Definitions

1.1 APAR means the completed form entitled “Authorized Program Analysis Report” that is used to report suspected Code or documentation errors, and to request their correction.

1.2 APAR Closing Codes means the established set of codes used to denote the final resolution of an APAR. Buyer will identify APAR Closing Codes prior to the start of the maintenance obligations.

1.3 APAR Correction Times means the objectives that Supplier targets to achieve resolution of errors and distribution of the correction to Buyer.

SEVERITY LEVELS AND THE SUPPLIER SUPPORT RESPONSE AND RESOLUTIONS TIMES


	Target Response
Case Severity	Time*	Target Escalation to Development*	Target Resolution**

Severity 1 Critical	[**] hour	[**] business hours	Provide action plan within [**] hours from problem identification

Severity 2 High	[**] business hours	[**] business days	Solution or workaround within [**] business days from problem identification

Severity 3 Medium	[**] business hours	[**] business days	Workaround within [**] business days from problem identification

Severity 4 Low	[**] business hours	After a technical support engineer validates or reproduces the problem	Brocade will decide within [**] days if the RFE will be incorporated into a future product release


**		The times listed in this chart are targets only and are not a guarantee that Brocade will respond or resolve an issue within the target time.

The business days begin when Supplier receives the APAR and supporting documentation and end when the Error Correction or other resolution is shipped to Buyer. Buyer will consider exceptions from these objectives when warranted by technical or business considerations.

1.4 APAR Severity Levels means designations assigned by Buyer to errors to indicate the seriousness of the error based on the impact that the error has on the customer’s operation:

	a.		Severity 1 is a critical problem. The customer cannot use the Product or there is a critical impact on the customer’s operations which requires an immediate solution;

	b.		Severity 2 is a major problem. The customer can use the Product, but an important function is not available or the customer’s operations are severely impacted;

	c.		Severity 3 is a minor problem. The customer can use the Product with some functional restrictions, but it does not have a severe or critical impact on the customer’s operations;

			And

	d.		Severity 4 is a minor problem that is not significant to the customer’s operations. The customer may be able to circumvent the problem.

The Developer Test Systems will consist of the appropriate configured workstations only unless Buyer specifies and provides Supplier other equipment at no charge.

1.6 Buyer Test Systems means an appropriate configuration of installed hardware and software that Buyer maintains which is representative of typical Buyer customer installations using the Product. These test systems will contain, at a minimum, a level of prerequisite/co-requisite hardware and software that is correspondent with that of the Developer Test Systems.

	a.		Level 1 is the service provided in response to the customer’s initial phone call identifying and error.

	b.		Level 2 is the service provided to reproduce and attempt to correct the error or to find that the service provider cannot reproduce the error.

1.8 Problem Determination means the process of determining whether a problem is being caused by hardware, software or documentation.

1.9 Problem Management Record (“PMR”) means a record created when a customer makes the initial support request. This record becomes a part of the Problem Management System database and records the essential information about the customer question or problem.

1.10 Problem Management System (PMS”) means an internal Buyer developed software system used to record customer demographic information and encode data about the reported question or problem. The PMS will handle the dispatching of the call record. The PMS will provide management reports of the call activity, and the recording and tracking of all questions and problems to final resolution.

Maintenance and Support Responsibilities

2.1 The parties will agree to the specific details of the process flow each will follow to resolve customer calls for requests for support thirty (30) days prior to the general availability of the product.

2.1.1. Entitlement Process: Supplier will provide software support for all calls from Buyer and Buyer customers. Buyer will prepay supplier for first year maintenance and support in the price of the product. Prior to October 22, 2008, the parties agree that they will work together to establish procedures whereby 1) Supplier will establish a unique identifier within the StorageX product and 2) Buyer will develop an automated Ship Report which will be provided to Supplier on a weekly basis.

2.1.2 Maintenance Services: All version-to-version upgrades will be free to buyer and buyer’s customer. When supplier builds new functionality into a new release or version for additional charges, that new functionality must be represented in a separate feature code or codes which could be chargeable, or in a new, separately-priceable version with new features. If the new functionality is not a separately priced feature, it is part of the base code or originally purchased feature structure. Any customer under current maintenance and support (IBM Software Maintenance) will be entitled to the new code release or version for use at that same use authorization level.

Supplier will provide Level 3 support to IBM and its customers as long as maintenance and support fees are up to date. If a customer is on a down-level version or release of software, Brocade will take the support call. If a problem is identified that requires a bug fix or patch, Supplier’s customer will be instructed to move to the current version/release of the software for support of such problem. Supplier will not make code changes or fixes to down-level software.

2.2 Supplier will provide Buyer electronic (soft copy) information on any known problems in the Licensed Work and the work arounds and solutions, if available, within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this SOW.

	c.		search the Buyer data base for known problems;

	d.		provide the available resolution if the problem is known;

	e.		recommend local Buyer assistance as required;

	f.		if no resolution, pass the PMR to Level 2; and

	g.		update the PMR documenting Level 1 actions.

Buyer will be the primary customer contact point for questions, problems and assistance concerning the Product. Buyer may use a third party to perform its obligations.

2.4 Thirty (30) days prior to general availability of the Product, Supplier will establish a process to check incoming electronic requests for Level 3 support at least twice daily.

2.5 Buyer will perform the following Level 2 support responsibilities.

Level 2. Buyer will:

	(1)		Receive the PMR/APAR from Level 1;

	(2)		Analyze problem symptoms and gather additional data from the customer as required;

	(3)		Recreate the problem on the Developer Test System;

	(4)		Determine if the error is due to improper installation of the Product by the customer;

	(5)		determine if the suspected error is due to prerequisite or operationally related equipment or software at the customer location;

	(6)		Attempt a bypass or circumvention for high impact problems, i.e., Severity 1 and 2:

	(7)		if no resolution and the problem appears to be a newly discovered Code or documentation error, create an APAR record.

	(8)		if Supplier requests, Buyer will assist Supplier in obtaining additional information or materials from the customer to support Level 3 Problem Determination, Problem Source Identification and problem resolution; and

	(9)		update the PMR, documenting Level 2 actions.

Level 3. Supplier will perform the following Level 3 support responsibilities

3.2 For verified APARs for the Licensed Work, Supplier will provide Error Corrections as set out below within the applicable APAR Correction Times:

a.		the fix to the Object Code in machine-readable form including a hard copy description of the Error Corrections (which may include a paper submission of the Error Corrections);

b.		the Error Corrections to the source Code in machine-readable form that corresponds to the Object Code Error Corrections; and

c.		for a procedural work-around, the corrected procedure in machine-readable form.
