SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA)

1. Network Performance

1.1 Network Latency and Packet Loss


The average latency of the Vodafone network will not exceed 30 milliseconds round-trip, while
the average latency of Vodafone international links will not exceed 140 milliseconds round-trip,
also the average monthly Packet loss of the Vodafone network will not exceed 0.5 %.

1.2 Network Latency and Packet Loss Measurement

Network Latency defined as the average time in milliseconds, from a specific origin to a specific
destination within Vodafone MPLS network, under normal operating conditions and during a specific
period of a calendar month for a diagnostic packet to transit Vodafone Backbone Network and return.

International Transit Delay is defined as the average time in milliseconds, from a specific Vodafone
international gateway to first hob on the provider's international link, under normal operating
conditions, for a diagnostic packet to transit Vodafone international link and return.
.
For Packet delivery, an averaging sample measurement will be taken during a calendar month between
POPs. Each month’s network performance statistics related to delivery guarantees will be sent to the
“The Second Party” SPOC (Single Point Of Contract), and credits will be made if failure to meet a network
packet delivery exits. Vodafone will acknowledge related claims from “The Second Party” for any month
within a maximum period of 15 days from the beginning of the next month.

1.3 Remedies for Latency and Packet Loss

For any Latency or packet loss more than the defined values Vodafone will credit “The Second Party”
with 4% of the monthly fees.
All service credits will be calculated on monthly bases upon customer request, and a credit note for the
summation of the calculated value will be issued to the customer according to his billing cycle
(quarterly, bi yearly, …etc).

2. Service performance

2.1 Availability:
Vodafone managed Network Service guarantees the availability of Vodafone service of at least
99.9% Uptime.

2.2 Network Availability Measurement


Unavailability of the Vodafone network is measured over a calendar month and is based on a total
downtime incurred by “The Second Party”. Network Unavailability will exist when:
(i) “The Second Party” is unable to transmit and receive data and Vodafone records such failure
on a particular circuit in the (Trouble Ticket System) TTS.
(ii) Vodafone continuously records such a failure in its (Trouble Ticket System) TTS until
Vodafone confirms that the affected service is restored.
2.3 Remedies for Network Un-Availability

As a commitment from Vodafone to guarantee the above service levels, in the unlikely case of not
meeting such targets, Vodafone will credit “The Second Party” ’s account to compensate for the
service degradation unless it is due to misuse by “The Second Party” or any circumstances beyond
Vodafone control.

Monthly Network Availability Remedies as % of Monthly Fees


Less than 99.90 % equivalent to down time 5%
between 43 Min and 130 Min per month
Less than 99.70 % equivalent to down time 10 %
between 130 Min and 300 Min per month
Less than 99.30 % equivalent to down time more 20 %
than 300 Min per month

All service credits will be calculated on monthly bases upon customer request, and a credit note for the
summation of the calculated values will be issued to the customer according to his billing cycle
(quarterly, bi yearly, …etc).
