2.1.  Global Message Handling and Service Level Agreement (SLA). When Licensee reports malfunctions, SAP supports Licensee by providing information on how to remedy, avoid and bypass errors. The main channel for such support will be the support infrastructure provided by SAP. Licensee may send an error message at any time. When Licensee creates an error message, the system automatically collects the most important system data (transaction code, program ID, Support Package level, message number, etc). All persons involved in the message solving process can access the status of the message at any time.

In exceptional cases, Licensee may also contact SAP by telephone. For such contact (and as otherwise provided) SAP requires that License provide remote access as specified in Section 3.2(iii). SAP Enterprise Support is provided exclusively to Licensee’s Customer Center of Expertise.

The following Service Level Agreements (“SLA” or “SLAs”) shall apply to all Licensee support messages that SAP accepts as being Priority 1 or 2 and which fulfill the prerequisites specified herein. Such SLAs shall commence in the first full Calendar Quarter following the Effective Date of this Schedule and the completion of Licensee’s implementation of the mandatory recommendations resulting from the Initial Assessment specified in Section 2.2 below. As used herein, “Calendar Quarter” is the three month period ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 respectively of any given calendar year.

2.1.1 SLA for Initial Response Times:

a. Priority 1 Support Messages (“Very High”). SAP shall respond to Priority 1 support messages within one (1) hour of SAP’s receipt (twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week) of such Priority 1 support messages. A message is assigned Priority 1 if the problem has very serious consequences for normal business transactions and urgent, business critical work cannot be performed. This is generally caused by the following circumstances: complete system outage, malfunctions of central SAP functions in the Production System, or Top-Issues.

b. Priority 2 Support Messages (“High”). SAP shall respond to Priority 2 support messages within four (4) hours of SAP’s receipt (during SAP’s normal business hours in the region Licensee is located) of such Priority 2 support messages. A message is assigned Priority 2 if normal business transactions are seriously affected and necessary tasks cannot be performed. This is caused by incorrect or inoperable functions in the SAP system that are required to perform such transactions and/or tasks.

2.1.2 SLA for Corrective Action Response Time for Priority 1 Support Messages: SAP shall provide a solution, work around or action plan for resolution (“Corrective Action”) of Licensee’s Priority 1 support message within four (4) hours of SAP’s receipt (twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week) of such Priority 1 support message (“SLA for Corrective Action”). In the event an action plan is submitted to Licensee as a Corrective Action, such action plan shall include: (i) status of the resolution process; (ii) planned next steps, including identifying responsible SAP resources; (iii) required Licensee actions to support the resolution process; (iv) to the extent possible, due dates for SAP’s actions; and (v) date and time for next status update from SAP. Subsequent status updates shall include a summary of the actions undertaken so far; planned next steps; and date and time for next status update. The SLA for Corrective Action only refers to that part of the processing time when the message is being processed at SAP (“Processing Time”). Processing Time does not include the time when the message is on status “Partner Action”, “Customer Action” or “SAP Proposed Solution”, whereas (a) the status Partner Action means the support message was handed over to a technology or software partner of SAP or a third party vendor of SAP for further processing; (b) the status Customer Action means the support message was handed over to Licensee; and (c) the status SAP Proposed Solution means SAP has provided a Corrective Action as outlined herein. The SLA for Corrective Action shall be deemed met if within four (4) hours of processing time: SAP proposes a solution (status “SAP Proposed Solution”), a workaround or an action plan; or if Licensee agrees to reduce the priority level of the message.

2.1.3 Prerequisites and Exclusions.

2.1.3.1 Prerequisites. The SLAs shall only apply when the following prerequisites are met for all support messages: (i) support messages are related to releases of Enterprise Support Solutions which are classified by SAP with the shipment status “unrestricted shipment”; (ii) support messages are submitted by Licensee in English via the SAP Solution Manager Software in accordance with SAP’s then current support message processing log-in procedure which contain the relevant details necessary (as specified in SAP Note 16018 or any future SAP Note which replaces SAP Note 16018) for SAP to take action on the reported error; (iii) support messages are related to a product release of Enterprise Support Solutions which falls into Mainstream Maintenance or Extended Maintenance. For Priority 1 support messages, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled by Licensee: (a) the issue and its business impact are described in detail sufficient to allow SAP to assess the issue; (b) Licensee makes available for communications with SAP, twenty four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, an English speaking contact person with training and knowledge sufficient to aid in the resolution of the Priority 1 message consistent with Licensee’s obligations hereunder; and (c) a Licensee contact person is provided for opening a remote connection to the system and to provide necessary log-on data to SAP.

2.1.3.2 Exclusions. For SAP Enterprise Support the following types of Priority 1 messages are excluded from the SLAs: (i) support messages regarding a release, version and/or functionalities of Enterprise Support Solutions developed specifically for Licensee (including without limitation those developed by SAP Custom Development and/or by SAP subsidiaries); (ii) support messages regarding country versions that are not part of the Enterprise Support Solutions and instead are realized as partner add-ons, enhancements, or modifications is expressly excluded even if these country versions were created by SAP or an associated organization; and (iii) the root cause behind the support message is not a malfunction, but a missing functionality (“development request”) or the support message is ascribed to a consulting request.

2.1.4 Service Level Credit.

2.1.4.1 SAP shall be deemed to have met its obligations pursuant to the SLAs as stated above by reacting within the allowed time frames in ninety-five percent (95%) of the aggregate cases for all SLAs within a Calendar Quarter. In the event Licensee submits less than twenty (20) messages (in the aggregate for all SLAs) pursuant to the SLAs stated above in any Calendar Quarter during the Enterprise Support term, Licensee agrees that SAP shall be deemed to have met the its obligations pursuant to the SLAs stated above if SAP has not exceeded the stated SLA time-frame in more than one support message during the applicable Calendar Quarter.

2.1.4.2. Subject to Section 2.1.4.1 above, in the event that the timeframes for the SLA’s are not met (each a “Failure”), the following rules and procedures shall apply: (i) Licensee shall inform SAP in writing of any alleged Failure; (ii) SAP shall investigate any such claims and provide a written report proving or disproving the accuracy of Licensee’s claim; (iii) Licensee shall provide reasonable assistance to SAP in its efforts to correct any problems or processes inhibiting SAP’s ability to reach the SLAs; (iv) subject to this Section 2.1.4, if based on the report, an SAP Failure is proved, SAP shall apply a Service Level Credit (“SLC”) to Licensee’s next SAP Enterprise Support Fee invoice equal to one quarter percent (0.25%) of Licensee’s SAP Enterprise Support Fee for the applicable Calendar Quarter for each Failure reported and proved, subject to a maximum SLC cap per Calendar Quarter of five percent (5%) of Licensee’s SAP Enterprise Support Fee for such Calendar Quarter. Licensee bears the responsibility of notifying SAP of any SLCs within thirty (30) days after the end of a Calendar Quarter in which a Failure occurs. No penalties will be paid unless notice of Licensee’s claim for SLC(s) is received by SAP in writing. The SLC stated in this Section 2.1.4 is Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any alleged or actual Failure.

2.2  SAP Support Advisory Center. For Priority 1 and Top-Issues directly related to the Enterprise Support Solutions, SAP shall make available a global unit within SAP’s support organization for mission critical support related requests (the “Support Advisory Center”). The Support Advisory Center will perform the following mission critical support tasks: (i) remote support for Top-Issues – the Support Advisory Center will act as an additional escalation level, enabling 24X7 root cause analysis for problem identification; (ii) Continuous Quality Check service delivery planning in collaboration with Licensee’s IT, including scheduling and delivery coordination; (iii) remote certification of the SAP Customer Center of Expertise if requested by Licensee; and (iv) providing guidance in cases in which Continuous Quality Checks (as defined in Section 2.3 below), an action plan and/or written recommendations of SAP show a critical status (e.g. a red CQC report) of the Enterprise Support Solution.

As preparation for the Service Level Agreement and Continuous Quality Check delivery through SAP Solution Manager Enterprise Edition, Licensee’s Contact Person and SAP shall jointly perform one mandatory setup service (“Initial Assessment”) for the Enterprise Support Solutions. The Initial Assessment shall be based upon SAP standards and documentation.

The designated SAP Support Advisory Center will be English speaking and available to Licensee’s Contact Person (as defined below) or its authorized representative twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for mission critical support related requests. The available local or global dial-in numbers are shown in SAP Note 560499.
