We shall defend you against such claim if you reasonably cooperate with us and allow us to control the defense and all related settlement negotiations, and then we shall indemnify you from and against any damages finally awarded for such infringement or settlements entered into by us on your behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall have no liability, and shall have no obligation to defend or indemnify you, for any third party claim of infringement based upon (i) use of other than the then current, unaltered version of the applicable Services, unless the infringing portion is also in the then current, unaltered release; (ii) use, operation or combination of the applicable Services with non-MindTouch programs, data, equipment or documentation if such infringement would have been avoided but for such use, operation or combination; or (iii) any third party software; provided, that MindTouch will pass through to you any indemnification received from the owner of such third party software.

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FEES THAT WE CHARGE FOR THE SERVICES ARE BASED UPON OUR EXPECTATION THAT THE RISK OF ANY LOSS OR INJURY THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE BORNE BY YOU AND NOT US AND WERE WE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN, SUCH FEES WOULD OF NECESSITY BE SET SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER.

3. Services Availability

MindTouch will provide a 99.5% up time for the Services, excluding scheduled maintenance time and Extraordinary Circumstances (“Availability”). The Services are “Unavailable” when Severity Level 1 incident occurs.

Compliance with the Availability level and calculation of Outages (as defined below) will be measured on a rolling average of the previous 31 days. If the Services are Unavailable, an “Outage” corresponding to such incident will be measured from the time of the beginning of Unavailability until the Services are fully restored.

4. Availability Report.

MindTouch will provide Customer with an automated report of actual Services Availability, Response Time and Average Load Time every 31 days that includes a rolling average of the applicable Subscription Period. The report is available at http://status.mindtouch.us.

5. Service Credit.

In the event that we fail to meet the Availability in any month, we will credit to you an amount (“Availability Credit”) equal to the prorated fees for a period of time that varies according to the actual Availability achieved of the Services for that month, as follows:

Table 2 – Service Credit

Outage Duration	Service Credit
At least 99.0% but less than 99.5%	One (1) Day
At least 98.5% but less than 99.0%	Three (3) Days
At least 98.0% but less than 98.5%	Seven (7) Days
Less than 98.0%	Fifteen (15) Days

7. Severity Levels

When Customer notifies MindTouch that Customer or its End Users detect an error in the Services or MindTouch identifies an error in the Services, MindTouch will investigate the error according to the Severity Levels set forth in Section 7 and the corresponding Response Times set forth in Section 2.

MindTouch will coordinate all error isolation, testing and repair work for the Services. Severity Levels will be determined by MindTouch. During the error isolation and troubleshooting process, MindTouch will communicate error resolution progress with Customer and escalate its problem resolution efforts based upon the times specified in Section 8. MindTouch will provide status updates as described below, which updates will include the following information:

Services features or functionality that are affected.
Current status of repair.
Estimated time of repair.
Confirmation of repair.

Severity Level 1 (Critical):

A “Severity Level 1” is an error that renders the Services inoperable and Customer or End Users are unable to operate the Services. A Severity Level 1 issue is defined as a situation where Customer users are unable to access the MindTouch TCS site, and/or log in using local MindTouch authentication.

MindTouch will:

Immediately assign MindTouch personnel and commence work to correct the error
Provide on-going communication to Customer regarding the status of the correction and follow the escalation procedures set forth in this Schedule 1

Severity Level 2 (Major):

A “Severity Level 2” is an error that causes the Services to be partially inoperative and the inoperative portion of the Services severely restricts Customer’s or End Users’ use of the Services. Under a Severity Level 2 issue Customer users will be able to access the MindTouch TCS site, and log in using local MindTouch authentication.

MindTouch will:

Immediately assign MindTouch personnel to analyze the nature and implications of the error and commence work to correct the error
Provide on-going communication regarding the status of the correction

Severity Level 3 (Minor):
