| Form 105 Recovery Plan Assumptions |

Recovery Plan Assumptions |
| 1 |
| The Recovery Plan is targeted at the total unavailability of the computer center. Any conditions that are less |
| than this can be viewed as a subset of the total plan. The level of detail in the plan will be determined at the |
| beginning of the project. Essentially the Recovery Planning process is assuming a total disaster. |
| 2 |
| The Recovery Plan must presume that all computer services may have to resume in a location different from |
| the current location. This insures that all required data will be properly maintained in an offsite storage location, |
| will be accessible, and will have backup procedures properly audited. |
| 3 |
| The Recovery Plan itself will be immediately available following a disaster situation and will provide the proper |
| instructions for its execution by individuals designated to carry out certain activities. |
| 4 |
| Proper training, education, and testing will be part of the company's commitment to this project. This will |
| reduce the instructions that would be required for execution of the plan by a novice if required. |
| 5 |
| Proper maintenance of the Recovery Plan will be part of the ongoing commitment of the company using the |
| BASIC-RECOVERY methodology. This is very important to all involved for if the plan is not properly |
| maintained and is called upon for use in an emergency situation, the likelihood of problems is significantly |
| 6 |
| In the event of a disaster, the use of different hardware and/or software is highly undesirable as it could create |
| additional problems. The ideal situation keeps the technical requirements as close to those currently in place |
| in the computer center as possible thus minimizing potential confusion at a time when it would hinder recovery. |
| 7 |
| The Recovery Plan will focus on the potential impact, not the probability of occurrence. |
| 8 |
| Where possible the Recovery Plan will seek to mitigate risk. |
