Spire will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the service levels set out below (“SLs”), as measured by reference to Spire’s business records but excluding: (a) commercially reasonable planned downtime; (b) the failure of equipment, applications and other systems not under the direct control of Spire or its subcontractors; and (c) other circumstances beyond Spire’s reasonable control

(collectively, “Excluded Events”).

Service Item Service Level

System Uptime

Monthly average of more than 99,9%

“Uptime” means the average time that AIS Data was online and available in any given month, as recorded by Spire. Data Volume global Satellite

An average of more than 8 million messages per day during a calendar month.

The performance against the SL shall be calculated by dividing (1) the total number of AIS messages delivered by Spire’s satellite constellation in a calendar month; by (2) the total number of days in that calendar month.

Data Volume global Satellite + Terrestrial

Average of more than 30 million messages per day during a calendar month.

The performance against the SL shall be calculated by dividing (1) the total number of AIS messages made available by Spire in a calendar month; by (2) the total number of days in that calendar month.

In the event that Spire fails to meet the SLs in a given calendar month, but ignoring any failure to the extent attributable to Excluded Events, Customer shall be entitled to receive a number of additional free days access to the Data at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term as applicable (the “Service Level Credit”) calculated as follows:

Performance compared to SL (on average during the month) (=X)

Service Level Credit days

100% or more No credit Between 50% and 100% 15 days Below 50% 1 month Example for the “Data Volume global Satellite” SL: If the average number of AIS messages delivered per day by Spire’s satellite constellation in a calendar month is equal to 7 million messages the Customer shall receive a Service Level Credit of 15 days.

In order to obtain a Service Level Credit in any given calendar month, Customer must send Spire a written notice within 30 days following the end of such calendar month specifying: (a) the Data in relation to which Customer is claiming the

credit; (b) the dates and or times in which the Data or availability

of the Data failed to achieve the applicable SL; and (c) the amount of the Service Level Credit that Customer

believes it is owed.

Spire shall check any claim for a Service Level Credit against its business records in order to determine whether (1) the Data has met the SLs; and (2) whether Customer is entitled to a Service Level Credit. Spire’s determination shall be binding in the absence of fraud or manifest error.

The aggregate maximum number of days of additional access to the Data granted as Service Level Credits for any failures in to meet the SLs in a calendar month shall not exceed the number of days in that calendar month. Service Level Credits may not be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary amounts.

In the event that Customer receives the maximum Service Level Credit for any 6 consecutive calendar monthly periods, then Customer shall be entitled to terminate such this Agreement.

Customer agrees that (a) the Service Level Credits; and (b) Customer's right to terminate in Paragraph 5.5 are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Spire’s sole and exclusive liability, for: (a) downtime in the availability of the Data; and (b) failure of the Data to meet any expectations and

performance level. 6. Customer Support
