the volume of services, scope of services, service levels, complexity of the customer/service provider
relationship, degree of standardization of the workstations, terms and conditions of the contract governing
the services, any fmancing provided by the service provider, service delivery and receipt location(s) and
- 30 -

Each Party shall receive a copy of the Benchmarker's report which shall be treated as Confidential
Information of each Party and shall have an opportunity to review the same and make submissions with
respect to the findings contained in the Benchmarker's report prior to any adjustments. If the
Benchmarker's report indicates that the Charges for the Services and Service Levels are materially
different from the average total charges for the Services and Service Levels among the Representative
Sample, then the Parties shall discuss and agree upon whether the Charges for the Services or the Service
Levels shall be adjusted. Any such adjustments shall be subject to mutual agreement of the Parties in

ARTICLE 13 - BENEFIT SHARING AND GROWTH
13.1 Benefit Sharing Principles.
The Parties have agreed to the pursuit of future opportunities that bring benefit to the Parties including,
without limitation, opportunities to leverage the service platform established by IBM for the provision of
the Services, gaining economies of scale, and otherwise capitalizing on opportunities with third parties.
In respect of such, the Parties have agreed to the following benefit sharing principles:
(a) Where IBM or its Affiliates use the infrastructure established in respect of this
Agreement for other opportunities, there will be an allocation of costs on the basis of
actual utilization associated with or otherwise attributable to the Services provided in
respect of this Agreement. Only the Province's share of such costs will be allocated to
the cost of Services reflected in the Detailed Contract Profitability Report.
(b) Where either Party identifies an opportunity to extend the Services to the Broader Public
Sector within British Columbia ("Be BPS") and leverage the relationship between the
Province and IBM or its Affiliates to secure additional business for IBM or its Affiliates,
such Party will bring such opportunity to the attention of the other Party. The parties will
jointly consider the opportunity through Governance and determine whether and how to
proceed, documenting any resulting plans in writing. Where the Parties are successful in
securing the opportunity and extending the Services to the BC BPS entity, then the
volume price reductions from economies of scale shall be shared with the Province in
accordance with the volume-price banding and Charges adjustments as set forth in
Section 7 "Seat Charges and Price Banding" of Schedule F (Charges), provided that the
price per Seat and Charges shall not be adjusted until the total number of Seats of the
Province and the BC BPS, together, is greater than 30,800 Seats.
Neither Party will knowingly frustrate the Parties' ability to promote and extend the Services to the BPS.
Further, the Parties agree to not knowingly limit or reduce benefits accruing or potentially accruing to
either Party contemplated or intended under this Article 13 (Benefit Sharing and Growth) without mutual
consent.
13.2 Marketing and Reference Assistance.
IBM or the Province may identify new business opportunities to leverage the B.C. WSS infrastructure
within the public sector outside of British Columbia (which, for greater certainty, shall include the
Federal Government of Canada ("Non-BC Public Sector") that may be assessed by either Party to be an
opportunity that can leverage this Agreement to win the identified new business and may result in gains to
the Parties to be shared. In such cases, the Party learning of a Non-BC Public Sector opportunity shall
notify the other Party of such opportunity through Governance. Should IBM or any of its Affiliates
decide to pursue a Non-BC PlJ.blic Sector opportunity and make a request of the Province to assist with
such opportunity then prior to IBM or any of its Affiliates pursuing the opportunity with Province
assistance, the Parties shall determine, through Governance:
- 41 -
VANOl: 2017039vll
(a) the appropriate costs and expenses and the amounts thereof, for which IBM shall
reimburse the Province in connection with the Province providing marketing assistance
or providing references or responding to questions from the prospective Non-BC Public
Sector Client; and
(b) an appropriate compensation arrangement pursuant to which IBM shall compensate the
Province for its contribution in the event IBM and the Province are successful in winning
the Non-BC Public Sector business without proceeding through a request for proposal or
other similar tender process. The compensation arrangement shall be determined on a
case by case, opportunity by opportunity basis, in accordance with the principles set forth
in this Section and having regard for the roles and responsibilities of each Party and a fair
allocation of benefits to the Province for its contribution. In such event, the
compensation agreed upon under this Section shall be recognized by the Parties by way
of an appropriate set-off of such agreed compensation amount against the Charges, when
the opportunity is successfully secured or as mutually otherwise agreed.
IBM may identify new business opportunities within the private sector ("Private Sector"). Should IBM
or any of its Affiliates decide to pursue a Private Sector opportunity. and should IBM or any of its
Affiliates make a request of the Province to assist with such opportunity by providing references or
responding to questions from the prospective Private Sector Client, then IBM shall reimburse the
Province for any reasonable costs and expenses agreed in advance and incurred by the Province in
connection with the Province acting as a reference for IBM of any of its Affiliates.
13.3 Gain Sharing.
Where the IBM Margin is greater than 18% in connection with IBM providing Services to the Province,
including all Client Ministries, then the Province shall receive a Margin Sharing Credit calculated in the
manner set forth in Schedule F (Charges). Within 60 days after the end of each Contract Year, the
Parties shall review the Summary Financial Information, setting forth the calculation of the IBM Margin
for the immediately preceding Contract Year which shall be used to determine whether the Province is
entitled to any payment for accumulated margin sharing ("Margin Sharing Credits"). In the event the
Province is entitled to any Margin Sharing Credits, the total amount of such Margin Sharing Credits at the
end of each Contract Year shall be set-off by the Province against the Charges, or be deducted from any
sum due or which at any time may become due to IBM under this Agreement. The amount of the Margin
Sharing Credit shall ~ e reflected on the next monthly invoice delivered by IBM to the Province after
review by the Province of the Summary Financial Information and shall appear on such invoice as a credit
against amounts owing by the Province to IBM. To the extent that any amounts respecting the Margin
Sharing Credit are owing by IBM to the Province upon Termination, and there are no further Charges to
set-off such amounts then, upon Termination, IBM shall pay the outstanding amount of any Margin
Sharing Credit directly to the Province notwithstanding that this Agreement otherwise contemplates the
set-off of such amounts against the Charges.
Where the IBM Margin for the BC BPS portion of the Services is greater than 18%, then the Parties agree
to share any margin above such 18'10 equally (50/50). The Margin Sharing Credit for the Province's share
of any such margin above 18% will be set-off against the Charges on the next monthly invoice delivered
by IBM to the Province. The Parties acknowledge that there are no limits on IBM annual gross margin to
encourage IBM to reach the IBM Margin as quickly as possible.

control its defence of the Claim pursuant to Subsection 22.6(b)(i) (Third Party' Clazm

such Claim provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party has reached a bona fide

Term.
25.2 Services Recovery Plan.
Within ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date, IBM shall prepare and submit to the Province a
services recovery plan (the "Services Recovery Plan") in accordance with the provisions of Schedule X
(Services Recovery). IBM shall incorporate any changes as may be reasonably required by the Province
into the Services Recovery Plan taking into account the nature of the Services. From time to time as the
Province may reasonably request or as IBM shall determine to be necessary or desirable in light of the

supplements to the Labour Disruption Plan as may be made by IBM or ISM from time to time.
25.4 Labour Disruption.
In the event of an occurrence or probable occurrence of a Labour Disruption preventing or delaying the
performance of the obligations of IBM under this Agreement, IBM shall promptly notify Province by
telephone, or such other expedient means as required in' the circumstances, of the' particulars of the
Labour Disruption including reasonable details of the nature of the Labour Disruption, its expected
duration and the obligations of IBM under this Agreement that will be affected by such Labour
Disruption, and shall continue to furnish reasonable reports with respect thereto to the Province on a
timely basis during the continuance of such Labour Disruption. In respect of such notice, IBM may leave
a voicemail message with the Province if necessary, provided that any voicemail message shall not be_

within three (3) Business Days of any verbal contact. Prior to claiming a Labour Disruption, IBM shall
use any and all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or avoid such Labour Disruption.
25.5 Force Majeure Events.
A "Force Majeure Event" means the occurrence of an event or circumstance beyond the reasonable
control of a Party that interferes with, delays or prevents performance of the obligations of a Party under
this Agreement, provided that the non-performing Party is without fault in causing or failing to prevent
such occurrence, and such occurrence cannot be circumvented through the use of reasonable alternative
sources, work around plans or other similar means (including, with respect to IBM, by IBM using all
reasonable efforts to meet its Service Recovery Plan obligations described in Schedule X (Services
Recovery). Subject to the foregoing, a "Force Majeure Event" shall include the following:
(a) explosions, fires, floods, earthquakes, catastrophic weather conditions or other elements
or nature or acts of God;
(b) epidemics;
(c) acts of war (declared or undeclared), acts of terrorism, insurrection, riots, civil disorders,
rebellion or sabotage;
(d) failures or fluctuations in electrical power or telecommunication services or other similar

(f) other events which the Parties expressly agree in writing as constituting a "Force Majeure
Event".
25.6 Notice of Force Majeure Event.
If either Party is prevented from, or delayed in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement as
a result of a Force Majeure Event, then the Party claiming the Force Majeure Event shall promptly notify
- 90-

the other Party by telephone, or other expedient means as required in the circumstances (which does not
include, for greater certainty, leaving a voice mail message). That Party shall also provide the other Party
with a follow up written notice witflin five (5) Business Days of such Party becoming aware of the non-
performance or delay, of the particulars of the Force Majeure Event including reasonable details of the
nature of the event, its expected duration and the obligations under the Agreement that will be affected by
the event. The Party claiming the Force Majeure Event shall continue to furnish reasonable reports with
respect thereto to the other Party on a timely basis during the continuance of the Force Majeure Event.
25.7 Mitigation of Force Majeure Event.
Where a Party becomes aware of the occurrence of an event, condition or circumstance that could
reasonably be expected to cause such Party to claim a Force Majeure Event, then that Party shall use
reasonable efforts to prevent or avoid such event, condition or circumstance developing into a Force
Majeure Event. Failing prevention of the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event by the use of such
efforts, the Party claiming the Force Majeure Event shall, during the continuance of such Force Majeure
Event, use reasonable efforts to mitigate and minimize the effect of such Force Majeure Event, to reduce
and minimize any ensuing delay or interruption in the performance of its obligations under this-
Agreement, and to recommence performance of its obligations under this Agreement whenever and to
whatever extent possible without delay. For greater certainty, where a Force Majeure Event affects
performance of the obligations of both Parties under this Agreement, then both Parties may claim the
same Force Majeure Event for purposes of this Article 25 (Critical Services and Force Majeure). For
clarity, this Section 25.7 (Mitigation ofForce Majeure Event) does not affect IBM's obligation to provide
Services recovery as set forth in Schedule X (Services Recovery) provided that such Force Majeure Event
does not also prevent IBM from providing such Services recovery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IBM
shall not be relieved of its obligations under Section 25.8 (Consequences ofForce Majeure Event).
25.8 Consequences of Force Majeure Event.
During the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the obligations of the Party claiming the Force Majeure
Event, to the extent that its obligations cannot be performed directly or indirectly or are delayed as a
"result of such Force Majeure Event, shall be suspended, and such Party shall not be considered to be in
breach or default under this Agreement, for the period of such occurrence. The suspension of
performance shall be no greater in scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required to adjust
for effects of the Force Majeure Event. No obligation of either Party that existed prior to the" Force
Majeure Event causing the suspension of perfonnance shall be excused as a result of the Force Majeure
"Event, unless such obligation is a continuing obligation, the perfonnance of which is affected by the
Force Majeure Event. To the extent that IBM is unable to restore the Services, or any part thereof
promptly, IBM use its best efforts, at its own expense, to procure or otherwise obtain alternate services
from a qualified Person in replacement for or substitution of the affected Services during the period of
time such Force Majeure Event remains in effect. If a Force Majeure Event:
(a) substantially prevents, hinders, or delays IBM's performance of any discrete Service for
more than ninety (90) days, then the Province may terminate that discrete Service that is
affected by the Force Majeure Event, on a no-fault basis, by providing IBM with written
notice of termination to IBM and paying the proportion of termination costs set out in the
column entitled ''No-Fault'' of Schedule 0 (Termination Fees) attributable to the discrete
Service; or
(b) substantially prevents, hinders, or delays IBM's performance of all the Critical Services,
the Province may terminate this Agreement, on a no-fault basis, by providing IBM with a
- 91 -

written notice of termination and paying the termination costs set out for a "No-Fault" in
Schedule 0 (Termination Fees).
During the Force Majeure Event, the Province will continue to pay the Charges for the Services as set out
in Schedule F (Charges), provided that where the Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders, or
delays IBM's performance of the Services for longer than five (5) days, then the Parties may mutually
agree on a proportional payment reduction. In determining whether such a reduction is appropriate, the
Parties shall act reasonably, with due consideration for the actions that IBM is taking to attempt to restore
any or all Services and any interim service arrangement, and with a view to fulfilling the intent of
continuous payment. For certainty, where IBM has procured or otherwise obtained alternate services in
replacement for or substitution of the affected Services during the period of time such Force Majeure
Event remains in effect, there shall be no reduction of the Charges.
25.9 Establishing a Force Majeure Event.
The Party claiming that an event of Force Majeure has occurred shall bear the burden of proving the
existence of such event of Force Majeure and the consequences of such event.
25.10 Extension for Force Majeure Event.
Should there be a Force Majeure Event which interrupts the provision for the Services by IBM to the
Province, then the Term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended by one calendar month for
each calendar month (or partial calendar month that is five (5) Business Days or longer) of such
interruption.

26.1 Responsibility for Subcontractors.
IBM is the general contractor for the Services and remains responsible for all of its obligations under this
Agreement, regardless of whether IBM relies upon any Subcontractor to any extent. IBM's use of

(Hourly Services), such Services will be provided by IBM as set forth in this Section.
F-8
VAN01:2049705:v1
(b) Hourly Services Fees
1. When IBM performs Hourly Services, the Province will pay IBM for IBM's actual hours
expended in performing such Services at the agreed hourly rates (Hourly Services
Rates), plus IBM's expenses, incurred in providing such Hourly Services (Hourly
Services Expenses) (collectively Hourly Services Fees).
2. Hourly Services Expenses will include:
(i) materials charges (such as products, parts, shipping costs, applicabletaxes);
(ii) travel time from and to point of dispatch; provided IBM gives the Province advance
notice if such expenses will apply, and the Province approves such expenses.
(iii) actual reasonable travel and living expenses, provided IBM gives the Province advance
notice if such expenses will apply, and the Province approves. such expenses. IBM will
retain expense receipts.
3. Hourly Services Rates
(i) IBM will charge the Province for the actual number of hours expended by IBM, rounded
to nearest half hour, plus overtime or premium rates, multiplied by the applicable Hourly
Service Rates. ,Representative Hourly Services Rates are specified in Exhibit F-1. IBM
will provide the exact hourly rate during the ProjeCt planning process' or as such

1. different from the Services; or
1.3 in addition to the Services, but for which there is no charging methodology or for which'
the existing charging methodology was not intended to cover,
(each a New Service), then the Parties will follow the Change Order Process.
(b) If the additional services are covered by an existing charging methodology and do not require, for
example, start up expenses, the Province will pay the charges for such different or additional
services through such ,charging methodology. Such additional services will be considered
"Services" and will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) Pricing for a New Service could be Hourly Services Fees, or a fIXed price, or a monthly service
charge, as mutually agreed by the Parties.
F-9
VAN01:2049705:v1
2.7 Projects
If the Province requests ffiM to perform a New Service, which ffiM and the Province agree should be a
Project, IBM and the Province will develop a detailed plan describing the project (the Project Plan).
The Proj ect Plan will state ffiM's charges for such Proj ect, such as Hourly. Services Fees, or a fixed price,
or an adjustment to the charges set forth in this Agreement.
3.0 Economic Change Adjustment
(a) IBM will calculate an adjustment to all rates and other charges identified in Section 4.0 based
upon economic inflation (an Economic Change Adjustment or ECA) as described below
beginning April 2006. The ECA will be calculated on a prospective basis, for example, the actual
inflation for the year from May 2005 to May 2006 will determine the ECA to be applied in April
2007. The ECA will be determined as. soon as practicable after May of each year using the
formula below (the ECA Factor).
(b) The Province and ffiM agree to use the Canada Core Consumer Price Index determined by
Statistics Canada and by the Bank of Canada (www.bankofcanada.ca/en/cpi.htm)
CANSW identifier B3328 (Price Index), for purposes of determining actual inflation. In the
event such Price Index is no longer published or its content and format is substantially changed,
the Province and IBM will substitute another comparable index published at least annually by a
mutually agreeable source. If Statistics Canada merely redefmes the base year for the Price
Index from 1992 to another year, the Province and IBM will continue to use the Price Index, but
will convert the Base Year Index to the new base year by using an appropriate conversion
formula. .
(c) Actual Inflation
IBM will calculate the ECA by comparing the change in the year-to-year Price Index with the
Price Index for the year of the Commencement Date (the Base Year Index). For each Contract
Year of the Term, the actual Price Index for the year before the year for which the ECA is being
calculated (Actual Jnflation) will be compared to the Base Year Index in ExhibIt F-1 (for
example the 2005 Price Index will be used to determine the ECA starting in 2006). If Actual
Inflation is equal to or less than the Base Year Index, then no ECA is due. If, however, Actual
Inflation is greater than the Base Year Index, then IBM will apply the ECA to the Unit Prices and
ARC rates for the year for which IBM is calculating the ECA.
(d) ECA Factor
Calculate the ECA Factor as follows:
ECAFactor
Actual Inflation
Base Year Index
VAN01: 2049705: v1
[(Actual Inflation - Base Year Index) / Base Year Index]
The Rrice Index for the May before the Contract Year for which the ECA is
being calculated.
The Price Index for the May before the Commencement Date.
F -10
(e) ECA Calculation
1. The example below calculates the ECA based on the following assumptions:
(i) a Commencement Date in 2004;
(ii) a Base Year Index of the Price Index for May 2004;
(iii) ECA applies to Unit Prices and ARC rates beginning April 2006; and
(iv) the following Actual Inflation examples:
May 2004 =124.2
Actual Inflation
May
126.7
May
128.6
May
129.9
May
132.5
May
135.1
2. According to this example:
(i) there will be an ECA for Contract Years 2006 through 2010 because the Actual
Inflation for the year preceding each year is greater than the Base Year Index. To
determine the adjustment to the Full Client unit price and the Service Desk ARC
rate, in addition to other rate adjustments, using this example, assume:
(A) the Full Client price for April 2008 is being calculated in July of 2007
based on the actual inflation measured in May 2007
(B) the Full Client unit price in April 2008 is 54.51
(C) the Service Desk ARC rate in Apri12008 is 10.37 and
(D) the Service Desk RRC offset in April 2008 is 1.12
(ii) the calculation will be as follows:
Adjusted Rate Contract Rate x (1+ECA Factor)
ECAFactor
ECA: Factor

Service Desk adjusted ARC rate = $10.84
Service Desk adjusted RRC rate = 10.84 -1.012
Service Desk adjusted RRC rate = $9.72
(f) The rates that are subject to ECA are specified in Exhibit F-l "Summary of Charges".
4.0 Service Usage and Measurement Methodology
4.1 Generally
(a) As of the Commencement Date and each month thereafter, IBM will measure, track and report on
the Province's usage of Services in the categories set forth in this Section using the processes and
procedures in the Process Interface Manual.
(b) As of the Commencement Date, the quantity of service consumed for each category of Services
provided to the Province under this Agreement will be specified in Exhibit F-1 as a Baseline, and
the aggregate of Monthly Services charges for each. of the services in each Contract Year is
projected in Exhibit F-l as the Annual Services Charge.
4.2 Workstation Services
(a) Supported Client Devices
1. Service usage for this category will be measured as the number of Supported Client
Devices operational at the Facilities (as recorded in the asset database IBM maintains,
and measured according to the Process Interface Manual) during the applicable
measurement period. The asset database that IBM maintains will be updated based on
Supported Client Devices being deployed or decommissioned through the refresh
proj ects and the IMAC process defined within the Process Interface Manual. The
methodology for measuring Supported Client Devices from the Commencement through
to the end of Stage 4 Transition is set forth in Section 7.0 (Seat Charges and Price
Banding).
2. There are 2 classifications of Supported Client Devices, each having a separate Baseline
and Monthly Service Charge rate. Such classifications reflect the differences in the
allocation of shared or required infrastructure, equipment and software, maintenance and
support costs, infrastructure design or Service Level commitments:
(i) Full Client Device - a Supported Client Device that is a desktop or laptop which
contains, at a minimum, a Standard Operating System, and Core Software
(ii) Thin Client Device - a Supported Client Device that is an appliance device
which contains a Standard Operating System to access the virtual office desktop
tenhinal service, as defmed in Desktop Terminal Services B-18
"
3. The Service Charge for each classification of Supported Client Devices during a given
billing period shall be calculated by multiplying:
F -12
VAN01:2049705:v1
(i) the number of chargeable Service Units being consumed by the Province, its
Affiliates and Province-Identified Third Parties, by;
(ii) the applicable Service Unit rate for such Service Unit set forth in Exhibit F-l,
subject to the Economic Change Adjustment, Baseline Price Reset process, and
minimum and maximum collars as specified Section 7.0 "Seat Charges and Price
Banding".
4. The Monthly Services Charge for Supported Client Devices shall be calculated by
totalling the Service Charges for each of the Service Units calculated in accordance with
subsection 3 above.
5. A Supported Client Device will be considered operational:
(i) upon its Install to the Client Facility and addition to the asset inventory, or as
IBM discovers it and notifies the Province, or as IBM is otherwise notified by
the Province;
(ii) until ffiM de-installs it as an IMAC event and returns it to the warehouse or as
IBM is otherwise notified that it is a deinstalled unit; or
(iii) until it is classified as unserviceable in accordance with the Process Interface
Manual.
6. One Supported Client Device equals one Service Unit.
7. The Supported Client Device Baseline set forth in Exhibit F-1 reflects the proj ected
quantity of Supported Client Device Service Units and the aggregate bandwidths at
which the Unit Prices are applicable.
(b) Install, Move, Add, and Change Services
1. Service usage for this category will be measured as the aggregate number of Install,
Move, Add, and Change events ffiM performs during the applicable measurement
period. IMAC events are defmed as follows:
(i) Install means:
the unpacking and connection of an existing system unit in the warehouse that is
not listed as installed in the hardware asset inventory, including directly attached
peripheral devices that are part of the Standard Configuration and, upon
completion of such unpacking and connection, conducting the standard
installation tests to verify that the hardware and Core Software as per Work
Order are functional with network connectivity.'
(ii) Move means:
(A) Disconnecting and moving - a currently installed system unit, including
the directly attached peripheral devices, packing the equipment for
movement from the current Client User's location at a Facility to the new

Client User location within the same Facility (or if not within the same
Facility, as allowed on a case-by-case basis by the IMAC Coordination
process), unpacking and reconnecting the same system unit and the
directly attached peripheral devices and, upon completion of such
activities, conducting the standard installation tests to verify the
hardware and Core Software are functional as per Work Order with
network connectivity.
(B) Disconnect only (de-install) - for those system units ata Facility that are
being disconnected and which are not being reconnected at a new
location, disconnecting a currently installed system unit, including the
directly attached peripheral devices, and packaging the equipment for
movement from the current Client User location to a designated
warehouse for storage or staging area within the Facility for removal or
disposal.
(iii) Add means, with respect to:
(A) hardware - installing an additional external device (such as an external
modem, disk, printer scanner) and appropriate device driver to a
currently installed system unit.
(B) software - installing an additional Standard Products softWare suite, or
up to five software Standard Products, to a currently installed system
unit, (via electronic distribution, CD or other method).
(iv) Change means, with respect to:
(A) hardware - performing a modification to an existing system unit such as
a hardware upgrade (to add functionality) or a downgrade (to remove

1. The Full Client Device rate, Baselines, and ARC rates are based on the assumption that
Unmanaged Workstations as defined in Schedule B-17 ''Unmanaged. Workstations",
constitute no more than 20% of the Full Client Devices (Unmanaged Workstation
Assumption). Following the initial refresh, IBM will measure the number ofUnmanaged
Workstations to determine whether the actual numbers remain consistent with or lower
than the assumption.
2. In the event the Province's actual Workstations exceeds the Unmanaged
Workstation Assumption for three months, then during the next 60 days IBM and the
Province will mutually develop and implement a plan to either adjust the actual
Unmanaged Workstations back to the Unmanaged Workstation Assumption, or adjust the
Full Client Device rate, Baselines, arid associated ARC rates and RRC offsets. Before
implementing any adjustments to the Full Client Device rate, Baselines, and the
associated ARC rates and RRC offsets, the Province and IBM will discuss the rationale
for and the methodology used in determining such adjustments.
(k) VIP Support Services
1. IBM will provide VIP Support for BC government staff designated by the Province as
VIPs in order to receive an enhanced level of service. The Supported Client Device rates
are based on the number of VIPs calculated according the following formula, each

4.5 Planning Estimate ofForecasted Projects
The table below represents the reasonable estimated Charges for Project Services that will be incurred by
the Province and performed by IBM. Each Proj ect will be approved by the Province or the Client
Organization, as applicable, on a case-by-case basis. This is not intended to be a commitment of revenues
to lBM, but instead is intended to be used as iilfonnation for planning by the Parties. These planning
estimates will be reviewed and revised each year in conjunction with the Baseline Price Reset process for
Province budgeting purposes and IBM resource planning purposes.
Project Category FY04/05 FY05106
In Scope WSS $1,500,000 $6,200,000
Client Initiated $250,000 $3,800,000
Planned expenditures will not exceed, in their aggregate, $15,000,000 dollars for the year ending March
31,2006.
5.0 Additional or Reduced Service Usage
The Province's increased or decreased usage of Services within a Service category may result in either an
ARC or RRC. ARCs and MCs will be applied to the calculation-of a Baseline Price Reset according to
subsection 6.0 of this Section, or charged end of Term.
After the completion of each month during the Term, following the fIrst month after the Commencement
Date, IBM will calculate ARCs and RRCs as set forth in this Section.
(a) Calculation of ARCs for Service categories with an ARC Deadband
For the Province's usage of Service categories with an ARC Deadband within IMACs, Deskside
Support events, and Service Desk, IBM will calculate ARCs as set forth in this Section.
1. IBM will compare the quantity of Actual Service Units (SUs) used during the applicable
measurement period with the product of the Baseline multiplied by the sum of 1.00 plus
the ARC Deadband (the ARC Deadband Baseline) for that category. The ARC
Deadbands are set forth in the ARC and RRC Summary Chart below. There will be no
increase of charges otherwise payable to IBM for such period if the ,Actual SUs do not
exceed the ARC Deadband Baseline for such period. If the Actual SUs exceed the ARC
Deadband Baseline for that category for such period, IBM will include the ARC charge
in the calculation of the next Baseline Price Reset (or, if no future calculation will be
made, the Province will make payment to IBM) equal to the product of the ARC rate for
the a p p l i c a b l ~ category, as set forth in Exhibit F-l, multiplied by the difference between
the Actual SUs for that category and the ARC Deadband Baseline for that category.
2. For example, assuming the following, the ARC calculation would be as follows:
F - 21
VAN01: 2049705: v1
(i) the Actual SUs for Service Desk Calls for a month are 31,000 Calls
(ii) the Service Desk Baseline ratio is 0.94 call/client/month
(iii) the actual number of Supported Client Devices is 27,000 full clients and 3,000
thin clients, for a total of 30,000 Supported Client Devices
(iv). the Service Desk Baseline is 30,000 calls per month (30,000 x 0.94)
(v) the ARC Deadband is five percent, and
(vi) the Service Desk ARC rate is $10.84 per call
ARC [{Actual SUs - (Baseline x (1.00 +ARC Deadhand))} x ARC Rate]
ARC (Actual SUs - ARC Deadband Baseline) x ARC Rate
ARC [{31,000 - (30,000 x .94) x (1.00 + .05)} x $10.84]
ARC (31,000 - 28,200*(1.05 x {$10.84}
ARC (31,000-29,610) x {$10.84}
ARC 1,390 x {$10.84}
ARC $15,072.36
3. In this example, the ARCs for Calls for the month would be $15,072.36.
(b) Calculation of ARCs for Service categories without an ARC Deadband
IBM and the Province acknowledge that there are no ARCs in Service categories without an
ARC.Deadband. The following calculation and example are provided for illustration only.
1. IBM will compare the quantity of SUs actually used during the applicable measurement
period (the Actual SUs), with the Baseline for that category. There will be no increase
of the charges otherwise payable to IBM for such period if the Actual SUs do not exceed
the Baseline for such period. If the Actual SUs exceeds the Baseline for such period, the
Province will pay IBM an ARC. with the current or future charges (or, if no future
charges will be due, make payment to ffiM) equal to the product of the ARC rate forthe
applicable category, as set forth in Exhibit F-l, multiplied by the difference between the
Actual SUs for that category and the Baseline. For example, assuming the following, the
ARC calculation would be as follows: .
(i) the ' ~ c t u a l SUs for Example Service for a month is 14 units,
"" ;
(ii) the Example Service Baseline is 12 units, and
(iii) the ARC rate is $100.00 per unit.
F - 22
VAN01: 2049705: v1
ARC .
ARC = (Actual SUs - Baseline) x ARC Rate
ARC = (14 - 12) x $100.00
ARC = 2 x $100.00
ARC = $200.00
2. In this example, the ARC for Example Service for the month would be $200.00.
(c) Calculation of RRCs for Service categories with an RRC Deadband
For the Province's usage of Service categories with a RRC Deadband within the Service Desk,
Deskside Support, and llYfACs, IBM will calculate RRCs as set forth in this Section.
1. IBM will compare the quantity of Actual SUs with the product of the Baseline multiplied
by the difference of 1.00 minus the RRC Deadband (the RRC Deadband Baseline) for
that category. The RRC Deadbands are set forth in the ARC and RRC Summary Chart
below. There will be no reduction of the charges otherwise payable to IBM for such
period if the Actual SUs is equal to or greater than the RRC Deadband Baseline for such
period. If the Actual sDs is less than the RRC Deadband Baseline for that category for
such period, IBM will include the RRC in the calculation of the next Baseline Price
Reset (or, if no future calculation will be made, make payment to the Province) equal to
the product of the RRC rate (ARC rate minus RRC offset) for the applicable category, as
set forth in Exhibit F-l, multiplied by the difference between the Actual SUs for the
category and the RRC Deadband Baseline for that category.
2. For example, assuming the following, the RRC calculation would be as follows:
(i) the Soft llYfAC Actual SUs for a month are 380 llYfACs,
(ii) the Soft llYfAC Baseline ratio is .17 IMACs/client/year
(iii) the actual number of Supported Client Devices is 27,000 full clients and 3,000
thin clients, for a total of 30,000 Supported Client Devices .
(iv) the Soft llYfAC Baseline is calculated as 425 J1v.1ACs per month (30,000 * .17 /
12)
(v) the RRC Deadband is five percent, and
(vi) the Soft llYfAC ARC rate is $60.65 per IMAC event
(vii) the Soft llYfAC RRC offset is $6.50 per IMAC event

6.0 Baseline Price Reset
6.1 Introduction
Starting in June of 2006 and completing by end of July 2006, and repeating each June to July thereafter,
IBM will calculate the adjustments to the rates and Baselines that will be applicable in the next Contract
Year (Baseline Price Reset). The adjustments shall be applied in the following order:
1. Economic Change Adjustment is applied to all rates subject to ECAin accordance with
ARC and RRC charges of the previous 12 months, ifany, are aggregated and applied to
the Supported Client Device rates as described below in Section 6.2
2. Baseline adjustments, if any, are applied to the Baselines and the associated change in
charges are aggregated and applied to the Supported Client Device rates as described
below in Section 6.3
6.2 ARC and RRC Charge Adjustment
IBM will adjust the Supported Client Device rates with the Province's actual consumption of ARCs and
RRCs according to the methodology described below.
(a) In accordance with Section 5.0 (Additional Reduced Service Usage) IBM will calculate the
monthly ARCs and RRCs for each service category for each of the previous 12 months using the
ARC rates and RRC rates adjusted by the ECA applicable for the respective contract years.
(b) The sum total of ARC and RRC charges for the 12 month period will be applied equitably to the
reset of the Full Client Device and Thin Client Device rates for the next Contract Year using the
following methodology: .
1. IBM and the Province will establish the planned volume of Supported Client Devices for
the next Contract Year.
2. IBM will calculate ECA-adjusted rates for the Full Client Device and Thin Client
Device, bY,applying the Economic Change Adjustment methodology, which is described
in Section 3" ... as <,applicable.
3. The ARC and RRC charge adjustment is the total ARC and RRC charges divided by the
planned volume of Supported Client Devices and divided by 12 months.
F - 25
VAN01: 2049705: v1
4. ARC and RRC Charge adjustment = (Total 12 month ARC and RRC charges) 1(planned
volume) 112 months
5. The adjusted rates for the Full Client Device and Thin Client Device will be the sum of
the ECA-adjusted rate for the respective service plus the ARC and RRC charge
adjustment.
Adjusted service unit price = (ECA-adjusted service unit price) + (ARC and RRC charge
adjustment) .
(c) ARC and RRC Charge Adjustment Calculation
1. The example below calculates the adjusted rates for an ARC and RRC charge
adjustment, based on the following assumptions:
(i) The ECA-adjusted rates for the 2010/2011 Contract Year is $51.83 for Full
Client Devices and $45.99 for Thin Client Devices
(ii) The planned volume for the 2010/2011 Contract Year is 30,000 Supported Client
Devices and
(iii) The total Service Desk, Th1AC, and Deskside Support ARC and RRC charges for
the 12 months previous to July 2009 are $100,000.00

Total Annual ARC $350,000.00

6.3 Baseline Adjustment
If IBM and the Province agree that a baseline for Service Desk, IMACs, or Deskside Support should be
adjusted either up or down for the next Contract Year, the methodology for resetting the Full Client
Device and Thin Client Device rates will be as follows:
(a) IBM will compare the agreed to adjusted,baseline with the existing contract baseline for the next
Contract Year.
(b) The baseline change will be calculated as the difference between the agreed to adjusted baseline
and the existing contract baseline.
Baseline change = [(adjusted baseline) - (contract baseline)]
(c) The baseline adjustment rate will be an increase or a reduction depending on whether the
baseline change is greater than zero or less than zero respectively.
If the baseline change is greater than zero, then the baseline' adjustment rate is equal to the
baseline change multiplied by the ECA-adjusted ARC rate:
Baseline adjustment rate = (baseline change) x (ECA-adjusted ARC rate)
If the baseline change is less than zero, then there will be a baseline adjustment change equal to
the baseline change multiplied by the ECA-adjusted RRC rate.
Baseline adjustment rate =(baseline change) x (ECA-adjusted RRC rate)
(d) The baseline adjustment rate will be applied to the ECA-adjusted Full Client Device and Thin
Client Device rates, either equally or by some other reasonable method agreed to by IBM and the
Province.
(e) The example below calculates the adjusted rates for a Baseline adjustment, based on the
following assumptions:
1. The Supported Client Device rates for Contract Year 2010, after adjusting for ECA and
ARC and RRC charges as described in Section 6.2, is $52.80 for the Full Client Device
and $46.96 for the Thin Client Device
2. IBM and the Province agree to change the Baseline for Service Desk from .86 to .75 calls
per user per month and
3. The ECA-adjusted RRCrate for Service Desk in Contract Year 2010 is $9.38 per call

7.0 Seat Charges and Price Banding
(a) Seat Charging Methodology
1. This section sets out the process and approach to determine the quantity of Supported
Client Devices to which seat charges will apply. In addition this section describes how
the Province and IBM have agreed to amend the quantity of Supported Client Devices
during and to the end of the first hardware refresh period.
The Province and IBM have agreed that the charges for Supported Client Devices (seats)
will be determined as follows;
(i) Chargeable Seats
A chargeable seat will be a Supported Client Device that is registered in the asset
inventory database as 'installed'. This means the Supported Client Device has
been deployed from the asset warehouse and has a record of information that the
device was installed at a Facility. Devices that are recorded as not installed such
as those in the warehouse are not subject to the seat charges. The inventory will
be adjusted to reflect the 'installed' status of Supported Client Devices during
eachmonth to account for changes that are the result of IMAC, hardware refresh,
or other Project Services activities.
(ii) Effective Date of Seat Charges
When a new or redeployed Supported Client Device is installed, the seat charges
will begin at the beginning of the month following the month in which it was
installed.
(iii) Ending Date of Seat Charges
When a Supported Client Device is de-installed, the status of the Supported
ClientWorkstation will be changed within the asset inventory database to a
status other than 'installed'. The charges for the seat will be discontinued at the
end 'of the month that the seat is de-installed.
(iv) Unused Client Devices
F -28
VAN01: 2049705: v1
Supported Client Devices that are in 'installed' status in the asset inventory
database will continue to be subj ect to the seat charges until the device status is
changed to a status other than 'installed'. The status can only be changed by the
decommissioning of the machine or replacement of the machine as a result of a
refresh, IMAC, or Proj ect that causes the machine to be returned to the asset
warehouse. Exceptions to this must be agreed to by IBM and the Province.
2. Timing of Monthly Seat Count
The number of seats to be charged for each month will be de determined on the nearest
Business Day to the 27th of the month for the purposes of creating the monthly invoice
for seats. The invoice will detail the active seats by desktop, laptop, and thin client.
Backup documentation to substantiate invoice detail will be provided for each Client
organization.
3. Interim Seat Count for Charges
(i) Starting on the Commencement Date, the seat count will be the planning number
of seats advised to ffiM during the JSD Phase of the JSRFP. This planning
number is 28,800 seats and has been validated by the Parties during due
diligence as being accurate to the best of our shared and collective lmowledge, It
is considered to be an accurate and reliable phl.nning number that will serve as
the basis for determining the interim seat quantities. These planning numbers
will be called the Interim Seat Counts. The total Interim Seat Count will be
23,150 for FY04/05 and 28,800 for FY05106 and FY06/07 and are distributed
across the Client organizations as set out in the table below.
(ii) IBM will invoice the Province for the seat charges based on the Interim Seat
Counts as set out below for each Client organization until the identified Client
organization has completed their respective workstation refresh as part of the
Stage 4 Transition. Immediately upon completion of the refresh for each Client
organization, the seat counts will be adjusted to the actual count of Supported
Client Devices for that Client organization and future charges will be based on
the actual number of 'installed' Supported Client Devices. The actual quantity
will apply to the next invoice issued after the end of the refresh.
(iii) After Stage 4 is completed the Province will be invoiced monthly for the actual
Supported Client Devices that are 'installed' in the asset inventory data base
across all Client organizations.

Client User desktops and is usually part of a Province enterprise license agreement. Software in this
category has been tested for use within the Enterprise Image and is deployed and installed as part of a
Supported Desktop.
Supported Software is Supported Desktop software that is used extensively across Client organizations.
Typically there are sufficient quantities in use or other business related reqlJirements to warrant the cost of
providing Full Supported Software for the Client User using this software. Software in this category has
been tested for use within the Enterprise Images on a project basis and is deployed and installed in a
mutually agreed process.
3.1.1. IBM Responsibilities, in addition to the general responsibilities listed above

Exhibit N- 2 - 9100 Audit Sample Report
SAMPLE REPORT [procedures to be clarified when planning the work to meet the stated
objectives - the procedures will also reflect the sample sizes and/or how the procedures were
perfonned]
[To addressee - party with whom PricewaterhouseCoopers contracts]
As specifically agreed, we have perfonned the following procedures in connection with the
British Columbia Government's Desktop Outsourcing Contract (Contract) with IBM Canada
Limited (IBM) for the year ended December 31,2005.
Summary Financial Information
We agreed the Summary Financial Infonnation provided to the British Columbia Government
with the IBM report called Detailed Contract Profitability Report.
We determined that the total revenues, costs and gross profit methodologies used in the creation
of the Detailed Contract Profitability Report for this Contract was consistent with the
methodologies used on other IBM Global Services outsourcing contracts where IBM customers
received the same or similar services.
We determined that the Project Executive's remuneration was based on the Detailed Contract
Profitability report.
We agreed the amounts recorded in the Detailed Contract Profitability Report with the general
ledger and project costing records of IBM.
We reviewed the methodology used to charge costs to the Detailed Contract Profitability Report
for consistent application throughout the year and for consistent application with other customers
of IBM Global Services that received the same or similar services.
We detennined that the fully-burdened labour rates used to charge costs to the Detailed Contract
Profitability Report were consistent with those charged to other IBM customers that received the
same or similar services.
We determined that the costs charged to the Detailed Contract Profitability Report were reviewed
periodically and were adjusted x times in the year to reflect under or over recovery of costs within
each cost category. We determined that this methodology was applied consistently to other IBM
customers that received the same or similar services.
Revenues
We agreed revenues with the amounts billed under the Contract and with the general ledger.
Labour Costs
We detennined that labour costs were charged to the Detailed Contract Profitability Report based
upon the number of hours worked by employees of IBM and ISM Canada under the Contract in
accordance with the applicable labour pool multiplied by the average rate for eachjob band.
- 5-
VANOl:2049306:v2
We detennined that average labour rates for each job band labour pool were consistently applied
and were the same or lower than labour pool rates applied to other ffiM customers who received
the same or similar services.
We compared xx hours charged under the Contract to time sheets using a statistical sampling
methodology and determined that the time charged related to work carried out under the Contract.
Subcontractor costs
We tested a sample of subcontractor charges and related invoices to confinn that outsourcing
charges were for the use of the subcontractors who provided services under the Contract and that
the services were received and were charged at the Contract rate.
Hardware and software costs
We confinned that hardware and software charges were only for dedjcated assets used for the
delivery of services under the Contract.
Maintenance
We confinned that maintenance charges were only for dedicated assets used for the delivery of
services under the Contract.
1. Facilities
We confirmed that facility charges were included as part of the fully-burdened labour rates as '
appropriate in relation to the location of the employee.
Overhead load
We detennined that the methodology used to calculate and allocate burden rates by classification
of employee labour pool was consistently applied to the Detailed Contract Profitability Report
and was consistent with other ffiM customers that received the same or similar services.
We agreed management's determination of the three highest variances in the fully-burdened
labour rate year over year.
Client Representation Letter
Would be obtained from ffiM Canada. This audit step supports the accuracy and completeness of
the financial infonnation found within the Detailed Contract Profitability Report.
We have limited our testing to specified audit procedures of financial infonnation contained
within the Detailed Contract Profitability Report and the elements included in such report, such as
the fully-burdened labour'tates, hours, hardware and software, maintenance charges, and
overhead charges. We found that these charges were consistent with IBM's methodology when
applied to this Contract and other ffiM customers that received the same or similar services.
- 6-
VANOI: 2049306: v2
It is understood that this report is to be used solely for computing the "gross profit" cap of 18%
set out in section X of the agreement and is not to be referred to or distributed to any person
outside of the Government of British Columbia, except as may be required under statute.
As a result of applying the above procedures, we found no (the following) exceptions (list of
exceptions). However these procedures do not constitute an audit of the Summary Financial
Information and therefore we express no opinion on the amounts shown therein as at March 31,
20xx.

Schedule
S - Operational Reporting
1.0 Introduction
The operational reporting system is designed to provide the Province, specifically the CITS management
team and the various Ministries, with a clear and consistent view of the reporting information related to
the Services.
The reporting system consists of 3 separate interrelated reporting delivery mechanisms:
I. -- A digital dashboard accessible by both Province management staff and a limited number
of Client to a maximum of 60 Client Users.
2. Monthly enterprise level reports which include:
the operations report; and
the operational configuration change activity report:
The operations report will provide information assessing IBM's performance during the
previous calendar month against Service Level Requirements and Service Level
Objectives targets. This report will be distributed to the Province and is an enterprise
wide report. This report will contain information and metrics on each Service area,
results from any root cause analysis performed on missed Service Level Requirements
and trending information with interpretive comments related to the impact on the
Services from the Province business initiatives. The monthly operations report will also
include management information from the asset management database.
The operational configuration change activity report will provide information on the
quantity and relative success of change events that either impacted the Services or were
related to the provisions of the Services. This report will be based on the previous
month's Operational Change Management activity and will be created from or modified
from the operational configuration change activity reports provide by the Province
Operational Change Management system. The stock reports produced by the Province
Operational Change Management system may be annotated by IBM as required.
3. The quarterly Client report is a report that provides detailed information by Ministry.
Additional groups such as a Province Agency may be added subject to mutual agreement
or by the Change Order Process. As of the Commencement Date are 21
different units receiving Services. These Client Units are listed below in Exhibit
S-l. The quartedy Client level report provides only statistical information. This report
includes information related to the Client subscribed Services, where such Services have
reportable characteristics and have been listed by the Province as included in the Client
report.

VPUNOl:2049283:vl
2.0 Digital Dashboard
Access to the digital dashboard will confonn to the following rules:
Access by named Client Users as defined by the Province; and
Infonnation a c c e ~ s will be specific to the individual Client Users area ofresponsibility.
For example, the Provincial management staff would see summary and detailed infonnation spanning the
entire Province asset base in relation to the Services and the Client staff would see summary infonnation
on the asset based in relation to the Services and detailed infonnation related to their Ministry only. The
intent is to provide infonnation appropriate to the Client Users role and span of responsibility in the
Province.
The digital dashboard is a custom web site developed for use under this Agreement with the following
features:
A daily roll up page(s) with key operational metrics represented by colour coding of green,
yellow and red.
o Green will signify that the metric report is fully attained,
o Yellow will signify that the metric was not fully attained but within =<5% of the Service
Level metric; and
o Red will signify that the metric was not attained with a >5% gap from the Service Level
metric.
Weighting and calculation methods will be fully documented in the Process Interface Manual and
the Service Levels displayed as documented in Schedule D.
For the purposes of the digital dashboard, key operational metrics will be those metrics for
Services that are covered by Service Level Requirements, not Service Level Objectives.
The digital dashboard will display the key operational metric in the colour coding described
above based on a Province wide calculation basis only and be available to all digital dashboard
users.
A repository of Client User downloadable ad hoc reports will be made available to' Client
Users as follows:
o daily and weekly format from IBM's incident and asset management systems;
o five (5) common database queries developed in consultation with the Province and
Client;
o Exhibit S2 lists 5 queries outputs that will be loaded into the digital dashboard at digital
dashboard startup. Addition, deletion and changes to these queries will be reviewed semi-
annually with.:he Province.
A historical repository of Client User downloadable files containing the last twelve (12)
monthly and the last four (4) quarterly reports prepared under Section 3,4 and 5 below.

on notice to the Province.
Rescue and Recovery Ultra - (an IBM ThinkVantage Technology tool) Helps employees resolve
system issues by themselves. RRU is a one-button backup and recovery solution with a self-help interface
that assists users in restoring files, folders and the entire software image - even if the primary OS will not
start up. Boost security with convenience. This solution enables rapid and direct deployment of fixes for
worms, viruses and security patches. According to Technology Business Research (TBR) Rescue and
Recovery can help eliminate the need for an on-site visit to re-image a PC - an advantage that can save up
to $400 per incident (March 2003).
IBM System Information Center - (an IBM ThinkVantage Technology tool) ISIC provides the IT
administrator with an electronic inventory management solution to track both hardware and software
assets. It can provide web-based reports including both standard and ad hoc reports that can be saved for
later use.
Embedded Security Subsystem - (an IBM ThinkVantage Technology tool) ESS is a hardware and
software based solution that provides network security, as well as the protection of confidential
information stored on a systems hard drive. The ESS is a security chip with an encryption engine and
secure storage area that IBM embeds on the main board of ThinkPads, S5l/M51 's and selected S50/M50
PCs.
Access IBM - (an IBM ThinkVantage Technology tool) provides one button access to a number of
support tools, including educational resources, on-line forums and chats.
IBM Access Connections - (an IBM ThinkVantage Technology tool) is a laptop tool for easily
managing wired, wireless and dial-up connections as well as allowing the user to change the window
default printer by location. Users can easily create profiles for the network locations they expect to utilize
network connections, dramatically reducing calls to help desks and improving productivity of the end
users.
Additionally it is also able to easily create a profile for wireless hotspots so users can easily connect in
areas such as airports and hotels.
Active Protection System - (an IBM ThinkVantage Technology tool) featured on ThinkPad laptops,
uses a combination of hardware and software technologies to help protect a users hard drive from one of
its greatest enemies - drops or shocks. When actively reading or writing data onto the disk, it is at its
most vulnerable time for damage due to drops. Active Protection System works by constantly monitoring
the movement of the system, temporarily parking the hard drive head in a safe location if a drop, shock or
movement is imminent. Once the damaging event is past, the hard drive resumes to normal operation.
System Migration Assistant - (an IBM ThinkVantage Technology tool) (SMA) A program that can be
used to backup and restore if needed a complete set of the client's personalization features and network
settings. When moving to a new PC, SMA can quickly make that transition seamless to the client by
restoring all their network settings as well as things like desktop color and resolution preferences,
bitn1aps, themes, desktop iC0!1s etc. with the click of a single icon.
Software Delivery Assistant ~ (an IBM ThinkVantage Technology tool) SDA is a tool that allows for
the creation and management of an organizations entire suite of software applications. SDA allows for the
consolidation of the various applications within a company into a single application image that is loaded
onto each PC as a master application image. Appropriate applications can then be selectively installed per
the users requirements either through selections prior to the installation or through a set of questions
Y - 15
VANOl: 2049199: v6
answered by the end user. Once the appropriate applications are installed for the user, the unused

Wake on LAN - Comes on all ThinkCenter PC's. This is the cornerstone technology required to enable
remote manageability and was an IBM first that has now been moved to an industry standard status.
Alternate Boot Sequence - What good is remote startup capability if a client leaves a diskette in the
system when he goes home? With ABS support in IBM PC's, the system knows whether it has been
awakened by the depression of the power button or by a remote manager. if awakened remotely, it uses an
alternate boot sequence set in CMOS that bypasses diskette drive and hard drive and boots directly to the
network (RDM).
PXE - Pre-boot Execution Environment - Enabled and available on every IBM PC with Wake on LAN
capability. Allows for remote management by providing the capability to boot a PC and execute code
even if there is no OS on the client.

manage the Transition using the project plans and a Transition project management sys-
tem established during the Transition startup. IBM uses its project management method-
ology and repositories of intellectual capital to facilitate a smooth and efficient transition.
IBM and the Province will jointly create step-by-step plans with clear decision points.
Once major implementation activities are complete, IBM will have readiness reviews to
ensure that all plan deliverables are in place as agreed in the exit criteria.
3. Transition close - the processes in the close phase define the steps to effectively end the
Transition project and confirm completion of all deliverables associated with it
4.0 Transition Team Roles and Responsibilities

Plan.
2. The IBM overall Transition Manager and the Province overall Transition Manager will
report to the Joint Program Office and provide regular status reports as defmed by the
Joint Program Office.
3. The Transition Team will consist of members defined in the roles table below. Each
party will be responsible for the assignment of members for their team. In addition, each
party will provide resources as necessary to complete activities for Stage 2 and Stage 3
within the agreed project timelines.
4. The Transition Team will work together to facilitate the completion of the Transition
Plan activities according to the agreed schedule and processes. The Transition Team will
meet as defined by the Transition Plan to review the status of the Transition Plan activi-
ties and to address any issues.
5. Transition Team members will be assigned specific tasks to be accomplished within the
time frames set forth in the Transition Plan. Required coordination will take place
through the Transition meetings chaired by the Transition Managers. The Transition
team will determine the frequency and location of all scheduled meetings. At a mini-
mum, there will be a weekly meeting with the Province and IBM management to review
the status of the Transition.
6. Each Transition Team member will present issues, concerns and comments at the sched-
uled meetings or as necessary. The plan for resolving issues, including the identification

IBM Global Services
Assignment of 3
rd
Party Contracts
1. Introduction
In the proposal made by IBM on June 1, I IBM made certain assumptions related to the value and scope
of 3
rd
Party contracts and represented those assumptions within the Economic Model that was submitted.
The primary assumption was that the Province would retain the third.party contracts, and the parties
would work together in Due Diligence to jointly wind-down the contracts to the extent possible in order to
minimize the stranded cost to government. Subsequent to June 1 the Province and IBM have discussed
the values, scope, required durations, and risks associated with the portfolio of contracts that need to be
retained during the transition period. The Province has requested that IBM take Assignment of these
contracts to reduce the Province's costs for administration and management of these contracts. In
addition, the Province wishes to avoid the risk associated with the uncertainty of the end dates of these
contracts due to any delays in the transition of the services from the 3
rd
parties to IBM.
2. Proposal Summary
IBM proposes to take the responsibility of these 3
rd
party contracts through a variety of approaches using
the most appropriate approach for each contract. These approaches may include: .
Assignment of the contracts to IBM
Termination of contracts and establishing new contracts directly with the 3
rd
Party
IBM proposes to take responsibility for the following contracts
Microserve contract for services at the Ministry of-Attorney General
Nexlnnovation contract for services at t h ~ Ministry of Education
Compugen contracts (2) for services at the Ministry of Forests
Sonoma contract for services at the Ministry of Provincial Revenue
Syscom contract for services at Ministry of Human Resources
EDS contract for services at Ministry of Human Resources
RMI Financial contract for services at the Office of the Premier.
The proposal assumes that re'sponsibility for these contracts is effective January 1, 2005.
Workplace Support Services Page 1 of 5
Proposal for Assignment of 3
rd
Party Contracts
3. A p p r o a ~ h
The approach to quantifying and completing the assignment process, including determining the final cost
is based on three primary steps:
1. Establishing agreement from the vendors to the assignment including their agreement to provide
the best estimate of the costs of the in-scope services
2. Establishing the detailed list of service responsibilities and their committed fixed or maximum
price of the in-scope services
3. Completing and signing the Agreements for Assignment.

Probably OK, checking with their head office

5. Implementation Strategy
The initial contract handling strategy is currently anticipated to be as follows:
MinistryNendor
Assignment
Comments
YES/NO
Attorney General/ Microserve NO IBM win establish a new contr9ct directly with Microserve
~
This will be handled by contract assignment. The Ministry
Education / Nexlnnovation YES desires that the 1M portion of this subcontract be
assumed and included as a service under WSS.
Forests / Compugen YES Two contracts will be handled by contract assignment.
This will be handled by contract assignment. The Ministry
Provincial Revenue / Sonoma YES
will have to establish a new contract directly with Sonoma
Group for the non-WSS portion that continues until March
...
31,2005
This will be handled by contract assignment. The Ministry
Human Resources / Syscom YES desires that the 1M portion of this subcontract be
assumed and included as a service under WSS.
Workplace Support Services Page 2 of 5
Proposal for Assignment of 3
rd
Party Contracts
This will be handled by contract assignment. This
contract is project based. Current assumption is that all
Human Resources I EDS YES projects or project work scope can be transferred to IBM
on or before MHR has completed Stage 3 of the WSS
Agreement.
Office of the Premier I
IBM prefers to establish a contract directly with RMI
RMI Financial
NO under IBM standard terms using an Agency for
independent contractors.
This contract mechanics may change after further due diligence and negotiation occurs with the 3
rd
party
vendors.
6. Policy and Contract Considerations
There are requirements within the Master Services Agreement (MSA) to flow down specific contract terms
to IBM IBM requests that specific exemption be made to waive this obligation with
respect to the contracts that are the subject of this proposal. This is felt to be appropriate given the
sunset nature of these contracts, and the Provinces desire to complete the assignment as soon as
practically possible.
Where these subject contracts are a combination of in-scope and out-of-scope services, either CITS or
the associated ministry will be required to take the necessary steps to have the out-of-scope services
taken care of after the Assignm.ent is complete. The options for handling these out-of-scope services
include:
Establishing a new agreement with the 3
rd
Party vendor
Executing the appropriate tendering process to renew or replace the vendor
Leverage the provisions within the WSS Agreement with IBM to have IBM provide New Services
that are sufficientry related to WSS or within the original intent of the Province to be included in
WSS. Under this provision, IBM i.s prepared to contract directly with the ministries for these new
services or delivery the services under the WSS Agreement with CITS. This is the most
advantageous for the Ministry and should minimize the overall cost and complexity to the
Province.
7. Responsibilities of the Parties
IBM will:
carry out sufficient due diligence to further define the contract values, scope, risk, and potential
for variance to the C9sts
endeavor to minimize'the transitional resources required and the associated costs that may flow
down to both the Province and IBM from the 3
rd
party contractors.
assign a Project Manager to manage the contracts from an operational perspective, including
completion of the step down and termination activities
Workplace Support Services
Page 3 of 5
Proposal for Assignment of 3
rd
Party Contracts
assign procurement and contract specialists to complete the necessary assignment agreements.
The Province will:
assist IBM's due diligence activities to get specific details of the cost and scope of the contracts
provide assistance to IBM to assume management of the contracts
continue to pay for the contracts up to the effective date of the assignment, and then pay IBM
directly post assignment (till July 31 st,2005 or earlier in the event of early wind-down).
The responsibilities of the 3
rd
parties will be outlined within the transfer agreements and in other
communications between IBM and the 3
rd
parties.
In the event that there are Ministry responsibilities to be carried out with each ministry involved, CITS will
have the primary responsibility for communicating those responsibilities.
8. Charges
The charges to the Province through this arrangement will be as follows:
100% of the actual contract costs for the period of January 1 to March 31 plus 7.5% plus;
$581,,833 plus 7.5% for the period of Apri/1, 2005 to July 31,2005 plus; and
$100,000 for project management and administration to March 31, 2005.
Summary of Charges
January to March (estimate)
April 1 to July 31, 2005 (fixed)
PM and Administration to March 31 (fixed)
PM and Administration post March 31, 2005
Total Amount
$938,206
$625,471
$100,000
No Charge
$1,663,677
9. Risks and Dependencies
The following risks have been identified with the assignment of these contracts:
Changes to the transition plan that alter the step down assumptions
Unidentified p r o j e c t ~ that may be planned for next fiscal that are not in the current year contract
values
"
The 3
rd
parties increase their prices for granting an extension to IBM
The 3
rd
parties decline to grant an extension to IBM
Workplace Support Services Page 4 of 5
Proposal for Assignment of 3(0 Party Contracts
The contract burn rate to date being greater than the proportional value of the contract
The contracts are variable in nature as opposed to fixed price
The contracts have ad hoc hourly based charges for services that are considered 'Business as
Usual'
. The vendors applying charges for transition services fo wind down their contracts.
This proposed approach is dependent on;
IBM and the Province successfully negotiating and completing the Assignment process
The Province taking the necessary steps to care for the non-WSS (mostly related new services)
scope with the appropriate contracts and purchasing instruments.
10. Assumptions
The following assumptions have been made as of November 1, 2004:
All vendors will agree to the approach and extend beyond the cwrrent term if required and will
provide full details of the scope and cost of the contracts
Costs will not exceed the current contract costs
All vendors and the associated Ministries will agree to a step down of their services in
accordance with our assumptions
IBM cOr)tract management costs are included in our charges to the Province
Costs related to requested changes to the step down schedule will be funded by the party
requesting the change.
All contracts are currently between CITS and the vendor
The Province is responsible for costs associated with assignment, procurement, or managing the
non-WSS components of the contracts that are the subject of this proposal
Flow down contract terms are not required for these transitional contracts
That the assignment administration and negotiation between the Province, IBM and the third
parties can be reasonably completed by January 1
s
t, 2005.
