The following terms and conditions ( Product Terms ) apply in addition to those in the General Terms and Conditions (Schedule A) (GTC/GTC s) where, pursuant to an accepted End User Order, the Partner orders the Hybrid Cloud IT service as further defined and set out in these Product Terms (the Service ). 1. Additional Definitions Availability is a measurement of the amount of time during a specified period that the Service has operated without Service Loss. Connectivity Service has the meaning defined in Paragraph 2.1.2 of this Annex. Critical Fault is any Fault that results in a critical service component becoming unusable or inaccessible and where no workaround exists that does not have a significant detrimental effect on user productivity. Critical Service Component is a software component that forms part of the Service access to which is deemed to be critical to the effective and efficient use of the Service. The Critical Service Components are (a) access to the Internet, (b) access to files that you are authorised to access and that are stored on the Easynet Hybrid Cloud Solution, (c) access to your email to send and receive messages (if Exchange is hosted as part of the Easynet Hybrid Cloud Solution), (d) User authentication and (e) remote access through a VPN connection (if subscribed). Customer, you and your are terms that are used when referring to the company or organisation that will actively use the Service on its premises. Disaster is an event that renders the Service unusable and inaccessible either (a) indefinitely (as a result of destructive event), or (b) for a limited period known to be in excess of 5 working days (as a result of an event that renders it unusable even if not completely destroyed). Examples of events that would be considered to be a Disaster would include natural disasters such as floods, fires, equipment theft and catastrophic hardware failure (such as file system corruption, multiple hard disk failures and virtual machine corruption). Easynet Hybrid Cloud IT Solution is the pre-configured solution deployed on your premises that comprises both the Zynstra Hybrid Cloud Software and a server computer (or cluster of server computers for certain Service Editions). End User means an end user of the Service that has been purchased by the End Customer. EULT means the licence terms notified by Supplier of any software incorporated into or supplied with the Services, including without limitation the Microsoft Licence terms which are available on the Portal. Fault is deemed to have occurred if any component of the Service consistently fails to operate as we would expect it to operate at any time other than during the Scheduled Maintenance Window. Faults would be most likely to have occurred as a result of a software defect, a hardware component failure or an Internet connection failure. Minimum Term of each Subscription shall be 12 months from the Service commencement date and, unless terminated by either Party giving 90 days written notice, shall automatically renew for a further 12 month period. Normal Office Hours are the period of time that starts at 0900 and ends at 1730 on weekdays excluding weekdays that are public holidays in the country in which your premises are located.

In the event of a termination of the Agreement in respect of the Service for any reason, End Customer shall return the Servers and Software to Supplier or Zynstra (as Supplier shall reasonably direct) within 21 days of the Service termination date. 4. Availability Availability of the Critical Service Components is checked automatically by the Easynet Hybrid Cloud Solution every five minutes, every hour of the day and every day of the year and is published to you on a monthly basis. The sole periods of time when you should expect to experience a Service Loss are within the Scheduled Maintenance Window. Any Service Loss that occurs during the Scheduled Maintenance Window is excluded when determining the achieved Availability. There are two planned BMI MSA Hybrid Cloud IT Service 08.10.2014 v1.0 Page 6 of 9
Service Losses that occur during this window: (a) a loss of no more than three minutes each night when the backup process is initiated, and (b) a loss which is typically a few minutes but can be longer in certain circumstances during the application of periodic patches and upgrades which occur no more often than weekly. Service Loss during the Scheduled Maintenance Window is excluded when calculating Availability achievement as is any loss that is the result of force majeure; that is, circumstances beyond our reasonable control. The measurement of Service Loss outside the Scheduled Maintenance Window starts when you first notice the service interruption and report it to us or when we detect the issue ourselves and our support team has been notified of this, if earlier. It ends when it has been demonstrated to your full satisfaction that the Service is available again. The Availability achievement target varies by Service Edition as different Service Editions are designed to achieve different levels of reliability and resilience: Service Edition Service Credits are offered for the Professional Service Edition if Availability achievement over a period of three calendar months falls below the target specified above provided that the Service Provider has fulfilled the timescale obligations on them that are identified in the Fault Resolution Service Level Agreement. 5. Disaster Recovery Target Availability Disaster recovery is the process of restoring the Service to its normal operating state following a Disaster. The Service will be recovered on alternative premises if your premises are no longer usable or accessible. Disaster recovery performance is assessed based on a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) (the maximum allowable period of time for which any data that has been created or changed in that period may be lost as a result of a Disaster) and a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) (the maximum time that it should take to restore the Service in full to its state no earlier than the time defined as the RPO). RTO performance is divided into two stages: Service Credits Group 99.00 % Not applicable Professional 99.5 % One hour of Service Credit for each hour of service loss in excess of the target Essential: The maximum time to restore essential features of the Service, these being (a) sending and receiving emails and accessing emails sent or received in the last 5 working days, and (b) working on documents created or modified in the last 5 working days. Full: The maximum time that it should take to restore the Service in full including all emails and documents up to a point in time no earlier than the RPO. BMI MSA Hybrid Cloud IT Service 08.10.2014 v1.0 Page 7 of 9
Service Edition RPO 1.WD means working days and represents the number of full working days required to restore the Service following your report of the disaster to your MSP. 2.Achievement of RTO (Full) assumes that the internet connection at any alternative premises occupied following the disaster will not be inferior to that on the original premises. If the need for a new Service following the disaster is temporary (that is, the original premises will be occupied again at some point), the internet connection at the alternative premises will not be upgraded if it is of an inferior specification and the hardware installed may not have the same degree of resilience as installed on the original premises. Both will become as per the original specification once RTO (Essential) has been achieved if the alternative premises are to become permanent. Service Credits are offered for the Professional Service Edition by Easynet if essential RTO achievement in relation to a single disaster falls below the target above. 6. Fault Resolution Fault resolution is the process of restoring the Service to its normal operating state following the occurrence of a Critical Fault. Fault resolution process effectiveness is assessed on the basis of (a) response time (the time to acknowledge any issue you report that is subsequently determined through analysis to have been caused by a Critical Fault) and (b) resolution time (the time taken to resolve a Critical Fault and return the Service to its normal operating state measured from the time at which you first reported the issue to Easynet). 6.1. For Software Faults RTO (Essential) 6.2. For Hardware Component Failures RTO (Full) Service Credits Group 48 hours 5 wd 1 10 wd 1,2 Not applicable Professional 36 hours 2 wd 1 5 wd 1,2 1 day of Service Credit for each full working day beyond the essential RTO Service Edition Response Time Resolution Time Group 4 wh 1 End of Normal Office Hours on the next wd 2 Service Credits Not applicable Professional 2 wh 1 4 wh 1 1 hour of service credit for each full working hour beyond the resolution time target BMI MSA Hybrid Cloud IT Service 08.10.2014 v1.0 Page 8 of 9
Service Edition Response Time Resolution Time Group 4 wh 1 End of Normal Office Hours on the next wd 2 Professional 2 wh 1 End of Normal Office Hours on the next wd 2 Service Credits Not applicable 1 hour of service credit for each full working hour beyond the resolution time target 1.WH means working hours and represents the number of hours taken to respond based on a measurement which accounts for Normal Office Hours only and which may therefore extend into the next working day. 2.WD means working days and represents the number of full working days required to reinstate the Service. It is our target that Critical Faults will be resolved by the end of Normal Office Hours on the day following the initial report of the issue. Critical Faults may be corrected using a replacement component, a permanent workaround that does not degrade functionality or productivity, a patch or a new release. Critical Faults whose root case lies in the Easynet Hybrid Cloud Software shall be rectified within the target resolution times above by either (a) restarting solution components, (b) adjusting the configuration of the solution or (c) implementing a work-around to the Software Fault. The correction, testing and release of the underlying software in which the Software Fault exists shall not be performed within the target resolution times above as this would be create material risk for the Customer. Software corrections will be applied as part of a future software patch or release. The achievement of the targets above shall be entirely dependent on the accurate and responsive communication of issues to Easynet from the customer. For the above targets to apply and for service credits to be applicable to a particular issue that is determined to be a Critical Fault, the customer shall report the issue to Easynet within one working hour of its receipt.
