The Parties shall proceed to arbitration in the manner described in Schedule “I” (Arbitration), unless the Parties are required by legislation to arbitrate only in a manner otherwise than as described in Schedule “I” (Arbitration), in which event the Parties shall arbitrate the Dispute as required by such legislation.

b) Any determination by arbitration shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and not subject to appeal or challenge, except such limited relief provided under Subsection 45(1) (Appeal on a question of law, with leave) or Section 46 (Setting aside award) of the Arbitration Act, 1991.

The appointment of the Service Provider’s members and their alternates on the Steering Committee and the Executive Committee shall terminate as of the date of the notice. In addition and for greater clarity, despite the Service Provider’s termination of its participation under this Section 75 (Termination without cause by a Service Provider), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect between the remaining Parties. Any outstanding payment obligations of the Service Provider, including any amount due by the Agent on behalf of the Service Provider to the Vendor or any third party in relation to the GTA Fare System and damages the Agent may incur as a result of the Service Provider’s termination without cause, remaining as of the date of termination without cause, shall remain in effect, due and payable to the Agent. 76.

SCHEDULE “A” DESCRIPTION OF GTA FARE SYSTEM AND

RELATED COMPONENTS 1. GTA Fare System

The GTA Fare System will include a GTA farecard allowing customers to ride on any participating GTA transit system without knowing the fare policies of each transit system in advance. The GTA farecard will be a credit card sized plastic card with an embedded computer chip and an antenna for contactless communication, that can be programmed to store transit fare payment options and other information required for fare collection. The common currency for fare payment will be an electronic purse (e-purse). The e-purse is the electronic version of cash that can provide full fare payment interoperability on the Municipal Systems, the TTC Initial System and GO Transit System. In addition, the e-purse: 1) can provide for the development of more flexible and market driven fare policies that could be implemented through a customer loyalty program; 2) could allow agencies to reduce the proportion of fares paid by cash; and 3) could replace existing paper fare payment options (tickets, passes, etc.). The following is a schematic of the high level architecture of the GTA Fare System:

46

2. Central System The Central System will be the link to all of the Municipal Systems, the TTC Initial System, when implemented, and the GO Transit System, acquiring all farecard transaction data, holding e-purse value in a separate bank account and disbursing funds to each User on a daily basis, providing customer farecard support services and central technical support. The Central System will be a secure network of servers and appropriate networking equipment, designed to provide services seven (7) days a week and twenty-four (24) hours per day. The Ministry shall own and be responsible for the Central System.

3. Municipal Systems In addition to the Central System, separate systems will be procured for each Municipality, except the City of Toronto/TTC. The Municipal Systems will include the on-board and back office equipment and software to accommodate and administer the farecards. This includes farecard readers which read and deduct the appropriate fare when the contactless card is placed in the vicinity of the reader. At the end of each day, when the bus returns to its base depot, these devices will transmit their data by wireless means to a depot computer that will store the data from each bus until it is uploaded to the Central System. The Municipal Systems will also include point of sales devices at designated locations (including third party locations) to allow customers to purchase and load value onto their farecards. 4. GO Transit System The GO Transit System will consist of the on-board, in-station and back office equipment and software for GO Transit rail and bus services. The GO Transit System will provide the same functions as the Municipal Systems, but in the GO Transit operating environment. Besides the units aboard its buses (similar to the Municipal Systems) GO Transit will have units at each of its rail stations for farecard transactions. GO Transit enforcement officers will also use handheld devices to verify fare payment on board its trains as a continuation of its proof of payment program. The GO Transit Systems will also include point of sales devices at designated locations (including third party locations) to allow customers to purchase and load added value onto their farecards.

47

5. TTC Initial System

The TTC Initial System shall consist of farecard devices and related equipment, located at three (3) subway stations (Finch, Union and Islington) for the collection of TTC fares, and any other equipment or locations as recommended by the TTC and approved by the Ministry.

48

SCHEDULE “A-1”

DESCRIPTION OF TTC SYSTEM

1. Description

The TTC System shall mean the as yet to be defined system that is developed and procured separately and distinctly from the Municipal Systems and the GO Transit System.

The TTC System will consist of equipment and software for the TTC for various TTC fare system processes operating in the TTC’s environment. The TTC System will include point of sales devices at designated locations to allow customers to purchase and load added value onto their farecards.

The TTC System will interface with the Central System, when approved by the Commission.

49

Where the Steering Committee considers it appropriate, the Steering Committee may recommend to the Executive Committee that the Budget be adjusted to address the Budget Issue.

2. Role of each User

a) Each User shall, through the dedication of necessary human and other resources to the Project Office, Steering Committee, sub-committees of the Steering Committee and the Executive Committee, facilitate the RFP process and assist the Ministry in performing its obligations under the Agreement, including reviewing, developing or refining specifications that incorporate the need of the User, reviewing RFP documents and participating in the evaluation process.

b) Each User shall direct any enquiries from any potential Vendor during the

Procurement process to the Ministry, to ensure that no inaccurate, unrecorded or inconsistent statements or representations are made by any User, and to avoid any prejudice to the process. In addition, provided the Procurement process is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Users shall allow the Ministry to solely implement and manage the RFP Process and shall not do anything to prejudice the RFP process including, without limitation, interacting with potential bidders if such interaction with potential bidders could prejudice the RFP process.

c) Each User shall provide the Ministry with any comments it may have within the

reasonable timelines established by the Ministry, where the Ministry requests comments from a User related to the Procurement process or documents.

SCHEDULE “E-1” TTC CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

[Instructional note: To be signed by the organization, TTC.] For sufficient and valuable consideration received from Her Majesty the Queen in right of Ontario as represented by the Minister of Transportation (the "Ministry"), including the disclosure to the Toronto Transit Commission (the “TTC”) of certain Confidential Information (as defined below), the TTC agrees as follows: 1. The TTC shall maintain the absolute confidentiality of all Confidential Information (as defined below), and, except as expressly permitted herein, shall not directly or indirectly copy, distribute, disclose, use or allow access to, the Confidential Information, or obtain any benefit from the Confidential Information or permit anyone to do any of these things. The TTC agrees not to disclose any of the Confidential Information to any person for any reason whatsoever other than to those employees, members of the Toronto Transit Commission (“Commissioners”), consultants and professional advisors who actually need to have knowledge of the Confidential Information for the purpose of facilitating the TTC’s participation in the Project (as defined below). In this event, the TTC shall disclose such part of the Confidential Information to those employees, Commissioners, consultants and professional advisors as is reasonably necessary. Prior to disclosure, however, the TTC shall issue appropriate directions to those employees, Commissioners, consultants and professional advisors to whom it proposes to lawfully disclose the Confidential Information to satisfy the TTC’s obligations herein, and, where appropriate, acting reasonably, shall obtain an agreement in writing from each of its employees and Commissioners to treat the Confidential Information as confidential and to deal with conflict of interest. The TTC shall obtain an agreement in writing from all above referenced consultants and professional advisors to treat the Confidential Information as confidential and to otherwise observe the restrictions in this Confidentiality Agreement, including those pertaining to conflict of interest. The TTC shall be responsible and liable for any breach of the obligations herein by any person or entity to whom it discloses Confidential Information. 2. The TTC shall maintain the security and integrity of any Confidential Information in the possession or control of the TTC, and shall keep such Confidential Information in a physically secure location to which access is restricted. The TTC shall use measures to protect the Confidential Information which are no less stringent than the measures used to protect its information of a confidential nature. The TTC shall not have, or acquire, any right, title or interest, including intellectual property rights, in such Confidential Information. 3. The TTC acknowledges that the Ministry has disclosed the Confidential Information to the TTC solely in connection with assisting, advising and/or providing feedback to the GTA Fare System Project (the “Authorized Purpose” and “Project” respectively). The TTC may use the Confidential Information solely in connection with the Authorized Purpose and for no other purpose. The TTC acknowledges and agrees that unauthorized dealings with the Confidential Information would be detrimental to the interests, business and affairs of the Ministry (or third parties with respect to third party information), including the integrity of the Project. 4. On expiration or termination of the TTC’s participation in the Project, or anytime upon the Ministry’s request, the TTC agrees to ensure all copies and partial copies of any Confidential

All references to number of days in this Schedule “I” (Arbitration) shall be interpreted consistent with Rule 3 (Time) of the Rules of Civil Procedure under the Courts of Justice Act, R.R.O. 1990, Regulation 194. Jurisdiction and Scope 1. The Arbitral Tribunal (as defined in Section 5 (Appointment of Arbitral Tribunal) to this Schedule “I” (Arbitration) appointed under these rules will apply the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1991 of Ontario to any arbitration conducted under the Agreement except to the extent they are modified by the express provisions of these rules. 2. Each Party agrees:

(a) it will not apply to the courts of Ontario or any other jurisdiction to attempt to enjoin, delay, impede or otherwise interfere with or limit the scope of the arbitration or the powers of the Arbitral Tribunal; and

(b) the award of the Arbitral Tribunal will be final and conclusive and there will

be no appeal therefrom whatsoever to any court, tribunal or other authority.

3. The Arbitral Tribunal has the jurisdiction to deal with all matters relating to a

Dispute including, without limitation, the jurisdiction:

(a) to determine any question of law, including equity; (b) to determine any question of fact, including questions of good faith,

dishonesty or fraud; (c) to determine any question as to the Arbitral Tribunal’s jurisdiction; (d) to order any party to furnish further details, whether factual or legal, of that

Party’s case; (e) to proceed in the arbitration notwithstanding the failure or refusal of any

Party to comply with these rules or with the Arbitral Tribunal’s orders or directions, or to attend any meeting or hearing, but only after giving that Party written notice the Arbitral Tribunal intends to do so;

97

(f) to receive and take into account such written or oral evidence tendered by the Parties as the Arbitral Tribunal determines is relevant, whether or not admissible in law;

(g) to make one or more interim awards including, without limitation, orders to

secure any amount relating to the Dispute; (h) to order the Parties to produce to the Arbitral Tribunal and to each other

for inspection, and to supply copies of any documents or classes of documents in their possession, power or control that the Arbitral Tribunal determines to be relevant; and

Appointment of Arbitral Tribunal 5. As used in these rules, the term “Arbitral Tribunal” means the Sole Arbitrator appointed under Section 7 (Appointment of Arbitral Tribunal) of this Schedule “I” (Arbitration) or the Arbitral Tribunal appointed under Section 8 (Appointment of Arbitral Tribunal) of this Schedule “I” (Arbitration), as the case may be. 6.

The claimant and the respondent may agree in writing upon the appointment of a single Arbitrator who will determine the Dispute acting alone (the “Sole Arbitrator”) or upon the appointment of a three (3) member Arbitral Tribunal.
