This Master Services Agreement (the "Agreement" or "MSA") is entered into between Pilot Fiber, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 1115 Broadway Floor 12, New York, NY 10010 ("Pilot", "we" or "us") and its subsidiaries and the undersigned Customer ("Customer", "you", "your"). For orders placed through our online order link ("Online Orders") the terms herein are incorporated by reference to your Service Order, and the Effective Date is the date you submit your first Service Order.

1. General

The purpose of this MSA is to provide general terms, conditions and a framework within which Customer may from time to time purchase certain telecommunications and related infrastructure services ("Services") from Pilot for Customer's use and/or, with respect to certain telecommunication carrier Customers, for provision of Pilot services to such carriers' customers with Pilot's express authorization ("End User Customers"). Resale of Pilot Services is prohibited under this Agreement. Reselling Pilot Services requires Customer to enter into a separate Reseller Master Services Agreement with Pilot.

Additional terms and conditions that apply to each type of Service are set forth in Service-specific Addenda (each a "Service Addendum") and any policies incorporated into this Agreement or an Addendum (each a "Policy", collectively, the "Policies"). Each Service Addendum executed by Customer and each Policy shall become part of this Agreement. Additionally, Pilot's Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy shall become part of this Agreement at the time the parties execute the Agreement.

3.2. Grant of Non-Exclusive Rights. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not confer on either party exclusive rights to buy or sell telecommunications Services. The parties expressly acknowledge that this Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship between the parties.

3.3. Service Orders. Customer may request Pilot to provide a Service by submitting a service order in a form provided by Pilot from time to time ("Service Order") in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement. The type and scope of the Services to be provided to Customer under the terms of this Agreement, including any of the Services described in the applicable Service Addendum(s), shall be specified in an applicable Service Order. The fees for the Services will be set forth in the Service Order. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither party has any obligation to execute any Service Order.

Customer shall provide Pilot with a Service Order signed by Customer as the customer of record. Each Service Order will set forth the name of each Customer's service address(es) (including zip code), suite and/or floor number, contact information of the person signing the Service Order in Customer's organization, the installation coordination contact in the Customer's organization, the name, phone number, and email address of Customer's ongoing technical support contact, and Customer's billing contact.

The parties shall treat the information included in a Service Order as Confidential Information. Pilot will promptly notify Customer if any Service Order cannot be processed due to incomplete information or any other reason; orders containing incomplete information will not be processed until completed. All Service Orders are subject to acceptance by Pilot, which may accept or reject any Service Order at its sole discretion for any reason. Pilot has no obligation to fulfill any Service Order submitted by Customer, and bears no liability for declining to fulfill any Service Order.

By submitting an Order to Pilot, Customer warrants that the information Customer provides to Pilot in a Service Order is true and correct and that Pilot may reasonably rely upon it. Customer is making a binding offer to acquire the Services described in the Service Order on the terms set out in this Agreement. An agreement to supply a Service is formed on the date that Pilot (in its sole discretion) accepts the Service Order in writing to customer.

4. Scope and Structure / Order of Precedence

Each Service Order issued and accepted and all Services provided hereunder shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Service Addendum for each Service. Each applicable Service Addendum and Service Order for the applicable Service are hereby incorporated into this Agreement.

In the event of conflict or inconsistency between the general provisions of this Agreement and those of an individual Service Order, or the Service Addendum, the conflict or inconsistency shall be resolved in the following order of precedence: first, in favor of the provisions of the Service Order, next in favor of the Service Addendum, and last, in favor of this Agreement.

8. Payment Terms

8.1. Initial Payment and Billing Commencement. Payment for the first month of service and any setup fees for installation of Pilot hardware or equipment ("Non-Recurring Charges" or "NRC") is due upon execution of the Service Order if such fees are specified on the Service Order (the "Initial Payment"). The Initial Payment will be applied to the Customer's first month of Service, beginning on the Billing Commencement Date. The date on which Pilot activates a Service and begins monthly billing for that Service is the "Billing Commencement Date". Customer will receive regular monthly invoices on or around each monthly anniversary of the Billing Commencement Date.

Customer shall pay amounts due upon receipt of each invoice. Payment will be made by Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer, credit card, or as otherwise agreed between you and Pilot. Amounts not paid when due will be subject to late fees from the due date of such invoice equal to the greater of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. Further, Pilot shall be entitled to recover from Customer all collection costs, including attorney fees.

8.3. Taxes and Fees. The fees stated on each Service Order include all taxes, fees, and surcharges charged by Pilot.

9. Credit and Security

From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, Customer authorizes Pilot to assess Customer's creditworthiness and to communicate with credit reporting agencies and/or business partners about Customer's credit status. Pilot may also set a credit limit or restrict Customer's use of the Services to limit Pilot's financial exposure. Pilot may terminate Service(s) on thirty (30) days' notice to Customer without liability if Pilot reasonably determines that Customer poses an unacceptable credit risk.

10. Relationship of the Parties

10.1. Status of Relationship. Each party is an independent contractor of the other, and this Agreement shall not be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee or agency relationship between Customer and Pilot for any purpose. Neither party shall have any authority (and shall not hold itself out as having authority) to bind the other party.

10.4. Disputes. The parties recognize that disputes may arise from time to time. Any such dispute shall be promptly presented to the parties' senior management for resolution. The parties agree to meet and discuss within thirty (30) days of such notification to pursue a good faith resolution of such dispute. If Customer does not notify Pilot of a dispute within thirty (30) days of discovering it, Customer waives its right to raise the dispute.

10.7. Service Level Agreement. All Services under this Agreement are governed by Pilot's Service Level Agreement ("SLA"), as more specifically described in each Service Addendum. Customer acknowledges that the service level credits applicable to each Service are its exclusive remedy in the event of Service interruption or outage and that Pilot does not provide refunds of any kind.

11. Confidentiality

11.1. Definition. "Confidential Information" means any confidential or proprietary information a party may disclose or has disclosed to the other party, whether before or after the Effective Date and whether disclosed orally, in writing or through review of records, data, materials, site visits or otherwise, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood by the receiving party to be confidential.

11.3. Obligation. Receiving party shall: (i) at all times keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential and not divulge, furnish, or make accessible the Confidential Information to any third party; and (ii) use the Confidential Information solely and exclusively for the purpose of carrying out the purposes or rights under this Agreement during the Term of this Agreement.

12.3. Service Orders with a fixed Service Order Term of more than one (1) month specified on the Service Order automatically renew on a month-to-month basis until terminated upon thirty (30) days' written notice.

12.5. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement for a material breach, if such breach shall remain unremedied for 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the breaching party by the non-breaching party.

12.8. Early Termination. For any Service Order with a Service Order Term of longer than one (1) month, if Customer terminates or cancels service under any Service Order for reason other than Pilot's breach prior to its agreed expiration date, Customer will pay Pilot an Early Termination Fee (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) equivalent to the remaining MRC multiplied by the number of months remaining on any Service Orders, plus any unpaid NRC for any Service Orders placed under this Agreement. All termination fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination of the Service Order.

13. Indemnification; Limits on Liability

Service Level Agreement

Last updated: December 2018

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is attached as Exhibit 1 to the Dedicated Internet Access Addendum and defines levels of service quality and the Customer's right to receive credits in the event that the applicable service levels are not achieved.

1. Bandwidth availability guarantee

Pilot guarantees that subscribed bandwidth will be 100% available between any two points on Pilot's network at all times. Pilot does not guarantee that subscribed bandwidth will be 100% available between any two points on the Internet. Outside networks may experience technical issues or limitations that can impact the performance of Customer's service.

If purchased bandwidth is not available as a result of congestion on Pilot's network, Pilot will commence its congestion mitigation procedure within 15 minutes of acknowledgement of a reported issue.

2. Service availability

Pilot guarantees that your service's connection to the Internet will be available at all times. Disruptions to your service that result in the inability to access the Internet in its entirety will result in the automatic application of account credits in accordance with the credit schedule.

3. Packet loss

Pilot guarantees that packet loss between any two points on Pilot's network will not exceed 0.1% at any time. In the event that packet loss is reported and observed in excess of this target, credit will automatically be applied in accordance with the credit schedule.

4. Latency

Pilot guarantees that round-trip latency between any two points on Pilot's network will not exceed 5ms at any time for Metro services. In the event that round-trip latency is reported and observed in excess of this target, credit will automatically be applied in accordance with the credit schedule.

5. Proactive monitoring

Pilot provides 24/7 monitoring of Pilot-owned devices. In the event that a Pilot-owned device becomes unreachable from our Network Operations Center, Pilot will attempt to contact Customer via phone and/or email within 15 minutes.

6. Technical support

In the event of an issue with a Pilot service, Pilot guarantees a 15 minute response interval for issue acknowledgement. Issue acknowledgement may occur via email, telephone, or Pilot's internal help desk.

7. Maintenance

From time to time, it may be necessary to perform scheduled maintenance on Pilot's network that causes a disruption to your service. Pilot may conduct such maintenance on any day between the hours of 12AM and 8AM local time, provided that Pilot has given you at least 24 hours written notice of such maintenance.

In the event that Pilot must perform unscheduled maintenance on its network without providing a minimum of 24 hours written notice, credits will automatically be assessed in accordance with the credit schedule.

8. Congestion mitigation

Pilot will begin to attempt to mitigate any congestion or oversaturation on its network within 15 minutes of an acknowledgement to an initial report. Pilot will continue to provide updates in 15 minute increments until the congestion has been mitigated.

If it is not possible to resolve a congestion condition from Pilot's Network Operations Center, Pilot guarantees that it will increase physical capacity within 72 hours subject to Physical Access and Safety limitations imposed by third-parties.

9. DoS/DDoS attacks

In the event of a Denial of Service (DoS), or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack toward the Pilot Network or a Pilot customer, Pilot will begin mitigation efforts within 15 minutes. Pilot is not responsible for service interruptions as a result of any attack on our network by a third party.

10. Damage to fiber system

In the event of physical damage to Pilot's underground or aerial fiber-optic cable system, Pilot will identify the location of the damaged components and dispatch technicians to that location within two hours of the initial issue report. Pilot strives for a four hour repair interval.

11. Force majeure

Pilot is not responsible for any failure to meet its service level objectives or guarantees that is caused by a Force Majeure event. Force Majeure events include, but are not limited to: damage to the fiber-optic cable system by a third party, fire, explosions, power failures, strikes or labor disputes, water (including flooding), physical access limitations, acts of god, the elements (including severe storms), war, civil unrest, or acts of terror.

12. Credit schedule

Credits are issued at the sole discretion of Pilot within 15 days of the SLA event. No credit issuance may exceed 100% of the monthly charges for any affected services. Credits are Customer's sole remedy under this SLA.

  • Congestion (Resolved by NOC): 5% per hour, 20% per incident max
  • Congestion (Resolved outside NOC): 5% per hour after 72-hour interval
  • Service Availability (100% Packet Loss): 5% per hour
  • Packet Loss (exceeds 0.1%): 5% per hour
  • Latency (exceeds 5ms): 5% per hour
  • Proactive Monitoring (failure to notify within 15 min): 10% per incident
  • Technical Support Response (over 15 min): 10% per incident
  • Unscheduled Maintenance (less than 24hr notice): 5% per incident
