(b)

Additionally, Customer may request pricing on a per project basis whereby Equant will provide pricing (a "Price Quote") in accordance with the following:

INVOICES, PAYMENT AND TAXES

4.1.: Commencement of Invoicing

	4.1.1		Charges for all Services are set out in the schedule of Charges, or in Order Forms. Charges will be invoiced and paid in Dollars.
	4.1.2		Equant will commence invoicing of all Charges as of the date specified in the relevant Service Annex.
	4.1.3		Equant will invoice all fixed recurring Charges monthly in advance, all other recurring Charges monthly in arrears, and all Charges for one time services on completion of the Service, unless otherwise specified in any Service Annex.
	4.1.4		Equant shall invoice Customer for its Charges, excluding claims for Losses, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the month in which the applicable Services and other work are rendered or the expense incurred.
	4.1.5		Equant shall invoice Customer for all Tail Circuit Charges and third party charges, excluding claims for Losses, within one (1) year after the month in which the applicable Services and other work are rendered or the expense incurred.

4.2.: Payment

All invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. Customer may dispute an invoice within one hundred eighty (180) days of the invoice date. Failing any notification of a dispute from Customer within the one hundred eighty (180) day period,

Customer will be deemed to have accepted the amounts stated on the invoice. In the event of a good faith, timely notified dispute on a part of the invoice, Customer may withhold payment only of the disputed amount.

4.3.: Taxes

The amounts listed in the schedule of Charges do not include taxes or government imposed fees or surcharges, including VAT, sales, excise, gross receipts, withholding taxes and universal service fund fees, which will be invoiced to Customer in accordance with local law. Customer agrees to pay or reimburse Equant for all such taxes, fees, and surcharges, excluding tax on Equant's, associated companies or Sub-Contractors income. In respect of withholding tax, Customer will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary, such that Equant receives the amount it would have received had no withholding been imposed.

4.4.: Late Payment

Failure by Customer to pay any undisputed charges in accordance with this Agreement will entitle Equant to suspend the Service to which the non-payment relates, having given thirty (30) days notice of its intention to do so, and Customer having failed to remedy its payment default during that time unless such payment is disputed in good faith pursuant to Clause 4.5 below.

The exercise of this remedy is without prejudice to Equant's other rights and remedies under this Agreement.

4.5.: Billing Disputes

In the event that Customer disputes in good faith the accuracy or validity of an invoice provided by Equant, Customer shall notify Equant within thirty (30) business days of the receipt of the invoice stating the reason why Customer disputes the invoice and the amount in dispute. Customer shall pay the undisputed portion of the Charges to Equant. Customer and Equant shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to promptly resolve any billing dispute in accordance with the dispute procedure set forth in Clause 12.1.

4.6.: Credit Requirements

	4.6.1.		From time to time, Customer may be requested to provide financial information as Equant may reasonably request, to determine Customer's continued creditworthiness.
	4.6.2.		If Equant reasonably determines that Customer's creditworthiness is insufficient to cover the full payment of all Charges under this Agreement, Equant may require Customer to provide a financial guarantee in a form reasonably acceptable to both Parties in order to continue the provision of the Services as a condition for the continued provision of the Services.

4.7: Additional Pro Forma Invoices

Equant shall include pro forma invoices along with each billing invoice to allow Customer to identify its pass-through costs related to the use of the Services by Customer's Affiliates and use such documentation to substantiate potential local tax deductions. The content of such schedules and pro forma invoices will be agreed by the Parties and shall be provided to Customer for a Charge of $250 per month. In no event shall Equant be liable to Customer or Customer's Affiliates for any disallowance or rejection of local tax deductions by the applicable authorities due to the provision of such pro forma invoices by Equant or the content thereof.

5.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

5.1.: Ownership of Intellectual Property

As between the Parties, all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services are either owned by or licensed to Equant. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to convey any title or ownership interest in any Intellectual Property Rights to Customer or Users, nor are any rights or licenses are granted by this Agreement with respect to any Intellectual Property Right, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

5.2.: Indemnification for Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights

Equant, at its expense, will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from any action brought against Customer or any User based on a claim that any Service or part thereof infringes any Intellectual Property Right in any country where the Service is provided, if Customer promptly notifies Equant in writing when such action is brought against Customer and Equant has sole control of such defense. Equant at its sole option may settle or compromise the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may elect to be represented by its own counsel at its cost in any such settlement negotiation. In addition, Equant will pay all fees, costs or damages finally awarded in the action or constituting a settlement thereof, provided Customer gives Equant reasonable assistance in the defense or settlement. In the event that an injunction, whether temporary or permanent, is obtained against Customer prohibiting the use of a Service or any part thereof, by reason of such infringement, Equant will:

(a): use reasonable efforts, at its own expense, to procure the right for Customer to continue using the Service, or replace or modify the Service so that it is no longer infringing an Intellectual Property Right; or
(b): only if Equant cannot achieve the solution referred to in Clause 5.2 (a) above, direct Customer to cease using the affected Service or to return the infringing equipment to Equant at Equant's expense, in which case the relevant Order will be automatically terminated.

5.3.

Equant will have no obligation to defend Customer or any User or to pay costs, damages or fees for any claim based on:

(a): use of the Service or of any part thereof other than the current unaltered Service provided by Equant, if such infringement would have been avoided by the use of the current unaltered Service provided by Equant; or
(b): the combination, operation or use of a Service, or of any part thereof, with non-Equant services, equipment or software, if such infringement would have been avoided by not combining, operating or using such Service or part thereof with other such non-Equant service, equipment or software.

6.: SOFTWARE

If required to enable Customer or Users to use a Service, Equant, will grant to Customer and Users for the Term of this Agreement, non-exclusive and non-transferable licenses to use Software strictly for such purpose. Customer agrees not to produce, copy (except for the purpose of retaining a back-up copy), alter, modify, or add to the Software or any part thereof, nor to attempt or to allow a third party to attempt to reverse engineer, translate or convert the Software from machine readable to human readable form, except as permitted by applicable law.

7.

CONFIDENTIALTY AND NON-DISCLOSURE

7.1.: During the Term of this Agreement and for three (3) years after its expiry, each Party will (a) use Confidential Information of the other Party only for the purpose of this Agreement (which may include disclosure to all necessary sub-contractors, provided such subcontractors agree to comply with the provisions of the Agreement); (b) only disclose the Confidential Information to a third party with the other Party's prior written consent, except to its professional advisors and auditors and as regards Equant, to its Affiliates which agree to comply with this Agreement; and (c) use reasonable endeavors to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care exercised to protect its own Confidential Information.
7.2.: Clause 7.1 will not apply to the disclosure of Confidential Information (a) which is in the public domain at the time of disclosure otherwise than by the receiving Party's breach of Clause 7.1; (b) which is rightfully received from a third party or independently developed by the receiving Party; or (c) in accordance with the order of a court or governmental authority, in which case the receiving Party will give as much advance notice thereof to the disclosing Party as is reasonably practicable and will use its reasonable efforts to limit the extent of any such disclosure.
7.3: Neither Party will make any public announcement or issue any press release concerning this Agreement, the fact that Customer is a customer of Equant for the Services, or the transactions contemplated hereby, without the other Party's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8.

The notice and the response will include (a) a statement of each party's position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and of any other person who will accompany that executive. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of the disputing party's notice, the executives of both parties will meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the executives are unable to reach resolution within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the disputing party's notice, then the parties may proceed to mediation or arbitration as set forth below. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be honored.

The arbitrator's award will be final and binding on all Parties and judgment on the award may be entered and the award enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Except in the case of delivery by hand, and save for evidence to the contrary, notices will be deemed to have been given on the day on which such communication ought to have been delivered in due course of postal or facsimile transmission.
	13.2.		Status of the Parties. This Agreement is not intended to create, nor will it be construed to be, a joint venture, association, partnership, franchise, or other form of business relationship.

In the event of such refusal, suspension, or discontinuation of Services, the Parties will consult with each other in an attempt to find an alternative solution, if any that would allow the provision of Services to that Location. The amount of any Shortfall as set forth in Clause 1 of Annex 1-F shall be Services commitment will be reduced for the Customer as appropriate for Services discontinued under this Clause 7.2 with no alternative solution provided by Equant.

8.

Benchmarking

8.1: Overview

	8.1.1		This Clause 8 of Service Annex 1 defines the process for benchmarking the Services.
	8.1.2		Benchmarking will be carried out to provide an independent view of the Median Charge for Comparative Services.
	8.1.3		The benchmarking shall occur during the eighteenth (18^th) month of Term of this Agreement or as agreed to by the Parties.

8.2: Definitions

In this Clause 8:

"Comparative Services" means the services provided by at least two (2) reasonably comparable global service suppliers selected by the Independent Adviser that are reasonably comparable to the Services being benchmarked in respect of (a) geographic availability; (b) service levels; and (c) functionality.

"Regions" means (1) North, South and Central America, (2) Europe, (3) the Asia/Pacific region and (4) the rest of the world.

"Independent Adviser" means Gartner Group, GIGA, Ovum or such other independent third party adviser agreed in writing by the parties from time to time.

"Median Charge" means, in respect of Comparative Services, the median market price for such services identified by the Independent Adviser.

8.3: Selection of the Independent Adviser

	8.3.1		The Parties will agree to the selection of the Independent Adviser. The Independent Adviser chosen will be responsible for all subsequent benchmarking of the Services, unless the Parties agree otherwise.
	8.3.2		The Independent Adviser will be jointly instructed by the Parties and, subject to Clause 8.4.7 below, the Parties will share the Independent Advisor's costs equally. The instruction to the Independent Adviser will specify the number of Comparative Services to be considered in the benchmarking process. There will be a single brief for the Independent Adviser, produced jointly by the Parties, except where there are differences between the Parties' requirements for that brief. In these circumstances, there will be a single joint brief, together with a document from each Party, in which each explains their respective differences. The Independent Adviser will decide in his sole discretion how to resolve any such differing requirements.

8.4: Process

	8.4.1		Benchmarking may be invoked for any or all Services then provided to Customer by Equant, in any or all Regions. Where the Services to be benchmarked are provided across a Region, the benchmarking will be conducted against the whole of such Region and not against any individual country or countries.
	8.4.2		The Independent Adviser will identify the Comparative Services against which the Services are to be benchmarked.
	8.4.3		Where in his sole judgment it is appropriate, the Independent Adviser will adjust the applicable charges for Comparative Services to take account of any material differences between the Comparative Services and the Services then provided by Equant to Customer, including differences in: (a) geographic availability; (b) service levels; (c) functionality; (d) service configuration and capacities; (e) service management and reporting; (f) security; (g) aggregate expenditure and volumes; (h) minimum commitment and available discounts; (i) contract term; and (j) the level of remedies provided under any service level agreement.
	8.4.4		The applicable charges derived by the Independent Adviser for each Comparative Service, including any adjustment made pursuant to Clause 8.4.3 above, will then be aggregated, and the relevant Median Charge will be calculated. The Independent Adviser will then compare the Median Charge with the charges then payable by Customer to Equant for the relevant Service (including any relevant applicable discounts). The comparison will take full account of any elements of the charges that the Independent Adviser deems appropriate in his sole discretion (e.g. in addition to comparing fixed recurring service charges, the Independent Adviser may include connection charges in the relevant comparison).
	8.4.5		For Services that comprise a number of options, e.g., CIR capacity options, the Independent Adviser may choose to benchmark a representative sample of what he considers to be the most frequently used options. Either party may object, on reasonable grounds, to the Independent Adviser's chosen options and the parties will resolve any such objection and agree to the relevant sample to apply prior to the Independent Auditor proceeding with the process. Any percentage change in charges resulting from the benchmarking of the relevant sample will then be applied to all options for that Service and aggregated to derive a new Median Charge. Where there are a range of available prices within a Service, the Independent Advisor will use his sole discretion to determine the Median Charge for that Service in order to produce a fair and reasonable balance between the various prices.
	8.4.6		Where the Median Charges for a Service are less than the charges then charged by Equant to Customer for such Service, Customer will have the right to request Equant to reduce its Charges to match the relevant Median Charges to take effect from the first (1^st) of the month following completion of the process ("Date of Effect").
	8.4.7		If Equant does not reduce its Charges in accordance with Clause 8.4.6 above, Customer may, within forty-five (45) days of the Date of Effect:

	8.4.7.1		terminate the Services in the relevant Region under this Agreement, on thirty (30) days prior written notice to Equant; or

	8.4.7.2		terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days prior written notice to Equant, where the Services that may be terminated pursuant to Clause 8.4.7.1 above constitute at least forty percent (40%) (by volume of charges) of all Services then being provided to Customer by Equant under this Agreement;
	8.4.7.3		in both such events, Equant shall be responsible for full payment of the Independent Advisor's costs for the relevant benchmarking exercise.

8.4.8

Any dispute between the parties relating to this Clause 8 which is not resolved within ten (10) business days of notice of the dispute by either party shall be escalated by both parties to their respective senior management. If the dispute is not settled by senior management within ten (10) business days of escalation, either party shall be entitled to initiate the dispute resolution process pursuant to Clause 12 of this Agreement.

Annex 1-B—Network Services Support

1.: Help Desk

Access to help desks at certain locations notified by Equant, via which Customer and Users may obtain technical advice and guidance on the operation and use of the Service. Customer understands that the location of the help desks is subject to reasonable change at any time. These help desks will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to answer all Service related queries to Customer's and Users designated personnel. Equant will use its reasonable efforts to respond promptly on any query that is related to the Services.

2.

Global Support

2.1.: Equant's multi-tiered support structure is available to serve the needs of customers in more than 200 countries. All support personnel can speak English and are either indigenous to the local country or are fluent in one or more of nearly 40 local languages.
2.2.: Equant takes responsibility for managing network access between all sites, even where the network path crosses many national boundaries. Each service center is equipped with comprehensive trouble and fault diagnosis hardware.
2.3.: Equant support is organized as a pyramid based on 3 levels of support: core network support, customer service support, and on-site support. These support levels and the key functions of the hierarchy are illustrated below:

3.

Support Levels

3.1.: Core Network Support

Ultimate responsibility for network management is assigned to 3 network management centers in Paris, Tulsa, and Singapore. These 3 centers, referred to as Global Network Management Centers (GNMCs), use a follow-the-sun approach to provide 24 hour central control and visibility over the core backbone network, 7 days a week, three hundred sixty-five (365) days a year. The 3 GNMCs maintain the integrity of the core backbone and also serve as a final escalation point for the most complex of customer network issues.

3.2.: Customer Service Support

	3.2.1.		Equant's 5 Global Customer Service Centers (GCSCs) provide the first level of customer support on a twenty-four hour/seven day basis. The 5 GCSCs, located in Atlanta, Cairo, London, Rio de Janeiro and Sydney, each have global visibility of the entire network and maintain full ownership of all faults reported. The GCSCs are supported by more than 20 satellite Customer Service Centers, which handle in-country fault management activities for countries with regulatory, technical or linguistic restrictions.
	3.2.2.		Located within the GCSCs are the Proactive Surveillance Units, which provide constant monitoring of selected customers that have subscribed to Equant's managed router solutions.

3.2.3.

The GCSCs are further supported by Equant's Internetwork Operation Centers, which provide local LAN Access, Intranet Connect, and VPN support for customers and operations; the Applications Referral Centers, which deliver support of core network application-based problems; and Equant's Centers of Excellence, which provide the highest level of technical expertise in resolving service-specific problems.

3.3.: On-site Support

At the local level, Equant's entire organization is supported by multiple Fault Repair Units (FRUs), which are part of Regional Service Operations. The FRUs maintain local presence in over 280 cities in more than 150 countries. The FRUs facilitate the repair and service of local nodes, connections and customer equipment as well as manage the relationship with local TO service providers.

3.4.: Fault Management

	3.4.1.		Fault Reporting
	(a)		Upon the Customer's detection or notification of a fault, the Customer will open a trouble ticket with the GCSC. The GCSC staff will retrieve the Customer site file from the trouble ticket database, confirm the user code and address, and initiate the appropriate action.
	(b)		The GCSC will commence standard procedures to properly address all problems and restore the Service within the shortest possible period of time.
	(c)		All GCSCs utilize Equant's single global trouble ticket system to log and track reported faults. This system provides global visibility of all faults and associated activities to all network operations and support staff. In order to assist Customer in its fault monitoring and management, Equant offers Customer the optional Web Vision, TT Vision and i Vision customer service tools at no charge, so Customer can obtain real-time access to this system to check the status and add comments to the ticket.
	3.4.2.		Fault Diagnosis
			The GCSC personnel will initiate a step-by-step fault diagnosis process that will allow them to diagnose the problem and take the appropriate corrective action. This may include dispatching a technician, or referring the fault to the local TO or one of our internal Centers of Excellence. In cases where the problem is identified to be at the remote end, the trouble ticket will be referred to the appropriate local customer service center while maintaining trouble ticket ownership to resolution.
	3.4.3.		TO Problems
			If the problem is identified as within the local TO's responsibility, GCSC personnel will open a trouble ticket and route the problem directly to the local TO supplier. The trouble ticket will remain open until the problem has been resolved and the user confirms that the service has been restored back to normal. During this time, ownership of the trouble ticket stays with the Equant GCSC and they will keep Customer apprised of the status and escalate as required.

	3.4.4.		Equipment Problem
			If the problem is diagnosed as caused by an Equant-supplied equipment component, the trouble ticket will be routed to the local field service unit, who will arrange to dispatch a technician under the terms of Customer's maintenance agreement. Once the fault has been resolved, the field support engineer will contact the local customer service center and request confirmation that service has been restored with the local user and close the trouble ticket.
	3.4.5.		Network Problems
			Any problem identified as a fault in the Equant network will be routed to the Network Operations staff and/or the appropriate Center of Excellence. After the fault has been cleared, it will be referred back to the GCSC, which will check with the local site prior to closing the trouble ticket.
	3.4.6.		Closing Trouble Tickets
			Once the fault has been reported as resolved it will be placed in "cleared" status. The GCSC staff will then contact Customer's contact and request confirmation that the fault is in fact resolved. Only after the GCSC staff has received this confirmation can the trouble ticket be closed.
	3.4.7.		Escalation Process
			If the trouble ticket is not immediately resolved, the trouble ticket is automatically escalated using a predefined time scale. The Equant escalation process is designed to provide a high level of management visibility within Network Operations to ensure every possible action is being taken to resolve the fault.
			The following is a general guideline for an automated management notification:

Level	Elapsed Time	Function
1	2 hours	Unit Supervisor/COM (if assigned)
2	4 hours	CSC Manager
3	6 hours	Regional CSC Director
4	24 hours	GCSC Director
5	48 hours	VP of Global Customer Service

Managerial escalation should occur anytime it is felt that involvement of the next level manager is required to resolve a problem. Managerial escalation times are based on the judgment of the problem owner.

3.5.: Tail Circuit Management

Tail Circuit management services for all Tail Circuits, includes:

•: ordering and management of the connection of Tail Circuits, modems and other communications equipment from the relevant TOs or other third party vendors as applicable; in the event Equant is unable to order Tail Circuits due to regulatory impediment, Customer agrees to order them in its own name;
•: testing and acceptance of Tail Circuits, modems and other communications equipment;
•: notification of Tail Circuit faults both to Customer and the relevant TO upon Equant becoming aware of the faults and the coordination and expediting of Service restoration;

•: payment to TOs and other third party vendors in local currency on Customer's behalf, where applicable. However, this service does not affect Customer's liability with respect to such Tail Circuits, modems or other communications equipment and all sums paid by Equant to TOs or other third party vendors in respect thereof will be reimbursed by Customer as more fully described in Annex 1-F.

3.6.: Project Management.

Project management includes the creation and agreement of critical path schedules, liaison with Customer's designated network personnel, implementation and configuration of all Network connections and overall management of Customer's account.

Annex 1-C—Network Services Acceptance Tests.

1.

Tail Circuits. Equant will perform a 15 minute Bit Error Rate Test to ensure that no more than one error in 10⁶ data bits occur on the Tail Circuit.

2.

Frame Relay Functionality Testing. Equant will perform:

•: A test to confirm that a route DTE supporting Frame Relay attached via a Tail Circuit to a Node is able to establish link-level communications via a pre-designated local DLCI address with the Node local to the Site.
•: A test to confirm that application data is able to be successfully transferred up to the registered CIR level between Customer-sited router DTEs supporting Frame Relay, via PVC routers and pre-designated local DLCI addresses.

3.: IP Private Dial Testing. Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Service at a Location upon issuance of a domain name.
4.: Alternative Testing. Where TO operating conditions are such that the Acceptance Tests are not appropriate, Equant shall carry out alternative commissioning tests as agreed between the Parties. In this event, Equant will provide to Customer a written description of these alternative acceptance tests.

1.2: Committed Information Rate

The Committed Information Rate (CIR), is the amount of bandwidth that Equant agrees to make available to the Customer's Frame Relay Data Terminal Equipment through the Network, enabling the transfer of data between any given Frame Relay Permanent Virtual Circuit Ingress and Egress points during normal network operational conditions. CIRs are provided on a per individual Data Link Channel basis.

1.3: Excess Information Rate

The Excess Information Rate (EIR), is the additional bandwidth that Equant agree to make available, to enable the transfer of data between any given Frame Relay Permanent Virtual Circuit Ingress and Egress points on a per Data Link Channel Basis. The value of the EIR will be an additional 50 percent of the CIR, on individual CIRs up to 128 Kbit/s, or the upper limit of the access line bandwidth, dependent on whichever sum is the lesser. The EIR will be made available as a sustained Network resource during normal Network operations. All data submitted within the EIR range is eligible to be discarded under adverse Network conditions.

1.4: Premium Burst Option

Premium Burst is an additional Equant Frame Relay service feature that provides additional bursting capacity of up to an additional 100% of the CIR value on any given individual CIR or the access line bandwidth, dependent on whichever sum is the lesser. The Premium Burst configurations will ensure that CIR will be equal to or greater than 25% of the Access Speed unless otherwise agreed by Equant.

The Premium Burst facility will be made available to Customer's Frame Relay DTE under the following terms and conditions:

Upon acceptance by Equant and subject to the payment of Charges by Customer, EIR may be configured subject to the limitations below:

EIR usage will be limited to either:

(i): 15 million characters per day (for both directions) per 8kbps of CIR; or
(ii): 450MB of total traffic (that is, the combined CIR and EIR usage) for both directions per month per 8 kbps of CIR.

In the event that the EIR usage exceeds the limitations stated in above for (i) 2 consecutive months; or (ii) 3 out of any 6 consecutive months, Equant reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to take the steps set out below.

Equant may do either or both of the following:

(i): upgrade the CIR to a level such that the EIR usage is within the limitations stated above; and
(ii): downgrade (to a level as determined by Equant) or terminate EIR over the PVC.

Equant reserves the right to charge for the above upgrade or reconfiguration of EIR.

2.: Description of Equant IP Private Dial Service

The Private Dial service enables access to hosts using a native LAN protocol via PSTN or ISDN, using point-to-point protocol (PPP). The service is accessed via a PC or a router. The PC requires no additional hardware beyond a terminal adapter or a modem, except an available serial Port (ie, any port on a PC that can support a dial modem connection) and client software supporting PPP and challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP).

To use the IP Private Dial Service, a user calls a public PSTN or ISDN telephone number that gives the user access to the network access server. The user's terminal, PC, or router then issues a CHAP user name, domain name, and encrypted password. The call is sent automatically to the router defined to be associated with the domain name specified via a layer 2 forwarding tunnel.

The IP Private Dial security server positively identifies the user as authenticated and having access to the network or LAN and then opens an IP session. Additional levels of security may also be procured (e.g., token-based systems, etc.). Please note that this process is handled by the client software; therefore, it is transparent to the user.

Annex 1-E—Service Levels

1.: Introduction.

In calculating Equant's performance using the metrics set forth below, Equant will only be liable for its obligations hereunder as they relate to the Service described in this Service Annex. Equant will not be liable for any required remedial actions if the failure to meet a Service Level was caused by the actions or inactions of (i) Customer or User; (ii) third parties; (iii) any events that would be deemed Force Majeure Event as defined in Clause 1 of the Agreement.

All words with initial caps are defined in Clause 9 of this SLA or Clause 1 of the Agreement.

2.

Conditions and Exclusions. This SLA and the remedies set out are subject to the following conditions and exclusions:

2.1: Save only in respect of material breach of this Agreement, this SLA sets out Customer's sole and exclusive remedies for any failure by Equant to provide Services in accordance with this Agreement Equant's periodic routine, non-routine, or emergency maintenance of the Service, provided in a proper, non-negligent manner and in accordance with commercially prudent practices will not be deemed to be a failure of Equant to provide Services in accordance with this Agreement, or the breach of any SLA.
2.2: Customer must claim credits for unachieved SLA in writing within 120 days following the end of the month in which Customer believes the Service Level was not achieved. Within 30 days following receipt of the claim, Equant will confirm in writing to Customer the amount of the credit, if any, from reports generated by Equant. All credits will be issued within 60 days of Customer's written claim.
2.3: Customer's right of cancellation of a Service pursuant to Equant's failure to meet a SLA must be exercised within 120 days of Equant's written confirmation of that failure. If Customer does not notify Equant in writing of its election to cancel, the availability of that particular remedy expires.
2.4: Any termination of a Service or this Agreement by Customer due to Equant's failure to meet its SLA obligations is without financial liability to Customer, other than Customer's liability to pay for Service provided before the effective date of termination.
2.5: In no event will total credits due under for any unachieved SLA for any Location or Service in any month exceed 100% of the Qualifying Charges for that Location or Service in that month.
2.6: Service Levels for Service Availability, Latency and P Grade will apply from the first full month following the Date of Acceptance of the Service at the relevant Location.

3.

P Grade (IP Dial Services).

3.1: Equant commits to an accessibility level of 99.5% during Peak Hours (as defined below) for all calls placed by Customer. This accessibility level is equal to 100 minus P-Grade indicator. P Grade means the probability of a call being blocked, during Peak Hours, due to access ports not being available for that call, which probability is expressed as percentage.

P Grade ratio = (accumulated duration in minutes of the maximum port occupancy in the period × 100) (reference threshold for the period) where—the reference threshold is set to 1500 minutes per week. Equant regularly monitors the P Grade levels in every rotary and targets to maintain it at levels below 0.5%. For purposes of this Clause 3.1, "Peak Hours" means the normal business hours of the city and country where the call is placed.

3.2: If the accessibility level is not achieved in any Month, Customer will receive a credit of 10% of the previous Month's usage Charges via the relevant Node.

4.: Network Path Availability (Frame Relay)

If an NPA Service Level is not met in any calendar month, Equant will grant Customer a credit against the monthly recurring Port and CIR charge for any affected Location, payable for the calendar month during which the Service Level has been breached.

This credit shall be an amount calculated as follows:

10 x

(NPA - Actual NPA)

NPA

x monthly port and CIR charge for the month concerned for the Location

provided that no credit will be paid until the difference between the relevant NPA Service Level and the actual NPA is one tenth of one percent (0.10%) or greater. For example, if the NPA = 99.5%, the monthly Port and CIR Charges = $1,800 and the actual NPA = 99.45%, then

10 × (99.5-99.45) / 99.5 × $1,800 = $9.05

5.: Network Transit Time (Frame Relay)

If any NTT Performance Level is not achieved, Customer will receive a credit against the Qualifying Charges for the affected Locations, calculated as follows:

Actual NTT higher than NTT Service Level by less than 10%		No credit
Actual NTT higher than NTT Performance Level by greater than 10%		1% of Qualifying Charges for every 1% by which actual NTT is higher than the NTT Service Level, up to a maximum credit of 100% of Qualifying Charges for the affected Locations

Credits will be pro rated per millisecond.

6.: Maximum Time To Attend (MTTA).

Equant commits to a MTTA of 4 hours (5 hours for Customer's Location in Carpinteria, California USA), provided that:

6.1: a call-out notification is received from Customer, and the call-out can be made during the normal business day in the country in which the Location is situated; and
6.2: the Location is situated within a 50 mile radius of the nearest Equant Service Center ("Normal Service"). This requirement does not apply to Customer's Location in Carpinteria, California USA. If a call-out notification is received and there are less than 4 hours remaining in the normal business day in the applicable country (5 hours with respect to Customer's Carpinteria, California Location), then the MTTA calculation will stop at the end of the normal business day and resume on the following normal business day.

Remedial service on CPE other than Normal Service will be carried out soon as is practicably possible, taking into account availability of service personnel, the time and date of Customer's notification and the country concerned.

Where Equant provides Normal Service, but does not achieve an MTTA of 4 hours or less (or 5 hours or less for Customer's Location in Carpinteria, California USA), Customer will receive a credit of $150.00 up to a maximum of the Monthly CPE Charges, for each full hour that Equant delays commencement of its remedial activities.

7.: Fault Management.

Equant will:

•: Issue a Trouble Ticket number to Customer when Customer reports each fault to Equant;
•: Inform Customer of Outages identified by Equant and not reported by Customer no later than one (1) hour after detecting such faults;
•: Provide Customer with copies of all Trouble Tickets opened.

If Customer can demonstrate that Equant has not achieved the above Service Levels in any Month, the Parties will meet to discuss the reasons and Equant will escalate to a senior Network manager for resolution.

All escalation of faults will be in accordance with the procedures described in Annex 1-B.

8.

Cancellation of Service. In addition to any credits due for any unachieved SLA, in respect of all Service Levels, Customer shall be entitled to cancel the Service at a Location, or this Agreement in its entirety, in the following circumstances:

•: If the maximum credit is due in two (2) consecutive months, or in any four (4) Months during any 12 month period, at any Location, Customer will be entitled to terminate the affected Service at the affected Location, by giving Equant at least 30 days prior notice.
•: If the maximum credit is due in 2 consecutive months, or in any 4 months during any 12 month period, at more than 50% of the Locations, Customer will be entitled to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by giving Equant at least 30 days prior notice. For the purposes of this remedy, non-achievement of the Service Level at a Hub Location that causes non-achievement of the same Service Level at other Locations will be counted as one event.

The amount of any Shortfall, as defined in Clause 1 of Annex 1-F, shall be reduced accordingly in the event of a cancellation of Service under this Clause 8.
