RECITALS
WHEREAS, Host provides Hosting Services in various colo hosting facilities specializing in liquid immersion.
WHEREAS, liquid immersion hosting is a cutting edge technology designed to extend the life of devices through
controlled temperature cooling mechanisms.
WHEREAS, Customer seeks to utilize Host’s Host Services for Customer’s equipment (“Equipment”);
WHEREAS, Host represents that it shall make every good faith effort to ensure that its Host Services are available
with as little service interruption as possible.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises herein contained, and by proceeding
with Customer’s Order, the parties agree as follows:
1. HOST SERVICE OBLIGATIONS
1.1 Upon acceptance by Host of an Order for Host Services, Customer will ship Customer’s Equipment to Host at a
Host Facility to be specified by Host for the purpose of Host Services in a location determined by Host (hereinafter
“Customer Space”) in one of Host’s colo hosting facilities (“Host Facility” or “Host Facilities”), effective as of the
Service Commencement Date. The location of the Customer Space within a Host Facility shall be determined by
Host, in its sole discretion provided, however, Customer’s reasonable preferences identified to Host may be
considered. Customer is responsible for all shipping charges to and from Host Facilities.
1.2 Host shall use commercially reasonable efforts install Customer’s Equipment as soon as reasonably practical
after receipt of Customer’s Equipment. This shall include inspecting and testing Customer’s Equipment prior to
installation. In the event Host determines that Customer’s Equipment is damaged, not functioning properly, or not
suitable for Hosting Services, Host shall notify Customer and return Customer’s Equipment, in which case the
Agreement shall be automatically terminated. The term of use of the Customer Space shall begin on the date of
completion of installation of Customer’s Equipment (“Service Commencement Date”). Host shall provide the
following Services in connection with the Customer Space:
(a) Physical space as determined by Host;
(b) Physical security for the Host Facility (security station and personnel, 24 hours/day, 365 days/year);
(c) Power to the Customer Space;
(d) Preparation of Customer’s Equipment for liquid immersion.
(e) Host Facility environmental controls (temperature and humidity); and
(f) Security alarms and fire alarm/suppression systems for the Host Facility.
1.3 Host shall provide cabling for services provided by Host (e.g., network services, network monitoring) and
maintenance on equipment and cabling owned by Host.
1.4 Host shall perform remote and ad hoc engineering and repair services as requested by Customer on an as-
needed basis. Remote and ad hoc engineering and repair services shall be billed at the rate agreed to by Customer
prior to such services being provided. In no case, does this rate include the cost of any materials or equipment
Page 2 of 3
supplied by Host. Remote and ad hoc engineering and repair services shall be provided to Customer’s Equipment
within the Customer Space only pursuant to the express instructions of Customer, and as such, Customer hereby
releases and shall hold Host, its employees and contractors harmless from and against all losses relating to Host’s
performance of such remote or ad hoc engineering and repair services. Customer agrees that all requests for
remote and/or ad hoc engineering and repair services will be billed to Customer at the rates specified, excluding
any service request that is the result of the Host. The response time for remote and ad hoc engineering and repair
services will be based upon available resources at time of Customer request. There shall be no warranty for repairs.
1.5 Definitions. Urgent, Non-Urgent, Service & Business Requests. For purposes of the Agreement, a customer
request for remote and/or ad hoc engineering or repair support shall be deemed Urgent in any case where a
component, application or critical feature of the Customer Equipment or Customer Space is considered down or
non-operational, to such a degree that no work can be performed. For purposes of the Agreement, a request for
remote and/or ad hoc engineering or repair support shall be deemed Non-Urgent when the Customer’s Equipment
or Customer Space is performing in an abnormal or inconsistent manner, that does not otherwise prevent work on
the system. A Service Request shall include any request made by the Customer to the Host that relates to or
concerns routine maintenance or service on the Customer Equipment or Customer Space, which is not otherwise
considered Urgent or Non-Urgent.
1.6 Host shall perform such janitorial services, environmental systems maintenance, power maintenance and other
maintenance actions as Host deems necessary or desirable with respect to the Host Facility in which the Customer
Space is located. Host will from time to time monitor and maintain its network, Host Provided Equipment and Host
Facilities (“Facilities Maintenance”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that the performance of Host Facilities
Maintenance and Customer Maintenance may cause the network to be temporarily inaccessible and the Services
temporarily unavailable to Customer. Host will use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct such Maintenance in
a manner and at such times so as to avoid or minimize the inaccessibility of the network and/or unavailability of the
Services.
2. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS
2.1 Customer shall use the Customer Space only for placement and maintenance of Customer’s Equipment.
2.2 Customer shall provide all end-user equipment.

3.1 Initial Term. The term of the Agreement shall be from the Effective Date, which term shall renew automatically
until the termination or expiration of the last service (“Agreement Term”). Each Service shall have an initial term of
Service for twelve (12) months, commencing on the Service Commencement Date (“Initial Term”). Subsequent
terms of the Agreement automatically renew on a monthly basis (“Renewal Term”) unless Customer provides Host
with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the Initial Term.
3.2 Host reserves the right to modify its rates or the Agreement during any renewal period, provided it first notifies

ends on the last day of the month. On the date that Host activates Service, the Customer shall be charged a pro-
rated fee from activation date until the first day of the following month, and thereafter charged on a monthly basis.
3.4 Termination. If Customer elects to terminate a service prior to the end of a monthly term, Customer will be
obligated to pay the full month’s charges for that service, including, without limitation, unbilled charges, plus any
termination fee(s), if applicable, all of which will immediately become due and payable.

worthiness and credit qualifications. A security deposit equivalent to two months of fees may be required to
accompany each Order. The security deposit shall be applied to the last two months of Services with any short fall
or overage adjustment applied to the last month of Services.

assigning party to object to an assignment within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice shall be deemed tacit

Agreement. All terms and conditions of the Agreement will be deemed enforceable to the fullest extent permissible
under applicable law.
