EXHIBIT A

SERVICE LEVEL TERMS

The Services shall be available for access by User 99.5% of the time, measured monthly (calculated on the basis of a 24-hour day multiplied by the actual number of days in such month, which, for clarity, represents a total of 50 minutes of downtime per week), excluding scheduled maintenance and force majeure. Any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company’s control will also be excluded from any such calculation. User's sole and exclusive remedy, and Company's entire liability, in connection with Service availability shall be to terminate this agreement on a no-fault basis, provided, however, that where availability falls below 95% in any month (a “Shortfall Month”), User may instead elect to continue using the Services and receive a credit equal to half the monthly fee for each such Shortfall Month.

Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as User notifies Company that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored.  In order to receive downtime credit, User must notify Company in writing within 24 hours from the beginning of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit.  Such credits may not be redeemed for cash.  Company will only apply a credit to payment for the month in which the incident occurred.  Company’s blocking of data communications or other aspects of the Service in accordance with its policies or applicable laws shall not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.
