Meter Deployment Installation Vendor Obligations:

Workforce Recruitment, Selection and Training

Vendor will attempt to recruit from the Dade, Broward and Palm Beach county areas. All potential employees will undergo background; drivers license/driving record and drug/alcohol checks. FPL will be consulted regarding prospective candidates who have previously worked for FPL, or for contractors who performed work on FPL’s behalf, prior to the candidate being hired.

Trainees will receive at least one week of training including classroom and field components, for which passing grades must be achieved on both an in-class test and field evaluation form. As part of the training, FPL will develop and deliver specific current diversion training to Vendor’s trainees.

Candidates successfully passing the classroom and field training components will be paired with an experienced installer in the field for observation and questions prior to being issued their own meter allotment. The duration of this training will be two to four days, depending on the Vendor’s assessment of the individual installer’s training needs. Periodic refresher training will be provided based on the results of QA inspections and completion data analysis.

Installer’s Manual

Vendor will submit a complete installer’s training manual for review by FPL prior to the implementation of meter installations. This manual will contain instruction in:

 

   

Safety; including driver safety

 

   

Quality

 

   

Installation Processes

 

   

Data Collection

 

   

Handheld Operations

 

   

Inventory Management

FPL Confidential


   

Attempt to contact each customer at the time of installation. If unable to directly advise the customer, a door hanger will be left at the premise advising the customer of the installation.

 

   

Ensure service is not interrupted without customer notice on accounts with medically essential equipment (identified on deployment file). If the customer cannot be directly advised, alternate arrangements (e.g., appointment) will be made with the customer.

 

   

Assess overhead / underground feed to the meter for damage and suitability of installation.

 

   

Assess the meter enclosure and lid for damage and suitability of installation.

 

   

Remove the existing meter seal, seal ring and meter enclosure lid

 

   

Visually examine the meter enclosure and meter jaws for damage and suitability of installation.

 

   

Refer any damaged meter enclosures or facilities that preclude safe and complete installation to their Field Supervisor for documentation and to initiate repairs.

 

   

Re-examine the meter enclosure and meter jaws for damage and suitability of installation,

 

   

Identify and report current diversion condition found. The installer will notify their Field Supervisor of such conditions for digital imaging of the condition and labeling of the meter.

 

   

Remove the existing meter and capture removal reading. All readings that fail high/low validations will require that the meter be re-read and the reading be re-entered in the handheld.

 

   

Capture new meter and module data from device bar codes. Meters whose meter-module serial. number combinations fail validation against the meter-module relationship table provided by FPL will not be installed. These meters will be tagged separately and returned to FPL for investigation / correction.

 

   

Install new meter and capture set reading.

 

   

New meters will be set as the existing meter was found (e.g., on, off) and their installed disposition communicated via the installation file.

 

   

Verification will be performed to insure the meter and communication module are working as intended.

 

   

New meters set “off” will have the load-side meter blades booted and the meter set so the line-side blades are energized.

 

   

New meters set “off” in high theft areas identified by FPL will be locked with appropriate locking device

 

   

Specific installation processes for non-standard meter sets or non standard meter can configurations will be jointly developed.

 

   

Replace meter enclosure lid and seal ring

 

   

Re-seal the meter enclosure lid and seal ring with a new seal and or locking device where appropriate.

 

   

Clean up work site.

Skipped Meter Installation / UTC Criteria

All skips will receive up to three calls from Vendor requesting an appointment. If contact with the customer cannot be achieved by telephone, Vendor will send an installer to perform a second in-person attempt to complete the installation. If after two in-person attempts and three telephone attempts the customer has not been completed, the premise record will be returned to FPL as unable to complete (UTC).

Quality Assurance Program

“On the job” auditing is to occur at an agreed upon rate per installations to insure installers are adhering to defined processes and procedures throughout the deployment. On the job auditing can be combined with safety assurance programs/audits to test adherence to installation procedures. A program is to be defined and agreed upon between the vendor and FPL to determine levels of audit adherence and actions to be taken for failure to pass audit qualification. Reports are to be summarized on a weekly basis and provided to FPL for review.

 

13 of 49

FPL Confidential


Post installation audit should also be incorporated to review installation after the installer has left the premises. Criteria will be reviewed for adherence to procedures, how the job site was left, customer interaction (if applicable), etc. Reports are to be summarized on a weekly basis and provided to FPL for review.

Project Work Hours

Meter installation vendor will use flexible workweeks and days to facilitate customer satisfaction with meter installations and appointments. Installations could occur Monday through Saturday, from 8:00am to 8:00pm, depending on the time of season and length of daylight hours.

Call Handling

Stage Acceptance Criteria

Acceptance Criteria for deployment will consist of ***.

Deployment - Stage Acceptance

 

   

Pre-deployment Testing - Prior to deployment of metering in the field the following will be evaluated (test plans assume a lab test site is used with an operational gateway in place):

 

   

Data Validation

 

   

Daily read data - The data collected over the network will be compared to FPL data collected from visual inspection. Acceptance will be to insure the data is within and acceptable variance.

 

   

Interval Read Data - Interval read data will be aggregated and compared to read data collected. Aggregated interval data must equal the difference in read data for the period evaluated.

 

   

Tamper flags - Tamper conditions will be created within the lab and flags delivered through the network will be compared to the conditions created.

 

   

Functional Validation

 

   

Read Rate Validation - Read rates will be evaluated based on infrastructure to understand expected read rate vs. delivered.

 

   

Outage notification - Single outage conditions will be created within the lab and the network will be monitored to evaluate capabilities of the system.

 

   

Gateway Failure and Restore - The gateway will be taken off line for a period of time and then restarted. Time to restart will be evaluated and then time to collect data measured and evaluated. Data will be evaluated to insure no gaps were encountered during the gateway outage period from the endpoints in the lab.

 

   

*** endpoints - At completion of the *** endpoint deployment and associated network optimization the following will be evaluated (test plans assume multiple gateways deployed):

 

   

Data Validation

 

   

Daily read data - The data collected over the network will be compared to FPL data collected via field personnel. Acceptance will be to insure the data is within and acceptable variance.

 

   

Interval Read Data - Interval read data will be aggregated and compared to read data collected. Aggregated interval data must equal the difference in read data for the period evaluated.

Upon notification by SSN to FPL that the identified failures have been cured (“Cure Notification”) and redelivery of the deliverable to FPL, FPL shall validate to provide an additional Objection, which SSN shall then cure as described above. The deliverable shall be deemed accepted by FPL on the earlier of: (a) the date FPL notifies SSN of its acceptance; (b) the *** following SSN’s delivery of the deliverable, provided FPL has not notified SSN of an Objection during such ***; or (c) the date *** following receipt by FPL of a Cure Notification with respect to the deliverable, provided FPL has not notified SSN of another Objection during such ***. FPL agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold its acceptance of any deliverable.

1) The FPL will initiate Acceptance Testing as defined within a Statement of Work within *** of initial delivery of hardware or software.

2) SSN’s personnel will be allowed to observe Acceptance Testing.

3) Software and Hardware shall be installed in accordance with SSN instructions.

4) All Hardware shall be found operational prior to beginning Software testing.

5) FPL shall record all testing results to document Objections and passing criteria.

6) In the event that the FPL believes that any part of the Acceptance Test was not successfully met, the FPL shall inform SSN and repeat the testing on the items in question.

8) If after repeating the test, if FPL still believes that the testing was not successful, SSN will have the right to repeat the test under the observation of the FPL.

If SSN is unable to rectify any failures identified in Company’s Objection *** of receipt of Objection, SSN will be deemed to have not delivered the deliverable. FPL may then terminate the specific Statement of Work, or part thereof, in accordance with section 10 Term, Termination and Suspension.

3.1 Project Overview Description. This document defines the scope of work to be performed by SSN or its Subcontractor for FPL. This Project includes Network deployment and installation and optimization of the SSN AMI Network devices within FPL’s service territory (collectively, the “Services”). FPL will be responsible for selecting the field deployment Subcontractor, with whom SSN will contract on behalf of FPL. SSN will manage the Subcontractor and provide training on the proper procedures for the Network Installation Services, FPL Construction standards (attached as Appendix C in Attachment 11) and any subsequently released versions of the FPL Construction standards which FPL will promptly notify SSN in writing when released, and conduct the post installation Network optimization. Subcontractor shall perform the Network Installation Services. Network deployment includes:

Phase III - Network Installation. SSN or FPL will issue installation work orders to Subcontractor based on the detailed Area network design to support the deployment Area schedule provided by FPL. Network installation Service performed by SSN shall consist of:

 

   

Installation of Network Devices in compliance with the SSN Network design specifications (when completed), FPL-’s Construction Standards (attached Appendix B) (and any subsequently released) standards, and the Project schedule. Any changes to the standards or Project schedule shall be documented by the Parties pursuant to Section 7.0 of this SOW. Subcontractor shall perform the Network Installation Services.

 

   

Training-SSN will provide training to the Subcontractor on the proper procedures related to SSN Network installation, FPL Construction standards (and any subsequently released versions of the FPL Construction standards).

 

   

SSN will use an FPL approved WOMS to assign the work order to each field team ***.

Phase IV - Performance Validation / Network Optimization by Deployment Area.

This phase is conducted in an iterative fashion - the analysis conducted by SSN’s Network Operations Center team will lead to the Network validation and tuning to optimize the performance of the NAN. This validation and optimization of the NAN consists of the following:

Network changes — if needed, recommend changes to improve network redundancy and recoverability

In the event that the validation and optimization does not meet the acceptance criteria, additional Network Devices may need to be sited and mounted by the Subcontractor. SSN will have *** days from an Area saturation to locate, survey and direct installation of additional Network Devices and/or relocation of current Network Devices in order to meet the acceptance criteria as outlined. Efforts will be made to maintain network parameters to achieve a *** ratio of Access Point to Relay to meter. These parameters are used as a guide to achieve efficiencies in the network and to avoid overbuilding the network.

FPL understands that to achieve the acceptance criteria outlined above, additional Network Devices may be required and FPL will purchase such additional devices at the price identified in Attachment F Pricing (revision 1) in the Agreement. Costs associated with installing new devices at new locations to achieve acceptance or optimize the network will be billed as outlined herein.

Manufacturer’s Test Data Transfer File Specification

For

Meter Technology Center’s Meter Database

April 23, 2002


Overview

By following the specifications meter manufacturer test data can be imported directly into FPL’s meter database via a common format.

The meter test data is contained in one file with the following characteristics:

 

   

MS-DOS disk format when data is transferred by floppy disk.

 

   

ASCII code set.

 

   

Carriage return / line feed delimited records.

The data file may contain the following types of records:

 

   

A Header Record (general information).

 

   

A Common Meter Data Record (used to group commonly configured meters).

 

   

A Statistical Record (for each group of meters).

 

   

Individual Meter Data Records (one or more per file containing ‘As Found’ test data).

 

   

Individual Meter Data Records (one or more per file containing ‘As Left’ test data).

 

   

AMR Module Data Records (one or more per file).

 

   

A File Trailer Record (last record in file).

The Header record defines the data type and date the file was created. It may contain site specific information as well. There is a column designated as TESTTYPE_CODE. The TEST_TYPE_CODE is set to ‘MFG_TST’ for files containing new meter tests or ‘VENDOR_TST’ for a file containing third party test results.

The Common Meter Data Record Area is used to group common meters together. It contains meter specific information that is common to that group.

The Statistical Record provides statistical results for each group. This record must immediately follow a Common Meter Data Record when statistical data is provided. The record is mandatory however, if statistical data is not available all fields except the RECORD_TYPE field can be left blank.

There are two types of Individual Meter Data Records, an ‘AFR’ or ‘As Found Data’ record and ‘IDR’ or ‘As Left Data’ record. Each is used as necessary based on the test type. There can only be one of each record type for each meter. AFR records are ‘NOT’ created on ‘MFG_TST’ file types. If an AFR and IDR record both exist for a given meter, the IDR record must immediately follow the AFR record. Please note that accuracies that are not applicable to the type of device are left blank (filled with ASCII space characters), and accuracies that are zero filled are maintained in the database as zero registration for the test. The User Defined Area is used to allow site-specific information that is unique to each device to be included in the file. Individual AMR module data records may differ by manufacturer. Manufacturer specification information is included in Appendix A.

The File Trailer Record will contain the text “TRAILER” and the total count of records in the file, inclusive of all record types. The record count is right justified, leading zero filled.

FPL Metering Device Test Procedures & Test Plans

 

I. Laboratory Standards

 

  A.

General - Florida Power & Light (FPL) has available one or more watthour meters and/or watthour meter standardization systems used as basic reference standards, of capacity and voltage range adequate to test all portable standards used by FPL.

 

  B.

Accuracy - Watthour meters or watthour meter standardization systems used as basic reference standards will not be in error by more than ± *** at 1.00 power factor or by more than ± *** at 0.5 lagging power factor, after the application of standard correction factors.

 

  C.

Traceability to National Standards - Traceability of FPL’s basic reference standards to the national watthour standards is established annually using one of the following methods:

 

  1.

NIST MAP - FPL establishes traceability to the national watthour standards through the Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). With this method, the transport standard is provided by NIST.

 

  2.

Independent Laboratory - FPL establishes traceability to the national watthour standards through an independent laboratory. With this method, the transport standard is provided by the independent laboratory, and is of the same nominal value and of quality equal to the basic reference standards used by FPL. FPL intends to utilize Radian Research, Inc. of Lafayette, Indiana as its independent laboratory. Radian Research meets all the Independent Standards Laboratory requirements of ANSI C12.1, and provides a level of accuracy comparable to NIST. Other laboratories meeting the requirements of ANSI C12.1 may be utilized in the future.

 

  D.

Intercomparison Of Standards - The percent registration of each FPL basic reference standard watthour meter or watthour meter standardization system is compared against the percent registration of every other FPL basic reference standard watthour meter watthour meter or watthour meter standardization system at frequent intervals.

 

  E.

Excessive Variation - If excessive variation in the percent registration of a basic reference standard watthour meter or watthour meter standardization system is observed in the comparisons of C. or D. above, the source of the variation will be investigated. If the source of the variation cannot be corrected, then the use of this watthour meter or watthour meter standardization system as a basic reference standard will be discontinued.

 

  Page 5 of 32   April 3, 1997


FPL Metering Device Test Procedures & Test Plans

 

  F.

Records - Historical performance records for each watthour meter or watthour meter standardization system used as a basic reference standard are maintained by FPL as follows:

FPL Metering Device Test Procedures & Test Plans

 

II. Portable Standards

 

  A.

General - FPL utilizes one or more watthour meters to be used as portable standards, of capacity and voltage range adequate to test all watthour meters used by FPL for billing purposes.

 

  B.

Accuracy - Watthour meters used as portable standards will not be in error by more than ± *** at 1.00 power factor or by more than ± *** at 0.5 lagging power factor, after the application of standard correction factors.

 

  C.

Comparison with Reference Standards - Each FPL watthour meter used as a portable standard is compared with a basic reference standard at least once a year.

 

  D.

Excessive Variation - If excessive variation in the percent registration of a watthour meter used as a portable standard is observed in the comparisons of C. above, the source of the variation will be investigated. If the source of the variation cannot be corrected, then the use of this watthour meter as a portable standard will be discontinued.

SOW Description

The Project includes deployment of SSN’s AMI network solution within the FPL territory as defined by the requirements in this document to deliver AMI benefits. The solution is to be deployed within the FPL service territory to meet AMI requirements and to serve as a foundation to support the smart grid. The Project is a multi-year project expecting to span 2009-2013 to deploy approximately 4.4 million meters under the SSN network.

2.1 SOW Objectives and Scope

The objective of this SOW is to outline procedures, roles, responsibilities, and expectations for SSN to serve as the provider of Access Points (“AP”), Relays and Field Service Units (as originally described in Attachment B to the Agreement), associated software and firmware related to the operations of the devices, and provide associated services and support for the delivery of the devices.

The scope of this SOW will address infrastructure needs of FPL and obligations of SSN as they pertain to the deployment of the infrastructure to support the AMI deployment. Primarily this will involve the delivery of devices in a state ready to be deployed to meet the FPL schedule. In addition, this document will outline procedures to be implemented to support the processes. These will include procedures for providing forward-looking estimates, ordering of required materials, testing of manufactured devices and appropriate reporting, provisioning devices with appropriate applications, invoicing, and post-deployment defective-device tracking, analysis and reporting.

Ordering Procedures

This SOW will be established with all of the items to be purchased via FPL M&S numbers and corresponding SSN catalog numbers as per detailed instructions on each purchase order document for which FPL will have inventory control over once received. FPL’s Materials Management Department will submit purchase orders to SSN against this SOW to reflect quantity of items required, item description, pricing, delivery date and location for delivery.

Ordering will occur at least quarterly to procure the devices needed for the Project at least *** in advance of required receipt. Orders will typically cover a *** period (***) but deliveries are expected at least *** if not more frequently. Should SSN be unable to satisfy FPL’s orders for devices in any ***, the *** procedures within the Agreement shall prevail.

Orders will be initiated by FPL by issuing a purchase order, attaching to an email, and sent via email to SSN or delivered by other electronic means as agreed to by both parties. An electronic signature is to be accepted by SSN from a group of FPL personnel to be identified.

4.5 Section E — Data Requirements and Device Provisioning into UIQ

Section Scope

This Section includes data requirements for devices provided by SSN. This will include data types and formats to be provided.

Requirements

FPL requires the data from APs, relays and batteries to allow the loading of the information to UIQ as devices are received by FPL. The data provided must be correct and complete. Loading of the device files to UIQ is required to occur when the shipment is received at FPL. Files are to be loaded prior to the deployment of any devices. The loading of the device files is to be completed by SSN after the shipment has been received and confirmed by FPL.

Battery information is applied to AP or Relays at the time of install in the field. Although this information is not loaded at shipment time, the information regarding batteries is to be provided to the SSN Network Operations team at shipment time.

Location information as to where the device is installed, including battery information, will be loaded separately and is out of scope of this SOW. This task will be completed by the SSN Network Operations team with data provided from the installer combined with the battery information. This is a required step in the acceptance process described in section F.

For future processing, FPL requires AP and relay information required to load UIQ in the appropriate file format and type such that the file can be imported to the application (UIQ) as is through the Device Admire function. The files should contain the specific devices that are in the shipment. See Table E-1 for a list of elements required. Note that the capability to automate this data input is still in development and will be made available to FPL once it is released for General Availability (“GA”).

4.6 Section F — Post Deployment Acceptance and Defective and Failure Rate Tracking

This section outlines the expectations to accept a fully functional unit and to implement an effective post deployment tracking and reporting mechanism for any failures of equipment that occur during and after the deployment. Processes will include warranty work and non-warranty work. These processes will be in place as long as the system is utilized at FPL, consistent with existing Agreement.

Acceptance

Acceptance is achieved when an installed device is activated on the network (has appropriate meters registering), confirms connectivity to the back office through the backhaul (APs only), and has an operational state of active within UIQ. At this point acceptance has been achieved and administration of the devices will transition to the RF administration operational function.

Defective Devices and Failure Tracking

SSN will track failure rates for APs and relays. A failure is defined as a device that after installation

 

Silver Spring Networks / FPL SOW – Confidential 08/08/2009 – Final

   Page | 13    


LOGO

 

cannot be remotely remedied and requires a field visit either to access the device from an FSU or other device or to exchange the device. Activation and proper functioning will be noted via UIQ and NEM. Throughout the deployment period, FPL will require *** reporting of:

 

   

Number of devices delivered

 

   

Number of devices loaded to UIQ

 

   

Number of devices installed in the field

 

   

Number of devices activated in UIQ

 

   

Number of devices requiring a field visit

 

   

Number of devices required to be changed after initial deployment (prior to being activated)

All failures are to be tracked and investigated for cause. Devices removed from the field are to be investigated by SSN to determine the cause of the failure within *** of receipt of the failed device at SSN facilities. Final analysis on failures is to be provided FPL ***.

Failures attributed to installation or other factors beyond the scope of device delivery will be noted and not count against acceptance for this SOW.

High level tasks include:

 

   

Definition of the process for FPL to report defective devices

 

   

Definition of the process for FPL to return devices to SSN for evaluation

 

   

Definition of the response and reporting required from SSN

 

   

Definition of the warranty vs. non-warranty replacements

 

   

Definition of periodic meetings to review defective finds

Assumptions on work to be completed:

 

   

FPL will perform an initial inspection to identify failures from environmental causes

 

   

Information will be captured to differentiate the failure rate at the time of install versus failures that occur after installation. A device failure within 90 days of install will be considered a deployment failure.

 

   

For devices returned to SSN, SSN will be responsible for performing the analysis and classifying the cause of the defect within 45 days from receipt of the failed device at SSN’s facilities.

The application provides image management, project management and alerts related to the firmware upgrade process.

2.2.4 Meter Program Configurator (“MPC”)

UtilityIQ® Meter Program Configurator is an add-on application to the AMM application that manages the configuration of register and interval recording on either the NIC or meter, depending on the device. UIQ MPC provides a project based approach that is integrated with AMM to take advantage of existing features such as device groups and search while independently managing the configuration process.

2.3 Ancillary Software Tools

2.3.1 NodeSim

NodeSim is an application for simulating endpoints on the network for use in the development and test environments. The application receives typical meter requests from UIQ AMM such as interval read and replies with data responses in the same structure as provided by a non-simulated NIC. NodeSim supports the simulation of both GMI and C12.19 meter data, as well as the testing of the firmware upgrade process. NodeSim is capable of simulating in excess of 5,000,000 devices to support testing of very large scale deployments.

2.3.2 Communication Access Test Tool (CATT)

The Communication Access Test Tool (“CATT”) is a highly mobile radio frequency (“RF”) software tool for testing and analyzing the SSN Neighborhood Area Network (“NAN”). CATT typically runs on a laptop PC or handheld device connected to an SSN Field Service Unit (“FSU”) over a USB port. The FSU is described in Attachment B to the MSA, Equipment Terms.

The FSU communicates wirelessly with any UtilOS®-enabled Network Interface Card (“NIC”). These NICs are installed in Access Points, Relays, smart electricity meters, water and gas Interface Management Units (“IMU”s), DA Radios, and any other UtilOS® enabled device. Because CATT resides on a laptop or handheld and the FSU is only 4.6 inches long and weighs 1.5 ounces, one can use CATT and the FSU anywhere in the deployment area — from a vehicle or on foot — to communicate with any SSN device.

CATT performs the following basic tasks:

 

   

Transmits messages through the FSU to NICs

 

   

Receives messages from NICs through the FSU

 

Silver Spring Networks / FPL SOW Attachment B-5– Confidential 08/20/2009 – Final

*

Another way of answering 7) and 8) would be to provide a Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective.

Recovery Time Objective (Definition)

The time period after a disaster at which business functions need to be restored. Different business functions may have different recovery time objectives. For example, the recovery time objective for the payroll function may be two weeks, whereas the recovery time objective for sales order processing may be two days.

Recovery Point Objective (Definition)

In a disaster you will generally lose data. The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the time (relative to the disaster) to which you plan to recover your data. For example, if you take overnight backups, the recovery point objective will often be the end of the previous day’s activity.

6.1.1.2

Implementation/Enforcement

All individuals, business units, or personnel as identified by the scope of this policy, are responsible for understanding and complying with the FPL Network Access & Connectivity Policy and any or all referenced applicable standards or policies. FPL’s organizational management at all levels are accountable for ensuring that this policy and any associated or referenced policies and standards are properly communicated and understood within their respective organizational units.

Compliance to this policy is monitored by FPL Information Security. Approved personnel will audit any systems or devices connected to FPL’s Networks to ensure compliance with this policy.

 

6.1.1.3

Exceptions

All desired exceptions to this policy must be documented and sent to FPL’s Information Security by the application or system owner for consideration. The requested exception will be viewed and subsequently approved or denied by Information Security based on the results of a Risk Analysis & Assessment conducted by Information Security.

Upon reporting an exception, Information Security will initiate a Risk Analysis & Assessment to determine the exact course of action, if needed, to remedy or mitigate any concerns posed by the device and subsequent policy exception.

Failure to follow or adhere to requirements as stated in The FPL Network Access & Connectivity Policy, and any of the applicable referenced standards or policies contained therein may result in:

1. Report issued to system or application owner’s management for appropriate resolution or disciplinary action or

2. Restriction of access to high risk protocol(s) or service(s) running on the system or device, and/or disconnection of the system from FPL network resources.

Definitions:

Device: Any machine or component that attaches to a computer. Examples of devices include disk drives, printers, mice, and modems. These particular devices fall into the category of peripheral devices because they are separate from the main computer. Display monitors and keyboards are also devices, but because they are integral parts of the computer, they are not considered peripheral. Most devices, whether peripheral or not, require a program called a device driver that acts as a translator, converting general commands from an application into specific commands that the device understands.

System: Computers, either standalone or networked to other computers.

No person may be appointed as an arbitrator unless he or she is independent of each party, is knowledgeable regarding the subject matter of the dispute. The sole question to be determined by the arbitrator shall be whether or not there existed a Release Event at the time Licensee delivered the Notice to NCC Group and whether the event or circumstance giving rise to the release event has been rectified.

 

  8.2

If the arbitrator finds that a Release Event existed at the time of delivery of the Notice to NCC Group, NCC Group is hereby authorized to release and deliver the Escrow Material to the Licensee within 5 working days of the decision being notified by the arbitrator lo the parties. If the arbitrator finds to the contrary, then NCC Group shall not release the Escrow Material and shall continue to hold it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

  8.3

The parties hereby agree that the costs and expenses of the arbitrator, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party in the arbitration and any costs incurred by NCC Group in the arbitration shall be paid by the non-prevailing party.

  11.5
