Licensor and Cisco agree that, if the Counternotice is given by Licensor pursuant to Section 7 above, then the parties shall submit the dispute to expedited binding arbitration in New York, New York under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures for adjudication by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, with one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with said rules selected by each party, and a third arbitrator selected by the parties’ arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted within thirty (30) days of the date of filing of a demand for expedited binding arbitration with JAMS by either party. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

The parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and that this decision shall be immediately delivered to the parties to the arbitration and to Escrow Agent. If the arbitrator finds that the Notice was properly given by Cisco, then the arbitrator shall order the Escrow Agent to promptly and immediately release the Escrow Materials to Cisco. If the arbitrator finds to the contrary, then the Arbitrator shall order the Escrow Agent not to release the Escrow Materials. The non-prevailing party in the arbitration shall pay all fees charged by JAMS.

All costs of the arbitration incurred by Escrow Agent, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by the non-prevailing party.

9.2. Except for disputes subject to Section 9.1 above, a party shall file a mediation demand with JAMS of Northern California, with the non-binding mediation to take place in either Santa Clara or San Francisco Counties, California. The parties will work in good faith to select a mediator who is knowledgeable and experienced in the subject matter of this Escrow Agreement.

In establishing appropriate corrective action, Licensor shall promptly isolate, identify and develop a workaround and corrective action for any material performance or functional deviations from the Hosting Service or Licensor Content specifications. Licensor will prepare an action plan that specifies the activities required to correct any deviation and the order and schedule of corrective actions required, and that identifies the Party responsible for performing each such corrective action. Licensor will execute all activities assigned to it in the plan and will monitor, and provide Cisco regular reports of, the progress made in executing the plan and correcting the deviation until each such deviation is corrected to Cisco’s satisfaction. A “Chronic Outage” is defined as any outage for a period longer than 24 hours and any period where the Maximum Total Credit is reached for any three (3) consecutive billing periods during the term of the Agreement.

 

Any Severity 1 or 2 issue that affects at least three (3) Cisco customers and cannot be resolved in a 1 month period will be considered a “Chronic Performance Issue”. In the event of a Chronic Performance Issue, Cisco shall have the right to provide technical assistance to support Licensor with the triage and resolution of the underlying issue or defect.

An Outage Event is an event where stated availability service level commitment is not met for the Hosting Service for a Cisco Customer. ***

a)    The service levels are applicable to Hosting Services End Users using Licensor production systems only.

b)    These service levels do not apply to all non-production environments including staging, pilot, training, and testing environments. Although periodic use of the staging environment is requested for Cisco Customer testing or training, Licensor cannot ensure that this staging environment will be available.

c)    The availability service level applies only to downtime due in whole or in part to Licensor’s inability to provide the Hosting Services to End Users which are not attributable to events of Force Majeure, provided Licensor has and continues to use its highest commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or otherwise mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure events.

c)    Cisco shall not have any remedies under any service level to the extent any service level claim is due to: (i) Cisco equipment and/or third party software, hardware or network infrastructure outside of Licensor’s and/or its subcontractor’s data center(s) and not under the control of Licensor or its subcontractors; (ii) failure of Cisco to meet the configuration requirements for Cisco equipment set forth in the system specifications/functional design documentation; (iii) failure of the external internet beyond Licensor‘s network; or (iv) any actions or inactions of Cisco, Cisco Customer or any other third party not under the control of Licensor or its subcontractors such as a “Denial of Service Attack”, provided Licensor has and continues to use its highest commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or otherwise mitigate the effects of such Denial of Service Attack events.

Credit will not be given for any events resulting from an interruption or shut down of the Hosting Services due to circumstances reasonably believed by Licensor to be a significant threat to the normal operation of the Hosting Services, the Licensor facility, or access to or integrity of Cisco data (e.g., hacker or virus attack). In the event of such an interruption or shutdown, Licensor will return Hosting Services to normal operation as soon as highest commercially reasonably possible.
