5. Service Levels
5.1 General. The Contractor must use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services Available at all times to Subscribers during the Order Term, except for scheduled downtime described below or any Unavailability covered by the Contract’s Excusable Delay clause or by this Service Levels section.
5.2 SLAs for the Services. This Service Attachment includes Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”) that will be used to monitor and manage the Contractor’s performance of the Services.
The minimum SLAs are listed below, but the Contractor may supplement them with additional SLAs that are generally applicable to its other Services customers, so long as those additional SLAs cover parameters not addressed in the below SLAs or are more stringent than those listed below. Modifications to the SLAs provided below may only be made by the written agreement of the State and the Contractor, except with respect to SLAs the Contractor offers generally to other customers that are more stringent or in addition to those below.
5.3 Availability. “Availability” or “Available” means the Subscriber’s users are able to access a Service and use all material features and functions of the Service effectively and efficiently and the Service meets all the SLAs contained in this Service Attachment. “Unavailable” or “Unavailability” means the Subscriber’s users are unable to access the Service or use all the Service’s features and functions effectively and efficiently or they do not otherwise meet all SLAs in this Service Attachment, subject to the following:
5.3.1 A Service may be Unavailable to a Subscriber’s users during scheduled downtime.
Contractor must give Subscribers at least eight hours’ notice via the Services of any scheduled downtime. Scheduled downtime will only occur for less than one hour between 10:00 p.m.
Fridays and 6:00 a.m. Mondays Eastern Time, and not more than once monthly. The Contractor may change the scheduled downtime to other non-business hours upon reasonable notice to the affected Subscribers. Scheduled downtime will not be considered times when the Services are Unavailable.
5.3.2 In addition to scheduled downtime, the following will not be considered times when a Service is Unavailable:
(i) Outages resulting from a Subscriber’s equipment or its Internet service provider;
(ii) A Subscriber’s negligence or breach of its material obligations under this Contract; and
(iii) Excusable Delays, as provided for and handled in accordance with the Contract.
5.4 SLA Credits.
The “Target Availability Level” is the Service’s Availability level that the Contractor plans to meet or exceed during each calendar month. The “Service Availability Level” is the number of hours during a particular period that the Service was Available to the Subscriber, excluding scheduled downtime permitted above, divided by the total number of hours during such period. The Target Availability Level is provided in the next section.
The Contractor must actively monitor and report to the State and each Subscriber any and all Unavailability of a Service monthly, along with reasonable details regarding such Unavailability.
The Contractor also must provide each Subscriber that uses the Service a credit within 30 days
Epilogue Systems, Inc. MCSA0107 Service Attachment 1 Page 4 of any calendar month in which the Service Availability Level is below the Target Availability Level, calculated as set forth herein.
The applicable credit will be calculated as follows: If the Contractor fails to meet the Target Availability Level by up to four hours, each affected Subscriber will be entitled to the equivalent of one day’s fee for the Service. That is, if the fee is an annual fee, the credit would be 1/365th of that annual fee, or if it is a monthly fee, the Subscriber would be entitled to 1/30th of its monthly fee as a credit. Further, the credit will double if the Target Availability Level is missed by more than four but less than eight hours for any calendar month. If the failure to meet the Target Availability Level is greater than eight hours, the Subscriber will be entitled to the entire fee applicable to that month.
Any such credits must be paid to the Subscriber within 30 days after the month in which the Contractor fails to meet the Target Availability Level. The credit will appear on the affected Subscriber’s next invoice, or if no future invoices are forthcoming or if the Subscriber so requests, the Contractor will issue a check to the Subscriber as payment within 30 days of the request.
If the Contractor fails to meet the Target Availability Level for three consecutive calendar months, any affected Subscriber may terminate any or all Orders for that Service for cause pursuant to the Contract.
5.5 Specific SLAs.
Service Level Metric Quarterly Level SaaS Offering Availability 99.5%

EXHIBIT II
Epilogue Systems Support Policy and Service Level Agreement
Epilogue Support Policy and Service Level Agreement Technical Support Hours Epilogue Systems will provide technical support during normal working hours from 9AM to 5PM
ET.
Severity Level Designation The customer will reasonably self-diagnose their support issue and recommend to Epilogue an appropriate severity level designation. Epilogue will validate the customer’s severity level designation or notify the customer of a proposed change in the severity level designation to a higher or lower level with justification. In the event of a conflict regarding the appropriate severity level designation, each party shall promptly escalate such conflict to its management team for resolution through consultation between the parties’ management, during which time the parties shall continue to handle the support issue in accordance with Epilogue’s severity level designation.
Response and Escalation Response Time is the period from the time when a customer logs the case with Epilogue until Epilogue responds to the customer. Because of the widely varying nature of issues, it is not possible to provide specific resolution commitments.
In the event of a severity level 1 or 2 issue, if the customer is not satisfied with the progress of the case, the customer may escalate the case to Epilogue management.
Customer Response Commitment The customer will respond to Epilogue requests for additional information and implement recommended solutions in a timely manner.
Support Scope Epilogue will support functionality that is delivered by Epilogue as part of the service. For all other functionality, and/or issues or errors in the service caused by issues, errors and/or changes in customer’s systems and/or third party products or services, Epilogue may assist the customer and its third party providers in diagnosing and resolving issues or errors but the customer acknowledges that these matters are outside of Epilogue’s support responsibility. Service failures attributable to customer’s acts or omissions and force majeure events shall be excused.
Response Time Severity Level: High An incident that impacts a go-live date, prevents access to a key function of the application, and has no workaround. Key characteristics of a High priority issue are as follows:
• Opus is inaccessible (cannot log in or access Opus tools)
• Opus crashes repeatedly
• A main component of Opus is not functioning properly and there is no workaround
If the problem has not been resolved within one hour, Epilogue will escalate the problem across support, development, and management. The escalated problem will have higher priority than ongoing support, development or operations initiatives.
RESPONSE TIME: 2 hours
Epilogue Systems, Inc. MCSA0107 Service Attachment 1 Page 10
Severity Level: Medium An incident that is impacting Opus functionality and/or the effectiveness of the user within Opus.
Opus itself remains accessible with limitations on minor functionality.
RESPONSE TIME: 4 hours Severity Level: Low An incident that has a minimal impact on the system or effectiveness of the customer. No real issue is present preventing any work in Opus, or the issue has an easily implemented workaround.
RESPONSE TIME: 1 Business Day
Availability Service Availability OPUS Service Availability commitment for a given calendar month is 99.5%.
Service Availability is calculated per month as follows: ((Total – Unplanned Outage – Planned Maintenance) / (Total – Planned Maintenance)) X 100 > 99.5% Planned Maintenance Epilogue updates are pushed to production after working hours. These updates happen once every one to two weeks. Scheduled downtime allocated for these updates is no more than 30 minutes.
Epilogue reserves 4 hours of non-working hour downtime for larger updates per quarter. Epilogue will notify customers 72 hours prior to any planned maintenance longer than 30 minutes Unplanned Outage Unplanned outage is total minutes unavailable in the month outside of the planned maintenance window
