("Frontier"). The terms of this SLA apply exclusively to the Ethernet network elements directly within Frontier's management responsibility and control ("EVPUDIA Service," or where specifically designated "EVPL Service"). 1. Operational Objectives a. On Time Provisioning: The objective for On -Time Provisioning for On -Net Services, where available, (specifically, qualified Tampa operating area) is determined from (a) the date the order is submitted and approved into the Frontier ordering system (by Frontier) to (b) successful testing by Frontier, within 30 calendar days. Customer must contact Frontier's dedicated phone number (1-800-921-8002) within 30 days of objective target date. If Frontier's failure to meet the On Time Provisioning objective is validated, Customer will receive a one month MRC credit (taxes, fees and surcharges are excluded). The Customer credit will appear within two (2) billing cycles from the time of credit validation. The On -Time Provisioning objective excludes bandwidths of 1G to 100G On -Net Service or Customer requested non-standard bandwidth speeds. The On -Time Provisioning credit is also subject to Sections 3 and 4 below, as applicable. Customer is required to provide (i) suitable building facilities (including but not limited to space, circuitry, power, backup power, and surge protectors) for the installation, operation, and maintenance of Frontier's Network in accordance with manufacturer's documentation and Frontier's installation standards, and (ii) a well -lighted and safe working area that complies with all local safety standards and regulations. b. Circuit Availability: Circuit Availability is the ability to exchange data packets with the nearest Frontier Internet Point of Presence ("POP") or DIA Customer egress port (Z location) via the ingress port (A location). "Service Outage" occurs when packet transport is unavailable or when the output signal is outside the limits of this service guarantee. Availability is measured by the number of minutes during a calendar month that the On -Net Service is operational, divided by the total minutes in that calendar month. Calculation is based on the stop -clock method beginning at the date and time of the Customer -initiated trouble ticket and ends when Frontier restores SLA -compliant circ(rit operation. Frontier's On -Net Service Availability commitment and applicable Service credit are outlined in Table 1A, subject to Sections 3 and 4 below. Circuit Availability (CA) MRC Service Credit Availability 99.99% Below 99.99% Service Credit 30% MRC c. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR): MTTR is a monthly calculation of the average duration of time between Trouble Ticket initiation (in accordance with Section 2B) and Frontier's reinstatement of the DIA Service to meet the Availability performance objective. The MTTR objectives, and credits applicable to a failure to meet such objectives, are outlined in Table 1B, subject to Sections 3 and 4 below. 2. Service Outage Reporting Procedure. Mean Time To Re • air MRC Service Credit MTTR 4 Hours 25 % MRC above 4 hrs 50% MRC above 6 hrs. a. Frontier will maintain a point -of -contact for Customer to report a Service Outage, twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. b. When EVPUDIA Service is impacted from a Service Outage, Customer must contact Frontier's commercial customer support center (also known as the "NOC") at 1-(888) 637-9620 to identify the Service Outage and initiate an investigation of the cause (Trouble Ticket"). Responsibility for Trouble Ticket initiation rests solely with Customer. Once the Trouble Ticket has been opened, the appropriate Frontier departments will initiate diagnostic testing and isolation activities to determine the source. In the event of a Service Outage, Frontier and Customer will cooperate to restore the Service. If the cause of a Service Outage is a failure of Frontier's equipment or facilities, Frontier will be responsible for the repair. If the degradation is caused by a factor outside the control of Frontier, Frontier will cooperate with Customer to conduct testing and repair activities at Customer's cost and at Frontier's, then current, standard technician rates. c. A Service Outage begins when a Trouble Ticket is initiated and ends when the affected EVPUDIA Service is Available; provided that if the Customer reports a problem with a Service but declines to allow Frontier access for testing and repair, the Service will be considered to be impaired, but will not be deemed a Service Outage subject to these terms. d. If Frontier dispatches a field technician to perform diagnostic troubleshooting and the failure was caused by the acts or omissions of Customer or its employees, affiliates, contractors, agents, representatives or invitees; then Customer will pay Frontier for all related time and material costs at Frontier's standard rates.

Credit Request and Eligibility. a. In the event of a Service Outage, Customer may be entitled to a credit against the applicable On -Net Service MRC if (i) Customer initiated a Trouble Ticket; (ii) the Service Outage was caused by a failure of Frontiers equipment, facilities or personnel; (iii) the Service Outage warrants a credit based on the terms of Section 1; and (iv) Customer requests the credit within thirty (30) days of last day of the calendar month in which the Service Outage occurred. b. Credits do not apply to Service Outages caused, in whole or in part, by one or more of the following: (i) the acts or omissions of Customer or its employees, affiliates, contractors, agents, representatives or invitees; (ii) failure of power, (iii) the failure or malfunction of non -Frontier equipment or systems; (iv) circumstances or causes beyond the control of Frontier or its representatives; (v) a Planned Service Interruption; (vi) Emergency Maintenance or (vii) interruptions resulting form Force Majeure events as defined in Customer's FSA. In addition, Customer will not be issued credits for a Service Outage during any period in which Frontier is not provided with access to the Service location or any Frontier network element, or while Customer is testing and/or verifying that the problem has been resolved. "Planned Service Interruption" means any Service Outage caused by scheduled maintenance, planned enhancements or upgrades to the Frontier network; provided that Frontier will endeavor to provide at least five (5) business days' notice prior to any such activity if it will impact the Services provided to Customer. "Emergency Maintenance" means maintenance which, if not performed promptly, could result in a serious degradation or loss of service over the Frontier network. c. Except for the On -Time Provisioning credit (if applicable), all credit allowances will be limited to maximum of 50% of the MRC for the impacted EVPUDIA Service, per month. For cascading failures, only the primary or causal failure is used in determining Service Outage and associated consequences. Only one service level component metric can be used for determining credits for a Service Outage. In the event of the failure of the Service to meet multiple metrics in a one-month period, the highest Service credit will apply, not the sum of multiple Service credits. For example, If Customer's Service Outage triggers both operational objectives (i.e. Circuit Availability and Mean Time to Repair), Customer will receive the highest available Service Credit, but not both. d. This SLA guarantees service performance of Fro'ntier's Ethernet data services only. This SLA does not cover TDM services [DS1, NxDS1, or DS3 services] or other voice or data services provided by Frontier. This SLA does not apply to services provided over third party non - partner facilities, through a carrier hotel, or over Frontier facilities which terminate through a meet point circuit with a third party non -partner carrier. e. The final determination of whether Frontier has or has not met SLA metrics will be based on Frontier's methodology for assessment of compliant performance. Service Outage credits are calculated based on the duration of the Service Outage, regardless of whether such Service Outage is the result of failure of the Service to meet one or more performance metric. f. Credit allowances, if any, will be deducted from the charges payable by Customer hereunder and will be expressly indicated on a subsequent bill to Customer. Credits provided pursuant to this SLA shall be Customer's sole remedy with regard to Service Outages. 4. Chronic Outage: An individual EVPUDIA Service qualifies for "Chronic Outage" status if such service fails to meet the Availability objectives, and one or more of the following: (a) a single Trouble Ticket extends for longer than 24 hours, (b) more than 3 Trouble Tickets extend for more than 8 hours, during a rolling 6 month period, or (c) 15 separate Trouble Tickets of any duration within a calendar month. If an EVPUDIA Service reaches Chronic Outage status, then Customer may terminate the affected EVPUDIA Service without penalty; provided that Customer must exercise such right within ten (10) days of the EVPUDIA Service reaching Chronic Outage status and provide a minimum of 15 days prior written notice to Frontier of the intent to exercise such termination right.
