or exceed outsourcing industry standards under similar circumstances and the

Service Level Agreements identified in this Agreement.

thereafter, Roadway and ACS shall review the Service Level Agreements and shall

Services, which Roadway has not previously considered or began to investigate,

that Roadway, in its sole discretion, elects to implement, then in each of the

three (3) years following such implementation, ACS shall receive or retain, as

appropriate, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of Roadway's actual

net cost reduction proximately caused by the solution during such year. This

Section 2.8(b) shall apply to net cost reductions that accrue during the Term

under accrual basis accounting under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

consistently applied by Roadway, regardless of when the avoided costs would have

been incurred.

Manual shall describe how ACS shall perform the Services under this Agreement,

the equipment and software being used, and the documents (e.g., operations

manuals, user guides, specifications) which provide further details of such

activities. The Procedures Manual shall describe the activities ACS proposes to

undertake in order to provide the Services, including where appropriate, those

direction, supervision, monitoring, staffing, reporting, planning and oversight

activities normally undertaken at facilities that provide services of the type

ACS shall provide under this Agreement. The Procedures Manual shall be suitable

for use by Roadway to understand the Services. The Procedures Manual is for

Roadway's internal use only and will not be disclosed to third parties without

written authorization from ACS.

 

2.13 DRAFT PROCEDURES MANUAL. Within ninety (90) days after the Cutover Date,

ACS shall deliver a draft Procedures Manual to Roadway, for its comments and

review. ACS shall incorporate reasonable comments or suggestions of Roadway and

shall finalize the Procedures Manual within one hundred and twenty (120) days of

the Cutover Date. The final Procedures Manual shall be subject to the approval

of Roadway. ACS shall periodically update the Procedures Manual to reflect

changes in the operations or procedures described therein. Updates of the

Procedures Manual shall be provided to Roadway for review, comment, and

approval. ACS shall perform the Services in accordance with the Procedures

Manual. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and

the Procedures Manual, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless the

parties expressly agree otherwise and such agreement is set forth in the

relevant portion of the Procedures Manual.

 

2.14 KEY ACS PERSONNEL. The Key ACS Personnel shall be the personnel set forth

as such in SCHEDULE 2.14. The ACS Account Manager shall (i) devote all of his or

her time and effort to managing the Services, (ii) serve as the single point of

accountability for the Services, and (iii) have day-to-day authority for

undertaking to ensure Roadway satisfaction. ACS shall cause each of the Key ACS

Personnel to devote all of his or her time and effort to provision the Services

under this Agreement. Before assigning an individual to a position designated as

Key ACS Personnel, whether as an initial assignment or a subsequent assignment,

ACS shall notify Roadway of the proposed assignment, shall introduce the

individual to appropriate Roadway representatives, and shall provide Roadway

with a resume and other information about the individual reasonably requested by

Roadway. If Roadway in good faith objects to the proposed assignment, the

Parties shall attempt to resolve Roadway's concern on a mutually agreeable

basis. If the Parties have not been able to resolve Roadway's concerns within

five (5) working days, ACS shall not assign the individual to that position and

shall propose to Roadway the assignment of another individual of suitable

ability and qualifications. Key ACS Personnel may not be transferred or

reassigned until a suitable replacement has been approved by Roadway. ACS will

ensure that during any transition period, any position designated as Key ACS

Personnel will be fully staffed by a qualified individual.

 

2.15 QUALIFICATIONS, RETENTION AND REPLACEMENT OF ACS PERSONNEL. The personnel

ACS assigns to perform the Services shall be properly educated, trained and duly

qualified for the Services they are to perform. Roadway and ACS both agree that

it is in their best interests to keep the turnover rate of the ACS personnel

performing the Services to a reasonably low level (the level maintained by

well-managed professional service organizations). Accordingly, if ACS and

Roadway determine that ACS turnover rate is excessive as compared to information

processing service organizations in similar markets, ACS and Roadway shall meet

to discuss the reasons for the turnover rate. If appropriate, ACS shall submit

to Roadway its proposals (which shall be at no cost to Roadway) for reducing the

turnover rate to a reasonable level, and the Parties shall mutually agree on a

program to bring the turnover rate down to such level. In any event,

notwithstanding transfer or turnover of personnel, ACS remains obligated to

perform the Services without degradation and in accordance with this Agreement.

In the event that Roadway determines in good faith that the continued assignment

to the Roadway account of an ACS employee performing Services hereunder is not

in the best interest of Roadway, then Roadway shall give ACS written notice to

that effect. After receipt of such notice, ACS shall have a reasonable period of

time in which to investigate the matters stated in such notice, discuss its

findings with Roadway and resolve any problems with such employee. If, following

such period, Roadway requests replacement of such employee, ACS shall replace

that employee with a person of suitable ability and qualifications.

2.16 ROADWAY FACILITIES

 

(a) OFFICE AND DATA ROOM SPACE.

 

(i) Throughout the Term, Roadway shall make available to ACS adequate space in

Roadway's headquarters facility to permit ACS personnel to perform the Services

in accordance with this Agreement (such space as it may exist from time to time

being referred to as the "Designated Space"). ACS personnel who are assigned to

be on-site full time at Roadway's headquarters facility shall have access to the

Designated Space 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Designated Space shall

be separated from the remainder of Roadway's headquarters facility and shall

have either a separate entrance or an entrance immediately beyond Roadway's

guard station, as determined by Roadway. In either case, the location,

configuration and use of such entrance shall be subject to Roadway's security

requirements. Roadway shall cause the Designated Space to comply and be

maintained in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws,

including but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act. The manner in

which such compliance and maintenance is achieved (E.G., the type of fire

suppression system utilized) shall be determined solely by Roadway. ACS may

establish reasonable security procedures with respect to the Designated Space,

but Roadway shall have access to the Designated Space at all times upon

reasonable notice (which may be verbal or telephonic) to ACS (which notice shall

not be required for performing routine security checks or maintenance and repair

activities, or in the event of emergency). ACS agrees that the Designated Space

and the common areas described below are made available solely as a convenience

to Roadway, and that ACS does not have and will not assert any tenancy or other

occupancy right whatsoever with respect to any Designated Space or common areas.

 

(ii) From the Commencement Date through the Cutover Date, the Designated Space

shall consist of those portions of Roadway's AGO West (1077 Gorge Boulevard,

Akron, Ohio) and AGO East (557 East Tallmadge Avenue, Akron, Ohio) facilities

described or identified on SCHEDULE 2.16, which ACS initial Designated Space ACS

agrees is adequate. From and after the Cutover Date, Roadway shall have the

right in its sole discretion, exercisable from time to time throughout the

remainder of the Term, to change the Designated Space to another portion or

portions of the AGO West and/or AGO East facilities upon notice to ACS. ACS

acknowledges that, since as of the Cutover Date the data processing, support and

management services previously accommodated within the initial Designated Space

shall be transitioned to ACS' Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania facility, such

replacement Designated Space identified by Roadway from time to time following

the Cutover Date shall be smaller than the initial Designated Space and shall be

of such size as to accommodate only the Services which are not so transitioned.

At such time as the new Designated Space is made available for ACS' use, ACS

promptly shall vacate the former Designated Space. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, at all times the Designated Space shall be (i) of the same kind and

at the same level and quality as provided to comparable Roadway employees, and

(ii) adequate to permit ACS personnel to perform the Services in accordance with

this Agreement.

 

(iii) ACS shall not make any alterations or improvements to the Designated Space

without Roadway's prior written consent. In the event that ACS obtains Roadway's

approval of any such alteration or improvement, or if ACS elects to relocate any

of its personnel from one portion of the Designated Space to another portion of

the Designated Space, ACS shall pay for all of the costs thereof (including

without limitation the costs of set-up and of relocating or installing voice

data lines), which costs shall not be reimbursed by Roadway. In the event that

Roadway desires to alter or improve the Designated Space, or to relocate any of

ACS' personnel from one portion of the Designated Space to another portion of

the (or to different) Designated Space, Roadway shall pay for all of the costs

thereof (including without limitation the costs of set-up and of relocating or

installing voice data lines).

 

(iv) From time to time, whether pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(ii) above or at the

end or earlier termination of the Term, ACS shall cause its personnel to vacate

any Designated Space, and shall remove all of ACS' furniture or equipment

therefrom, promptly upon request by Roadway, leaving such Designated Space and

any Office Furniture (as defined herein) furnished by Roadway in at least as

good condition as such Designated Space or Office Furniture was in when first

made available to ACS, subject to ordinary wear and tear, the effects of

casualty (other than the intentional acts of ACS personnel), and any alterations

or improvements made or approved by Roadway.

 

(b) DIRECT COSTS. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement,

Roadway shall be responsible for the direct costs and expenses (I.E., rent, real

estate taxes, utilities and other related expenses, excluding telephone charges)

of the Designated Space. ACS shall provide its own phone equipment for use

within the Designated Space (to the extent that the phone equipment being used

by Caliber Technology, Inc. prior to the Effective Date is insufficient for ACS'

needs). Long-distance and other phone charges from the Designated Space shall be

the responsibility of ACS and shall not be reimbursed by Roadway.

(c) TRAINING AREA: In the event that Roadway and ACS agree to have ACS provide

training of Roadway personnel, Roadway shall make available to ACS as part of

the Designated Space an adequate area in Roadway's headquarters facility to

permit ACS personnel to perform such training services in accordance with the

agreement between Roadway and ACS. Such training area shall be subject to all of

the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Designated Space under

this Agreement.

 

(d) COMMON AREAS: ACS' personnel performing the Services under this Agreement

shall have the right to use, subject to availability and in common with Roadway

and its employees, agents and invitees, the conference rooms within Roadway's

Conference Center in the AGO West facility known as Conference Rooms 201-204,

the cafeteria located in the AGO West facility (subject to paying the same

prices as are charged therein to Roadway's employees), the lobbies and hallways

providing access to the Designated Space, and the restrooms in the building(s)

in which the Designated Space is located.

 

(e) OFFICE FURNITURE.

 

(i) Throughout the Term, Roadway shall make available to ACS within the

Designated Space adequate work surfaces and cubicles (the "Office Furniture" to

permit ACS personnel to perform the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

From the Commencement Date through the Cutover Date, such Office Furniture shall

consist of those items described or identified on SCHEDULE 2.16. From and after

the Cutover Date, Roadway shall have the right in its sole discretion,

exercisable from time to time throughout the remainder of the Term, to change

the Office Furniture so provided to ACS upon notice to ACS. ACS acknowledges

that, since as of the Cutover Date the data processing, support and management

services previously accommodated within the initial Designated Space shall be

transitioned to ACS' Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania facility, such replacement Office

Furniture provided by Roadway from time to time following the Cutover Date may

consist of less than the Office Furniture initially provided by Roadway and

shall consist only of such items as to permit ACS personnel to perform the

Services which are not so transitioned. At such time as any replacement Office

Furniture is made available for ACS' use, ACS promptly shall surrender the

former Office Furniture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times the Office

Furniture provided by Roadway to ACS shall be (i) of the same kind and at the

same level and quality as provided to comparable Roadway employees, and (ii)

adequate to permit ACS personnel to perform the Services in accordance with this

Agreement.

 

(ii) The Office Furniture or equipment which Roadway may make available for use

by ACS shall be strictly "as is" and without warranty, whether of

merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise. ACS shall

maintain in good condition and repair all Office Furniture made available by

Roadway to ACS.

 

(iii) In order to avoid any confusion over the ownership of furniture and

equipment, ACS shall prominently affix an identification label to all items as

to which ACS claims ownership or possession and which are located within the
