1.     MAINTENANCE.  SunGard shall maintain vendor-specified proper operating environments at its facilities and in its vehicles used to provide the Recovery Services.  SunGard shall adhere to vendor-recommended procedures and policies for proper maintenance of the Recovery Resources, including necessary remedial maintenance and regularly scheduled preventive maintenance.  SunGard warrants to Customer that the Recovery Resources shall be maintained in a state of readiness at all times, consistent with SunGard’s obligations under this Master Agreement.

 

2.     SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.  SunGard may change the Recovery Resources and shall give written notice to Customer at least 60 days before making any significant change that might substantially and adversely impact Customer.  Customer shall then have an adequate and reasonable number of free additional Test Periods to Test the affected Recovery Services.  If, in Customer’s reasonable judgment, any such change substantially and adversely impacts Customer to the extent that Customer cannot use the affected Recovery Services, then Customer may terminate the affected Recovery Services by giving written notice to SunGard within ten (10) days after Customer first uses the affected Recovery Services for either a Disaster or Test.

 

3.     AUDITS.  At any time except when the Recovery Resources are being used during a disaster or a confidential test.  Customer may, at its expense, audit the Recovery Resources to verify SunGard’s compliance with this Master Agreement.  SunGard also shall permit any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Customer to inspect the Recovery Resources.  SunGard shall, at its expense, have the Recovery Resources annually reviewed by an independent third-party auditor, whose reports shall be furnished to Customer upon request.

 

4.     STANDARD PROCEDURES.  SunGard shall maintain reasonable and uniform policies regarding security, safety, operations and other procedures for accessing and using the Recovery Resources during disasters and tests.  In the case of network resources, these policies (“Network Policies”) incorporate the policies, rules and regulations of SunGard’s underlying network and internet service providers.  All of these policies are included in SunGard’s on-line User Guide and in other written documents provided by SunGard to its Customers from time to time.  Both SunGard and Customer shall comply with these policies in all material respects and shall use all Recovery Resources in accordance with manufacturer specifications.  Before the conclusion of any Test or Disaster, Customer shall remove, erase or destroy all Customer Confidential Information it maintained in any form, recorded on any medium, or stored in any storage system as part of its use of the Recovery Services.

 

5.     SPECIAL PROCEDURES.  If Customer gives written notice to SunGard describing any special data protection or other security procedures used by Customer, then SunGard shall use commercially reasonable efforts to help implement those procedures whenever Customer is using the Recovery Resources.  Customer shall be responsible for any additional expenses reasonably incurred by SunGard in implementing Customer’s special procedures.

 

6.     MOBILE RESOURCES.  Title to all of the Recovery Resources used to provide Mobile Recovery Services (“Mobile Resources”), wherever located, shall remain in SunGard or its supplier, except for any Quick Ship Equipment as to which Customer properly exercises its purchase option, if any, described in the applicable Schedule.  With respect to any Mobile Resources for which the destination is not a SunGard facility, (a) Customer shall obtain or provide, at Customer’s expense, all permits, landlord consents and other authorizations, and all communications, power and other utility lines and equipment, needed to possess, locate or use the Mobile Resources at that destination, (b) Customer shall be responsible for the security of the Mobile Resources at that destination, (c) with respect to any SunGard vehicle.  Customer shall provide a suitable location for SunGard to park the vehicle (which location SunGard may disapprove in its reasonable discretion), (d) Customer shall not relocate the Mobile Resources without SunGard’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably

withheld, (e) when Customer’s use or right to use the Mobile Resources during a Disaster or Test ends, Customer shall comply with SunGard’s return delivery or shipment instructions, and (f) if the Mobile Resources do not include a SunGard vehicle, then Customer shall provide a proper operating environment for the Mobile Resources.

 

7.     NETWORK RESOURCES.  SunGard shall privately manage the SGN as a protocol-independent, multi-layer network.  After Customer has been switched onto the SGN, the applicable Network Services will be available on a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week basis excluding downtime attributable to routine and preventative maintenance.  Dedicated circuits connecting Customer locations to SunGard facilities or SGN POPs are provided by third parties and do not constitute Recovery Resources.  The Network Services are provided subject to the availability of the necessary services by SunGard’s underlying network and Internet service providers.  SunGard may, without penalty, and by providing Customer with thirty (30) days prior written notice, terminate any Schedule or withhold provision of the Network Services if:  (a) SunGard’s underlying network and Internet service providers withdraw or substantially alter any underlying tariff(s) resulting in a material, adverse effect on SunGard’s operational or financial ability to provide the Network Services; or (b) any public utility commission or other regulatory authority asserts jurisdiction over the Network Services, such that SunGard would be required to submit to common carrier public utility or other regulation to which SunGard is not now subject.

 

8.     FEES AND EXPENSES.  Customer shall be responsible for (a) any applicable Disaster Fees as indicated on a Schedule, (b) all communications and similar third party charges resulting from Customer’s use of the Recovery Resources, (c) all power, fuel and other utility charges resulting from Customer’s use of the Recovery Resources, except the initial six weeks of Hotsite use and except for Tests, (d) all costs associated with the transportation, delivery, operation and ongoing support of Mobile Resources used by Customer, and (e) all costs associated with the installation and de-installation of Mobile Resources used by Customer at non-SunGard locations.

 

C.            MULTIPLE DISASTER.  Customer’s rights of immediate and exclusive use of the Recovery Services, as provided in Section A2, shall be subject to the possibility that one or more other customers (“other affected customers”) could declare a disaster at the same time as (or before or after) Customer and require use of the same Recovery Resources at the same time as Customer (“Multiple Disaster”).  The following provisions are intended to avoid or minimize contention for Recovery Resources during Multiple Disasters.

 

1.     PRIORITY RESOURCES AND SHARED RESOURCES.  All Recovery Resources shall be available on a priority use basis (“Priority Resources”) except for those designated by SunGard as available on a shared use basis (“Shared Resources”).  SunGard’s designations of Shared Resources shall be made in its reasonable discretion and shall be subject to change without notice.

 

2.     ACCESS AND USE PROCEDURES.  Access to and use of Recovery Resources during disasters shall depend upon whether the Recovery Resources are Priority Resources or Shared Resources and, with respect to Priority Resources, the order in which disasters are declared.  SunGard shall maintain records of its receipt of disaster declarations, which shall be the exclusive basis for determining the order in which disasters are declared.

 

(a)   Customer shall have priority rights of access to and use of applicable Priority Resources that are not then being used by other affected customers who previously declared disasters.  Use of such Priority Resources is exclusive for as long as Customer is entitled to use them under Section A2.

 

(b)   Customer and all other affected customers shall have equal rights of access to and use of applicable Shared Resources, irrespective of the order in

which disasters occur or are declared.  Use of Shared Resources may be exclusive at times, but remains subject to the possible need for shared or allocated use with other affected customers.  In an effort to avoid the need for shared or allocated use of any Shared Resources, SunGard shall, to the fullest extent possible under the circumstances, take full advantage of, and provide access to, all of its other available Shared Resources.

 

(c)   If applicable Priority Resources and applicable Shared Resources are both available.  Customer may choose which type to use.

 

(d)   Customer shall cooperate with SunGard and all other affected customers as reasonably required under the circumstances, including to coordinate the efficient use of Recovery Resources, to avoid or minimize the need for shared or allocated use of Shared Resources, and to implement any necessary plans for shared or allocated use of Shared Resources.

 

(e)   If a Multiple Disaster is widespread or extreme, then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, SunGard may implement emergency procedures that are necessary, in SunGard’s reasonable judgment, to allocate Recovery Resources in order to address applicable national interests and comparable concerns.

 

3.     MULTIPLE DISASTER PROTECTION.  To lower the probability of a Multiple Disaster, SunGard shall comply with the following terms:

 

(a)   No other customer shall be granted any greater rights of access to or use of the Recovery Resources than are granted to Customer under this Master Agreement.

 

(b)   No agreement to provide use of any Recovery Resources shall be entered into at a time when the customer location to be serviced is then currently experiencing a disaster.

 

For Center-Based Recovery Services, SunGard also shall comply with the following:

 

(c)   To discourage unnecessary disaster declarations, Disaster Declaration Fees, as provided in the Schedules, shall be charged whenever a customer declares a disaster.

 

(d)   To discourage unnecessary use of the Recovery Resources, Daily Usage Fees, as provided in the Schedules, shall be charged for use of the Recovery Resources other than for tests.

 

4.     CRISIS MANAGEMENT.  Whenever SunGard learns of an approaching storm or other situation that might cause a Multiple Disaster, SunGard shall monitor the situation and use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate contingency plans with all potentially affected customers.
