EXHIBIT A
THETA LAKE ENTERPRISE SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT AGREEMENT
A. ENTERPRISE SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
1. Preamble
This Theta Lake Enterprise Service Level Agreement and Technical Support Agreement (“SLA”) is incorporated by reference into the Theta Lake, Inc. Enterprise Terms of Use (the “Agreement”) between Theta Lake, Inc. and Customer, and governs the provision of the Services by Theta Lake to Customer pursuant to the Agreement. Theta Lake will not modify the terms of Customer’s SLA during the initial term of Customer’s subscription; however, if Customer renews its subscription, then the version of this SLA that is current at the time of renewal will apply for Customer’s renewal term.
2. Definitions.
“Applicable Service Fees” means the total fees actually paid by Customer for the Services delivered during the month in which a Service Credit is owed (whether as an invoice for that month or as a pro-rata portion of an annual fee).
“Downtime” means the total minutes in a month during which the Services specified in the Theta Lake Order Form (“Order Form”) are unavailable, excluding (i) Scheduled Maintenance; (ii) Emergency Maintenance and (iii) unavailability of the Services due to limitations described in Section 5 Limitations below.
“Emergency Maintenance” means the total minutes during which the aspects of the Services specified in the Order Form are unavailable to apply urgent patches or fixes or undertake other urgent maintenance activities to maintain the Services availability. Theta Lake will contact Customer and provide the expected start time and the planned duration of the Emergency Maintenance and if Theta Lake expects the Service to be unavailable during the Emergency Maintenance period.
“Scheduled Maintenance” means the time in which maintenance will take place on network, hardware, or other Service maintenance or upgrades may be performed. Scheduled maintenance can occur up to three times monthly from the hours of midnight to 3:00 AM in the time zone of Customer’s data center.

“Service Credit” is the percentage of the Applicable Service Fees credited to Customer following Theta Lake’s claim approval.
“System Availability” means the number of minutes in a given month during which the Service specified in the Order Form are available.

3. Service Level Terms
Theta Lake warrants a 99.999% System Availability of Services as outlined in the Order Form contained within this Agreement, excluding Emergency Maintenance, Scheduled Maintenance, and as otherwise defined in Section 5 below.
System Availability Calculation:
If Theta Lake’s System Availability is less than 99.999%, and if Customer has fulfilled its obligations under the Agreement and this SLA, Theta Lake will provide Customer with a Service Credit for the month in which the failure to meet the System Availability has occurred. System Availability is calculated as follows:
The following equation shall apply: (A – B) / C = D; where the values equal:
A. Total number of minutes per calendar month
B. Downtime
C. Total number of minutes per calendar month, excluding Scheduled Maintenance, Emergency Maintenance, and unavailability based on the limitations described in Section 5 below
D. System Availability

4. Filing a Monthly Service Credit Claim.
If Theta Lake fails to meet the minimum monthly System Availability as described above, Customer may submit a claim for a Service Credit.
Customer must submit a claim to support@thetalake.com at Theta Lake that includes: (i) a detailed description of the Downtime; (ii) information regarding the duration of the Downtime; and (iii) descriptions of Customer’s attempts to resolve and/or notify Theta Lake of the Downtime at the time of occurrence. Theta Lake must receive the claim and all required information by the end of the calendar month following the month in which the Downtime occurred. For example, if the Incident occurred on February 15th, Theta Lake must receive the claim and all required information by March 31st.
Theta Lake will use its best efforts to process claims within forty-five (45) days of receipt. Customer must be in compliance with the Agreement in order to be eligible for a Service Credit. If Theta Lake determines that a Service Credit is owed to Customer, Theta Lake will issue such Service Credit.
If Customer purchased the Service from a Theta Lake Partner, as defined in the Enterprise Terms of Use, Customer will receive a service credit directly from the Theta Lake Partner and the Theta Lake Partner will receive a Service Credit directly from Theta Lake.
