h. Customer's or any third party's use of the Subscription Services in an unauthorized or unlawful manner.

Remedies for Excessive Downtime:

In the event the Availability of the Subscription Services falls below the Availability SLA in a given calendar month, Accela will pay Customer a service credit ("Service Credit") equal to the percentage of the fees set forth in the table below corresponding to the actual Availability of the Subscription Services during the applicable calendar month. Such Service Credit will be issued as a credit against any fees owed by Customer for the next calendar month of the Subscription Period or, if Customer does not owe any additional fees, then Accela will pay Customer the amount of the applicable Service Credit within thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar month in which such credit accrued. Such Service Credit will be in addition to any other remedies available to Customer at law, in equity or under this Agreement.

System availability is measured by the following formula: x = (n - y) *100 / n Notes:
(1) "x" is the uptime percentage; "n" is the total number of hours in the given calendar month minus scheduled downtime; and "y" is the total number of downtime hours in the given calendar month. (2)Specifically excluded from "n and "y" in this calculation are the exception times on scheduled upgrade and maintenance windows.

Service Availability Percentage of Monthly Service Fees Credited >99.5% 0%

95.0% -< 99.5% 5% (max of $280)

90.0% -< 95.0% 10% (max of $560)

80.0% -< 90.0% 20% (max $840)

70.0% -< 80.0% 30% (max of $1,120)

60.0% -< 70.0% 40% (max of $1,400)
< 50% 50% (max of $2,800)
Customer Account Login:

For Accela user interface access, Accela uses TLS 1.2 with AES 256 bit or similar encryption for protection of data in transit, which is supported by most modern browsers. Accela will also restrict applicable administrative user interface access to Customer corporate networks for additional security on written request by Customer.

Hosting:

Accela's Saas platform (servers, infrastructure and storage) for the Subscription Services is and will remain hosted in one of the largest Tier III data centers in North America, specifically designed and constructed to deliver world-class physical security, power availability, infrastructure flexibility and growth capacity. Accela's data center provider is and will remain SSAE 16/ 18 SOC2 compliant, meaning it has been fully independently audited to verify the validity and functionality of its control activities and processes. Every Server for the Services is and will remain operated in a fully redundant fail-over pair to ensure high availability. Data is and will remain backed up nightly, stored redundantly and will be restored rapidly in case of failure. Accela also provides an off-site backup service, which is available at an additional cost. Security Patching and updates are actively evaluated by engineers and will be deployed based upon the security risks 1 3
