flow of work paid for at fair rates.
Both parties will co-operate to ensure that available resources are used

which the Contractor is required to perform.
5. Whilst it is Operators intention that the Contractor shall undertake

Operator will require the Contractor to perform, save as may be
established by the issue of associated Work Releases.
Furthermore, this Contract is non-exclusive and Operator reserves the
right to enter into contracts with other parties to perform similar

8. OPTIONAL RIGHTS OF OPERATOR IN EVENT OF DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR
In the event Operator is dissatisfied with the performance of
Contractor hereunder on account of unreasonably poor performance or
incompetency or other reason as a result of causes reasonably
within Contractors control, Operator shall specify in writing the
cause of dissatisfaction pursuant to Paragraph V.23., Termination
for Material Breach. Should Contractor fail or refuse to remedy
matters complained of within the period as Operator may specify in

(as determined by Operators Technical Representative at his sole
discretion) to take over all or part of the operation of
Contractor's equipment and/or its maintenance facilities either or

shall owe Contractor nothing for any time which the equipment is so
deemed incomplete, unusable, or unsafe and any such time will

and conditions hereof, under the circumstances set out in this
Paragraph IV.8., Operator may, if Contractor does not rectify such
breach within the specified period (Reference Paragraph V.23.),

BP EXPLORATION (ALASKA) INC.
NORTH SLOPE CLINIC AND MEDEVAC PROCEDURES
BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. supports a North Slope medical clinic at the
Base Operations Camp which provides certain urgent and acute care
capabilities for North Slope contractor/subcontractor employees. The medical
facility is not a "general practice" center, and should not be utilized for
routine care by any employee. In an emergency, the Clinic staff will respond
and function as a triage center for the injured or ill employees.
When either emergency or non-emergency medical care of injured and/or ill BP
Exploration (Alaska) Inc. contractor/subcontractor employees is requested,
their medical care becomes the responsibility of Physician's Assistants
working under a collaborative agreement with the BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.
Medical Advisor. Therefore, the BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. medical department
will make the emergency medical care decisions and referrals necessary to
provide the employee with the appropriate level of care as expeditiously as
possible.
As soon as the required emergency medical care is provided and
medevac/referral arrangements are confirmed, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.
will contact the appropriate contractor/subcontractor supervisors and/or
their home office with pertinent information regarding the patient's status.
The patient's condition, destination, mode of transportation, ETA, hospital
requested, treating physicians (if known), and other available information
will be given to the contractors/subcontractors and BP Exploration (Alaska)
Inc. departments through proper channels.
Adherence to established medevac procedures and Clinic protocol will help
ensure competent and efficient medical care for all North Slope employees.

INCENTIVE PROGRAM
The following is language defining Contractor's Incentive Program for the
Telecommunications Outsourcing Activity:
1.0 ESTABLISHMENT OF A USER BOARD
- Operator shall establish a Telecom User Review Board that will meet
quarterly to review Contractor's performance under the
Telecommunications Services Contract. The Board would be responsible
for:
- Reviewing actual performance against response levels established in the
Scope of Work - ATTACHMENT 6.
- Providing input on Contractor's quarterly goals and action plans.
- Providing a subjective evaluation of Contractor's performance during
the past quarter.
The User Board will consist of four (4) voting Operator managers and one
(1) non-voting officer or director from Contractor. It is anticipated
that the Operator's Informed Buyer shall be one of the voting User Board
members.
2.0 USER BOARD AGENDA
Contractor's Technical Representative shall be responsible for
distributing a quantitative summary of the previous quarter's performance
prior to the User Board Meeting along with a written summary of all
action plans and goals identified for the upcoming quarter. During the
Board meeting, members would provide verbal feedback and commentary on
both Contractor's performance and action plans.
At the conclusion of the meeting the voting board members will
subjectively evaluate Contractor's performance relative to each of the
expectations defined in the Scope of Work. Evaluations would be made
according to the following scale:
-97-
Rating Definition
------ -----------------------------------------------------
5 - Exceptional Exceptional is given for truly extraordinary
performance with all objective/results being achieved
in a very substantial way.
4 - Highly Effective To achieve a Highly Effective rating the Contractor
must meet and often exceed the demanding and
challenging performance expectations defined in the
Scope of Work.
3 - Effective An Effective rating is provided to the Contractor for
consistently meeting the performance expectations
defined in the Scope of Work.
2 - Needs Improvement A Needs Improvement rating means that the Contractor's
performance is not fully effective or satisfactory.
Any objectives that are given a Needs Improvement
rating will require a full Action Plan be delivered to
the Informed buyer for approval within 2 weeks of the
Board meeting.
1 - Unacceptable An Unacceptable rating requires that the Informed
Buyer and appropriate Contractor's officer(s)
immediately meet to discuss the performance shortfall,
develop action plan(s) for resolution and meet monthly
thereafter to assure that the performance shortfall
has been resolved.
3.0 INCENTIVE BONUS
At the end of the year, the quarterly evaluations provided by the Board
will be summarized and an Annual Performance Rating (APR) will be
calculated as follows:
(Actual "Points" Received/Total Points Available + .30) = APR
Once the APR has been determined, the "Stretch" Incentive Bonus will be
calculated according to the following formula:
1991 Budget (Non Personnel Related Expenses)
- 1991 Actual (Non Personnel Related Expenses)
----------------------------------------------
Annual Budget Savings
-98-
Annual Budget Saving * 50% * APR = Contractor's Incentive Bonus
