Software malfunctions. In the event of any such Software malfunction, SWCO shall
notify Supplier promptly of the failure through calling Supplier's Customer
Support.
12.3 Supplier shall provide a telephone contact point to which SWCO can
notify Supplier of the need for maintenance Related Services twenty-four (24)
hours per day, seven days (7) per week. Within one (1) hour of notification, a

respond. Such response will serve to acknowledge receipt of notification and to
obtain a verbal description of the nature of the need for maintenance Related
Services.
12.4 Supplier shall correct any and all errors in the Software in
accordance with this Section 12. For major errors substantially effecting
Equipment performance, Supplier shall continue error correction activity on a
twenty-four (24) hour basis until a permanent correction is made. If Supplier
determines that such errors cannot be corrected within twenty-four (24) hours,
Supplier shall immediately initiate an escalation procedure to:
(1) Immediately assign sufficient skilled personnel to correct the
error; and
(2) Immediately notify Supplier management personnel that such error
has not been corrected and that the escalation procedure has
been activated; and
(3) Supplier will provide verbal status reports on errors at
intervals of not less that twice per day to SWCO on the status
of each error correction.
12.5 SWCO shall provide Supplier, at the time of the notification, data
required by Supplier to properly analyze the error condition and to provide the
proper resolution.
12.6 Supplier shall give notice, on each error reported, to all SWCO
locations of Software upon receipt by Supplier and error corrections will be
transmitted to all such locations.
12.7 If any Equipment furnished by Supplier hereunder experiences non-
performance periods due to malfunction of the Software, as specified below, the
credits contained herein shall apply to SWCO's Software monthly maintenance
charge. If the Equipment is operating at less than fifty percent (50%) call
processing capacity (as measured by traffic usage over the previous thirty (30)
day period), (i) for any eight (8) consecutive hour period or (ii) for a period
more than twenty-four (24) hours in any thirty (30) day period, then Supplier
shall grant SWCO a credit

percent (90%) call processing capacity. SWCO shall issue a debit memorandum and
associated documentation to Supplier reflecting the amount of such credit. The
Equipment non-operational periods shall be for periods of time directly caused
by the non-performance of the Software on the Equipment. Any non-performance
caused by third-party equipment or software, force majeure or other events
outside the control of Supplier shall not be counted toward non-performance
