software discrepancies shall be given a priority classification defined as follows:
Showstopper - defined as a discrepancy that results in the inability to complete any
one or more of the Mission Critical Processes.
Hot - defined as a discrepancy that does not prevent a Mission Critical Process. If not
corrected, it may become a Showstopper, or if not corrected, the discrepancy creates

will not impact a Mission Critical Process. The discrepancy may impact the County's
ability to most efficiently conduct business.

business.
Low - defined as a minor discrepancy that does not impact a Mission Critical Process
or the County's ability to conduct business, such as misspellings, formatting adjustments,
tab orders, etc.
6.3 Service Levels. The Contractor agrees to respond to any notice from the County

Contractor shall respond to the County by noon the next business day.
· The Contractor shall correct any Showstopper incidents in the Application
Software within thirty six (36) consecutive clock hours after notification of the
error,
· Any Hot incidents within seven (7) business days after notification of the
incident, any High incident within twenty five (25) business days after
notification of the incident,
· Any Medium incident within forty five (45) business days after notification of the
incident and
· Any Low incident within ninety (90) business days after notification of the
incident.
6.3.1 If a Hot incident causes the County personnel to perform more than six (6) hours
of additional work over a two (2) day or less period of time, or if a Hot incident has not
been resolved within seven (7) business days after the Contractor received notification
of the incident, the County personnel shall notify the Contractor and priority
classification of the Hot incident shall immediately be escalated to a priority
classification of Showstopper.
6.3.2 If a Showstopper incident remains unresolved for more than thirty six (36)
consecutive clock hours from the time the Contractor receives notice of the
Showstopper incident, or if a Hot incident remains unresolved for more than seven (7)
business days from the time the Contractor receives notice of the Hot incident, and the
incident cannot be resolved by remote access, at the County's sole option, the
Contractor may be required to immediately dispatch a Contractor support person that
is experienced in supporting the Application Software to the County's location to
correct the Showstopper or Hot incident.
6.3.3 The Contractor's support person shall remain on-site at the County location until
the Showstopper or Hot incident is corrected. If a Contractor support person is
dispatched to the County to correct a Showstopper or Hot incident it shall be at the
Contractor's sole expense.
6.3.4 If a Showstopper incident remains unresolved for more than thirty six (36) hours
from the time the Contractor receives notice of the Showstopper incident, the County

liquidated damages, the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per day for every
calendar day, or portion of a calendar day, that the Showstopper incident is not
corrected on the County's system.
Page 18 of 47
6.3.5 If no future Software Maintenance Fee payments become due because of the
termination of some or all of the services provided under this Exhibit by either party, or
the County's decision to terminate Software Maintenance Service as defined in
Section 9.9, the Contractor shall pay the full amount of such liquidated damages to the
County immediately at the time of such termination. Each remedy specified in this
subsection shall be the County's sole and exclusive remedy for the Contractor's failure
to meet the applicable service level requirement.
6.3.6 If a Showstopper or Hot incident is caused by a hardware error or the negligence
of the County, the Contractor shall not be required to correct the Showstopper or Hot
incident within the timeframes defined in this section 6.3.
