Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

1. Availability.

a. Formula. The Service will, subject to the exceptions listed below, be available 99% of the time during each calendar month from the time that the Services go-live in Customer’s production environment (referred to herein as the ‘Availability Commitment’). The availability of the Service for a given month will be calculated according to the following formula (referred to herein as the ‘Availability’):

Where: Total minutes in the month = TMM

Total minutes in the month the Service is unavailable = TMU

And: ((TMM-TMU) X 100)/TMM

b. For purposes of this calculation, the Service will be deemed to be unavailable (referred to herein as ‘Unavailable’) only (i) if the Service does not respond to HTTP requests issued by RewardCo’s monitoring software, or (ii) for the duration of a Severity-1 Error as defined in Schedule B to the Agreement. Further, the Service will not be deemed Unavailable for any downtime or outages excluded from such calculation by reason of the exceptions set forth in Section 2 of this SLA. RewardCo’s records and data will be the basis for all SLA calculations and determinations.

c. Maintenance performed at Customer’s request outside of the normally scheduled maintenance will not be considered an outage.

2. Exceptions

a. The Service will not be considered to be Unavailable for any outage that results from any maintenance performed by RewardCo

• during the standard RewardCo implementation window(s) agreed upon by RewardCo and Customer during Customer’s implementation period; or
• during RewardCo’s standard maintenance windows which occur Saturdays and Sundays between _____ and _________ (collectively referred to herein as ‘Scheduled Maintenance’).

b. The RewardCo network extends to, includes and terminates at the data center located router that provides the outside interface of each of RewardCo’s WAN connections to its backbone providers (referred to herein as the ‘RewardCo Network’). The Service will not be considered Unavailable for any outage unavailability of the Service due to (a) Customer’s information content or application programming, acts or omissions of Customer or its agents; (b) delays or failures due to circumstances beyond RewardCo’s reasonable control that could not be avoided by its exercise of due care; or (c) failures of Internet backbone itself and the network by which Customer connects to the Internet backbone or any other network unavailability outside of the RewardCo Network.

3. Remedies. Subject to the exceptions provided for in this SLA, Customer will have the rights set forth below.

a. If the total Availability (as calculated in Section 1 above) for a given month is less than the Availability Commitment, Customer will receive one Service Credit. In addition, for the first 100 minute increment by which the allowable Unavailability is exceeded, Customer will receive one-half (1/2) of a Service Credit. Thereafter, for each additional 100-minute increment by which the allowable outage is exceeded, Customer will receive one (1) additional Service Credit.

b. For purposes of this SLA, a Service Credit will be deemed to be an amount equal to the pro rata fee for one (1) day of the Subscription to the affected Service (herein referred to as ‘Service Credit’). The total Service Credits for a given month will, in no event, exceed an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the then-current pro-rata monthly fee for the applicable Subscription to use the affected Service. Service Credits will be applied to extend the Term of the applicable Subscription.

c. Remedies will not accrue (i.e., no Service Credits will be issued and an outage will not be considered unavailability for purposes of this SLA) if Customer is not current in its payment obligations.

d. Upon written request from Customer, RewardCo shall promptly provide a report specifying the level of Unavailability and Service Credits due (if any) for the requested month. To receive Service Credits, Customer must submit such request within 90 days after the end of the month in which the Service was Unavailable.
