In addition, either Party shall be in material default hereof if it commences voluntary or involuntary winding up, or makes an assignment of substantially all its assets for the benefit of its creditors, or a receiver is appointed or a petition in bankruptcy is filed with respect to the Party and is not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days.

Appendix A
Escalation Procedures and Processes for Software Error Resolution
CLASSIFICATION OF ERRORS

All Errors reported by Customer to Vendor shall be assigned a Severity Level jointly agreed upon by Customer and Vendor. The point of contact throughout this initial Error reporting procedure shall be the applicable Vendor support representative available to Customer under the terms of this Agreement. Reported Errors shall be classified as follows:

Severity Level 1 - Severity Level 1 implies that the Application is not functioning as expected in conformity with its Documentation. Some examples of Severity Level 1 Errors are as follows:

1. Application is down and will not restart;

2. Production Software not able to communicate with external systems (including the network control center) that halts online and other processing and no Bypass is available; and

3. Application is generating a data corruption condition that halts online and other processing and no Bypass is available.

Severity Level 2 - Severity Level 2 implies that the Application is running but that Customer is unable to use major portions of the Application, and no Bypass is available. Some examples of Severity Level 2 Errors are as follows:

1. Intermittent Error in a live, production system that continues processing with no Bypass; and

2. Major functional component is unavailable with no Bypass.

Severity Level 3 - Severity Level 3 implies that the Application is operating close to normal, but there is a noncritical Error for which an operational Bypass exists for such Error. Severity Level 3 Errors will be fixed in the next scheduled Update.

Severity Level 4 - Severity Level 4 includes purely cosmetic Errors and documentation anomalies.

Out-of-Scope - A reported problem is out-of-scope when it is determined not to be related to the Application and is beyond the bounds of Vendor’s responsibility. Examples of such unrelated problems include, but are not limited too, third party applications or software, Customer hardware and cabling, power or environmental conditions, and human error.

SEVERITY LEVEL 1

Error Resolution - Immediate steps shall be taken toward solving the Error. Vendor shall work to resolve Severity Level 1 Errors on a twenty-four (24) hour basis until the Error is resolved. If required, Vendor staff shall be moved off of lower Severity Level Errors to service Severity Level 1 Errors.

Resource Commitment - When a Severity Level 1 Error is reported, Vendor shall assign all resources required to correct the Error. Work on the Error shall be reasonably continuous until a Fix is found. If system access is required, Customer shall provide a contact available to Vendor and access to its system and software for the duration of the Error correction procedures.

Completion Goal - The completion goal shall be to resolve one hundred percent (100%) of all Severity Level 1 Errors with a Fix or Bypass within eight (8) hours of receipt of the Error Report.

Escalation and Status Thresholds - When a Severity Level 1 Error Report is opened, the following escalation and status procedures shall be followed.

Hour 1 – Hour 3

1. The Error shall be resolved by Vendor first line support; or

2. The Error will be referred to the maintenance engineering group. All log files and a description of the work done by Vendor will be transferred to this group. The report will receive an Error Report number which will be entered into the SMS. The error will be passed to the maintenance engineering group via the SMS as well as by e-mail.

The Customer will be notified of the status of the Error.

Hour 3

1. The maintenance engineering point of contact will resolve the Error; or

2. It will be decided that more resources are required to work on the Error.

The Customer will be notified of the status of the Error.

Hour 4 – Hour 8

1. Vendor shall continue to work on the Error, on a twenty-four (24) hour basis, until a resolution is found. All reasonably available resources shall be used to assist the person who is responsible for the resolution of the Error; and

2. The Project Manager and Operations Support Manager shall be notified that a Severity Level 1 Error has reached a critical time frame.

SEVERITY LEVEL 2

Error Resolution - Severity Level 2 Errors will be analyzed in the order that they are reported. Severity Level 1 Errors will take priority over Severity Level 2 Errors.

Resource Commitment - Appropriate technical resources will be assigned to Severity Level 2 issues as long as Severity Level 1 Errors are not open.

Completion Goal - The completion goal will be to resolve one hundred percent (100%) of all Severity Level 2 Errors with a Fix or Bypass within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of the Error Report. If it is a Bypass, a Fix will be applied within sixty (60) days.

Escalation and Status Thresholds - When a Severity Level 2 Error Report is opened, the following escalation and status procedures will be followed.

Hour 1 – Hour 24

1. The Error shall be resolved by Vendor; or

2. The maintenance point of contact person will be contacted. All log files and a description of the work done by Vendor will be transferred to this group. An Error Report number will be assigned and entered in the trouble tracking system.

The Customer will be notified of the status at this stage.

Hour 25 - Hour 48

1. The maintenance engineering point of contact will resolve the Error; or

2. The maintenance engineer will continue working the Error until it is fixed.

3. A date will be estimated upon when this Error will be fixed.

The Customer will be notified of the status at this stage.

SEVERITY LEVEL 3

Error Resolution - Severity Level 3 errors shall be researched after Severity Level 1 and Severity Level 2 Errors. The majority of the Severity Level 3 Errors shall be scheduled for correction and be resolved as part of the next scheduled Update.

Resource Commitment - Severity Level 3 Fixes shall be included in the next scheduled Update.

Completion Goal - The completion goal and objective shall be to correct Errors in the next scheduled Update.

Escalation and Status Thresholds - The status of Severity Level 3 Errors shall be available on demand. A monthly report will be distributed that will reference any uncorrected Errors that are over ninety (90) days old.

SEVERITY LEVEL 4

Resource Commitment - Severity Level 4 Fixes shall be included in the next scheduled Update.

Completion Goal - The completion goal and objective will be to correct issues in the next scheduled Update.

Escalation and Status Thresholds - The status of Severity Level 4 Errors shall be available on demand.
