Community Management supported per country, support and maintenance of Dara Feeds, and reports, and
separate accounting/invoicing per country.
PV’s are calculated at end of each calendar month for all products (Forums, Groups, Chatboards,
Answer Center). If the total sum of combined page views for those products in a given month equals
more than the allowable page view cap for that department, overage fees will be applied for the
month in which the overage occurred AND country will be elevated to the next service level/price
model for the remainder of the contract.
Overage fees can be avoided by increasing regions to the next contractual level before overage
occurs. After the first [***] months of the initial period ([***] months — Calendar 2007) from
the Addendum Effective Date, and at the beginning of each subsequent [***] month period, eBay or
any eBay Affiliate may decrease their respective LiveWorld Services Level by a maximum of [***]

in Exhibit A-1. Levels can be increased at any time within the contractual period.

1. Performance Standards: LiveWorld and the LiveWorld Services shall comply with the
performance standards set forth in this service levels agreements (“SLA”).
1.1 Service Availability Performance. LiveWorld shall measure Service Availability
(“SA”) on an individual country basis for all LiveWorld Services provided for each country under
this Agreement.
Monthly Service Availability Metric for each individual LiveWorld Services:
[***]%
1.2 Website Response Performance. LiveWorld shall measure monthly website response
(“WR”) times based upon the download time of LiveWorld’s raw HTML, excluding any external content.
Minimum time to connect to LiveWorld Site: [***] second, [***]% of the time.
Minimum time to connect to LiveWorld Site: [***] second, [***]% of the time.
1.3 Service Performance Standard Calculations.
1.3.1 Monitoring: Approximately every [***] minutes, the LiveWorld monitor will
issue
an HTTP GET from within the LiveWorld datacenter and store results in the LiveWorld monitoring
database, for each LiveWorld Service.
The monitoring database shall be structured similarly to the following:
TABLE `log`
`timestamp` bigint (20) NOT NULL default ‘0’,
`host` text NOT NULL,
`uri` text NOT NULL,
`status` text NOT NULL,
`duration` int (11) NOT NULL default ‘0’

where | timestamp is the Unix timestamp | |||
hostname & URI is the actual service and URI being tracked | ||||
status is a flag that indicates whether that measurement should be factored into the SLA or should be excluded due to schedule maintenance or eBay outage or other exclusion per the terms of this agreement. | ||||
Duration is the time it took to load a page in milliseconds |
Sample data will look similar to the following:

1.3.2 vice Availability Calculating:

PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. |
Step 1: For each HTTP GET record in the monitor database, the following will
be determined:
Unfulfilled requests — timeouts on requests that take longer than
[***] ([***] milliseconds)
Fulfilled requests — all requests [***] seconds or less
<[***] requests — all Fulfilled requests loading in less than
[***] seconds ([***] milliseconds)
<[***] requests — all Fulfilled requests loading in greater than
[***] seconds ([***] milliseconds) but greater than or equal to [***]
seconds
>[***] requests — all fulfilled requests loading in greater than
[***] seconds
Ignore requests — all requests during Scheduled Maintenance windows
and outages of the eBay Site that impact the LiveWorld Services and
other permitted exceptions under Section 12.3 of the Agreement and
Section 5 of this SLA.
Net Requests — The total number of requests minus Ignore requests
Step 2: A SA percentage for each LiveWorld Service will be calculated by
dividing Fulfilled requests by Net Requests then multiplying by [***]. For
the sample data above, the resulting calculation would be:
Xxxxxx.xxxx.xxx: Fulfilled=[***], Net Requests=[***] — SA=[***]
Xxxxxx.xxxx.xx: Fulfilled=[***], Net Requests=[***] — SA=[***]
Xxxxxx.xxxx.xx: Fulfilled=[***], Net Requests=[***] — SA=[***]
Step 3: A WR percentage for <[***] second requests for each LiveWorld
Service will be calculated by dividing the number of <[***] second
requests by the Net Requests minus Unfulfilled requests times [***]. A WR
percentage for <[***] second requests for each LiveWorld Service will be
calculated by dividing the sum of the number <[***]and <[***] second
requests by Net Requests minus unfulfilled requests times [***]. For the
sample data above, the resulting calculation would be:
Xxxxxx.xxxx.xxx:
<[***] second requests = [***], Net Requests=[***] — 0 =[***] —
-21-
PORTIONS DENOTED WITH [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. |
WR for <[***] seconds = [***]
<[***] second requests = [***], Net Requests = [***] — WR for
<[***] seconds = [***]
<[***] second requests = [***], Net Requests = [***] — WR for
<[***] seconds = [***]
Xxxxxx.xxxx.xx
<[***] second requests=[***], Net Requests=[***] — WR for
<[***] seconds=[***]
<[***] second requests=[***], Net Requests = [***] — WR for
<[***] seconds = [***]
<[***] seconds=[***]
<[***] second requests=[***], Net Requests = [***] — WR for
<[***] seconds = [***]
Step 4: Metrics will be calculated each LiveWorld Service by using the
monthly Page Views reported by each service within a particular country
(weighted average for services within that country).
1.4 LiveWorld and eBay shall review the performance metrics and monitoring tools at least once
per quarter. Any changes to the performance metrics or monitoring tools, must be mutually agreed
upon by LiveWorld and eBay in writing.
2. Technical Support and Problem Resolutions:
2.1 Technical Support. LiveWorld shall provide eBay with Technical Support every day
(24x7) with a telephone/pager number for submission of all Severity 1 and 2 Support Requests and an
email support address for Severity 3 and feature enhancement/modification requests. An on-call
support technical shall answer the telephone/pager number.
2.2 Problem Classification. The following classification table defines the severity
of problems reported by eBay and/or LiveWorld.
Problem Classification Table
Classification | Criteria | |
Severity 1 (Critical) |
The LiveWorld Service is non-operative or performance is significantly impaired. The LiveWorld Service cannot be accessed by Users without significant delay, if at all. No known work around is currently available. | |
Severity 2 (Degraded) |
The LiveWorld Service is operational but usability is impaired. | |
Severity 3 (Minimal) |
Reported problems that have slight or no impact on User access or usability. (Includes general bugs and users or eBay contributed HTML that causes performance/display problems) |

2.3 Response Expectation Table. The following Response Expectation table specifies
the level of response that will be given to a problem at each step of the process based upon the
assigned severity of the problem. The table specifies the maximum of time elapsed to complete each
step.
Escalation Response Expectation Table
Severity | Step 1 (Identify) | Step 2 (Temporary | Step 3 (Fix) | |||

As appropriate |
2.4 Escalation Process. All problems with a Severity Level of 1 to 2 will be
escalated if a solution or plan of resolution cannot be achieved within the designated amount of
time as described above. Escalations will occur in accordance with the following schedule:
