2.3 Service Level Exceptions

In addition to Scheduled Downtime, Contractor shall not be responsible for a failure to meet any SLR to the extent that such failure is not caused in whole or in part by the Contractor.

2.4 Changed Service Level Requirements

Changes to the SLR will occur upon mutual agreement of the parties.

At OCA’s request, the Contractor will provide to OCA the performance data recorded by the Contractor in connection with the Services for the purpose of informing OCA regarding the implementation of any such changes.

3 Service Level Monitoring and Measurement Reporting The Contractor will continuously monitor the System and the Services to identify, report, and correct SLR Failures and to ensure that the Contractor is meeting or exceeding the SLRs as required herein. The Contractor will notify OCA immediately upon Knowledge of an actual or anticipated SLR Failure. “Knowledge” means facts known by any Contractor personnel performing Services under the Agreement.

The Contractor will measure all data reasonably required by OCA to determine the Contractor’s performance of the measured Services against the applicable SLRs. Contractor will retain complete and accurate logs of all such data for the duration of the Agreement and for 24 months following expiration or termination of the Agreement.

The Contractor will provide OCA with real-time performance monitoring reports in a web-based dashboard format that depict the current conditions across the System and access to historical data and trends. Performance monitoring reports shall provide both top-level views and contextual drilldowns, as well as intuitive navigation and search mechanisms and raw data access for a broad spectrum of Authorized Users and transactions.

On or before the 10th calendar day of each calendar month or as otherwise requested by OCA, Contractor will deliver a performance measurement report to OCA containing:

· For each measured SLR and with respect to the immediately preceding calendar month, all data relating to the provision of the Services during the applicable month;

· For each measured SLR during the immediately preceding calendar month, details of the Contractor’s performance as measured against the SLRs for such Services during the applicable month;

· Details of any Scheduled Downtime which the Contractor believes has impacted the measured Services during the applicable month; and

· Any other information reasonably requested by OCA from time to time.

For any SLRs with a measurement period of longer than a month, the provision of the second item listed above shall apply for the calendar month on which the final date of the measurement period for such SLR falls.

Upon OCA’s request, the Contractor will provide OCA data and details for measured SLRs in an OCA-approved form and format containing:

· All data relating to the provision of the measured SLR during the applicable day;

· Details of the Contractor’s performance as measured against the SLRs during the applicable day;

· Details of any measured SLRs that were supposed to be performed during the applicable day that were not fully performed as required; and

· Details of any measured SLRs that were supposed to have been performed during a previous day but were not fully performed as required on that day, and the status of such measured Services.

4 Notification of Problems If Contractor becomes aware of any Problem, Contractor will:

(i) provide OCA with prompt notice of such Problem (no later than 2 days after discovery), including a description of the Problem and its potential impacts to the System and Services;

(ii) meet with OCA (no later than 4 days after discovery) to formulate and implement an action plan to resolve such Problem;

(iii) immediately take steps to resolve the Problem; and

(iv) perform a Root Cause Analysis (no later than 30 days after discovery).

4.1 Reimbursement

For each failure to meet an SLR that is categorized as critical during a Measurement Period, Contractor shall remit reimbursements to OCA in the amount of 8% of the then-current quarterly Charges within 30 days from such quarter.

The maximum amount of SLR reimbursements in any rolling 12-month period during the SOW shall not exceed 18% of the Charges applicable to such Contract Year. If Contractor fails to achieve Critical SLRs more than three times in any rolling 6-month period, Contractor shall be deemed to be in default of the Agreement.

If Contractor fails to achieve the performance target of any Monitored SLR in any two out of six Measurement Periods, such Monitored SLR shall automatically convert to a Critical SLR and shall remain a Critical SLR until Contractor has achieved the Performance Targets for such SLR for four consecutive Measurement Periods, then such Critical SLR shall automatically revert to a Monitored SLR.

Following Contractor’s failure to meet an SLR, Contractor shall perform a Root Cause Analysis.
