Vendor will be responsible for performing network design; planning network expansion; documenting technical procedures; resolving problems escalated by the NOC; addressing architecture, implementation and performance issues; providing cost reduction recommendations; and performing continuous process improvement.

Network Engineering. Traffic Engineering will be migrated as set forth below. This shall include sizing of trunks for interconnection to the ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ services, operator services, SS7 and AIN and interconnection of hub-to-hub and hub-to-switch inter-city connectivity, data services, etc. For new cities (i.e., cities planned for implementation in 1999), Lucent will assume the responsibility within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date. For existing cities, Lucent will develop and present a schedule within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, with assumption of these Services in the first city within seventy-five (75) days of the Exhibit A-4 to the Confidential - Winstar/Lucent Supply Agreement - A-4-2 - Execution Version Effective Date. If Lucent cannot meet this responsibility within the timeframes specified, it shall subcontract the responsibility to WinStar. In such case, the payment to WinStar for this responsibility shall be the amount set forth in Exhibit C-5, prorated monthly (i.e., WinStar will pay Lucent that amount for the Service and Lucent will pay WinStar that same amount as a subcontractor).

Network Engineering. 2.1. Vendor agrees to provide network engineering to address operational and long-term planning issues. 2.2. Vendor shall continue to improve the network design in order to reduce risks to AOL, improve robustness, and enhance the price/performance of the transmission system. AOL shall be permitted to establish a route of last resort on the network. 2.3. Vendor shall maintain the facilities, equipment and software used to provide the Services so that they operate in accordance with their specifications (e.g., applicable vendor support release information), including (a) maintaining equipment in good operating condition, (b) undertaking repairs and preventive maintenance on equipment, including at a minimum in accordance with the applicable equipment manufacturer's recommendations, and (c) performing software maintenance, including at a minimum in accordance with the applicable software documentation and software vendor's recommendations. 2.4. Vendor agrees not to restrict traffic to and from AOL unless requested to do so by AOL or required to do so by court order or applicable law. Before restricting traffic as permitted under this Section, Vendor shall provide AOL with reasonable prior written notice of the timing, duration, scope and reasons for such restriction. 2.5. Vendor shall manage the backbone and interconnection points with other Internet providers and customers to minimize loss and delay of AOL traffic. Such management shall include creation of new interconnection points as required. 2.6. Vendor shall provide the Services via POPs whose geographical distribution and location has been agreed with AOL in advance and which, at a minimum, are dispersed according to the geographical distribution of the population in each particular territory.

Network Engineering. As soon as a city/urban area reaches a positive business case based on HLD and the municipality/city council orientation comes back favorable, the engineering phase starts. For the most efficient design, an advanced alignment with the municipality council on POP locations is supposed to take place. In the Engineering period, a street- and infrastructure survey result in the complete address database with all premises to be covered in the Homes Passed network. A Detailed Design (DD) is made for each Fiberzone and the different types of permits and approvals are requested (public domain, façade approval, syndic alignment). Regarding alignment with syndics, this is initiated as early as possible to ensure Homes Passed network is available in the entire MDU. It is the responsibility of Company to ensure agreement is reached regarding HP network. However, Operator can always help with existing syndic relationships (e.g. syndic names & contact details). See Figure 7 for a schematic overview of the roll-out process. In order to minimize lead- time, several activities are planned in parallel. Figure 7: Schematic overview of the roll-out process

Network Engineering. (a) Supplier will provide Network design and engineering functions as required to meet Gap business requirements, including planning; design; implementation planning; implementation; capacity and configuration management; optimization; efficiency tuning; Third Party Vendor coordination; ordering inclusive of preparing all required Gap Documentation and installing circuits and Equipment; conducting site surveys; and performing upgrades for Equipment. (b) Supplier will also provide engineering services as they relate to topology; performance; quality of service; projected traffic patterns; business process and drivers; administrative issues; and management process activities including Software as may be needed to perform the Services. * Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. (c) Supplier’s responsibilities to provide such Network engineering functions include the following: (1) Monitoring and tuning the total Network within the scope of Service provided under the Agreement for efficiency and cost-effectiveness on an “end-to-end” basis; all bandwidth; developing, maintaining and adhering to configuration requirements; and coordinating with other Third Party Vendors. With respect to these requirements, Supplier is expected to work cooperatively with Third Party Vendors and Gap staff to facilitate effective communication and implementation of the services. (2) Providing technical resources to support the development of a clear, concise, strategic direction for the Network within the scope of the Services. (3) Providing Gap with Network engineering consultative services in response to authorized requests in support of business requirements. (4) Providing engineering support in developing the design criteria and standards. (5) Implementing and managing performance management and monitoring tools of adequate capacity and scale so that Network devices will be under management as appropriate. This monitoring will encompass those activities required to continuously evaluate the principal performance indicators of Network operation; verify Service Levels; identify actual and potential performance impacting issues; and to establish and report on trends. (6) Tuning and managing the Network to meet business requirements and Service Levels. In the event that Supplier does not have the necessary technology or services to meet Gap’s requiremen...

Network Engineering. August Schools implements security functions in a layered approach, minimizing interactions between layers of the design and avoiding any dependence by lower layers on the functionality or correctness of higher layers. August Schools utilizes a defense-in-depth (DiD) architecture to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information systems and data, i.e. placing information systems that contain sensitive data in an internal network zone, segregated from the DMZ and other untrusted networks. August Schools synchronizes clocks of all applicable information systems to the same time protocol to enforce consistent and accurate timestamping. Security mechanisms, service levels and management requirements of all network services should be identified and included in network services agreements, whether these services are provided in-house or outsourced. August Schools business needs, local situations, laws and regulations may occasionally call for an exception to this policy or any other August Schools policy. If an exception is needed, August Schools management will determine an acceptable alternative approach.
