SECTION 4.2       THIRD PARTY SERVICES

         Zale shall have the right to contract with a third party to perform any
services which are in addition to, or outside the scope of, the Services or
which require resources not covered by the Charges. If Zale contracts with a
third party to perform any such service, ACS will cooperate with Zale and such
third party to the extent reasonably required by Zale. Zale will require such
third parties to comply with ACS' reasonable requirements regarding operations,
standards, security and the care and use of ACS' Confidential Information and
ACS Software as well as any restrictions relating to access to any Third Party
Software products. Zale shall be responsible for any fees or other charges or
expenses charged by any Third Party Software providers to enable such third
party service providers to access or otherwise use such Software.

SECTION 4.3       AFFILIATES

         Throughout the Term, ACS may provide the Services to Zale and to those
present and future Affiliates of Zale as Zale may designate from time to time,
all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement;
provided that Zale and its Affiliates will be responsible for any fees or other
charges or expenses incurred by ACS or charged by any Third Party Software
providers to enable such Affiliates to obtain the Services. (e.g., equipment,
software transfer or upgrade fees, license or lease obligations).

         If at any time during the Term, Zale sells or otherwise transfers
ownership of an Affiliate to a third party, ACS will continue to provide the
Services to such Affiliate if requested by Zale and for the time period
requested by Zale, up to the expiration or termination of the Term on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Master Agreement, provided that the scope of
the Services provided by ACS to the third party does not materially differ from
those provided to Zale as a part of this Agreement, and that Zale and the third
party will be responsible for any charge or expenses incurred by ACS or imposed
by third parties (e.g., Third Party Software providers and telecommunication
carriers). ACS may require the Affiliate or its new parent company to sign an
agreement for services substantially similar to this Agreement, as appropriate
for the new parent or divested former Affiliate, if necessary, to comply with
requirements of ACS' Third Party Software providers.

SECTION 4.4       ADDITIONAL SERVICES

         ACS shall perform all services requested by Zale that are not Services
under Section 4.1 above (the "Additional Services") on a time and materials
basis at the rates specified in Schedule B or as otherwise agreed. Zale shall
not pay ACS for Additional Services except in accordance with the following
procedure: (i) Zale shall request Additional Services in writing; (ii) ACS shall
promptly provide Zale a written estimate of the total cost of performing the
Additional Services (the "Task Estimate"); (iii) if Zale chooses to purchase the
Additional Services, Zale shall give ACS written authorization to perform the
Additional Services. Zale shall not be obligated to pay any fees for the
Additional Services that exceed the Task Estimate. ACS shall maintain time
records for all applicable time and work expended on the Additional Services and
shall document such records with the applicable invoice, as appropriate.

SECTION 4.5       MODIFICATION OF SERVICES

         Zale may choose from time to time to modify or alter any of the
Services provided under this Agreement. ACS will provide such Modified Services
as requested subject to corresponding adjustments in Fees as mutually agreed and
subject to Section 12.1. To facilitate such modifications, ACS will maintain a
formal, documented modification process.

                                       9



SECTION 4.6       EMPLOYEE SCREENING

         ACS agrees that with regard to its personnel assigned, or to be
assigned, at the Zale facilities or providing any Service or Additional Service
hereunder, and other personnel of ACS subcontractors who perform significant and
extended work at a Zale facility or with Zale Data, Zale may request that ACS
conduct lawful background checks and tests for unlawful drug use on those
individuals, or any of them, to include checks for any prior criminal
convictions whether felony or misdemeanor. ACS will promptly perform such checks
and will report the results to Zale. As a result of such checks, Zale may
reasonably request that certain individuals are not assigned to Zale Services,
and ACS will designate replacements, subject to the screening requirements set
forth herein.

SECTION 4.7       PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES

         ACS will, at a minimum, employ generally accepted industry professional
"best practices" in providing the Services but never less than the operational
practices required by this Agreement and applicable Schedules.

SECTION 4.8       APPROVED SUBCONTRACTORS

         (a) In providing the Services, ACS may not subcontract any material
portions of the Services, except as approved by Zale, whose approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld. To the extent any subcontractor is permitted under
this Section 4.8, ACS will cooperate to establish reasonable protections and
controls with respect to such data and information, including having such
subcontractor sign appropriate confidentiality and data protection agreements
reasonably acceptable to Zale after its review.

         (b) ACS will be responsible for the compliance by any of its
subcontractors with all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to ACS.
ACS will remain responsible for all performance under this Agreement by any of
its subcontractors to the same extent as if such performance was made by ACS.
ACS will remain Zale's sole point of contact regarding the Services.

         (c) If Zale expresses any concerns to ACS regarding material or
potentially material performance issues with any ACS subcontractors, ACS will
investigate the matter and implement corrective action approved by Zale.

SECTION 4.9       ACCESS TO ZALE FACILITIES

         In its performance of the Services, ACS and its employees, contractors
and agents shall have reasonable access to Zale's facilities or portions
thereof, subject to Zale's security policies and procedures and Zale's Code of
Conduct (as both may be amended from time to time).

                    SECTION 5 -- SERVICE LEVELS/BENCHMARKING

SECTION 5.1       SERVICE LEVELS

         Concurrently with entering into this Agreement, Zale and ACS agree to
the quantitative measurements defined in Schedule C intended to calculate ACS'
level of performance of certain Service elements ("Service Levels"). With
respect to a Service element which has an associated Service Level, ACS will
provide such Service element throughout the Term in a manner which meets or
exceeds the associated Service Level.

                                       10



SECTION 5.2       FAILURE TO MEET SERVICE LEVELS

         (a) For each particular Service, there may be certain Service Levels
which have a financial consequence associated with ACS' failure to achieve them.
Should ACS fail to meet any such Service Level for reasons other than those
specified in Section 5.2(c) below, Zale will have the option, but not the
obligation, to recover the applicable amount specified ("Service Level Credits")
as liquidated damages. ACS will deduct the Service Level Credits from the next
succeeding invoice or other amounts due to ACS. The election to receive any such
Service Level Credits is in lieu of any and all other remedies Zale may
otherwise pursue at law or in equity for breach or failure of performance,
except that accepting Service Level Credits shall not affect Zale's rights under
Section 17.1. If ACS' failure to meet Service Levels triggers Zale's right to
terminate the Agreement, Zale must exercise its right of termination within six
(6) months after Zale becomes aware of or should reasonably have become aware of
the event(s) giving rise to such right of termination or Zale will be deemed to
have waived such termination right with respect to that event.

         (b) Each time ACS incurs a Service Level Credit, ACS will: (i)
investigate the root cause(s) of the failure and deliver to Zale a report
identifying such root cause(s) within 10 days of the failure and (ii) correct
the problem and begin meeting such Service Level as soon as practicable;
provided that, if such problem is not reasonably capable of correction, the
parties shall determine how ACS should provide the related service in such a way
as to avoid a repetition of the problem. In any event, Zale shall be responsible
for costs of such efforts where the cause of the failure is not due to acts or
omissions of ACS or a third party under ACS' control.

         (c) To the extent any failure to meet a Service Level is caused by (i)
a Force Majeure Event, or (ii) a breach by Zale of this Master Agreement, or
(iii) any Excused Performance Problem, Zale will not be entitled to a Service
Level Credit.

SECTION 5.3       SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS RESULTING FROM A SINGLE INCIDENT

         If a single incident results in the failure of ACS to meet two Service
Levels, Zale shall be entitled to receive two Service Level Credits. If a single
incident results in the failure of ACS to meet three or more Service Levels,
Zale shall be entitled to receive up to three Service Level Credits, within the
provisions of Schedule C -- Service Level Agreements.

SECTION 5.4       BENCHMARKING

         Within 18 months after the Effective Date, and in each eighteen month
period thereafter, ACS will notify Zale of its option to conduct a benchmark of
the performance of the Services, Charges and Service Levels. Within 15 days of
Zale's decision to proceed with a benchmark, the Parties will agree on an
acceptable third party, that is not an ACS Competitor, and the Parties will
jointly engage such third party to benchmark ("the Benchmarker") the Services
and, if such party is not available, choose a replacement Benchmarker reasonably
acceptable to Zale and ACS. ACS will reasonably cooperate with the Benchmarker
and provide all data relating to the provision of the Services requested by the
Benchmarker, provided that ACS will not be required to provide any information
relating to its margins, costs, cost elements or business processes, or to
disclose any proprietary or trade secret information of ACS or its other
customers. The fees and expenses charged by the Benchmarker will be shared
equally by the Parties. In conducting the benchmarking, the Benchmarker will
normalize the data used to perform the benchmarking to accommodate, as
appropriate, differences in duration of the contract, volume of services, scope
of services, service levels, financing and payment schemes (including up-front
incentive payments), geographic configurations of the solution and other
pertinent factors. Based upon the results

                                       11



of such benchmarking, ACS will cooperate with Zale to investigate any
unfavorable variances, determine if such unfavorable variances are due to unique
Zale requirements or ACS' resource allocation and related pricing. Following a
benchmarking, Zale and ACS will meet to discuss in good faith the benchmarking,
and ACS will, if appropriate, put forth a recommended plan for adjusting the
Services, Charges, and Service Levels. Upon Zale's approval, ACS will implement
the plan so that Services or Service Levels, as the case may be, conform to the
benchmark, or, if such Services or Service Levels are not reasonably capable of
such adjustment, Charges are adjusted by a percentage reflecting the variance
between the Services and/or Service Levels, as the case may be, and their
applicable Benchmark(s).

          SECTION 6 -- TRANSFERS OF EQUIPMENT AND THIRD PARTY CONTRACTS

SECTION 6.1       TRANSFERS OF EQUIPMENT

         If specified in Schedule F, Zale will assign, and ACS will assume,
Zale's obligations under the applicable leases for certain Equipment that is
used to provide the Services, and/or Zale may sell Equipment owned by it to ACS
(the "Transferred Equipment"). Zale will obtain consents to such assignments
under such leases as promptly as practicable. Schedule F will state the other
terms and conditions applicable to the Transferred Equipment. Zale represents
and warrants that it owns title to, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, or is current with regard to any lease obligations with respect
to, any Transferred Equipment and has maintained such Transferred Equipment in
all material respects in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.

SECTION 6.2       THIRD PARTY CONTRACTS

         (a) Schedule F will provide for the treatment of all Third Party
Contracts, as follows: (i) all or certain of the Third Party Contracts may be
assigned by Zale to ACS, (ii) all or certain of the Third Party Contracts may be
retained by Zale, (iii) any required Third Party Consents (as defined below)
will be obtained by Zale, ACS or both, as specified in the Schedule, and (iv)
the respective financial, operational and other obligations of the Parties with
respect to the Third Party Contracts will be set forth in the Schedule.

         (b) If any required Third Party Consent cannot be reasonably obtained,
ACS will identify and adopt, at Zale's expense and subject to Zale's prior
approval, such alternative approaches as are necessary to provide the Services
without such Third Party Consent.

         (c) Subject to obtaining any required Third Party Consents, Zale will
grant to ACS the same rights of access to, and use of, the Third Party Contracts
used by Zale. If the scope of Zale's right of access to, and use of, any Third
Party Software is not as extensive as required by ACS to provide the Services to
any Affiliate or other entity that would be the recipient of the Services under
this Agreement, Zale will obtain such rights of access and use necessary to
allow ACS to utilize such Zale Third Party Software to provide such Services to
the Affiliate or other entity under this Agreement.

         (d) The term "Third Party Consent" shall mean any consent required from
a third party in order for a party to use, access, or assign a Third Party
Contract or as otherwise required to effectuate the transactions contemplated by
this Master Agreement. Payment by ACS or Zale of such transfer, upgrade and
other fees necessary to obtain any Third Party Consents with respect to Third
Party Contracts is specified in the applicable sections of this Agreement.

                                       12




            SECTION 7 -- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

SECTION 7.1       ZALE SOFTWARE

         Schedule F-5 will identify the Zale Software, if any, that ACS is
authorized to access to perform the Services and specify the rights of ACS to
use the Zale Software.

SECTION 7.2       ACS PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE

         Schedule F-5 will identify any ACS Proprietary Software that will be
used to provide the Services. ACS will install, operate and maintain any ACS
Proprietary Software needed to provide the Services. As of the Effective Date,
ACS grants to Zale, to the extent necessary for Zale to receive the Services
from ACS, a revocable, worldwide, royalty free, nonexclusive license during the
Term to use ACS Proprietary Software for the sole benefit of Zale. Except for
the foregoing license, ACS retains all right, title and interest in and to the
ACS Proprietary Software.

         In the event that Zale assumes the Services at termination, ACS will
grant to Zale, solely for the benefit of Zale, a license to use the ACS
Proprietary Software for the sole purpose of continuing the Services, at the
then-current rates for similarly situated former customers, and as governed by
the Confidential Information provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement. With
regard to any ACS Third-Party Software licensed to ACS and used by ACS to
provide the Services, ACS will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist
Zale to obtain its own license for such software as required to provide the
Services.

SECTION 7.3       THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

         Schedule F-5 will identify any Third Party Software required to perform
the Services and specify the party which has operational and financial
responsibility related to such Third Party Software, including the obligation to
maintain licenses for Third Party Software Licenses and upgrade, enhance, and
implement new versions of Third Party Software.

        (a) ACS THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE. Schedule F-5 sets forth a complete list of
all ACS Third Party Software that will be used by ACS to perform the Services as
of the Effective Date. ACS will update Schedule F-5, and provide such updates to
Zale, as it modifies, supplements, or changes such ACS Third Party Software from
time to time. All such ACS Third Party Software other than the ACS Third Party
Software identified on Schedule F-5 as generally available commercial software
will be deemed "CRITICAL ACS THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE" unless otherwise agreed by
the Parties. ACS will inform Zale of the existence and ownership of, and the
extent of ACS' rights to, all such Critical ACS Third Party Software prior to
using such software in connection with the Services. ACS will use commercially
reasonable efforts to assist Zale to obtain a license to use (and permit third
parties to use solely on its behalf) such Critical ACS Third Party Software and
all available, relevant documentation (in source and object code form) effective
upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement and upon the third-party
vendor's standard terms and conditions.

         (b) If, after exhausting the measures described in Section 7.3(a)
above, ACS is unable to obtain the license (or the agreement to grant a license)
described in paragraph (a) above, ACS will not use any such Critical
ACS-Licensed Software to provide the Services except as follows:

                  (i) Prior to introducing such proposed Critical ACS Third
Party Software, ACS will notify Zale of its inability to obtain for Zale such a
license or agreement and the cost and viability of any other software that can
perform the requisite functions and with respect to which ACS has the ability to

                                       13



grant or transfer such a license or agreement. Such notice will contain the
proposed Critical ACS Third Party Software vendor's then-current terms and
conditions, if any, for making the software available to Zale upon expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

                  (ii) With Zale's prior approval, ACS may then introduce such
Critical ACS Third Party Software for use in providing the Services.

                  (iii) If Zale rejects the proposed Critical ACS Third Party
Software and instead decides to investigate an alternative to the proposed
Critical ACS Third Party Software, then ACS and Zale will begin this same
process with respect to such alternative and pursue obtaining the license rights
for Zale as described in Section 7.3(a).

         (c) ZALE THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE. Schedule F-5 sets forth certain Zale
Third Party Software, which may include tools, data, databases and methodologies
licensed by Zale, (i) with respect to which Zale will retain responsibility and
(ii) to which ACS will require access in order to perform under this Agreement.
Such items are collectively referred to as "ZALE THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE". Zale
Third Party Software will include any other subsequently identified third-party
software, tools, data, databases and methodologies licensed by Zale, access to
which will be provided to ACS to perform under this Agreement. As between the
Parties, Zale will be the sole and exclusive owner of the rights to the Zale
Third Party Software. ACS will access, use, copy, modify and enhance the Zale
Third Party Software (i) solely as needed to perform under this Agreement, (ii)
solely during the Agreement Term and (iii) in compliance with any applicable use
restrictions and applicable license terms and conditions that are identified in
writing to ACS. For any Required Consent or other permission required to allow
ACS to access or use the Zale Third Party Software, Zale shall have
administrative responsibility to obtain such permission or consent, with the
reasonable assistance of ACS if necessary, and Zale shall pay all fees, costs,
and other expenses required to obtain such consent or permission

SECTION 7.4       NON-INFRINGEMENT

         ACS will perform its obligations under this Master Agreement in a
manner that does not infringe or constitute an infringement or misappropriation
of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of
any third party.


                          SECTION 8 -- CONFIDENTIALITY

SECTION 8.1       DEFINITIONS

         (a) "Disclosing Party" means the party furnishing Confidential
Information and "Receiving Party" means the party receiving the Confidential
Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party.

         (b) "Confidential Information" means (i) the following information,
with or without being designated as confidential: ACS Software, Zale Data, Zale
Software, all notes, schedules, summaries, charts, architectural drawings,
network diagrams and other information which is derived or otherwise sourced
from the Confidential Information, any information identifying the Disclosing
Party's clients or suppliers, and the terms of this Master Agreement, and (ii)
the following information if designated as confidential:

                           (A) information relating to the Disclosing Party's
software or hardware products or services, or to its research and development
projects or plans;

                                       14




                           (B) information relating to the Disclosing Party's
methodologies, processes, techniques and business practices; and

                           (C) information relating to the Disclosing Party's
business, policies, strategies, operations, finances, plans or opportunities.

                  Information disclosed orally shall be deemed "designated" as
confidential unless it falls into one of the categories listed below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include
information which the Receiving Party can establish:

                           (A) has become generally available to the public or
commonly known in either party's business other than as a result of a breach by
the Receiving Party of any obligation to the Disclosing Party;

                           (B) was known to the Receiving Party prior to
disclosure to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party by reason other than
having been previously disclosed in confidence to the Receiving Party;

                           (C) was disclosed to the Receiving Party on a
non-confidential basis by a third party who did not owe an obligation of
confidence to the Disclosing party with respect to the disclosed information; or

                           (D) was independently developed by the Receiving
Party without any reference to any part of the Confidential Information.

SECTION 8.2       RIGHTS, RESTRICTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE RECEIVING PARTY

         (a)      During the Term, the Receiving Party may:

                  (i) disclose Confidential Information received from the
Disclosing Party only to its subcontractors, agents, representatives, advisors,
employees, officers and directors and Affiliates who have a need to know such
information exclusively for the purpose of executing its obligations or
exercising its rights under this Master Agreement and who are required to abide
by the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Confidential Information;

                  (ii) reproduce the Confidential Information received from the
Disclosing Party only as required to execute its obligations or exercise its
rights under this Master Agreement; and

                  (iii) disclose Confidential Information as required by law,
provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prompt notice prior to
such disclosure to allow the Disclosing Party to make a reasonable effort to
obtain a protective order or otherwise protect the confidentiality of such
information.

         (b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Master Agreement,
the Receiving Party will not during the Term and after expiration or earlier
termination hereof:

                  (i) disclose, in whole or in part, any Confidential
Information; or

                  (ii) sell, rent, lease, transfer, encumber, pledge, reproduce,
publish, transmit, translate, modify, reverse engineer, compile, disassemble or
otherwise use the Confidential Information in whole or in part.

                                       15



         (c) The Receiving Party will keep the Confidential Information strictly
confidential, exercising no less than the same care in preventing unauthorized
disclosure or use of the Confidential Information that it takes to protect its
own information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care.
Reasonable care includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

                  (i) informing its subcontractors, agents, representatives,
advisors, directors, officers, employees and Affiliates and, where applicable,
their directors, officers and employees, of the confidential nature of the
Confidential Information and the terms of this Master Agreement, directing them
to comply with these terms, and obtaining their written acknowledgment that they
have been so informed and directed, and their written undertaking to abide by
these terms; and

                  (ii) notifying the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery
of any loss, unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information, or any
other breach of this Section by the Receiving Party, or any breach of or
intrusion into the Receiving Party's security systems and assisting the
Disclosing Party in every commercially reasonable way to help the Disclosing
Party regain possession of any and all Confidential Information disclosed in
breach hereof and to prevent further unauthorized disclosure or use.

         (d)      The Receiving Party acknowledges that:

                  (i) the Disclosing Party possesses and will continue to
possess Confidential Information that has been created, discovered or developed
by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party, or otherwise provided to the Disclosing
Party by third parties, which information has commercial value and is not in the
public domain;

                  (ii) unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential
Information is likely to cause injury not readily measurable in monetary
damages, and therefore irreparable;

                  (iii) in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of
Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party will be entitled, without waiving
any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be
deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction;

                  (iv) subject to the rights expressly granted to the Receiving
Party in this Master Agreement, the Disclosing Party and its licensors retain
all right, title and interest in and to its Confidential Information, regardless
of whether provided by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party or created by the
Receiving Party; and

                  (v) any disclosure by the subcontractors, agents,
representatives, advisors, directors, officers and employees and Affiliates of
the Receiving Party and, where applicable, their directors, officers and
employees will be deemed to be disclosure by the Receiving Party and the
Receiving Party will be liable for any such disclosure as if the Receiving Party
had disclosed the Confidential Information.

SECTION 8.3        RETURN OF DISCLOSING PARTY INFORMATION; RIGHT TO REVIEW

         (a) As soon as practicable upon the Disclosing Party's request, and at
the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Agreement, the Receiving
Party will:

                  (i) return all Confidential Information, including, without
limitation, all originals, hard copies, reproductions and summaries of
Confidential Information; and


                                       16



                  (ii) if Confidential Information is in a form that is
impractical to return, destroy all copies of Confidential Information in its
possession, power or control, which are present on magnetic media, optical disk,
volatile memory or other storage device, in a manner that assures the
Confidential Information is rendered unrecoverable.

                  Upon completion of those tasks, an officer of the Receiving
Party will provide written confirmation to the Disclosing Party that the
requirements of this Section have been satisfied.

         (b) The Disclosing party may visit the Receiving Party's premises, upon
reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to review the
Receiving Party's compliance with the terms of this Section.

SECTION 8.4       OWNERSHIP OF ZALE DATA

         All Zale Data will remain the property of Zale. In addition to being
protected as Confidential Information pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs of
this Section 8, the Zale Data will not be (i) used by ACS other than in
connection with providing the Services, (ii) disclosed, sold, assigned, leased
or otherwise provided to third parties by ACS, or (iii) commercially exploited
by or on behalf of ACS, its employees or agents.

SECTION 8.5       RETURN OF ZALE DATA

         ACS will upon (i) request by Zale at any time, and (ii) the cessation
of all Termination/Expiration Assistance, promptly return to Zale, in the format
and on the media in use as of the date of request, all or any requested portion
of the Zale Data. Any archival tapes containing any Zale Data will be destroyed
in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3 (a) (ii).

         Further, ACS agrees that upon Zale's written request, ACS shall, within
twenty-four hours, or if twenty-four hours is not reasonably practicable, as
soon as is reasonably practicable, provide Zale with a copy of its business
critical data (as reasonably defined by Zale) and shall provide any other Zale
Data promptly using ACS' best professional efforts and in the sequence requested
by Zale. Data provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be provided in media as
Zale directs. Subject to the foregoing, unless furnished or paid for by Zale,
the actual media on which Zale Data is stored, after the complete deletion of
Zale Data or Confidential Information, is and shall remain the property of ACS.


            SECTION 9 -- ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT/PERSONNEL/CHANGE CONTROL

SECTION 9.1       ACCOUNT MANAGERS

         (a) ACS and Zale each will appoint an individual with overall program
management responsibility for monitoring the performance of Services and
addressing performance deficiencies under this Agreement (the "Account
Manager(s)"). Subject to and in accordance with the terms and requirements of
this Agreement, the Account Managers will meet upon the request of either party
to:

                  (i) ensure that the Service Levels are met, and in the event
of deficiencies not resolved by the personnel directly involved in the
preparation and execution of the subject task, develop and implement problem
recovery plans and solutions;

                  (ii) review ACS' performance, coordinate the provision of
Services to Zale and discuss future Zale requirements;

                                       17



                  (iii) serve as the principal interface between Zale and ACS
with respect to all issues relating to the Services;

                  (iv) review the parties' responsibilities and any failure by
either party to perform any such responsibilities; and

                  (v) discuss and attempt to resolve, if applicable, any other
matters relating to the Services that may arise from time to time.

         (b) To the extent that the Account Managers are unable to resolve any
issue, each of them will refer that issue to a person at the appropriate level
of ACS or Zale management necessary to resolve the issue, who will use
reasonable efforts to promptly resolve the issue.

SECTION 9.2       KEY PERSONNEL

         Upon entering into this Agreement, the Parties may agree that certain
personnel will be defined as either "Key ACS Personnel", "Key Transferred
Employees" or "Key Zale Personnel". Such individuals will be identified by job
description and the parties may establish certain criteria relative to the
transfer or redeployment of such individuals within each Party's respective
organization. All special designations of any "Key Personnel" (both of ACS and
Zale) and any agreed upon parameters surrounding their activities in support of
the transactions contemplated by this Master Agreement will be specified
Schedule E.

SECTION 9.3       TECHNICAL CHANGE CONTROL

         ACS will implement any changes in the technical environment and systems
used to provide the Services in accordance with Schedule A and any applicable
procedures manual (the "Technical Change Control Procedures"). Furthermore, ACS
will not make any change that materially affects the functions, controls, or
performance of, or decreases the operational efficiency of, the Services,
without first obtaining Zale's approval; provided that, if such proposed action
or decision is one that, if not permitted, would cause ACS not to be able to
meet an applicable Service Level, Zale's refusal to grant such request will be
considered an Excused Performance Problem. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACS
may make temporary changes required by an emergency but shall, if reasonably
practicable, contact appropriate Zale personnel to obtain prior approval. ACS
will promptly notify Zale of any emergency changes implemented without prior
Zale approval, and will provide the documentation required to meet Zale's
Technical Change Control Procedures, to facilitate approvals and any further
actions required. In all cases, ACS shall provide Zale with documentation to
describe the Technical Change Control Procedure.

SECTION 9.4     CONTRACT CHANGE CONTROL

         (a) From time to time during the Term, Zale or ACS may propose changes
in or additions to the Services or other aspects of this Agreement. Subject to
clause (c) below, all such changes shall be implemented pursuant to the
procedures set forth in this Section (the "Change Control Procedures").

         (b) Any change to this Master Agreement must be approved by the Account
Manager of each Party and memorialized in a written amendment executed by both
parties that specifically identifies this Master Agreement, the section of this
Agreement that is the subject of the amendment, and the new provision.

         (c) If Zale desires to propose a change in or addition to the Services,
it shall deliver a written notice to the ACS Account Manager describing the
proposal. ACS shall respond to such proposal by preparing a written document
("Change Control Document"), indicating: (i) the effect of the proposal, if

                                       18



any, on the amounts payable by Zale; (ii) the possible effect of the proposal,
if any, on Service Levels; and (iii) the anticipated time schedule for
implementing the proposal. If ACS desires to propose a change in or addition to
the Services or other aspects of this Agreement, it may do so by preparing and
delivering a Change Control Document to the Zale Account Manager.

         (d) Routine changes made in the ordinary course of ACS' provision of
the Services that are performed within the then-existing resources used to
provide the Services and that do not affect Service Levels (such as changes to
operating procedures, schedules and Equipment configurations) may be made by ACS
without the necessity of the above, subject to Zale's prior approval, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, when such changes are to Zale equipment,
procedures or resources.

SECTION 9.5       EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

         All ACS personnel assigned to the Zale account by ACS (or its permitted
subcontractors) will be and remain employees of ACS (or such permitted
subcontractors), and ACS (or such permitted subcontractors) will provide for and
pay the compensation and other benefits of such personnel, including salary,
health, accident and workers' compensation benefits and all taxes and
contributions that an employer is required to pay with respect to the employment
of employees.


                              SECTION 10 -- AUDITS

         ACS will maintain records and supporting documentation of all financial
and non-financial transactions under this Master Agreement sufficient to permit
an audit thereof in accordance with this Section 10. At its expense, ACS will
provide to Zale, Zale's internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators
and such other representatives as Zale may designate from time to time
reasonable access at reasonable times and after reasonable notice (which, unless
circumstances reasonably preclude such notice, would be no less than five (5)
Business Days) to (i) the parts of any ACS facility at which ACS is providing
the Services, (ii) ACS personnel providing the Services, and (iii) all relevant
data and records relating to the Services, for the purpose of performing
financial, technical and other audits and inspections of ACS' provision of the
services and of Zale and its business, to verify the integrity of Zale Data and
the adequate protection of Zale's Confidential Information and to examine ACS'
Charges under this Master Agreement. Auditors shall be subject to ACS
confidentiality and security requirements and shall not be ACS Competitors. Such
audits shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with
ACS' operations. In no event shall auditors have access to ACS cost information.
Other than audits conducted or required by regulators, Zale will limit its
audits to one (1) in any annual period. No later than December 31 of each
calendar year throughout the Term of this Agreement, ACS will deliver to Zale
reports from ACS' independent auditors of examinations in accordance with SAS
No. 70, Type II, of the controls, procedures, and systems of ACS and its
subcontractors related to the Services. At Zale's request and expense, ACS will
expand the SAS 70 report to address Zale's particular requirements, to the
extent that the independent auditors are able to address such requirements. ACS
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remediate any deficiencies that are
individually or in the aggregate material, identified by and consistent with the
SAS 70 audits. As requested by Zale, but no more than once during each year of
the Agreement, ACS shall provide written confirmation that there have been no
significant changes in its controls, procedures and systems related to the
Services during the three month period following the preceding SAS 70 report.
This Section will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and
will continue to the third (3rd) anniversary of the expiration or termination of
the Term.

replacement cost value and shall not be responsible for any losses that exceed
the estimated amount.

             SECTION 14 -- REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

SECTION 14.1      MUTUAL REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY

         Each party represents, warrants and covenants that:

         (a) It is a corporation, duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the state in which it is incorporated, and is in
good standing in each other jurisdiction where the failure to be in good
standing would have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to
perform its obligations under this Master Agreement.

         (b) It has all necessary corporate power and authority to own, lease
and operate its assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and
as it will be conducted pursuant to this Master Agreement.

         (c) It has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into
this Master Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and the
execution and delivery of this Master Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate actions on its part.

         (d) This Master Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such party, enforceable against it in connection with its terms.

         (e) This Agreement does not contravene any provision set forth in any
contract, agreement, or order to which either party is subject.

         (f) It is either the owner of, or authorized to use, any and all
Software provided by such party, and, in the case of Zale, including the ability
to use such Software on behalf of Affiliates and third party service providers.
As to any Software that a party does not own but is authorized to use, such
party shall advise the other party as to the ownership and extent of its rights
with regard to such Software, including the ability to use such Software on
behalf of Affiliates, divested entities and other third party service providers,
and to the extent any limitation in such rights would impair ACS' performance of
its obligations or Zale's receipt of the services under this Agreement.

         (g) It shall perform its responsibilities under this Agreement in a
manner that does not infringe, or constitute an infringement or misappropriation
of, any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual
property rights of any third party.

         (h) It shall perform its responsibilities under this Agreement in
compliance with all applicable laws related to the performance of the Services,
in the case of ACS, or the receipt of the Services, in the case of Zale, or to
the performance of its other obligations hereunder.

                                       22



                  (i) Zale and ACS shall not export or re-export any personal
computer system, part, technical data or sub-elements purchased in the United
States for use under this Agreement, directly or indirectly, to any destinations
or persons prohibited by the United States Government, and, notwithstanding any
other term, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to call for such
export. The term 'technical data' in this context, means such data as is defined
as technical data by applicable United States export regulations. Zale
represents that all Software, Equipment or technical information provided by
Zale to ACS under this Agreement shall be free from restriction, regulation or
special procedure regarding export from the country in which such Software is
developed and from the United States to any other countries, except Embargoed
Countries.

                           (A) Where appropriate, Zale shall facilitate any
clearances required for using Zale Proprietary Software, Zale Third Party
Software, Equipment or technical information outside of the countries in which
such Software, Equipment and technical information is developed and/or the
United States, as appropriate. Zale shall provide ACS with all ECCN numbers for
such Software, Equipment, and technical information, upon ACS' request, if ACS
is required to obtain clearance before such Software, Equipment, and/or
technical information can be used to provide the Services.

                           (B) In the event any Software for which a party is
operationally responsible hereunder shall become subject to any export, import,
re-export or similar restriction, regulation or special procedure, whether due
to changes in the applicable law or due to changes in or upgrades to such
Software such party shall (i) notify the other party of any such restrictions,
regulations or special procedures of which it becomes aware, and (ii) procure,
where legally possible, any such licenses, permits, registrations or other
permission necessary to export, import or re-export such Software as may be
reasonably necessary in connection with the Services, except that neither party
shall be required to obtain licenses for export of such Software to any of the
Embargoed Countries.

                           (C) Each party shall provide all reasonable
assistance to the other party, and shall supply all necessary information to the
other party in order for such other party to procure necessary licenses and
comply with all export control laws and the provisions of this paragraph.

SECTION 14.2      ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES

         (a) Performance. ACS warrants that all Services will be performed in a
good and workmanlike manner.

         (b) Viruses. Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts,
including using industry standard virus protection software and other customary
procedures to screen any software provided or made available by it to the other
Party under this Agreement or other software (including email) or Equipment
under its control and used to perform the Services, to avoid introducing any
"virus", "Trojan horse", "worm", or other disabling or destructive code that is
intended to materially disrupt the proper operation of the systems. If such code
is found to have been introduced by ACS into such systems, then, without
limiting Zale's other remedies under this Agreement, ACS will use commercially
reasonable efforts to promptly mitigate, and to assist Zale in mitigating, the
effects of the virus, if any, on that portion of Zale's information technology
environment.

         (c) Training of Employees. ACS personnel will be provided with

         (d) Disabling Codes. ACS covenants that it will not, without Zale's
consent, knowingly insert, or knowingly allow to be inserted, into the software
used to provide the Services any code or other device that is designed to
disable, damage, erase, delay, bypass Zale security or otherwise shut down all
or any portion of the Services or the Equipment, software or data used in
providing the Services.



SECTION 14.3      DISCLAIMER

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR

obligations with respect to Confidential Information; (vi) indemnitor's failure

Party Contracts, Equipment leases prior to the Effective Date (in the case of
Zale) or thereafter (in the case of ACS) to the extent such party has
operational or financial responsibility therefore; (vii) liability accruing in
connection with taxes, together with interest and penalties, that are the
responsibility of such party hereunder; and (viii) claims initiated by
Affiliates, employees, agents and contractors of a party or its Affiliates, or
other persons or entities asserting rights under this Agreement to the extent
such claims are based on the indemnitor's act or omission. Zale will indemnify,
defend and hold harmless ACS, its Affiliates and its officers, directors,
employees, agents, successors and assigns, from and against all Losses arising
from, in connection with or relating to, third party allegations for any of the
following: (i) any claims by any Zale employees who may be transferred to ACS
under this Agreement for any action or inaction of Zale prior to such transfer

                                       24




SECTION 15.2      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION

         Each party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party,
the other party's Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, successors and assigns, from and against all Losses arising
from and to the extent that the Zale Proprietary Software, in the case of Zale,
and the ACS Proprietary Software in the case of ACS, or the Confidential
Information provided by the indemnitor, its affiliates or any party thereof or
related thereto, (a) infringes a copyright protected under applicable law, (b)
infringes a patent existing under applicable law, (c) constitutes an unlawful
disclosure, use or misappropriation of another party's trade secret, or (d)
otherwise infringes upon a third party's intellectual property rights. If any
Party's Proprietary Software or Confidential Information becomes the subject of
a claim under this Section, or in the indemnitor's opinion is likely to become
the subject of such a claim, then the indemnitor may, at its option, (a) modify
the Proprietary Software or Confidential Information to make it non-infringing
or otherwise cure any claimed misuse, provided such modification does not
adversely affect the functionality of the Proprietary Software or Confidential
Information, or (b) procure for the indemnitee the right to continue using the
Proprietary Software or Confidential Information, or (c) replace the Proprietary
Software with substantially equivalent Software that is non-infringing or that
is free of claimed misuse. Any costs associated with implementing any of the
above alternatives will be borne by the indemnitor. With respect to any Software
provided or developed by a party pursuant to this Agreement, such party will
have no liability to the other party under this Agreement (a) to the extent that
any claim of infringement is based upon the use of the Software in connection or
in combination with equipment, devices or Software not supplied by that party or
used in a manner for which the Software was not designed, (b) for infringements
that arise as a result of specifications presented by the other party, (c) to
the extent that any claim of infringement is based upon the maintenance,
modifications, updates, enhancements and improvements to the Software made by
any party other than the indemnitor; and (d) for infringements that arise as a
result of the failure of the indemnitee to use corrections or modifications
provided by the indemnitor offering equivalent features and functionality.

SECTION 15.3      INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES

         (a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of any written claim or
notice of any action giving rise to a claim for indemnification by the
indemnitee, the indemnitee will so notify the indemnitor and will provide copies
of such claim or any documents relating to the action. No failure to so notify
an indemnitor will relieve the indemnitor of its obligations under this Master
Agreement except to the extent that the failure or delay is prejudicial. Within
thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice, but in any event no
later than ten (10) days before the deadline for any responsive pleading, the
indemnitor will notify the indemnitee in writing (a "Notice of Assumption of
Defense") if the indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense and
settlement of such claim or action.

         (b) If the indemnitor delivers a Notice of Assumption of Defense with
respect to a claim within the required period, the indemnitor will have sole
control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, however, that
(i) the indemnitee will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim
and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim
and (ii) the indemnitor will obtain the prior written approval of the indemnitee
before entering into any settlement of such claim incurring liability or an
admission of liability on the part of the indemnitee, or ceasing to defend
against such claim. After the indemnitor has delivered a timely Notice of
Assumption of Defense relating to any claim, the indemnitor will not be liable
to the indemnitee for any legal expenses incurred by such indemnitee in
connection with the defense of such claim; provided, that the indemnitor will
pay for separate counsel for the indemnitee to the extent that conflicts or
potential conflicts of interest between the Parties so require. In addition, the
indemnitor will not be required to indemnify the indemnitee for any amount paid
by such indemnitee in the settlement of any claim for which the indemnitor has
delivered a timely Notice of Assumption of Defense if such amount was agreed to
without

                                       25



prior written consent of the indemnitor, which will not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed in the case of monetary claims. An indemnitor may withhold consent to
settlement of claims of infringement affecting its proprietary rights in its
reasonable discretion. The parties shall cooperate with each other with respect
to any claim subject to indemnification at the expense of the indemnitor.

         (c) If the indemnitor does not deliver a Notice of Assumption of
Defense relating to a claim within the required notice period or ceases to
defend against such claim, the indemnitee will have the right to defend the
claim in such a manner as it may deem appropriate, at the sole cost and expense
of the indemnitor. The indemnitor will promptly reimburse the indemnitee for all
such costs and expenses upon written request therefor.

         (d) In the event that an indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify an
indemnitee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the indemnitor shall,
upon payment of such indemnity in full, be subrogated to all rights of the
indemnitee with respect to the claims to which such indemnification relates.


                     SECTION 16 -- LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

SECTION 16.1      LIMIT ON TYPES OF DAMAGES RECOVERABLE

         (a) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN CLAUSE (b) BELOW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE
LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF
THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF SUCH
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

         (b) The above stated limitation will not apply with respect to any
claims arising out of or relating to (i) the willful or fraudulent misconduct of
a party, its employees, contractors or agents, (ii) a breach of a party's
obligations related to Confidential Information or any allegation of violation
of the United States Government export laws and regulations, as well as those of
any country in which Services are being provided under this Agreement, whether
prior to the Effective Date or at any time during the Term, Term Extension
Period, and Termination Assistance Period, caused by either Party or its
Affiliates, or any officer, director, employee, agent, successor, or assigns of
either Party or its Affiliates, (iii) an indemnitor's obligation to pay such
damages to the extent they are awarded by a court, and (iv) any Charges owed to
ACS or Service Level Credits or other amounts owed to Zale under this Agreement.

SECTION 16.2      LIMIT ON AMOUNT OF DIRECT DAMAGES RECOVERABLE

         Each party's cumulative liability to the other for any and all actions,
whether in contract or in tort, will not exceed an amount equal to the total
Charges payable to ACS for the Services provided for the twelve (12) months
immediately preceding the month in which the event giving rise to the liability
occurred (or, if the event giving rise to the liability occurs during the first
twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, the total Charges estimated to be
payable to ACS for such first twelve (12) months). This limitation will not
apply to Losses attributable to claims by or related to (i) an indemnitee
pursuant to Section 15 (Indemnification), (ii) the willful or fraudulent
misconduct of a party, its employees, contractors or agents, or (iii) a breach
of a party's obligations related to Confidential Information. Charges and other
fees and expenses due to ACS pursuant to this Master Agreement shall not be
considered damages for purposes of this Section 16.2.

SECTION 16.3      FORCE MAJEURE


                                       26



         (a) Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations under this Master Agreement to the extent such
failure is caused, directly or indirectly, without fault by such party, by:
fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God; third party labor
disruptions or strikes; acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders,
rebellions or revolutions, quarantines, embargoes and other similar governmental
or third party action; or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such
party. Events meeting the criteria set forth above are referred to collectively
as "Force Majeure Events."

         (b) Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing
party will be excused from any further performance or observance of the affected
obligations for as long as such circumstances prevail and such party continues
to attempt to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever
extent reasonably possible without delay. Any party so delayed in its
performance will immediately notify the other by telephone or by the most timely
means otherwise available (to be confirmed in writing within three (3) Business
Days of the inception of such delay) and describe in reasonable detail the
circumstances causing such delay.

         (c) If a Force Majeure Event causes a material failure or delay in the
performance of any Services for more than 24 hours, Zale may, at its option,
procure such Services from an alternate source until ACS is again able to
reasonably demonstrate to Zale that it is able to provide such Services. All
payments to be made by Zale to ACS for the affected Services for such period
will be abated and ACS will not be entitled to any additional payments as a
result of the Force Majeure Event.

SECTION 16.4      ACTIONS OF OTHER PARTY

         Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations under this Master Agreement if and to the extent
such failure or delay is caused by the actions or omissions of the other party
or its employees, agents or contractors or breaches of this Master Agreement by
the other party provided that the party which is unable to perform has provided
the other party with reasonable notice of such non-performance and has used
commercially reasonable efforts to perform notwithstanding the actions,
omissions or breaches of the other party.


                            SECTION 17 -- TERMINATION

SECTION 17.1      TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

         (a) Zale may terminate this Agreement, or one or more categories of
Services, for cause:

                  (i) for a material breach of the agreed Services by ACS that
is not cured by ACS within thirty (30) days of the date on which Zale provides
written notice of such breach, in accordance with Section 19.7; or

                  (ii) for a material breach of the agreed Services by ACS or
for failure by ACS to meet the Service Levels or fulfill any other obligation
under this Agreement that results in Zale being unable to conduct its normal and
customary business functions and such condition persists for 48 hours (24 hours
during a Zale Freeze Period) and, further, ACS does not achieve recovery within
10 days of notice by Zale (4 days during a Zale Freeze Period). Notwithstanding
the termination for cause provision, ACS agrees that within three days following
such notice by Zale (24 hours during a Zale Freeze Period), ACS will cooperate
with, and reimburse Zale for all expenses reasonably related to third party
assistance in repairing or reinstating the affected Services or to provide
alternate mechanisms to support Zale in conducting its business until recovery
is achieved and transition back to the Services can be reasonably achieved. Such
efforts by ACS in no way relieve ACS of its recovery obligations nor do they
impact in


                                       27



any way Zale's right to terminate the Agreement for cause as defined herein.
Following recovery, ACS will cure the cause of its failure to provide the
Services as soon as reasonably possible using industry best practices.

         (b) Zale will exercise its termination option by delivering to ACS
written notice of such termination, identifying the scope of the termination and
the termination date.

         (c) ACS may terminate this Agreement, or one or more categories of
services, if Zale fails to pay undisputed amounts (including, without
limitation, amounts determined pursuant to Section 18 (Dispute Resolution) to be
owing to ACS) within 45 days of when they become due, and Zale fails to cure
such failure within fifteen (15) business days after receipt from ACS of written
notice from ACS.

SECTION 17.2      TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE

         (a) Zale may terminate for convenience this Master Agreement upon no
less than one hundred eighty (180) days notice. In connection with any such
termination, Zale will be liable to ACS for the Charges and other amounts
incurred through the date of termination plus the termination fees described in
Schedule B.

         (b) If a purported termination for cause by Zale under Section 17.1
(Termination for Cause) is determined pursuant to Section 18 (Dispute
Resolution) not to be a proper termination for cause, such termination will be
deemed a Termination for Convenience subject to this Section.

SECTION 17.3      TERMINATION UPON ACS CHANGE OF CONTROL

         In the event of a change in Control of ACS (or that portion of ACS
providing all or any material portion of the Services under this Agreement) or
the Entity that Controls ACS (if any), where such control is acquired, directly
or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or all
or substantially all of the assets of ACS (or that portion of ACS providing all
or any material portion of the Services under this Agreement) are acquired by
any entity, or ACS (or that portion of ACS providing all or any material portion
of the Services under this Agreement) is merged with or into another entity to
form a new entity, then at any time within twelve (12) months after the last to
occur of such events, Zale may at its option terminate the Term by giving ACS at
least one hundred eighty (180) days prior notice and designating a date upon
which such termination shall be effective. If Zale elects to terminate on this
basis, Zale shall pay the Charges and other amounts incurred through the date of
termination plus eighty percent (80%) of the applicable Termination for
Convenience fee as set forth in Schedule B.

SECTION 17.4      EFFECT OF TERMINATION

         Termination of this Master Agreement for any reason under this Section
will not affect (i) any liabilities or obligations of either party arising
before such termination or out of the events causing such termination, or (ii)
any damages or other remedies to which a party may be entitled under this Master
Agreement, at law or in equity, arising from any breaches of such liabilities or
obligations.

SECTION 17.5      TERMINATION/EXPIRATION ASSISTANCE

         Commencing six (6) months before the expiration of the Term or, if
applicable, upon delivery of a termination notice by Zale or ACS pursuant to
Section 17 (Termination), and continuing until the expiration of the Term or, if
applicable, the termination date and for twelve (12) months thereafter, ACS will
provide to Zale or Zale's designee the assistance reasonably requested by Zale
to enable the Services to continue without interruption and to facilitate the
orderly transfer of the Services to Zale or its

                                       28




designee. The termination assistance will be defined and mutually agreed by the
parties in writing, and Zale will pay for the termination assistance services in
accordance with the rate structure defined in Schedule B, in addition to any
one-time charges that may be imposed by any vendor or provider of software,
services, or other under a Third Party Contract. If termination is pursuant to
Section 17.1(c) (non-payment), Zale shall pay the estimated monthly Charges
associated with the termination assistance services in advance, subject to
monthly adjustments in order to reconcile estimated and actual Charges. As a
part of the termination assistance service, ACS shall provide Zale with complete
copies of all standards, manuals and procedures developed in accordance with
Section 3.3 of Schedule A, and ACS hereby grants Zale a non-exclusive, fully
paid-up, perpetual, and worldwide license to use such standards, manuals and
procedures for Zale's internal business use, including the right to modify any
of such standards, manuals and procedures, and hereby assigns to Zale all its
right, title and interest in any customized portion of any such standards,
manuals or procedures.

SECTION 17.6      THIRD PARTY CONTRACTS

         Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, ACS will, at
Zale's request and to the extent permitted by the applicable Third Party Service
Contract or Equipment lease and any applicable Third Party Consent, obtained at
the expense of Zale, (i) assign to Zale or its designee any Third Party Service
Contracts and Equipment leases and (ii) sell, at fair market value, the ACS
owned Equipment, used to provide Services to Zale on a dedicated basis. ACS will
use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Zale or its designee to obtain
required licenses to Third Party Software. In the case of Zale's Termination for
Convenience, or ACS' Termination for Cause, Zale shall reimburse ACS for any
prepayment made by ACS on Third Party Service Contracts or Equipment leases and
attributable to the period after any assignment, provided that such prepayments
do not exceed ten percent of the Termination for Convenience Fee that would be
payable in the month the Agreement is terminated.

SECTION 17.7      SUNSET MANAGEMENT

         During the last 90 days of ACS' operation of the Services under this
Agreement whether the Agreement is ending by termination or expiration, and
subject to Section 17.4, ACS shall perform according to the terms of this
Agreement and, in addition, shall comply with the terms of this Section.

              (a) ACS will not transfer any ACS Employees or subcontractors, at
the time assigned to work on Zale Services, to other assignments without
agreement from Zale which shall not be unreasonably withheld if ACS demonstrates
such transfer would not be to the detriment of Zale.

              (b) ACS will continue to issue Service Level Credits for failure
to meet the Service Levels defined in Schedule C.

              (c) ACS will cooperate with Zale for the orderly transition of
Software and the untangling of proprietary technology.

              (d) ACS will return Zale's materials in an orderly fashion.

              (e) ACS will cooperate with Zale and/or any third party designated
for conversion of all Services or any of them.

                                       29



              (f) With regard to the Software identified in Schedule F-5 as
owned/licensed by Zale, ACS will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that software licenses assigned to ACS by Zale are eligible for transfer
back to Zale or reassigned as Zale designates.

              (g) ACS will use commercially reasonable efforts to support Zale's
transition and will, in any event, comply with the Termination/Expiration
Assistance services defined in Schedule A.


                        SECTION 18 -- DISPUTE RESOLUTION

SECTION 18.1      GENERAL

         Any dispute or controversy between the parties with respect to the
interpretation or application of any provision of this Master Agreement or the
performance by ACS or Zale of their respective obligations hereunder will be
resolved as provided in this Section.

SECTION 18.2      INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         The Parties may, by mutual agreement, attempt to resolve their dispute
informally in the following manner:

         (a) Either party will submit the dispute to one (1) of their respective
executives who has been chosen by that party to attempt to resolve such dispute,
who will meet as often as the parties reasonably deem necessary to gather and
analyze any information relevant to the resolution of the dispute. The
applicable executives will negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the
dispute.

         (b) During the course of negotiations, all reasonable requests made by
one party to the other for non-privileged information, reasonably related to the
dispute, will be honored in order that each of the parties may be fully advised
of the other's position.

         (c) Proposals and information exchanged during the informal proceedings
described in this Section between the parties will be privileged, confidential
and without prejudice to a party's legal position in any formal proceedings. All
such proposals and information, as well as any conduct during such proceedings,
will be considered settlement discussions and proposals, and will be
inadmissible in any subsequent proceedings.

SECTION 18.3      ARBITRATION

         (a) Except as set forth in clause (b) below, any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to this Master Agreement, or any alleged breach
hereof, including any controversy regarding the arbitrability of any dispute,
will be settled at the request of either party by binding arbitration in Dallas,
Texas, before and in accordance with the then existing Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Rules"). In any dispute in
which the amount in controversy is less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000), there will be one (1) arbitrator agreed to by the parties or, if the
parties are unable to agree within fifteen (15) days after demand for
arbitration is made, selected in accordance with the Rules. In all other cases
there will be three (3) arbitrators, one (1) of whom will be selected by Zale
within fifteen (15) days after demand for arbitration is made, one (1) of whom
will be selected by ACS within fifteen (15) days after demand for arbitration is
made, and one (1) of whom will be selected by the two party-appointed
arbitrators within fifteen (15) days after their selection. If one or

                                       30



more arbitrator(s) is not selected within the time period stated in the
preceding sentence, such arbitrator(s) will be selected pursuant to the Rules.
Any arbitrator(s) proposed by the American Arbitration Association will have at
least five (5) years of experience in complex, commercial technology engagements
in the area that is generally the same as the technology issue that is the
subject of the dispute. Each party will pay its own attorneys' fees and one-half
( 1/2) of the other arbitration costs, subject to final apportionment by the
arbitrators. The arbitrators will apply the law set forth in this Agreement to
govern this Master Agreement and will have the power to award any remedy
available at law or in equity; provided, however, that the arbitrators will have
no power to amend this Master Agreement or any Schedule. Any award rendered
pursuant to such arbitration will be final and binding on the parties, and
judgment on such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

         (b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, either party may request a court
of competent jurisdiction to grant provisional injunctive relief to such party
until an arbitrator can render an award on the matter in question and such award
can be confirmed by a court having jurisdiction thereof.

SECTION 18.4      CONTINUED PERFORMANCE

         Both parties will continue performing their respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Master Agreement while any dispute is being resolved
in accordance with this Section, unless and until such obligations are
terminated or expire in accordance with the provisions of this Master Agreement.

SECTION 18.5      APPLICABLE LAW

         All questions concerning the validity, interpretation and performance
of this Master Agreement and will be governed by and decided in accordance with
the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to any choice of law
provisions.

SECTION 18.6      JURISDICTION AND VENUE

         The parties hereby submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of
any state or federal court located in Dallas, Texas, and irrevocably agree that
all actions or proceedings relating to this Master Agreement, other than any
action or proceeding required by this Section to be submitted to arbitration,
will be litigated in such courts, and each of the parties waives any objection
which it may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct
of any such action or proceeding in such court.

SECTION 18.7      CHARGES AND COSTS

         In any legal action, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover,
in addition to its damages (subject to limitations stated elsewhere in this
Master Agreement), its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and
other ordinary and necessary costs of litigation, as determined by the
arbitrators or court. Such costs include, without limitation, costs of any legal
proceedings brought to enforce a judgment or decree.

SECTION 18.8      EQUITABLE REMEDIES

         The Parties agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach
of any provision of this Master Agreement concerning (i) Confidential
Information, (ii) intellectual property rights or (iii) other matters for which
equitable rights may be granted, money damages would be an inadequate remedy.
Accordingly, such provisions may be enforced by the preliminary or permanent,
mandatory or prohibitory injunction or other order of a court of competent
jurisdiction.


                                       31



SECTION 18.9      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

         All remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in
addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either party at
law, in equity or otherwise. The election by a party of any remedy provided for
in this Agreement or otherwise available to such party shall not preclude such
party from pursuing any other remedies available to such party at law, in
equity, by contract or otherwise.


                           SECTION 19 -- MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 19.1      BINDING NATURE AND ASSIGNMENT

         Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this
Master Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, provided
that such consent is not unreasonably withheld. No assignment by a party will
relieve such party of its rights and obligations under this Master Agreement.
Subject to the foregoing, this Master Agreement will be binding on the Parties
and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 19.2      EXPENSES

         In this Master Agreement and each applicable Schedule, unless otherwise
specifically provided, all costs and expenses (including the fees and
disbursements of legal counsel) incurred in connection with this Master
Agreement, and the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Master
Agreement or the applicable Schedules will be paid by the party incurring such
expenses.

SECTION 19.3      AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

         No supplement, modification, amendment or waiver of this Master
Agreement or any Schedule will be binding unless executed in writing by the
party against whom enforcement of such supplement, modification, amendment or
waiver is sought. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Master Agreement or
any Schedule will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not
similar) nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise
expressly provided.

SECTION 19.4      FURTHER ASSURANCES; CONSENTS AND APPROVALS

         Each party will provide such further documents or instruments or
perform such further acts as required by the other party as may be reasonably
necessary or desirable to give effect to this Agreement and to carry out its
provisions. Whenever this Master Agreement or any Schedule requires or
contemplates any action, consent or approval, such party will act reasonably and
in good faith and, unless the Agreement expressly allows exercise of a party's
sole discretion, will not unreasonably withhold or delay such action, consent or
approval.

SECTION 19.5      SEVERABILITY

         Any provision in this Master Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction, and such provision shall be deemed to be
restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties
in accordance with applicable law.

                                       32



SECTION 19.6      ENTIRE AGREEMENT

twenty years.

SECTION 19.9      INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

         ACS will perform its obligations under this Master Agreement as an

authorized in this Master Agreement.


                                       33



SECTION 19.10     NON-SOLICITATION

         During the Term and for one year thereafter, without the employing
party's prior written consent, neither party nor any of its Affiliates shall
actively solicit for employment any individual who is employed, or any
individual who was employed by the other party or any of its Affiliates and who
was in any way related to the provision of Services. Notwithstanding the above,
ACS agrees that Zale may solicit and hire or otherwise engage upon the
termination or expiration of the Agreement any employee that is primarily
dedicated to the provision of the Services and agrees to cooperate with such
efforts and agrees not to enforce any employment or non-competition agreement
with such employee. Notwithstanding the above, neither the publication of
classified advertisements in newspapers, periodicals, internet bulletin boards,
nor other publications of general availability or circulation nor the
consideration and hiring of persons responding to such advertisements shall be
deemed a breach of this provision.

SECTION 19.11     THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES

implied, is intended to confer rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or
liabilities on any third party other than the parties or their respective
successors or permitted assigns.

SECTION 19.12     COUNTERPARTS

be under no obligation to agree to such a change.

SECTION 19.14     ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

         The parties each acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this
Agreement have been the subject of active and complete negotiations, and that
such terms and conditions should not be construed in favor of or against any
party by reason of the extent to which any party or its professional advisors
participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

                         SECTION 1 -- MAINFRAME SERVICES

SECTION 1.1       MAINFRAME SERVICE OVERVIEW

         ACS will manage the mainframe systems at the ACS Facility to deliver
the operational efficiency and business continuity required to meet Zale's
business requirements. ACS will architect, engineer, implement and operate the
agreed-to mainframe systems platforms that include, at a minimum, OS/390, z/OS
(or its successors) and UNIX. Mainframe Services will be provided consistent
with the Operations Support Services detailed in this Schedule A. Key aspects of
mainframe operations support include production control, scheduling, console
operations, change management, monitoring, problem management, notification and
escalation procedures for all types of events. Services include delivery of
tape, print or other output media support. Contingency resources will be
available in response to all situations that might occur related to disruption

              between the ACS facilities and the Zale General Office to
              facilitate the relocation of Zale midrange servers



                                       16

              to the ACS Dallas data center and to provide increased throughput
              for ongoing operations. These circuits may be configured as Metro
              point-to-point circuits or as part of a SONET fiber ring with
              provides much greater growth capacity.

         2)   ACS, at its expense, will provide and implement a number of
              hardware enhancements in its Dallas data center to facilitate
              expansion of the LAN required to support the transitioned server
              assets. There enhancements include high volume, redundant content
              switches for load balancing, firewall enhancements, and the
              routers, switches and other infrastructure build-out required to
              support the additional bandwidth between the sites.

         3)   As a part of the Transition Plan, certain network assets owned and
              maintained Zale are designated to be relocated to the Dallas data
              center, redeployed to alternate use within the Zale network, or
              decommissioned and returned to Zale for final disposition. ACS

         4.6.5    Network Asset Ownership -- From time to time, Zale may request
                  ACS to purchase or otherwise assume, at mutually agreed prices
                  and fee adjustments, some or all of the wide area network
                  equipment then owned or leased by Zale. All other acquisitions
                  required to support the network will be made by ACS with the
                  costs incorporated in charges made to Zale for new or expanded
                  services that require the equipment. Zale will continue to own
                  voice communications equipment from the digital switch inward.

         4.6.6    Network Capacity Management. -- ACS will monitor and project
                  network utilization, as well as work with Zale to identify
                  changes in business activity that may impact the data network
                  so as to ensure adequate capacity to meet business needs while
                  controlling costs.

         4.6.7    Network Backup Provisions -- ACS will provide backup
                  provisions consisting of either standby dedicated capacity via
                  alternate routing or high performance switched circuit backup
                  such that there are no single points of failure in the Zale
                  Wide Area Network, except as specifically agreed by Zale. In

                  that ACS acquire data telecommunications network services from
                  Zale's vendor of choice to satisfy minimum procurement
                  agreements that Zale may have or will enter into, however Zale
                  will be responsible for incremental costs associated with such
                  directive, providing that ACS demonstrates it would incur
                  lower charges from an alternative major carrier (top five by
                  network services-related revenue). ACS will not commit or
                  utilize Zale data network expenditures to meet its own third
                  party purchase or procurement level agreements without written
                  permission of Zale.

         4.6.9    Network Administration/Accounting -- ACS will provide the

                  processes leading to payment of actual charges. ACS will
                  conduct periodic (at least twice per year) assessments/audits
                  of bills to ensure proper charges are being paid and will
                  provide written results to Zale. Zale expects to also audit
                  the bill payment process on a random basis, and ACS will
                  cooperate with any such audits. After second year, ACS may
                  reasonably charge for its direct cost of participation in such
                  audits beyond two audits per year, except as may be warranted
                  by documented deficiencies in immediately prior audits.

         4.6.10   Problem and change management systems -- In performing all of
                  the activities in the data and voice network area, ACS will

                  maintain devices, including proxy servers, to filter Internet
                  content. Zale will retain the right to establish, and change
                  from time to time, settings and parameters to enforce its
                  content filtering policies. ACS is not responsible for
                  filtering what may be deemed "inappropriate" or
                  "objectionable" content from the Internet. ACS will, as
                  requested, implement Web Content management software and
                  hardware, as provided by Zale.

                  SMTP gateway for the purpose of exchanging mail between the
                  Zale and the ACS mail handling systems.

         4.7.6    Internet Compliance -- Zale will comply with established
                  etiquette with regard to activities that may jeopardize ACS'
                  ability to maintain its Internet connectivity to its service
                  provider. Spamming or indiscriminate unsolicited bulk mail is
                  specifically forbidden, however, targeted email advertising
                  campaigns are not forbidden.

         4.7.7    DNS Administration -- ACS will not be responsible for, and
                  will not initiate administrative or ownership registration
                  updates for any Zale owned web domains. ACS is named and is
                  responsible as the technical contact with Network Solutions
                  and UUNET, with associated rights and privileges for the Zale
                  owned domains. Additionally, ACS is responsible for DNS server
                  maintenance or other deployment activities required for access
                  to Zale domains. Zale retains ownership, administrative and
                  financial responsibility for the domains and will work with
                  registration authorities as required to maintain and update
                  the domains.

                                       19


         4.7.8    Security -- ACS will provide network security to and from the
                  Internet. This service includes firewall and intrusion
                  detection services, not less than those defined in the ACS IT
                  Security Policies, for existing Internet access maintained by
                  ACS. ACS will notify Zale in writing within five business days
                  of any changes to the ACS IT Security Policy that have a
                  material effect on Zale operations. Joint ACS and Zale
                  approval is required to modify the established security
                  provisions, except in cases of immediate threat to the
                  environment. ACS may temporarily modify, but not lessen,
                  security rules and provisions to address such a threat.

         4.7.9    System Monitoring -- ACS will provide and utilize monitoring
                  tools, such as Candle Command Center, that routinely test the
                  system for availability and will generate a notification to
                  ACS and Zale of any failures or exceptions.


                        SECTION 5 -- TRANSITION SERVICES

SECTION 5.1       TRANSITION PLAN

         ACS and Zale will execute a first year plan ("Transition Plan") that
transitions hardware, software, network resources, enterprise equipment,
personnel, financial responsibilities and processes to a new operating model.
Schedule D to the Agreement details the Transition Services and provides the
Transition Plan, to be managed by ACS. In this plan, the following will be
accomplished:

         1)       ACS will acquire, build out and upgrade Zale's data
                  communications network to support relocation of most of Zale's
                  midrange processing environment to the ACS data center in
                  Dallas.

         2)       ACS will, in a phased approach, and with Zale's cooperation
                  and support, relocate Zale's midrange processing environment
                  from Zale's Systems & Network Command Center ("SNCC") located
                  on the premises of Zale's General Office to the ACS data
                  center in Dallas using proven methodologies and tools, while
                  maintaining a highly available operating environment. As a
                  part of the Transition Plan, ACS will acquire selected Zale
                  assets as a part of technology refreshment for key assets
                  (defined in Schedule F-1). ACS will also acquire, install, and
                  maintain significant new assets including UNIX processors,
                  Intel-based processors and storage systems, for technology
                  upgrade and capacity expansion. Finally, ACS will migrate
                  certain processing functions, such as backups and tape media,
                  to existing leveraged ACS assets.

         3)       Transition ACS staff responsibilities during the Transition
                  Period to the ACS leveraged personnel model, which includes
                  7x24 hour support and global resource utilization.

SECTION 5.2       ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

          Each Party will have specific responsibilities required for timely
completion of the Transition Plan. These responsibilities will be defined as an
initial planning responsibility for both parties, and will be mutually agreed.
Such responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, coordination of Zale
application development resources and schedules with Plan milestones, transfer
of assets and information required for completion of the phased migration,
coordination with ACS for transfer of software licenses and third party
agreements, testing and acceptance of each new environment as transition
milestones are reached, review and approval of the environment design for
performance, security, integration with applications and third party interfaces,
and final approval and oversight of the Transition Plan.


                                       20


SECTION 5.3       PROJECT MANAGEMENT

         ACS will use proven project management resources and methodologies to
define, manage, control, track and report on Transition Services
responsibilities and accomplishments. ACS, with Zale's review and approval, will
define and document activities, milestones and quality metrics to be performed
as a part of the Transition Plan. To the extent that there is a conflict between
the Transition Plan and other schedules, the provisions of the Transition Plan
will control. ACS will use best efforts to comply with the transition schedule,
as dictated by changing business requirements of both Zale and ACS.

SECTION 5.4       EXTENSION

         If Zale requires a significant extension of the Transition Plan
schedule due to the failure of Zale to fulfill its responsibilities under the
Transition Plan or for other business reasons not related to the Transition
itself, any reasonable, documented, incremental out-of-pocket costs incurred by
ACS (including allocable salaries and travel expenses) will be reimbursed by
Zale. If the extension is due to the activities of both ACS and Zale's failure
to fulfill its responsibilities under the Transition Plan, the parties will
share the collective reasonable, documented, incremental out-of-pocket costs
(including allocable salaries and travel expenses) in proportion to their
responsibility for the delay.

                         SECTION 1 -- MAINFRAME CHARGES

SECTION 1.1       CPU CHARGES

         The unit of billing for CPU resources will be an IBM 3090-200
equivalent CPU hour. Beginning on the Effective Date, Zale will be billed
monthly for CPU resources actually consumed at a rate of $66 per IBM 3090-200
CPU hour for the first two years of the Agreement, increasing to $125 per hour
upon ACS' completion of the mainframe upgrade planned after year two of the
Agreement. Zale will be billed for all TCB and SRB CPU time consumed by Zale
test or production processing tasks, including all Zale batch jobs, data file
backups, TSO sessions, on-line subsystems including CICS, IMS and DB2, and all
other Zale-specific processing. Zale will not be billed for CPU resources
consumed by the MVS operating system, including the JES2 and VTAM subsystems,
nor for the CPU resource consumed by operating system maintenance tasks, service
level reporting, system performance monitoring external to Zale's application
subsystems, or for CPU resources consumed by ACS' Zale billing system. The
mainframe charges for CPU, DASD, Tape and VTS will be itemized in conjunction
with each monthly invoice, with detailed job information provided on a monthly
CD-ROM for Zale's further review.

SECTION 1.2       DASD CHARGES

         The unit of billing for DASD is an allocated gigabyte (GB) of storage
capacity. The monthly unit cost per GB is $38 and the unit of allocation is the
DASD spindle. Zale will be charged for all test or production (non-system
related) DASD space which is allocated to Zale or which is dedicated to Zale's
use (by Zale request or application/application processing requirement) and
unavailable for re-allocation to ACS for other purposes.

SECTION 1.3       TAPE MOUNT AND STORAGE CHARGES

         Tape Charges are determined by the number of monthly mounts and slots.
The monthly unit charge for both mounts and slots will be $0.60. This charge
will apply to both cartridge and reel tapes. System maintenance and support
mounts initiated by ACS are not chargeable.

SECTION 1.4       VIRTUAL TAPE SYSTEM (VTS) CHARGES

         ACS will install a new Virtual Tape System during the first year of the
Agreement, as described in Schedule D -- Transition Services. The objective is
to convert existing tape storage media to the VTS, effectively replacing the
above Tape Mount and Storage Charges. Although used primarily for storage of
mainframe data, the VTS supports some midrange requirements. The monthly unit
charge for the VTS will be $1.00 per logical volume, which is defined as the
equivalent of a 36-track tape. The total VTS volumes documented at the time of
the Effective Date are approximately 20,000.

                 SECTION 12 -- TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE FEES

         Upon termination of this Agreement for convenience in accordance with
the provisions of Section 17 of this Agreement, Zale shall pay to ACS the
following amounts:

         o   All charges for Services accrued through the termination date less
             any Service Level Credits due Zale;
         o   All termination related charges and services described in Section
             17 of this Agreement, including equipment, leases, licenses or
             other discontinuation or redeployment costs;
         o   A Termination for Convenience Fee indicated below, which will be
             prorated over the Term to determine the actual amount payable by
             Zale in the month of termination:

             o  End of Contract Month 12 -- $4,000,000
             o  End of Contract Month 24 -- $3,500,000
             o  End of Contract Month 36 -- $3,000,000
             o  End of Contract Month 48 -- $2,500,000



                                       8


             o  End of Contract Month 60 -- $2,000,000
             o  End of Contract Month 72 -- $1,500,000
             o  End of Contract Month 84 -- 0

         Upon Termination for Convenience, Zale may exercise any or all of the
options below that are applicable to paying or offsetting the Termination for
Convenience Fee:

         o   Upon Termination for Convenience in Month 37 or later, payment of
             the Termination for Convenience Fee entitles Zale to assume
             ownership of or lease obligations for all named assets procured
             exclusively for Zale in the first year of the Agreement, as defined
             in Schedule D, provided that Zale pays any taxes and any fees
             imposed by the manufacturer for the ongoing licensing, use and
             maintenance of the assets.

         o   Upon Termination for Convenience at any time during the Term, Zale
             may purchase from ACS at net book value any named assets that ACS
             has acquired exclusively for Zale, as defined in Schedule D and in
             Schedule A, Section 3.2, and the dollar amount Zale pays to
             purchase the assets will reduce (dollar for dollar) the amount
             payable by Zale as a Termination for Convenience Fee. The
             applicable Wintel assets are projected to be depreciated over 48
             months and the HP-UX assets are projected to be leased on a 48
             month term. All purchases are subject to payment by Zale of any
             taxes and any fees imposed by the manufacturer for the ongoing
             licensing, use and maintenance of the assets.

         o   Upon Termination for Convenience at any time during the Term, ACS
             will, as requested by Zale, use commercially reasonable efforts to
             broker the sale of any named assets acquired exclusively for Zale,
             as defined in Schedule D and in Schedule A, Section 3.2, and the
             dollar amount of the proceeds minus a five percent brokerage fee
             will reduce (dollar for dollar) the amount payable by Zale as a
             Termination for Convenience Fee.

         o   Upon Termination for Convenience at any time during the Term, ACS
             will, as requested by Zale, use commercially reasonable efforts to
             redeploy within ACS any named assets acquired exclusively for Zale,
             as defined in Schedule D and in Schedule A, Section 3.2, and the
             net book value of the redeployed assets will reduce (dollar for
             dollar) the amount payable by Zale as a Termination for Convenience
             Fee.

         (m)      "Service Level Credit Allocation" -- shall have the meaning
                  set forth in Section 1.4.

                                       3





SECTION 1.2       GENERAL POLICIES

         (a)      Portability -- Service Levels, unless modified in this
                  Schedule, follow a Zale application system when and if it
                  changes technology platforms, subject to Section 1.3.3
                  "Initial Period" below.

         (b)      Calculations -- Monthly calculations are based on calendar
                  month.

         (c)      Application Standards -- Zale will maintain its application
                  systems consistent with Zale standards for system maintenance,
                  change, and change management. Zale believes that its
                  standards are consistent with the ACS production
                  classification and will not unreasonably modify its standards
                  in a manner that would be less compatible with ACS standards.

         (d)      Recalls -- For all types of user service calls, a recall
                  required to complete/repair an incomplete or incorrect/partial
                  fix is to be considered a re-opening of the ticket with
                  previously Elapsed Times being included in time measurements
                  for service level purposes.

SECTION 1.3       CRITICAL SERVICE LEVELS

         1.3.1    A Required Service Level and an Expected Service Level are
                  associated with each Critical Service. ACS shall perform the
                  Services in accordance with each Expected Service Level. In
                  the event that ACS fails to achieve a Required Service Level
                  in any given month, ACS shall pay Zale a Service Level Credit
                  calculated in accordance with Section 1.4. The Required
                  Service Levels and Expected Service Levels associated with
                  each Critical Service Level are set forth in Section 2.

         1.3.2    Additions, Modifications and Deletions of Critical Service
                  Levels -- Zale may add, modify or delete Critical Service
                  Levels as follows

                  a.  Additions -- Zale may add Critical Service Levels by
                      sending notice to ACS at least sixty (60) days prior to
                      the date that such additions to Critical Service Levels
                      are to be effective, provided that Zale may send such a
                      notice (which notice may contain multiple changes) not
                      more than once each calendar quarter. The sum total of the
                      Service Level Credit Allocations percentages for new and
                      existing Critical Service Levels identified in Section 2
                      will be adjusted as necessary to equal 100%. The Parties
                      shall agree upon the Expected Service Level and the
                      Required Service Level for each Critical Service Level. In
                      the event that the Parties are unable to reach agreement
                      upon such Service Levels, such Service Levels shall be
                      established in one of the following ways:

                      Where at least four (4) months of service measurements
                      exist for the Service that is being provided by ACS, the
                      Parties agree that the Service Levels shall be established
                      as follows:

                      o    The Expected Service Level will be set at the average
                           of the two highest monthly measures.

                      o    The Required Service Level will be set to the average
                           of the three lowest monthly measures.



                                       4





                      Where no measurements exist for a particular Service, the
                      Parties shall attempt to agree on an Expected Service
                      Level using industry standard measures or third party
                      advisory services (e.g., Gartner Group, META Group). If
                      the parties are unable to agree on an Expected Service
                      Level the approach used to develop an Expected Service
                      Level and a Required Service Level for a new Critical
                      Service Level will be as follows:

                      o    ACS will implement and report on the actual
                           performance of ACS as to the new Critical Service
                           Level for four (4) months on a monthly basis.
                      o    The Expected Service Level will be set at the average
                           of the two highest monthly measures.
                      o    The Required Service Level will be set to the average
                           of the three lowest monthly measures.

                  b.  Deletions -- Zale may delete Critical Service Levels by
                      sending notice to ACS at least sixty (60) days prior to
                      the date that such deletions to Critical Service Levels
                      are to be effective, provided that Zale may send such a
                      notice (which notice may contain multiple changes) not
                      more than once each calendar quarter.

                  c.  Modifications -- Zale may modify the Service Level Credit
                      Allocations for any Critical Service Levels by sending
                      notice to ACS at least sixty (60) days prior to the date
                      that such modifications to the Service Level Credit
                      Allocations are to be effective, provided that Zale may
                      send such a notice (which notice may contain multiple
                      changes) not more than once each calendar quarter. The
                      Parties shall agree upon the Expected Service Level and
                      the Required Service Level for each modification proposed.
                      The sum total of the Service Level Credit Allocations
                      percentages for all Critical Service Levels identified in
                      Section 2 will be adjusted as necessary to equal 100%.

         1.3.3    Initial Period -- During the first 60 days of ACS
                  responsibility for a Service Level (or for the same period
                  following the installation of a new or replacement application
                  system), any Service Level defaults that repeatedly occur and
                  can not be cured by joint ACS/Zale actions will be subject to
                  joint good faith efforts to correct problem(s) or to reset the
                  expected Service Level(s). The first quarterly and annual
                  report production deadlines are subject to this provision.

         1.3.4    Environment Changes -- When new systems or Region structures
                  occur, the default service levels apply until and unless this
                  Schedule is modified. For convenience, only exceptions to
                  default values are shown in tables within Section 2.

         1.3.5    Specific Corrective Actions -- Each Default of a Required
                  Service Level, as defined in Section 1.4 of this Schedule,
                  requires that ACS provide, at Zale's request, a written
                  assessment of how the service level was missed and what
                  corrective or preventative action has been/will be (with
                  completion date) taken to prevent additional defaults.

         1.3.6    Equipment Ownership -- For any computing or communications
                  equipment which Zale owns, the service level exemptions
                  described below will apply. Equipment failures will
                  effectively "stop the clock" for related service levels until
                  the equipment has been repaired/replaced and any related
                  restoration activities are complete. This exemption is subject
                  to the following restrictions:


                                       5




                  a. No maintenance or support violations on ACS' part in the
                     prior 120 days
                  b. Technical support and environmental software problems are
                     not included
                  c. Proper maintenance schedules using authorized technicians
                     have been followed by ACS
                  d. Instances involving operator negligence are excluded
                  e. No environmental problems in any related ACS equipment area
                     have occurred in the prior 180 days
                  f. ACS has provided at least semi-annual written equipment
                     risk assessments to Zale for the equipment involved. Such
                     assessment shall address performance risk with respect to
                     supported software, equipment sizing, and functionality.
                  g. Zale has reasonably communicated expected and material
                     changes to the processing volumes operated on the
                     equipment, and ACS has had sufficient time to analyze,
                     recommend, and implement upgrade requirements.

SECTION 1.4       SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS

         1.4.1    Calculation--The charts set forth in Section 2 provide the
                  information required to calculate the credits (each a "Service
                  Level Credit") that ACS shall apply against monthly Charges in
                  the event that ACS fails to achieve a Required Service Level
                  and such failure is not excused as provided in this Schedule
                  (each such failure, a "Required Service Level Default"). For
                  each Required Service Level Default, ACS shall pay to Zale a
                  Service Level Credit that will be computed in accordance with
                  the following formula:

                     SERVICE LEVEL CREDIT = A X B X C

                     Where:

                     A = The applicable percentage allocated to the applicable
                     Critical Service Level in which the Required Service Level
                     Default occurred (the "Service Level Credit Allocation").
                     Zale may from time to time during the Term change the
                     Service Level Credit Allocations in accordance with this
                     Schedule C. As of the Effective Date, the Service Level
                     Credit Allocations are set forth in Section 2.

                     B = The monthly At Risk Amount, in dollars

                     C = A number determined as follows:

                     o     C = one (1) if during the six (6) consecutive months
                           immediately preceding the applicable Critical Service
                           Level Default (the "Rolling Six Month Period") the
                           number of Required Service Level Defaults that have
                           occurred with respect to the applicable Critical
                           Service Level are less than or equal to four (4).
                     o     C = two (2) if during the Rolling Six Month Period
                           the number of Required Service Level Defaults that
                           have occurred with respect to the applicable Critical
                           Service Level are equal to or greater than five (5).

         1.4.2    Credits to Zale for Service Level Defaults Occurring in a
                  Single Month--If more than one Required Service Level Default
                  has occurred in a single month, the sum of the corresponding
                  Service Level Credits shall be credited to Zale. If the more
                  than one Required Service Level Defaults occur during a month
                  in Zale's Freeze Period, a fifteen



                                       6






                  (15) percent premium will be added to the Service Level
                  Credit. In no event shall the amount of Service Level Credits
                  credited to Zale with respect to all Required Service Level
                  Defaults occurring in a single month exceed, in total, the At
                  Risk Amount. ACS shall notify Zale in writing if Zale becomes
                  entitled to a Service Level Credit, which notice shall be
                  provided in the monthly performance report. The total dollar
                  amount, based on Service Level Credits, that ACS will be
                  obligated to pay to Zale, with respect to Required Service
                  Level Defaults occurring each month, shall be reflected in a
                  credit memo issued by ACS to Zale at the end of each such
                  month.

         1.4.3    Sample Calculation--Assume that ACS fails to meet the Required
                  Service Level with respect to System Availability Per
                  Scheduled Hours (as defined in Section 2). Assume that ACS'
                  total charges to Zale for the month in which the Required
                  Service Level Default occurred were $775,000. The Service
                  Level Credit due to Zale for such Required Service Level
                  Default would be computed as follows:

                      A = 20% (the Service Level Credit Allocation for System
                      Availability Per Scheduled Hours)

                           Multiplied by

                      B = $38,750 (five percent (5%) of $775,000)

                               Multiplied by

                      C = 1 (see Service Level Credit calculation above)

                               = $7,750 (the amount of the Service Level Credit)


                SECTION 2 -- CRITICAL SERVICE LEVELS AND MEASUREMENTS

         Critical Service Levels and measurements have been set for the services
documented in this Section. Detailed data and reports will be made available to
Zale's designated users through the ACS Performance Information Center (PIC), a
web portal providing instant access to service-level measurements and
statistics. Additional data will be made available to the Zale management team
in electronic and hardcopy form on request.

SECTION 2.1       SYSTEM AVAILABILITY PER SCHEDULED HOURS

         System Availability means the availability of a defined group of
applications or processing environments during scheduled hours each month. The
mainframe and midrange systems documented in the following charts will be
measured as a group to determine a collective System Availability percentage
each month.

         System Availability shall be measured using standard system utilities
and problem ticket information. A system will be considered as available if it
is operating normally and available for its intended use.

         CALCULATION OF SYSTEM AVAILABILITY PER SCHEDULED HOURS = 100 X ((A/B +
A/B) + .....A/B))/N

         WHERE:


                                       7





         A = The number of minutes when an individual application or system was
         available during the month. This calculation will include every
         application or system being measured.

         B = The number of minutes when such application or system was scheduled
         to be available during the month.

         N = The number of applications or systems being measured.

                    SECTION 1 -- TRANSITION SERVICES OVERVIEW

SECTION 1.1       PLAN DEVELOPMENT

         1.1.1    Transition Plan-- ACS has developed and will execute a
                  Transition Plan to selectively upgrade and relocate Zale's
                  designated midrange processors to the ACS Dallas data center
                  and upgrade Zale's data communications network to support that
                  relocation. Following the Effective Date, ACS and Zale will
                  collaboratively refine, finalize and agree on the Transition
                  Plan, which will be approved by the Zale CIO. ACS will use
                  best efforts to comply with the Proposed Transition Schedule
                  in Section 2, as dictated by changing business requirements of
                  both Zale and ACS. The objective of the transition is to
                  complete all relocation and upgrade activities by no later
                  than July 31, 2006.

         1.1.2    Phased Approach -- The Transition Plan is defined in three
                  phases to enable a controlled migration of the designated
                  technical environments while reducing the opportunity for
                  problems affecting production Services. The phases are
                  described in general terms in Section 2 below. Generally, each
                  group of relocated midrange servers and equipment as defined
                  in each phase will be implemented first as a "test
                  environment" to verify the migration has appropriate
                  functionality, connectivity, data and performance
                  characteristics, then a second "live conversion" with current
                  data being transmitted.

         1.1.3    Change Control -- ACS and Zale together, as a part of the
                  overall Change Control process defined in Schedule A, will
                  manage the Transition Plan to best meet Zale's requirements.
                  The Transition Plan has been developed with the best knowledge
                  of both parties as of the Effective Date, however additional
                  planning efforts or changes to business requirements may
                  require changes during the execution of the plan. All changes
                  to the Transition Plan must be approved through the Change
                  Control process, with the understanding that significant
                  changes may affect the cost of the overall Transition Plan,
                  including but not limited to, personnel resources, hardware,
                  software, equipment, and network resources and circuits, such
                  cost changes to be borne by the party requiring the change.

SECTION 1.2       ZALE RESPONSIBILITIES

         1.2.1    Plan Approval and Communication -- Zale shall review, approve,
                  and communicate the Transition Plan to all affected Zale
                  managers, employees, and business units, and Zale management
                  will reasonably ensure that all Zale parties are able to
                  execute the Transition Plan on a timely basis.

         1.2.2    Asset Transfer, 3rd Party Approvals -- Zale and ACS will work
                  together to complete the proposed Asset Transfer for selected
                  Zale assets to ACS, and further to transfer any required Third
                  Party Agreements and/or Services, such as software licenses
                  and maintenance agreements, hardware maintenance agreements,
                  and telecommunications circuits, between the parties as
                  agreed.

         1.2.3    Testing -- Zale shall define, provide, organize, communicate,
                  and approve any Zale personnel required to test the Zale
                  Systems and Applications once migrated to both the "test
                  environment" and "live conversion" environment as defined in
                  Section 1.1.2 above.

                                       3



         1.2.4    Personnel -- Zale shall coordinate activities and priorities
                  for both its technical and user personnel as required to
                  ensure that both Transition Plan tasks and applications
                  development/support tasks are completed according to schedule.

         1.2.5    Acceptance -- Zale will work with ACS during the phases to
                  develop Acceptance Criteria to verify a particular phase has
                  been completed as specified, and is operating as required to
                  meet Zale's business needs. Zale shall provide written
                  approval and acceptance for each completed phase.

SECTION 1.3       SERVICE LEVELS

                  Although unexpected, Service Level Failures may result from a
         Transition Plan activity. If the failure is caused by Zale, Service
         Levels impacted by the failure shall not be subject to Service Level
         Credits. If the failure is caused by ACS, its agents or subcontractors,
         or any other ACS personnel, in addition to any other remedies Zale may
         have under the Agreement, any resulting Service Level impacts shall be
         subject to Service Level Credits.


                    SECTION 2 -- PROPOSED TRANSITION SCHEDULE

SECTION 2.1       PHASE 1 (AUGUST 15, 2005 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2005)

         o        This timeframe spans Zale's year-end close, during which no
                  changes will be made to the production IT environment. Working
                  with Zale applications development personnel, ACS will use the
                  time for documentation of existing environments, definition of
                  new environments, development of detailed migration tasks and
                  checklists, development of testing and acceptance criteria,
                  and preparation of applicable documentation for new and
                  revised procedures.

         o        Zale and ACS to collaboratively refine and finalize the
                  Transition Plan.

         o        Hardware, Software, Network and other equipment changes,
                  acquisitions and upgrades are defined in Schedule A, and will
                  be reconfirmed as of the Effective Date.

         o        ACS will initiate provisioning of network circuits and
                  acquisition of network switches, routers, hubs, software,
                  racks and cabling that are detailed in Section 4.5 of Schedule
                  A.

         o        ACS will initiate procurement of two HP-UX processors, 21
                  Intel-based processors (including 6 with VMware capabilities),
                  a Clariion 4 terabyte usable storage array, a new Virtual Tape
                  System, additional drives for the Tape Library, and added disk
                  storage for the AS/400 as detailed in Section 2.2 of Schedule
                  A.

         o        ACS, with the assistance of Zale, will initiate transition of
                  application 3rd party services (software licenses, services,
                  maintenance, etc.) between the parties.

SECTION 2.2       PHASE 2 (OCTOBER 1, 2005 TO JANUARY 9, 2006)

         o        This timeframe spans Zale's year-end Holiday Season, during
                  which no changes will be made to the production IT
                  environment.

                                        4




         o        ACS will complete provisioning of new network circuits and
                  installation of equipment initiated in Phase 1. Completion of
                  this task will be determined by the availability dates
                  provided by the carriers for expanded connectivity between the
                  Zale General Offices and ACS data center in Dallas.

         o        ACS will complete acquisition and installation of new midrange
                  processors and the storage devices initiated in Phase 1.

         o        ACS will order and install leased EMC storage equipment to
                  facilitate transition activities.

SECTION 2.3       PHASE 3 (JANUARY 10, 2006 TO JUNE 28, 2006)

         o        AS/400 -- ACS will install additional disk storage and move
                  the AS/400 to the ACS Dallas data center. ACS also will assist
                  in planning for downsizing the AS/400 due to the reduced
                  processing requirements anticipated by Zale.

         o        Intel-based Processors -- ACS will move Zale server images to
                  the ACS Dallas data center and install them on both new and
                  leased processors at the ACS Dallas data center. As part of
                  Phase 3, ACS will work with Zale to identify an Intel-based
                  processor that can be used as a "Syslog" server for security
                  administration.

         o        UNIX Processors -- ACS will transfer Zale server images
                  over-the-wire and consolidate them into new processors at the
                  ACS Dallas data center.

         o        Tape Storage -- ACS will leverage an existing Tape Library at
                  its Dallas data center to facilitate transfers. The Zale Tape
                  Library will remain at Zale as a backup and will be moved to
                  the ACS facility only after the migration of all associated
                  servers is complete. Also during Phase 3, ACS will migrate
                  Zale's existing mainframe tape system to a new Virtual Tape
                  System.

         o        Disk Storage -- ACS will transfer data from Zale's EMC 8730
                  and 8830 storage units to leased equipment at the ACS Dallas
                  data center, then reverse the process after moving the EMC
                  units to the ACS facility.

SECTION 2.4       DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

         2.4.1    2005 Disaster Exercise -- ACS will schedule and assist Zale
                  with the FY2006 Disaster Recovery exercise so that the
                  exercise, post-exercise review, and appropriate remediation,
                  if any, is completed by June 30, 2006. Zale and ACS recognize
                  that this exercise will be completed during the Transition
                  Period and may not be fully reflective of the final
                  environment.

         2.4.2    Disaster Recovery Plan -- ACS, with Zale's assistance and
                  approval, will complete planning, documentation, scheduling
                  and implementation of the Zale Disaster Recovery Plan as

                          SECTION 3 -- SNCC TRANSITION

SECTION 3.1       ACS ENTERPRISE COMMAND CENTER

         3.1.1    ECC Overview -- The ACS Enterprise Command Center (ECC),
                  located at the Dallas data center, and with alternate support
                  sites at other ACS locations globally, will assume overall
                  management of daily operations from the Zale Systems and
                  Network Command Center (SNCC), located at the Zale
                  headquarters and staffed by ACS personnel. The ECC has
                  responsibility for system and server monitoring, console
                  operations, communications with technical and, as appropriate,
                  customer personnel, performance tracking and reporting, and
                  initiation of the incident management process.

                  As of the Effective Date, specific teams within the ECC are
                  already performing services for Zale to monitor and manage
                  Zale's mainframe processing, the Zale network (Network
                  Operations Center or "NOC"), the Zale web operations ("IS
                  Team"), and Zale network security and intrusion detection
                  (Security Operations Center or "SOC").

         3.1.2    Staff Transition -- ACS will begin transition of staff and
                  responsibilities into ECC managed locations after ACS has
                  established sufficient connectivity and implemented management
                  tools to permit effective remote management of the SNCC
                  operations. ACS will communicate the transition plans to Zale
                  management in advance of migration.

         3.1.3    Hands-On Support -- ACS will retain sufficient staff on site
                  at Zale during the Transition Period to ensure that any
                  hands-on support as may be required to manage servers, telecom
                  equipment, tape media and media servers will be available so
                  as to remain within designated response times.

         3.1.4    Communications -- After the Effective Date ACS will, working
                  with Zale, begin to transition inter-personal communications
                  such as page-outs, problem tickets, and calls to application
                  development personnel, to the standard operating procedures
                  and tools employed in the ECC.

SECTION 3.2       OPERATIONS

         3.1.5    SNCC Facility -- During the Transition Period, the SNCC
                  facility and secure environment will be maintained by Zale to
                  allow continued operations of Zale's midrange environment.
                  Zale and ACS employees will be permitted comparable access
                  rights and workspace to effectively perform the Services.

                  3.1.5.1  Zale may, as space become available, elect to
                           transition the equipment and personnel for their Zale
                           Monitoring Center (ZMC) into the SNCC. ACS and Zale
                           will work together to facilitate a successful
                           migration.

                  3.1.5.2  After the Transition Period, ACS will retain
                           management responsibility for specific midrange
                           servers, network equipment, circuits, and other
                           equipment that shall be located in the SNCC or other
                           closets and secure facilities controlled by Zale.
                           Zale and ACS employees will be permitted comparable
                           access rights and workspace to effectively perform
                           the Services.

         3.1.6    Production Control and Scheduling -- After ACS has established
                  sufficient connectivity and implemented management tools to
                  permit effective remote management of the midrange systems
                  located in the SNCC, ACS will consolidate Production Control
                  and Scheduling operational responsibilities conducted in the
                  SNCC into the similar teams performing these Services from the
                  ACS data center.

                                       6



         3.1.7    LAN and UNIX Support-- After ACS has established sufficient
                  connectivity and implemented management tools to permit
                  effective remote management of the midrange systems located in
                  the SNCC, ACS may relocate certain UNIX and NT Administrator
                  positions into the similar teams performing these Services
                  remotely, either from the ACS data center in Dallas or other
                  ACS locations which can support these functions. During the
                  Transition Period, and afterward as agreed by the parties,
                  Zale will continue to provide comparable workspace and
                  physical access for these individuals as required to deliver
                  the Services.

                             SECTION 1 -- PERSONNEL

SECTION 1.1       APPROVED POSITIONS

         In providing the Services contemplated in this Agreement ACS will
provide resources in a number of positions that are key to the success of the
processing services. As such, Zale requires certain approvals and restrictions
on these positions. Zale requires prior approval of proposed assignments to the
positions of Executive Account Manager and Service Delivery Manager or to the
equivalent positions developed through the life of the Agreement. ACS agrees
that these positions (or their approved replacements) will be provided
throughout the duration of the Agreement. In addition, the ACS Regional Vice
President or comparable executive associated with Zale will participate in
quarterly strategy meetings with Zale to address personnel matters and other key
issues relating to the Services.

         1.1.1   Executive Account Manager --The Executive Account Manager will
                 be responsible for the management of the delivery of the
                 Services to Zale. This person will be designated as the primary
                 point of contact with Zale management for purposes of
                 administration of this Agreement. The Executive Account Manager
                 will submit a formal written report by the 15th of each month
                 on the status of the Agreement and delivery of the Services,
                 performance against the service levels in Schedule C, and any
                 other issues that have arisen in the normal execution of the
                 Agreement during the previous month. ACS will, as necessary,
                 name both an alternative to (temporary replacement for) and an
                 escalation point from the Executive Account Manager that will
                 provide Zale with points of contact at all times during this
                 Agreement. The Executive Account Manager will participate in
                 the Zale IT strategic planning process.

         1.1.2   Service Delivery Manager - The Service Delivery Manager will be
                 the primary operational interface with Zale. This person will
                 coordinate the technical issues related to day-to-day
                 operations, will attend and participate in Zale's regularly
                 scheduled operational meetings, including change control and
                 daily and weekly status meetings, and will be responsible for
                 monitoring the status and escalation of reported problems. The
                 Service Delivery Manager will be on site at the Zale Facility.

         1.1.3   Transition Manager -- ACS shall assign a Transition Project
                 Manager for the Transition Period to coordinate and communicate
                 all activities and responsibilities of ACS and Zale required to
                 complete the Transition according to the Transition Plan,
                 including the integration of the Transition Plan with other
                 support activities and daily operational responsibilities.

SECTION 1.2       ACS TECHNICAL SUPPORT

         ACS is to provide trained and managed resources at levels required to
properly perform its obligations under all aspects of the Agreement and the
Schedules incorporated therein. ACS is to provide these resources from its
full-time employee base or from resources obtained from the approved
subcontractors.

         Key positions exist in the areas of operations (including production
control), midrange administration, and network responsible for management,
coordination and communication of ACS' delivery responsibilities under the
Agreement. These other key positions do not require prior approval by Zale, but
are subject to Zale acceptance of performance of duties (whether on Zale
premises or not). For these positions, Zale may require reassignment/replacement
of the human resources assigned by



                                       3




providing a written statement of why Zale believes, in good faith, that service
level performance is jeopardized or risk is created by the assignment. In such
instances, ACS will make the replacements as requested by Zale within reasonable
time with the exception that no such action will be taken if it would violate
the employment obligations of ACS to the individual involved. In such
situations, ACS and Zale will work in good faith to resolve the situation.

SECTION 1.3       ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT

         ACS will provide trained and managed resources at levels required to
properly perform its obligations under all aspects of the Agreement and the
Schedules. In addition, ACS will provide:

         1.3.1   Planning Support - ACS will, in performing the duties
                 identified in Schedule A, commit a minimum of 300 hours per
                 year, as directed by the Zale CIO, to specific, customer
                 interactive planning activities and, further, at least one
                 third of these hours are provided by specialist resources not
                 routinely dedicated to the Zale account. This minimum does not
                 relieve any ACS responsibility for the proper and timely
                 preparation of planning and related documents identified in
                 this Agreement.

         1.3.2   Account Administration - ACS will provide a single resource
                 that can work, as required, with Zale administrative resources
                 to resolve all matters and questions arising from the
                 administration of this Agreement, including, but not limited
                 to, billing and certification issues.

         1.3.3   Standards and Procedures - ACS will identify one or more
                 specific resources that are responsible for producing,
                 maintaining and distributing the standards, procedures and
                 practices materials, including operational and support
                 documentation, required to meet the obligations set forth in
                 this Agreement.

SECTION 1.4       ORGANIZATION CHARTS

         ACS and Zale shall each provide the other with such management and
other information as shall be reasonably required.

SECTION 1.5       TRANSFERRED STAFF

         The Parties agree that, should one or more functions or services be
transferred from one Party to the other Party, the Parties will determine, in
good faith, whether it is advantageous to and in keeping with the purposes and
spirit of this Agreement to also attempt to transfer all or part of the staff
associated with the transferred function/service. The Party from which the
function/service is being transferred will have sole discretion whether
associated staff may be approached or solicited for transfer.

         Notwithstanding these provisions, both Parties agree that (1) the
prohibition on solicitation for hire of employees of the other Party without
permission set forth in Section 19.10 of this Agreement is not in contradiction
with this Schedule and (2) that either Party, or both Parties in cooperation,
will take no actions that interfere with the individual rights of employees to
seek other employment except as deemed consistent with appropriate laws and
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

                     SECTION 1 -- DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING

SECTION 1.1       SCOPE OF SERVICES

         1.1.1    ACS & Zale Facilities -- The recovery capabilities developed
                  to satisfy the requirements of this Schedule must support
                  components at multiple locations, including, as impacted, Zale
                  user locations, Zale processing facilities, ACS equipment
                  deployments at Zale facilities, the ACS primary processing
                  facility and any other facilities that may be incorporated
                  into the system architecture supported under this Agreement.
                  Support for the facilities includes equipment, software,
                  operation and oversight and interfaces or linkages to other
                  components as required to establish a recovered environment.

          1.1.2   Recoverability Targets -- The Disaster Recovery Plan
                  ("Disaster Recovery Plan") developed by ACS shall meet Zale's
                  requirement to have recovered essential functionality of
                  critical mainframe and midrange applications (and associated
                  system and third party communications access), as defined by
                  Zale, within 72 hours of a declared disaster, with other
                  applications following on an urgent basis with full recovery
                  of key business applications as described and prioritized in
                  the Disaster Recovery Plan.

                  Recoverability Targets are based on the ready and
                  uninterrupted availability of commercial ground and air
                  transportation to transport data and recovery personnel to the
                  designated offsite recovery location, especially during a
                  force majeure event where such availability is limited. To
                  limit risk related to this threat, Zale may consider
                  additional Advanced Data Management capabilities such as those
                  described in Section 4.2 of this Schedule.

         1.1.3    Systems -- ACS will provide a disaster recovery capability for
                  Zale's mainframe and midrange processing environments.
                  Recovery is to include recovery of the necessary technology
                  components, including communications, from a site other than
                  ACS' primary processing facility, or the systems' normal
                  processing facility if different, to allow use of applicable
                  Mission Critical Applications as defined in Section 1.2.2 and
                  Table G-1 within agreed time periods, but not to exceed the
                  time specified in Section 1.1.2, following a declared
                  disaster. The cost of mainframe and midrange disaster recovery
                  services is included in Schedule B.

                  ACS recognizes that critical components of Zale's midrange
                  processing environment may be resident at Zale facilities, at
                  ACS facilities, or at both, and that the plan must provide
                  recoverability for these components. Recovery must allow
                  recovered systems to work in conjunction with other mainframe
                  or midrange components that may or may not have been relocated
                  by the recovery effort.

         1.1.4    Operations Services -- Recovery is to include the support
                  functions defined in Schedule A associated with the recovered
                  environment, including but not limited to, printing services,
                  production control and scheduling, technical support,
                  production migration and application management, computer
                  operations, escalation and supervisory support and help desk
                  escalation. Recovery is to include adequate voice and related
                  communications capability to support the




                                       3





                  large amount of coordination that would be required in a
                  disaster recovery situation.

         1.1.5    Interfaces -- The scope of disaster recovery is to include
                  recovery of the logical data interfaces between Zale systems
                  and platforms and between Zale systems and external systems.
                  The cost of interface support is included in the disaster
                  recovery fees in Schedule B.

         1.1.6    Communications Networks -- In addition to the communications
                  links between system components (whether used in normal
                  operating conditions or as part of recovery operations) the
                  disaster recovery capability provided by ACS is to include
                  support for the Zale data communications network. This support
                  includes links to other Zale facilities, store polling, EDI
                  linkages and other communications that may be implemented
                  within the scope of the included systems. Dial and internet
                  communications for both support and end user access to Zale
                  applications must be available as part of the recovery. Zale,
                  as holder of certain communication assets, will need to
                  provide proper authorization and complete information to ACS
                  to act on Zale's behalf for recovery and relocation of
                  Services. The cost of communications disaster recovery is
                  included in the disaster recovery fees in Schedule B.

         1.1.7    Desktop Recovery -- ACS will support the existing data backup
                  mechanism that provides end user retention of data on servers
                  that are subject to routine off-site backup for recovery
                  purposes. Recovery plans for each plan scenario (i.e. partial
                  or total loss of any of the facilities involved in the
                  technology architecture) will include consideration of
                  providing recovered server access, either from the original
                  desktop workstations or from an alternate site equipped with
                  emergency desktop workstations as described in Section
                  4.1below.

SECTION 1.2       DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

         1.2.1    Disaster Recovery Plan Management -- As of the Effective Date,
                  ACS shall continue to manage disaster recovery using the
                  existing Disaster Recovery Plan currently maintained by ACS
                  for Zale. Once a year, ACS and Zale will jointly review,
                  update, publish and then maintain a comprehensive Disaster
                  Recovery Plan that will encompass the entire scope of disaster
                  recovery support described in this Schedule. Zale shall
                  communicate its priorities and preferences to ACS on how to
                  meet the Disaster Recovery Plan objectives. ACS is to take the
                  lead role for development and maintenance of the plan.

                  In conjunction with the operations Disaster Recovery Plan
                  required by this Schedule, Zale will develop and publish a
                  corresponding application system disaster recovery plan (or
                  provide a section of the Disaster Recovery Plan). The plan is
                  to include the provision of reviews to ensure ongoing
                  recoverability of applications, emergency deployment of
                  resources once production processing is recovered, adaptation
                  and optimization efforts once a recovery situation is known,
                  and provision for returning to normal processing (and recovery
                  of missed processing) once recovery mode can be terminated.

         1.2.2    Mission Critical Applications -- During each Benchmark, Zale
                  shall review, update and approve the list of mission critical
                  Applications, which shall include


                                       4




                  (unless otherwise agreed by Zale) those Applications deemed
                  mission critical by Zale as of the Effective Date ("Mission
                  Critical Applications"). Subsequent to the recovery of Mission
                  Critical Applications, all other Services shall be recovered
                  in accordance with the Disaster Recovery Plan. The list of
                  Mission Critical Applications is provided as Table G-1 in this
                  Schedule.

         1.2.3    Recovery Priorities/Sequence -- Zale will define the business
                  recovery requirements for each area within the scope of the
                  disaster recovery program. Information provided by Zale is to
                  include identification of critical applications and
                  subsystems, recovery sequences, and priorities for user access
                  recovery. For business recoveries, Zale will also define the
                  number of critical employees needing access and their terminal
                  and logical access requirements.

         1.2.4    Data -- ACS and Zale will jointly develop and ACS will
                  implement and maintain the mainframe and midrange tape and
                  DASD backup and off-site storage mechanisms that are needed to
                  meet requirements to assure timely recovery of the computing
                  environments per the Disaster Recovery Plan. Zale and ACS are
                  responsible for maintaining application system backup
                  processes and procedures in a manner that support the Disaster
                  Recovery Plan. Failure by Zale to develop the backup
                  requirements/provisions as part of developing or modifying the
                  application systems will relieve ACS of the requirement to
                  recover any directly related functions. To avoid this
                  situation wherever possible, ACS will review disaster recovery
                  data backups as part of the change control/change migration
                  process.

         1.2.5    The Plan -- The Disaster Recovery Plan is maintained by ACS,
                  stored in one or more secure offsite locations, and is
                  distributed electronically as required on CD or comparable
                  electronic media. A sample of the typical plan components is
                  provided for reference as Table G-2 to this Schedule.

         1.2.6    Updating the Plan -- ACS shall ensure that the Disaster
                  Recovery Plan is kept up to date and is capable of
                  implementation. The process for approving changes to the
                  Disaster Recovery Plan shall be managed by Zale which will
                  review risks presented by any modifications to the Disaster
                  Recovery Plan and accept and implement substantial
                  modifications which materially impact the Services, in
                  accordance with the Change Management Procedure. Changes to
                  the Disaster Recovery Plan requiring additional resources at
                  the offsite recovery location may generate additional charges
                  which will be passed on to Zale.

         1.2.7    System Changes -- ACS shall advise Zale at least thirty (30)
                  days in advance of any changes to the systems or Services
                  being implemented, including any planned workload or capacity
                  changes, that could negatively impact the Disaster Recovery
                  Plan. Such changes to the systems or Services will be
                  coordinated through the System Change Management Process, and
                  shall not be implemented without Zale's prior approval.

         1.2.8    Training -- ACS shall train ACS Personnel and any Zale
                  personnel (as required by Zale) in disaster recovery
                  procedures and ensure immediate access to procedures and
                  relevant documents in a Disaster.

                     SECTION 2 -- DISASTER RECOVERY EXERCISE

SECTION 2.1       DISASTER RECOVERY TESTING

         2.1.1    Test Schedule -- ACS and Zale will jointly test the Disaster
                  Recovery Plan on an annual basis, as scheduled by mutual
                  agreement but never during a Zale Freeze Period. ACS and Zale
                  will agree on goals and objectives for the annual disaster
                  recovery test prior to the scheduled testing date. Zale shall
                  be involved in establishing test dates, developing test plans,
                  and be involved in the actual test to validate the results.
                  ACS shall document results as Zale determines, and shall
                  identify and implement process improvements required as a
                  result of the tests.

         2.1.2    Test Scope -- The portion of the Disaster Recovery Plan
                  established for testing will be as agreed but must include
                  core applications, polling, new applications and any systems
                  that did not pass on a previous test. The Plan (or segment
                  thereof) may be tested in its entirety at one time or in more
                  than one focused test area and must generally executed within
                  the environments specified for exercise in Table G-3, although
                  no more than one test per year will be conducted with the
                  external provider except as provided in Section
                  2.1.4--Re-tests below. Test scenarios are to include, over
                  time, each of the loss scenarios defined in the disaster
                  recovery plan.

         2.1.3    Walk-Thru -- In addition to full testing, Zale and ACS, at
                  Zale's direction, will conduct one annual walk-through of each
                  element of the Zale's Disaster Recovery Plan.

         2.1.4    Re-tests -- After each disaster recovery test, ACS and Zale
                  shall jointly determine if the agreed upon goals and
                  objectives for the disaster recovery test were reasonably
                  achieved. If an agreed upon goal or objective was not
                  achieved, ACS and Zale will assign responsibility for not
                  achieving the goal or objective and determine if re-testing is
                  required prior to the next scheduled disaster recovery test.
                  If ACS and Zale determine that re-testing is required prior to
                  the next scheduled disaster recovery test, the cost of the
                  re-test shall be borne by the party for which responsibility
                  for not achieving the goal or objective was assigned.

         2.1.5    Testing Affect on Service Levels--Disaster recovery testing
                  shall be designed and executed to have no impact on the
                  Service Levels.

         2.1.6    Audits -- The ACS plan will meet Zale's audit requirements and
                  will be subject to the annual general audit provisions of the
                  Agreement. Zale agrees to bear any cost for ACS to comply with
                  Zale's audit requirements which fall outside normal industry
                  standards.

                        SECTION 3 -- DISASTER PROCEDURES

SECTION 3.1       DISASTER INVOCATION

         3.1.1    Invocation -- A Disaster can only be declared by Zale. Zale
                  and ACS shall each immediately inform the other, and Zale
                  management, of any circumstances of



                                       6






                  which it becomes aware which could amount to, or might lead
                  to, a Disaster. This shall include any instance of an actual
                  or threatened force majeure event. ACS shall consult with Zale
                  and obtain Zale's consent prior to declaring a disaster, which
                  consent will not be unreasonably withheld. With regard to
                  those circumstances in which only the business of Zale is
                  impacted, Zale may request that ACS declare a disaster; such
                  request shall not be unreasonably denied.

         3.1.2    Irrevocable -- Charges related to declaration of a disaster at
                  the designated recovery facility are generally irrevocable,
                  even if recovery is no longer needed and Zale never actually
                  utilizes the recovery facility.

         3.1.3    Notifications -- Notification by either party of a disaster
                  situation is to be made immediately.

SECTION 3.2       DISASTER MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES

         3.2.1    Execution Procedure -- In the event of a Disaster, ACS shall:
                  (i) immediately implement the relevant Zale Disaster Recovery
                  Plan and or segments of the Plan; (ii) provide operational and
                  technical support for disaster recovery planning, development,
                  documentation, testing and execution; and (iii) provide
                  continuous, non-stop effort and escalation to senior
                  management of ACS and Zale to minimize disruptions caused by
                  any Disaster.

         3.2.2    Reporting -- ACS shall make available to Zale various reports
                  reflecting the status of its Disaster recovery activities.
                  Zale's existing Disaster Recovery Plan provides for continuity
                  of IT services. It does not include the broader scope of
                  overall business continuity in the event of a "disaster"
                  event.

         3.2.3    Executive Communications -- In addition to normal provisions
                  for communications, ACS agrees that it will assign an
                  executive/senior management resource to provide communications
                  and recovery oversight services to Zale in the event of the
                  invocation of disaster recovery. The senior ACS resource is to
                  be identified and accepted by the Zale CIO in advance, with
                  both parties conducting such working sessions and procedures
                  development/agreement as may be deemed necessary by the Zale
                  CIO to be able to meet the reasonable expectation of senior
                  and executive Zale management. This communications and
                  oversight function is to be independent from, but coordinated
                  with the interaction at the account management,
                  administration, operations and support levels.

SECTION 3.3       SERVICE LEVELS

         3.3.1    Affected Services -- If the Disaster is caused by a force
                  majeure event, Service Levels impacted by the Disaster shall
                  not be subject to Service Level Credits. If the Disaster is
                  caused by ACS, its agents or subcontractors, or any other ACS
                  personnel, in addition to any other remedies Zale may have
                  under the Agreement, any resulting Service Level impacts shall
                  be subject to Service Level Credits.

         3.3.2    Non-Affected Services -- In the event of a Disaster, ACS shall
                  provide additional technical resources to Zale to ensure
                  Service Levels for non affected areas are maintained.




                                       7






                         SECTION 4 -- OPTIONAL SERVICES

SECTION 4.1       ALTERNATE SITE ACCESS/BUSINESS RECOVERY

          ACS will, as reasonably requested, assist Zale in the development of a
business recovery plan designed to allow Zale to resume critical data processing
and voice communications functions in support of business activity in the event
of a disaster at a General Office facility. The plan will provide for an
alternative workspace in the Dallas metropolitan area for critical Zale
employees, with appropriate terminal and/or desktop equipment,
telecommunications, and voice communication capability to allow the resumption
of critical processing functions as defined in the plan. Any hardware, software,
network, facilities or third party consulting resources required to provide such
plan and capability shall be at Zale's sole expense.

SECTION 4.2       ALTERNATE STRATEGIES

         4.2.1    Advanced Recovery Data Management --To reduce the risk of
                  extending recovery timelines beyond those specified in Section
                  1.1.2--Recoverability Targets, at Zale's request, ACS will
                  work with third-party offsite recovery facility providers to
                  provide Advanced Recovery Data Management services, such as
                  data transportation and remote storage and/or remote data
                  mirroring to reduce or eliminate delays resulting from the
                  data relocation to a designated recovery facility. These
                  Services are currently not within the scope of the Agreement
                  and would carry additional charges.

         4.2.2    Standby Equipment -- ACS and Zale will work to develop a
                  disaster recovery approach that utilizes Zale acquisition of
                  application and network servers in an effective manner. The
                  use of backup and/or development/test servers, based at
                  alternate sites where practical, to defer the cost of further
                  equipment is a planning objective. Zale and ACS will agree as
                  to which servers/platforms are to be backed up by owned/leased
                  standby equipment, by third party reserved resources, or by
                  emergency acquisition of replacement equipment. Acquisition of
                  backup server equipment is to be at Zale's discretion.

         4.2.3    Emergency Acquisitions -- Both parties agree that emergency
                  implementation of all or part the Disaster Recovery Plan may
                  involve emergency acquisition of certain equipment, typically
                  small servers and workstations, that are readily available.
                  Disaster recovery process cannot be dependent on the
                  availability of this (or any other singular) communication
                  mechanism.

         4.2.4    Reciprocal Agreements -- Wherever practical, and with Zale's
                  sole approval, Zale and ACS may enter into reciprocal
                  agreements with other third parties to provide each other
                  alternate processing facilities or environments at reduced
                  expense.
