| WINDOWS 2003 PLATINUM HOSTING PLAN
Server
Hardware
VisionFriendly NC
is committed to providing the most secure and
fail safe hosting services available anywhere for a
standard of excellence commensurate with the
best practice in the industry. Network uptime and
server availability are of the highest importance. The
following service levels are designed to assure VisionFriendly NC's
customers of ultimate performance and maximal uptime.

Using
the VisionFriendly NC Windows 2003 Platinum plan the
customer will be running on:
Dual
3.0GHz Intel P4 Processors (or faster) with 1GB RAM,
2 250 GB SATA Hard Drives with RAID 1, running Windows Server
2003.
There
are 3 levels of redundancy at the DNS level. All servers
are protected by a firewall. Each SQL transaction is
replicated on a second server of equal or greater performance.
Each server has Raid 1 technology in case of a hard
drive failure.
Under the Platinum Plan each Web Site update (HTML,
ASP code, etc.) is duplicated on the second server whenever
a change is made to the primary server.
For disaster recovery all site files and databases are
copied to the VisionFriendly NC servers in Sugar Grove,
IL every night. As a forth layer of precaution, monthly
copies of the data are taken off-site for secure storage.

VisionFriendly NC's receipt of customer's trouble ticket concerning the
hardware issue and VisionFriendly NC's identification of the failed hardware
("Replacement Guarantee"). "Hardware" means the Processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s),
motherboard, NIC card and other related hardware (this does not include the

100%
Network Uptime
VisionFriendly NC guarantees that the network the servers are on will be
available 100% of the time, excluding Maintenance, as defined below. Customers
are eligible for a credit for Network Downtime for any failure in the Network,
which can be verified by VisionFriendly NC's technical support team. "Network Downtime" is
defined as an inability to transmit and receive data caused by failure of network
equipment managed by VisionFriendly NC, excluding Maintenance.
Remedies
In the event VisionFriendly NC fails to meet the Replacement Guarantee or
customer experiences Infrastructure Downtime or Network Downtime as outlined
herein, provided Customer follows the procedures outlined herein, VisionFriendly NC
will apply a credit ("Credit") to customer's account in an amount equal to

downtime or fraction thereof. "Net MRC" means the monthly recurring
charge for hosting service for the server experiencing the issue excluding
any add-on or optional services which are not included as part of the standard
hosting plan but are included as part of such customer's monthly recurring
charge.
All
downtimes will be measured from the time the call is
received and validated by VisionFriendly NC to the
time VisionFriendly NC, in its sole discretion is
able to resolve the issue. Customer may not receive
more than 1 Credit per incident and in no event will
Customer receive greater than one month's Net hosting
invoice.
Customer
must be a VisionFriendly NC customer in good standing
to receive the Credit. No Credit will be applied to
accounts that are past-due or for accounts that are
cancelled before the conditions for payment of the
Credit are met. Upon cancellation of the customer's
account, any outstanding or previously accrued Credits
will be forfeited. Credits will be applied against
purchases or renewals for which payment is due after the date the credit
is applied. Credits will not be applied against past due balances.
