Infrastructure Overview

 

·                  All changes or additions to hardware (except Desktop Hardware) shall be in accordance with mutual written agreement of the Parties. Supplier shall maintain standards of facilities and services that Citi and Supplier mutually agree are adequate for the conduct of work under the Work Order.  If any changes in the requirements of standards are proposed by Citi, Supplier will use reasonable efforts to implement such requirements. Citi and Supplier will mutually agree on any reimbursement for additional or incremental cost of complying with such additional requirements, subject to the procedure set forth below and provided that the cost of any infrastructure adjustments requested by Supplier and approved by Citi shall be borne by Supplier.

 

·                  Major infrastructure needs will be identified and agreed upon by Citi and Supplier ninety (90) days in advance to ensure adequate resources will be

set aside by Supplier to implement infrastructure improvements and changes in a timely manner. Implementation of major infrastructure adjustments require adequate notification — a minimum of ninety (90) days prior written notice — to Supplier prior to commencement of the adjustments to ensure that there are no disruptions to service levels.  Such adjustments, including but not limited to expansion of existing facilities or establishment of new facilities from which Citi’ Work Order are to be executed, will only be undertaken by Supplier upon receiving explicit written approval from Citi’s authorized official.

 

·                  Supplier is required to be linked to Citi’s location via high speed data link(s). The cost of these and additional link(s) will be borne by Supplier (see Section 2 below).  The cost of any network demarking equipment (e.g., routers) that needs to be installed at Citi premises and Citi last mile connectivity (up to Citi firewall) - will be borne by Supplier.  The cost of any equipment behind Citi’s firewall will be borne by Citi, with the exception of Productivity Hardware/Software.  Supplier will provide no less than quarterly reports to Citi detailing data, voice and video usage, originating to and from the Global Development Center.

 

·                  Supplier shall ensure complete redundancy on the last mile circuits (no single point of failure) between Supplier and Citi network, including but not limited to redundant, alternate PPT central offices.

 

·                  Usage of links must not exceed an average of seventy percent (70%) over a fifteen (15) minute time period over a ten (10) hour day for normal use as seen on the telecom circuit.  Occasional file transfer requirements (“FTP”) are exempt from this requirement.  Citi will provide assistance in measuring the utilization.  If in seventy percent (70%) of the samples during a month, the link utilization exceeds seventy percent (70%), Supplier will provide Citi with upgrade plans for the link with Citi and initiate necessary actions to implement the upgrade after approval from Citi. The seventy percent (70%) link utilization measurement will be done by monitoring from the CSU/DSU or other link/WAN devices output, and will NOT be taken as estimation via the LAN/Ethernet port.

 

·                  All equipment connected to Citi must adhere to Citi’ published standards and technology stacks.  Citi will provide Supplier with the standards and may update them regularly. Citi  allow a reasonable time for Supplier to move to new standards.

 

·                  Where appropriate, Citi will consider opportunities to sub-license or loan, at no cost to Supplier, Citi-specific hardware, software, case tools etc. that Citi uses to enhance productivity (to the extent permitted by the relevant product license) so as to ensure usage of common “best practices” in the development of the Personnel of Citi and Supplier.

 

GDC Connectivity Requirements

 

·                  Deployment of Cisco routers at designated Citi Data Center(s) at Supplier’s expense. (The Citi Data Centers may not be in the same country as Supplier).

 

·                  These routers will be monitored and managed by Supplier and will require Fast Ethernet (100MBPS/Full Duplex) interfaces for Citi to Vendor DMZ handoff.

 

·                  WAN service to each designated Citi Data Center. The circuits will be owned and monitored by the bidding vendor. Each circuit will need to have complete carrier diversity including last mile central office diversity.

 

·                  Supplier will encrypt all Citi data across the WAN infrastructure through the use of external WAN encryption units or IPSEC Triple DES encryption between Cisco routers. Additional encryption of sensitive data may also be required.

1.2.                            Each New Work Order (other than those for Staff Augmentation Services that are provided under the direct, day-to-day supervision of Citi) and each extension of an Existing Work Order shall include Service Levels and KPIs such that the Services are provided at a “best in class” level (as agreed by Citi and Supplier, working towards a high industry standard) and, at a minimum, in the event that service levels for such Services were tracked by Citi or its other service providers prior to the effective date of such New Work Order, at least equal to such service levels, and Citi and Supplier will negotiate the appropriate Service Levels, Service Level Credit Allocations, Performance Components, Performance Targets, Performance Target Bases, Service Level Credits, Reporting Events, Reporting Frequencies; Reporting Levels and, as applicable, the Performance Commencement Dates, the Production Periods, Stages, and Turnaround Targets and any measuring and monitoring tools (collectively, the “Service Level Metrics”), which shall all be set forth in a schedule to the applicable Work Order, using the template included as Appendix 3.2 (Form of Work Order) of the Agreement.  If and to the extent Citi agrees to an exception to this Section 1.2 of this Appendix 7 for any particular Work Order, such exception must be expressly defined in the Work Order and clearly limited in scope and duration in order to be valid.

 

1.2.1.                  The Service Level Metrics for New Work Orders and for extensions of Existing Work Orders involving ADM Services and L3 Support Services (as referenced in each Work Order) shall be based on those set forth on Appendix 7(a)(i) (Standard Service Levels for Application Development and L3 Support Services), as supplemented by the Parties in the New Work Orders.

 

1.2.2.                  The Service Level Metrics for New Work Orders and for extensions of Existing Work Orders involving Services for Testing Services (as referenced in each Work Order) shall be based on those set forth on Appendix 7(a)(ii) (Standard Service Levels for Testing Services), as supplemented by the Parties in the New Work Orders.

 

1.2.3.                  The Service Level Metrics for New Work Orders and for extensions of Existing Work Orders involving Services for L1 and L2 Support Services (as referenced in each Work Order) shall be based on those set forth on Appendix 7(a)(iii) (Standard Service Levels for L1 and L2 Production Support Services), as supplemented by the Parties in the New Work Orders.

 

2.              General

 

2.1.                            Supplier shall provide each Service in a manner that meets or exceeds the Performance Targets for the Service Levels and KPIs applicable to that Service.

 

2.2.                            Whether a Performance Target has been met or exceeded will be determined by comparing the actual measure, using the Performance Target Basis, of the Performance Component for such Service Level or KPI for the applicable Reporting Level against the applicable Performance Target for the applicable Reporting Window.

 

2.3.                            Supplier’s performance will be measured against the Performance Target, and Supplier’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.1 above of this Appendix 7 shall apply to the period of time beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and shall continue through the completion of the applicable Work Order(s).  For the avoidance of doubt, for Service Levels for which the Reporting Window includes the Production Period, such obligations shall also apply to the Production Period.

3.              Definitions

 

3.1.                            Allocation Pool means [***] of the At-Risk Percentage, except for Work Orders for which Service Levels do not apply and except to the extent a higher percentage is otherwise specified in the applicable Work Order.

 

3.2.                            At-Risk Amount means the amount of Service Fees payable under a Work Order multiplied by the At-Risk Percentage to determine the maximum amount of the Service Level Credit associated with a Service Level Default, which shall be the amount of Fees apportioned to the relevant Reporting Window provided that:

 

3.2.1.                  where a Performance Target measures performance at one Stage to assess the quality of performance in prior Stages (e.g., Defect Density or Defect Leakage), the At-Risk Amount shall be the cumulative Fees paid or payable for the month(s) and/or the milestone(s)/Deliverable(s) up through and including the Stage at which the applicable Performance Target is measured; and

 

3.2.2.                  in no event shall the total Services Credits paid or payable under a Work Order exceed the product of the At-Risk Percentage and the total amount of Fees paid or payable for such Work Order.

 

3.3.                            At-Risk Percentage means [*********************] for ADM Services, except for Work Orders for which Citi agrees that Service Levels do not apply and those Work Orders for which Supplier agrees to a higher “At Risk Percentage.”  If a Work Order refers to the “At Risk Amount” as a percentage, rather than an amount, then such percentage shall be treated as the “At Risk Percentage”, and the “At Risk Amount” for such Work Order shall be as defined in Section 3.2 (At-Risk Amount) of this Appendix 7.

 

3.4.                            Interim Reporting means those portions of the Reports (as such term is defined in Section 5.1 of this Appendix 7) delivered for Reporting Frequencies during which the applicable Stage (or work on the applicable milestone/Deliverable) remains uncompleted for those Service Levels for which the Reporting Event indicates that cumulative reporting will apply (e.g., a Reporting Event that is “Monthly Stage Cumulative”).

 

3.5.                            KPIs means the key performance indicators, or the key measures, used to determine the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Services.  Default KPIs for ADM Services are set forth in Appendix 7(a)(iv) of this Appendix 7, which includes the KPI definitions and formulas followed for the KPI metrics.

 

3.6.                            Performance Commencement Date means the date starting from which Service Level and KPI measurements under a Work Order are measured and Service Level Credits apply. Unless otherwise specified in a Work Order, the Performance Commencement Date shall be the Effective Date of the applicable Work Order(s) except for new or modified Service Levels to the extent that the Performance Targets remain to be determined or are increased pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 of this Appendix 7, in which case the Performance Commencement Date for the new or increased Performance Target shall be the date immediately following the Reporting Window that led to the determination or increase of the Performance Target.

 

3.7.                            Performance Component means the detail or component for which performance is measured by the Service Level and/or KPI (e.g., schedule variance, defect density).

 

3.8.                            Performance Target means the performance level requirement for a particular Service Level or KPI

 

3.9.                            Performance Target Basis means the unit of measurement (count, percentage) used to calculate performance of the Service Level or KPI.

 

3.10.                     Production Period means, when the Stage is “Production,” the duration of time after the Deliverable has been placed in Citi’s production environment for which the applicable Service Level or KPI performance is measured (e.g., number of days, number of months, “Post Go-Live”).

 

3.11.                     Report has the meaning set forth in Section 5.1.

 

3.12.                     Reporting Event means the trigger for measurement of a Service Level or KPI, which shall be set forth in the Work Order and may be completion of a Stage,

 

250

completion of a milestone, completion of a month or other period of time and/or of such other state of performance.

 

3.13.                     Reporting Frequency means the frequency at which performance measurements will be calculated and reported, which shall be monthly unless otherwise explicitly set forth in the applicable Work Order.

 

3.14.                     Reporting Level means the level at which the Service Level or KPI will be calculated (e.g., at the application level (i.e., per individual application) or at the Work Order level (cumulatively for all applications serviced/supported for the Work Order)).

 

3.15.                     Reporting Window means the period of time covered in a Report, which will be the period of time from the beginning of Supplier’s work to achieve the Reporting Event through the Reporting Event.  For instance, for a Service Level with a Reporting Event that is identified as “Monthly (Stage Cumulative)” where the Stage commenced on the 15th of January and was completed in mid-July, the monthly reports covering January through June will have a Reporting Window beginning on the 15th of January and ending with the most-recently completed month, while the report for July will have a Reporting Window beginning on the 15th of January and ending with completion of the Stage.  By contrast, for a Service Level with a Reporting Event that is identified as “Monthly”, the Reporting Window shall be the applicable month.

 

3.16.                     Service Levels means the metrics and performance standards that will apply to the provision of the Services, including (i) those set forth in the Agreement and the Work Order and (ii) any other metrics and performance standards relating to the Services as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in the Work Order.

 

3.17.                     Service Level Credit has the meaning set forth in Section 7.2.

 

3.18.                     Service Level Credit Allocation (or “Service Level Weight”) means the portion, expressed as a percentage, of the Allocation Pool applied to a particular Service Level.  In the event that the Work Order does not specify a percentage allocation, the Allocation Pool shall be [*******] across the Service Levels.  No one Service Level may have a Service Level Credit Allocation assigned to it of more than [*************].

 

3.19.                     Severity Level means the category of impact that a particular event, incident, defect, or other problem may have on Citi’s business or operations.  Specific Severity Levels applicable to ADM Services under this Agreement are defined below:

 

3.19.1.           Severity Levels covering ADM Services, Level 3 Support Services, and testing Services shall be defined as follows:

 

3.19.1.1.             Severity 1 (or “SEV1”):  Critical impact.  The impact of the defect is very severe and testing and/or implementation cannot proceed without resolving the problem.

 

3.19.1.2.             Severity 2 (or “SEV2”):  Major impact.  The impact of the defect is severe, and an interim solution is not available for the system to go into the production environment without resolving the problem.

 

3.19.1.3.             Severity 3 (or “SEV3”):  Moderate impact.  The impact of the defect is not severe, and an interim solution is available for the system to go into the production environment without resolving the problem.  These are also the defects that could potentially be resolved via documentation.

 

3.19.1.4.             Severity 4 (or “SEV4”):  Low Impact.  Defects that does not need to be corrected immediately or can be considered as requirements for the next release.

 

3.19.2.           Severity Levels covering Level 1 Support Services and Level 2 Support Services (“Production Support”) shall be defined as follows:

 

3.19.2.1.             Severity 1 (or “SEV1”):  Critical impact.  Production issue resulting in total or substantial loss, inaccessibility, or unusability of service, impeding mission critical operations, and/or deemed to be an emergency by Citi.  No

 

251

workaround or manual process available or acceptable.  Examples include but are not limited to:  system outage, system crashes or hangs indefinitely, data integrity compromised or likely to be compromised, failure of back-up or recovery operations, issue causing or likely to cause security incident, significant financial impact, disruption of multiple users or services, or impediments to impending deadlines (end of day, end of quarter, etc.), etc.

 

3.19.2.2.             Severity 2 (or “SEV2”):  Major impact.  Production issue resulting in restricted or impaired access or usability of service, but that does not render the services completely inaccessible or unusable.  No workaround or manual process available or acceptable.  Examples include, but are not limited to: function, feature or other failure that requires ongoing intervention to maintain productive use, slow response time, slow performance, etc.

 

3.19.2.3.             Severity 3 (or “SEV3”):  Moderate impact.  Production issue resulting in partial or limited loss of non-critical functionality, but no impact on essential operations, significant business processes, production, or productivity, and no material restriction of use or access.  Stable and acceptable workaround or manual process available.  Examples include, but are not limited to: non-critical service is partially degraded, individual users’ access or use is partially disrupted, etc.

 

3.19.2.4.             Severity 4 (or “SEV4”):  Low Impact.  Production issue with no impact on the delivery, quality, performance, or functionality of the service.  Stable and acceptable workaround or manual process available.  Examples include, but are not limited to:  questions of general usage, installation, configuration, or integration, enhancement or cosmetic suggestions for future improvement, etc.

 

3.20.                     Stage means a stage in the Services life cycle (e.g., for ADM Services, SIT, UAT, Production, etc.).

 

3.21.                     Tickets means actionable events that are to be logged and tracked in Citi’s Systems (e.g., ticketing or email systems).  For clarity, all of the following are included in the definition of Tickets:  notification emails, requests, incidents, problems, system alarms, system alerts and other like events.

 

3.22.                     Turnaround Target means the timeframe within which a task must be performed.  For example, if the Service Level requires that a Severity 1 Ticket be acknowledged no later than 15 minutes from notice, then “15 minutes from notice” is the Turnaround Target for acknowledgement of a Severity 1 Ticket.  The Turnaround timeframe for ADM Services is measured from the point of the initial notification or the time of logging into the system, whichever is earlier, of a Defect (e.g., where the Service Level is Defect Resolution Performance) or a Ticket (e.g., where the Service Levels are for Production Support).

 

3.23.                     Working Day has the meaning set forth in Section 6.1 of this Appendix 7.

 

4.              Service Level Measurement and Formulas

 

4.1.                            For the measurement of Service Levels and KPIs, Supplier shall:

 

4.1.1.                  be responsible for measuring and reporting performance.  Such measurement and reporting shall provide the level of detail sufficient to verify compliance with the Performance Targets and shall be subject to audit by Citi;

 

4.1.2.                  provision, implement, maintain and support tools required to measure performance; and

 

4.1.3.                  be solely responsible for the collection, measurement and analysis of data pertaining to the Service Levels and KPIs as reflected in any Service Level Metrics or other relevant reports.  Citi shall be responsible for coordinating the collection of data from sources that are beyond the control of Supplier.

 

4.2.                            Failure to properly measure and report performance with respect to any particular Service Level or KPI as per the applicable Reporting Window will be deemed to be a Service Level Default with respect to such Service Level or KPI, provided that

 

252



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

Supplier will be given notice and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure each such failure (but no cure period shall apply with respect to any subsequent failure to properly measure and/or report performance with respect to the same particular Service Level or KPI).

 

5.              Service Level Reporting

 

5.1.                            For Service Level reporting, and any other reporting requirements as defined in the Work Order, Supplier shall provide Citi with a set of hard and/or (at Citi’s request) soft-copy reports on Supplier’s performance against the Service Levels and KPIs for each Reporting Level as per the Reporting Frequency (each, a “Report”).  Each such Report will cover only those Service Levels and KPIs (a) for which a Reporting Event has occurred since the previous Report or (b) for which Interim Reporting applies.  In each Report, Supplier will (i) notify Citi of any Service Level Credits to which Citi is entitled or, with respect to Interim Reporting, would be entitled if Sections 7.1 and 7.2 applied to Interim Reporting, if such reporting is called for in the applicable Work Order; and (ii) describe any Service Level Default that has occurred. Each Report shall be submitted no later than five (5) Business Days after the completion of the period covered by the Reporting Frequency. Supplier shall upload the same onto Citi SharePoint or any other Citi online portal that Citi may designate.  Supplier will make such Reports accessible to Citi online at all times.  Detailed supporting information for each Report will be provided to Citi as reasonably requested by Citi.

 

5.2.                            For avoidance of doubt, the raw data and detailed supporting information will be owned by Citi and considered Citi Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

 

6.              Time Periods

 

6.1.                            Except as otherwise specified, all references to hours, time, days, months and quarters will be according to the applicable Work Order.  “Working Days” shall mean the days Services are required to be provided by Supplier pursuant to the coverage set forth in the Work Order and may, therefore, include days that are not Business Days.

 

7.              Service Level Defaults, Credits and Termination Events

 

7.1.                            Service Level DefaultIn the event that Supplier fails to meet a Performance Target for a Service Level for a Reporting Level during a Reporting Window (other than a Reporting Window for Interim Reporting, unless otherwise set forth in the Work Order), other than because of an Excused Event (as defined in Section 10 below of this Appendix 7 (Service Levels)) (such unexcused failure, a “Service Level Default”), Supplier will be required to provide Service Level Credits to Citi, as further detailed in Section 7.2 of this Appendix 7 (Service Levels).

 

7.2.                            Service Level Credits

 

7.2.1.                  Service Level Defaults shall result in a “Service Level Credit” to Citi computed as follows:

 

7.2.1.1.        Service Level Credit = A x B, where A = the Service Level Credit Allocation for the Service Level for which the Service Level Default has occurred and B = the product of (x) the applicable At-Risk Percentage and (y) the applicable At-Risk Amount.

 

7.2.1.2.        For example, if a Service Level Credit Allocation of [***] is assigned to a Service Level for which a Service Level Default occurred, [************] and the applicable Service Fees are $[****], the Service Level Credit for such Service Level Default will be [*******************************].

 

7.2.2.                  A Service Level Credit shall accrue for each Service Level Default; provided that in no event will the total amount of Service Level Credits actually credited to Citi with respect to Service Level Defaults occurring in any single Reporting Window (other than a Reporting Window for Interim Reporting, unless otherwise set forth in the Work Order) exceed, in the aggregate, the product of the applicable At-Risk Percentage and the applicable At-Risk Amount for such Reporting Window.

 

253



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

7.2.3.                  In the event Citi is entitled to a Service Level Credit, the amount of such Service Level Credit will be set forth as a credit note to Citi on Supplier’s invoice for the first full month immediately following the Reporting Window (other than a Reporting Window for Interim Reporting, unless otherwise set forth in the Work Order) in which the applicable Service Level Default has occurred.

 

7.2.4.                  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Service Level Credits are intended to incentivize Supplier’s compliance with the Performance Targets for the Service Levels and will not be deemed as liquidated damages or as any other remedy to address a breach or other failure by Supplier to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Work Order.  In the event that a Service Level Credit is paid for the same breach that results in a claim by Citi for Damages, such Service Level Credit shall be returned to Supplier in the form of a credit against such Damages.

 

7.2.5.                  When the Work Order expires or is terminated, Supplier shall issue a credit note to Citi for an amount equal to the total of any unused Service Level Credits no later than sixty (60) days after such expiration or termination, or within such other timeframe required pursuant to written notice by Citi.  Such credit note may be applied toward any other Work Orders.

 

7.3.                            Service Level Termination Event.  Notwithstanding the application of any Service Level Credits, Citi shall also retain all other rights and remedies available to Citi under this Agreement or at law or in equity, including the right to terminate any specific Service or Work Order for cause pursuant to Section 2.2.2(a) (For Cause) of the Agreement if:

 

7.3.1.                  Supplier fails to meet the same Service Level’s Performance Target for [***************] Reporting Windows or any [****************] out of any [******************] Reporting Windows; or

 

7.3.2.                  Service Level Credits earned by Citi and, in the case of Interim Reporting, the Service Level Credits that Citi would have earned during such month if Sections 7.1 and 7.2 applied to Interim Reporting [****************************] for [****************] or [***********] out of any period of [*****************] Reporting Windows; or

 

7.3.3.                  In any period of [*****************], Citi has earned Service Level Credits that, together with any Service Level Credits that Citi would have earned during such months if Sections 7.1 and 7.2 applied to Interim Reporting, [*************************************************************].

 

8.              Root Cause Analysis.  Each time Supplier fails to meet a Performance Target for a Service Level or KPI, Supplier shall promptly:

 

8.1.                            Conduct a root cause analysis of the failure and deliver to Citi a written report identifying such root cause(s),

 

8.2.                            Discuss with Citi the root cause(s) of the failure and Supplier’s position with regard to such root cause(s),

 

8.3.                            Correct the problem and begin meeting such Service Level as soon as practicable, and

 

8.4.                            Regularly advise Citi of the status of such corrective efforts.  All Service Level Metrics remain in effect notwithstanding Supplier’s use of commercially reasonable practices to correct any performance problem.

 

9.              Changes to Service Levels

 

9.1.                            Citi may make additions, modifications and deletions to Service Level Metrics or KPIs (and their Performance Targets) under any Work Order by giving written notice to Supplier at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the proposed addition, modification or deletion.  The Parties will reach mutual agreement to any changes pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 9.2 of this Appendix 7 (Service Levels).

 

9.1.1.                  Unless otherwise agreed for a specific Work Order, Performance Targets for New Work Orders, for Existing Work Orders from and after December 31, 2015, and

 

254



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

for any renewals of Existing Work Orders prior to such date shall be set as follows.

 

9.1.1.1.                    Where Citi or one of its other service providers has collected four (4) or more months of performance data relevant to the Service or Service Level, the Performance Target shall be set based on [*************************] (or, if [**************************************************] for which data is available).

 

9.1.1.2.   Where [***********************] data is available for a particular Service or Service Level, Supplier will provide Citi with information on the [**************************] to [*******] for the same or similar Services for other engagements (within and outside of Citi) for the purpose of developing appropriate Service Levels Metrics.  The Parties will attempt, in good faith, to agree on Service Level Metrics using [*********], as well as [********************************].

 

9.1.1.2.1.                                              If the Supplier fails to provide the necessary benchmark data, or the Parties cannot reach agreement as set forth above, Citi will assign a Performance Target using the performance data Citi has collected from its other service providers, industry standards, and other third party research.

 

9.1.2.                  Citi and the Supplier may mutually agree to modify existing Service Level Metrics or to add new Service Level Metrics pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of this Appendix 7.  Any change to Service Level Metrics will be subject to Citi’s review and written approval.

 

9.1.3.                  When adding or deleting a Service Level, Citi will modify the Service Level Credit Allocation to ensure the total Allocation Pool for all Service Levels remains equal [******].  Modification of the Service Level Credit Allocations will not require any new or additional baselining of the Service Levels or any change in the Fees.

 

9.2.                            Eligibility for Upward Adjustment.

 

9.2.1.                  Citi expects Supplier to continuously improve its performance capabilities resulting from the use of improved technologies and processes to perform the Services.

 

9.2.2.                  Whenever the average of the measurements across the previous [*************] has exceeded (i.e., has improved, it being understood that, for instance, having a smaller percentage of errors than the maximum number specified in a Service Level is exceeding that Service Level) the existing Performance Target for a Service Level, Citi may, on thirty (30) days’ notice, increase the Performance Targets for that Service Level for future Reporting Windows to the average of the measurements for the [*******************], but shall not increase the Performance Target by more than [****************] of the difference between the then-current Performance Target and the ideal level, which:  (a) would be [*****************] measured in percentage for which a higher percentage is better for Citi (e.g., a minimum accuracy level), (b) [******************] measured in percentage for which a lower percentage is better for Citi (e.g., a not-to-exceed inaccuracy level), (c) [*********************] for Performance Targets not measured in percentage for which the Performance Target is a minimum level and (d) [***************] amount for Performance Targets not measured in percentage where the Performance Target is a not-to-exceed level (e.g., 0 Working Days where the Performance Target is that something must be accomplished within 3 Working Days).

 

9.2.2.1.        For example, in the instance of a Service Level where the existing [****************] and the average measured performance (as calculated under this Appendix) of the [*************************], the Performance Target may not be increased by Citi to an at least percentage higher than [****].

 

255



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

9.2.3.                  If the average measurement for the [**********************] is [***************], it being understood that, for instance, having a larger percentage of errors than the maximum number specified in a Service Level is [*****] than the Performance Target), the Performance Target will [*********] and [*****************].

 

10.       Excused Events

 

10.1.                     Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3 below of this Appendix 7, Supplier will be excused for failure to meet a Performance Target, and such failure will not be used for purposes of calculating Service Level Credits to the extent that such failure is caused by any one or more of the following (each, an “Excused Event”):

 

10.1.1.           a force majeure event

 

10.1.2.           a material breach of the Agreement by Citi, the willful misconduct of Citi or its Personnel, or a violation of law by Citi or its Personnel.

 

10.1.3.           Citi’s failure to perform or delay in performing a Citi responsibility set forth in the Agreement or the Work Order to provide any Citi resources, or to perform one of its responsibilities that has a direct, significant adverse effect on Supplier’s ability to provide the Services in accordance with the applicable Service Level

 

10.1.4.           a failure of Citi’s third party supplier responsible for performing a third party responsibility that has a direct, significant adverse effect on Supplier’s ability to provide the Services in accordance with the applicable Service Level

 

10.2.                     In order for Sections 10.1.3 and 10.1.4 of this Appendix 7 to apply, Supplier must demonstrate that Citi’s or said third party’s failure or delay was the direct cause of Supplier’s inability to perform in accordance with the applicable Service Level and that such failure or delay is not attributable to Supplier’s failure or delay in performing any obligation.

 

10.3.                     To qualify for any Excused Event as described hereunder, Supplier must take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of delays in performance or failures to perform, must notify Citi and escalate concerns to Citi management in a timely manner, and must provide to Citi satisfactory (in Citi’s reasonable judgment) evidence of the applicability of the claimed Excused Event.  Supplier must further document (in a Ticket or otherwise) the event and the steps taken, and must retain responsibility for seeing it through to resolution

Severity 2 Ticket Performance

 

Supplier’s ability to respond to/ acknowledge, escalate, resolve and/or analyze Severity 2 Tickets

 

Severity 2 Ticket Performance% = [(Number of Severity 2 Tickets that adhered to the performance requirement for the given period)/(Number of total Severity 2 Tickets for the given period)] *100

Severity 3 Ticket Performance

 

Supplier’s ability to respond to/ acknowledge, escalate, resolve, and/or analyze Severity 3 Tickets

 

Severity 3 Ticket Performance% = [(Number of Severity 3 Tickets that adhered to the performance requirement for the given period)/(Number of total Severity 3 Tickets for the given period)] *100

Severity 4 Ticket Performance

 

Supplier’s ability to respond to/ acknowledge, escalate, resolve and/or analyze Severity 4 Tickets

 

Severity 4 Ticket Performance% = [(Number of Severity 4 Tickets that adhered to the performance requirement for the given period)/(Number of total Severity 4 Tickets for the given period)] *100

Overall Ticket Performance

 

Supplier’s ability to respond to/ acknowledge, escalate, monitor and/or resolve overall Tickets.

Resolution may be measured as (i) overall resolution, (ii) resolution without rework (i.e., first time right) and/or (iii) resolution upon first contact with end-user (i.e., first contact resolution).

 

Overall Ticket Performance% = [(Number of Tickets that adhered to the assigned performance requirement for the given period)/(Number of total Tickets for the given period)] *100

When the Performance Component is:

·    First Time Right, the performance requirement measured is the number of Tickets resolved correctly on the first occurrence / notification, without requiring rework

 

·    First Contact Resolution, the performance requirement measured is the number of Tickets resolved upon the first contact with the end-user

 

·    Alerts and Notification Emails Monitoring, the performance requirement measured is the number of alerts and notification emails correctly monitored as per the defined schedule. For the purpose of this performance measurement, the “number of total Tickets” is the count of alerts and notification emails for which the monitoring requirement has been defined

Batch Job Success Rate

 

Supplier’s ability to successfully monitor and/or complete batches and/or feeds within the defined schedule

 

Batch Job Success Rate% = [(Number of batches and/or feeds successfully monitored and/or completed in the production environment as per the defined schedule for the given period) / (Number of total batches and/or feeds scheduled in the production environment for the given period)] * 100

Rework of Document Based Deliverables

 

Supplier’s ability to provide Deliverables that meet Acceptance Criteria.  This KPI will capture a measure of the Deliverables provided by Supplier to Citi that do not meet the Acceptance Criteria and require rework.

 

Rework of Document Based Deliverables% = [(The number of document-based Deliverables rejected or returned for revision(1)) / (The total number of document-based Deliverables provided)] *100

If a document-based Deliverable is rejected or returned for revision more than once, each rejection shall be counted separately. In other words, a document-based Deliverable returned twice before meeting the Acceptance Criteria shall be counted as two returns. The total number of Deliverables, however, shall count each Deliverable only once; no matter how many times an item is returned.

Test Preparation/Design Productivity Improvement

 

Supplier’s ability to increase the number of test cases prepared/designed (by complexity) in a day.  Supplier is expected to improve such productivity over a six month period from the baselined data.  Baselined data shall be defined as of the Work Order Commencement Date, and shall be reset semi-annually.

 

Test Preparation/Design Productivity Improvement = {[(Current number of test cases prepared/designed per day) - (Baseline number of test cases prepared/designed per day)] / (Baseline number of test cases prepared/designed per day)} * 100

Test Execution Productivity Improvement

 

Supplier’s ability to increase the number of test cases executed (by complexity) in a day.  Supplier is expected to improve such productivity over a six month period from the baselined data. Baselined data shall be defined as of the Work Order Commencement Date, and shall be reset semi-annually.

Appendix 13 — Confidentiality

 

1.                                      Supplier’s Confidential Information.  Supplier’s “Confidential Information” means and refers to all materials provided by Supplier pursuant to any business, or in contemplation of any potential business, under this Agreement, a Work Order or otherwise involving Supplier’s provision of services, software or products to Citi or its Affiliates that are expressly identified or marked by Supplier as “confidential”.  If Supplier intends to supply Confidential Information for use by Citi in connection with any particular services, software or products, then Supplier will provide Citi with a written summary of all of Supplier’s Confidential Information prior to Supplier’s disclosure to Citi.

 

2.                                      Citi’s Confidential Information.  Citi’s “Confidential Information” means and refers to all tangible or intangible information and materials, in any form or medium (and without regard to whether the information or materials are owned by Citi or by a third party), whether provided or disclosed to Supplier by Citi or its Affiliate, or accessed, observed or otherwise obtained by Supplier from Citi or its Affiliates (pursuant to any business, or in contemplation of any potential business, under this Agreement, a Work Order or otherwise involving Supplier’s provision of services, software or products to Citi or its Affiliates), that satisfies at least one of the following criteria:

 

2.1                               Information or materials related to Citi’s, a Citi Affiliate’s, or any of their respective customers’ business, trade secrets, customers (including identities, characteristics and activities), business plans, strategies, forecasts or forecast assumptions, operations, methods of doing business, records, finances, assets, technology (including software, data bases, data processing or communications networking systems), data or information or materials that reveal research, technology, practices, procedures, processes, methodologies, know how, or other systems or controls by which Citi’s or a Citi Affiliate’s products, services, applications and methods of operations or doing business are developed, conducted or operated, and all information or materials derived there from or based thereon;

 

2.2                               Information or materials designated or identified as confidential by Citi or a Citi Affiliate, whether by letter or by an appropriate proprietary stamp or legend, prior to or at the time the information or materials are disclosed by Citi or a Citi Affiliate to Supplier;

 

2.3                               Information disclosed orally or visually, or written or other form of tangible information or materials without an appropriate letter, proprietary stamp or legend, if it would be apparent to a reasonable person, familiar with the financial services industry, that the information or materials are of a confidential or proprietary nature; or,

3.                                      Duty of Care and Use Restrictions.  The Party receiving Confidential Information (“Receiving Party”) of the other Party (“Disclosing Party”) will exercise at least the same degree of care with respect to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that the Receiving Party exercises to protect its own Confidential Information; and, at a minimum, the Receiving Party will adopt, maintain and follow security practices and procedures that are sufficient to safeguard the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from any: (i) unauthorized disclosure, access, use or

modification; (ii) misappropriation, theft, destruction, or loss; or (iii) inability to account for Confidential Information.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Receiving Party will only use or reproduce the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent necessary to enable the Receiving Party to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached, or in the case of Citi, to exercise its rights as contemplated by the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.  In addition, the Receiving Party will disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to those of the Receiving Party’s (or in the case of Citi, also to its Affiliates’) Personnel who have a “need to know” Confidential Information (and only to the extent necessary) in order to fulfill the purposes contemplated by the Agreement.  Supplier will ensure that each of its Personnel is bound to uphold Supplier’s obligations of confidentiality.  Supplier further acknowledges that Citi and its Affiliates are subject to policies (copies of which are made available to Supplier upon request) and Applicable Law which governs and restricts the collection, storage, processing, dissemination and use of Personal Information, including any Personal Information relating to Citi’s and its Affiliates’ respective customers, suppliers and Personnel.  Supplier agrees to collect, store, process, disseminate or use any Personal Information obtained from Citi or a Citi Affiliate: (a) only as expressly directed by Citi or a Citi Affiliate in writing (either within the provisions of the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached or otherwise), (b) in accordance with any Applicable Law, and (c) in accordance with the provisions of Citi’s and its Affiliates’ policies where relevant to the Services.  Where Citi is subject to specific obligations in respect of the processing of Personal Information, Supplier will execute all documents and do all acts as Citi may reasonably require in order for it to comply with Citi’s or a Citi Affiliate’s data protection obligations.

 

3.1                               If Supplier is engaged in any activities relating, directly or indirectly, to the accounts of any customer of Citi or a Citi Affiliate, then Supplier will ensure that it maintains and follows written and comprehensive security practices and procedures that are sufficient to detect patterns, practices or specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of an actual or attempted theft or misappropriation of Personal Information.  Supplier agrees to immediately report all incidences or suspicious activities to Citi.

 

3.2                               If any business contemplated under this Agreement involves Supplier or its Personnel having access to Personal Information, then Supplier will comply, and will ensure that its Personnel comply, with all information security requirements that apply to Supplier and/or Citi under Applicable Law with respect to the protection and treatment of Personal Information as well as prevailing industry information security standards. At a minimum, Supplier will undertake the following measures with respect to Citi Personal Information received, observed or otherwise accessed by Supplier: (i) develop, implement, maintain, and monitor a comprehensive, written information security program that contains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the security and confidentiality of Personal Information in electronic, paper form or other media and protect against: (a) any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Personal Information, and (b) unauthorized access to, or use of, Personal Information; (ii) conduct a risk assessment to identify and assess reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks to the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Personal Information and evaluate and improve, where necessary, the effectiveness of its safeguards; (iii) implement appropriate access controls to limit access to Personal Information; (iv) educate and train Supplier’s Personnel regarding information security practices and procedures, including the requirements of Supplier’s information security program, as well as any special requirements of Citi; (v) appropriately

 

279



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

restrict the storage of Personal Information on laptops, portable devices or other portable media and where Personal Information must be stored on devices, encrypt all Personal Information stored on laptops and, where technically feasible, on other portable devices and portable media; (vi) dispose of Personal Information in a way so that it may not be decoded, read or decompiled; and (vii) utilize industry standard passwords, firewalls and anti-malware measures to protect Personal Information stored on computer systems. In addition to the foregoing, with regard to any Special Personal Information, as defined, accessed or managed by Supplier, Supplier will encrypt all Special Personal Information that will travel across public networks or that is transmitted wirelessly.  “Special Personal Information” is: (1) an individual’s Social Security number (or the equivalent (if any) for countries outside of the United States); or (2) any combination of any individual’s name (including first or middle initial and last name) and any one or more of the following data relating to the individual:  (x) individual taxpayer identification number, driver’s license number, passport number or any other government-issued identification number; (y) account number (including any credit card number, debit card number, or other financial account number, as well as any other customer account number); and/or (z) medical or health information or records.

 

4.              Removal from Premises.  Supplier will not remove or transmit Citi’s Confidential Information from Citi’s premises without, in each case, obtaining Citi’s express prior written consent.  If any of Citi’s Confidential Information must leave Citi’s premises (through the mail, magnetic tape, line transmission or any other communication media) in order for Supplier to provide any Services, Supplier will use, and will cause its Personnel to use, the highest degree of care to safeguard Confidential Information from intrusion, tampering, theft, loss, and breaches of confidentiality.

 

5.              Off Shore Access and Storage.  Supplier will not, without Citi’s express prior written approval, send any Citi Confidential Information that contains Personal Information to, store Citi Confidential Information that contains Personal Information at, or provide access to Citi Confidential Information that contains Personal Information from, any facility or data center outside of the country from which Citi Confidential Information was collected.

 

6.              Legends.  The Receiving Party will not remove any copyright nor other proprietary notice of confidentiality contained on or included in the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and will reproduce any notice on any reproduction, modification or translation of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

 

7.                                      Notification.  If the Receiving Party becomes aware of any threatened or actual violation of the obligations or restrictions agreed to by the Receiving Party with respect to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will immediately notify the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party will, and will assist the Disclosing Party with its efforts to, cure or remedy the violation. The Receiving Party is liable to the Disclosing Party for any non-compliance by its Personnel.

 

8.                                      Exclusions.  The obligations of confidentiality assumed under the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached will not apply to the extent the Receiving Party can demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, that the information:

 

280

8.1                               is or has become generally known by persons engaged in the technology or financial services industries, without any breach by the Receiving Party of the provisions of the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached or any other applicable agreement between the Parties;

 

8.2                               was rightfully in the possession of the Receiving Party, without confidentiality restrictions, prior to the Receiving Party’s receipt from the Disclosing Party;

 

8.3                               was rightfully acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party who was entitled to disclose the information, without confidentiality or proprietary restrictions;

 

8.4                               was independently developed by the Receiving Party without using or referring to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or

 

8.5                               is subject to a written agreement under which the Disclosing Party authorized the Receiving Party to disclose the subject information.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as set forth in this Section 8 of this Appendix, the exclusions above will not apply to Personal Information.

 

9.                                      Legally Required Disclosures.  The obligations of confidentiality assumed under the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached will not apply to the extent that the Receiving Party is required to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information under any Applicable Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Supplier is served with a request from one of the aforementioned authorities, Supplier will:

 

9.1                               promptly notify Citi of the request or order in order to provide Citi an opportunity to seek a protective order;

 

9.2                               provide Citi with reasonable cooperation in its efforts to resist the disclosure, upon reasonable request by Citi and at Citi’s expense; and

 

9.3                               disclose only the portion of Citi’s Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed under Applicable Law.

 

10.                               Supplier Personal Data.  Supplier acknowledges that Citi and its Affiliates are global companies and may, from time to time, collect, store, process, disseminate or use information that relates to Supplier, or any person (natural person or legal entity) that Supplier assigns or engages (whether directly or indirectly) that could be used, either directly or indirectly, to identify any person (whether a natural person or a legal entity) (all information collectively “Supplier Personal Data”) to exercise Citi’s and its Affiliates’ rights or fulfill their obligations under the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.  Supplier consents, and will ensure that each person assigned or engaged to interact with Citi or a Citi Affiliate in connection with the subject matter of the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached consents, to the collection, storage, processing, dissemination or use of Supplier Personal Data by Citi and a Citi Affiliate for all purposes relating to business contemplated under the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.

 

11.                               Accounting for Confidential Information.  Except as otherwise specified in the

 

281



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

Agreement to which this Appendix is attached, upon the request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will return (or purge its systems and files of, and suitably account for) all Confidential Information supplied to, or otherwise obtained by, the Receiving Party in connection with the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.  The Receiving Party will certify in writing that it has fully complied with its obligations under this Appendix E within seven (7) days following the date it receives a request from the Disclosing Party for certification.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11 of this Appendix will not be construed to: (i) require Citi to return the Software, any Documentation, any information or materials provided by Supplier or any of Supplier’s Confidential Information that was provided as part of, or in conjunction with, the Software or Services, or (ii) limit either Party’s right to seek relief for damages that are caused by the other Party’s default.

 

12.                               Information Security Assessment.  Supplier will permit representatives of Citi, upon prior notice and at reasonable times, to examine and verify compliance with Supplier’s obligations under the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached with respect: (i) to the safeguarding and use of Citi’s Confidential Information, and (ii) the detection, prevention, and mitigation of an actual or attempted theft or misappropriation of Personal Information of customers of Citi or a Citi Affiliate.  Each examination and verification may include conducting information security assessments (“ISA”) of Supplier and of Supplier’s practices and procedures.  ISAs may consist of: (a) security questionnaires requiring responses from Supplier or its Personnel, (b) visits to locations where (or from where) Citi’s Confidential Information may be stored, processed, administered or otherwise accessed, and (c) review of all records and files in Supplier’s or its Personnel’s possession relating to the purposes above.  Citi will endeavor to have ISAs conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Supplier’s business operations.  Should the findings of an ISA disclose or indicate security problems or concerns, Citi will detail all findings in a notice to Supplier, and work with Supplier to identify means for correcting the problems and addressing the concerns to Citi’s reasonable satisfaction.  Supplier’s failure to correct the problems or adequately address the concerns expeditiously will constitute a material breach of the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.  Citi acknowledges that the findings of any ISA is deemed to be Supplier’s Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier grants Citi the right to distribute and use the findings of any ISA with any Citi Affiliate, auditor or Regulator as may be necessary to transact business with Supplier or to fulfill any compliance or information security process or policy of Citi or its Affiliates.

 

13.                               Security Incident Reporting Process.  In order to: (i) ensure that both Parties have the immediate ability to address, contain and mitigate any possible risk stemming from any actual, alleged or potential unauthorized access, disclosure, compromise or theft of Citi’s Confidential Information (including but not limited to, the unauthorized use of or access to Citi’s Systems, Personal Information, Special Personal Information or any other data of Citi and its Affiliates, improper handling or disposal of data, theft of information or technology assets, and/or the inadvertent or intentional disclosure of Citi’s Confidential Information), and (ii) ensure a consistent process for identifying, reporting, investigating and closing information security incidents, Supplier will develop, implement, document and maintain an information security incident reporting process (a “SIRP”).  The SIRP will: (a) provide an accurate and up-to-date list of Supplier and Citi Personnel to be contacted in the event of an actual or suspected information security incident, (b) detail incident severity definitions consistent with Citi’s policies, standards and processes, and (c) set specific escalation procedures and timeframes for same based upon the breach severity level of the actual or suspected information security incident.  At a minimum, the SIRP must: (1) mandate

 

282

that all of Supplier’s Personnel notify their management in the event that any of Supplier’s Personnel become aware of any action which indicates that there has been or may be an information security incident, and (2) mandate that an officer of Citi must be contacted immediately in the event of any actual or likely disclosure of Citi Confidential Information, in accordance with the aforementioned escalation procedure.

 

14.                               Identity Theft Red Flags.  Supplier acknowledges that various United States Regulators have issued rules and guidelines (sometimes referred to as Red Flag Guidelines and Regulations, and including those implementing section 114 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003), requiring financial institutions and creditors to develop and implement policies and procedures to detect, prevent, and mitigate patterns, practices and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of an actual or attempted theft or misappropriation of Personal Information.  Supplier will comply with Applicable Law and will assist Citi and Citi’s Affiliates` in every reasonable manner in their efforts to fulfill their respective obligations under Applicable Law.

Appendix 22.2 — Assurance of Compliance — (Export Control Laws)

 

I hereby acknowledge that as a condition for me being engaged by Citigroup, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries (collectively “Citigroup”), I must agree, and I do hereby agree, to comply with the laws and regulations of all of countries in which Citigroup conducts operations, and with the corporate policies and procedures promulgated by Citigroup that are designed to adhere to all such laws and regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I specifically agree to comply with all laws and regulations that regulate the importation or exportation of goods and technologies, and in particular, to comply with the Export Administration Regulations of the United States as they pertain to any technical data, computer software, or any product (or any part thereof), process, or service that is the direct product of any such technical data or computer software (hereinafter referred to collectively or individually without distinction as “Export Controlled Products”) to which I have access while engaged by Citigroup. In order to ensure my compliance, I shall not disclose, export, re-export or otherwise transfer (directly or indirectly) any Export Controlled Products without having first verified that Citigroup has received such prior written authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce or other appropriate agencies as may be required by applicable law or regulations. In addition, if I have any questions about any restrictions established by any applicable export control laws of any country, I will contact a Citigroup Export License Coordinator.

 

I acknowledge that the Export Administration Regulations of the United States prohibit the disclosure, exportation or re-exportation (directly or indirectly) of any Export Controlled Products: (i) to any country, or to any citizens or residents of any country, that is included within Country Group E:1 on Supplement No.1 to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C, part 740, as such Supplement No. 1 currently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time (hereinafter, Supplement No.1”), or (ii) to any country, or to any citizens or residents of any country, that is included within Country Group D:1 on Supplement No.1, if the Export Controlled Product is destined to a military end user or intended for any military use. I have been advised that a current version of Supplement 1 may be viewed by: (i) accessing the web site located at http://www.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/ear_data.html, (ii) scrolling down to “Part 740Spir - Supplement No. 1 to Part 740, Country Groups”, and (iii) clicking on the Download Format preferred.

 

I also acknowledge that certain computer software to which I may have access while engaged by Citigroup may contain encryption functionality controlled for “EI” purposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and that such computer software is subject to additional export control restrictions. Accordingly, in addition to the other obligations assumed above with regard to the disclosure, exportation or re-exportation of Export Controlled Products, I specifically agree (i) not to use any computer software containing encryption functionality for any purpose other than for Citigroup’s internal use (which may include the development of new computer software products), and (ii) not to disclose, export, re-export or otherwise transfer any computer software containing encryption functionality outside Citigroup or to any other destination or end user outside the United States or Canada without first verifying that such an export is legally authorized by regulation or by license.

 

I further acknowledge and agree that the obligations assumed under this Assurance of Compliance shall be binding upon me during my term of engagement with Citigroup and shall continue to bind me thereafter, and that my failure to comply with the requirements and restrictions set forth herein may expose me and Citigroup to severe criminal and administrative penalties and

Definitions

 

For the purposes of the Clauses:

 

(a)                                         ‘personal data’, ‘special categories of data’, ‘process/processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘data subject’ and ‘supervisory authority’ shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data(5);

 

(b)                                         the data exporter’ means the controller who transfers the personal data;

 

(c)                                          ‘the data importer’ means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC;

 

(d)                                         ‘the subprocessor’ means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;

 

(e)                                          the applicable data protection law means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;

 

(f)                                           ‘technical and organisational security measures’ means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

Clause 3

 

Third-party beneficiary clause

 

1.                                               The data subject can enforce against the data exporter this Clause, Clause 4(b) to (i), Clause 5(a) to (e), and (g) to (j), Clause 6(1) and (2), Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12 as third-party beneficiary.

 

2.                                               The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.

 

3.                                               The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

 

4.                                               The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law.

 

Clause 4

 

Obligations of the data exporter

 

The data exporter agrees and warrants:

 

(a)                                          that the processing, including the transfer itself, of the personal data has been and will continue to be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the applicable data protection law (and, where applicable, has been notified to the relevant authorities of the Member State where the data exporter is established) and does not violate the relevant provisions of that State;

 

(b)                                          that it has instructed and throughout the duration of the personal data processing services will instruct the data importer to process the personal data transferred only on the data exporter’s behalf and in accordance with the applicable data protection law and the Clauses;

 

(c)                                           that the data importer will provide sufficient guarantees in respect of the technical and organisational security measures specified in Exhibit 2 to this contract;

 

(d)                                          that after assessment of the requirements of the applicable data protection law, the security measures are appropriate to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing, and that these measures ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks

 

289

presented by the processing and the nature of the data to be protected having regard to the state of the art and the cost of their implementation;

 

(e)                                           that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;

 

(f)                                            that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC;

 

(g)                                          to forward any notification received from the data importer or any subprocessor pursuant to Clause 5(b) and Clause 8(3) to the data protection supervisory authority if the data exporter decides to continue the transfer or to lift the suspension;

 

(h)                                          to make available to the data subjects upon request a copy of the Clauses, with the exception of Exhibit 2, and a summary description of the security measures, as well as a copy of any contract for subprocessing services which has to be made in accordance with the Clauses, unless the Clauses or the contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information;

 

(i)                                              that, in the event of subprocessing, the processing activity is carried out in accordance with Clause 11 by a subprocessor providing at least the same level of protection for the personal data and the rights of data subject as the data importer under the Clauses; and

 

(j)                                             that it will ensure compliance with Clause 4(a) to (i).

 

Clause 5

 

Obligations of the data importer(6)

 

The data importer agrees and warrants:

 

(a)                                          to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its instructions and the Clauses; if it cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it agrees to inform promptly the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;

 

(b)                                          that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;

 


(6)         Mandatory requirements of the national legislation applicable to the data importer which do not go beyond what is necessary in a democratic society on the basis of one of the interests listed in Article 13(1) of Directive 95/46/EC, that is, if they constitute a necessary measure to safeguard national security, defence, public security, the prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences or of breaches of ethics for the regulated professions, an important economic or financial interest of the State or the protection of the data subject or the rights and freedoms of others, are not in contradiction with the standard contractual clauses. Some examples of such mandatory requirements which do not go beyond what is necessary in a democratic society are, inter alia, internationally recognised sanctions, tax-reporting requirements or anti-money-laundering reporting requirements.

(c)                                           that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Exhibit 2 before processing the personal data transferred;

 

(d)                                          that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:

 

(i)                          any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation,

 

(ii)                       any accidental or unauthorised access, and

 

(iii)                    any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;

 

(e)                                           to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with regard to the processing of the data transferred;

 

(f)                                            at the request of the data exporter to submit its data processing facilities for audit of the processing activities covered by the Clauses which shall be carried out by the data exporter or an inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality, selected by the data exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory authority;

 

(g)                                           to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Clauses, or any existing contract for subprocessing, unless the Clauses or contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information, with the exception of Exhibit 2 which shall be replaced by a summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;

 

(h)                                          that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its prior written consent;

 

(i)                                              that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11;

 

(j)                                             to send promptly a copy of any subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Clauses to the data exporter.

Liability

 

1.                                               The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.

 

2.                                               If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.

 

291



 

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT WERE OMITTED AND HAVE BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT; [***] DENOTES OMISSIONS

 

The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.

 

3.                                               If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

 

Clause 7

 

Mediation and jurisdiction

 

1.                                               The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:

(b)                       to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

 

2.                                               The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.

 

Clause 8

 

Cooperation with supervisory authorities

 

1.                                               The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.

 

2.                                               The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.

 

3.                                               The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).

Clause 9

 

Governing Law

 

The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established, namely [                                                                                                                                              ]

 

Clause 10

 

Variation of the contract

 

The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.

 

Clause 11

 

Subprocessing

 

1.                                               The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses(7). Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor’s obligations under such agreement.

 

2.                                               The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

 

3.                                               The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established, namely [                                                                                                                                              ]

 

4.                                               The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.

 


(7)         This requirement may be satisfied by the subprocessor co-signing the contract entered into between the data exporter and the data importer under this Decision.

Clause 12

 

Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

 

1.                                               The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.

 

2.                                               The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
