Schedule 1

Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) for SmartService

All defined terms provided in the applicable Order Form and the T&Cs are incorporated into this SLA by this reference.

A. Acceptable Service Level. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services associated with the Account available to you with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.7% during each calendar month (the “Acceptable Service Level”) of the Term. In the event that we do not meet the Acceptable Service Level for a particular calendar month, Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Credit (defined below) as described in this SLA.

B. Monthly Uptime Percentage. As used in this SLA: (i) “Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the applicable calendar month in which the Service was in a state of Unavailability (defined below); and (ii) “Unavailability” means when all running instances of a Service within our control have no external connectivity for one (1) minute or longer and the lack of such connectively is not a result of or during Excluded Downtime (defined below). As applicable, the Services will be assumed to have been 100% available during any period of time that you did not have an Account or your Account was suspended.

C. Excluded Downtime. As used in this SLA, “Excluded Downtime” refers to Service downtime or performance issues: (i) that result from maintenance or updates of the Services or any of our networks or servicers used to provide the Services, but limited to no more than one (1) hour of such maintenance in a calendar month; (ii) that result from any maintenance or updates which you request and/or preapprove; (iii) that result from a suspension or termination of Services, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement; (iv) caused by an Uncontrollable Event (defined below); (v) that result from any actions or inaction of you or any third party; and/or (vi) that result from your use of the Product, third party equipment, Customer Equipment or other technology (other than third party equipment within our direct control). As used in this SLA, “Uncontrollable Event” refers to any of the following: circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, storms or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts of civil or military authority, war, terrorism (including cyber terrorism), labor disputes, strikes, acts or omissions of internet traffic carriers, internet service disruptions; utility failures, systemic electrical, telecommunications or other industrial disturbances, or actions or omissions of regulatory or governmental bodies (including the passage of laws or regulations or other acts of government that impact the delivery of Services).

D. Service Credits. Your exclusive remedy for all matters stemming from or relating to the Acceptable Service Level will be eligibility for Service Credits pursuant to this SLA. The Service Credits are based on the pro-rata Fees that Customer paid for the Services that failed to meet the Acceptable Service Level during the subject calendar month (“Paid Fees”). In each event that Service Credits are owed to Customer, the “Service Credit” will be an amount that is equal to the mathematical product of (i) Paid Fees multiplied by (ii) five (5) percent (5%).

E. Request for Service Credits. To receive Service Credits due to our failure to meet the Acceptable Service Level for a particular calendar month, Customer must notify us of the Customer’s eligibility for Service Credits by the 15th day of the following month. A notice must be sent by Customer and include: (i) the words “Service Credit Claim” in the subject line; (ii) a summary of the incident(s) of Unavailability and those Users which were impacted; and (iii) a copy of screen shots, logs and lists of dates and times, if any, to substantiate incidents of Unavailability. All notices must be made in good faith and you agree to provide us reasonable cooperation and assistance in our efforts to research the incidents and duration of reported Unavailability. If a failure to meet the Acceptable Service Level is confirmed by us following your notice, we will immediately issue you the eligible Service Credits. Absent manifest error, our internal records, logs and calculation of Monthly Uptime Percentage will be deemed accurate and conclusive.

F. Use of Service Credits. Issuance of Service Credits will not entitle Customer to a refund. Instead, issued Service Credits will be first applied and credited against Fees as they become due. If Customer’s Account is terminated before all Service Credits are exhausted, no refund will be issued.

G. Application. This SLA applies separately to each Account.
