EXHIBIT A
3D CLOUD SLA
The 3D Cloud Service will, subject to the exceptions listed below, be available at least 99.9% of the time during any full calendar month in Customer’s production environment (“Availability Commitment”). The Availability Commitments do not apply to sandbox, beta and other test environments.
3D Cloud Service Levels. The following service levels apply to the following categories of Incidents (defined below) that may affect 3D Cloud or the operation of Client’s Branded 3D Application(s):
1. “Critical Impact Incidents” means a service error affecting the functionality of the 3D Cloud and the customers are unable to use Client’s Branded Template.
1.1. Response time: 30 minutes or less
1.2. Work around or temporary correction within 4 hours
1.3. Permanent correction within 1 business day
1.4. Service Level Credits: 10% of the 3D Cloud Fees for the month in which the Service Level Failure begins and 5% of such monthly 3D Cloud Fees for each additional business day that the corresponding Incident remains unresolved.
2. “High Impact Incidents” means functional errors in the Client’s Branded Template or system communication issues that materially impair the customers’ use of Client’s Branded Template.
2.1. Response time: 1 hour or less
2.2. Temporary correction within 24 hours
2.3. Permanent correction within 2 business days
2.4. Service Level Credits: 5% of the 3D Cloud Fees for the month in which the Service Level Failure begins and 1% of such monthly 3D Cloud Fees for each additional business day that the corresponding Incident remains unresolved.
3. “Low Impact Incidents” means minor functional errors that can be addressed with a work around or do not materially impair the use of Client’s Branded Template or requests for assistance, information or services that are routine in nature.
3.1. Response time: same business day
3.2. Permanent correction within 5 business days
3.3. Service Level Credits: 5% of the 3D Cloud Fees for the month in which the Service Level Failure begins and 1% of such monthly 3D Cloud Fees for each additional week that the corresponding Incident remains unresolved.
4. For purposes of the foregoing, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
4.1. “Incidents” means, collectively, Critical Impact Incidents, High Impact Incidents and Low Impact Incidents.
4.2. “Service Level Failure” means Marxent’s failure to permanently correct any Incident within the stated time above for permanent correction for the applicable Incident level.

Any Service Level Credit will be issued to Client in the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Incident occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any given month, the aggregate Service Level Credits shall not exceed 30% of the 3D Cloud Fees for such month. For purposes of determining whether an Incident has occurred, no Incident shall be deemed to have occurred, nor shall any Service Level Failure be deemed to have occurred, if any impairment is due, in whole or in part, to (a) scheduled downtime; (b) downtime or degradation due to a Force Majeure Event (as defined in the Agreement); (c) any other circumstances beyond Marxent’s reasonable control; or (d) any suspension or termination of Client’s or any Authorized Users’ access to or use of the 3D Cloud as permitted under the Agreement. In the event that a Service Level Failure (other than with respect to Low Impact Incidents) occurs in more than three (3) consecutive months during the term, Client may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to Marxent. This section sets forth Marxent’s sole obligation and liability to the Client for any and all Service Level Failures.
