"WORKAROUND" means a fix to an Incident, such that after the fix is implemented

1.5 CRITICAL SERVICE LEVEL FAILURES
A "CRITICAL SERVICE LEVEL FAILURE" will be deemed to occur whenever HP-OMS'
level of performance for a particular Critical Service Level fails to meet the
Critical Service Level as specified so designated in APPENDIX A, SECTION 2
herein for that Service Level.
A "CRITICAL SERVICE LEVEL FAILURE RATE" will be calculated by dividing the sum

Level Credit that will be computed in accordance with the following
formula:
Service Level Credit = A x B x C
Where:
A = The Service Level Credit Allocation Percentage as specified in
APPENDIX A for the Critical Service Level as to which the Critical
Service Level Failure occurred.
7
PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FROM THE SEC
Service Levels and Service Level Credits
B = the At Risk Amount.
C = CRITICAL SERVICE LEVEL FAILURE RATE.
For example, assume that during the one month Measurement Period HP-OMS
fails to meet the Minimum Service Level with respect to a Critical
Service Level for the same Incident (as set forth in Appendix A)
twenty-two (22) out of one hundred (100) such Incidents. Also, assume
that HP-OMS' Monthly Target Charges for the month in which the Critical
Service Level Failure occurred were $400,000, the At Risk Amount is 8%
of the Monthly Target Charges, and that the Service Level Credit
Allocation Percentage for such Critical Service Level Failure (as would
also be set forth on Appendix A) is 8% and that. The Service Level
Credit due to Customer for such Critical Service Level Failure would be
computed as follows:
A = 8% (the assumed Service Level Credit
Allocation Percentage),
multiplied by $400,000
B = $32,000 (the At-Risk Amount).
multiplied by
C = 22/100=0.22
= $7,040 (the amount of the Service Level Credit)
B. If more than one Critical Service Level Failure has occurred in a single
month, the sum of the corresponding Service Level Credits shall be
credited to Customer.
C. If the accumulated amount of a Service Level Credit which was calculated
for a Measurement Period is less then one (1%) percent of the At Risk
Amount, HP-OMS will not credit the Customer for any Service Level Credit
for such Measurement Period.
D. In no event shall the aggregate amount of Service Level Credits credited
to Customer with respect to all Critical Service Level Failures
occurring in a single month exceed, in total, the At Risk Amount.

E. Customer and/or HP-OMS may initiate Commercial Change Management Request
if either party wishes to make changes to the Critical Service Levels,
Service Level Credit Allocation Percentages for any Critical Service
Level specified in Appendix A to Exhibit C, such change shall be deemed
a Commercial Change (as defined in EXHIBIT B, SECTION 8.2, TABLE 8
(CHANGE CATEGORIES), provided the Change has a major commercial effect
on the Agreement and/or has a major effect on the business processes of
either party and affects more than one (1) Customer Site. In such case,
the Change Management Process set out in Exhibit B for Commercial
Changes (the "Commercial Change Management Process") shall apply by

notices shall include changes necessary to accommodate the addition of
new Critical Service Levels made pursuant to SECTION [1.7] (ADDITIONS,
MODIFICATIONS AND DELETIONS OF CRITICAL SERVICE LEVELS) below. In no
event may the total Service Level Credit Allocation Percentages for all
Critical Service Levels exceed [**] percent ([**]%).
F. By the fifteenth (15) day of each quarter, HP-OMS shall notify Customer
in writing of any Critical Service Level Failures in the preceding three
(3) months and any Service Level Credits associated with such Critical
Service Level Failures.
G. [**] ([**]%) percents of the total amount of Service Level Credits that
HP-OMS is obligated to pay to Customer with respect to Critical Service
Level Failures occurring each month, shall be reflected on the quarterly
invoices that contain charges for the quarter following the month during
which the Critical Service Level Failure(s) giving rise to such
credit(s) occurred (e.g., the amount of Service Level Credits payable
with respect to Critical Service Level Failures occurring in July,
August and Septembershall be set forth in the quarterly invoice for the
Target Price due for September, October and November (issued in
October)). [**] ([**]%) percents of the total amount of Service Level
Credits that HP-OMS is obligated to pay to Customer, shall be credited
to the Customer's Bank of Working Hours according to the rates detailed
in Exhibit E Section 3.2. Such hours can also be used for projects with
up to [**] ([**]) working hours.
