Two pricing methodologies are supported, as follows: 1.5.1 Mbps 95th Percentile a. Measurement. Global Crossing’s SNMP bandwidth monitoring will sample the inbound and outbound traffic for each Service connection every 5 minutes (i.e., record a data point reflecting how much bandwidth Customer is utilizing at that particular instance) and store those samples for a month. At the end of each month, all the data samples for the inbound and outbound traffic will be collated and sorted from highest to lowest individually. The highest 5% of each the inbound and outbound traffic is discarded, and the next highest remaining data sample on either the inbound or outbound traffic is the “95th Percentile” number. This number will then be used as the basis for computation of charges for that particular month of CDN Services. b. Example. Global Crossing gathers all data samples for the month of Service and sorts them from highest to lowest discarding the top 5%. For purpose of this example assume the 95th Percentile for the month in question was 75 Mbps. Global Crossing will bill Customer for the charge of 75 Mbps based on the following formula (assumes a thirty day month): 1 Sample (5 Min) X 12 (per hour) X 24 (hours in a day) X 30 (days in the month) = 8,640 Maximum Total Samples/Month. So five percent (5%) of 8640 Maximum Samples/Month = 432 Samples/Month discarded. The highest remaining data sample in the inbound or outbound traffic would be the 95th Percentile. 1.5.2 Gigabyte (GB) Transfer © Global Crossing. Rev: Apr 2009 Page 2 of 9 Global Crossing Content Delivery Network Services (Powered by Limelight Networks) a. Measurement. Global Crossing shall invoice Customer based upon the total amount of Gigabytes (“GB”) of data transferred using the CDN Services, multiplied by the price per GB as agreed and set out in the Service Order. The amount of GBs transferred will be calculated (using 1,000,000,000 bytes as the definition of a GB). Customer traffic for purpose of invoicing will include all ingress and egress traffic related to the CDN Services. 1.6 Traffic Spikes. A traffic spike is defined as any increase or decrease (planned or unplanned) that is reasonably determined by Global Crossing to be greater than fifty percent (50%) of Customer’s average traffic for that time period (day/week/month). Global Crossing will determine its incremental charges caused by traffic spikes and shall have the right to invoice the Customer for those incremental charges. Customer should notify Global Crossing in advance of any anticipated traffic spikes. In order to maintain the quality of the Service for all users, if Global Crossing detects a spike, Global Crossing reserves the right to notify Customer and, in the absence of any commitment from Customer to alleviate the spike within four hours of such notice, to suspend the provision of the Service. 2 Service Terms 2.1 Customer acknowledges that Global Crossing may subcontract the provision of some or all elements of the CDN Services to Global Crossing’s subcontractor; Limelight Networks, Inc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Global Crossing shall remain responsible to Customer for the provision of the CDN Services in accordance with these terms and conditions. In the event that Global Crossing’s contract with Limelight Networks Inc. expires or is terminated, either Customer or Global Crossing shall have the right to terminate the CDN Services upon written notice to the other. The CDN Services are provided to Customer for its own internal use only; resale of the CND Services is prohibited. 2.2 Customer is solely responsible for all content displayed, made available, published, disseminated, transmitted or otherwise distributed by Customer using, or accessible by or to third parties arising from Customer’s use of, the CDN Services, including but not limited to HTTP, streaming media and application content and including any third party or Customer content, identified to Global Crossing to be sent or received using the CDN Services, and/or content hosted or cached by Global Crossing at the direction of Customer (collectively “Customer Materials”).
