SERVICES AGREEMENT

August 8, 2012

This Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is between Sears Holdings Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SHMC”), and Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SHO”). SHMC and SHO each are sometimes referred to as a “Party” and together sometimes are referred to as the “Parties.” Section 6.16 of this Agreement, which begins on page 13, includes a glossary of defined terms used in this Agreement.

Terms and Conditions

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which SHMC and SHO acknowledge, SHMC and SHO agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

SERVICES

1.01 Services to be Provided. During the Service Period SHMC will provide to SHO the services described on Appendix 1.01-A to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law (together, the “Services”). “Service Period” means the period commencing immediately following the “Rights Closing Effective Time” specified in the Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) to be executed and delivered by SHO and SHLD (the date on which the Rights Closing Effective Time occurs, the “Effective Date”) and continuing until 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the last day of the 66th full month following the Effective Date. The calendar day that becomes the Effective Date will be inserted on Appendix 1.01-B after the Effective Date has occurred. All services that were provided prior to the Effective Date to the businesses operated by SHO after the Effective Date and that after the Effective Date constitute Services will be governed by this Agreement even if such services are not described on Appendix 1.01-A. If a Party identifies such a Service, it will notify the other Party’s Contact Person (as provided for in Section 1.10 below), and the Parties will work together to address such services and respective pricing in an Amendment to this Agreement.

1.02 Quantity and Nature of Service. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.01 or this Section 1.02, there will be no material change in the scope or level of, or use by, SHO of Services during the Service Period (including changes requiring the hiring or training of additional employees by SHMC) without the mutual written agreement of the Parties and adjustments, if any, to the charges for such Services; provided, however, SHMC may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing Services, notwithstanding that specific third party contractors (at times referred to as “vendors”) may be listed on Appendix 1.01-A), if SHMC is making similar changes in performing or the performance of the same or substantially similar services for itself or its Affiliates. SHO will not resell any Services, provide the Services to any joint-venture or non-wholly owned subsidiary, or otherwise use the Services in any way other than in connection with the conduct of SHO’s internal business.

Execution Copy

 

1.03 Transition Plan. At least semi-annually, and in the event of a Stockholding Change, at least quarterly, throughout the Service Period, SHO will provide SHMC with current information and reasonable assistance concerning SHO’s plans for transitioning the performance of all Services to SHO or its designees prior to the completion of the Service Period. SHMC will provide SHO with such information as is reasonably necessary to assist SHO with such transition.

1.04 Standard of Care. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, SHMC does not assume any responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the Services in Good Faith, without willful misconduct or gross negligence. SHMC makes no other guarantee, representation, or warranty of any kind (whether express or implied) regarding any of the Services provided hereunder, and expressly disclaims all other guarantees, representations, and warranties of any nature whatsoever, whether statutory, oral, written, express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. SHMC will only be obligated to provide Services in a manner consistent with past practice (including prioritization among projects for SHMC, SHMC’s Affiliates, and SHO).

1.05 Responsibility For Errors; Delays. SHMC’s sole responsibility to SHO for errors or omissions in Services caused by SHMC will be to furnish correct information, payment or adjustment in the Services, and if such errors or omissions are solely or primarily caused by SHMC, SHMC will furnish such corrections at no additional cost or expense to SHO if SHO promptly advises SHMC of such error or omission.

1.06 Good Faith Cooperation; Alternatives. SHMC and SHO will use Good Faith efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Services, including acquisition of required third-party contractor consents (if any). If SHMC reasonably believes it is unable to provide any Service because of a failure to obtain third-party contractor consents or because of impracticability, SHMC will notify SHO promptly after SHMC becomes aware of such fact and the Parties will cooperate to determine the best alternative approach.

1.07 Use of Third Parties. SHMC may use any Affiliate or any unaffiliated third-party contractor to provide the Services to the extent the Affiliate or the unaffiliated third-party contractor provides comparable services to SHMC or, if not, if SHO gives its prior written consent (which consent SHO will not unreasonably withhold or delay).

1.08 Assets of SHO. During the Service Period, (i) SHMC and its Affiliates and third-party contractors may use, at no charge, all of the software and other assets, tangible and intangible, of SHO (together, the “Assets”) to the extent necessary to perform the Services, and (ii) SHO will consult with SHMC prior to upgrading or replacing any of the Assets that are necessary for SHMC to provide the Services.

1.09 Ownership of Data and Other Assets. Neither Party will acquire any right, title or interest in any Asset that is owned or licensed by the other and used to provide the Services. All data provided by or on behalf of a Party to the other Party for the purpose of providing the

Services will remain the property of the providing Party. To the extent the provision of any Service involves intellectual property, including software or patented or copyrighted material, or material constituting trade secrets, neither Party will copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or in any way alter any of such material, or otherwise use such material in a manner inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without the express written consent of the other Party. All specifications, tapes, software, programs, services, manuals, materials, and documentation developed or provided by SHMC and utilized in performing this Agreement, will be and remain the property of Service Provider and may not be sold, transferred, disseminated, or conveyed by SHO to any other entity or used other than in performance of this Agreement without the express written permission of SHMC.

1.10 Contact Person. Each Party will appoint a contact person (each, a “Contact Person”) to facilitate communications and performance under this Agreement. The initial Contact Person of each Party is set forth on Appendix 1.10. Each Party will have the right at any time and from time to time to replace its Contact Person by written notice to the other Party.

ARTICLE II.

CHARGES AND PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES

2.01 Compensation.

(a) Fees. As consideration for the provision of Services, SHO will pay SHMC for the first three years commencing on the Effective Date, (“First Three Years”) the annual, quarterly, monthly, and hourly fees for the Services specified on Appendix 1.01-A (the “Fees”), payable in equal installments in advance as provided on Appendix 1.01-A. Upon termination of an individual Service, SHO will pay a pro rata portion of the applicable Fee specified on Appendix 1.01-A, calculated based on the portion of the individual Service actually performed, or expense actually incurred, through the date SHMC performs the Service. Transition Fees, if any are specified on Appendix 1.01-A, will be paid with the last monthly installment payment of the Fees under the Agreement. If a Fee constitutes a “Charge” (as that term is defined in the Merchandising Agreement dated August 8, 2012 between (1) SHO, and others, and (2) Sears, Roebuck and Co. (“SRC”) and others (the “Merchandising Agreement”)), SHO will have no obligation to pay the Fee in accordance with this Agreement to the extent SHO is paying it as a Charge in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merchandising Agreement. If a Fee duplicates another Fee to any extent, including due to SHMC’s performance of a Service that duplicates to any extent SHMC’s performance of another Service, SHO will have no obligation to pay the portion of the Fee that is duplicative. If the Fees include charges for Services performed by a third party contractor and the third party contractor fees increase during the First Three Years, then SHMC may pass through the increased charges as an increase in the Fees. The Parties will negotiate in Good Faith the Fees for the fourth and fifth years of the Term and the six-month period following the fifth year, which revised fees will be reflected in one or more amendments to this Agreement.

(b) Expenses. In addition to the Fees, SHO will reimburse SHMC for (i) COBRA expenses advanced by SHMC with respect to SHO’s and its Affiliates’ employees who

 

3


Execution Copy

 

incur a qualifying event (as defined under COBRA) prior to the Effective Date, (ii) COBRA expenses advanced by SHMC with respect to SHO’s and its subsidiaries’ employees who incur a qualifying event (as defined under COBRA) on or after the Effective Date until such COBRA liability is transferred to a SHO-sponsored group health plan, and (iii) all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in its performance of the Services, that are not included in the Fees (“Expenses”). To the extent reasonably practicable, SHMC will provide SHO with notice of such Expenses prior to incurring them. (COBRA expenses and Expenses are together referred to as “Expenses”). If directed by SHMC, SHO will pay directly any or all third-party contractors providing Services to or for the benefit of SHO.

2.02 Payments. SHO will pay Fees in accordance with Section 2.01(a). SHO will pay all Expenses and Transaction Taxes within 10 days of SHMC’s valid invoice to SHO. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all amounts payable under this Agreement will be payable by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by SHMC from time to time. All amounts remaining unpaid for more than 15 days after their respective due date(s) will accrue interest at a rate of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate allowed by law, until paid.

2.03 Taxes. Fees do not include applicable taxes. SHO will be responsible for the payment of all taxes payable in connection with the Services including sales, use, excise, value-added, business, service, goods and services, consumption, withholding, and other similar taxes or duties, including taxes incurred on transactions between and among SHMC, its Affiliates, and third-party contractors, along with any related interest and penalties (“Transaction Taxes”). SHO will reimburse SHMC for any deficiency relating to Transaction Taxes that are SHO’s responsibility under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03 to the contrary, each Party will be responsible for its own income and franchise taxes, employment taxes, and property taxes. The Parties will cooperate in Good Faith to minimize Transaction Taxes to the extent legally permissible. Each Party will provide to the other Party any resale exemption, multiple points of use certificates, treaty certification and other exemption information reasonably requested by the other Party.

ARTICLE III.

TERMINATION

3.01 Termination of an Individual Service for Convenience by SHO. Subject to the next sentence, SHO, upon 60-day’s prior written notice to SHMC, may terminate for SHO’s convenience any individual Service at the end of a SHO fiscal month. SHO may not terminate an individual Service if the termination would adversely affect SHMC’s ability to perform another Service.

3.02 Termination of the Agreement.

(a) Subject to the next sentence, SHO or SHMC may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other Party if the breach is curable by the breaching Party and the breaching Party fails to cure the breach within 30 days following its receipt of written notice of the breach from the non-breaching Party. If the breach is not curable by the breaching Party, the non-breaching Party may immediately terminate this Agreement following the non-breaching Party’s delivery of notice to the breaching Party.

(b) SHO or SHMC may terminate this Agreement (whichever party is entitled to terminate, the “Terminating Party”) effective immediately upon 30-days’ advance written notice to the other party if (i) the Terminating Party or any of its Affiliates terminates the Separation Agreement as a result of a material breach of, or a material default by, the other party or its Affiliates of their obligations in the Separation Agreement, (ii) the Terminating Party or any of its Affiliates terminates a License Agreement in accordance with its terms as a result of a material breach of, or a material default by, the other party or its Affiliates of their obligations in the License Agreement, (iii) the Terminating Party or any of its Affiliates terminates the Merchandising Agreement in accordance with its terms as a result of a material breach of, or a material default by, the other party or its Affiliates of their obligations in the Merchandising Agreement. or (iv) the Terminating Party or any of its Affiliates terminates the Shop Your Way Rewards Retail Establishment Agreement dated August 8, 2012 between SHO and SHMC (the “SYW Agreement”) in accordance with its terms as a result of a material breach of, or a material default by, the other party or its Affiliates of their obligations in the SYW Agreement. “License Agreement” means each of the following, each dated August 8, 2012: the Store License Agreement between Sears Authorized Hometown Stores, LLC and SRC; the Store License Agreement between Sears Home Appliance Showrooms, LLC and SRC; the Store License Agreement between Sears Outlet Stores, L.L.C. and SRC; and the Trademark License Agreement between SHO and SRC.

(c) SHMC may terminate this Agreement if a Stockholding Change occurs.

3.03 Obligations on Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement (a) each Party will promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information received from the other Party in connection with this Agreement without retaining a copy thereof, other than one copy for record keeping purposes, (b) SHO will return to SHMC, as soon as reasonably practicable, all equipment or other property of SHMC, whether owned, leased, or licensed, and (c) SHO will pay all outstanding Fees for Services rendered and Expenses incurred through the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and for all Transition Fees.

3.04 Termination of an Individual Service by SHMC.

(a) If an Affiliate of SHMC that provides a Service is unwilling or unable to provide the Service, (i) the Affiliate of SHMC does not provide a similar service to SHMC or its other Affiliates on terms that are comparable to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) SHMC is unable to retain a replacement service provider to provide the Service on terms that are comparable to the terms of this Agreement, SHMC, upon providing 90-days’ prior written notice to SHO, may terminate the Service, but the termination of the Service will have no effect upon the provision of the other Services to SHO. If an unaffiliated third-party contractor of SHMC or an Affiliate that provides a Service is unwilling or unable to allow SHO to use the Service under the existing (or comparable) terms, and SHMC is unable to retain a replacement service provider to provide the Service on terms that are comparable to the terms of this Agreement, SHMC, upon providing 90-days’ prior written notice

Execution Copy

 

to SHO, may terminate the Service, but the termination will have no effect upon the provision of the other Services to SHO. If SHMC is unable to give SHO 90-days’ prior written notice to SHO due to such third-party contractor’s refusal to allow SHO to use the Service for 90 days, then SHMC will provide as much notice as possible.

(b) If the Parties fail to agree upon and execute an amendment regarding a Fee for one or more individual Services for the fourth or fifth year of the Term or the six-month period following the fifth year, SHMC may terminate the individual Service or Services upon 60-days’ prior written notice to SHO.

ARTICLE IV.

CONFIDENTIALITY

4.01 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidential Information” means all non-public information received by a Party, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives (together, the “Receiving Party”) relating to the other Party, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives (together, the “Disclosing Party”), in connection with this Agreement, including information concerning pricing, service history, customer information and lists (except to the extent that these may be shared under privacy laws and regulations), employee information, sourcing and third party contractor information, costs, product specifications and methods of operations, business plans, strategies, financial information, information technology information, and other proprietary information, regardless of the manner or medium in which it is furnished to or otherwise obtained by the Receiving Party; provided, that the term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is or was available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party, provided that such information did not become available to the Receiving Party, from a Person who, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge and at the time of receipt by the Receiving Party of the relevant information, is bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the Disclosing Party or another Person or (iii) was or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party, provided that such source is or was (at the time of receipt of the relevant information) not, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the Disclosing Party or another Person.

Execution Copy

 

(b) The receiving Party will not disclose, and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to disclose, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any Person; provided, however, that each Party will be responsible in any event for the acts or omissions of its Affiliates and Representatives to whom it discloses the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; and provided, further, that Confidential Information may be disclosed only:

(i) to the receiving Party’s Affiliates and Representatives in the normal course of performance of Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) by the Receiving Party to the extent required by Applicable Law, rule or regulation (including complying with any oral or written questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process to which such Party is subject), with prior notice, if legally permitted, to the Disclosing Party;

(iii) by the Receiving Party, if such Person determines in Good Faith that such disclosure is required in order to comply with such Person’s obligations under the federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, the rules of the NASD or the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other similar body), with prior notice, if legally permitted, to the Disclosing Party; or

(iv) with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.

(c) Nothing contained herein will prevent the use (subject, to the extent possible, to a protective order) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any claim by or against the other Party.

(d) Each Party acknowledges that if it breaches this Agreement, the other Party may be irreparably and immediately harmed and may not be made whole by monetary damages. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law or equity, is entitled to pursue any injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to compel specific performance of this Agreement, without the need for proof of actual damages.

4.02 Third-Party Contractor Confidentiality Terms. If SHMC’s agreement with an unaffiliated third-party contractor performing Services (“TP Agreement”) includes confidentiality terms that are less restrictive than this Article IV (i.e., the TP Agreement permits broader sharing or disclosure of confidential information than permitted in this Article IV), then, notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, the less-restrictive confidentiality terms of the TP Agreement will (i) control over this Article IV and (ii) govern SHMC’s rights and obligations in this Article IV regarding the sharing of SHO Confidential Information with the unaffiliated third-party contractor, but in each circumstance only to the extent necessary to permit the unaffiliated third-party contractor to perform the Services.

ARTICLE V.

INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

5.01 Indemnification by SHO. SHO will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SHMC and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses, penalties, expenses and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind and nature arising from third-party claims, demands, litigation, and suits related to or arising out of this Agreement (together “SHO Claims”), except to the extent that such SHO Claims are found by a final judgment or opinion of an arbitrator or a court of appropriate jurisdiction to be caused by: (i) a breach of any provision of this Agreement by SHMC; or (ii) any negligent act or omission, or willful misconduct of SHMC, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives in performance of this Agreement.

5.02 Indemnification by SHMC. SHMC will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SHO and its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives, from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses, penalties, expenses and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind and nature arising from third-party claims, demands, litigation, and suits, that: (i) relate to bodily injury or death of any person or damage to real and/or tangible personal property directly caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of SHMC or its Affiliates during the performance of the Services, or (ii) relate to the infringement of any copyright or trade secret by an Asset owned by SHMC or its Affiliates and used by SHMC in the performance of the Services (together, “SHMC Claims”). Notwithstanding the obligations set forth above in this Section 5.02, SHMC will not defend or indemnify SHO, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives to the extent that such SHMC Claims are found by a final judgment or opinion of an arbitrator or a court of appropriate jurisdiction to be caused by: (a) a breach of any provision of this Agreement by SHO; (b) any negligent act or omission, or willful misconduct of SHO, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives in performance of this Agreement; or (c) with respect to infringement claims: (I) SHO’s use of the Asset in combination with any product or information not provided by SHMC; (II) SHO’s distribution, marketing or use for the benefit of third parties of the Asset; (III) SHO’s use of the Asset other than as contemplated by this Agreement; or (IV) information, direction, specification or materials provided by or on behalf of SHO. SHO Claims and SHMC Claims are each individually referred to as a “Claim.

5.03 Procedure. In the event of a Claim, the indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party prompt notice in writing of the Claim; but the failure to provide such notice will not release the indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article except to the extent the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt of such notice the indemnifying Party will assume and will be entitled to control the defense of the Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice, and will give notice of its intention to do so to the indemnified Party within 20 business days of the receipt of such notice from the indemnified Party. The indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified Party of a written release from all liability in respect of the Claim or (ii) settle or compromise any Claim in any manner that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than

as a result of money damages or other monetary payments that are indemnified hereunder. The indemnified Party will have the right at its own cost and expense to employ separate counsel and participate in the defense of any Claim.

5.04 Limitation of Liability. Except for (i) each Party’s indemnity and defense obligations as set forth in Sections 5.01, 5.02, and 5.03 and other liabilities to unaffiliated third parties, (ii) a party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations, and (iii) breach of Section 1.09, in no event will either Party be liable for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, or punitive damages, losses or expenses (including business interruption, lost business, lost profits, or lost savings) even if it has been advised of their possible existence. The sole liability of SHMC and its Affiliates for any and all claims in any manner related to this Agreement will be the payment of direct damages, not to exceed (for all claims in the aggregate) the Fees received by SHMC under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, SHMC will not be liable for damages caused by SHMC’s third-party contractors; however, to the extent permitted in a TP Agreement, SHMC will pass through to SHO applicable rights and remedies under the respective TP Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

6.01 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein in connection with the provision of the Services, each Party will bear its own expenses with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.02 Waiver of Compliance. Any failure of a Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the other Party, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

6.03 Amendment. Subject to the next sentence, this Agreement may not be amended except by a written amendment signed by each Party.

6.04 Assignment. SHO may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of SHMC, to be withheld in SHMC’s absolute discretion. A Stockholding Change will constitute an assignment of this Agreement by SHO for which assignment SHMC’s prior written consent will be required. SHMC may freely assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of SHO; provided that any such assignment will not relieve SHMC of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will be binding on, and will inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the Parties.

6.05 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered by hand, (ii) three business days after it is mailed, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, (iii) on the same

Space Management  

1.       Planogram Support

 

SHMC will provide Planogram support to the Hardware store format at the same level as performed before Separation (not more than 525 planogram changes per year and support of not more than 500 active planograms). Prior to Separation, this planogram work has been driven by assortment changes in the Sears FLS format, which then affect the Hardware store format. These planogram changes are first developed for Sears FLS, then will be passed over to SHO Hardware stores for review/modification, and approval before assignment to stores.

 

A new requirement for Hardware stores is to support planogram changes specific to Hardware stores only in the same capacity. This planogram work is independent of Sears FLS.

 

In either of the above cases, the SHO planogram team will modify planograms as necessary and provide to the SHMC team for quality review and import to the SHMC Space Management systems.

 

SHMC will assign a incremental dedicated Space Planning person to support the Hardware format. This resource will manage the incremental demand of the SHO driven planogram changes, guarantee responsiveness to demand, and ensure quality deliverables/service levels according to this SOW.

1.      Logistics Billing Methodology

 

•      Variable handling billing

 

•       Rates for the RRCs are by flow path and by product size (Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large). Each Div-Line is placed into a size group at the beginning of the year based on last year’s average inbound carton cube for that Div-Line.

 

•       Rates for the DDCs are by flow path and division.

 

•       SHO will be billed based on disbursement volume out of the distribution centers.

 

•      Fixed handling billing

 

•       Fixed Handling represents the portion of logistics cost that does not vary with volume and that is not related to storing merchandise.

 

•       SHO will be charged the 2012 plan level for fixed handling (plan is based on the SHO 2011 actual charge for fixed handling by network).

 

• Storage billing

 

•       Cost is based on usage of DC inventory space.

 

•       SHO will be billed based on cubic feet of RRC inventory space and square feet of DDC inventory space.

 

•       Cubic/Square foot space usage is allocated to SHO based on the % of total division level volume attributed to the business.

 

There are, as of the Effective Date, no charges for RDC services to SHO. SHO will be charged variable handling rates for RDC services for merchandise shipped directly from an RDC to a SHO store, if that service is requested.

 

2012 Storage and Handling Rates by Flow Path are listed in Exhibit 2- 2012 Logistics Rates.

 

2.      CRC Handling and Transportation

 

•       CRC handling services are billed on a per scan basis.

 

•       Transportation rates are based on the average size of the item. SHO is assigned a rate based on the average cube per selling unit.

•       Salvage revenue is derived from recovery of salvageable merchandise. Rate is set in accordance with our agreement with third party(s).

 

•       Freight and handling planned revenue is based on 2011 average actual rate.

 

3.      Billing of Overhead Expenses

 

•       SHO will be billed for other Logistics Overhead expenses based on the percentage of total DC handling expenses (fixed and variable) attributed to SHO. Other Overhead Expenses are defined as Supply Chain Management overhead minus Inventory Management, Space Management and Global Sourcing.

 

4.      DC Markdowns

 

•       DC Markdowns include inbound damage, price change markdowns, price protection subsidy, and damage caused during storage and handling at the DC.

 

•       Allocation of charges to SHO for DC markdowns is based on the percentage of division level store markdowns attributed to SHO.

 

5.      Online Fulfillment Services – No Charge

 

6.      Special Projects

 

•       Special requests for non-standard services, such as re-ticketing or re-cartonization, will be charged to SHO on a per project basis.

 

•       Amount of the charge will be equal to the number of hours worked on the project multiplied by $50 (the hourly special project rate).

 

•       The project must be pre-approved by submitting the Special Project request form. SHO should contact its MSCO if it requires a Special Project.

 

7.      Third Party Warehouse Management

 

Third Party rates and billing will be agreed upon by SHO, SHMC and the Third Party where Third Party services are determined by SHO and SHMC to be the best option.

 

8. Supply Chain Charges will be billed monthly and trued-up to the actual expense at the end of each quarter. This will involve a comprehensive review of all supply chain charges.

PAYMENT CLEARING AND RELATED FINANCIAL SERVICES    

SEARS FINANCIAL SERVICES (SFS)

 

   
Third Party Payment Acceptance  

2.1 SFS manages the payment acceptance process of authorization and settlement for the acceptance of third party credit and debit cards through contracts with Discover, American Express, and First Data (for the acceptance of Visa and Mastercard-branded cards). In addition, SFS will manage SHO’s Telecheck relationship for the acceptance and settlement of checks. Sears Financial Services manages third-party partner SLA performance, PCI and regulatory compliance, technical enhancements and tender optimization

 

Each tender type accepted for payment at SHO has an interchange rate associated with it, which rates SHO will pay on a pass-through basis.

  Each month, Sears Financial Services will charge out the direct liability for third party payment costs associated with SHO’s merchandise sales for that month. The total payment cost and total payment cost as % of sales will vary from month to month based on merchant promotional activity (e.g. tied-to-Sears-credit offer). Sears Financial Services will provide monthly reporting for SHO so they can better understand the drivers of the payment costs they incurred in each month.

Consumer Credit Cards  

2.2 SFS manages lending relationships (currently with Citibank and Capital One) for the provision of Sears-branded credit to SHO through either a private label or a general purpose credit card. Provision of credit to SHO (1) reduces payment costs, (2) builds the business partner data warehouse of marketable households and transactional activity, (3) gives business partners access to financing to purchase goods from SHO, (4) offers merchants a vehicle for targeting promotional offers (including 0% financing), and (5) generates an incremental revenue stream from lending relationships.

 

The acquisition of and ongoing business partner use of Sears-branded consumer credit cards creates a number of benefits for SHO. Lending partnerships include a variety of revenue, expense and subsidy streams that can be tapped to help SHO grow sales, manage down its third party payments costs, and offset the expense of select promotional offers (when tied to credit).

 

The successful optimization of Sears consumer credit programs requires the alignment of incentives across Financial Services and SHO. To this end, SHMC will distribute the credit revenues associated with the Sears credit programs according to the following table:

 

 

     Financial
Services
    SHO  

Net New Account Revenue

     25     75

Non-0% Credit Revenue

     25     75

Associate Incentive

       100

Tied-to-Credit Subsidy

       100

 

 

 

Net New Account Revenue represents the fees paid by Citi and Capital One for a new approved, activated credit card account. For Citi and Capital One underwritten accounts, the fee paid to SHO is the per account amount paid by Citi and Capital One to SFS.

 

Non-0% Credit Revenue is earned only on Sears Cards issued by Citi. It is subject to a sliding rate schedule (outlined in the Citi-Sears Program Agreement) which is based on the Dollar Volume of SHO Merchandise sales and the Dollar Volume of 0% Sears Card sales.

SHMC pays for the $2 Associate Incentive earned by SHO associates for every credit card application generated. From time to time, SHMC will fund additional incentive contests where it will pay up to $4 for every credit card application generated

 

In addition, SHMC will work with SHO to design, develop, and execute merchant offers tied to credit that generate Non-0% credit revenue for SHO. These offers may be eligible for incremental Tied-to-Credit Subsidy from Citi which will be negotiated on a one-off basis based on the business case developed between SHMC, Citi and SHO.

 

0% Promotional Financing is another promotional tool that can be leveraged by SHO to incent merchandise sales. SHO will be assessed a Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) equal to the MDR that SHMC is assessed by Citi based on the duration of the promotion.

Payment Settlement

 

SHMC will provide payment settlement services for merchandise sales proceeds from Sears Card transactions (processed by Citibank) until such time as SHO establishes with Citibank a separate service agreement and fund flow. SHMC will pay SHO the Sears Card Merchandise Sales proceeds on the day following Citibank’s settlement with SHC of Sears Card Merchandise Sales.

 

Upon establishment of a separate fund flow for SHO, payments by customers for Discover or Sears credit cards will be remitted by SHO to SHC the day following receipt into SHO’s bank account. SHMC will also provide SHO payment settlement services for American Express, Visa, and MasterCard (First Data) transactions until such time as SHO has entered into agreements with these service providers.

 

  These activities will be performed at no charge to SHO.
Gift Cards  

2.3 SHMC manages the product development, operational support, vendor management, marketing budget, and state-by-state compliance for Sears/SHO branded gift cards. Gift cards offer SHO a convenient gifting option to offer its customers when they cannot find or do not know what color/size/brand/style merchandise their recipient would like most. It gives Sears/SHO an opportunity to market Sears, Sears/SHO outside of stores through Gift Card Malls and Rewards programs nationwide. Plus Sears/ SHO gift cards carry no fees and never expire.

 

The interchange rate on Sears/SHO gift cards will be 200bps of gift card value redeemed. This Gift Card Fee covers the cost of running the gift card program, i.e., ValueLink processing costs, plastics, B2B discounts (associated with third party sales of Sears/SHO gift cards outside Sears and SHO stores), etc.

 

Requesting custom gift cards for specific promotions will incur direct fees associated with custom card production. These will vary by promotional requirements and volumes and will be executed according to terms that will be mutually agreed to by the parties separately.

 

 
Gift Card Acceptance  

2.4 SHC and SHO will accept each other’s gift cards as a tender type and will be reimbursed for the “same as cash” value of the gift card redemption regardless of where the gift card originated.

 

Sears Financial Services and SHO will agree to partner on the development and implementation of periodic “Spend and Get” promotions which will be offered to consumers in Sears/SHO as a means of driving incremental traffic and revenue.

Installment Loans   2.5 SHMC manages the lending relationship with GE who provides the capability for our business partners to buy our product and services over a fixed term with equal monthly payments. Installment loans provides our associates with a tool that allows them to promote the low monthly payment option as a vehicle to increase sales ticket, improve attachment and grow accessory sales. Provision of installment loans gives SHO and its merchants a unique advantage over its major hardline competitors as they do not currently offer this product   .

The Delivery rates for SHO (HTS, Outlet) are included in the Outlet Market Delivery Rate Table and Hometown Market Delivery Rate Table. Both Market Delivery Rate Tables are included in Exhibit 4 to this Appendix 1.01-A Schedule of Services and Fees.

 

Rates as shown in the Market Delivery Rate Tables are for the first year of this Agreement, and then reviewed and agreed upon annually by SHMC and SHO during the length of the agreement.

SHO and Home Services Delivery will review and agree on the customer location zip codes that identify Hybrid Delivery Markets.

 

SHO will assign the Delivery Rate for each zip code and transmit the completed zip code file with the rates to Home Services Delivery for entry into the POS (Point of Sale) system.

 

When a Sears full-line store sells merchandise for delivery into a Hybrid Delivery Market zip code that is assigned to a SHO store, the delivery service revenue is transferred from the Sears full-line store to the SHO store performing that delivery.

  2. Provide the framework to conduct business together.

 

  3. Create a simple methodology for understanding demand and consumption of technology services delivery.

 

  4. Clarify key roles and responsibilities that contribute to the Parties’ joint governance and resulting success.

 

  5. Employ a structure to minimize post-agreement tracking and administrative support.

 

  6. Enable service data collection to feed financial reporting for SHO in a mechanized manner.

 

  7. Describe I&TG Services and outline SHMC’s engagement model to proactively bring SHO new products and services to help improve performance.

As a supplier of Technology Services, SHMC is responsible for understanding how technology can promote more competitive business models, for delivering planned and budgeted business solutions and serving as service management consultants to SHO by entering into agreements and managing relationships with outside service providers as needed. SHO is responsible for defining its business processes, needs and requirements in support of stated business objectives; quantifying the value impact of its Service Requests, and providing business insight and review/approvals required during scoping, planning, design and delivery of its business solutions.

The Parties must work in close collaboration so that I&TG can deliver business solutions to meet SHO needs. SHMC will review the currency of infrastructure and applications supporting technology on an ongoing basis and recommend, in SHMC’s discretion, that SHO consider adoption of new, more efficient automation methods.

To help confirm alignment on service delivery goals, SHMC will implement a SHO Technology Leader role to better lead efforts in collaboration with the SHO team to effectively:

 

   

Identify business process pain points

 

   

Conduct needs assessments and requirements definition

 

   

Scope and plan Request for Services (RFS)

 

   

Monitor Service Delivery

Gain key input from all SHO and SHMC stakeholders to help confirm alignment on priorities and delivery of business solutions

The SHO Technology Leader role (described below) is paramount to coordinating the Parties’ joint delivery of value. The Request-for-Services (RFS) process, managed through the I&TG Project Management Organization (“PMO”), takes the I&TG Services and manifests it in specific timelines, skill-sets, pricing, and milestones linked to each Service Request and gives the Parties joint transparency on costs, effort, risk, and solution delivery.

SHO TECHNOLOGY ENGAGEMENT

In order to align more closely, SHMC created a key role within the SHO Technology Engagement function; that of the SHO Technology Lead. The mission of the SHO Technology Lead is the official, though not single, point of interface between SHO and SHMC to facilitate delivery of business solutions and value creation on a timely basis.

To do this, the SHO Technology Lead will:

 

  1. Assist SHO in properly documenting business processes & requirements.

 

  2. Help business teams create needs assessments and business cases in support of business solutions.

 

  3. Facilitate all phases of the systems delivery lifecycle to help ensure that the SHMC I&TG and SHO teams are aligned, aware and working effectively to meet business requirements. (Note that the assigned SHO Technology Leader is not responsible for directly managing technology projects, but will maintain active oversight on every Service Request and project related to SHO and intervene where necessary to keep projects on track).

 

  4. Be responsible for securing SHO sign-off (or documented rejection) for each step in which it is required during the Service Delivery process.

 

  5. Provide an escalation point for the SHO business teams with respect to technology issues and for the technology teams with respect to business engagement in Base Operations and Service Delivery activities.

 

  6. Monitor the resolution of technology related issues (as tracked by SHMC I&TG PMO), following up with issue owners where necessary to ensure timely resolution.

 

  7. Communicate updates relating to technology direction and status to the SHO teams.

 

  8. Be the steward of technology capability for SHO, maintaining an awareness of external developments relevant to their business domain (e.g. new technologies being used by competitors, etc.) and helping confirm SHO has access to appropriate and value-adding solutions in the short and long term.

The SHO Technology Leader will be held to account for:

 

  1. Aged issue status for technology related issues raised by SHO and submitted through the PMO process or through error-ticket systems.

 

  2. Adherence by the business team to systems delivery process (e.g. completion of business process models, appropriate scope and timely sign-off of requirements, completion of UAT, business investment in user training and change management, etc.).

 

  3. Facilitating effective communication and eliminating disconnects between teams involved in delivering solutions to their business, including technology teams, transformation & development, training & change management, and the SHO team itself.

 

  4. Client satisfaction in solutions and engagement model (where measured).

SERVICE DELIVERY & MAINTENANCE

The key responsibilities for the Service Delivery & Maintenance functions within I&TG are:

 

  1. Managing the underlying technical and application infrastructure.

 

  2. Being responsible for the quality and availability of technology services; provided that SHO performs its responsibilities and that SHO senior management remains responsible for SHO-specific management decisions.

 

  3. Continuity management as it relates to the support and operations of the business-critical processes and systems.

 

  4. Risk and Security management.

 

  5. Identity and Access management.

TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

ENGAGEMENT MODEL & REQUEST-FOR-SERVICES (RFS)

 

LOGO   HMC’s I&TG’s Engagement Models helps maximize the value created from technology investments through processes that ensure alignment and results. The engagement models align priorities, funding and resources, and elevate decision making, decision rights and accountability to the appropriate levels at SHO through both the SHO Technology Leader role and the RFS process.

All Service Requests - projects, change requests and new requirements will be managed through a defined process. This process is used to help confirm the following:

 

   

Requests are rejected if not supported by necessary endorsement, business process model, clear business case and requirements documentation, or if considered not implementable

 

   

All Service Requests are recorded and assigned a WorkLenz (WL) number to confirm I&TG specialists participate in the estimating process, with tracking of the approved allocation and subsequent progress of the request. This includes rejected requests and requests that are subsequently dropped or rolled into another request or project.

 

   

For all activated business service requests, SHMC time spent will equal time billed to SHO regardless of whether the request is delivered in full, cancelled or postponed. Commitment of skilled resources comes with a cost that must be recovered during the request fulfillment process.

 

   

A contingency allowance will be built into the pricing for projects considered to be high risk endeavors, as evaluated according to a set of risk assessment criteria, such as technology employed, business calendar/season, SHO exposure, project budget or duration, regulatory impact or effect on critical business systems (infrastructure, applications, tools).

 

   

Maintaining a single funnel for acquisition of all requests is essential to the success of this approach

 

   

Governance/PMO will administer this process.

SHO’S APPROVAL PROCESS

The chart below represents SHMC’s I&TG collective governance model; through a series of authorization “gates” throughout the project initiation lifecycle, this model helps confirm that opportunities that are most highly aligned with business strategy are pursued, and that timing of initiation is commensurate with the urgency of SHO needs.

 

LOGO

This chart also illustrates the numerous points at which SHO must work with SHMC to ensure alignment between the Parties. The steps above which are circled in red indicate the minimum interface points and are detailed below.

 

  1. Approving Business VP Approval: At this point, SHO Vice President is required to approve the project for estimation. Up until this point in the project’s lifecycle, there has been little or no SHMC involvement in the project. Once this approval is received, SHMC will begin the estimation effort and can begin charging SHO for the time involved in pulling together the high-level cost estimate.

 

  2. Executive Sponsor Approval: The high-level cost estimates have been created and included in the project’s information. SHO Executive Sponsor (a direct report to the CEO) is now required to approve these estimates in order for the project to continue through the remaining lifecycle steps.

 

  3. Obtain SHO Funding Approval: Once the Executive sponsor has approved the project request, the SHO CFO/Finance Manager is required to approve. This ensures that SHO has the necessary funds to cover the cost of the planned or unplanned project and is committed to having the work performed.

 

  4. Update I&TG Estimates: This is the final cost estimate which gets submitted by SHMC. It is possible, through the process of collecting and documenting the detailed requirements and finalizing the design solution, that SHMC may need to update the costs associated with delivering the project. If the final cost estimate exceeds the original estimate by more than 50%, an additional approval by SHO Executive Sponsor will be required.

  5. Request Functional Readiness Approval: The SHO project sponsor must approve / sign-off on the project’s readiness to be moved into production. This is the final approval step needed on SHO side.

PROJECT CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS

Throughout the lifecycle of a service request within SHMC, various factors may affect the overall cost to deliver. These factors may include (but are not limited to) a change in project scope, a better understanding of specialized skill sets needed, a shift in priorities from SHO or a change in the cost of materials (hardware or software) required to complete the project. Any time a change occurs, the SHMC I&TG project manager will initiate a Change Control Request. This is a formal process within I&TG and helps confirm the necessary governance is followed and approvals are obtained before any additional costs are incurred.

A note of change to the approval process for 2012 represents an easing of review and approval requirements if the request is under a pre-set percentage of the initially approved funding. The percentage will be set by the governing SHO project team and allows for work to move ahead once the preliminary project estimate (E1) has been approved if the additional cost to the project is under the stated amount. After proceeding through the Evaluate activities, if the executive approval gate (E2) indicates the change exceeds the allowed percentage, the full scope of requirements, revised project plan and business case must be reviewed again and approved prior to moving forward.

The diagram below depicts the steps which are followed as part of the Change Control process.

 

LOGO

This chart also illustrates the additional approval steps necessary from SHO:

 

  6. Executive Sponsor Approval: The revised cost estimates have been created and included in the project’s information. SHO Project Sponsor must approve these amended estimates in order for the project to continue through the remaining Change Control steps.

  7. Obtain SHO Funding Approval: Once the Executive sponsor has approved the Change Control request, SHO CFO/Finance Manager is required to approve. This ensures that SHO has the necessary funds to cover the additional costs related to the Change Control request.

OPERATIONAL SERVICES

LOGO &TG Service Lines have been designed to meet SHO Base operating/support needs and Request-for-Service demand. A fundamental underpinning of I&TG’s Service Lines is the use of its Business Process Management (BPM) Center of Excellence (COE). I&TG uses BPM as its overarching framework to help SHO achieve competitive advantage and business growth through process performance, capability and adaptability. Each Service Request SHMC undertakes will have a business process model and clear requirements to help confirm the value is understood. SHMC will assist SHO in understanding the value of business process management and provide enablement services through its BPM COE so that SHO can create and own its process definitions to expedite needs assessment and business solution delivery.

OPERATIONAL SERVICE REQUESTS COMPONENTS

The operational Services I&TG will provide are:

 

  1. Technology & Business Innovation

 

  A. Innovation Lab & Prototyping

 

  B. Commercial Grade Solutioning

 

  2. Business Process Consulting & Technology Advisory Services

 

  A. Value Engineering / Business Process Optimization

 

  B. Business / Technology Needs Assessment

 

  C. Scoping, Planning, Estimating and Road-Mapping

 

  D. To-Be Process Modeling & Enablement

 

  E. Change Leadership

 

  3. Business Solution Development / Ad Hoc Service Requests

 

  A. Project, Program and Budget Management

 

  B. Milestone, Issue and Risk Management

 

  C. Deliverables / Quality Assurance

 

  D. Project Coordination

 

  E. Communications & Training

 

  F. Core Development & Solution Delivery

There exist a variety of business models to accommodate the different request types received from SHO and offered for delivery by I&TG. One design and delivery model may not be appropriate for all; thus SHMC employs a flexible assignment process to help determine the anticipated optimum way to satisfy a new request, particularly in the project space. SHMC I&TG knowledge and experience spans the potential use of:

 

   

Traditional service lifecycle with analysis, planning, design, build, test and deploy.

An agile style of iterative development building to a phased set of requirements, working toward an end product that helps meet a business objective and enable a new operational capability.

 

   

Pilot approach where a full set of requirements becomes an initial version of the end product, goes into a trial operational period and then benefits from continuous improvement process based on trial learnings.

 

   

“Walk before we run” model – a series of modules designed, built and deployed individually under a single architecture such that add-on modules enhance the original capability using consistent and complementary functional elements and technologies.

Each project approach has a different cost model that may influence the joint SHO / SHMC decision on how to proceed. This review and decision process should occur during the Ideate stage and can be reviewed or reconsidered early in the Evaluate stage with minimal impact on the final project cost.

ISSUES MANAGEMENT / RESOLUTION

LOGO HMC employs severity scales for Issue Management to help confirm that proper ownership, collaboration, and resolution of Issues occurs as swiftly as possible. SHO agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to timely provide SHMC with complete and accurate information and material requested by SHMC and required for use in replicating and diagnosing an Issue. SHO also agrees to make reasonably available appropriate employees when options for resolution are being vetted and course-of-action decisions are required.

I&TG COSTS AND RATES FOR SERVICES

BASE COMPONENT & SERVICE REQUEST CHARGES

 

LOGO   ervice costs for Base Components (enterprise support, integrated retailing, merchant & sourcing intelligence, technology infrastructure, etc.) have been bottom-up identified and are charged based an appropriate allocation method or usage/consumption level.

Service costs of Base Components for SHO will not exceed $9.6M for 2012, assuming SHO usage and requirements are consistent with that experienced in 2011. Each subsequent year of the agreement will provide the next fiscal year’s plan to SHO ninety (90) days in advance of the close of the fiscal year. Annual increases to the Base Component and Systems Access/Maintenance service costs will be capped at five-percent (5%) with the exception of increases to 3rd Party services which will be passed through to SHO. Any additional increases will be subject to negotiation and agreement by both parties in advance of any applicable increase.

Labor Rates have been determined for FY’12, however actual spend is based on the time and materials cost associated with Service Requests determined on a project-by-project basis, as well as by the skill sets required to deliver the Services.

The rate/hour for Service Requests is as follows:

I&TG Standard Rates for SHC and SHI Associates FY2012

 

SHC Associates    Skill Set    Rate
   Associate    $65 / hour
SHI Associate    Skill Set    Rate
   Off-shore Engineer    $35 / hour
   On site Engineer    $65 / hour
3rd Party Contractor    Skill Set    Rate
   Will vary   

$/hour will be reviewed with and approved by SHO

SUPPORT SERVICES AND ENGAGEMENT TEAM

An SHMC I&TG Engagement Team will be formed to support SHO to provide support and maintenance services and multiple enhancements. External variable labor for project development will be charged as needed and agreed upon with SHO. The SHMC team will be comprised of a Director, Project Manager, Business Analysts and Solution Architects with an annual cost of $811,200 for 2012.

EXPECTATIONS

COLLABORATION

LOGO HMC and SHO will work together, utilizing collaborative planning focused on meeting business objectives, efficient and cost effective shared service centers, common service management processes and an organization designed and skilled to help optimize a commercially viable service model.

SHMC will assist SHO in identifying the business processes critical to SHO customers and the computer systems or services which support those processes. Once that list of critical systems and processes has been identified, a mutually agreed-upon level of service will be provided with the commensurate costs detailed.

BUSINESS SPONSOR / CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

In order for SHMC to effectively provide the Services, SHO will:

 

  1. Ensure sound business processes exist prior to engaging SHMC for solution architecture

This can be accomplished by leveraging SHMC Business Process Management Center of Excellence as described above. Ensuring a sound business process before introducing new technology helps to ensure the solution being delivered will properly address SHO’s problem or need.

 

  2. Provide proper allocation and timely availability of SHO Personnel as part of the engagement team

SHMC is only part of the solution process. SHO must allocate sufficient resources to the engagement. If SHO does not allocate and make available appropriate resources, the solution being delivered will most likely not fulfill the need appropriately.

 

  3. Ensure responsiveness and participation of SHO senior executives & sponsors

There are key, significant times within the lifecycle of the engagement where Senior SHO Executive and Sponsors must participate and collaborate with the SHMC I&TG engagement teams. From the initial approval to submit requests to SHMC, to funding approvals, to periodic status updates, through to the engagement close-out – all of these gates and project events require engagement by Senior SHO members. It is the responsibility of the both Parties, through the joint project management team, to pre plan the meeting calendar and build sufficient executive time into the project plan for all such executive requirements. It will be SHO’s responsibility to confirm that all necessary internal SHO approvals are obtained.

 

  4. Define accurate & reasonable expectations of project benefits (quantifiable wherever possible)

While SHMC is responsible for identifying the costs associated with performing the requested services for SHO, it is entirely the responsibility of SHO to identify potential benefits for the engagement. These benefits have typically been represented as monetary (EBITDA & BOP) but are not limited to that category. Additional, quantifiable metrics could include:

 

   

Faster time to productivity

 

   

Improved ease of use leading to faster transaction processing time

 

   

Increased users or usage

Increased system uptime/availability

 

   

Increased response time

 

   

Increased units of client or customer data captured

 

   

Increased data accuracy (fewer defects)

Only by identifying these quantifiable metrics can accurate benefit realization be measured.

 

  5. Complete Customer Satisfaction Surveys (CSATs) upon the conclusion of the engagement

The key mechanism by which SHMC can measure the success of the engagement with SHO is through the Customer Satisfaction Survey which is sent at the conclusion of each engagement. The survey itself takes only a few minutes to complete, but allows SHMC to understand what went well or what areas may need improvement as part of SHMC’s engagement model.

 

  6. For projects that affect SHO only, SHO will be responsible for key strategic and material management decisions. For projects that affect both SHO and other SHMC clients, SHO and SHMC will have joint strategic and material management decisions regarding the respective project; provided that SHO will remain responsible for decision making as it affects SHO.

INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY GROUP RESPONSIBILITIES

As part of the collaboration between SHMC and SHO, there will be periodic governance meetings between which will be used to discuss the following:

 

  1. Accomplishments to date – These will include:

 

  a. Planned projects delivered to-date

 

  b. Unplanned projects delivered to-date

 

  c. Base & Support services provided

 

  d. Improvements or cost reductions made towards Base & Support services

 

  2. Metrics

 

  a. Service metrics are in place (internal, customer)

 

  b. Project, Base and Support metrics jointly agreed to be tracked in SLA/OLA

 

  c. What metrics have been met

 

  d. Any operational issues with meeting committed metrics

 

  3. Expenses

 

  a. Planned expenses versus actual expenses as measured on a period-to-date and year-to-date basis

 

  b. New items or expenses from SHMC

 

  c. Expected changes to expenses for the remainder of the year (either decreases or increases)

 

  d. Charges incurred by SHO for postponed or cancelled projects
