2 Page 2 of Trouble Ticket Stop Clock Conditions (M) Stop Clock criteria includes the following: (Note: in this section, the term End-User includes End-Users and Customers, whichever is applicable.) 1. Periods when a restoration or testing effort is delayed at the specific request of the End- User. The Stop Clock condition shall exist during the period the Contractor was delayed, provided that reasonable and documented efforts are made to contact the End- User during the applicable Stop Clock period. 2. Time after a circuit has been restored, but End-User request ticket be kept open for observation. If the circuit is later determined by the End-User to not have been restored, the Stop Clock shall continue until the time the End-User notifies the Contractor that the circuit has not been restored. 3. Time after a circuit has been restored, but End-User is not available to verify that the circuit is working. If the circuit is later determined by the End-User to not have been restored, the Stop Clock shall apply only for the time period between Contractor's reasonable attempt to notify the End-User that Contractor believes the circuit has been restored and the time the End-User notifies the Contractor that the circuit has not been restored. 4. Restoration cannot be achieved because the problem has been isolated to wiring that is not maintained by Contractor, or any of its subsidiaries, subcontractors, or Affiliates. 5. Trouble caused by a power problem outside of the responsibility of the Contractor. 6. Lack of building entrance Facilities or conduit structure that are the End-User s responsibility to provide. 7. The following contact/access problems, provided that Contractor makes reasonable efforts to contact End-User during the applicable stop clock period: a. Access necessary to correct the problem is not available because access has not been arranged by site contact or End-User representative. b. Site contact refuses access to technician who displays proper identification. c. Insufficient or incorrect site contact information which prevents access, provided that Contractor takes reasonable steps to notify End-User of the improper contact information and takes reasonable steps to obtain the correct information. d. Site has limited hours of business that directly impacts the Contractor s ability to resolve the problem. e. If it is determined later that the cause of the problem was not at the site in question, then the Stop Clock shall not apply. 8. Any problem or delay to the extent caused by End-User s staff that prevents or delays Contractor s resolution of the problem. In such event, Contractor shall make a reasonable request to End-User staff to correct the problem or delay. 9. End-User applications that interfere with repair of the trouble. 10. Repair/replacement of CPE not provided by Contractor if the problem has reasonably been isolated to the CPE. 11. Failure of the trouble ticket originator or responsible End-User to return a call from Contractor s technician for on-line close-out of trouble tickets after the circuit has been restored as long as Contractor can provide Documentation substantiating message from Contractor s technician.

3 Page 3 of An outage directly related to any properly performed scheduled maintenance or upgrade. Any such stop clock condition shall not extend beyond the scheduled period of the maintenance or upgrade. SLAs will apply for any maintenance caused outage beyond the scheduled maintenance period. Outages occurring during a scheduled maintenance or upgrade period and not caused by the scheduled maintenance shall not be subject to this paragraph 12 stop clock criteria. 13. Any problem or delay caused by a third party not under the control of Contractor, not reasonably preventable by Contractor, including, cable cuts not caused by the Contractor. Contractor s Affiliates, subsidiaries, or subcontractors shall be deemed to be under the control of Contractor with respect to the Equipment, services, or Facilities to be provided under this Contract. 14.

All outage durations applied to other SLAs, which result in a remedy, will be excluded from the monthly accumulative total. Network Availability of 99.95% per month, including the local loop. This equates to less than 21.6 minutes of downtime per month (based on a 30-day month), excluding periods attributable to Stop-Clock Conditions (including but not limited to maintenance window). Network Availability is calculated as the percentage of time that the OPT-E-MAN network is capable of accepting and delivering customer data to the total time in the measurement period. The calculation for Network Availability for a given calendar month is as follows: Network Availability = [(24 hours x days in month x 60 minutes x number of customer sites) (total minutes of Stop-Clock Conditions) network outage time (measured in minutes)] [(24 hours x days in month x 60 minutes x number of customer sites) (total minutes of Stop Clock Conditions)] As noted in the above formula, all ports included in a Customer s network are utilized in calculating Network Availability. The Customer is responsible for (1) notifying the Contractor within 45 days after the end of the month when the service parameter within the calendar month falls below the committed level, and (2) requesting a service credit. Objective(s) 99.95% DTS/STND Escalation Process Upon verification by the Contractor that the actual service performance for that parameter was less than the committed level, the customer will be provided a service credit equal to 10% of the monthly recurring charge for that service parameter for all affected ports.

31 Page 31 of 67 OPT-E-MAN Packet Delivery Rate (PDR) Packet Delivery Rate (PDR) is a measurement of the actual amount of useful and non-redundant information that is transmitted or processed from end-toend across the network. It is a function of bandwidth, error performance, congestion and other factors. PDR is expressed as a percentage of Ethernet frames offered to the network that successfully traverse the network, end-toend, within the CIR, and within a 30 day period. PDR is calculated as the total number of effective Ethernet frames, per port, that successfully traverse the network divided by the total number of effective Ethernet frames, per port, offered to the network within a 30 day period. Those frames that violate the maximum range will be excluded from the calculation. PDR is measured by averaging sample measurements taken during a 30 day period from network terminating equipment to network terminating equipment to which the Customer ports are attached when the OPT-E-MAN network is available. This SLA does not apply to OPT-E-MAN Best Effort Grade of Service. Grade of Service SLAs are provided for OPT-E-MAN Service. If the Contractor fails to meet service parameters defined for each Grade of Service, a service credit will be offered to the Customer given certain conditions are met: The Customer is responsible for (1) notifying the Contractor within 45 days after the end of the month when the service parameter falls below (or above) the committed level, and (2) requesting a service credit. Upon notification by the Customer that the actual service performance for that parameter was less than the committed level, the Contractor has 30 days to correct the problem. Packet Delivery Rate, Latency and Jitter calculations will be measured only when the OPT-E-MAN network is available. Objective(s) Bronze Grade of Service: 99.5% Silver Grade of Service: 99.9% DTS/STND Escalation Process If after 30 days, the service performance for that parameter is still less than the committed level, the Customer will be provided a service credit equal to 25% of the monthly recurring charge for that service parameter for all affected ports for the month in which the service parameters fall below the committed level.

32 Page 32 of 67 OPT-E-MAN Latency Latency is the amount of time necessary for a typical frame to traverse the network. Latency is calculated as the measurement of time taken for a Customer frame to go from one end of the network (origination point) to the other end (termination point). The measurement will consist of measuring the time it takes to ping or travel from the origination to termination ports for the connection in question. Latency is measured by averaging sample measurements taken during a 30 day period between network terminating equipment to which the Customer ports are attached when the OPT-E-MAN network is available. Latency is limited to a delay across a one-way end-to-end connection within the Contractor s network for packets 1,500 bytes or less. This SLA does not apply to OPT-E-MAN Best Effort Grade of Service. Grade of Service SLAs are provided for OPT-E-MAN Service. If the Contractor fails to meet service parameters defined for each Grade of Service, a service credit will be offered to the Customer given certain conditions are met: The Customer is responsible for (1) notifying the Contractor within 45 days after the end of the month when the service parameter falls below (or above) the committed level, and (2) requesting a service credit. Upon notification by the Customer that the actual service performance for that parameter was less than the committed level, the Contractor has 30 days to correct the problem. Packet Delivery Rate, Latency and Jitter calculations will be measured only when the OPT-E-MAN network is available. Objective(s) Bronze Grade of Service: <27ms one way Silver Grade of Service: <18ms one way DTS/STND Escalation Process If after 30 days, the service performance for that parameter is still less than the committed level, the Customer will be provided a service credit equal to 25% of the monthly recurring charge for that service parameter for all affected ports for the month in which the service parameters fall above the committed level.

33 Page 33 of 67 OPT-E-MAN Jitter Jitter is the delay that occurs between two packets or Ethernet frames that are traversing the network. Jitter is calculated as the delay variance of the packets transported across the network or the delta of delay between two consecutive packets. It is measured between two endpoints, and will consist of measuring the time between a set of packets. Jitter is measured by averaging sample measurements taken during a 30 day period between network terminating equipment to which the Customer ports are attached when the OPT-E-MAN network is available. This SLA does not apply to OPT-E-MAN Best Effort Grade of Service. Grade of Service SLAs are provided for OPT-E-MAN Service. If the Contractor fails to meet service parameters defined for each Grade of Service, a service credit will be offered to the Customer given certain conditions are met: The Customer is responsible for (1) notifying the Contractor within 45 days after the end of the month when the service parameter falls below (or above) the committed level, and (2) requesting a service credit. Upon notification by the Customer that the actual service performance for that parameter was less than the committed level, the Contractor has 30 days to correct the problem. Packet Delivery Rate, Latency and Jitter calculations will be measured only when the OPT-E-MAN network is available. Objective(s) Bronze Grade of Service: N/A Silver Grade of Service: 12ms DTS/STND Escalation Process If after 30 days, the service performance for that parameter is still less than the committed level, the Customer will be provided a service credit equal to 25% of the monthly recurring charge for that service parameter for all affected ports for the month in which the service parameters fall above the committed level.

34 Page 34 of 67 ANIRA NBFW Time to Repair (TTR) Outage" means an occurrence within the AT&T Network and/or the AT&Tprovided dedicated access that is unrelated to the normal functioning of avpn and that results in the inability of Customer to transmit IP packets for more than one minute. If AT&T does not meet this performance objective in any given calendar month, Customer will be eligible for an AT&T VPN Site Availability/Time to Restore SLA credit for each Outage equal to the product of Customer s total discounted Covered AT&T VPN Monthly Charges for the affected MPLS Ports. Measurement of Time to Restore begins when a trouble ticket is opened by AT&T Customer Care and Customer releases the affected Service Component(s) to AT&T and ends when AT&T Customer Care makes its first attempt to notify Customer that the problem has been resolved and the Service Component(s) are restored and available for Customer to use. Time to Restore excludes Outage time that is outside of the standard operating hours of the local access provider used by AT&T for the affected Customer Site. Objective(s) 4 hours Failing to meet the SLA Objective shall result in a 15 percent rebate of the TMRC per occurrence (not to exceed 100% of MRC for month). DTS/STND Escalation Process N/A

35 Page 35 of 67 AVPN On-Time Provisioning SLA AT&T provides the Due Date to Customer after a Service Component is ordered. The Due Date for a Service Component may change if Customer requests any change to a Service Component after ordering. If AT&T agrees to expedite an order for a Service Component, the AT&T VPN On-Time Provisioning SLA applies the original Due Date provided by AT&T, not the expedited date. Objective The performance objective for the AT&T VPN On-Time Provisioning SLA is to complete installation of an AT&T VPN Service Component (as well as AT&T-provided access lines connected to such Service Component) by the applicable Due Date. DTS/ONS Escalation Process If AT&T does not meet this performance objective, Customer may elect one of the following remedies: cancel the order at no charge or receive a credit equal to one month s discounted monthly recurring charge for the AT&T VPN Service Component(s) that is not installed on time, after the installation is completed.

36 Page 36 of 67 AVPN Port-to-Port Data Delivery Rate (DDR) The AT&T VPN MPLS Port-to-MPLS Port Data Delivery percentage is calculated by dividing Data Received by Data Delivered during AT&T s testing and multiplying the result by 100. Data Delivered is the number of packets of data delivered to the VPN from the ingress MPLS Port. Data Received is the number of packets of data actually received from the VPN at the egress MPLS Port. The performance objectives for the AT&T VPN MPLS Port-to-MPLS Port Data Delivery SLA is for the AT&T VPN MPLS Port-to-MPLS Port Data Delivery percentage to be no less than 99.9%. If Customer reports that AT&T VPN MPLS Port-to-MPLS Port Data Delivery does not meet the performance objective, AT&T s testing verifies that AT&T does not meet the performance objective and AT&T fails to remedy the problem within thirty (30) days, the Customer will be eligible for an AT&T VPN MPLS Port-to-MPLS Port Data Delivery SLA credit. The AT&T VPN MPLS Port-to-MPLS Port Data Delivery percentage is calculated by dividing Data Received by Data Delivered during AT&T s testing and multiplying the result by 100. Objective(s) 99.9% DTS/STND Escalation Process 10% of Customer s discounted covered AT&T VPN monthly charges for the affected MPLS Ports

37 Page 37 of 67 AVPN Network Jitter AT&T VPN Network Jitter is a monthly measure of the AT&T networkwide IP packet delay variation, which is the average difference in the interval of time it takes during the applicable calendar month for selected pairs of test packets of data in data streams to travel between pairs of AT&T network backbone nodes in the US. The difference in time it takes a selected pair of test packets in a data stream to travel from one AT&T network backbone node in a pair to another is measured for all selected pairs of AT&T network backbone nodes in the US over the month. One of the test packets in the selected pair will always be a packet in the data stream that takes the least time to travel from one AT&T network backbone node in a pair to another. VPN Network Jitter for the month is the average of all of these measurements. Objective(s) 1 ms within the continental US DTS/STND Escalation Process If AT&T does not meet this performance objective, Customer will be eligible for an AT&T VPN Network Jitter SLA credit equal to 1/30th of Customer's total discounted covered AT&T VPN monthly charges for the MPLS ports for that month.

38 Page 38 of 67 Service AVPN Managed Router AVPN* * This SLA applies to AVPN transport service only when combined with the AVPN Managed Router Service Site-to-Site Data Delivery AVPN Managed Router Site-to-Site (CE-to-CE) Data Delivery Percentage is the average Data Delivery Percentage for that month for a Qualifying Pair calculated by dividing Data Received by Data Delivered segregated by COS, and multiplying by 100. Data Delivered is the number of test packets sent in a month by the sender CE router at one Qualifying Site for delivery to the receiver router at the other Qualifying Site in the Qualifying Pair. Data Received is the number of such test packets of data that are actually received by the receiver CE router at the Qualifying Site in the Qualifying Pair. To be eligible for and initiate a credit, the Customer must open a trouble ticket via Business Direct E-Maintenance. The site-to-site measurements are continuously compiled using the Cisco IOS IP SLA (formerly SAA) feature on the Managed Routers. The results are reported via Business Direct. In the network configuration process, the customer selects the site pairs for reporting. The number of site pairs is limited by two factors. One, a limit of 20 probes per sender and 800 probes per receiver. Second, the probe traffic must be considered in the overall design. Only COS common to the specific site pairs are measured. These designs will be determined in pre-implementation technical meetings once orders are placed. Site-to-Site Data Delivery measurements are reported in the Business Direct portal under AVPN Managed Site-to-Site Reports. Site-to-Site Data Delivery SLA is measured from the managed router at one Site to the managed router at the other Site in the Qualifying Pair for each class of service (CoS1, COS2 and CoS3). This SLA does not apply to CoS4. Validation of the first three (3) SLA claim requests for the same Qualified Site Pair during a sixmonth rolling period will be based on the Average column per the Site-to-Site Data Delivery Reports. Beginning with the fourth claim request, AT&T will base validation of the claim based on the Adjusted column per the Site-to-Site Data Delivery Reports. The metrics published in the 'Average' column account for all port utilization during the month. The metrics published in the 'Adjusted' column eliminate measurements taken during periods of excess port utilization which can increase the Customer's Latency, Data Delivery and Jitter. The utilization threshold for ports less than 512Kbps is 50%, 512Kbps and greater is 70%. Objective: Within the Continental US: CoS1 CoS2 CoS3 99.9% 99.9% 99.8% : 10 percent of TMRC (includes router and port) per monthly occurrence for the reported circuit.
