In addition to any Deliverable Credit payable by Supplier in accordance with the Work Order if Supplier fails to meet the date specified for the Critical Deliverable, Supplier shall not be entitled to any further compensation beyond the agreed to Charge associated with the Critical Deliverable for the additional work associated with completing such Critical Deliverable after such date.

5.4

Change Orders. In the event of any changes to an executed Work Order, including changes to the description of the applicable Project, or any functional or technical requirements or acceptance criteria, Supplier shall promptly prepare a draft change order that describes such changes to the executed Work Order. Such change orders shall: (a) reflect LS&Co.’s requested changes; and (b) propose reasonable adjustments, if any, to the schedule and delivery dates described in the applicable Work Order, the date by which each Deliverable is to be completed, if applicable, and the estimated or fixed fees for the applicable Work Order.

4. PROJECT SUPPORT

•

Activities in the above roles & responsibility matrix stated in Statement of Work, such as Major upgrades, migrations, Hardware Refreshes, Evaluation of new tools & technologies, will be considered part of project support.

Projects performed by Supplier will fall into one of the following categories:

1. Steady State Projects

2. Project Pool Hour Projects

3. Major Projects

1. STEADY STATE PROJECTS

Steady State Projects are Projects of less than or equal to 40 hours that:

•

are capable of being performed by the Steady State Staff (i.e., the Steady State Staff possess the appropriate skillsets to perform the Project); and

•

Will not impact Supplier’s ability to meet applicable Service Level Agreements, as mutually agreed by the Parties’ respective Service Tower leads, taking into account the current and planned workload capacity of the applicable Steady State Staff resources).

•

The total hours allocated to Steady State Projects in any given month cannot exceed 5% of the then current total monthly Steady State Staff FTE hours allocated for each Service Tower


LS&Co. – Attachment 2.3.1 – Description of Services – Information Technology Services – Network Services		Page 12

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

EXECUTION VERSION

Examples of work performed as Steady State Projects are system upgrades, hardware and software refreshes, and equipment installations and modifications across Service Towers. The total hours allocated to Steady State Projects in any given month cannot exceed 5% of the then current total monthly Steady State Staff FTE hours allocated for each Service Tower (the “Steady State Cap”). For example, if there are 20 FTEs comprising the Steady State Staff for NOC Services, the Steady State Cap for the NOC Service Tower for the month would equal 3,200 hours x 5% = 160 (assuming a 4 week month at 40 hours/week). LS&Co. will not receive an invoice credit if the hours used for Steady State Projects for a given month are less than the Steady State Cap.

Steady State Projects are included in the Base Fees and will not incur additional charges. LS&Co. may, in its discretion, allocate Project Pool Hours for the completion of any Steady State Project in excess of the Steady State Cap. LS&Co. may not split a longer duration Project (i.e., a Project in excess of 40 hours) into multiple smaller Projects in order to use up any unused hours for the month.

The prioritization of Steady State Projects will be handled by the Operating Committee as part of the Services Governance between LS&Co. and Supplier. If LS&Co. determines that a Steady State Project will take priority over achievement of a Service Level Agreement for a given month, LS&Co. will issue a written Service Level exception to the Service Provider. The total projects hours available from the steady state resource pool is 840 hrs. / year spread evenly across each month

2. PROJECT POOL HOURS PROJECTS

Project Pool Hours Projects are Projects greater than 40 hours in duration that are performed by the Project Pool Staff. Project Pool Hours Projects may also include Projects of equal to or less than 40 hours in duration that exceed the Steady State Cap.

These will be further sub-divided into

Network related infrastructure led projects

Supplier will provide the infrastructure Project Pool hours to LS&Co. each year for a 5 year period, based on the Project forecasts provided by LS&Co. Currently this pool constitutes of 5,000 for network i.e. total of 4,160 project hour/year that can be leveraged for network related infrastructure led projects This Project Pool will be available based on priorities established by LS&Co. and communicated to Service Provider on a weekly basis. Service Provider will provide an estimate of the Project Pool hours required for each Project Pool Hours Project by Skillset Category for review and approval by LS&Co. LS&Co. will draw down these hours over time, and such use will be reported by Service Provider on a monthly basis.

Service Provider will initially allocate resources to the Project Pool Staff in accordance with the hours per Skillset Category as agreed below. Any skillset required outside of the Skillset Categories will be made available to LS&Co. outside of the Project Pool, in accordance with the rate card submitted.

Westlake – 1 resource (Data), India—1 resource (Voice)

•

Apart from the above 4,160 hrs. Annually as dedicated for only projects, there is an additional 840 hrs. annually for projects under NOC support which can be utilized within the steady state resource pool

Application-led projects

This pool is to meet with customers/application teams to identify requirements, sizing, and costing of new and changes to existing environments. Any application-led projects which can be covered within the 5000 hours/ year mentioned under infrastructure-led projects will not lead to additional cost. However if the demand from an application-led project exceeds the 5000 project hours, the same will be performed as a separate project under time and material using the project rate card

3. MAJOR PROJECTS

Once the business requirements have been defined, the Scheduler will schedule the job in the tools i.e. Tivoli Workload Scheduler.

•

Batch job related tickets will be handled based on the assigned priority.

The following table illustrates some of the indicative tasks and their owners for all job scheduling activities. This table is only a sample and will be fine-tuned based on the individual customer requirements and delivery model.

Any Infrastructure led Activity in the above roles & responsibility matrix stated in this Statement of work such as Major upgrades, gathering of new business requirements, migrations, Hardware refresh’s, Evaluation of new tools & technologies would be considered as part of project support. All project work related to business or application demand shall be excluded from this section.

Example of future projects identified by LS&Co.

LS&Co. engineering is working on a strategy to simplify our branch office strategies. Under this new model all data would be centralized at regional datacenter locations by implementing VMware and WAN Accelerators to cache data locally in the field sites. Supplier will be expected to lead the implementation and data migrations

Meet with customers to identify requirements, sizing, and costing of new and changes to existing environments (example of a business/application led project)

Implementation of SAP HANA and Sybase IQ

Projects performed by Supplier will fall into one of the following categories:

•

Steady State Projects

Major Projects

1.	STEADY STATE PROJECTS

Steady State Projects are Projects of less than or equal to 40 hours that:

•

Are capable of being performed by the Steady State Staff (i.e., the Steady State Staff possess the appropriate skillsets to perform the Project); and

•

The total hours allocated to Steady State Projects in any given month cannot exceed 5% of the then current total monthly Steady State Staff FTE hours allocated for each Service Tower

Examples of work performed as Steady State Projects are system upgrades, hardware and software refreshes, and equipment installations and modifications across Service Towers. The total hours allocated to Steady State Projects in any given month cannot exceed 5% of the then current total monthly Steady State Staff FTE hours allocated for each Service Tower (the “Steady State Cap”). For example, if there are 20 FTEs comprising the Steady State Staff for SOC Services, the Steady State Cap for the SOC Service Tower for the month would equal 3,200 hours x 5% = 160 (assuming a 4 week month at 40 hours/week). LS&Co. will not receive an invoice credit if the hours used for Steady State Projects for a given month are less than the Steady State Cap.

The prioritization of Steady State Projects will be handled by the Operating Committee as part of the Services Governance between LS&Co. and Supplier If LS&Co. determines that a Steady State Project will take priority over achievement of a Service Level Agreement for a given month, LS&Co. will issue a written Service Level exception to the Service Provider.

The total projects hours available from the steady state resource pool is 1500 hrs./year spread evenly across each month

2.	PROJECT POOL HOURS PROJECTS

These will be further sub-divided into

Purpose: This Exhibit describes the Services to be performed for LS&Co. by Supplier pursuant to the Agreement.

2.	Service Desk Description

Supplier as a Service Provider to LS&Co. will provide Global Tier 1 IT Service Desk Services to LS&Co. identified Corporate and Retail IT Users.

The following items outline the primary goals for the Global IT Service desk:

1)	Listen to the customer’s incident / request. Communicate with them in a manner that the incident / request are understood and will make an attempt to resolve the reported incident / request.

2)	Document the incident/request in the LS&Co. Service Management system, while collecting/validating their data.

For Incidents, refer to the established knowledge base to review solutions for the problem. Check to determine if there’s a known outage / service impact that the customer may be reporting. Work with the customer on the phone to execute the solution. This may include remotely administering their computer, with the customer’s permission. Check with the customer to validate the solution has taken place and that they are satisfied with the solution.

4)	For requests, refer to the established knowledge base to review solutions to satisfy the request. Check with the customer to validate the solution has taken place and that they are satisfied with the solution.

If the customer incident/ request comes in via other methods (i.e. Instant Message, Email, etc.), use Step 3 and execute the same, calling the customer to complete their request or fix their incident. If there’s enough information via the other communication, the solution may be executed before a call is made.

6)	The expectation is that incidents are resolved on first contact, meaning the customer remains on the phone with the technician while the incident is resolved. Escalations to higher levels must take place within 30 minutes of customer contact.

7)	The expectation is that requests are resolved on first contact, meaning the customer remains on the phone with the technician while the request is fulfilled. Escalations to higher levels must take place within 30 minutes of customer contact.

EXECUTION VERSION

2.	SERVICE LEVELS.

2.1

Performance of Services. As of the applicable Commencement Date (or as otherwise specified in this Exhibit), Supplier shall be responsible for and shall perform the Services in accordance with the Service Levels. Supplier shall perform all Services that do not have defined Service Levels in a manner and at levels that equal or exceed the level of service being provided internally by LS&Co. or through a third party prior to the Effective Date, including with respect to accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, and responsiveness.

2.2

Critical Service Levels. Critical Service Levels are of particular importance to LS&Co.’s business. A Service Level Failure with respect to a Critical Service Level (each a “Critical Service Level Failure”) shall entitle LS&Co. to receive a Service Level Credit.

2.3

Other Service Levels. Service Levels that are not Critical Service Levels are nevertheless viewed as important to measuring the efficiency and effectiveness of Supplier’s relationship and evaluating Supplier’s performance relative to LS&Co.’s expectations and historical accomplishments. Supplier’s performance of the other Service Levels will be taken into account by LS&Co. in the evaluation of LS&Co.’s other rights under the Agreement. For clarity, such Service Levels shall not result in a Service Level Credit.

2.4

Additional Service Levels. With respect to each Service Category and Region, and during the 12-month period following the applicable Commencement Date, LS&Co. may, upon 30 days’ prior notice to Supplier, add additional Service Levels that will be applicable to Supplier’s performance of the applicable Services in order to achieve a fair, accurate, and consistent measurement of Supplier’s performance of those Services; provided, that any such additional Service Levels shall be measurable (using the existing Measuring Tools), objective and include a specified and reasonable Performance Target (the “Additional Criteria”); and provided further, however, that where there is no historical or other data to support the Performance Target specified for such a Service Level that Performance Target shall be subject to validation pursuant to Section 5. Unless Supplier objects to such Service Level (on the basis that it does not meet the Additional Criteria or is otherwise commercially unreasonable) within the 30-day notice period (“Objection Notice”), the Service Levels shall be deemed incorporated in the Agreement after the expiration of the 30-day notice period and the applicable Service Level Definitions Document shall be amended accordingly. Promptly after the receipt by LS&Co. of a valid Objection Notice, the LS&Co. Global Lead for the applicable Service Category and the Supplier Global Lead for the applicable Service Category shall meet (in person or by telephone) to discuss revisions to the proposed Service Level to ensure that it meets the Additional Criteria. To the extent that the LS&Co. Global Lead for the applicable Service Category and the Supplier Global Lead for the applicable Service Category are able to agree on acceptable changes to the Service Level these changes shall be documented in writing signed by both of them and such revised Service Level shall become effective 30 days after both Global Leads have executed the document reflecting that agreement. To the extent that the applicable Global Leads are unable to agree on revisions to the Service Level, the outstanding issues shall be escalated to the appropriate governance committee set forth in Exhibit 5 for resolution.

3.	MEASUREMENT OF SERVICE LEVEL COMPLIANCE.

3.1

Commencement of Measurement; Measurement Interval. Supplier shall: (a) begin measuring its performance of the Services against the Service Levels on the applicable Commencement Date; and (b) measure its performance of the Services against the Service Levels during each Measurement Interval.

3.2

Measuring Tools. Prior to the applicable Commencement Date, Supplier shall implement the Measuring Tools detailed in the applicable Service Level Definitions Document and such other Measuring Tools that are required for Supplier to measure and report on Supplier’s performance of the Services against the Service Levels, which Measuring Tools may include LS&Co.’s Systems. Supplier shall provide LS&Co. and its designees with the information and access to the Measuring Tools upon request for inspection and verification purposes. Supplier shall ensure that the systems used by Supplier to measure its performance of the Services against the Service Levels shall be compatible with the software and equipment used by LS&Co. which may deliver records to, receive records from, or otherwise interact with such systems. Any addition to the Measuring Tools, and any change to the Measuring Tools, shall be subject to LS&Co.’s prior approval and no change shall be permitted to the Services, Service Levels or the Charges as a result of any such addition of, or change to, the Measuring Tools.

EXECUTION VERSION

3.3

Failure to Complete Measurement. If Supplier fails to measure its performance of the Services against a particular Service Level so that it is not possible to confirm whether the Service Level has been achieved for the Measurement Interval, and Supplier cannot otherwise demonstrate its compliance with that Service Level, then such failure shall be deemed to be a Service Level Failure.

3.4

Review of Measuring Tools. On an annual basis, Supplier shall review the Measuring Tools and assess whether any changes in such Measuring Tools are required to collect and accurately reflect Supplier performance and related data prospectively. Supplier shall promptly notify LS&Co. of any recommended changes in the Measuring Tools as a result of this assessment.

3.5

Regional Measurement. The methodology described in this Exhibit 3 applies uniformly to all LS&Co. Service Locations receiving Services. However, except to the extent otherwise specified in the applicable Service Level Definitions Document, the measurement of Service Level performance, the determination of Supplier’s performance against and compliance with each Service Level during the applicable Measurement Interval; and the determination of Supplier’s achievement or failure to achieve such Service Level shall be made separately as to the Services provided to, or on behalf of, Service Recipients located within each of the regions specified below (each, a “Region”):

(a)

LSA (The Americas, North and South);

(b)

LSE (All of Europe); and

(c)

AMA (Asia, the Middle East and Africa).

With respect to the foregoing, (i) if a Service Level measures the percent of all invoices processed in accordance with requirements in a given month, then the number of invoices and the percentage compliance, will be measured separately for each Region; (ii) since the total monthly Charges for Services within each Region may vary, the At Risk Amount, while uniform as a percentage([****]^*), may vary as a dollar amount; and (iii) the initial allocations of weighting percentages, and the rules under this Exhibit 3 regarding their reallocation, will apply separately to each Region. With respect to the information technology Service Category, the Parties shall, during the Knowledge Acquisition phase and working in good faith, review the application of the above Regions to the information technology Service Category. To the extent that LS&Co., acting reasonably, determines after the completion of Knowledge Acquisition that refinements or modifications to the Region definitions for the information technology Services are required to better align the reporting of the Service Levels for the information technology Services, the Parties shall align the Region definitions for the information technology Services and the reporting of the information technology Services to reflect those requirements.

4.	REPORTING.

4.1

Service Level Reports. Supplier shall provide to LS&Co., as part of Supplier’s monthly performance reports, a set of reports to verify Supplier’s performance and compliance with the Service Levels (each, a “Service Level Report”). Each Service Level Report shall: (a) be provided to LS&Co. within 10 business days after the end of each calendar month; (b) specify Supplier’s performance against and compliance with each Service Level during the applicable Measurement Interval; (c) specify those Service Levels that Supplier failed to achieve; and (d) contain the details of Supplier’s historical performance for each Service Level (e.g., performance average in each of the prior Contract Years as well as the prior 12 months). Supplier shall provide access to such information online and in real-time, where technically feasible, at any time during the Term and Termination Assistance Period.

5.	SERVICE LEVEL VALIDATION.

5.1

Service Level Baselining Process. For each Critical Service Level identified in the Service Level Definitions Documents as being “subject to baseline,” Supplier shall review the metrics achieved for those Service Levels (“Existing Performance”) during the knowledge acquisition phase of Transition (“Initial Review Period”). If prior to the expiration of the Initial Review Period Supplier provides LS&Co. with notice that Supplier wants to measure the actual performance of a Critical Service Levels identified in the Service Level Definitions Documents as being “subject to baseline” (each such Critical Service Level a “Validation Service Level”)


LS&Co. – Exhibit 3 – Service Level Management		Page 4

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

EXECUTION VERSION

Supplier shall measure and report the performance of that Validation Service Level for a period of 3 months after the applicable Commencement Date (unless the Parties otherwise agree to a longer period) (“Validation Period”). After the expiration of the Validation Period for a Validation Service Level, Supplier shall promptly provide to LS&Co.: (a) the Service Level performance for that Validation Service Level during each month of the Validation Period; and (b) the average performance with respect to that Validation Service Level during the Validation Period (excluding any such measurement that arises as a result of Supplier’s failure to perform the Services) (“Validated Average”). If any measurement during the Validation Period is missing, then the missing measurement shall be constructed using the average of the actual remaining measurements during the Validation Period.

5.2

Target Adjustments. If the Validated Average for a Validation Service Level is: (a) no more than 10% lower than the Performance Target for the Validation Service Level, then the Validated Average shall be deemed to be the Performance Target, and the Parties shall amend the applicable Service Level Definitions Document accordingly; and (b) more than 10% lower than the Performance Target for the Validation Service Level, then the LS&Co. Global Lead for the applicable Service Category and the Supplier Global Lead for the applicable Service Category shall meet, and negotiate in good faith, either Changes to the Services or method of delivery of the Services so that Supplier can perform the Services in accordance with such Validation Service Level or an adjustment to the applicable Performance Target for such Validation Service Level, and, upon the agreement of the LS&Co. Global Lead for the applicable Service Category and the Supplier Global Lead for the applicable Service Category the Parties shall amend the applicable Service Level Definitions Document to reflect such agreement; except that: (i) the Performance Target shall not be lower than the Validated Average; and (ii) in no event shall the Performance Target be adjusted by more than 20% from the applicable Performance Target agreed to at the Effective Date. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall apply on and from the end of the Validation Period.

6.	FAILURE TO PERFORM; SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS.

6.1

Weighting Factors. LS&Co. shall assign a number of percentage points to each Critical Service Level (“Weighting Factor”), except that the maximum Weighting Factor allocated among all the Critical Service Levels shall not exceed, in the aggregate, [****]^* percentage points. The Weighting Factors in effect as of the Effective Date are identified in the applicable Service Level Definitions Document, and LS&Co. may reallocate such Weighting Factors by providing Supplier with 60 days’ prior notice.

6.2

Service Level Credits. Each Critical Service Level Failure shall result in Supplier owing a Service Level Credit to LS&Co.; provided, however, that LS&Co. shall not be entitled to a Service Level Credit for a Service Level Failure that occurs during the [****]* period after the applicable Commencement Date. Service Level Credits shall not limit LS&Co.’s right to recover other damages in excess of the Service Level Credits incurred by LS&Co. as a result of such failure or limit LS&Co.’s remedies for Supplier’s failure to achieve a Service Level; provided, that the amount of any Losses payable to LS&Co. in connection with the applicable Service Level Failure will be reduced by the amount of any Service Level Credit paid by Supplier that relates to the Service Level Failure giving rise to such Losses.

6.3

Service Level Credit Calculation. Each Service Level Credit shall be calculated as follows:

Service Level Credit = A X (B / 100)

Where:

(a)

A is the At Risk Amount for the month in which the Service Level Failure occurred; and

(b)

B is the Weighting Factor for the Critical Service Level for which the Service Level Failure occurred.

For example, assume that Supplier fails to meet the Service Level Target for a Critical Service Level and (i) the Monthly Charges for the month in which the Service Level Failure occurred was $100,000, (ii) the Weighting Factor for such Critical Service Level is 60 percent, and (iii) the At Risk Amount is [****]^* percent. The Service Level Credit due to LS&Co. for such Service Level Failure would be computed as follows:


LS&Co. – Exhibit 3 – Service Level Management		Page 5

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED – REDACTED COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

EXECUTION VERSION

A = [****]^* [the monthly Charges multiplied by the At Risk Amount];

Multiplied by:

B = 0.6 (60/100) [the Weighting Factor divided by 100];

Equals

= $9,000 [the Service Level Credit.]

6.4

Multiple Service Level Failures; At Risk Amount. If more than one Service Level Failure has occurred in a single month, the sum of the corresponding Service Level Credits shall be credited to LS&Co.; provided that in no event shall the Service Level Credits credited to LS&Co. with respect to all Service Level Failures incurred in a single month exceed the At Risk Amount.

6.5

Application of Credits. The total amount of Service Level Credits which Supplier shall be obligated to pay to LS&Co. with respect to Service Level Failures shall be included on the invoice in the month following the month in which the Service Level Failure giving rise to such Service Level Credit occurred. If no amounts are due and payable to Supplier under such invoice, then Supplier shall pay the amount of the Service Level Credit to LS&Co. within 45 days of that Service Level Credit becoming due.

6.6

Service Level Improvement Plan. Upon the occurrence of a Service Level Failure, Supplier shall identify the cause of such Service Level Failure, and Supplier shall develop and submit to LS&Co. a plan to cure and remediate the cause of such Service Level Failure (“Service Level Improvement Plan”) within 10 days after such Service Level Failure (or such other time period agreed to by the Parties). Upon LS&Co.’s approval of the remediation procedures set forth in the Service Level Improvement Plan, Supplier shall promptly implement such procedures.

7.	CHANGES TO SERVICE LEVELS.

7.1

Addition or Deletion. LS&Co. expects the Service Levels to develop and evolve to reflect LS&Co.’s business and LS&Co.’s changing needs (including the completion of Projects). Accordingly, upon 60 days’ prior notice, LS&Co. may adjust the Weighting Factor assigned to each Service Level and those Service Levels that are subject to a Service Level Credit; provided, that LS&Co. may not adjust each Weighting Factor more than once in each calendar quarter; and provided further, that the parameters in Section 6.1 shall apply to any such adjustments. At any time throughout the Term, either LS&Co. or Supplier may propose to add or remove a Service Level, or change the Performance Target for a Service Level and how the Service Level is calculated; provided that no such change shall be effective until agreed upon by the Parties.

7.2

Continuous Improvement. The Parties agree that the Service Levels shall be subject to continuous improvement, and the Parties expect and intend that certain Service Levels shall be improved over time. Accordingly, Supplier shall research and propose reasonable improvements to the Services (with appropriate modifications to the applicable Service Levels) at least once each year during the Term. At a minimum, such improvements (and modifications to the applicable Service Levels) shall be consistent with industry best practices for comparable services. Such improvement shall not be implemented or become effective until agreed upon by the Parties.

8.	SERVICE LEVEL EXCEPTIONS.

Supplier shall be excused from a failure to achieve a Service Level solely to the extent, and during the time, that Supplier is directly precluded from performing that obligation or achieving that Service Level as a result of:

(a)

LS&Co.’s (or a LS&Co. Agents’, excluding Supplier and Supplier Agents) failure to perform or delay in performing, its specified and written obligations (for example, obligations that refer directly to LS&Co. in the form of “LS&Co. shall” or directly to a LS&Co. Agent in the form of “LS&Co. Agent shall”) under the Agreement;

(b)

Service or Supplier Staff reductions requested by LS&Co. and agreed to by the Parties in accordance with the Contract Change Process; provided, that Supplier has previously notified LS&Co. in writing as part of such Contract Change Process that the implementation of such Service or Supplier Staff reductions would result in such failure to meet the Service Level;

(d)

Services performed during the execution of the Disaster Recovery Plan, the execution of which is in support of a LS&Co.-declared disaster, to the extent that the implementation of the Disaster Recovery Plan prevents Supplier from accessing Systems or Supplier Staff necessary to provide the Services in accordance with the Service Levels; provided that Supplier shall not obtain such relief if the Disaster Recovery Plan is designed to ensure the provision of the Services in accordance with the Service Levels or the implementation of the Disaster Recovery Plan was as a result of an act or omission of Supplier. Supplier shall use all reasonable efforts to continue to perform the affected Services in accordance with the applicable Service Levels in the event of the implementation of the Disaster Recovery Plan;

(e)

an LS&Co. Third Party Contractor’s failure to perform, or delay in performing, its specified and written obligations in accordance with the terms of that LS&Co. Third Party Contractor’s agreement with LS&Co., where Supplier’s ability to maintain the Service Level is directly dependent upon strict performance by the LS&Co. Third Party Contractor, and except to the extent that Supplier is responsible for managing that LS&Co. Third Party Contractor’s performance and has failed to so manage that performance;

(f)

LS&Co.’s exercise of its right to step-in under Section 13.5 of the Agreement, but only for such affected Services and only during the period of time between a Step-In Date and the corresponding Step-Out Date;

(g)

For the Services billed pursuant to Section 5.6 of Exhibit 4, LS&Co.’s failure to agree, pursuant to the process set forth in Section 5.6 of Exhibit 4, to permit an increase in the number of Supplier Staff engaged by Supplier to perform that specific Service in order to cover a material increase (as the nature of such material increase is detailed in Section 5.6 of Exhibit 4) in the consumption of such Service by LS&Co.; provided that Supplier has previously notified LS&Co. in writing as part of such process that the failure to increase the Supplier Staff would result in such failure to meet the specific Service Level;

(each a “Relief Event”) and provided that Supplier: (x) promptly provides LS&Co. with advance notice identifying in detail the Relief Event in question, the nature of LS&Co.’s failure to perform such Relief Event (where applicable) and the relevant Supplier obligation or Service Levels that is at risk; (y) continues without interruption to use all reasonable efforts to perform its obligation notwithstanding the occurrence of the Relief Event; and (z) re-commences performance of the obligation, or the affected Service in accordance with this Agreement or the Service Levels, immediately upon LS&Co. curing the Relief Event.

Definition

Supplier will respond and manage all incidents that are escalated to them for the Systems that they are responsible for based on the following severity levels and Incident response time schedule:

• Severity 1 (Urgent) – System down, business outage, or immediate work stoppage that threatens current and future business operations of LS&Co.

• Severity 2 (High) – High-impact problem where production is proceeding, but in a significantly impaired fashion; an Incident with a time-sensitive issue important to long-term productivity that is not causing immediate work stoppage.

• Severity 3 (Medium) – Important issue that does not have significant current productivity impact. In addition severity 3 includes specific outage scenarios as identified and agreed to by LS&Co.


HRIS KPI02: Incident Management and Resolution

		• Severity 4 (Low) – Minor inconvenience requiring ultimate, but not immediate, restoration. In addition severity 4 includes specific outage scenarios as identified and agreed to by LS&Co.

Method

Data Capture		Incident tracking will be recorded and reported by Supplier. Any service ticket that does not reflect a record of acknowledgement to track against will be considered a failure. To remove any doubt, this means if a service ticket is opened and no updates are provided within the ticket as to its status until closure is performed, even if closure is performed within a reasonable timeframe, it will be considered an acknowledgement failure. Example: A Severity 2 (High) ticket is opened at 2:30 p.m. and closed at 4:30 p.m.; no updates are provided for the ticket until the 4:30 p.m. close time. Although it has been closed in a timely manner, it is considered an acknowledgement failure because it was not updated in a way that allows the service metric of a 60-minute acknowledgement time to be measured. Acknowledgement means that Supplier performs necessary communications and updates to the Service Ticket to ensure LS&Co. is aware of the time work on the Incident was started as well as action taken. Severity 1 and 2 incidents are to be worked on 24x7 until workaround or service restoration is achieved. Severity 3 and 4 incidents are to be worked on a business-hours basis until workaround or service restoration is achieved.

Measurement Interval		Per incident.

Method of Calculation		(1) Number of incidents at each severity level acknowledged within the timeframes specified in the Metrics section below divided by number of Incidents at each correlating severity level. (2) Number of incidents at each severity level resolved or with a workaround in place within the timeframes specified in the service metric section below divided by number of Incidents at each correlating severity level.
