EXHIBIT A

Support and Service Level Availability

Service Availability Commitment. During the Term of this Agreement, the Services will be available no less than 99.5% of the total number of minutes within a calendar month (the “Monthly System Availability Commitment”). The achievement of System Availability Commitment excludes the following: (i) any scheduled maintenance, including without limitation scheduled maintenance communicated to Customer in writing at least four (4) business days in advance; (ii) any unavailability due to any force majeure event as set forth in the Agreement; (iii) any problem resulting from Customer using the Services in conjunction with any hardware or software not provided by Smart; (iv) any interruption or unavailability resulting from Customer’s use of the Services in an improper, unauthorized or unlawful manner; (vi) any problem resulting from Customer’s or any third party’s acts, errors or omissions or any software and/or systems not provided by Smart; and (vii) any interruption resulting from disconnection or suspension of the Services for nonpayment in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Agreement. Smart will track compliance with the Monthly System Availability Commitment on a monthly basis and will provide Customer with a report on request.

Scheduled Maintenance, Unscheduled Maintenance, and Background Jobs. Smart may have weekly or bi-weekly scheduled maintenance period on Saturdays between 6 AM ET to noon ET to perform system maintenance, backup, and upgrade functions for the Services. If scheduled maintenance is required outside of this maintenance period, Smart will notify Customer at least four (4) business days in advance.  In addition, the SIO application will be unavailable during period beginning background task computation jobs.  These computation jobs are typically scheduled once monthly or weekly outside of normal business hours and can take several hours to complete. In the event unscheduled maintenance may be required to resolve issues that are critical for performance of the Services, Smart will notify Customer as soon as practicable under the circumstances regarding any unscheduled maintenance. All scheduled and unscheduled maintenance notifications are logged and communicated to Customer electronically in writing via the Services.

System Availability Credit. Any request for a credit must be made in writing by the Customer. Smart shall issue a credit to Customer for failure to meet the Monthly System Availability Commitment within thirty (30) days following receipt of written request. The credit is 10% of the Subscription Fee divided by twelve (12) for the month of the failure (the “System Availability Credit”).

Support. During the entire Term of this Agreement, Smart personnel will provide no-charge email, telephone, and web-conference based support for critical and how to issues regarding user operation. To initiate a support request, and email must be sent to our support ticket system at support@smartcorp.com.com.  Telephone calls may be placed to 617-489-2743 or toll free at 800-SMART-99. Our customer support portal is:  support.smartcorp.com.  Users may visit the portal to enter a ticket, search for answers in our knowledge base, or enter feature requests.

Software enhancements, upgrades, and fixes are provided during scheduled downtime for no additional charge and are automatically deployed.  Two weeks prior to releasing an upgrade, Smart Software will provide a parallel environment containing the to be upgraded version to allow users to familiarize themselves with the new version before release.  Once the upgrade is deployed to your production system, the parallel environment will be disabled until two weeks prior to the next upgrade.

Phone and web-conference support will be provided during the hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm ET from Monday through Friday excluding United States holidays. All submitted support requests will be followed up by a support personnel response within 4 hours during normal business hours.  However, Smart will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to support requests immediately.  All efforts will be made to respond quickly during off hours but no response is guaranteed until the next business day.
