I-CUBED STANDARD SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) sets forth the terms agreed to by Licensee and i-cubed, information integration & imaging,
LLC (“i-cubed”) with respect to basic levels of services provided by i-cubed in support of either hosted or Licensed Content. The
SLA includes the following areas:
1.
Performance Standards
Please see Appendix A (Schedule of Services) for Performance Standards specific to the services being rendered.
2.
Service Availability & Monitoring
For the i-cubed hosted systems and network connections – (including the web-servers that provide the API for the DataDoors
client applications, the database servers that store all user and job information, and POPS servers which process the data files),
i-cubed will provide response availability of ninety-nine point five percent (99.5%) each month (“Uptime”). (For purposes of
clarification, Uptime shall be deemed a guaranteed Service Level). The percentage of “Uptime” will be calculated by dividing
the total number of minutes of Outages during an applicable month by the total number of actual minutes in such month, and
then subtracting the resulting number from 1 and multiplying that amount by 100; i.e., a calculation using the following
formula:
[1 – (total outage minutes in a month/total minutes in said month) x 100]
An “Outage” is defined as any event, which interferes with the delivery of the API services or Licensor Content to Licensee. icubed shall not be liable for Outages that are the result of a failure of the web services or infrastructure of an upstream content
provider whose web services or content are re-published via i-cubed's web services. Outages fall into one of two Severity Level
categories described in Section 4, below.
Scheduled maintenance (as set forth in Section 3, below) shall not be counted as Outages for the purposes of the Uptime
calculation. In addition, any unavailability or failure to meet an identified Service Level due to the following causes outside of icubed’s control shall not be considered in the calculation of Service Levels: (a) downtime cause by a virus transmitted from
Licensee to i-cubed, (b) a Force Majeure event, (c) failure of an upstream provider, or (c) failures due to the general
unavailability of the Internet.
If i-cubed fails to attain a guaranteed Service Level in any given calendar month, i-cubed shall provide to Licensee the Downtime
Credits set forth in Section 5, below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, i-cubed’s failure to meet a Service Level commitment in
any two (2) out of a three (3) month period shall be deemed a material breach not subject to a Cure Period, and Licensee shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to i-cubed.
3.
Scheduled and Emergency Maintenance
i-cubed will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Licensee with no less than two (2) weeks advanced written
notification of changes to scheduled maintenance windows and/or upgrades. Scheduled maintenance shall occur between
13:00 Hours Sunday and 16:00 Hours Sunday, Mountain Time, unless changed pursuant to the foregoing. Scheduled
maintenance shall not exceed three (3) hours per week.
i-cubed will ensure that any maintenance conducted will follow industry standard change control procedures, including but not
limited to such safeguards as pre-testing and qualification of upgrades and new applications, backup maintenance, availability
of reversal and restoration procedures, and the maintenance of change logs for the purpose of future troubleshooting and
system analysis.
Emergency maintenance is defined as maintenance that must be performed by i-cubed outside of scheduled maintenance
windows, regardless of time of day. Such maintenance will be categorized as an Outage.
Customer should assume maintenance will be executed by i-cubed every week within the maintenance period specified above.
In order to provide a reminder to customers, i-cubed agrees to specifically remind customers of regularly scheduled
maintenance activities, and also agrees to the following notification schedule for all scheduled and non-scheduled events and
outages:

Incident Management Licensee: i-cubed will determine, in its reasonable opinion, the Severity Level for issues
based on the severity code definitions set forth below as a guideline. i-cubed will respond to the issue and use
best efforts to provide a patch, fix, repair, work-around, or other mechanism to resolve the issue as described in
the support table below (each a Service Level guaranty). During the incident isolation and troubleshooting
process, i-cubed will regularly communicate incident resolution progress and status updates to Licensee. If a
resolution is not possible within the timeframes set forth below, i-cubed shall provide Licensee with a plan to
resolve the issue(s) within twenty four (24) hours, and thereafter, i-cubed will work continuously against the plan
until the issue(s) is resolved.

Description
Response Time
"Severity 1 Error" means an error that:

causes the DataDoors API and / or access to Licensor or
Licensee Content to be unavailable, unusable, inoperative,
or seriously degraded resulting in (i) a total and sustained
disruption or service outage or (ii) severely impacted
usage
“Severity 2 Error” means an error that

causes minor issues with respect to the Licensor Content
(or access to it) which does not noticeably impact End

Target Resolution
Time
No later than two
(2) hours after
notification
No later than
twenty four (24)
hours after
notification
Note: The time either Party first notifies the other of the incident shall be the starting time for the incident Response Time
window.
Licensee and i-cubed will maintain an escalation process to aid in problem resolution should any outstanding incidents warrant,
either because either Party has not responded to an incident within the parameters set forth in this agreement, or the length or
severity of the outage warrant. i-cubed and Licensee will exchange escalation procedures and contact lists. These lists will be
routinely maintained, updated, and republished as changes warrant.
5.
Monitoring:
i-cubed shall monitor performance of the systems from both inside and outside of the i-cubed network to ensure performance
against the Service Levels. All uptime will be measured based on a five (5) minute monitoring period against specific service
endpoints. For each monitoring period, a downtime outage shall only be considered a legitimate outage when two (2) or more
consecutive outage events have been detected and in this case, at least five (5) minutes of downtime shall be registered. For
clarification, a single detected outage event, which is not followed immediately by a subsequent outage event on the same
monitored service endpoint, will not be counted as downtime.
6.
Downtime Credits
If i-cubed fails to attain a guaranteed Service Level in any given calendar month, i-cubed will discount the next payable Fees
payable to i-cubed by the Downtime Credit corresponding to the percentage of Uptime achieved for such month. A “Downtime
Credit” means an amount determined by multiplying the specified percentage in Table A, below, by the monthly amount that
the Licensee would have paid if the then-current monthly Fees were payable in equal monthly installments. Claim for
downtime credit is the responsibility of the customer and must be claimed in the month following the month in which the
downtime incident occurred.
