("EXULT") and UNISYS CORPORATION ("UNISYS").
WHEREAS, Unisys has engaged Exult to provide human resources and

WHEREAS, Exult has agreed to provide such Services in accordance with
the terms of this Master Agreement and the Service Agreements for a term of
seven (7) years;
WHEREAS, Unisys has agreed to provide, and Exult has agreed to use
internally and in its offerings to Exult clients, certain Unisys services and
products pursuant to the Master Subcontract; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this Master Agreement is to establish the
general terms and conditions applicable to Exult's provision of such services to
Unisys for which the Parties shall enter into specific Service Agreements.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the agreements set forth
below, Exult and Unisys hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1 AGREEMENT FRAMEWORK.
1.01 Purpose. The purpose of this Master Agreement is to establish
the general terms and conditions applicable to Exult's provision of human
resources services to Unisys and Unisys Affiliates for which Exult and Unisys
shall have entered into one or more Service Agreements to this Master Agreement
describing the responsibilities and obligations specific to the applicable
services, in the case of United States based services in a form substantially
similar to the form attached as Schedule P (the "US Service Agreement"), in the
case of services based in the United Kingdom and other countries, in forms
consistent with this Agreement (the "UK Service Agreement" and Other Service
Agreement(s)," respectively) (collectively, the "Service Agreements"). Unisys
and Exult intend that the Schedules for each Service Agreement will be in
substantially the form of the Schedules for the US Service Agreement.
1.02 Master Agreement. This Master Agreement is intended to serve as
a framework for the provision of services under one or more Service Agreements.
Exult shall only be obligated to provide those services agreed to under an
executed Service Agreement.
1.03 Service Agreements. Unless otherwise agreed by Unisys and Exult,
and subject to Section 4.02, below, Exult shall be Unisys provider of, and
Unisys shall purchase from Exult, Unisys requirements for the services described
in Schedule A to the US Service Agreement and the Other Service Agreements.
Unisys and Exult shall enter into one or more Service Agreements covering Unisys
service requirements. The Service Agreements shall reference and incorporate
this Master Agreement, and the terms and conditions set forth in this Master
Agreement shall govern Exult's provision of services under the Service
Agreements, except as they may be amended by a Service Agreement in respect of
the specific services being provided under such Service Agreement.

<PAGE> 9
ARTICLE 2 DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION.
2.01 Definitions. Unless otherwise defined in this Master Agreement
or a Service Agreement, the defined terms used in this Master Agreement and the
Service Agreements shall have the meanings specified in Schedule Z.
2.02 Interpretation. In this Master Agreement and the Schedules to
this Master Agreement, the Schedules to this Master Agreement shall be
incorporated into and deemed part of this Master Agreement and all references to
this Master Agreement shall include the Schedules to this Master Agreement.
(1) The Article and Section headings, Table of Contents and Table of
Schedules are for reference and convenience only and shall not be
considered in the interpretation of this Master Agreement or the Service
Agreements.
(2) In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Master Agreement
and the terms of a Service Agreement, the terms of the Service Agreement
shall prevail; provided that no Service Agreement may amend the Master
Term.
ARTICLE 3 TERM.
3.01 Master Agreement. The term of this Master Agreement shall
commence on the Master Agreement Date and continue until [***]* (the "Initial
Master Agreement Expiration Date"), unless otherwise renewed pursuant to Section
3.03 or terminated pursuant to the terms of this Master Agreement (the "Master
Term").
3.02 Service Agreements. Exult shall provide the Services during the
applicable Service Agreement Terms. The Initial Service Agreement Expiration
Date with respect to each Service Agreement shall be the same as the Initial
Master Agreement Expiration Date.
3.03 Renewal. This Master Agreement may be renewed for up to [***]*
(each a "Renewal Period") in accordance with this Section. Unless this Master
Agreement is terminated earlier, Unisys shall notify Exult pursuant to this
Section at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Initial Master
Agreement Expiration Date, or if in the first Renewal Period at least one
hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration date of the first Renewal
Period, as to whether Unisys desires to renew this Master Agreement. If Unisys
elects in writing to renew, is not then in default of any of its material
obligations, and no circumstances exist that would constitute material default
with notice or lapse of time, or both, at the time of notice or on the effective
date of renewal, then
(1) the Agreement shall be renewed for the relevant Renewal Period, upon the
terms then in effect, including all changes and amendments, at the rates
in effect as of the Initial Master Agreement Expiration Date or the
expiration date of the first Renewal Period, as applicable, plus any
adjustments determined by operation or application of the relevant
adjustment or other provisions of the applicable Service Agreements and
Schedules for the period following the relevant expiration date; or if

(2) this Master Agreement shall extend for up to an additional [***]* after
the Initial Master Agreement Expiration Date or the expiration date of
the first Renewal Period, as applicable, during which time Exult shall
provide the Termination Assistance Services in accordance with Section
18.04, below.
ARTICLE 4 SERVICES.
4.01 Generally. Commencing as of the Master Agreement Effective Date
and continuing throughout the Master Term, Exult shall be the provider of, and

(4) Exult shall appoint individuals to the Project Staff with suitable
training and skills to perform the Services.
4.05 Market Awareness. Exult shall periodically meet with Unisys in
accordance with the procedures agreed upon by the Parties to inform Unisys of
any new human resource and related services that Exult is developing or trends
of which Exult becomes aware that could reasonably be expected to have an impact
on Unisys business. The acquisition and implementation of any such new service
by Exult at Unisys request shall be through the process set forth in Section
9.01.
4.06 Turnover. If unusual turnover or attrition among Unisys
employees during the Transition Period for any Service Agreement materially and
adversely affects Unisys ability to deliver compensation, benefits or recruiting
services prior to the relevant Process Take On Date, then upon Unisys request,
Exult shall use its best efforts to minimize the disruption in those services by
accelerating or re-sequencing transition activities and taking other reasonable
measures to assure uninterrupted performance of those services provided, that
(i) Unisys takes all reasonable measures to minimize turnover or attrition
through incentives to affected employees and otherwise, and (ii) Unisys pays
Exult for any material, incremental effort required to carry out the purposes of
this Section 4.06 at Exult's then-current rates for such services (including any
overtime, travel and living, or other unusual costs incurred because of the
urgency of the situation).
4.07 Human Resources. The transition of employees of Unisys to Exult
shall be effected in accordance with the terms of Schedule J to the Service
Agreement.
4.08 Steering Committee. Promptly following execution of this

<PAGE> 12

Laws, and advise the other of changes in Laws that concern the conduct of its
business and affect performance of the Services. Each Party shall obtain and
maintain all governmental approvals required to conduct its business and perform
its obligations under this Agreement and all Service Agreements.
4.12 Transition Functions. In connection with each Service Agreement,
each Party shall perform all functions and services within its responsibility
and necessary to accomplish the transition of the services in accordance with
the relevant Transition Plan without causing a material disruption in Unisys
business. For each Service Agreement, each Party shall designate a transition
manager responsible for managing the transition, and who shall keep the other
Party's transition manager (or his or her designee) advised of the progress and
performance of the transition.
4.13 Subcontractors. [***]*
(1) No subcontracting shall release Exult from its responsibility for its
obligations under this Master Agreement or any Service Agreement. Exult
shall be responsible for the work and designated activities of each of
its subcontractors, including compliance with applicable terms of this
Master Agreement and any Service Agreement. Exult shall be responsible
for all payments to its subcontractors.
(2) Exult shall promptly pay for all services, materials, equipment and
labor used by Exult in providing the Services and shall indemnify Unisys
from, and defend Unisys against, any liabilities or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) connected with Exult's failure
to promptly pay for such services, materials, equipment or labor and
shall keep the premises of Unisys free of all liens. (Indemnification
procedures shall be governed by Section 19.06, below.)
(3) All subcontractors shall comply with the provisions of this Master
Agreement and the relevant Service Agreement such as provisions
concerning confidentiality, protection of customer data, compliance with
customer policies, audit, change control, security, use of facilities
and such other requirements as may be required or appropriate for
subcontractors.
(4) The foregoing requirements do not apply to (a) subcontracts involving
expenditure of less than [***]* or (b) incidental engagement by Exult of
individual experts or consultants as independent contractors or to
outsourcing by Exult of routine functions unrelated to performance of
the Services (e.g., custodial and security services at Exult
facilities).
4.14 Services to Competitors. Exult's Key Employees substantially
engaged in the performance of Services, who (a) are identified in Schedule I, or
other agreed lists that may be appended to the relevant Service Agreement, as
they may be updated from time to time by mutual agreement, and (b) have access
to Confidential Information concerning Unisys business and affairs, will not be
permitted to provide similar services to Listed Unisys Competitors while they
perform Services, and for a period of [***]* thereafter. Exult will establish
and maintain procedures reasonably satisfactory to Unisys to restrict access to
the data and Confidential Information of Unisys, so that no competitors of
Unisys who may receive services from Exult have access to any such Confidential
Information (but Unisys shall be responsible for the security of all such data
--------------------
*Confidential information has been omitted.

<PAGE> 13
stored for Exult in Unisys equipment and facilities). Unisys Listed Competitors
are the companies listed on Schedule I, and their respective successors. Unisys
may update Schedule I to identify other competitors once in each Contract Year,
by written notice, but (i) the total number of Listed Unisys Competitors shall
not exceed [***]* and (ii) Unisys may not add to the list of Listed Unisys
Competitors any entity that is, at the time of modification of the list, already
a client of Exult.
ARTICLE 5 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION.
5.01 Transferred Agreements. Subject to Unisys obtaining and
complying with the Consents, Exult shall have financial and administrative
responsibility during each Service Agreement Term for the Transferred Agreements
listed in Schedule D of each Service Agreement. Exult shall be responsible for
the performance of all obligations of Unisys under the Transferred Agreements,
including payment of all related expenses attributable to the period on or after
the applicable Service Agreement Effective Date, to the extent that such
obligations were disclosed to Exult on or before the applicable Service
Agreement Effective Date through receipt by Exult of a copy of the relevant
documents, including the applicable Transferred Agreements. Exult may from time
to time terminate any Transferred Agreement and Exult shall reimburse Unisys for
any termination charges arising out of any such terminations, to the extent paid
or payable by Unisys.
5.02 Managed Agreements. Subject to Unisys obtaining and complying
with the Consents, Exult shall manage, administer and maintain the Managed
Agreements listed in Schedule D of each Service Agreement. Exult shall provide
Unisys with reasonable notice of any renewal, termination or cancellation dates
and fees with respect to the Managed Agreements. Exult shall not renew, modify,
terminate or cancel, or request or grant any consents or waivers under, any
Managed Agreement without Unisys consent. Any fees or charges imposed upon
Unisys in connection with any such renewal, modification, termination or
cancellation, or consent or waiver under the Managed Agreements, shall be paid
or discharged, as applicable, by the Party requesting such renewal,
modification, termination or cancellation. Exult shall promptly notify Unisys of
any breach of, or misuse or fraud in connection with, any Managed Agreements of
which Exult becomes aware and shall cooperate with Unisys to prevent or mitigate
any such breach, misuse or fraud. Exult shall pay all amounts due for any
penalties or charges (including amounts due to a third party as a result of
Exult's failure promptly to notify Unisys pursuant to the preceding sentence),
associated taxes, legal expenses and other incidental expenses incurred by
Unisys as a result of Exult's non-performance of its obligations concerning the
Managed Agreements.
5.03 Unisys Obligations. Commencing as of the Master Agreement Date,
Unisys shall not enter into any new or amend any existing agreements or
arrangements, written or oral, affecting or impacting the Third Party Contracts,
without Exult's consent. Unisys represents and warrants that all obligations
with respect to the Third Party Contracts accruing prior to or attributable to
periods prior to the applicable Service Agreement Effective Date have been
satisfied.
ARTICLE 6 SERVICE LEVELS.
6.01 Quality and Service Levels. Exult will deliver good quality
service that meets or exceeds agreed Service Levels specified by Service
Agreements. Where no specific Service Levels apply, Exult will use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide services that meet
--------------------
*Confidential information has been omitted.
6
<PAGE> 14
or exceed industry standards. All Services shall be performed by individuals
with suitable training and skills.
6.02 Service Levels. Exult shall report on and provide such data as
is necessary to support the Reporting Service Levels set forth in Schedule B to
the Service Agreements. Exult shall comply with the Key Performance Indicators
set forth in Schedule B to the Service Agreements.
6.03 Reporting. Exult shall provide to Unisys performance reports on
a monthly basis in the format to be determined during the Transition Period.
6.04 Remedies. If Exult fails to meet a Key Performance Indicator for
any Service, then Exult shall (a) complete performance of the Service as near as
commercially reasonably possible to the applicable Key Performance Indicator;
(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the problem that caused it to
fail to meet such Key Performance Indicator and (c) pay to Unisys the Service
Credits, if any, in accordance with Schedules B and C to the Service Agreements.
Payment of Service Credits shall be Unisys sole monetary remedy, except in cases
where the failure to meet Key Performance Indicators constitutes material
breach, and in such circumstances, Unisys may recover its full damages (less any
Service Credits actually paid, and subject to applicable limitations on Exult's
liability). The Service Credits shall not otherwise limit Unisys rights to
equitable relief or to terminate any Service Agreement or this Master Agreement.
Service Credits are liquidated damages. Service Credits are reasonable in the
circumstances existing at the time of this Agreement, and the relevant Service
Agreement(s).
6.05 Exclusions. Degradations of performance shall not constitute
Exult's failure to meet applicable Service Levels to the extent that any such
failure is attributable to any one or more of the following causes:
(1) Force Majeure Events;
(2) Unisys acts or omissions (including, among other things, violations of
Law, willful misconduct, negligent acts or breaches of this Master
Agreement, a Service Agreement, deficiencies in Unisys services
performed for Exult in connection with this Master Agreement or any
Service Agreement, or matters subject to indemnification thereunder);
(3) Acts or omissions of Unisys third party contractors other than Exult or
Exult Affiliates or subcontractors (including, among other things,
violations of Law, negligent acts or breaches of applicable agreements);
(4) Infringements of third party proprietary rights by Unisys or its third
party contractors other than Exult or Exult Affiliates or
subcontractors;
(5) Service or resource reductions requested or approved by Unisys and
agreed by the Parties through Change Control Management;
(6) Unisys failure to take corrective action within Unisys responsibility
reasonably requested and identified by Exult in writing to Unisys as
essential to maintain Service Levels; and
(7) Failures to meet Service Levels while operating under a disaster
recovery plan.
7
<PAGE> 15
Exult will make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the
foregoing circumstances.
6.06 Baseline Surveys. Upon request, Exult shall engage an
independent third party, approved by Unisys, to conduct a baseline survey of
customer satisfaction among Unisys employees who receive Services. The form,
content and administration of such baseline surveys shall be subject to Unisys
approval. Costs of the survey shall be apportioned as mutually agreed in
writing.
6.07 Periodic Surveys. At such intervals as Unisys may reasonably
determine, Exult shall, upon Unisys request, engage an unaffiliated third party
approved by Unisys to conduct a customer satisfaction survey in respect of those
aspects of the Services designated by Unisys. The survey shall, at a minimum,
cover a representative sampling of Unisys employees and senior management of
Unisys, in each case as specified by Unisys. The timing, content, scope and
method of the survey shall be consistent with the relevant baseline survey and
subject to Unisys approval. Exult agrees that (a) increased measured customer
satisfaction shall be a key performance indicator [***]* and (b) customer
satisfaction metrics may be measured as Key Performance Indicators (and subject
to payment of Service Credits when and to the extent agreed in writing in
Schedule B to a Service Agreement). In the event that Unisys disputes the
results of the customer satisfaction survey, Unisys may engage a third party,
reasonably acceptable to Exult, to conduct the customer satisfaction survey
pursuant to this Section.
6.08 [***]*
6.09 Benchmarking Report and Adjustments.
(1) The Benchmarker shall render a written report to both Parties.
Comparisons with market measures of quality and cost shall be based
upon a statistically meaningful sample, and normalized to account for
investments in assets, transfers of personnel, variations in
configurations, unusual or unique customer requirements, unusual or
unique aspects of Exult's Services, provision of certain services by
Unisys, and other, similar factors. Benchmarker's methods for
normalization and the sample size shall be subject to the Parties'
approval.
(2) If the Benchmarker determines that Services are materially below
market standards of quality, Exult shall within [***]* after
receiving the Benchmarker's report, prepare a written plan for review
with the Management Committee describing measures Exult proposes to
take to improve quality and meet the standards specified by Section
6.01, above, and, upon approval of such a plan, diligently carry out
the plan, and such other measures as may be agreed to improve
quality.
(3) If the Benchmarker determines that charges for Services materially
exceed market rates for similar volumes of similar services
(normalized, as provided above), then Exult shall adjust its charges
to market rates or meet with the Steering Committee to discuss
adjustments of its charges. If the Parties are unable to agree upon
adjustments in Exult charges within [***]* after receiving the
Benchmarker's report, then Unisys may, at its option, request an
adjustment to market rates in accordance with Article 17.04,
concerning resolution of disputes by management, or if the Parties

terminate the relevant Service Agreement or this Master Agreement for
its convenience in accordance with Article 18.02(2), below.
ARTICLE 7 CHANGES IN THE SERVICES.
7.01 Right To Make Changes.
(1) Exult reserves the right in its discretion to designate and make changes
to the operation procedures, accessibility periods, allocation and
quantity of system resources utilized and administrative and operational
algorithms (each, a "Change"); provided, however, that no such Change
shall have a material adverse impact on the Service Levels or cause an
increase to the Fees.
(2) Except as set forth in subsection (1) above, in the event a Party wishes
to make a Change, such Party shall, in accordance with Change Control
Management, submit a written proposal to the other Party describing such
desired Change. The other Party shall, in accordance with Change Control
Management, reject or accept the proposal in writing within a reasonable
period of time, but in no event more than [***]* after receipt of the
proposal. In the event the proposal is rejected, the writing shall
include the reason for the rejection. In the event the proposal is
accepted, the Parties shall, in accordance with Change Control
Management, determine the additions or modifications to be made to the
Service Agreement (including the Fees). Any such addition or
modification shall be set forth in a written Change Order signed by the
Parties. Neither Party shall be obligated to accept a proposal submitted
by the other Party pursuant to this subsection. Exult shall have no
obligation to provide any service or otherwise act pursuant to any
proposal submitted by Unisys pursuant to this subsection, except to the
extent such proposal is set forth in an executed Change Order.
7.02 Changes in Law. Unisys shall be responsible for promptly
identifying and notifying Exult of any changes in Law, including Unisys
regulatory requirements, that may relate to Exult's delivery or Unisys receipt
of or use of the Services. In accordance with Change Control Management, the
Parties shall work together to identify the impact of such changes on how Unisys
receives and uses, and Exult delivers, the Services. Unisys shall be responsible
for any fines and penalties arising from any noncompliance by Unisys or Exult
with any such changes in Law relating to Unisys use of the Services. Subject to
the following sentence, if a change in Law prevents or delays Exult from
performing its obligations under this Master Agreement or a Service Agreement,
the Parties shall, in accordance with Change Control Management, develop and
implement a suitable workaround until such time as Exult can perform its
obligations under this Master Agreement or a Service Agreement, as the case may
be, without such workaround. If a change in Law, including the development or
implementation of a workaround, results in Exult's use of additional resources
or an increase in Exult's costs of providing the Services, Unisys shall
reimburse Exult for such additional resources and increased costs (excluding
costs attributable to Exult's delays). Exult shall not have any obligation to
monitor or become aware of any Laws, including Unisys regulatory requirements,
relating to Unisys business or its receipt or use of the Services. If,
notwithstanding diligent efforts to mitigate or manage the effects any change in
Law,
--------------------

<PAGE> 17
and to equitably adjust Services, Service Levels or Fees in the manner
contemplated by Section 12.06 below, (i) such a change in Law makes performance
of a material category of Services or Processes impossible to perform, or (ii)
an increase in taxation upon the Services makes continuation of the Master
Agreement or any Service Agreement uneconomic by rendering it unprofitable to
Exult, or erasing all or substantially all of the discount contemplated by
Section 4.1 Schedule C to the US Service Agreement, then the Party adversely
affected by the change in Law or taxation may terminate the Master Agreement and
all Service Agreements by giving written notice to the other Party. Such a
termination shall be treated as a convenience termination, subject to Section
18.02(2), but there shall be no obligation to pay a termination fee.
ARTICLE 8 TRANSITION PLAN.
Each of the Parties shall be responsible for the transition obligations and
milestones described in the Master Transition Plan set forth in Schedule G to
this Master Agreement and the Transition Plans set forth in Schedule G to each
of the Service Agreements.
ARTICLE 9 NEW SERVICES.
9.01 Exult Opportunity. With respect to any New Service for which
Exult has been selected to provide to Unisys, Exult shall not be responsible for
providing such New Service until Exult and Unisys have executed a Change Order
or entered into a new Service Agreement, as the case may be, including Exult's
charges for such New Service. [***]*
9.02 Exult Cooperation with Third Parties. In the event Unisys
selects a third party to provide a New Service, upon Unisys request and
reasonable notice, Exult shall cooperate with any independent third party
service vendors of Unisys; provided, however, that (1) such cooperation does not
impact the Services or Exult's ability to meet the Service Levels and (2) Exult
shall not be required to disclose any of Exult's Confidential Information to
such third party service provider unless such third party executes a
confidentiality agreement in a form acceptable to Exult and such third party's
use of such Confidential Information is solely for the benefit of Unisys. There
will be no charge to Unisys for incidental consultations, electronic copies of
data and documentation or other minor or incidental additional effort or service
provided in connection with provision of a New Service by a third party, but
Unisys will pay in accordance with an approved Change Order for material,
additional effort or serve at the rates and charges agreed to for the relevant
engagements, or if no specific rate or charge has been agreed, then at Exult's
standard rates then in effect for similar kinds and volumes of services.
ARTICLE 10 CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES.

Unisys shall be deemed to have accepted such deliverable); (6) provide
reasonable cooperation to Exult; (7) promptly notify Exult of any (a) third

10.04 Use of Unisys Facilities & Resources. No such Exult use of
Unisys facilities shall be construed to grant Exult, any Exult Representative,
or any third party any leasehold, subleasehold, license or other right
concerning Unisys facilities, other than the limited rights of use expressly
authorized by this Master Agreement (or otherwise in writing). In each such
instance, Exult and Exult Representatives shall:
(1) Use the Unisys facilities only to provide the Services (provided that
routine administrative time, or occasional consultation concerning work
for other customers shall not constitute breach of this requirement);
(2) Use Unisys facilities in a reasonably efficient manner (to the extent
that Exult operates the space in a manner that unnecessarily increases
facility costs incurred by Unisys, Unisys reserves the right to set-off
the excess utility costs of such practices);

any waste, damage or unlawful uses or conduct;
(4) Comply with all of Unisys standard policies and procedures as in effect

ARTICLE 11 SOFTWARE AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
11.01 Rights in Residuals. Nothing contained in this Master Agreement
or the Service Agreements shall restrict either Party from the use of any ideas,
concepts, know-how, methodologies, processes, technologies, algorithms or
techniques relating to the Services which either Party, individually or jointly,
owns prior to the Master Agreement Effective Date, or develops or discloses
under this Master Agreement or a Service Agreement, or develops or obtains

not breach its obligations of confidentiality or infringe the intellectual

provided materials to the other Party and provided further, that obligations of
confidentiality shall not be construed to restrict a Party's general use of the
foregoing kinds of intellectual property (without disclosing Confidential

Agreements.
12.02 Charges All-Inclusive. Exult's Fees are all-inclusive. Payment
of the Fees specified by the Service Agreements, all pass-through or other

(1) The Fees payable by Unisys to Exult [***]*
(2) Exult and Unisys shall each bear sole responsibility for all taxes,
assessments and other taxes upon their respective real and personal
property and net incomes.
(3) Exult and Unisys shall cooperate to segregate the Fees into the
following separate payment streams: (1) those for taxable Services; (2)
those for nontaxable Services; and (3) those for which a sales, use or
other similar tax has already been paid that otherwise are nontaxable or
have previously been subject to tax. In addition, each of Exult and
Unisys shall reasonably cooperate with the other to more accurately
determine a Party's tax liability and to minimize such liability, to the
extent legally permissible. Each of Exult and Unisys shall provide and

Levels are based on circumstances, estimates, metrics, principles, financial

relevant Service Agreement shall be paid or credited to Exult.
12.06 Equitable Adjustment. Except as otherwise agreed in writing for
a particular situation, in the event of any extraordinary change in Unisys
business because of acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, or other material
changes in circumstances that increase or decrease volumes of substantially all
of the Services under a particular Service Agreement by more than [***]*
measured on an annual or annualized basis, then upon either Party's request,
Exult's Fees for the affected Services and relevant Termination Charges shall be
equitably adjusted to reflect: (1) the net increase or decrease in Exult's
aggregate costs of performing the Services that are caused by the extraordinary
change (excluding increases or decreases attributable to Exult's performance);
(2) acquisition or dispositions of assets and other similar costs of additions
to or reductions from service; and (3) a reasonable allowance for profit upon
the net change in costs.

reasonably preclude such notice) to: (1) the parts of any facility at which
Exult is providing the Services, (2) Exult personnel providing the Services, and

such compliance that is (1) required by a law, regulation or audit
requirement relating to Exult business or (2) necessary due to Exult
noncompliance with any law, regulation or audit requirement imposed on
Exult. To the extent the expense is not payable by Exult pursuant to the
preceding sentence, Unisys shall bear the expense of any such compliance
that is (A) required by any Law or audit requirement relating to Unisys
business or (B) necessary due to Unisys noncompliance with any law,

protect Exult Confidential Information, and that of its clients and vendors.
Those procedures and agreements shall contain such security arrangements as
Exult may require to assure that no information concerning audits hereunder is
disclosed to business units of Unisys or its audit firm engaged in consulting or
other services that may compete with Exult. Unisys shall cause Auditors to
perform entry and exit interviews, and to provide Exult with copies of
applicable portions of audit reports.

13.06 Audit Costs. If Exult's provision of services related to an
audit or other review under this Article 13 requires use of additional resources
which Exult would not otherwise use in the performance of the Services (which
includes support of a single annual audit of Unisys accounts) then (unless
Section 13.02(1) applies) Unisys shall pay Exult for additional usage at Exult's
standard rates then in effect (unless the audit was undertaken by Unisys in
order to examine material deficiencies in Exult's performance or material
overcharges, and the audit in fact identifies material deficiencies or
overcharges). Any audits conducted pursuant to this Article 13 shall be at
Unisys expense (except as otherwise expressly provided above with respect to
overcharges).

shall be deemed to have accepted such report.
14.03 Correction of Errors. Upon notice from Unisys and at Unisys

Unisys and Exult shall, however, be permitted to disclose relevant
aspects of the other's Confidential Information to its officers,
directors, employees, auditors, attorneys and Representatives, to the

and the Service Agreements; provided, however, that the recipient shall
be responsible for ensuring that such officers, directors, employees,
auditors, attorneys and Representatives abide by the provisions of this
Master Agreement and the Service Agreements.
15.02 Exclusions. The obligations in Section 15.01 shall not restrict
any disclosure pursuant to any applicable Law or by order of any court or
Governmental Authority (provided that the recipient shall give prompt notice to

Law provides otherwise, shall not apply with respect to information that (1) is
independently developed by the recipient without violating the disclosing

the foregoing, the Parties recognize that each company may be required to
provide disclosure regarding the Master Agreement and Service Agreements in

17
<PAGE> 25
Each Party shall bear the cost it incurs as a result of compliance with this
Section.
15.04 Injunctive Relief. Each Party recognizes that its disclosure or
inappropriate use of Confidential Information of the other Party may give rise

disclosure or knowledge of any Confidential Information, as well as to such
damages or other relief as is occasioned by such unauthorized possession, use,
disclosure or knowledge.

the Service Agreements, in the event the Services require the access to or use
of personal data, each Party shall be responsible for taking all necessary steps
required by applicable Law to ensure the protection of the privacy of such
personal data to be accessed or used. In the event that applicable Law requires
registration with or consents of a Governmental Authority, Unisys shall
register, or cause such registration, with such Governmental Authority, or
obtain such consents, unless applicable Law otherwise requires.
15.06 Publicity. Neither Party shall use the other Party's name or
refer to it directly or indirectly, without such Party's consent, which consent

a Party's name for promotional or marketing materials, customer lists or
business presentations.

intellectual property right of any third Party.

Section.
17.06 Confidentiality. Communications, proposals and counter
proposals made by either Party during consultations and review in accordance
with the foregoing Sections 17.02 through 17.05, inclusive, shall be privileged
and confidential offers of compromise within the meaning of Section 1152 of the
California Evidence Code and Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, and
shall be inadmissible for any purpose (but this shall not require exclusion of
otherwise admissible evidence, such as records of prior performance, merely
because it is presented in the course of settlement negotiations). No mediator

report or recommendation may be admitted into evidence in any proceeding for any

17.07 Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided below, any dispute

exclusively settled by binding arbitration and, unless otherwise agreed by the
Parties, the following procedure:
(1) The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial

effect (the "Rules"). In the event of any conflict between the Rules and

shall govern.
(2) If the amount in dispute is [***]* or less, there shall be a sole
arbitrator chosen by the Parties or, if they are unable to agree within
thirty (30) days after the demand for arbitration, chosen in accordance
with the Rules. If the amount in dispute exceeds [***]* (and unless the
Parties otherwise agree to arbitrate before a sole arbitrator) each
Party shall appoint one arbitrator within thirty (30) days after receipt
by the respondent of the demand for arbitration, and the two arbitrators
so appointed shall, within thirty (30) days after their appointment,
appoint a third, presiding arbitrator. If either Party fails to nominate

(3) The arbitrator or arbitrators shall be (1) retired judges or (2)
lawyers, executives or professionals with at least five (5) years
experience in software, data processing, employment law or human
resources, as appropriate for the particular dispute.
(4) The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles or Orange County,
California;
(5) Either Party may, without inconsistency with this Master Agreement, seek
from a court any interim or provisional relief that may be necessary to
protect the rights or property of that Party pending the establishment
of the arbitral tribunal;
(6) The arbitrator(s) shall (by majority vote in cases involving three
arbitrators) render a written decision stating reasons therefor in
reasonable detail within six (6) months after the respondent receives
the demand for arbitration. The award shall be final and enforceable and
may be confirmed by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(7) The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive damages or any
other monetary relief not measured by the prevailing Party's actual
damages and will not make any decision inconsistent with the terms and
conditions of this Master Agreement or the relevant Service Agreement.
(8) If any dispute hereunder involves material issues of law or fact that
are common to any dispute between the Parties under their Master
Subcontract, then upon a showing of good cause, proceedings under this
Section 17 and Article 19.5 of the Master Subcontract may, in the
discretion of the first arbitrator(s) empanelled, be consolidated in a
single arbitration (subject in all cases to Section 17.08 below and
Article 19.7 of the Master Subcontract, concerning intellectual property

17.08 Certain Disputes. Claims and controversies concerning the
breach, or threatened breach, of provisions of this Agreement concerning
Confidential Information and intellectual property, including ownership,
infringement or misappropriation of proprietary rights may, at the election of
either Party, be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction in the Central
District of California to whose exclusive jurisdiction the Parties hereby
submit. Promptly following filing of an action contemplated by this Section
17.08, any arbitration then pending shall be stayed or terminated, insofar as it
concerns such issues.
17.09 Fees and Costs. In any legal action or arbitration, the
prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to its damages

attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, costs of arbitration, and other ordinary
and necessary costs of litigation, as determined by the court or arbitrators.
Such costs include, without limitation, costs of any legal proceedings brought

17.10 Provisional Remedies. The Parties reserve all rights to obtain

ARTICLE 18 TERMINATION.
18.01 By Exult.
(1) Exult shall have the option, but not the obligation, to terminate this
Master Agreement (and/or any Service Agreement affected by the breaches
described below) only if (A) (1) Unisys fails to pay when due undisputed
amounts (including, without limitation, amounts determined pursuant to
Article 17 (Dispute Resolution) to be owing to Exult) that exceed [***]*
and (2) Unisys fails to cure such failure within [***]* after receipt
from Exult of written notice thereof; or (B) Unisys intentionally and
materially infringes, converts or misappropriates any material
intellectual property right of Exult and fails to cure the infringement
or misappropriation (if curable) within [***]* after receiving written
notice from Exult. Exult hereby waives any rights it may have under this
Agreement, at law or in equity to terminate this Agreement for any
reasons other than those specified in clauses (A) and (B), above. Exult
shall exercise its termination option by delivering to Unisys written
notice of such termination identifying the termination date, which shall
be at least thirty (30) days from the date such termination notice is
delivered to Unisys. The termination date shall be subject to extension,
as provided below.
(2) If Exult terminates the Master Agreement pursuant to Section 18.01(1),
all Service Agreements then in effect shall simultaneously terminate.
(3) If Exult terminates the US Service Agreement pursuant to Section
18.01(1), Exult shall have the right, at its option, to simultaneously
terminate the Master Agreement and all other Service Agreements.
(4) If Exult terminates a Service Agreement other than the US Service
Agreement pursuant to Section 18.01(1), the Master Agreement and all
other Service Agreements shall remain in full force and effect.
18.02 By Unisys.
(1) Unisys shall have the right to terminate this Master Agreement or one or
more Service Agreements for cause if Exult fails to perform any of its
material obligations under the Master Agreement or respective Service
Agreement(s), as appropriate, and does not cure such default:
(a) within [***]* receipt of a notice of default from Unisys, if
there has been a material failure to provide [***]*; or,
(b) in all other cases, within [***]* receipt of notice provided,
that if breach cannot reasonably be cured within the [***]*, the
time to cure shall extend for a reasonable additional time, if
Exult has (i) provided to Unisys a plan to cure such breach,
(ii) promptly commences to implement such plan, and (iii)
thereafter diligently prosecutes the plan to completion within
[***]*
--------------------

23
<PAGE> 31
For purposes of this Section 18.02 (including all subparagraphs) "cure"
includes patches, manual or substitute procedures, workarounds and
other temporary measures that substantially restore service, so long as
Exult continues diligent efforts to effect a reasonably complete cure.
(2) Unisys shall have the right to terminate this Master Agreement or a
Service Agreement for convenience effective as of any time on or after
[***]* by giving Exult notice of the termination at least [***]* prior
to the termination date specified in the notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Unisys may not terminate this Master Agreement or any Service
Agreement unless Unisys is current in all undisputed payments then due
and payable to Exult. If a purported termination for cause by Unisys is
determined pursuant to Article 18 (Dispute Resolution) not to be a
proper termination for cause, such termination shall be deemed a
termination for convenience subject to this Section.
(3) Unisys shall have the option, but not the obligation, to terminate this
Master Agreement or, from time to time, one or more affected Service
Agreements, without payment of a termination charge, if Exult fails to
perform any Services (excluding disaster recovery services within
Exult's scope of responsibility) in any material respects because of a
Force Majeure Event and (1) subject to clause (2) below, Exult does not
cure such failure within [***]* the occurrence of the Force Majeure
Event; or (2) such failure is not reasonably subject to cure within
[***]* such occurrence. Unisys shall exercise its termination option by
delivering to Exult written notice of such termination identifying the
termination date. Unisys shall have no right to terminate pursuant to
this Section to the extent that any failure to restore service is
attributable to an interruption in or disruption of services provided by
Unisys to Exult. For purposes of terminating the Master Agreement,
"material" shall be determined by considering Services as a whole, under
all Service Agreements, and material failures to perform under the US
Service Agreement are material to the Services as a whole.
(4) Unisys shall have the option, but not the obligation, to terminate this
Master Agreement and all Service Agreements in their entirety if Exult
becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is the subject of any
voluntary proceeding relating to its liquidation, winding-up, insolvency
or the appointment of a receiver, administrator or similar officer (or
has such an officer appointed for it), makes an assignment for the
benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors or enters into an
agreement for the composition, extension or readjustment of all or
substantially all of its obligations.
(5) If Unisys terminates the Master Agreement pursuant to Section 18.02(1)
through 18.02(4), all Service Agreements then in effect shall
simultaneously terminate.
(6) If Unisys terminates the US Service Agreement pursuant to Section
18.02(1) or 18.02(3), then Exult shall have the right, at its option, to
terminate the Master Agreement and all other Service Agreements.
(7) If Unisys terminates a Service Agreement other than the US Service
Agreement pursuant to Section 18.02(1), the Master Agreement and all
other Service Agreements shall remain in full force and effect.

<PAGE> 32
(8) If Unisys terminates the Master Agreement pursuant to Section 18.02(2),
all Service Agreements then in effect shall simultaneously terminate.
Unisys shall pay to Exult the aggregate of the termination for
convenience fees set forth in Schedule C to each of the Service
Agreements.
(9) If Unisys terminates the US Service Agreement pursuant to Section
18.02(2), then Exult shall have the right, at its option, to terminate
(a) the Master Agreement and all other Service Agreements, in which case
Unisys shall pay to Exult the aggregate of the termination for
convenience fees set forth in Schedule C to each of the Service
Agreements or (b) selected Service Agreements, in which case Unisys
shall pay to Exult the aggregate of the termination for convenience fees
set forth in Schedule C to each of the terminated Service Agreements.
(10) If Unisys terminates a Service Agreement other than the US Service
Agreement pursuant to Section 18.02(2), the Master Agreement and all
other Service Agreements shall remain in full force and effect. Unisys
shall pay to Exult the termination for convenience fees set forth in
Schedule C to the terminated Service Agreement.
(11) [***]*
(12) Termination fees, when payable as provided above, shall accompany Unisys
notice of termination.
18.03 Termination Assistance. Upon request by Unisys and in
anticipation of the expiration or the termination of this Master Agreement or a
Service Agreement, if all undisputed payments due to Exult under this Master
Agreement and the Service Agreement have been paid, Exult shall provide to
Unisys the services set forth in Schedule T to the Service Agreement (the
"Termination Assistance Services") and otherwise requested by Unisys to effect a
smooth transition. Exult shall provide the Termination Assistance Services for
up to [***]* prior to the termination or expiration of the Master Agreement or
Service Agreement at the rates then in effect; provided, however, that to the
extent such Termination Assistance Services cause Exult to use resources beyond
those otherwise then being provided by Exult as part of the Services or incur
additional costs, such Termination Assistance Services shall constitute and be
performed as New Services. In addition, at Unisys request, Exult shall provide
the Termination Assistance Services for up to [***]* after the effective date of
the termination or expiration of this Master Agreement or the Service Agreement
by Unisys at [***]* rates. The period during which the Termination Assistance
Services are provided, shall be referred to as the "Termination Assistance
Period." Exult shall make reasonable efforts to comply with the Service Levels
during the Termination Assistance Period, for so long as Exult remains
responsible for particular services, but shall have no liability for payment of
any Service Credit for any unexcused failure to meet any Key Performance
Indicator. Unisys shall pay for Termination Assistance Services in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, without regard to any asserted right to
withhold payment or set off claims (other than good faith claims concerning
charges for Termination Assistance Services). In case of termination for
nonpayment by Unisys, Exult may condition performance of Termination Assistance
Services upon advance payment or other reasonable assurances of payment
reasonably satisfactory to Exult.

18.04 Exit Rights. Upon the expiration or termination of a Service
Agreement Exult shall provide the Termination Assistance Services in accordance
with Section 18.04;
(1) Unisys shall allow Exult to use, at no charge, those Unisys facilities
and Unisys assets (including the Unisys Software and the Unisys
Machines) being used to perform the Termination Assistance Services for
as long as Exult is providing the Termination Assistance Services;
(2) Upon the later of the expiration or termination of all of the Service
Agreements and the end of all of the Termination Assistance Periods, the
rights granted to Exult in Section 11.03 shall immediately revert to
Unisys (except to the extent agreed in writing through Addendum No. 1 to
the Master Subcontract or otherwise); and
(3) Upon Unisys request, with respect to any contracts applicable to the
Services being provided to Unisys on a dedicated, full-time basis for
maintenance, disaster recovery services and other necessary third party
services being used by Exult to perform the Services as of the date of
the expiration or termination of the Service Agreement, Exult shall
transfer or assign such agreements to Unisys or its designee, on terms
and conditions acceptable to both Parties; provided, however, that
Unisys provided Exult with reasonable notice prior to entering into such
contracts that Unisys may desire such transfer or assignment and Unisys
pays any costs associated with such transfer or assignment.
(4) Exult shall return all Unisys Data and Unisys Software, in the form
maintained, or as otherwise reasonably requested by Unisys, when
required by the relevant Service Agreement, or whenever Unisys otherwise
requests, at the time of termination or expiration, or at any other
time. Exult has no right to retain (other than authorized archival
copies), encrypt, corrupt or destroy any Unisys Data or Unisys Software,
and waives any and all statutory or common law liens, claims of lien or
similar rights, remedies or encumbrances that may now or hereafter exist
and might limit or condition Exult's obligations.
(5) If Exult breaches, or threatens to breach, its obligation to provide
Unisys with Termination Assistance, Unisys represents that it would be
irreparably harmed. In such circumstances, Unisys shall be entitled to
proceed directly to a court of competent jurisdiction and obtain such
injunctive, declaratory or other injunctive relief as may be reasonably
necessary to prevent such breach.
ARTICLE 19 INDEMNITIES.
19.01 Infringement. Each Party (an "Indemnifying Party") agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold the other Party and its Representatives ("Indemnified
Parties") harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by an
Indemnified Party arising from any third party claim of United States patent,
trade secret or copyright infringement asserted against the Indemnified Party by
virtue of the Indemnified Party's use of the Indemnifying Party's intellectual
property; provided, however, that (1) the Indemnifying Party is given prompt
notice of any such claim, (2) has the right to control and direct the defense of
such claim and (3) the Indemnified Party fully cooperates with the Indemnifying
Party in such defense, all as provided by Section 19.06, below. No Indemnifying
Party shall have any liability for any claim of infringement that results from
or relates to (a) any modification or enhancement to its intellectual property
by an Indemnified Party,
26
<PAGE> 34
(b) any failure by an Indemnified Party to implement or install the Indemnifying
Party's intellectual property as directed by the Indemnifying Party, (c) the
combination, operation or use of the Indemnifying Party's intellectual property
with third party programs, data or documentation and (d) materials, items,
resources, or services provided or performed by the Indemnified Party (whether
or not used in connection with or incorporated into the Indemnified Party's
software). In the event the Indemnifying Party's intellectual property, in the
Indemnifying Party's opinion, is likely to or do become the subject of a claim
of infringement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its sole option
and expense to (i) modify the allegedly infringing intellectual property to be
non-infringing, (ii) obtain for the Indemnified Party a license to continue
using the allegedly infringing intellectual property or (iii) terminate the
license granted hereunder with respect to the allegedly infringing intellectual
property and refund to the Indemnified Party a pro rata portion of the fee paid,
if any, for that portion of the allegedly infringing intellectual property,
respectively, which is the subject of such infringement, such portion based on a
straight line depreciation over a five-year term beginning on the delivery of
such portion of the intellectual property to the Indemnified Party.
19.02 Personal Injury and Property Damage By Exult. Exult agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Unisys harmless, from and against any and all Losses
incurred by Unisys arising from any third party claim for (1) bodily injuries
to, including fatal injury or disease to, Exult employees and (2) damage to
tangible real or personal property of Exult and Exult employees arising from or
in connection with negligent acts or omissions of Exult and its Representatives
in connection with this Master Agreement or the Service Agreement.
19.03 Personal Injury and Property Damage By Unisys. Unisys agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Exult and Exult Representatives harmless, from and
against any and all Losses arising from any third party claim for (1) bodily
injuries to, including fatal injury or disease to, Unisys employees and (2)
damage to tangible real or personal property of Unisys and Unisys employees
arising from or in connection with negligent acts or omissions of Unisys and its
Representatives in connection with this Master Agreement or the Service
Agreement.
19.04 By Unisys. Unisys agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Exult
and Exult Representatives harmless from and against any and all Losses arising
from any third party claim relating to: (1) any amounts, including taxes,
interest and penalties which are obligations of Unisys pursuant to Section
12.03; (2) any breach or default by Unisys in the performance of Unisys
obligations under agreements with third parties; (3) any breach of Unisys
representations and warranties in this Agreement, any Service Agreement, or
Schedule to this Agreement or any Service Agreement; (4) any violations of law
by Unisys; (5) Unisys failure to perform any obligations required to be
performed by it under any contracts assigned or otherwise transferred to Exult,
which obligations arose before the transfer or are specifically excluded from
the transfer; and (6) any business practices or negligent acts or omissions by
Unisys that cause liability to any third party and for which Exult is asserted
to be responsible by virtue of its financial, administrative or management
responsibilities under the Master Agreement or any Service Agreement.
19.05 By Exult. Exult agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Unisys and
Unisys Representatives harmless from and against any and all Losses arising from

obligations required to be performed by it under any contracts assigned or
otherwise transferred to Exult, after assignment or transfer, (2) Claims arising
out of or related to occurrences Exult is required to insure against pursuant to
Article 21 (Insurance), (3) any breach or default by Exult in the performance of
Exult's obligations under agreements with third parties; (4) any breach of

27
<PAGE> 35
Agreement, any Service Agreement, or Schedule to this Agreement or any Service
Agreement; and (5) any violations of law by Exult; and (6) any business
practices or negligent acts or omissions by Exult that cause liability to any
third party and for which Unisys is asserted to be responsible by virtue of its
financial, administrative or management responsibilities under the Master
Agreement or any Service Agreement.
19.06 Indemnification Procedures. If any third party claim is
commenced against an Indemnified Party under Sections 19.01 through 19.05,
inclusive, notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly
as practicable. If, after such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge
that this Section applies with respect to such claim, then the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, in a notice promptly delivered to the
Indemnified Party, but in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the date on
which a response to such claim is due, to immediately take control of the
defense and investigation of such claim and to employ and engage attorneys
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, at
the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense. Where conflicting interests so
require, the Indemnified Party shall have separate counsel, at the Indemnifying
Party's expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate, at the cost of the
Indemnifying Party, in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and
its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such claim and any
appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at
its own cost and expense, participate, through its attorneys or otherwise, in
such investigation, trial and defense of such claim and any appeal arising
therefrom. No settlement of a claim pursuant to this Section that involves a
remedy other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party shall be
entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. After notice by the Indemnifying Party to the
Indemnified Party of its election to assume full control of the defense of any
such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party
for any legal expenses incurred thereafter by such Indemnified Party in
connection with the defense of that claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not
assume full control over the defense of a claim subject to such defense as
provided in this Section, the Indemnifying Party may participate in such
defense, at its sole cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost
and expense of the Indemnifying Party.
19.07 Subrogation. In the event that a Party is obligated to
indemnify the other Party pursuant to Sections 19.01 through 19.05, the
Indemnifying Party shall, upon payment of such indemnity in full, be subrogated
to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to the claims and defenses
to which such indemnification relates.

accordance with Sections 18.02(2) (for convenience) and 18.02(11) (for

or entity other than the Parties.

either Party to exercise any right or power it has under this Master Agreement
or the Service Agreements shall impair or be construed as a waiver of such right

to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant. All waivers must
be signed by the Party waiving its rights.
22.05 Survival. The terms of Articles and Sections 4.14, 11.01,
11.05, 12.07, 13, 15, 16.05, 17, 18.04, 18.05, 19, 20, 22.01 through 22.07
(inclusive), 22.13, 22.14 and all other provisions of this Master Agreement or
any Service Agreement that contemplate observance or performance after

Master Agreement and the Service Agreements.
22.06 Governing Law. This Master Agreement and the Service Agreements
and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Master Agreement and

Laws of California, without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to

15, each Party irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding
brought by it in any way arising out of this Master Agreement or the Service
Agreements must be brought solely and exclusively in United States District
Court for the Central District of California or in the state courts of the State
of California and irrevocably accepts and submits to the sole and exclusive
jurisdiction of each of the aforesaid courts in personam, generally and
unconditionally with respect to any action, suit or proceeding brought by it or
against it by the other Party; provided, however, that this Section shall not
prevent a Party against whom any legal action, suit or proceeding is brought by
the other Party from seeking to remove such legal action, suit or proceeding,
pursuant to applicable federal law, to the district court of the United States
of America for the district and division embracing the place where the action is
pending in the state courts of California , and in the event an action is so
removed each Party irrevocably accepts and submits to the jurisdiction of the
aforesaid district court. Each Party hereto further irrevocably consents to the
service of process from any of the aforesaid courts by mailing copies thereof by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such
32
<PAGE> 40
Party at its address designated pursuant to this Master Agreement or the Service
Agreement, with such service of process to become effective 30 days after such
mailing.
22.08 Force Majeure.
(1) If and to the extent that a Party's performance of any of its
obligations pursuant to this Agreement is prevented, hindered or delayed
by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of
war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, or
any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party
(each, a "Force Majeure Event"), and such non-performance, hindrance or
delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions, then the
non-performing, hindered or delayed Party shall be excused for such
non-performance, hindrance or delay, as applicable, of those obligations
affected by the Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure
Event continues and such Party continues to use its best efforts to
recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without
delay, including through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans
or other means. The Party whose performance is prevented, hindered or
delayed by a Force Majeure Event shall immediately notify the other
Party of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and describe in
reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event.
(2) If any Force Majeure Event prevents, hinders or delays performance of
the Services for more than two (2) days, Unisys may procure such
Services from an alternate source and Exult shall reimburse Unisys for
the costs and expenses incurred by Unisys in procuring such Services.
(3) Except as provided in Section 22.08(2), above, nothing in this Article
shall limit Unisys obligation to pay any Fees due Exult under this
Agreement; provided, however, that if Exult fails to provide the
Services in accordance with this Master Agreement or any Service
Agreement due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the Fees shall
be adjusted in a manner such that Unisys is not responsible for the
payment of any Fees for Services that Exult fails to provide.
Whenever a Force Majeure Event requires Exult to allocate limited resources
between or among Exult's customers, Exult will allocate those resources
equitably, so that no Exult customer receiving services similar to the Services
has any greater priority in the restoration of those services.
22.09 Nonperformance. In the event that Exult's performance of the
Services requires or is contingent upon Unisys performance of an obligation
under this Master Agreement or a Service Agreement, and Unisys delays or
withholds such performance beyond the agreed-upon time period (or beyond five
days, if a time period is not specified), the time for the performance of
Exult's obligations shall be extended for the period of such delay in, or
withholding of, performance.
22.10 Right to Provide Services. Subject to Section 4.14, above, each
Party recognizes that Exult personnel providing services to Unisys under this
Master Agreement and the Service Agreements may perform similar services for
others and neither this Master Agreement nor the Service Agreements shall
prevent Exult from using the personnel and equipment provided to Unisys under
this Master Agreement or the Service Agreements for such purposes.
33
<PAGE> 41
22.11 Right to Manage Performance. Exult has the sole right to
supervise, manage, contract, direct, procure, perform or cause to be performed
all work and services to be performed by Exult.
22.12 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees
that, subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Master Agreement and the
Service Agreements and without any additional consideration, each of the Parties
shall execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any actions
which are or may become necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Master
Agreement or the Service Agreements.
22.13 Solicitation. During the Service Agreement Terms [***]* neither
Party shall directly solicit any employees of the other Party without such
Party's consent (except as otherwise permitted by Schedule J to any Service
Agreement concerning Termination Assistance).
22.14 Limitation Period. Neither Party may bring an action,
regardless of form, arising out of this Master Agreement or the Service
Agreements more than [***]* after the cause of action has arisen or the date
such cause of action was or should have been discovered.
22.15 Negotiated Terms. The Parties agree that the terms and
conditions of this Master Agreement and the Service Agreements are the result of
negotiations between the Parties and that neither this Master Agreement nor the
Service Agreements shall be construed in favor of or against any Party by reason
of the extent to which any Party or its professional advisors participated in
the preparation of this Master Agreement or the Service Agreements.
22.16 Consents, Approvals and Requests. Except as specifically set
forth in this Master Agreement or a Service Agreement, all consents, approvals,
notices, requests and similar actions to be given by either Party under this
Master Agreement or a Service Agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed and each Party shall make only reasonable requests under this Master
Agreement and the Service Agreements.
22.17 Entire Agreement; Amendments; Counterparts. This Master
Agreement and the Service Agreements represent the entire agreement between the
Parties with respect to their subject matter, and there are no other
representations, understandings or agreements between the Parties relative to
such subject matter. No amendment to, or change, waiver or discharge of, any
provision of this Master Agreement or the Service Agreements shall be valid
unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each of the
Parties. This Master Agreement and the Service Agreements may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which taken together shall constitute one single agreement between the Parties.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCHEDULE B
SERVICE LEVELS
1 INTRODUCTION
This Schedule defines the principles and parameters governing the
Service Levels which shall be measured. This Schedule also describes how
these Service Levels shall be established.
There are two types of Service Levels that shall be defined, measured
and reported:
1.1 Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs"): Service Levels that must be
met to avoid a significant financial or service impact to
Unisys; and
1.2 Reporting Service Levels ("RSLs"): These measure Exult's
performance of the Services using a range of quantitative and
qualitative Service Levels.
The process for initially establishing these Service is described in
Section 3, Process.
2 PRINCIPLES GOVERNING SERVICE LEVELS
2.1 Service Levels shall be used to measure Exult's performance of
the Services set out in Schedule A of the Service Agreement.
2.2 Service Levels shall be based on objective and clearly defined
measurable criteria.
2.3 A limited number of Service Levels shall be designated as KPIs
as mutually agreed by the Parties.
2.4 Service Levels are designed to measure quality and cost issues
that are clearly identifiable by Unisys business users.
2.5 Exult's performance of the Services at the Service Levels is
subject to Unisys performing its obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement.
3 PROCESS
Prior to the Service Agreement Effective Date, the parties have agree on
the Service Level measurements identified below. Service Level metrics
and process weightings shall be determined following the Service
Agreement Effective Date in accordance with the process identified
below.
3.1 KPIs
3.1.1 [***]*
--------------------
*Confidential information has been omitted.
1
<PAGE> 58
3.1.2 With respect to the remaining KPIs, the parties shall
agree on provisional KPI metrics and process weightings
following the Service Agreement Effective Date. Then
Exult shall measure and report its performance of the
Services in accordance with such provisional KPIs for a
period of [***]*, following the Service Agreement
Effective Date. Thereafter, the parties shall agree on
revised KPI metrics and Exult shall implement such
Service Levels.
3.1.3 KPI Process Weightings
Each KPI Service Level shall be assigned a weighting, by
Unisys, of no less than [***]* and no greater than
[***]*. The total KPI process weighting for all KPI
Service Levels shall equal [***]*
3.1.4 Key Performance Indicator Table
[***]*
Exult shall have no liability for a failure to achieve a
KPI that is not achieved due to any of the causes set
forth in Section 6.05 of the Master Agreement and
non-performance of or any other defect in any systems,
hardware or other technical infrastructure, other than
those systems, hardware or other technical
infrastructure supplied or controlled by Exult under
this Agreement.
3.2 RSLs
Unisys and Exult shall determine and agree on a limited number
of meaningful RSLs to measure key aspects of the Services
(initial RSLs are stated below). The RSLs should wherever
practicable be based on:
- information that is actually reported on as of the
Service Agreement Effective Date; or
- information which can be generated from the normal
operation of the service delivery model and systems
without the need for extra development or modification
to the systems or Exult service delivery model.
3.2.1 For RSL's, where Unisys provides verifiable Service
Level history for the twelve month period prior to the
Service Agreement Effective Date, the parties shall
determine the appropriate Service Level metric for each
such RSL. These Service Level metrics shall be
implemented following Transition
3.2.2 With respect to the remaining RSLs, the parties shall
agree on provisional RSL metrics following the Service
Agreement Effective Date. Exult shall measure and report
its performance of the Services in accordance with such
provisional RSLs for a period of 12 months, following
the Service Agreement Effective Date. Thereafter, the
parties shall agree on revised RSL metrics and Exult
shall implement such Service Level.

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL UNISYS/EXULT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any requests for additional RSLs shall be subject to Change
Control Management and the parties recognize that an appropriate
equitable adjustment to the Fees may be necessary to implement
such RSLs. Agreed changes to RSLs will be implemented at Unisys
expense.
3.3 ANNUAL SERVICE LEVELS REVIEW
The Steering Committee (1) shall review the Service Levels
annually, (2) with respect to any Service Levels that require
periodic adjustment pursuant to this Master Agreement or any
Service Agreement or are no longer appropriate because of an
increase, decrease or change to the Services, shall adjust the
Service Levels and (3) with respect to all other Service Levels,
may adjust the Service Levels for the subsequent contract year.
In addition, either Party may, at any time upon notice to the
other Party, initiate negotiations to review and, upon agreement
by the Steering Committee, adjust any Service Level which such
Party in good faith believes is inappropriate at the time. The
Parties intend to adjust Service Levels upward by mutual
agreement as performance improves, when Service Levels are
consistently exceeded.
3.4 CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND BEST PRACTICES
[***]*
4 SERVICE CREDITS
4.1 KPIs, for which Unisys provides [***]* of Service Level history,
shall be subject to Service Credits, following Transition, as
set out in Schedule C.
4.2 Provisional KPIs, provisional RSLs and RSLs shall not be subject
to Service Credits.
4.3 A failure by Exult to meet the KPIs set out in Schedule B shall
entitle Unisys to recover as its sole financial remedy for such
failure, Service Credits as set out in Schedule C, Fees and
Invoicing
4.4 Failure by Exult to meet the KPIs resulting from a single event
shall constitute a single failure by Exult to meet the KPIs. If
a single event causes multiple failures to meet the KPIs,
Exult's liability shall be limited to the largest Service Credit
payable for a single failure by Exult to meet the KPIs (larger
of the two credits).
4.5 Service Credits for missed KPIs shall be calculated on a monthly
basis and credited semi-annually.
4.6 Exult shall be allowed [***]* KPI within each [***]*
reconciliation period.

4.1.3 Base Charges During Transition
During the Transition Period, Unisys will pay Base Charges
proportionally, as of the relevant Process Take On Dates. When
transition occurs between the beginning and end of the month, Base
Charges shall be prorated by taking a percentage (based on the number of
days remaining for such month divided by the total days in such month)
of a full month's charge for that Process. For example, if the Master
Agreement Effective Date is September 1, 2000 and the Process Take On
Date for Compensation is March 15, 2001, Unisys shall pay 48% (15 days
remaining divided by 31 days in March) of the Base Charges for the month
of March and the entire Base Charges for April 2001.
4.2 ARCS/RRCS
4.2.1 Resource Units
The Resource Units identified in Table 4.2.2.1 provide a representative
measurement of usage for the Services. HR Services ARC and RRC
adjustments to Base Charges will be based on such Resource Units.
Examples of using resource units for ARC and RRC adjustments can be
found in Table 4.2.5
4.2.2 Baseline Volumes
The Baseline Volume for each Resource Unit specified in Table 4.2.2.1
shows the semi-annual volume. Average figures are based upon monthly
totals, measured on the 30th or last business day of the month, then
averaged for the relevant annual or semi-annual period. This average
figure is known as the semi-annual volume number. These volumes are
based on those provided by the Unisys prior to the Master Agreement
Effective Date and are subject to verification provided above. [***]*

infrastructure necessary to support the successful completion of the
transition. This is the phase of the transition during which Unisys and
Exult agree to the overall approach and schedule for the transition, the
detailed work plan to complete the work, and the staffing levels and
commitments from both organizations. The project reporting and governance
shall also be agreed and put in place. The diagram shown below and
