SCHEDULE 2.11
DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
----------------------
2.11.1 Data Processing.
----------------
If FDT declares the existence of a complete, unplanned interruption or
inaccessibility to the FDT Data Center used to provide the FDT
Services (a "Declared Disaster"), FDT shall make arrangements for the
resumption and continuation of vital data processing services to CSG
(the "Plan"). The resumption and continuation of vital data
processing services shall be provided at the Comdisco Recovery Center
in North Bergen, New Jersey, using off-site back-up copies of critical
application systems data sets in accordance with and subject to the
terms of governing contracts. Vital services shall include those data
processing services which are necessary for the survival of the
business and where there would be a substantial cost or expense
associated with the loss of the data processing services for which
there is no satisfactory backup procedure, and for which an outage
cannot be tolerated for more than forty-eight (48) consecutive hours.
The vital data processing services to CSG shall be made available by
means of communication between North Bergen, New Jersey, and selected
terminals in FDT's current network. The capacity of the Comdisco
facility currently has the capacity to enable FDT to run vital data
processing services for CSG for up to six (6) weeks and for a
"Coldsite" facility for up to six (6) months.
In the event of a Declared Disaster, FDT's Disaster Recovery
Management Team (DRMT) shall immediately assemble and determine
whether to establish processing at the Comdisco site. In the event
that it is determined that vital services can be resumed within forty-
eight (48) consecutive hours after FDT announces a Declared Disaster,
the DRMT will direct the resumption of such vital services, and will
not initiate the transfer of processing to Comdisco. If it is
determined that vital services cannot be resumed within forty-eight
(48) consecutive hours after FDT announced the Declared Disaster, the
DRMT shall immediately begin the implementation of the Plan, including
the initiating of procedures for the declaration of disasters under
applicable disaster recovery contracts and the establishment of
processing at the disaster recovery site in accordance herewith. FDT
shall recover the Systems Software and make it available to CSG within
18 hours after a Declared Disaster. As soon as processing is
established at the disaster recovery site, a determination will be
made as to whether additional equipment will be needed at the North
Bergen site to adequately handle longer term load requirements. Extra
data storage devices, tape drives, communication gear, and even
central processing mainframes (CPU's) can be acquired and installed in
a matter of hours or
Schedule 2.11 - Page 1
days to handle the anticipated load during a protracted remote-
processing period.
Operation of the Comdisco remote facility will be handled entirety by
FDT personnel. A Disaster Recovery Management Team (DRMT), composed
of management in each of six (6) functional areas, will direct travel
to North Bergen and to Denver Business Recovery Center, their staff at
the earliest opportunity to set-up the normal FDT Data Center
environment. The Hotsite Restoration Team (HRT), will then operate
the Comdisco data center for approximately the first forty-eight (48)
hours and be relived by a second wave of FDT personnel who will take
over and run the data center. The HRT and CSG conduct an annual
disaster recovery test.
Listed below is a summary of actions contemplated by the Plan:
- Operations Manager contacts the Executive Vice President of FDT
Data Center Operations that a potential disaster has occurred.
- The EVP will contact all direct reports and the Disaster Recovery
Coordinator.
- The DRM Team will perform a damage assessment and report a
recommendation.
- If the recommendation is to declare a Disaster, the EVP must
contact the EVP of ISD for approval.
- Declare a Declared Disaster by contacting the Hotsite and off-site
vendors.
- Notify and mobilize teams to appropriate locations.
- Reload system at Hotsite by restoring system software and customer
data.
- Activate back-up telecommunications lines and make necessary
hardware/software connections.
- Activate CICS regions and perform required operational functions.
- If necessary, prepare to use Coldsite if outage is greater than six
(6) weeks.
- Order, install and test hardware at Coldsite.
Schedule 2.11 - Page 2
- Migrate FDT Data Center to Coldsite.
- Rebuild FDT Data Center by ordering, installing and testing
hardware at such location.
- Migrate data center to FDT Data Center.
- Write management summary.
During the Term, FDT shall provide CSG with additional information
concerning the Plan as may be reasonably required in writing by CSG,
and which may require prior approval of Comdisco. FDT reserves the
right to change the Plan from time-to-time during the Term, provided
that any such change shall not degrade the quality of the Plan in any
manner which has a material, adverse impact on the data processing
services provided hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term, CSG may instruct FDT
to initiate the processes set forth in the Plan that occur prior to
the declaration of a Declared Disaster for CSG processing only if the
operating system incurs an outage greater than four (4) hours.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSG may also instruct FDT to declare a
Declared Disaster for CSG processing only if the operating system
incurs an outage greater than twelve (12) hours. If CSG instructs FDT
to declare a Declared Disaster, CSG shall pay to FDT FDT's insurance
deductible relating to such Declared Disaster (not to exceed $50,000
per instruction), provided, that if FDT subsequently makes a Declared
--------
Disaster for multiple clients, such deductible shall not be the
responsibility of CSG.
During the Term, CSG shall provide FDT with ninety (90) days advance
written notice of changes required by CSG relating to the hardware and
network to be used in connection with a Declared Disaster so that FDT
may coordinate such changes with Comdisco.

SCHEDULE 6.4
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Disputes shall be resolved as follows:
I. Informal Dispute Resolution.
----------------------------
(a) Upon the written request of either Party, both Parties will
appoint a designated representative who does not devote substantially all of his
or her time to performance under this Services Agreement, whose task it will be
to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such Dispute.
(b) The designated representatives shall meet as often as the
Parties reasonably deem necessary to discuss the problem in an effort to resolve
the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.
(c) Formal proceedings for the resolution of a Dispute may not be
commenced until the earlier of:
(i) the designated representatives concluding in good faith that
amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does
not appear likely; or
(ii) the expiration of the 30-day period immediately following
the initial request to negotiate the Dispute;
provided, however, that this Section I of this Schedule 6.4 will not
----------------- ------------------------------
be construed to prevent a Party from instituting formal proceedings earlier
to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a
superior position with respect to other creditors or to seek temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Services
-----------
Agreement.
II. Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute as
-----------
contemplated by Section I of this Schedule 6.4 and if such Dispute is not
------------------------------
subject to Section 6.5.1 of the Services Agreement, then such Dispute shall be
-------------
submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration at the election of either Party
(the "Disputing Party"). Except as otherwise provided in this Section II of
-------------
this Schedule 6.4, the arbitration shall be pursuant to the Commercial
- -----------------

be by a majority vote of the arbitrators.
(b) The arbitration hearing shall be held in such neutral location
as the Parties may mutually agree. The Arbitration Panel shall have the power
and authority to exclude evidence on grounds of prejudice, immateriality, or
redundancy, and no ruling by the Arbitration Panel rejecting evidence on any of
these grounds shall be a reason for vacating the arbitration award. The Party
bringing a particular claim or asserting an affirmative defense will have the
burden of proof with respect thereto. The arbitration proceedings and all
testimony, filings, documents and information relating to or presented during
the arbitration proceedings shall be deemed to be confidential information
subject to Section 10 of the Services Agreement. The Arbitration Panel will

arbitrator shall be replaced by the Party who selected such arbitrator, or if
such arbitrator was selected by the two Party-appointed arbitrators, by such two
Party-appointed arbitrators selecting a new third arbitrator in accordance with
Section II(a) of this Schedule 6.4. Each such replacement arbitrator shall
- ----------------------------------
satisfy the Basic Qualifications. If an arbitrator is replaced pursuant to this
Section II(c) of this Schedule 6.4 after the arbitration hearing has commenced,
- ----------------------------------
then a rehearing shall take place in accordance with the provisions of this
Section II of Schedule 6.4 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA.
- --------------------------
Schedule 6.4 -- Page 2
(d) Within 15 days after the closing of the arbitration hearing, the
Arbitration Panel shall prepare and distribute to the Parties a writing setting

conclusive and binding upon the Parties and any judgement thereon may be entered
and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) Each Party will bear 50% of all fees, costs and expenses of the
arbitrators, and notwithstanding any law to the contrary, each Party will bear
all the fees, costs and expenses of its own attorneys, experts and witnesses;

- -------- -------
arbitration pursuant to this Services Agreement or to enforce any award rendered
by the Arbitration Panel, the prevailing Party in such a proceeding will be
entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in
connection with such proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may
be entitled.
(h) Prompt disposal of any Dispute is important to the Parties. The
Parties shall conduct resolution of each Dispute expeditiously and shall use
their reasonable best efforts to finally dispose of each Dispute within 365 days
