obtain, make fully operational and maintain all equipment, software and
other materials set forth in Company's EDI Planning Guide. Supplier shall
also execute an Electronic Purchasing Agreement with Company at the time of
execution of this Agreement.
21. EPIDEMIC CONDITION
If during the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year after the
last shipment date of MATERIAL under this Agreement Company notifies
Supplier that MATERIAL shows evidence of an "Epidemic Condition,"
7
Agreement No. WR71980064
Sheet 7 of 31
Supplier shall prepare and propose a Corrective Action Plan ("CAP") with
respect to such MATERIAL within five (5) working days of such notification,
addressing implementation and procedure milestones for remedying such
Epidemic Condition(s). An extension of this time-frame is permissible upon
mutual written agreement of the parties.
Upon notification of the Epidemic Condition to Supplier, Company shall
have the right to postpone all or part of the shipments of unshipped
MATERIAL, by giving written notice of such postponement to Supplier,
pending correction of the Epidemic Condition. Such postponement shall
temporarily relieve Supplier of its shipment liability and Company of its
shipment acceptance liability. Should Supplier not agree to the existence
of an Epidemic Condition or should Company not agree to the CAP, then
Company shall have the right to suspend all or part of its unshipped orders
without liability to Company until such time as a mutually acceptable
solution is reached.
An Epidemic Condition will be considered to exist when one or more of
the following conditions occur:
(1) Failure reports or statistical samplings show that MATERIAL
shipped contain a potential safety hazard (such as personal injury or
death, fire, explosion, toxic emissions, etc.), or exhibit a highly
objectionable symptom (such as emissions of smoke, loud noises, deformation
of housing) or other disconcerting symptoms of this type.
(2) Reliability plots of relevant data indicate that the MATERIAL has
actual Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of less than 80% of the MTBF
stipulated in the Technical Specification. The MTBF parameter of MATERIAL
is defined as the total operating or power-on time of any population under
observation ("T"), in hours, divided by the total number of critical
failures ("n") that have occurred during the observed period. A critical
failure is defined as a failure to operate per the requirements of the
Technical Specification. The total operating time of a population is the
summation of operating time of individual units in that population. MTBF is
expressed as MTBF = T/n. An Epidemic Condition shall exist when data
derived from populations being tracked confirms the condition with 80%
confidence. (3) MATERIAL Dead on Arrival (DOA) failures exceed the Epidemic
DOA failure rate which is defined as 1.2 x DOA specified in the section of
this Agreement entitled PRODUCT CONFORMANCE REVIEW.
Only major functional and visual/mechanical/appearance defects are
considered for determining Epidemic Condition. MATERIAL could be either
sampled or, a Company's option, 100% audited at Company warehouses,
8
Agreement No. WR71980064
Sheet 8 of 31
factories or Company's customers' locations. If MATERIAL is sampled, the
data must have 80% or better statistical confidence.
For the purpose of this Agreement, functional DOA shall be defined as
any MATERIAL that during the test, installation or upon its first use fails
to operate as expected or specified. Visual/mechanical/appearance DOA is
defined as any MATERIAL containing one or more major defects that would
make the MATERIAL unfit for use or installation.
An Epidemic Condition shall not include failures due to customer
misapplication, utilization of parts not approved by Supplier, or chain
failures induced by internally or externally integrated subassemblies.
In the event that Supplier develops a remedy for the defect(s) that
caused the Epidemic Condition and Company agrees in writing that the remedy
is acceptable Supplier shall:
(a) Incorporate the remedy in the affected MATERIAL in accordance with
Company's instructions.
(b) Ship all subsequent MATERIAL incorporating the required modification
correcting the defect(s) at no additional charge to Company; and
(c) Repair and/or replace MATERIAL that caused the Epidemic Condition. In
the event that Company incurs costs due to such repair and/or replacement,
including but not limited to labor and shipping costs, Supplier shall
reimburse Company for such costs. Supplier shall bear risk of in transit
loss and damage for such repaired and/or replaced MATERIAL.
Supplier and Company shall mutually agree in writing as to the
remedy's implementation schedule. Supplier shall use its best efforts to
implement the remedy in accordance with the agreed-upon schedule.
If Supplier is unable to develop a mutually agreeable remedy, or does
not adequately take into account the business interests of Company, as
reasonably agreed by the parties, Company may (1) develop and implement
such remedy and, in such case, implementation costs and risk of in-transit
loss and damage shall be allocated between the parties as set forth in this
section, and/or (2) cancel postponed orders without liability and return
all MATERIAL affected by such Epidemic Condition for full refund, payable
by Supplier within thirty (30) business days after receipt of returned
MATERIAL (with risk of loss or in-transit damage borne by Supplier) and/or
(3) terminate this Agreement without further liability.

by the U.S. Department of Commerce office of export licensing to export or
re-export any such items referenced in (a) or (b). The obligations stated
above in this clause will survive the expiration, cancellation or
termination of this Agreement or any other related agreement.
23. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party shall be held responsible for any delay or failure in
performance of any part of this Agreement to the extent such delay or
failure is caused by fire, flood, strike, civil, governmental, or military
authority, act of God, or other similar causes beyond its control and
without the fault or negligence of the delayed or non performing party or
its subcontractors. Supplier's liability for loss or damage to Company's
MATERIAL in Supplier's possession or control shall not be modified by this
section. When a party's delay or nonperformance continues for a period of
at least fifteen (15) days, the other party may terminate, at no charge,
this Agreement or an order under the Agreement.

DEFINITY EXTENDER PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
ANALOG DEFINITY EXTENDER - MODEL 845/846
The Lucent Technologies DEFINITY(R) Extenders (Analog Version), one at the
switch location and one at a remote site, will allow customers to use
proprietary Lucent Technologies DCP Telephone Sets at locations other than where
the DEFINITY(R) ECS is located. The full function digital DCP terminal at the
remote site will look and perform exactly as it would if it were connected
directly to the DEFINITY(R) ECS.
This will be accomplished through the use of two (2) DEFINITY(R) Extenders
(Analog Version), and either a dial-up analog line, or a dedicated circuit.
Prior to the introduction-of this product, users were required to be co-located
with their DEFINITY(R) System in order to use a digital DCP telephone set.
The introduction of the DEFINITY(R) Extenders (Analog Version) provides a much
requested solution for our customers, who are experiencing ever increasing
pressure to provide remote office solutions for their employees.
ANALOG CENTRAL SITE RACK DEFINITY EXTENDER - MODEL 855
The Lucent Technologies DEFINITY(R) Extenders Central Site Rack System (Analog
Version) one at the switch location, will allow customers to use proprietary
Lucent Technologies DCP Telephone Sets at locations other than where the
DEFINITY(R) ECS is located. The full function digital DCP terminal at the remote
site will look and perform exactly as it would if it were connected directly to
the DEFINITY(R) ECS.
This will be accomplished by packaging analog switch module cards into a rack
system. Each rack has 12 slots across. This allows for reduced footprint, for
multiple installs and a reduction in the per port cost.
ISDN DEFINITY EXTENDER - MODEL 875/876
The ISDN DEFINITY Extender* system adjunct allows users to make and receive
calls from a remote location via an ISDN circuit while appearing to be in the
office. The ISDN DEFINITY Extender has two modules- the DEFINITY Extender Switch
Module and the DEFINITY Extender Remote Module.
Using an 8410D, 8410DR, 8411D, 8434, or a Callmaster(R) III (603E) voice
terminal, the Extender allows remote users to access system features such as
display, multiple call appearance, transfer, voice mail, message light and
conference. Outgoing calls can be made by the remote user using the DEFINITY
Enterprise Communications Server (ECS) network facilities. A terminal adapter is
required at both ends of an ISDN circuit to make an ISDN connection.
37
Agreement No. WR71980064
Appendix B
2 of 2
The introduction of this product permits users to enter a Call-On-Demand (COD)
Mode which automatically drops the dial-up connection to the central site after
a predetermined period of time.
With the analog version of this product, users can also connect a remote digital
telephone set to their DEFINITY ECS. Because standard analog call connections
take much longer than the two seconds it takes to establish an ISDN call, users
must usually remain logged-on for the duration of their work tour.
NEW ISDN DEFINITY EXTENDER - MODEL 2100/2101
The (SDN DEFINITY Extender central site (model 2100) and remote site (model
2101) data modules improve upon the first generation of ISDN DEFINITY Extender
units (PEC 2174-R2D and 2174-P2D). The new units include an integrated terminal
adapter, support 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps of data on one B-channel, and deliver
improved voice quality on the second B-channel for the same price as the first
generation product.
NEW ANALOG DEFINITY EXTENDER - MODEL 1100/1101
The Analog DEFINITY Extender central site module (model 1100) and remote site
module (model 1101) data modules improve upon the first generation of Analog
DEFINITY Extender units (PEC 2174-PSB and 2174-RSM). The new units include an
advanced V.34 modem, which enhances voice quality and reduces retrains. The data
transmission rate supports up to 20 Kbps with voice traffic. In addition two new
features have been added: Call On Demand and Dial Back.
