SUN SUPPORT SERVICES
Sun Support Service. Sun support will consist of technical assistance provided
by Developer support engineers to Sun's designated engineers for Sun's support
of the Product, for the Development Period and the period specified in the
Award Letter. Developer agrees to:
(a) Provide such support to a single Sun site for the
term stated above. Support for additional sites may be subject to an
additional fee. Basic support will be provided in accordance with the
provision entitled Basic Sun Support, below, and based upon the severity
accorded the defects in accordance with the Severity Matrix, Alert Flag, and
Severity Level Designation, as set forth in ESCALATION SEVERITY, below.
Confidential ATL Dev & Lic Agreement
1/14/97
31
(b) Provide Sun with Releases, Versions, Minor Versions
and Patches for the service term of this Agreement.
ESCALATION SEVERITY
Severity Number
The Severity number is determined through a matrix comprised of both the impact
to the customer's operations, and the importance of the level of the
functionality affected by the problem. The Severity number is used to indicate
the level of the technical problem and is not an indication of the political,
customer sensitivity, or business relationship aspects of the problem. The
Severity number ranges from 1 to 5 and should indicate the technical level of
the problem consistently through the escalation process from the customer to
Product Development.
SMI Severity Matrix
Impact
Functionality Critical Significant Limited
Primary 1 2 3
Secondary 2 3 4
Non-essential 3 4 4
Severity Matrix - Assessment of Impact
Critical: If system is down or effectively unusable as a result of the
problems. The bug causes critical impact on the customer's operations with no
workaround.
Examples include:
System hang (unable to save work in progress)
Data loss (e.g. messages dropped or work lost)
Functionality failure renders system ineffective
Vulnerability to a security breach
Significant: System is up and running, but the bug causes significant impact
and has no convenient workaround.
Examples include:
Impaired or broken functionality causing serious inconvenience
Frequent core dumps that do not cause data loss
Serious but predictable and manageable system failures
Significant performance degradation
Limited: System is up and running, and the bug causes only limited or
insignificant impact.
The user generally can still:
avoid using the defective functionality
operate with the functional limitations caused by the bug
Confidential ATL Dev & Lic Agreement
1/14/97
32
access needed functionality using an alternate interface
use a workaround without significant impact
Severity Matrix - Functionality
Primary
Functionality used to perform tasks considered to be essential to business
operations, project completion, or normal productivity of end-user.
Secondary
Functionality used to perform tasks considered important, but which are not
primary to immediate business operations.
Non-Essential
Functionality that is not important and infrequently
used.
SMI ESCALATION SEVERITY DEFINITION
Alert Flag Definition
For customer situations that require attention, resources, or activity in
addition to the normal technical processes, the Alert Flag is used to activate
increasing levels of visibility and management awareness. The Alert Flag uses
a RED, YELLOW, GREEN model, with the colors indicating increasing levels of
management awareness, monitoring activities, and reporting that should take
place. The Alert Flag is triggered by the responsible local service management
through the Escalation Management functions in each geography for Sun Service
or through the Business Unit Escalation management for other service providers.
The Alert Flag is independent of the Technical Severity Level, and may be
triggered for reasons of business impact to Sun, or customer relations issues,
or the need for application of additional resources.
Red
A Red Flag is set with concurrence of all escalation
levels and would trigger the following activities:
The escalation would appear on the management alert
report at the SMI level. All management
notifications and reporting triggered by a Yellow
Alert Flag would continue. Formal Activity Plans and
Status Reports would be published at the CTE and
Engineering Levels.
Yellow
The escalation would appear on the local and
Geography management alert reports for service and
sales.
Geography level escalation management activities
would be invoked.
Confidential ATL Dev & Lic Agreement
1/14/97
33
CTE and Engineering Levels would be notified of the
sensitivity level of the escalation.
Regular status monitoring and reporting would be
invoked at the Geography Level.
Green
A Green Flag would be used to indicate that a
previously Yellow or Red alert situation is basically
resolved, but requires some follow up with the
customer to ensure that the issue can be closed.
Severity Level Designation. Problems, defects and malfunctions in a Product
will be categorized as follows:
(a) Severity Level 1. Severity Level 1
represents a critical problem of primary
functionality.
(b) Severity Level 2. Severity Level 2
represents either a significant problem with
primary functionality or a critical problem
with secondary functionality.
(c) Severity Level 3. Severity Level 3
represents a limited problem condition in
which no loss of data occurs and which may be
circumvented or avoided on a temporary basis
by the Sun.
(d) Severity Level 4. Severity Level 4
represents limited problem conditions or
documentation errors or enhancement requests
which cover secondary or non-essential
functionality.
Basic Sun Support Services
For non-escalated bugs, fixes shall be provided as follows:
Priority Fix Due
1 Required within 90 calendar days, or next Release, Version, minor Version or Patch, whichever
is earlier
2 Required in next external (Beta, Gamma or FCS) Release, Version or Minor Version
3 Required in next FCS Release, Version or Minor Version
4 Desired in next FCS Release, Version or Minor Version
5 At Developer's convenience

34
five (365) days per year. Developer will use its reasonable best efforts to
arrange for a qualified Developer support engineer or support manager to return
calls to Sun within two (2) hours of Sun's first call to Developer.
(b) Support Remedies. From receipt of a
documented escalation report from Sun of a Product error, defect or
malfunction, Developer shall respond with the required response (as defined
below) within the following time frames:
Severity Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx
0 2 hours ASAP, but in no event later than 90 calendar days
24 hours.
2 24 hours 10 calendar days 100 calendar days
3 2 calendar days 30 calendar days Next Version after the Patch
4 5 calendar days 35 calendar days Next Version after the Patch
Red 1 hour ASAP or less than 24 hours or
defined by daily action plan
Yellow dictated by severity level
Green dictated by severity level
First level response means that Developer shall begin verifying and replicating
the reported problem within the time frame specified via telephone
communication or as otherwise appropriate under the circumstances.
Second Level response means that Developer shall provide a binary fix or
work-around within the specified time frame, which alleviates the difficulty
but has not yet been fully tested or incorporated in a Version.
Final Level response means that Developer shall incorporate the fix or
work-around into a properly packaged Release, Version, Minor Version or Patch.
(c) On-Site Assistance for Problem Escalation. Developer
will use its best reasonable efforts to make available to Sun on-site
consulting services to assist with problem escalation. Sun will pay
Developer's then current consulting rates for consulting in addition to all
reasonable travel expenses.
(d) Fix Acceptance. Sun shall have ten (10) business
days following receipt of any Second Level or Final Level fix to either notify
Developer of its acceptance of the fix or provide Developer with a written
report (including test results and test data concerning the problem) specifying
in reasonable detail all deficiencies requiring further response from Developer
according to a Sun assigned priority as set forth above. Failure by Sun to
provide such notice within ten (10) days shall be deemed to constitute
acceptance of the fix by Sun. Upon completion of the second fix, Developer
shall resubmit the fix to Sun to acceptance in accordance with this Section.
In the event that a
Confidential ATL Dev & Lic Agreement
1/14/97
35
