  17.11.1 secure a licence or other arrangement to enable Orange to continue to use or receive the Software; or

 

  17.11.2 modify that aspect of the Software which is claimed to be infringing so that it no longer constitutes an infringement. Any such modification shall not degrade performance or functionality.

 

  17.12 In the event that neither of the above options in 17.11 is available then SEVEN or Orange may terminate the relevant part of this Agreement with immediate effect and SEVEN shall forthwith fully reimburse Orange in respect of all sums paid by Orange to SEVEN under this Agreement in respect of the relevant Software.

2 TESTING PHASES

 

2.1 Overview

 

Testing will consist of the following major stages for the SEVEN deliverable: -

 

1. Internal Validation Testing

 

2. Preliminary Acceptance Testing

 

3. Orange Acceptance Testing

 

4. Customer Trial

 

This document deals specifically with tests 1 to 3, test 4 is the subject of a separate success criteria document

 

Orange Technical for Business Solutions (T4BS) will be responsible for carrying out Internal Validation Testing (IVT) with the assistance of SEVEN. Preliminary Acceptance Testing (PAT) will be carried out by SEVEN in accordance with the SRS and TTRM and will be witnessed by the Orange test team. Orange Acceptance Testing (OAT) is the responsibility of Orange.

 

Each test will run within the scope of its own test scripts and acceptance criteria.

 

2.2 Internal Validation Testing

 

2.2.1 Purpose

 

The purpose of IVT is to confirm that the System SEVEN product including CP1 and CP2 functionality as outlined in the product specification functions as stated using a vanilla platform (Exchange 5.5, E2K, Notes 4.6 and Notes R5) over Internet SSL and secure VPN. The Orange Technical for Business Solutions team will carry out the test assisted by SEVEN. The results of the test will be made available to SEVEN and will be either a pass or fail. Any items that fail IVT will need to be rectified by SEVEN prior to product launch (but may not necessarily facilitate an overall product ‘fail’)

 

2.2.2 Test Specifications

 

Test specifications were designed by T4BS and included:

 

2.2.2.1.1 Responsibilities

 

Identifies resources required to implement the specification. It covers the individuals responsible for managing, controlling, designing, executing, witnessing and analysing test activities.

 

2.2.3 Purpose of test

 

To confirm the product works as described by SEVEN

 

2.2.3.1.1 Entry Criteria

 

Lists the tasks and deliverables required before testing can start. For example, hardware and software levels, other testing, equipment configuration and any special test tools.

 

2.2.3.1.2 Pass/Fail Criteria

 

Details expected result as well as any observations that are required.

 

2.2.3.1.3 Sequence of Test Execution

 

The execution sequence of tests and component test cases will be listed.

 


Document Owner: Pat Coxen

   Issue Date: 28.11.02    Page 5 of 16


2.2.3.1.4 Test Details

 

Each step involved in executing a test case will be allocated a reference. Each step will clearly detail either an action or expected result.

 

2.2.3.1.5 Identification

 

Each test case will be uniquely identified.

 

2.2.3.1.6 Environment and Data

 

Lists the pre-conditions, resources, test tools and data requirements for executing test cases.

 

2.2.3.1.7 Test Schedule and Tasks

 

Specifies the scheduling, dependencies and duration of testing activities.

 

2.2.4 Test Execution

 

Orange will work together with SEVEN to execute the test. The test team will maintain a log providing an overview detailing all tests executed during the IVT period. Orange will produce test logs recording the status & results of each test executed.

 

SEVEN will be required to have a procedure for reporting, recording, tracking and resolving faults identified during testing. Areas impacted by any modifications should be identified and re-tested.

 

Upon completion of IVT, Orange and SEVEN will produce final versions of all test and fault logs including a statement of whether the test was a pass or fail.

 

IVT will not be considered complete, and Orange will not consider acceptance of the software, until all tests have been successfully completed and all faults have been resolved. Orange may at it’s own discretion provisionally accept software that has not been fully tested or has faults outstanding provided that a satisfactory resolution plan is provided by the Contractor.

 

It is SEVEN’s responsibility to source all test equipment required for ISAT. However, Orange will endeavour to provide data that can be utilised to make tests using simulated interfaces as accurate as possible.

 

2.3 Preliminary Acceptance Testing

 

The PAT will take place between 2.12.02 and 30.12.02. The PAT will be a full technical test of the customised System SEVEN product carried out by the Orange test team. The basis for the test is the Office Freedom SRS and TTRM. The output from the test will be a test report and a pass/fail statement.

 

Preliminary Acceptance Testing is the responsibility of SEVEN and will take place at SEVEN’s premises or where appropriate in the Orange Testbed. The aim of PAT will be to prove that the delivered system/solution complies with the contractually agreed technical and performance specifications.

 

It is important to note that PAT is a full and complete verification of Orange’s requirements. The Orange expectation is that the output of PAT is a fully functioning deliverable that could be deployed, if necessary, immediately into service.

2.3.1 Test To Requirements Matrix (TTRM)

 

A TTRM for PAT will be agreed between SEVEN and Orange. This matrix (format and content to be mutually agreed) will map the SEVEN’s individual test cases to Orange’s technical requirements outlined in the technical specification documentation, including but no limited to the RFP, Technical Annex and System Requirements Specification.

 

2.3.2 Scope

 

PAT testing will include, but not be limited, to the following:

At least 1 month, or by mutual agreement, prior to the scheduled start of PAT, SEVEN will produce and submit PAT Procedures to Orange for their approval. The Test Procedures will be derived from the Test Specifications.

 

2.3.6 Test Scripts

 

SEVEN will write any test scripts to be executed during PAT. Orange will have the right to keep and re-use these test scripts, only for the purposes of Office Freedom system testing (OAT). All test scripts will be produced and maintained by SEVEN in an electronic format that can be readily accessed and used by Orange personnel.

 

2.3.7 Test Execution

 

Orange has the option to witness all or any part of PAT. Orange will be notified at least 1 week in advance, or by mutual agreement of the start of PAT.

 

SEVEN will maintain a daily log providing a brief overview of the main events of each day during the PAT period. This will supplement the detailed recording of each test procedure.

 

SEVEN will produce test logs recording the status & results of each test executed. Any printer output generated during testing will be identified and kept for future reference. Any tests not witnessed by Orange will be recorded as such on the test results.

SEVEN will provide a procedure for reporting, recording, tracking and resolving faults identified during testing.

 

Areas impacted by any modifications should be identified and re-tested. The set of regression tests selected to be performed following any modification will be approved by Orange.

 

Upon completion of PAT, SEVEN will provide Orange with copies of the final versions of all test and fault logs.

 

PAT will not be considered complete, and Orange will not consider accepting the system, until all tests have been successfully completed and all faults have been resolved. Orange may at it’s own discretion provisionally accept software that has not been fully tested or has faults outstanding provided that a satisfactory resolution plan is provided by SEVEN.

 

It is the SEVEN’s responsibility to source all test equipment required for PAT. However, Orange will endeavour to provide data that can be utilised to make tests using simulated interfaces as accurate as possible.

 

SEVEN will at the Test Readiness Review confirm the names of the SEVEN personnel who will be supporting the testing, from both a UK Support and Application Development perspective. These names may be changed at SEVEN’s discretion, as determined to be appropriate. However, Orange will be notified of any changes in key personnel.

 

2.3.8 PAT Phase Reviews

 

PAT will be preceded by a Test Readiness Review (sample agenda in Appendix A) and concluded with a Test Review (sample agenda in Appendix B). Orange will be notified at least 1 week in advance of these reviews and will have the option to attend.

 

2.4 Orange Acceptance Testing

 

The purpose of Orange Acceptance Testing (OAT) is to prove that the delivered system functions correctly in accordance with the contractually agreed specifications in a representative network environment. The OAT will take place before 27.12.02 The output of the test will be a pass/fail statement

 

2.4.1 Scope

 

OAT is the responsibility of Orange and will be executed in the Orange Testbed and where possible a test environment connected to the live network. Orange will strive to ensure that testing in these two environments will occur simultaneously.

 

It is important to consider OAT not only as the testing of new systems or software but also and most importantly the integration and testing of a new service within the Orange network. Therefore the scope of OAT is not limited to the suppliers software and hardware.

 

Testing will include, but not be limited to, the following:

 

2.4.1.1 Installation, Upgrade and Reversion

 

The process defined for installation, upgrade and reversion will be thoroughly proven during OAT.

 


Document Owner: Pat Coxen

   Issue Date: 28.11.02    Page 9 of 16


2.4.1.2 Functionality

 

A comprehensive subset of functionality tests will be proven against non simulated interfaces.

 

2.4.1.3 Application

 

Application testing will already have been comprehensively proven in PAT. A representative subset of application tests will have to be proven against non-simulated interfaces.

 

2.4.1.4 Provisioning

 

Integration with and acceptance testing of the Network Mediation software will occur within OAT, if applicable.

 

2.4.2 Test Specifications

 

Orange will notify SEVEN of the OAT schedule at least 1 month prior to the proposed start of testing or by mutual agreement. Orange will produce a test plan, which will be reviewed by SEVEN and will outline the following:

 

2.4.2.1 Responsibilities

 

Identifies resources to implement the specification. It covers the individuals responsible for managing, controlling, designing, executing, witnessing or analysing test activities.

 

2.4.2.2 Purpose of OAT

 

2.4.2.3 Entry Criteria

 

Lists the tasks and deliverables before testing can start. For example, hardware and software levels, other testing, equipment configuration, special test tools.

 

2.4.2.4 Pass/Fail Criteria

 

Details expected results as well as any observations that are required.

 

2.4.2.5 Verification cross-reference Index

 

The OAT test should be linked to a testable requirement.

 

2.4.2.6 Sequence of Test Execution

 

The planned sequence of test execution and component test cases will be listed.

 

2.4.2.7 OAT Details

 

Each step involved in executing a test case will be allocated a reference. Each step will clearly detail either an action or expected result.

 

2.4.2.8 Identification

 

Each test case will be uniquely identified.

 

2.4.2.9 Environment and Data

 

Lists the pre-conditions, resources, test tools and data requirements for executing test cases.

2.4.2.10 OAT Schedule and Tasks

 

Specifies the scheduling, dependencies and duration of testing activities.

 

2.4.2.11 Exit Criteria

 

The criteria to determine the completion of testing.

 

2.4.3 OAT Test Scripts

 

Orange will write the OAT test scripts. All test scripts will be maintained by Orange in an electronic format.

 

2.4.4 Test Execution

 

Should any faults be found during OAT and a modified build required, then the time between these builds should be kept to a minimum. To support this each run of OAT will have a cut off date on or after the mid point. All faults found before the cut-off date will then be resolved and packaged by the supplier for the next OAT run (build 2). Meanwhile OAT will continue and faults found after the cut-off date will then be included in build 3. This process should continue until all Major Service Affecting and Major Non-service Affecting faults are resolved.

 

SEVEN will provide reasonable levels of technical support as defined in the SOW during the OAT period in the form of a Test Engineer, located at the most appropriate location to maximise support for all test environments. The period of support required of SEVEN will be 0900hrs – 1730hrs Monday to Friday (UK local time).

 

The SEVEN’s Test Engineer(s) will be responsible for providing technical support to the Orange test team in the installation & operation of the application and in analysing the test results. SEVEN’s Test Engineer(s) will also be responsible for analysing any faults found during OAT, communicating these to their development teams and for progressing their satisfactory resolution.

 

OAT will also include a period where the system is carrying network traffic. The load placed upon it will comprise that which is generated during standard Orange operating conditions. Such an exercise will demonstrate that the System is stable under normal and abnormal operating conditions prior to accepting full live network load. The Service will be evaluated for Final Customer Acceptance at the end of OAT.

 

However, OAT will not be considered complete, and software will not be considered for acceptance by Orange, until all tests have been successfully completed and on the provision that no priority 1,2 or 3 faults are outstanding. Orange may at it’s own discretion provisionally accept software that has not been fully tested or has faults outstanding provided that a satisfactory resolution plan is provided by SEVEN.

 

2.4.5 OAT Phase Reviews

 

OAT will be preceded by a Test Readiness Review Meeting and concluded with a test review meeting, during which the content of OAT will be reviewed.

2.5 Second Customer Trial

 

2.5.1 Overview

 

The second customer trial will take place between 18.11.02 and 30.12.02. The purpose of the trial is to take the IVT tested product and ensure that it can be implemented quickly and simply with minimal interaction with the customer over a variety of non-vanilla platforms. The success criteria for the trial are included in a customer trial document. Performance relative to the success criteria will determine a pass/fail for the trial.

This Licence and Services Fees and Payment Schedule is supplementary to the Master Licence Agreement. Orange shall pay the following fees to SEVEN in accordance with the payment schedule set forth below. All payments shall be made by wire transfer to the account designated by SEVEN in writing. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, all fees shall be paid in Great British Pounds (GBP).

 

1. LICENSE FEES:

 

  A. CUSTOMER LICENSE FEES

 

Orange shall pay to SEVEN the fee set forth in the Fee Chart below with respect to each Customer (“Customer License Fee”). The Customer License Fees shall initially be paid in accordance with the payment schedule below and thereafter Orange shall purchase sufficient additional Customer Licenses as necessary to ensure that its number of Customers never exceeds the number of Customer Licenses it has purchased. The Customer License Fees shall be due to SEVEN without respect to whether any corresponding fees have been charged or received by Orange with respect to the applicable Customer. No productive use of the Software may be made (directly or indirectly) by any Customer unless Orange is then current with respect to its license fees with respect to each such Customer. No trial, demonstration or other no-charge use of any the Orange Office Freedom Services may be made except with respect to users for whom a Customer License has been purchased or as otherwise agreed to in advance in writing by SEVEN. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Schedule 5 Customer shall not include (i) employees (or agents) of Orange using the Software solely for testing, demonstration, support and/or evaluation purposes (but in any event not to exceed [***] licences to agents and employees) or (ii) administrative personnel of Customers using the server module of the Software solely to administer the system on behalf of Customers for which Customer Licences have been allocated.

 

2. SERVICES FEES:

 

  A. SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE FEES.

 

Orange shall pay SEVEN a monthly support and maintenance fee for SEVEN’s support of Orange in connection with Active Customers, calculated as set forth below. The monthly fee is for both the Support and Maintenance obligations of SEVEN under Schedule 6, provided, however, that Orange may deploy Maintenance releases with respect to no more than the number of the total number of Active Customers at the time of the Maintenance (which number Orange shall certify to SEVEN in its next monthly report). An “Active Customer” means any Customer with respect to which Orange has designated a Customer License. For the avoidance of doubt, Orange must designate a Customer License with respect to each Customer.

4.5 Fault Reporting Procedure. SEVEN and Orange shall use the following “Fault Reporting Procedure” to enable accurate logging and tracking of all Faults and incidents relating to the Software until otherwise agreed or modified by the parties. SEVEN support staff will provide availability for reporting Faults via telephone and e-mail and logging such Faults on its fault reporting database in accordance with the applicable availability hours set forth in this Schedule. A report on any Fault may be made via telephone or e-mail. However, if the Fault is a Priority Level 1 or Priority Level 2 Fault then it must be reported by telephone and by e-mail. Upon initial notification of a Fault, SEVEN will provide Orange with an electronic incident reporting template to complete and return via email. If any necessary information is missing then Orange will be required to complete this before resolution of the Fault is progressed. Any report of a Fault must include the following information:

 

  contact information for the person reporting the Fault (phone # and ID);

 

  time and date the Fault became apparent;

 

  time and date of the report of the Fault;

 

  description of the Fault;

 

  the nature and extent of the problems caused by the Fault;

 

  list of actions taken by Orange with a view to resolving the Fault and/or problems caused by the Fault;

 

  indicated alarms (if any);

 

  symptoms; and

 

  the designated Priority Level.

 

SEVEN will confirm, log and assign a reference number for the report of each Fault in its fault reporting database. The

Orange trouble ticket number will be exchanged with SEVEN’s fault reference for inclusion in the respective fault logs. Reporting of a Fault logged in SEVEN’s fault reporting database will initiate a response by SEVEN to the fault originator within the times and in the manner appropriate for the severity of the Fault as defined in the Response Times Chart.

 

5. Maintenance. During such time as Orange is under contract for support and maintenance, SEVEN shall provide Orange with generally commercially released Minor and Major Releases of the same Software product (“Maintenance”). “Major Releases” means generally commercially released major new releases, modifications and/or enhancements to the same Software product as designated by a change in the number to the left of the decimal in the version number. Major Releases do not include separate or different products marketed by Licensor under a different name even if such products are compatible with the Software (including, for example, client products or separate server modules which enhance the functionality of the Software). “Minor Releases” means generally commercially released code corrections, patches, updates and minor version releases of the same Software product as designated by a change in the number to the right of the decimal in the version number. To the extent any prior Orange customisations have not been incorporated by SEVEN into the base code of the general release of the Software, at the request of Orange, SEVEN will provide such customisations with respect to subsequent releases at the agreed Professional Services rates.

 

6. Service Credits. Service credits (“Service Credits”) will be payable for any and all Fault instances where the times as stated in the Response Times Chart have not been achieved and such delay was not caused by Orange. These Service Credits will be issued on a quarterly basis as a credit to Orange against the following quarter’s support and maintenance fees. Service Credits may not be used to offset any fees other than support and maintenance fees and in no event shall SEVEN ever be required to pay any money or make any refund to Orange. Service Credits will be payable for each default period in accordance with the table below. Service Credits payable in any quarter shall be subject to a maximum aggregate quarterly service credit of [***] thereafter of the monthly Support Fees paid over the relevant quarter. The Parties recognise and agree that the above Service Credits are reasonable pre-estimates of the damage which will occur to Orange taking into account all relevant information available at the Commencement Date and that such sums are liquidated damages and in no way to be considered as penalties.

ANNEX C: SEVEN HOSTING SERVICES SPECIFICATION

 

1. Introduction

 

This Hosting Services Specification provides a high level overview of SEVEN’s Hosting Services which Orange will leverage for the initial launch of Office Freedom.

 

2. General Service Description

 

SEVEN offers high availability System SEVEN hosting services to our Customers and partners. Features of the service include:

 

  Primary hosting site co-located at an Exodus IDC in Santa Clara, CA

 

  Secondary site for disaster recovery purposes at the SEVEN headquarters in Redwood City, CA

 

  Hosting includes 24x7 network operations center (NOC) support

 

  Provides a fully redundant architecture (hardware, software, network and storage)

 

  Maintains redundant connectivity to the Internet

 

  All SEVEN infrastructure, hardware and software is supported by appropriate service and maintenance contracts

 

  Monitors all system, network, and critical infrastructure elements 24x7

 

  Manages a change control process tailored to each Customer’s unique needs

 

  Operates a trouble-ticket management system to enable effective communication, tracking and historical documentation of all issues

 

SEVEN Hosting Services is equipped to manage and maintain Carrier branded and customized versions of System SEVEN Personal Edition or Enterprise Edition. Specific access methods (i.e. PC, WAP, Smart Devices) and device support are determined by individual Carrier needs. SEVEN Hosting Services has built a scalable operations model allowing our hosting to grow with Customers needs, as well as to assist in migrating the Service to our Customer’s data center at the appropriate time. SEVEN’s Hosting Service have been designed to meet the following criteria:

 

  Service delivery platforms do not have single points of failure

 

  Service delivery infrastructure does not have single points of failure

 

  If a failure occurs, restoration of service can be achieved as specified below in section 3

 

  All software is regularly backed-up to enable recovery to the point of last backup

 

  Disaster Recovery infrastructure is in place prior to any launch

 

  Disaster Recovery procedures are documented and tested prior to operational launch

 

  Disaster Recovery procedures are tested at least every 12 months

 

3. Physical Access Security

 

Access to Hosting Services facilities follow accepted security industry standards.

 

4. Business Continuity Plan

 

SEVEN Hosting Services is backed by a robust and complete Business Continuity Plan (BCP). SEVEN will make available to Orange Operations Service Management upon request from time to time, the most up to date copy of the SEVEN’s BCP. Orange Operations Service Management shall have the right (at Orange’s expense) to review at SEVEN’s premises, SEVEN’s BCP.

 

Assumptions of SEVEN’s BCP for Hosting Services:

 

  The situation that causes the disaster is localized to one of SEVEN’s data processing facilities, the building or space housing the hosting services; or to the communication systems and networks that support the facility.

 

12


  The Plan is based on the availability of the backup site. The accessibility of this site is a critical requirement.

 

4.1 Recovery

 

The recovery of the DR site will be done in 6 hours, from the time the disaster recovery plan is initiated. A good assumption for the service to be functional is at least 24 hours from the time the DNS changes are made to point to the DR site, because of DNS propagation delay. Also, the service in the DR site can be fully tested once the DNS propagation has taken place.

 

4.2 BCP Criteria

 

SEVEN’s Hosting Services are designed to satisfy the following BCP requirements:

 

  Meet the Recovery Time Objective for the end to end Business Continuity process

 

  Maintain appropriate personnel responsible for creating and maintaining disaster recovery procedures

 

  Maintain a Disaster Recovery procedure for the processes/functions/service

 

  Notify Customers of temporary changes of service level if Disaster Recovery is invoked

 

  Specify a Disaster Recovery rehearsal schedule

 

  Specify the time from declaration of a disaster to the point where the process and function is restored

 

  Record location of Disaster Recovery environment

 

  Understand major dependencies for Disaster Recovery

EQUIPMENT LOAN

 

For the purposes of this Schedule only, the following words and expressions shall have the following meanings:

 

“Equipment”

   means the SEVEN Equipment and Orange Equipment excluding the Software

“Orange Equipment”

   means all computer hardware and/or associated software and/or associated equipment provided by Orange to SEVEN or any subcontractor engaged by SEVEN in connection with this Agreement, including (but not limited to) the items listed as of the Commencement Date on Schedule 12.1.

“SEVEN Equipment”

   means all computer hardware and/or associated software and/or associated equipment, provided by SEVEN to Orange in connection with this Agreement.

 

1. Whenever one Party provides Equipment to the other Party in connection with this Agreement, the Parties shall complete and agree the details relating to such Equipment in the form indicted below.

 

2. Neither Party shall lend, hire, sell, charge or otherwise part with possession of any Equipment provided by the other Party to any third party without the express, prior, written consent of the other Party who provided it.

 

3. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to effect any transfer of title or Intellectual Property Rights in the Equipment.

 

4. Where one Party is in possession of the other Party’s Equipment it shall hold it on a fiduciary basis as a bailee for the other Party and store it in such a way that it remains readily identifiable as the property of the other Party.

 

5. In the event of termination or expiry of this Agreement or at the end of the allocated loan term indicated in the attached form (whichever is earlier) each Party shall return the Equipment owned by the other Party (at the owning Party’s expense) and shall comply with the reasonable requirements of the owning Party in this respect.


SCHEDULE 12

 

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

 

This Professional Services Schedule is supplementary to the Master License Agreement. It describes SEVEN’s responsibilities with respect to Professional Services under any Professional Services Statement of Work (as defined below) which is executed by both parties and which references the Agreement.

 

1. Statements of Work. The Parties shall execute a “Statement of Work” (or “SOW”) each time Orange seeks to have SEVEN provide Professional Services under the Agreement. Each SOW shall include a Professional Services Specification which contains the technical details of the specific work to be performed and shall also include, without limitation, a description of the scope of work to be performed, dependencies, milestones (including designation of any key milestones “Key Milestones”), acceptance criteria and process (if applicable), warranties (if applicable), any specific relevant pricing information and any other information reasonably necessary to describe the scope of Professional Services to be performed by SEVEN.

 

With respect to any warranties, the parties agree as follows: (i) the warranty standard shall be material compliance with the applicable Professional Services Specification, (ii) the remedies for breach of warranty shall be repair, replace or, if SEVEN is unable to do so within a reasonable period of time, refund of all Professional Services Fees paid with respect to such specific Deliverable upon termination of the applicable SOW; and (iii) the warranties shall be subject to such other reasonable conditions as the parties may agree at the time.

 

The Statement of Work in effect as of the Commencement Date is attached at Annex 1. Seven is aware of Orange’s proposed commercial launch date of January-February 2003 and will use all reasonable commercial efforts and apply all necessary resources to resolve all reported faults to enable Orange to launch a functional, stable and supported system on that date.

 

2. Delivery.

 

2.1 SEVEN agrees to provide the Professional Services in accordance with the timetable set out in the applicable SOW. For the avoidance of doubt, except pursuant to any escrow release under Clause 5 of this Agreement, in no event shall SEVEN be required to deliver any source code to Orange under this Agreement.

 

2.2 If specified in the applicable SOW, the times for the delivery or performance of the Professional Services shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

 

3. Acceptance. The terms of acceptance shall be as defined in the particular SOW.

 

4. Fees.

 

4.1 The rates for Professional Services shall be as set forth in Schedule 5 of the Agreement (unless otherwise specified in the applicable SOW). The parties acknowledge that from time to time Orange may request changes to the Software which will be of generic use to SEVEN across its general customer base, and in such events SEVEN agrees to reasonably consider granting to Orange a reasonable discount with respect to any such generic changes.

 

4.2 The Professional Services Fees shall be properly due for the purposes of Clause 3.5 of the Agreement provided the Professional Services Deliverables are in material compliance with the relevant SOW (including the Professional Services Specification) and the Orange Corporate Joint Branding Guidelines.


4.3 Upon any termination of an applicable SOW or the Agreement, SEVEN shall be entitled to receive full payment for any Professional Services which it has fully completed at the date of termination in accordance with its obligations hereunder and to receive a proportionate part of the Professional Services Fees for any Professional Services which are partially complete at the date of termination or notice of termination, if earlier (provided Orange has given SEVEN notice to stop work). In assessing the proportionate sum due, the Parties shall take account of the number of man- hours expended upon such Professional Services at the date of termination or notice of termination, if earlier (provided Orange has given SEVEN notice to stop work). SEVEN shall submit a statement of any proportionate Professional Services Fees, supported by evidence as appropriate and including a breakdown of the man hours and the cost of labour, materials or other items at the date of termination. Such statement shall be calculated in accordance with SEVEN’s regular accounting procedures and shall, if required by Orange, be verified by independent auditors at the cost of Orange unless the quote put forward by SEVEN is more than [***] above the quote suggested by the auditor.

 

In the event of termination for convenience by SEVEN in accordance with Clause 22.4, Orange shall have the option of requiring SEVEN to complete any work orders which are outstanding at the time Orange receives notice of SEVEN’s intention to terminate.

 

5. Key Milestones

 

5.1 As applicable, to the extent that any Professional Services are not delivered in accordance with the terms of the applicable SOW on or before 9.00am (GMT) on any relevant Key Milestone, the Professional Services Fees payable in relation to those Professional Services shall be reduced by [***] (unless specified otherwise in the applicable SOW) in the case of Professional Services Fees. For the purposes of this Clause 5.1 all percentages are based on the total Professional Services Fees due under an applicable SOW. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause shall also apply to any Adjusted Key Milestones set pursuant to Clause 5.3 below.

 

5.2 For the avoidance of doubt, Orange shall not be entitled to any fee reduction in relation to SEVEN’s failure to meet any Key Milestone or Adjusted Key Milestone where such failure is caused by any act or omission of Orange which was not itself caused by any act or omission of SEVEN, such as a failure by SEVEN to give Orange reasonable notice of the dependencies and the deadline for delivery by Orange.

 

5.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a failure by SEVEN to meet a Key Milestone is caused by any act or omission of Orange, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to reset the relevant Key Milestone appropriately using the Change Control Procedure to a later date (“Adjusted Key Milestone”) so that the Adjusted Key Milestone shall be no later than necessary to allow an adjustment corresponding to the delay caused by Orange.

 

5.4 The Parties recognise and agree that the above sums are reasonable pre-estimates of the damage which will occur to Orange taking into account all relevant information available at the commencement date of the applicable SOW and that such sums are liquidated damages and in no way to be considered as penalties.

 

* This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and such request has been filed separately with the Commission.


5.5 The Parties agree that Orange shall not be able to terminate the applicable SOW in whole or in part as a consequence of such late delivery, completion or achievement of any Key Milestone unless the [***] (unless otherwise specified in the applicable SOW) has been reached.

 

5.6 The rights and remedies granted under this Clause 5 shall be without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to Orange under this Agreement or at law.

 

* This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and such request has been filed separately with the Commission.
