The Agreement is made and entered into with reference to the following:
(a) | PG&E is one of the largest combination natural gas and electric utilities in the United States. Based in San Francisco, the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of PG&E Corporation. Its operations are regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and other regulatory agencies. |
(b) | PG&E intends to acquire and deploy radio frequency mesh technology (RF Mesh) and home area network (HAN) technology and solid state electric meters incorporating integrated service management switches capable of supporting disconnect, reconnect and load limitation functionality (Meters) for use in PG&Es electric metering network (such technology is referred to as the SmartMeter System and such project is referred to as the SmartMeter Upgrade Project). |
(c) | The SmartMeter Upgrade Project involves: (i) the acquisition, installation and operation of the RF Mesh, HAN and Meters for the capture, analysis, storage and processing of data from PG&Es residential customers; (ii) the integration of those systems with PG&Es existing systems; and (iii) the coordination of changes in key PG&E business processes. PG&E desires all of those activities be performed in a manner that delivers automated metering and other business functionality, and the associated financial, operational and other benefits expected from the SmartMeter Upgrade Project, without impairing PG&Es ongoing operations, billing, and customer service. |
(d) | PG&E will procure the installation of the SmartMeter Systems and Meters and the integration of such systems with PG&Es existing systems through separate agreements with third party product and service providers. In particular, PG&E, SSN and a number of Meter suppliers have collaborated to develop a number of Meter options incorporating SSNs RF Mesh and HAN technology. |
(e) | SSNs role and responsibilities under this Agreement will be to provide certain products comprising a portion of the SmartMeter System (as more fully described in the Annexes to Schedule A) and associated implementation support, training, documentation and other services as necessary to enable PG&E to implement the SmartMeter System. In respect to Meters, SSN will work closely with PG&Es Meter suppliers to deliver integrated Meter, RF Mesh and HAN end point devices through contracts between PG&E and the Meter suppliers. |
(f) | The SmartMeter Upgrade Project is being conducted in accordance with the CPUCs 2002 Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) to improve demand response by retail customers in California. |
(g) | The Agreement establishes the terms and conditions on which PG&E will, through the execution and delivery of Purchase Orders, purchase Products and Services from SSN. |

18.5 | Indemnification Procedures |
The following procedures will apply only to third party Claims for which a PG&E lndemnitee *** (an Indemnitee) seeks to be indemnified by SSN *** (the Indemnitor) pursuant to the Agreement:
(a) | Notice. Promptly after an lndemnitee receives notice of any Claim for which it will seek indemnification pursuant to the Agreement, the Indemnitee will promptly notify the Indemnitor of the Claim in writing and, in that notice, will advise the lndemnitor whether the Indemnitor is the sole indemnifying party with respect to the Claim. No failure to so notify the Indemnitor will abrogate or diminish the Indemnitors obligations under this Section 18.5 if the Indemnitor has or receives Knowledge of the Claim by other means or if the failure to notify does not materially prejudice its ability to defend the Claim. |
(b) | Right to Control Multiple Indemnifying Parties. If the Indemnitor is not the sole indemnifying party with respect to the claim, the Parties shall enter into a joint defense agreement regulating the defense of the Claim. |
PG&E and SSN Confidential
Page 22
SmartMeter Program Upgrade Supply Agreement (SSN)
(c) | Right to Control Sole Indemnifying Party. If the lndemnitor is the sole indemnifying party with respect to the Claim, within *** days after receiving an Indemnitees notice of a Claim, but no later than *** days before the date on which any formal response to the Claim is due, the Indemnitor will notify the lndemnitee in writing as to whether the Indemnitor acknowledges its indemnification obligation and elects to assume control of the defense and resolution of the Claim (a Notice of Election). In issuing a Notice of Election, the Indemnitor waives any right of contribution against the Indemnitee unless the Notice of Election expressly states that the Indemnitor believes in good faith that the lndemnitee may be liable for portions of the Claim that are not subject to indemnification by the Indemnitor, in which case the lndemnitee will have the right to participate jointly in the defense and settlement of the Claim at its own expense using counsel selected by it. If the Indemnitor timely delivers a Notice of Election, the Indemnitor will be entitled to have sole control over the defense and resolution of the Claim except as provided in this Section. Nothing in this Section will preclude the Indemnitee from participating in its defense and retaining its own counsel at its own expertise. |
(d) | Procedure Where No Notice of Election Is Delivered. If the Indemnitor does not deliver a timely Notice of Election for a Claim, the Indemnitee may defend and/or settle the Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnitor, including payment of any settlement, judgment or award and the costs of defending or settling the Claim. The Indemnitor will promptly reimburse the Indemnitee upon demand for all indemnifiable Liabilities suffered or incurred by the Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with the Claim. |
(e) | Indemnitee to Provide Reasonable Assistance. The Indemnitee will provide reasonable assistance to the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitors cost and expense, including reasonable assistance from the Indemnitees employees, agents, and Affiliates, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 18.5, the lndemnitor may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief affecting the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee. |
18.6 | Liability for *** |
Any Intellectual Property Right infringement or misappropriation Claim against PG&E arising out of any *** shall be defended *** and the cost of such defense and any settlements or liabilities incurred shall be ***. If the Parties cannot agree as to *** then they shall be ***

(SSN), dated July 23, 2008, as amended (the Agreement) is made and entered into on the date of last signature below. Herein, each of PG&E and SSN may individually be referred to as a Party and both may collectively be referred to as the Parties.
RECITALS
A. Section 28 of the Agreement (Insurance and ***) obligates SSN to deliver to PG&E certain ***.
B. SSN has previously tendered its performance under Section 28 by presenting a *** issued by ***, in a form acceptable to PG&E.
C. ***
D. SSN has proposed that it be given the option, from time to time, to supply a performance bond, in lieu of a ***, in either case from an institution acceptable to PG&E.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants between the Parties and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree to amend and restate Section 28 of the Agreement as follows:
1. | INSURANCE AND PERFORMANCE BONDS |
1.1 | Insurance |
SSN shall maintain insurance as set forth in Schedule M (Insurance).
1.2 | Performance Bond or *** |
(a) | On or before the Initial Performance Bond Date, SSN shall deliver or cause to be delivered to PG&E a Performance Bond, in a form acceptable to PG&E and *** (the Surety) and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (Form of Performance Bond), in the amount of *** (the Initial Performance Bond) issued by the Surety to serve as collateral and partial security for the rights of PG&E under this Agreement, as more fully described in this Section 28.2 until such time as PG&E is required to surrender the same pursuant to Section 28.2(f) below. The Initial Performance Bond Date is the first weekday *** days after PG&E and the Surety both notify SSN that they have |
Amendment No. 7
Page 3
reached agreement on the form of the Initial Performance Bond. SSN shall use reasonable commercial efforts to assist PG&E in finalizing the form of the Initial Performance Bond with the Surety. *** The performance bond held by PG&E at any time pursuant to this Section 28.2(a) shall be referred to as the Existing Performance Bond. The *** held by PG&E at any time pursuant to this Section 28.2(a) shall be referred to as the ***. PG&E agrees to surrender the Existing Performance Bond or ***, as applicable, to SSN upon PG&Es receipt of the replacement performance bond or *** delivered in connection with the ***. |
(b) | Claim or Draw by PG&E. PG&E may, but is not required to, make a claim against the Existing Performance Bond (in full or in part), or a draw against the *** (in full or in part), as applicable, to recover amounts that are properly due to PG&E with respect to any claim that PG&E may have against SSN under this Agreement and for which PG&E is entitled to damages, indemnity or other monetary relief. In addition, PG&E may, but is not required to, make a claim against the Existing Performance Bond (in full or in part) or draw against an *** (in full or in part) if SSN fails to satisfy any of the ***. If PG&E believes that it has a claim under this Agreement for which it is entitled to make a claim against the Existing Performance Bond, or a draw against the ***, as applicable, PG&E may make such claim or draw in an amount (up to and including the amount of the Existing Performance Bond, or ***, if applicable) equal to PG&Es good faith estimate of the maximum amount that it is entitled to recover hereunder with respect to such claim or, in the event of a failure of SSN to satisfy any of the ***, the entire amount of an Existing Performance Bond. If such maximum amount is in excess of the amount of the Existing Performance Bond or ***, any such claim against the Existing Performance Bond or *** by PG&E shall in no way prejudice PG&Es ability to seek relief directly against SSN for such excess and shall in no event obviate SSNs obligations to satisfy any subsequent ***. Promptly, and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after making such claim against the Existing Performance Bond, or draw against the ***, as applicable, PG&E shall send SSN a written notice of such claim, setting forth the amount of the claim and also setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the belief as to why PG&E is entitled to such amount (the Draw Notice). If SSN disputes the basis for, or the amount of, the claim or draw, as applicable, it shall give PG&E written notice of the dispute (a Draw Objection) within *** days after delivery of the Draw Notice to SSN. If SSN fails to deliver a Draw Objection within that time period, SSN shall be deemed to have |
Amendment No. 7
Page 4
consented to the claim or draw, as applicable, and PG&Es entitlement hereunder to the amounts so claimed or drawn. If SSN delivers a timely Draw Objection, then either Party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration in San Francisco, California, under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). |
(c) | ***. |
(d) | Subsequent Compliance. If PG&E makes a claim on an Existing Performance Bond or draws on an *** due to SSNs failure to satisfy a Replacement Obligation, and if SSN subsequently satisfies the Replacement Obligation, PG&E shall pay the drawn amount to SSN. |
(e) | Termination. PG&E shall surrender the Existing Performance Bond or ***, as applicable, to SSN, and SSNs *** shall terminate, upon the first to occur of: |
(i) | in connection with the closing of the sale of SSNs common stock in a firmly underwritten initial public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if (A) *** and (B) ***, each as evidenced in the filing of a final effective Prospectus or Registration Statement or in the first quarterly report on Form 10-Q or first annual report on Form 10-K, as applicable, filed by SSN after the closing of such initial public offering (an IPO Termination Event); or |
(ii) | When the SSN network is Billing Ready (as defined in Section 4 of Schedule B (Pricing and Payment Terms)) with respect to *** Meters (a System Scale Termination Event). |
(f) | Procedure for surrender and termination. In order for PG&E to be obligated to surrender the Existing Performance Bond or ***, as applicable, and in order for the *** to terminate SSN shall deliver to PG&E a written request (a Termination Request) for such surrender and termination, setting forth, in reasonable detail together with such supporting documentation as PG&E may reasonably request (including the final Prospectus or Registration Statement or the Form 10-Q or Form 10-K referenced above, as applicable, with respect to an IPO Termination Event), the basis for the belief as to why an IPO Termination Event or a System Scale Termination Event, as applicable, has occurred. Within *** Business Days after receipt by PG&E of a Termination Request, PG&E may deliver to SSN a written objection to the Termination Request (a Termination Objection). The Termination |
Amendment No. 7
Page 5
Objection shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for PG&Es dispute (a Termination Dispute) and as to why an IPO Termination Event or a System Scale Termination Event, as applicable, has not occurred. PG&Es issuance or failure to issue a Termination Objection shall not prejudice PG&Es right to draw funds against the Existing Performance Bond or ***, as applicable, as provided in Section 28.2(c) If, in connection with a Termination Request, PG&E fails to deliver a Termination Objection to SSN by the end of the *** Business Day following the receipt of the Termination Request by PG&E, the IPO Termination Event or the System Scale Termination Event, as applicable, shall be deemed to have occurred and PG&E shall surrender the Existing Performance Bond or ***, as applicable, to SSN. If PG&E delivers a timely Termination Objection with respect to a Termination Request, then such Termination Dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration in San Francisco, California, under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). |

1.5 | SmartMeter System Overview |
Understanding the SSN PG&E Process for Ticket Management Process begins with a basic understanding of the SmartMeter System and of the PG&E incident and service ticket management process. The jointly managed process is tailored to provide the required input to the PG&E internal process allowing PG&E to fulfill the stewardship required of it while allowing SSN to have a more efficient process to handle incidents and service requests.
Silver Springs Network (SSN) provides a RF-based AMI system. It has Access Points as part of a Wide Area Network (WAN). Each WAN routes data for a wireless Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) comprised of SSN relays and electricity meters. Note: Figure 1 below represents existing 3.6.1 architecture. Architecture will be updated over time to meet capacity and software requirements.

2. | SERVICE TICKET MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS |
2.1 | What Infrastructure and Software Is Covered? |
This OLA applies to:
| The production and non-production hardware, software and services that are included in the hosting and management services provided by SSN pursuant to Schedule O; and |
| all Software that is subject to the maintenance and support obligations in Schedule H. |
2.2 | What Tickets are Covered? |
The Ticket Management Process encompasses the following types of incidents and requests:
| Incident Reports relating to the unplanned loss or degradation of service of an Infrastructure Component. The evaluation and resolution of an Incident may include a determination that the Incident is the result of a Defect in SSN Software, in which case the requirements of Schedule H (Software Maintenance and Support) will govern the correction of the Defect within the overarching Ticket Management Process as more fully explained below. |
| Service Requests minor discretionary changes to Software, hardware or services that may be requested by PG&E, such as an access-related request (new user setup, password resets, etc) and minor changes to the composition and timing of system generated reports. Significant discretionary changes (major software enhancements, etc) must follow the Change Control process and are not covered by the Ticket Management Process. |
| Tech Support Requests Requests for technical support and assistance from PG&E pursuant to Schedule H, such as how to use the Software and interfaces developed by SSN as necessary for the operation, maintenance, support and enhancement of PG&Es SmartMeter System provided by SSN. |
Each Incident Report, Service Request and Tech Support Request opened either by PG&E or SSN is referred to as a Ticket.
2.3 | Overview of Ticket Management Process |
(a) | The primary goals of the Ticket Management Process are: |
(i) | For Incident Reports, to resolve each Incident so that service functionality and security is restored and to mitigate the effects of the Incident, consistent with the priority or severity level assigned to that Incident. Secondary goals are to |
Page 8 of 23 Attachment 3 To Schedule O (Amendment 6) |
document the Incident as well as the remedial and/or preventive measures taken to prevent or minimize the likelihood of reoccurrence of the Incident. |
(ii) | For Service Requests, to successfully complete the request within the required resolution time frame. |
(iii) | For Tech Support Requests, to successfully complete the request within the required resolution time frame. |
(b) | Tickets will be handled in the following manner: |
(i) | The Ticket is opened by SSN as described in Section 2.8. |
(ii) | A priority is assigned by PG&E based on the potential impact if the incident or request goes unresolved and may be based upon business urgency. Priority levels are identified in Table A below and are more fully described in Section 2.5. PG&E may propose changes to the priority designation of a Ticket at any time, so long as that change is consistent with the priority levels stated in this OLA, by providing notice of the change to SSN. Notification must be given by the PG&E representatives identified in the notification table in Section 3.1. If SSN disagrees with the Priority level assigned to a Ticket, or if SSN believes that a Ticket should not be opened in SSNs system, it may escalate the Ticket to one of PG&Es Designated Representatives (see Section 3.1). In order to change a Ticket priority level to P1 or P2 PG&E also must contact SSN by telephone or in person to confirm that SSN is aware of this change. |
(iii) | Acknowledgement is made by SSN within the required response times (Table 2) based upon priority. For areas within its responsibility, SSN will be responsible for Resolving the Incident or Request. This includes: |
(1) | Completing Resolution activities, which will include implementing workarounds as necessary to restore service as soon as possible pending implementation of a permanent fix. |
(2) | Determining whether the Incident or Request is caused by a Defect, in which case Defect resolution must be performed by SSN in accordance with the requirements of Schedule H. Note that Schedule H assigns Severity Levels to Defects based on the criteria described in that document; Severity Levels and response/resolution times may be different to the Priority Level assigned to the underlying Incident Report or Service Request as part of the Ticket Management Process. Note also that Defect resolution under Schedule H should proceed in parallel with the implementation of a workaround wherever appropriate to re-establish service as soon as practicable. |
(3) | Responding to and resolving any non-Defect related Service Requests and Tech Support Requests in accordance with this OLA. |
Page 9 of 23 Attachment 3 To Schedule O (Amendment 6) |
(4) | Escalating and managing the resolution of Tickets with third party suppliers within SSNs area of responsibility (e.g., third party software and equipment suppliers) and referring field repair Tickets back to PG&E for dispatch. |
(iv) | Updates are provided by SSN within the required timeframes (Table A) as to the status of each incident or request and its resolution. Resolution of non-Defect related incidents and requests is performed by SSN within the required timeframes shown in Section 2.1. SSN will report its performance against the parameters set forth in Table A on a weekly basis, as more fully described in Section 2.12. |
(v) | If an Incident Ticket is Resolved via a temporary workaround or repair that is acceptable to PG&E without resolving the underlying root cause, the Ticket will be closed and a new Ticket (a Problem Ticket) will be opened and linked to the original Incident Ticket. The Problem Ticket will be assigned a Priority level consistent with the importance of the root cause remediation effort. |
(vi) | After Resolution, a Ticket will be marked as Resolved but will not be closed until PG&E has confirmed that Resolution has been completed. |
2.4 | Ticket Response and Resolution |

(c) | By way of explanation of Table A: |
(i) | SSN and PG&E will work continuously to Resolve all Priority 1 incidents during the periods of required availability as shown in Table A. |
(ii) | SSN personnel will be available via telephone or email contact from *** each week, excluding SSN holidays, to work on all P2, P3 & P4 Tickets. SSN will provide a list of its holidays to PG&E annually in advance. SSN will provide support during all other hours through automated monitors maintained by SSN, and during these hours PG&E will have the ability to contact SSN personnel by a mutually agreed upon mechanism and receive a response in accordance with the timeframes set out in Table A above. |
1 | If an Incident involves a Software Defect that must be resolved pursuant to Schedule H, SSNs responsibility under the OLA is to either Resolve the Defect or implement a workaround (if practicable) during this Target Resolution Time. The Incident Ticket may be closed once the workaround is implemented. If a workaround cannot reasonably be implemented within the Target Resolution Time, the Incident Ticket will remain open but will be suspended (for purposes of calculating the Tickets resolution time) until the Defect is resolved in accordance with Schedule H. [Example: ***.] |
Page 11 of 23 Attachment 3 To Schedule O (Amendment 6) |
(d) | PG&E may request, and SSN will provide, additional support as follows, at no additional charge: |
(i) | SSN and PG&E personnel will be available to attend war room/SWAT meetings as needed (and remotely if required). |
(ii) | When required by PG&Es IT Coordination Center or during PG&E distribution outages, Infrastructure Component maintenance, Field Network firmware upgrades, SSN and PG&E personnel will be available 24x7x365 to continuously work on and Resolve P1 and P2 Incidents and Service Requests. |
(iii) | If requested by PG&E with reasonable advance notice, SSN will provide heightened support in readiness for storms and other events that are expected to have a significant impact on PG&Es operations. |
(iv) | PG&E may schedule, and SSN will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide applicable operational support for, PG&E testing and maintenance activities and Service Requests on weekends and/or outside regular SSN business hours to minimize the operational impact of those activities on PG&Es operations. |

2.5 | How are Ticket Priority Levels Determined? |
(a) | PG&E will determine the Priority level of each Ticket at the time when the Ticket is opened. PG&E may revise a Priority level after the level is initially assigned based on changed business circumstances or a better understanding of the impact of the Ticket on its business operations. A Priority change must be approved by one of the PG&E notification representatives identified in Section 3.1 or their replacement. |
(b) | Generally, PG&E will assign Priority levels using the following parameters: |

Note: Non Production Systems are the ***, ***, Pilot, Integration and *** environments.
2.6 | How are Tickets Generated? |
(a) | Incident Reports, Service Requests, and Tech Support Requests may originate as follows: |
(i) | Incident Reports and Defects: Discovery of an incident or defect may be made by either PG&E or SSN in either PG&E or SSN hosted infrastructure. In some cases corrective work may be required in both environments. In all cases joint system testing will be required. |
(ii) | Service requests and tech support requests: Service requests and tech support requests will only be made by designated representatives of PG&E. SSN will not accept Requests from non-designated PG&E personnel unless directed to do so by a PG&E designated representative. The designated representative(s) will be advised to SSN in writing by PG&E and updated in writing from time to time. |
(iii) | A Ticket must be created for each Incident Report, Service Request and Tech Support Request as described in Section 2.8. A flow diagram illustrating the Ticket management process is shown and explained further in Section 3.1. |
Page 15 of 23 Attachment 3 To Schedule O (Amendment 6) |
(b) | SSN shall provide and maintain a Ticketing system and support site that provides real-time Ticket creation, management and status tracking functionality to support the processes described in this OLA. |
(c) | Reporting from this Ticketing system will be developed progressively with PG&E input and will be finalized to meet the automated reporting requirements of this OLA no later than *** days after execution of this amendment. Prior to that date reporting will be primarily manual or via data dumps in a form acceptable to PG&E. |
2.7 | How Are Security Related Incidents Handled? |
In addition to the product support type Incidents defined in this document, PG&E also has Security Incident Response Policies that address any events or circumstances that significantly affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of PG&E information assets. SSN will immediately report and respond to all security-related incidents related to PG&E assets as described in the security Incident policies and plans referenced in Section 1.5. The PG&E Information Security (InfoSec) group is responsible for primary support for information security incidents. This may result in an Incident ticket being opened by PG&E for action by SSN if Infrastructure Components are implicated.
2.8 | What are SSNs Ticket Management Responsibilities? |
SSN is responsible for the following in support of PG&Es Ticket Management Process:
(a) | Overall Responsibilities. Providing centralized ticket management of Incident, Service Request and Tech Support Request Tickets assigned to SSN using a Ticket management methodology and a ticketing tool that satisfy each of the following requirements: |
(i) | Methodological alignment with the current version of ITIL. |
(ii) | A published Ticket Reporting manual reflecting SSNs approach and enabling tools; |
(iii) | Continuous coordination with PG&Es IT service desk, including the ability for PG&E to have read mode access to SSNs Ticketing platform (or to a portal interface for the same) in order to observe SSNs activities relative to the recording, assignment, tracking, escalation of Tickets. |
(iv) | On-demand access to standardized current and historical reports on PG&E Tickets, with information on current status, the overall ticket queue, and response and resolution times for each Priority level. |
(b) | Implementation and maintenance of processes under which a single SSN point of contact is assigned end-to-end responsibility for managing the resolution of each Ticket; |
Page 16 of 23 Attachment 3 To Schedule O (Amendment 6) |
(c) | Provision, operation, maintenance and administration of a single Ticket tracking and management tool (the Ticket Management System); |
(d) | Management and tracking of Tickets to closure or Resolution, as applicable; |
(e) | Establishment and maintenance of staff support teams and escalation points for PG&E within SSN; |
(f) | Logging of Ticket requests into the Ticket Management System upon receipt from an authorized PG&E representative, automated alarm or other source; |
(g) | Providing to PG&E, maintaining and regularly updating the Documentation describing SSNs Ticketing review and reporting procedures; |
(h) | Collecting and reporting Ticket metrics to PG&E on a monthly basis, in electronic form, including the following: |
(i) | Ticket aging report (by priority level and by age, as approved by PG&E); and |
(ii) | The metrics described in Section 2.4(d) ***. |
(i) | Ensuring that the SSN Personnel providing support are experienced in the installation and deployment of the SmartMeter System and familiar with the Products and Services provided under the Agreement. PG&E may request that SSN Personnel providing technical support be included in the list of *** set out in Schedule Q (Approved Subcontractors and Key Personnel), and subject to the provisions of Section 26.2 of the Agreement (***). |
(j) | SSN will provide PG&E electronic access to SSNs Ticketing system and support site that enables PG&E to open Tickets. The support site must enable PG&E to review Ticket status and obtain consolidated Ticket reports. Until such support site is implemented, PG&E may open Tickets by telephone or e-mail, and SSN will use its internal tools to open, track and report concerning Tickets. SSN will update the status of PG&Es open Tickets weekly in the internal tool or the future support site, whichever tool/site is the currently available problem ticket system. |
(k) | Third Party Software. In connection with third party software that is required to run the UtilityIQ System, SSN will coordinate its Ticket response and problem management efforts with relevant third parties, and will assist with: |
(i) | Patch installation and migration (including the preparation of related test plans and patch testing results); |
(ii) | Root cause analyses; and |
(iii) | System configuration in preparation or following patch testing or patch installation. |
2.9 | Problem Management |

SmartMeter Program Upgrade Supply Agreement (SSN) Annex A-2 Statement of Work
|
OVERVIEW
(a) | This Statement of Work is a description of certain work performed or to be performed1 under the SmartMeter Program Upgrade Supply Agreement (the Agreement) between Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and Silver Spring Networks (SSN) related to SmartMeter Upgrade Project network design, deployment, optimization, integration, testing and ongoing support. For clarity, certain SmartMeter Upgrade Project hosting services are described in Schedule O to the Agreement. |
(b) | This Statement of Work specifies the work to be provided by SSN for PG&E and it defines each Partys roles and responsibilities. |
(c) | SSN shall supply all necessary management, supervision, personnel, equipment, materials, tools, products, services, supplies, licenses and on-site support to deliver the Products and Services as set forth in this Statement of Work and in the Agreement. |
(d) | The network access points (Access Points) and relays (Relays) provided by SSN, including all associated attachments, features, accessories and peripheral devices, and other tangible components of such Access Points and Relays, as such units are described in Annex A-7 (List of SSN Products and Product Tools) (the Network Equipment) shall be scalable to support growth in the customer base through the purchase by PG&E of more Access Points, Relays and Software, as necessary, to support at least ***Meters. If more than *** Meters are deployed, refer to section 2.4 of this Annex A-2 and section 10.2 of Schedule O. |
(e) | During the SmartMeter Project, SSN shall allow and accommodate the presence of PG&E personnel at SSNs and subcontractors facilities, upon reasonable prior notice from PG&E. PG&E personnel will work at these facilities and perform QA audits and inspections in accordance with the Agreement. |
(f) | Exhibit 1 to this Statement of Work is a chart showing field network deployment activities before optimization (the Deployment Activities Chart). The Parties refer to the Deployment Activities Chart throughout this Statement of Work to clarify the sequence of deployment activities and the dependencies between deployment activities. If there is any conflict between a provision of this Statement of Work and the corresponding descriptions in the Deployment Activities Chart, the provision of this Statement of Work will have precedence. |
1 | In preparing Amendment No. 6, the parties did not attempt to update all of the Sections of this Annex A-2 to identify completed, ongoing and future activities. Consequently, this Annex A-2 describes all of the services to be provided by SSN after the Effective Date of the Agreement (i.e. after July 23, 2008) as subsequently modified by amendments up to and including Amendment 6, including certain services that have been completed prior to the Amendment 6 Effective Date. |
