<br />6. Charges and Payment <br /> <br />For sales throuah IBM. your charges are calculated taking into account your Service selections, price protection option, payment option, and for <br />prepayments, length of the prepay period. You agree to pay by electronic funds transfer (to an account specified by IBM) or other means <br />acceptable to IBM. <br /> <br />FOR EACH TRANSACTION PACKAGE YOU MAY SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING 3 PRICE PROTECTION OPTIONS. YOUR <br />SELECTION WILL BE SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT TRANSACTION PACKAGE. <br /> <br />OPTION #1 - PRICE PROTECTION DURING EACH TRANSACTION CONTRACT YEAR ONLY <br />IBM may revise charges. However, any rate increase will not take effect until the next yearly anniversary of the start of the transaction contract <br />period. At the start of each transaction contract year, you will be invoiced at the charge rates that are then in effect and that invoice will serve <br />as your notice of charge rate changes. <br /> <br />All newly added Eligible Products and Services, as well as changes to existing Eligible Product configurations and Services, will assume the <br />charge rate that applied for these at the previous yearly anniversary of the start of the transaction contract period. Eligible Products and Services <br />that become generally available during the transaction contract period will be added at the charge rate that applied on their initial availability date. <br /> <br />OPTION #2 - PRICE PROTECTION FOR ENTIRE TRANSACTION CONTRACT PERIOD, INCLUDES PROTECTION FOR NEWLY ADDED <br />MACHINE TYPES <br />For the entire transaction contract period, charges for included Eligible Product configurations and Services will not increase. All newly added <br />Eligible Products and Services, as well as changes to existing Eligible Product configurations and Services, will assume the charge rate that <br />applied for these at transaction contract period start. Eligible Products and Services that become generally available during the transaction <br />contract period will be added at the charge rate that applied on their initial availability date. You will receive the benefit of a decrease in applicable <br />charges for amounts which become due on or after the effective date of the decrease. <br /> <br />OPTION #3 - PRICE PROTECTION FOR TRANSACTION CONTRACT PERIOD PREPAY <br />Since you have selected to prepay for the entire transaction contract period, you will not be subject to increases in charges (during that period) <br />for included Eligible Product configurations and Services. All newly added Eligible Products and Services, as well as changes to existing Eligible <br />Product configurations and Services, will assume the charge rate that applied for these at transaction contract period start with adjustment for <br />the reduced prepay period. Eligible Products and Services that become generally available during the transaction contract period will be added <br />subject to the charge rate that applied on their initial availability date with adjustment for the reduced prepay period. If you elect to have these <br />charge terms apply for charges during any renewal transaction contract period (as recalculated at the start of each renewal period), you must <br />provide IBM written notification (at least one month prior to the start of the renewal period) and prepayment for the entire renewal period. <br />Otherwise, charges for the renewal period will revert to a quarterly billing cycle under the terms set out for Option #1 above. <br /> <br />FOR EACH TRANSACTION PACKAGE THE FOLLOWING CHARGE ADJUSTMENT TERMS APPLY. <br /> <br />Total Services charges may be adjusted whenever: <br /> <br />1. a review of the inventory count indicates a change from the last accounting; or <br />2. a Specified Location, Eligible Machine type, or Service is added, deleted, or changed. <br /> <br />For all Service charges based on usage, upon IBM's request you will immediately provide IBM with the actual meter reading recording the actual <br />usage. <br /> <br />For sales through IBM Business Partners. your IBM Business Partner sets the charges and terms governing charges. Your IBM Business <br />Partner may impose an additional charge for some actions, e.g., termination, or for IBM's provision of some additional services, e.g., Service <br />upgrades. These actions or additional services are identified in this Attachment and its associated Statements of Work and Change Authorizations <br />with an asterisk ("."). Where you see an asterisk, check with your IBM Business Partner to determine if you will incur an additional charge or may <br />be entitled to a credit or refund. You will make payment directly to your IBM Business Partner. <br /> <br />IBM may charge you directly for certain expenses IBM incurs in performance of a Service for you (e.g. actual travel and living expenses, <br />out-of-pocket expenses). IBM will not incur these expenses without your prior approval. <br /> <br />7. Renewal and Termination <br /> <br />IBM will automatically renew Services unless you or your IBM Business Partner request otherwise. For each transaction the Schedule will specify <br />the number of years (0 or greater) in the Renewal Contract Period. Whenever this number is greater than 0, IBM will renew the applicable Services <br />at the end of the transaction contract period for the number of years specified. Thereafter, IBM will automatically renew the Services for same <br />length periods unless you or your IBM Business Partner notify IBM in advance of your desire to change the length of the renewal. You, your IBM <br />Business Partner, or IBM can select not to renew by providing written notification (at least one month prior to the end of the current transaction <br />contract period) to the others of its decision not to renew. Nonrenewal notification sent to you by IBM or received by IBM from either you or your <br />IBM Business Partner will result in IBM ceasing to provide you the applicable Services at the end of the current transaction contract period. <br /> <br />In case of renewals, charges are recalculated at the start of each renewal period. For sales through IBM, the new charges will be based on the <br />length of the Renewal Contract Period and then current charges associated with your contracted a) Services, b) price protection option, and c) <br />payment option. <br /> <br />One of the following termination provisions will apply based on the length of the transaction contract period specified In the Schedule. <br /> <br />PROVISION #1 - ONE YEAR TRANSACTION CONTRACT PERIOD <br />You may terminate Services for an Eligible Product, on notice to IBM. if you permanently remove it from productive use within your Enterprise. <br />You may also terminate Services by providing IBM one month's written notice, after the Services have been under contract for at least one year. <br />You will receive a credit for any remaining prepaid period associated with Services you terminate in accordance with this provision.. <br /> <br />PROVISION #2 - MULTI-YEAR TRANSACTION CONTRACT PERIOD <br /> <br />Z125-7227-01 11/2005 (MK076) <br /> <br />contract AVCOJ1 (prepared 12/13/0511:11 AVEHUMB) <br /> <br />Paqe 3 of 5 <br />
