Represented algebraically, System Availability for any particular calendar month is determined as follows:

image

NOTE: 'Total Monthly Time' is deemed to include all minutes in the relevant calendar month, to the extent such minutes are included within the Subscription Term.

2. System Performance

2.1 System Availability: Talon.One will undertake commercially reasonable measures to ensure that System Availability equals or exceeds ninety- nine point nine percent (99.9%) during each calendar month (the 'Service Standard'), provided that any Unscheduled Downtime occurring as a result of circumstances beyond Talon.One's reasonable control including, without limitation, (i) Customer's breach of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) non-compliance by Customer with any provision of this Exhibit; (iii) incompatibility of Customer's equipment or software with the Subscription Service; (iv) poor or inadequate performance of Customer's systems; or (vi) force majeure (as contemplated in the Agreement), shall not be considered toward any reduction in System Availability measurements.

2.2 Access to Support; Response Times: Customers may report any Unscheduled Downtime by email at support@talon.one 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Talon.One classifies problems with the Subscription Service using the following problem classification table:

image

Upon discovery of a problem both Parties shall promptly inform each other on discovery of the problem according to the classifications above. The following table specifies the reaction steps, which must be performed by Talon.One and Customer by which Talon.One deals with the specific problem reports:

  • Step 1 - Identification: Talon.One confirms that the problem exists and starts to collect information and performs an analysis.

  • Step 2 - Temporary Solution: Talon.One processes the problem and provides a temporary work around, if possible, as soon as possible, in order to make the Subscription Service at least partially available.

  • Step 3 - Problem Resolution: Talon.One provides a final solution to the problem, so that the Subscription Service is fully available again.

Both Parties shall inform each other regularly on the status of the error.

3. Measurement and Reports

3.1 System Monitoring and Measurement: Talon.One will provide for monitoring of System Availability on an ongoing basis. All measurements of System Availability will be calculated on a monthly basis for each calendar month during the Subscription Term.

3.2 System Performance Reports: Upon Customer's request, Talon.One will provide reports to Customer on a quarterly basis setting forth measurements of Unscheduled Downtime and a calculation of System Availability for the relevant preceding quarter. If Customer disagrees with any measurement or other information set forth in any such report, it must so inform Talon.One in writing within five (5) calendar days after receipt thereof, provided that the accuracy of any such report shall be deemed conclusive unless such notice is provided by Customer. Any such notice must indicate specific measurements in dispute and must include a detailed description of the nature of the dispute. Talon.One and Customer agree to attempt to settle any such disputes regarding System Availability and/or related measurements in a timely manner by mutual good faith discussions.

4. Customer Requirements

4.1 Minimum System Requirement: The service standards set forth in this Exhibit assume that Customer, as applicable, meets the minimum system standards established by Talon.One.

4.2 Additional Customer Obligations: Except as otherwise agreed between the Parties in a separate written agreement, Customer is responsible for (i) maintenance and management of its computer network(s), servers, software, and any equipment or services related to maintenance and management of the foregoing; and (ii) correctly configuring Customer's systems in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.3 Reporting of Unscheduled Downtime: Customer must promptly notify Talon.One in the event Unscheduled Downtime occurs. Unscheduled Downtime will be deemed to begin when Talon.One receives accurate notification thereof from Customer, or when Talon.One first becomes aware of such Unscheduled Downtime, whichever first occurs.

4.4 Non-Performance by Customer: The obligations of Talon.One set forth in this Exhibit will be excused to the extent any failures to meet such obligations result in whole or in part from Customer's failure(s) to meet the foregoing requirements.

4.5 Suspension: If the Customer endangers the security, integrity or availability of networks, the Talon.One's servers or the Subscription Service, or if Talon.One has an objective reason to suspect so, then Talon.One may temporarily suspend Customer's access to the Subscription Service. In case of deliberate actions by the Customer, Talon.One may terminate the contract with immediate effect: (a) if the Customer's system or Subscription Service becomes an object of Denial of Service attacks by Customer; (b) if Customer is responsible for sending spam mails or text/multimedia messages (SMS/MMS) via the Subscription Service; or (c) if the Customer saves content on the Talon.One' servers, which violates any laws or infringes on the rights of third parties.

5. Remedies

In the event Unscheduled Downtime occurs, Talon.One will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such Unscheduled Downtime within a commercially reasonable timeframe. If Talon.One is unable to meet the System Availability standards set forth in Section 2.1 of this Exhibit, Customer shall be entitled to the following service credits ('Service Credits'), provided that the maximum number of Service Credits to be issued by Talon.One to Customer for any and all Unscheduled Downtime shall not exceed one month of service.
