Exhibit A

Service Level Agreement

A. General Overview of Support

Relay Robotics provides 24/7 remote monitoring of the Relay Suite.

Except as described in an Order, Relay Robotics will provide Relay Suite maintenance, including onsite support as needed to maintain the Relay in good operating condition during the Use Period.

Request Support by having an authorized Staff member email Relay Robotics at: support@Relayrobotics.com or call 1-408-809-5600, then press “1”and leave complete details regarding the request.

Relay Robotics will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services on a continuous basis; but availability is not guaranteed and may be disrupted, unavailable or inoperable, including, without limitation, due to: (i) equipment malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs, which Relay Robotics may undertake from time to time; or (iii) a Force Majeure event.

Customer will comply with any reasonable requests in connection with the Relay Suite, such as performing requested tasks. Relay Robotics may make onsite visits as reasonably required to provide Support, in which case Relay Robotics will provide reasonable advance notice unless Relay Robotics must respond immediately to an urgent Service matter.

B. Support Response

Tier 1. Call Center 24/7: After the In-Service Date, Customer may request support directly from Relay Robotics at its designated 24/7 Relay Call Center via phone or email at the contact coordinates listed above. Relay Robotics will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond within 60 minutes of receiving the email request. Upon receipt of the support request (“Notification”), Relay Robotics will create a support ticket and start troubleshooting remotely.

Tier 2. If the Call Center is unable to resolve the support request within 4 business hours, the request will be escalated to Tier 2 support to investigate the problem with Relay Robotics’ operations support team. Once received during Business Hours, Tier 2 support will propose a remediation plan within 1 business day. The support center may ask the customer to help, which may include asking Customer to turn the Robot on & off, cleaning the sensors, etc. For clarity, “Business Days and Business Hours” are 8am – 6pm PT, Monday thru Friday, excluding US Holidays.

Tier 3. In the event that Relay Robotics’ Tier 2 support is unable to determine the cause of the problem, the problem will be escalated to Relay Robotics’ Tier 3 support for engineering level investigation. Relay Robotics will communicate a remediation plan to Customer within 3 business days after Notification.

Exclusions. For problems that result from an issue caused by or resulting from the Customer’s network or premises (e.g., an elevator out of service), the time periods above will be extended until Customer has repaired the issue. Relay Robotics takes no responsibility for repairing or resolving Customer’s issues with a network or premises, and Customer agrees that the Customer Support obligations in this Exhibit will resume once Customer resolves such issues.

C. Further Conditions.

If a remediation plan is not communicated to Customer within ten (10) business days after Notification, and such plan is not delivered within two (2) business days after written notice to Relay Robotics, Customer may elect to terminate this Agreement without further payment obligation.

Beginning one day after the date a Notification is escalated to Relay Robotics’ Tier 3 support and continuing until the problem indicated in the Notification has been remediated, repaired or solved, Customer shall be entitled to a day-for-day credit of free usage for each full day of inoperability. Such credits will be applied by adding the corresponding number of days to the end of the Term of the Agreement. Except as set forth in this SLA, Customer shall have no other remedies for repair, support or damages arising from any inability or failure to provide support to Customer or resolve the problem or the operational issues with the Relay Suite.
