The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by its counsel in writing that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of the action (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of the action on behalf of the Indemnified Party); or (iii) the Indemnifying Party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of the action within a reasonable time following receipt of the notice given pursuant to this Section 14(c), in each of which cases the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall an Indemnifying Party settle any such action without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability with respect to the claim.

15.     Insurance. Vendor will, at Vendor’s expense, maintain insurance policies that cover Vendor’s activities under this Agreement and the Statement of Work and the activities of Vendor’s employees, agents, and representatives, including, but not limited to, workers compensation insurance and comprehensive general liability, errors and omissions liability and media liability with minimum limits of insurance of $2 million per claim and $4 million annual aggregate. Vendor will name Intuit as an additional insured on each such policy. Upon the request of Intuit, Vendor shall provide Intuit with a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverages.

16.     Limitation of Liability.

(a)  NEITHER VENDOR NOR INTUIT SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, THE CUSTOMERS, OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY WHICH RESULTS FROM THE USE BY THE PARTY, A CUSTOMER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY OF INVENTORY DELIVERED TO THE OTHER PARTY OR A CUSTOMER UNLESS THE LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTS DIRECTLY FROM THE INTENTIONALLY TORTIOUS OR FRAUDULENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF VENDOR OR INTUIT, AS THE CASE MAY BE.

13


 

(b)  IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE AND/OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OR ANY FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OF SUCH PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIMIT DAMAGE RECOVERY WHICH ARISES FROM OR IS RELATED TO (I) A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF OR THE FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, OR (II) A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12 OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION ON LIABILITY ALSO SHALL NOT SERVE TO LIMIT (A) ANY PARTY’S RECOVERY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN, OR (B) EITHER PARTY’S OBLIGATION UNDER SECTION 14 TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER AGAINST CLAIMS MADE BY THIRD PARTIES.

17.     Dispute Resolution. Except with respect to claims involving either party’s intellectual property rights or the breach or anticipated breach of either party’s obligations set forth in Section 12, each party agrees to submit in writing any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement to mid-level management representatives designated by each party, who will meet by conference or otherwise in an effort to resolve such dispute within five (5) days. If after the fifth day, such dispute cannot be resolved, then each party’s respective Vice-President, or substantial equivalent, shall attempt to resolve the dispute. In the event that the Vice Presidents are unable to resolve any such dispute within twenty (20) days, the parties shall mutually determine a date and location for a meeting between the senior management of each party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (i) to try to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any such dispute and (ii) to continue performance of their additional obligations hereunder that are not the subject of dispute during such period. Either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction if, at the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the parties remain unable to resolve such dispute.

18.     General.

(a)  Press Releases. The parties may agree to issue joint press releases and other appropriate announcements and presentations regarding the existence or performance of this Agreement, the content and timing of which shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless required by law, neither party will, without the prior written approval of the other party, make any public statement, press release, presentation, or other announcement relating to the terms, existence of or performance by either party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)  Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt by either party to assign this Agreement other than as permitted above will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be

14


 

binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of both parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

(c)  Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

Outbound Freight Sourcing – (Retail Only)

IML will make available to Intuit the complete list of carriers that have current contracts in place with IML. IML will leverage IM-First for pre-paid carrier selection, which optimizes the freight by shipping lane. Inbound and Outbound freight rates are subject to change at any time.

For shipments other than LTL and TL, IML will leverage the current IML volume freight rates and will provide Intuit market competitive rates including an administrative fee that is based on IML’s markup.

The current Outbound LTL pricing is based on a flat rate per pound of [*].

Outbound TL pricing will be addressed on an as needed basis through a process of market spot quotation.

In the event that Intuit would instruct IML to 3rd Party Bill Freight charges, Intuit agrees to open discussions with IML regarding the back-end costs incurred by IML and how those can be shared.

Exhibit C

Service Level Commitments

Beginning January 1, 2002, IML shall be required to perform the Services in accordance with the Service Level Commitments described in this Exhibit C.

Order Management & Customer Service

  •   [*]% of orders will be printed (released to the warehouse) on the same business day received. This calculation will exclude all exception orders such as new store opening, future dated orders, ship completes, backorders, and pallet orders.
 
  •   [*]% of all electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) data that is provided by the carriers (that have existing EDI 214 connections with IML) will be delivered to Intuit within [*] of report availability from carrier to IML.
 
  •   [*]% of all manual proof of delivery (POD) information (from those carriers that do not have existing EDI214 connections with IML) will be delivered to Intuit within [*] of delivery notification from carrier to IML.
 
  •   No less than [*]% uptime of online access to IML’s system (Impulse) via IngramMicro.com and/or CAPS during regular business hours due to an IML systemic failure. IML will notify Intuit a minimum of [*] prior to any Scheduled Downtime (as defined herein) to IML’s systems (IMpulse, IngramMicro.com and CAPS).
 
  •   IML response to customer shipment claim inquiries (as defined in the Statement of Work) is no more than 48 hours from the time IML receives the customer inquiry. IML will provide final resolution (acceptance or denial) on 98% of all claims within 15 business days.

Fulfillment Services

  •   [*]% On-Time Fulfillment: Provided IML has adequate Inventory to fulfill the order, and provided the order is received before the[*]. (Local Standard Time) Cut-Off Time, IML will process [*]% of all printed orders on the business day received unless daily volume exceeds [*] orders, [*] lines, or [*] units in the [*] facility and [ * ] orders, [*] lines, or [*] units in the [*] facility. Printed orders in excess of these amounts will be given an additional business day for processing. This calculation will exclude all exception orders such as new store opening, future dated orders, ship completes, backorders, and pallet orders. [*]% of those orders released after the[*]. (Local Standard Time) Cut-Off Time will be processed by IML by the Cut-Off Time on the following business day.
 
  •   [*]% Fulfillment Accuracy: calculated by adding the total approved short ship units (code SS) + overship units (code OS) + warehouse picking error units (code WW) and dividing the sum by total units shipped

[*]


*   We have requested confidential treatment for certain portions of this document pursuant to an application for confidential treatment sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We omitted such portions from this filing and filed them separately with the SEC.

 


 

ERP and IT Integration

  •   [*]% up time for any IML-operated FTP site used for scheduled business transactions for Intuit and or its business partner(s)
 
  •   Turnaround time of no more than one hour for an EDI997 response to an Intuit EDI850 transaction provided no value added network (VAN) outages.
 
  •   [*]% Advanced Ship Notice (ASN/EDI856) accuracy as measured by Intuit number of monthly failure notifications caused by IML.
 
  •   No more than [*] within a given month where IML business applications fail to process or send scheduled transactions.
 
  •   IML will communicate any IML system failures affecting Intuit, and provide to Intuit updates as to the status of such failures based on the following escalation procedure:
             
Priority Level   Description   Escalate After   First Update to Customer

 
 
 
P1   Production system is down; unable to conduct business or possibility of immediate severe financial impact to business   [*]   1 hour from time of original call
                 
P2   Production system partially impacted; business continues; some financial impact possible   [*]   2 - 3 hours from time of original call
                 
P3   Minimal Impact to production systems   [*]   Within 24 hours

  •   IML will notify Intuit once per day of all rejected orders on the FTP EDI acknowledgment report (EDP945), which will be posted, to the Intuit/IML FTP site nightly. In addition, IML will notify Intuit within 3 business hours of any order that is rejected the same day it has been received by IML.
 
  •   IML will ensure Impulse up time % of at least [*]% of the time during the term excluding Scheduled Down time for batching and end of fiscal month activity as follows:

For purposes of these Service Level Commitments, “Scheduled Downtime” for IML’s CAPS and the WEB systems include downtimes that affect Intuit’s access to real time pricing and availability, ordering, order status and rma status; provided that such downtimes occur during the following times:
Monday thru Friday — Midnight to 4AM PST
Saturday — 8PM to Midnight PST
Sunday — Midnight to 9AM and 3PM to 7PM PST


*   We have requested confidential treatment for certain portions of this document pursuant to an application for confidential treatment sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We omitted such portions from this filing and filed them separately with the SEC.

 


 

Scheduled Downtime shall also include the following times:
IML’s system shuts down on Saturday at 3PM PST until Monday at 4AM PST on the following dates during the remainder of this fiscal year:
August 25, 2001
September 29, 2001
October 27, 2001
November 24, 2001
December 29, 2001

IML will publish scheduled downtime dates for years 2002 & 2003 as they become available.

These additional periods of Scheduled Downtime are necessary because IML performs batch processing for its fiscal month ends and shuts down its systems during these times.

Orders received during downtimes will be queued and processed when the system is available.

Report Capabilities & Metrics

  •   Intuit will rely upon [*]% accuracy for all IML produced reports. IML will perform self-audits to ensure accuracy and inform Intuit immediately of any defects and provide Intuit with a corrective action plan within 1 business day. Intuit may conduct random audits to ensure compliance. Accuracy of IML reports is considered critical to business and Intuit will institute the following plan:

[*]

  •   Timeliness of reports. Daily FTP files to be available by 5:30 AM PST and the weekly FTP files to be available by 5:30 AM PST Monday mornings.
 
  •   Reports covered by these Service Level Commitments are described in in Attachment C of the Statement of Work.

Warehousing & Inventory Management

  •   [*]% Sku/Product set up accuracy, based on Intuit-provided information/Sku set up documentation.
 
  •   [*]% Inventory Shrinkage Accuracy based on twice yearly physical audits and calculated based on total sku level net physical inventory adjustments in units divided by total inventory movement in units from the previous physical inventory date.

Exhibit F: Basic Security Requirements for Customer Data

Definitions

  For the purposes of this Exhibit, the following definitions shall apply.

  Personally-Identifiable Information: Information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains. It includes, without limitation, the following information:

  Secret Information: Information that is used to protect other Personally-Identifiable Information. Generally, Secret Information is not disclosed to outside parties under any circumstances. Secret Information includes customer passwords, private encryption keys, and private signature keys.

  Sensitive Information: Any information that could be misused in such a way as to jeopardize the financial or legal position of its owner, or of the person or company described by the information. Sensitive Information includes customer account numbers, Social Security numbers, taxpayer identification numbers, credit card numbers, customer account balances, customer financial information and transactional activity, medical records, and legal records.

  Restricted Information: Information that is not Secret or Sensitive, but whose permissible use has been restricted by its owner. Restricted information includes customer names, customer street or e-mail addresses, customer telephone numbers, and records of customer services and other data relating to the products and services offered, received, or purchased by customers of Intuit or the Company.

A.   Controlling Access to Personally-Identifiable Information

  1.   Access to Personally-Identifiable Information stored on Company’s systems must not be granted to members of Company’s staff, subcontractors, or other agents, unless all of the following conditions are met:
 
  a)   The staff member, subcontractor, or other agent requesting the access can be uniquely identified (e.g., by a unique User ID)[*];
 
  b)   The staff member, subcontractor, or other agent requesting the access has entered a correct password or other authorizing token to indicate that he/she is the authorized user of this account. If passwords are the only method used for authentication, they must satisfy certain minimal standards mutually agreeable to Intuit and Company that make them sufficiently robust to effectively resist both educated guessing and brute-force attacks. [*]
 
  c)   In all cases, access permissions must be established in a manner that allows only for the minimum access level(s) required for each staff member, subcontractor, or other agent to perform his or her job function. The ability to read, write, modify or delete Personally-Identifiable Information must be limited to those individuals who are specifically authorized to perform those data maintenance functions.
 
  d)   [*]
 
  2.   Personally-Identifiable Information stored on Company’s systems must be stored behind firewalls with access to such information limited as described in paragraph A.1.
 
  3.   It is recommended that Secret Information never be stored in clear text on Company’s systems. At a minimum, it is recommended that financial services industry-standard encryption techniques be employed to safeguard Secret Information in Company’s systems from retrieval by unauthorized persons. Whenever possible, it is recommended that message digest algorithms such as SHA-1 or MD5 be used to hash and verify the user’s password, and that “salt” be added to the input string prior to encoding to make it unlikely that the same password text chosen by different users will yield identical encodings.
 
  4.   Passwords used by Company’s customers are not required to conform to the password standards described in paragraph A.1.b; however, Company must not provide any of its customers with access to Personally-Identifiable Information other than that which pertains to such customer, except as permitted in writing by the affected person or as otherwise required by law.
 
  5.   Procedures must be in place to modify or revoke access permissions to Personally-Identifiable Information when staff members leave the Company or when their job responsibilities change.
 
  6.   Printed material that contains Personally-Identifiable Information must be stored in secured areas to which access is limited to those staff members who have a business need to access it. It must also be disposed of in a secure manner. Whenever possible, it is recommended that secure disposal alternatives such as on-site shredding prior to recycling or placement in publicly-accessible locked trash bins with subsequent off-site shredding by a licensed contractor be implemented.

B.   Transmitting Personally-Identifiable Information

  1.   Unless restricted by law, or as discussed in paragraph D.1, Company must not electronically transmit Secret or Sensitive Information over publicly-accessible networks without using 128-bit SSL or another


*   We have requested confidential treatment for certain portions of this document pursuant to an application for confidential treatment sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We omitted such portions from this filing and filed them separately with the SEC.


 

      mechanism that affords similar or greater security and confidentiality. If legal restrictions limit the use of 128-bit SSL encryption technology, Company must use the strongest encryption technology permitted.
 
  2.   Personally-Identifiable Information must never be passed in a URL (e.g., using a Get method) in a manner that potentially exposes the information to third parties and causes such information to appear in log files.

C.   Maintaining a Secure Environment

  1.   To protect the accuracy and integrity of Personally-Identifiable Information, all such data stored in electronic form must be backed up regularly (no less often than weekly), and the backups stored in secure, environmentally-controlled, limited-access facilities.
 
  2.   Company must use commercially-reasonable efforts to install any security-related fixes identified by its hardware or software vendors, if the security threat being addressed by the fix is one that significantly threatens the privacy or integrity of any Personally-Identifiable Information covered by this Agreement. Such upgrades must be made as soon as they can safely be installed and integrated into Company’s existing architecture and systems.
 
  3.   Intuit may, from time to time, advise Company of recent security threats that have come to its attention, and require Company to implement specific modifications to its software, policies, or procedures that may be necessary to counter these threats. Company must implement these modifications within a mutually-agreeable time, or must obtain written permission from Intuit to take some other commercially-reasonable course of action to preserve the privacy and integrity of any Personally-Identifiable Information.
 
  4.   Company must immediately notify the Intuit Security SPOC (see below) if it knows or suspects that Personally-Identifiable Information has been compromised or disclosed to unauthorized persons, or if there has been any meaningful or substantial deviation from the requirements of this Exhibit.
 
  5.   Notwithstanding the minimum standards set forth in this Exhibit, Company must use commercially-reasonable efforts to monitor and periodically incorporate reasonable industry-standard security safeguards.

D.   Electronic Mail

  1.   Company must not send any Secret Information in an e-mail message over publicly-accessible networks unless the e-mail is encrypted using a previously-approved encryption mechanism or is otherwise made secure with an approach that has been mutually agreed upon in advance by Intuit and Company. It is recommended that Company not send any Sensitive or Restricted Information in an e-mail message over publicly-accessible networks unless the e-mail is encrypted or otherwise secured as described above.
 
  2.   Company and its subcontractors and agents must not reveal the Personally-Identifiable Information of one customer to any other customer or other third party, in any e-mail or other communication, except as permitted in writing by the affected person, as deemed appropriate in light of the interests of the affected person, or as otherwise required by law.

E.   Reviews, Audits, and Remedies

  1.   Upon 14 days’ prior written notice to Company, Intuit (or its agent) may enter Company’s premises and inspect such of Company’s books, records, facilities and computer systems as Intuit and Company shall mutually agree is necessary to ensure that Company complies with the terms and conditions of this Exhibit. Intuit or its agent shall comply with Company’s standard policies and procedures that apply to third party companies that have access to Company’s premises, and Intuit or its agent shall access Company’s premises during Company’s normal business hours.
 
  2.   Notwithstanding any cure period in this Agreement to the contrary, Intuit, at Intuit’s reasonable discretion, may require correction of any demonstrated problem that significantly threatens the security of Personally-Identifiable Information within a shorter period of time. Intuit shall provide written notice of the problem to Company, and Company must immediately take appropriate steps to correct the problem. If Company fails to correct any demonstrated security problem within a commercially-reasonable time, factoring in the work that must be completed to address the problem, and resulting in the material disclosure or threatened disclosure of Personally-Identifiable Information, Intuit may instruct Company to take such interim measures as are necessary to protect Personally-Identifiable Information. If Company fails or refuses to take such interim and/or permanent measures which are necessary to prevent the material disclosure of Personally-Identifiable Information within a commercially reasonable time, Intuit may terminate any and all affected agreements between Intuit and Company for cause.

F.   Compliance with U.S. Laws and Regulations
 
    Company shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
 
G.   Changes to Requirements
 
    Intuit may, in its sole discretion, amend these requirements from time to time, as required by law or otherwise.

H.   Contact Information
 
    The primary business contact person for each party under this Agreement shall designate a primary and an alternate single point of contact for security issues for such party (a “Security SPOC”) and provide mail, email, telephone, home telephone, and pager or portable telephone contact information for such persons. Both parties agree that either the primary or alternate Security SPOC will be available at all times (“24/7/365”). Such designation and information must be given in writing to the other party within ten (10) business days after the effective date of the Agreement. Any updates to the same shall be given promptly in writing to the other party.
