MSN SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT -3-
1 Introduction
1.1 Objective
The purpose of this document is to detail the service availability requirements,
operational standards, required escalation path, and content availability for
MSN Channel Partner Properties and Services.
2 Service availability
2.1 Definition
Service availability is defined as the percentage of uptime (out of 100%) for a
particular property or service. Uptime is defined as a service or property
performing with adequate response times, being free of content defects, and
allowing services to be utilized per product specifications.
2.2 Availability goals
The objective for the Properties and Services is to establish a record of
service availability, averaged over a monthly basis, of 99.5% for calendar month
(the "service availability"), subject to the exceptions listed under
"Availability exceptions". This objective permits sites to be unavailable a
maximum of 7.2 minutes per day, 50.4 minutes per week, or ~ 216 minutes per
calendar month. The purpose of this metric is to establish a baseline objective
that meets the parties' expectations.
In the event of any material deviation from the service availability objective,
The Partner shall take the steps described below under "Technical support and
problem escalation" to restore the level of service for the Properties or
Services to a fully operational condition.
In the event the Partner is not able to maintain the service availability
objective of 99.5%, then Microsoft shall take the appropriate steps to remedy
the situation. If applicable, penalties may apply.
2.3 Measurement
Microsoft will monitor the availability of the Services using appropriate
measurement tools. Service availability will be measured through third party
systems as well as Microsoft proprietary systems.
Microsoft will use third-party, industry-standard systems, such as Keynote, as
well as internal Microsoft tools, such as Sitescope, developed by Freshwater
Software, to measure and monitor quality of service. Microsoft uses Sitescope to
measure availability of its own sites, including the MSN network. Measurements
taken at border routers of the MSN data center will be used for calculating
service levels. Availability data from the point of view of the end user is also
collected, but this is for informational purposes only and not to be used for
establishing service availability. MSN test teams may also perform verification
of service availability.
2.3.1 Sites to be monitored
The Partner Services listed below will be sampled at two (2) minute intervals.
The URLs listed should be a relative sampling of main domain and content feed
URLs that will reflect overall health of the service.

2.4 Availability exceptions
2.4.1 Uncontrollable events
Unlike traditional service organizations that provide service level agreements,
Internet services like the Properties and Services are routinely impacted by
events that the Partner has no control over and which events may negatively
impact the service availability. Accordingly, the occurrence of any one of the
following events shall constitute an exception to the Partner's obligation to
meet the service availability objective specified above:
1. An outage of services that is due to the failure or non-performance of
any equipment, connections, or services that are not under the direct
control or supervision of the Partner; such services include
peer-to-peer Internet service provider routing, third-party datacenter
failure, etc.
2. An outage of services caused by a third party not under the direct
control or supervision of the Partner, including, but not limited to,
the Partner or its employees, contractors, or subcontractors.
3. An outage of services caused by an event that is beyond the reasonable
control of the Partner (e.g., acts of God, acts of any government in
its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, snowstorms,
earthquakes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, wars, riots,
rebellions, insurrections or civil unrest, strikes or other work
stoppages, hacker attacks such as "denial of service").
2.4.2 Planned downtime
An outage caused by scheduled and agreed-upon routine or preventive maintenance,
unless such maintenance is performed outside of the specified time that has been
mutually agreed to by the Parties, shall constitute an exception to the
Partner's obligation to meet the service availability objective specified above.
Such incidences require written notification to Microsoft of no less than 10
working days prior to the outage. The outage notification should detail work to
be done, the date and time for maintenance to be performed, expected length of
downtime, and contingency plan details, along with trigger points for when the
contingency plan will be applied. Should the downtime exceed the length provided
in the notification, this will be counted as non-planned downtime and will be
deducted from site availability for the calendar month. The Partner shall
attempt to perform such routine or preventative maintenance during times that
will minimize impact to end-users.
3 Operational standards
3.1 System management/operational support
Partner operations will maintain a high degree of operational support. The
services that comprise operational support include monitoring the software that
provides the Properties and Services, managing the computers that run that
software, and managing the key infrastructure pieces such as the networking
architecture and internet connectivity that are required to allow customers to
reach and utilize the Properties and Services.
MSN SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT -5-
3.2 Platform compatibility
Partner Properties and Services shall meet the operating system and browser
support requirements of MSN, detailed below. These requirements are subject to
change as new software becomes available.

4 Technical support and problem escalation
4.1 Overview
This section describes the Partner's process for handling technical support
requests. The process is comprised of two key elements:
1. Priorities and response times (section 4.2), including level
definitions and assignment
2. Escalation procedures (section 4.3)
The Partner shall cooperate with Microsoft in order to facilitate the Partner's
provision of the Properties and Services on a continuous basis. For example (and
by way of illustration and not limitation), Microsoft shall:
1. Promptly notify the Partner (as described below) when it believes that
a problem requiring technical support has arisen.
2. Cooperate with the Partner with respect to troubleshooting and/or
resolution of the problem.
3. Furnish the Partner with such relevant information as the Partner may
reasonably require in order to provide technical support.
MSN SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT -6-
4.2 Priorities and response times
With Microsoft's input, the Partner will assign each technical support request a
priority level based upon the criteria listed below.
If the Partner discovers problems of immediate or high priority, the Partner
will notify MSN Channel Alert (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, cc:
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) as soon as possible using commercially reasonable
efforts. See the appendix for additional contact information.

. Request for new information service that is not part of a
current service.
. Request for a new report type or report format.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a resolution goal is not met, an advisory will be provided to Microsoft's
contact point. In "Immediate" priority situations where resolution goals are not
met, the Partner will provide contact information to extend the escalation path
up through executive management.
4.2.1.1 Definitions
4.2.1.1.1 Initial response
Initial response is defined as the first contact provided to
Microsoft after the Authorized Microsoft Representative has submitted
a service request through the above-mentioned escalation procedure.
This response may be in the form of an email message, instant
message, phone call, or personal acknowledgement and will normally
contain the service request number for tracking purposes. Initial
response should be directed to MSN Channel Alert
(▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, cc: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇). See appendix for
additional contact information.
4.2.1.1.2 Update interval
The update interval is defined as any communication between the
Partner support or product team and Microsoft where the status and
plan of action for the service request is communicated. The purpose
of these updates is to keep Microsoft informed of the progress being
made to resolve the problem reported through the service request, to
gather additional details for support or troubleshooting purposes, or
to communicate a resolution of the problem to Microsoft.
4.2.1.1.3 Resolution goal
The resolution goal is defined as the time period within which
problem resolution should be attained.
4.3 Escalation procedures
In the event that Microsoft discovers a problem with any of the Properties and
Services, the following procedures should be followed for problem resolution and
call escalation.
4.3.1 Authorized personnel
Microsoft shall provide Partner with a list of authorized personnel (the
"Authorized Microsoft Representative(s)") who are authorized to contact the
Partner, which person(s) shall have the technical capability and authority to
make appropriate decisions with respect to matters involving
MSN SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT -8-
the Partner. Microsoft shall be responsible for providing the Partner with
updated information, as necessary, regarding such authorized personnel. The
Partner shall have no obligation to take any action based upon a report from any
person purporting to represent Microsoft unless such person is an Authorized
Microsoft Representative and can provide sufficient information (e.g., password)
to verify his or her identity. See appendix for additional contact information.
4.3.2 Required escalation information
In order to minimize confusion, maintain security, and streamline the
communications between Microsoft and the Partner, when reporting a new problem
or following up on an existing problem, the Microsoft Authorized Representative
shall provide the Partner contact with the following information:
1. The company name and particular service(s) that is (are) experiencing a
problem
2. The name of Authorized Microsoft Representative who is making the report
3. The pre-arranged, mutually-greed-upon password (initially "xxxxxx") for
verification
4. An E-mail notification address or alias to facilitate communication
5. All relevant detail information regarding the problem
6. Other pertinent contact information, which shall include but not be
limited to, a telephone number and/or pager number for the Authorized
Microsoft Representative.
4.3.3 Escalation response
In response to a problem escalation, the Partner representative will:
1. Provide the Authorized Microsoft Representative with a problem tracking
number.
2. Work through the Partner-established escalation process to facilitate
timely resolution of the problem, per "Priority and response time" grid,
above.
3. Provide the Authorized Microsoft Representative with updated information
specific to the problem, per "Priority and response time" grid, above.
It should be understood that the Authorized Microsoft Representative does not
have the authority to instruct the Partner to perform any direct action
concerning any equipment, software or network that constitute the Partner
Service.
4.3.4 Issue tracking
The Partner should reference the problem tracking number in all related
communications.
4.3.5 Actions upon closure
Upon issue closure, the Partner shall submit the issue back to MSN Channel Alert
(▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, cc:▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) for verification. The problem
should not be considered closed until the fix has been verified.

5 Content availability
5.1 Content drops
Content drops will occur on a regular schedule as agreed to by MSN and the
Partner. Mail should be sent immediately after a drop is completed. If a drop is
going to be late, notification of the circumstances and estimated delay should
also be sent via mail to the same people. This drop will include all links and
correct URLs, graphics, and other appropriate information as listed in the
monthly editorial calendars. Please follow the image guidelines and test
guidelines appropriately.
5.2 Day-to-day activities
MSN Channels continually checks sites for appropriate updates and links. If
there is a problem with a partner site, the appropriate site will be notified
and the escalation path put into effect. Additional problems with content can
range from incorrect URL's, to graphics and layout issues, to missing pages. See
section 4.0 for Technical Support and Problem Escalation.
Daily promotions help drive traffic to partner sites. Each day the ▇▇▇.▇▇▇ home
page team asks for themes and links that have to do with current events or
popular topic areas. This requires links from partner sites to be turned around
in a short period of time. Mail is sent out a week in advance with themes, and
day-to-day new themes are introduced. In the case of advance theme mail, links
should be returned no later than a day ahead of the planned theme. In the case
of a last minute daily theme, links should be returned by noon PST.
5.3 Escalation process
See Technical Support and Problem Escalation section, above. Most
content-related issues will fall under "Normal" priority.
5.4 Scheduling
5.4.1 Editorial calendars
Editorial calendars are due on the 9/th/ of the month. This should reflect all
content that will be live, and any content that will be available for a limited
amount of time, for the following month. Promotional opportunities and special
events should be called out in red. URLs for all content should be available,
and in the case where something is not live, a live date should be included. All
URLs should be scrubbed and ready to go or should include live dates.
Each calendar should represent one month only. All editorial calendar URLs
should reflect the MSN address: for example: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇. No changes to the
calendar will be accepted after the deadline 9/th/ of the month, due to the
dependencies of promotional submissions.
