This Grandfathered Health Plan Form must be signed by the group representative and returned to our offices at least 10 days prior to your renewal effective date in order to change your renewal(s) to a grandfathered health plan design. If a plan is modified to a non - grandfathered health plan design on its effective date, it cannot later revert back to a grandfathered health plan design.

We define specific parameters with you at the onset of the contract which becomes our Service Level Agreement (SLA). During Quarterly Business Review meetings, the Project Managers, Major Account Customer Care Rep- resentative and Service Manager review the performance of the fleet and measure our results against the SLA parameters. Our technicians use a scheduled "total call process" procedure to ensure that every aspect of the sys- tem is tested to ensure reliability and prevent down time. During unscheduled maintenance, call fulfill- ment will be the highest priority of the technician. While at the unit, they will physically inspect for cleanliness, damage, check codes and meters for upcoming supply replenishment. Over one third of the Dahlll organization is dedicated to servicing our customers with over 130 people. Call Response and Escalation Departments requiring maintenance can request a service call in two ways: Phone call into dispatch or Log a service call via website. The website Ilnk(s) can be placed on Brazos County Purchasing Depart- ment intranet site If desired. Once a call is logged, a Dahill service technician will be assigned to the call and an ETA will be provided back via email. Users can track the status of their call via the web link. Ser- vice hours are 9:00 A.M. -5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. The response time will be within 4 hours. Dahill also offers Remote IT Support. Dahill has dedicated helpdesk technicians that respond to end user calls for MFP, printing, scanning and workflow related calls. When necessary, the technician can use a secure remote session, sharing the end user's PC to re- solve the issue. They can access the MFP, change settings, reboot, re -load print drivers, scanner settings etc. On average, 75% of calls received can be resolved over the phone. If the call cannot be resolved, a field technician is dispatched. Call escalation will go from the on -site service technician to the service manager. Depending on the na- ture of the call, it can include a "hot swap" unit, depot repair, network technician and /or manufacturer support. If a unit will be down for more than a day, a service loaner of comparable features will be pro- vided free of charge. During the implementation process, after hour service will be available free of charge to Brazos County Purchasing Department. After implementation, service can be made available after -hours and on weekends, preferably with advanced noticed. The following pages detail our web support services. dhill A� Vol. 211 Pg.

How it works: eXpress Meters uses a program to allow audit information to be sent from your network to a re- mote destination (Dahill) as an attachment to an email or an XML stream. By default, this information is encrypt- ed, and requires a user and pass combination for authentication. It uses Automatic Network Discovery Settings (ANDS) to discover and communicate with the different network elements. Network IP ranges may be manually added to fully access all devices across your WAN and Firewalls. All SMTP enabled devices (all brands of networked printers and MFPs) will report usage /meters to us. Brazos County Purchasing Department will be able to log into their secure hosted website and see all reported data in- cluding total output (blend of copy /print) for billing verification. Reported data can also be broken up by loca- tion, or department. Reports can be downloaded into Excel spreadsheet format. Brazos County Purchasing De- partment can also compare quarterly usage. Once Brazos County Purchasing Department receives the invoice from Dahill, you can verify the calculations using the Internal web -based reporting function. Since the process is automated and uses actual data, it will reduce time and frustration dealing with billing errors. Dahill eXpress Me- ters and FMAudit Onsite will be provided to Brazos County Purchasing Department at no additional cost. t Better cost management • Network accounting- enabled to provide accurate usage tracking, reporting and billing • Ensures more accurate meter reads for bill -back to appropriate groups • Usage tracking lets you intelligently manage assets cost effectively • Consistent reports in familiar, easy -to -read formats, giving you comprehensive, easy to understand analysis that's instantly actionable • Flexible data collection settings can provide data dally, weekly, monthly or annually • Flexible reports allow you to compare usage trends dahill 'AN• *."* Vol. 211 Pa.
