2.1 Technical Support. Odessa will provide Customer with telephone and email support regarding use of the Supported Software and resolution of Errors in accordance with Table A 1 below. Except as specified in Table A-1 below, Odessa provides such support during Odessa Standard Business Hours. Odessa will provide such support to up to two (2) named support contacts designated by Customer as a primary and backup administrator, who will be knowledgeable in all material aspects of Customer’s network and operating environment, and who will have completed and remain current with Odessa’s recommended training for support contacts for the Supported Software. Customer will ensure that its support contacts direct queries and notifications to Odessa’s designated telephone support numbers and email addresses. Customer will notify Odessa of its initial support contacts promptly following the Sales Order Effective Date. Customer may change the contacts by written notice to Odessa.
2.2 Support Response. Odessa will notify Customer of Errors and other material problems detected by Odessa, and will assign all Errors one of four response priorities, dependent upon the problems caused by the Error, and consistent with the Severity Level descriptions below. Odessa will also respond to information and enhancement requests, consistent with the Severity Level 5 description below. The priorities will dictate the timing and nature of the response as specified in Table A-1 below. Response times are calculated from the moment at which Customer’s request for support first reaches Odessa’s customer support phone lines, or Odessa’s customer support email. Priority categories are as follows:
2.2.1 Severity Level 1 – Software Down or Unusable: An Error stops the Supported Software from running, or so severely impacts production use of the Supported Software that Customer’s business operations are critically affected and Customer cannot reasonably continue work.
2.2.2 Severity Level 2 – Functionality Disabled: An Error causes a major functional area of the Supported Software to be unavailable with no reasonable Workaround and there is a serious impact on Customer’s productivity, but production use of the Supported Software is continuing and Customer can reasonably continue work using the Supported Software.
2.2.3 Severity Level 3 – Degraded Operations: An Error which causes a major functional area of the Supported Software to be unavailable or to function other than as specified in the applicable Documentation but a Workaround exists; or an Error causes less significant functions of the Supported Software to be unavailable or to function other than as specified in the applicable Documentation, with no reasonable Workaround; or an Error which causes performance slowdowns in the Supported Software, but where Customer can still reasonably continue to work using the Supported Software.
2.2.4 Severity Level 4 – Minor Error: An Error which does not affect essential use of the Supported Software, but which represents a deviation from the applicable Documentation. Examples of such Errors include: screen formatting or placement; minor spelling errors; color Errors, and sorting Errors.
2.2.5 Severity Level 5 – Information/Enhancement Request: Customer requests information, an enhancement, or documentation clarification regarding the Supported Software but there is no material adverse impact on the operation of the Supported Software.

Customer will provide Odessa with remote access (over a VPN, WebEx or other similar secure access system) to Customer’s testing and production servers on which the Supported Software is installed, to enable Odessa’s provision of Support Services. It is Customer’s responsibility to provide an environment on which any reported problem can be recreated or captured. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Customer will not provide Odessa with access to or copies of Licensed Program databases containing un-scrubbed or un-obfuscated customer data or Personal Information. Odessa will have no liability for any non-performance of Support Services arising out of any failure of Customer or its suppliers to provide Odessa with access to such servers.
2.6 On-Site Visits. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.5 above, if Odessa and Customer mutually determine that Odessa may more effectively resolve an Error with an on-site visit to any Customer location, then Customer will pay Odessa for Odessa’s travel, attendance and services on a time and materials basis at Odessa’s then current daily rates, and will reimburse Odessa for Odessa’s reasonable travel and living expenses.
2.7 Customer Cooperation. Customer acknowledges that Odessa may not be able to resolve an Error if Customer does not cooperate with and assist Odessa in resolving the Error (including in replicating the Error, in retrieving and sharing database, workstation, server and log file data relating to the Error, and in providing Odessa with access to Customer’s servers, databases and all other aspects of its operating environment as necessary for Odessa to diagnose and resolve the Error). Customer will use deployment automation tools as required by Odessa for deployment and promotion of all Software releases (including Fixes) in all Customer environments. Customer is responsible for obtaining, operating, maintaining and supporting all equipment, services and other software necessary to operate the Software.
2.8 Software Releases. Odessa will make Software Releases available to Customer if and when they are made generally commercially available by Odessa to Odessa’s customers. Odessa may provide Customer with a Maintenance Fix if Customer is experiencing, or in Odessa’s sole discretion may experience a Severity Level One or Two situation. Software Releases will constitute “Software” for purposes of the Master Agreement. Odessa will be solely responsible for determining whether derivative works of or improvements to the Software constitute a Software Release or new software programs not covered by the applicable Sales Order or Support Services.
2.9 Support Obligations Applicable to APIs and Third Party Programs. The following provisions apply only if Customer is acquiring APIs or Third Party Programs from Odessa, and only to the extent the Sales Order specifies that Odessa will provide Support Services for the APIs or the Third Party Programs.
2.9.1 Support, Error Resolution and Upgrades. Odessa will provide technical support and Error resolution services for the APIs and general release versions of Third Party Programs as part of the Support Services and also will provide, to the extent and subject to the limitations specified below, Software Releases for the APIs and Third Party Programs.
2.9.2 Odessa Upgrade Compatibility. Odessa will design general release Software Releases of the Odessa Programs to maintain compatibility with APIs and Third Party Programs that qualify as Supported Software, at no additional charge to Customer. With respect to APIs and Third Party Programs that do not qualify as Supported Software, Odessa will charge Customer at Odessa’s then standard rates for developing such compatibility.
2.9.3 Third Party Product Compatibility. If the suppliers of Supported Software Third Party Programs or the products or services with which Supported Software APIs are designed to interoperate modify such programs, products or services, then Odessa will provide compatibility between the Odessa Programs and the applicable APIs and general release versions of Third Party Programs. Odessa will charge Customer at Odessa’s then standard rates for developing such compatibility for any APIs or Third Party Programs that do not qualify as Supported Software. Customer acknowledges that Odessa requires reasonable advance notice in order to modify and test APIs and Odessa Program Software Releases that are designed to interoperate with new versions of Third Party Programs in order to maintain compatibility, and that Odessa will have no responsibility for any incompatibilities between the APIs or Odessa Program Software Releases and the third party products or services or new versions of Third Party Programs and consequent Errors unless and until Odessa has made its modifications available for general release.
2.9.4 Operating System Changes. Odessa may, but will not be obligated to, perform the work necessary to obtain compatibility between the APIs and changes in Customer’s operating environment. Odessa will charge Customer for such work at its standard rates.
2.9.5 Dependence on Third Party Licensors. Odessa does not have access to the source code of, nor rights to modify the Third Party Programs. The Parties each acknowledge that Odessa’s ability to resolve Errors in, and provide new releases of Third Party Programs is dependent upon the applicable Third Party Program supplier. Odessa will nonetheless be solely responsible for monitoring and enforcing the Third Party Program supplier’s support and maintenance obligations under the applicable supply agreement between them.
2.10 Scope of Support and Software Release Services. Odessa will have no obligation to correct Errors or support queries arising from Customer’s misuse or alteration of the Supported Software, failure or fluctuation of electrical power, maintenance of the Supported Software by anyone other than Odessa or Odessa’s authorized representatives, Customer’s combining or merging Supported Software with any hardware or software not identified as compatible by Odessa, use of the Supported Software other than in accordance with the Documentation or the provisions of this Agreement, or Customer’s provision to Odessa of incorrect configuration directions or other information. Odessa will have no obligation to correct Errors or support Software or PSA Deliverables except with respect to the Supported Software. Odessa will be obligated to comply with its response times and resolution commitments in this Agreement only with respect to Customer’s production use of the Supported Software: if Odessa, in its sole discretion, elects to address Errors or other problems with the Software outside the scope of this Exhibit (e.g., bugs occurring in non-production use, or bugs in old versions that Odessa is no longer obligated to support), then Odessa will handle such Errors on a reasonable efforts basis, and may charge for its services at its then current applicable rates. The Support Services exclude any configuration of any Software or PSA Deliverables. Odessa’s provision of support services and Software Releases is conditioned on Customer being current on its Support Services Fees payments for all of the Supported Software.
2.10.1 Customer Responsibilities. Except to the extent specified in a supplemental services agreement between Odessa and Customer, Customer will be responsible for each of the items described in this Section 2.10.1. This list of responsibilities is not intended to be exhaustive, but addresses primary issues for purposes of clarification. Odessa will not be obligated to resolve problems (including Errors) arising from Customer’s non-conformance with this Section 2.10.1. Odessa may, at Customer’s request, diagnose, resolve, or participate in resolution of such problems, but may charge Customer for its work at Odessa’s then standard rates.
(a) Systems and Network Administration. Customer is responsible for proper maintenance of all hardware, operating systems, and other support software that run beneath the Supported Software, including: disk space maintenance; log file maintenance; backups, clustering, load balancing, application server, administration, user administration; patch administration; routing, security, firewall, and other types of network administration. To the extent that Odessa accepts responsibility for Supported Software performance, that responsibility ends at the point where the Supported Software makes information available to its applicable web server. Odessa cannot, and has no obligation to control Supported Software performance through Customer’s network infrastructure and the subsequent “internet cloud.”
(b) Database Administration. Customer is responsible for proper maintenance of all hardware and software associated with the database required by the Supported Software (typically a Microsoft SQL Server application), including disk space and database file maintenance, database index maintenance, user administration, and all other activities described by the database administration documentation and as required for proper database performance and function.
(c) Capacity Planning. Customer is responsible for monitoring load on the systems and application and for projecting, planning, and executing any expansion in the number or type of application servers, database servers, report servers, document servers, and web servers required to maintain system performance at acceptable levels. In any event, Customer will ensure that its systems and their performance are at least as good as those of Customer’s systems as documented in Odessa’s QA exit report for the implementation project, or for any subsequent performance testing or capacity planning professional services engagements performed by Odessa under the Professional Services Agreement (the “Baseline Criteria”). If Customer wishes to materially change its systems or application configurations, or increase loads in excess of the Baseline Criteria, and if such change or increase causes performance issues in the Supported Software which are not the result of Errors inherent in the Software then, if Odessa and Customer agree that Odessa will provide Support Services for any such performance issues, Odessa may charge Customer for its services at its then current applicable rates, or Customer and Odessa may enter into a capacity planning project under a new statement of work to the Professional Services Agreement.
(d) Software Administration. Customer is responsible for performing normal administration of the Software as described in the applicable Documentation and in any training provided by or on behalf of Odessa, including: adding and deleting users, monitoring and cleaning up of “todo” items, adding and deleting customers, workflow maintenance, and running reports.
(e) Security. Customer is responsible for performing system and network administration including virus protection activities, and for designing, implementing, and managing security procedures and security infrastructure to ensure the security of the information and capabilities within the system on which Customer operates the Software.
2.10.2 Project Customizations. Except to the extent specified in a statement of work to the Professional Services Agreement or in a Sales Order or Sales Order addendum (for example, if Customer is purchasing an enhanced support package that specifically includes such support), Odessa is not obligated to:
(a) provide Error resolution for any PSA Deliverables that do not qualify as Supported Software, nor to provide new or updated versions of Project Customizations or of Configurations; nor
(b) provide or ensure compatibility between any Software Releases and any version of any Project Customizations or Configurations.
Odessa may provide error resolution, upgrade and compatibility services for Project Customizations or Configurations if requested by Customer, but will do so under the Professional Services Agreement, and will charge Customer for its services at Odessa’s then standard rates.
2.11 Modification of Support Services. Odessa may modify the nature and extent of the Support Services upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Customer; provided, however, that no modification will be effective without Customer’s prior written consent if it materially adversely affects Customer’s rights under this Support Exhibit.

No refund will be payable, nor will Customer be entitled to relief from Support Services Fees payable with respect to any minimum Support Services subscription term, in any other circumstances. Odessa will pay Customer any applicable refund within thirty (30) days of such termination.
3.3 Reinstatement. If Customer has cancelled any Support Services under a Sales Order, and Customer subsequently wants to reinstate Support Services, then Customer will pay Odessa a reinstatement fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Annual Support Fees last paid or payable by Customer, together with the Support Fees that would have been payable for the intervening period between cancellation of Support Services and reinstatement. The new Support Term will commence on the day that Odessa first recommences Support Services. Customer will pay Odessa the reinstatement fee and the Annual Support Fees for the new Support Term within thirty (30) days of receipt of Odessa’s invoice.

6.1. Odessa Assessment. Odessa may use third party vendors to provide the Odessa Solution. Odessa carries out a security risk-based assessment of prospective vendors before working with those vendors to validate that prospective vendors meet Odessa’s security requirements. Odessa periodically reviews each third party in light of Odessa’s security and business continuity standards, including the type of access and classification of data being accessed (if any), controls necessary to protect data, and legal/regulatory requirements. Odessa ensures that Customer Personal Data is returned and/or deleted at the end of an Odessa relationship. For the avoidance of doubt, third-party services that Customer chooses to integrate via the Odessa Solution are not considered subcontractors of Odessa.
6.1. Odessa Agreements. Odessa enters into written agreements with all of its vendors which include confidentiality, privacy and security obligations that provide an appropriate level of protection for the personal data contained within the Customer Personal Data that these vendors may process.
7. Security Certificates.
7.1. Odessa Certificates. Odessa has obtained the following security-related certifications for the Odessa Solution:
7.2. System and Organization Control (“SOC”) 2 – Type I. Odessa maintains SOC 2 – Type II certification for the Odessa Solution. SOC 2 audits for the Odessa Solution are conducted once a year by an independent third-party auditor. The SOC 2 audits validate Odessa’s physical and environmental safeguards for production data centers, backup and recovery procedures, software development processes, and logical security controls.
7.3. Azure Certifications. In addition, the Odessa Solution uses and leverages Azure data centers, with a reputation of being highly scalable, secure, and reliable. Information about Azure audit certifications are available at the Azure Security website https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/Azure.
8. Architecture and Data Segregation. The cloud communication platform for the Odessa Solution is hosted by Microsoft Azure (“Azure”). The current location of the Azure data center infrastructure used in providing the Odessa Solution is located in the United States. Further information about security provided by Azure is available from the Azure security webpage available at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/. Odessa separates Customer Personal Data using logical identifiers tagging all communications data with the associated Customer ID to clearly identify ownership. Odessa’s APIs are designed and built to designed and built to identify and allow access only to and from these tags and enforce access controls to ensure the confidentiality and integrity requirements for each Customer are appropriately addressed. These controls are in place so one customer’s communications cannot be accessed by another customer.
9. Physical Security.
9.1. Azure data centers that host the Odessa Solution are strictly controlled both at the perimeter and at building ingress points by professional security staff utilizing video surveillance, intrusion detection systems, and other electronic means. Authorized staff must pass two-factor authentication a minimum of two times to access data center floors. All visitors and contractors are required to present identification and are signed in and continually escorted by authorized staff. These facilities are designed to withstand adverse weather and other reasonably predictable natural conditions. Each data center has redundant electrical power systems that are available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Uninterruptible power supplies and on-site generators are available to provide back-up power in the event of an electrical failure. In addition, Odessa headquarters and office spaces have a physical security program that manages visitors, building entrances, CCTVs (closed circuit television), and overall office security. All contractors and visitors are required to wear identification badges.
10. Security by Design. The Odessa’s Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) standard defines the process by which Odessa creates secure products and the activities that the product teams must perform at different stages of development (requirements, design, implementation, and deployment). Odessa engineers perform numerous security activities for the Odessa Solution including:
10.1. internal security reviews before products are launched;
10.2. periodic penetration tests performed by independent third-party contractors; and
10.3. conduct threat models for the Odessa Solution including documenting any detection of attacks.
11. Access Controls.
11.1. Provisioning Access. To minimize the risk of data exposure, Odessa follows the principles of least privilege when provisioning system access. Odessa personnel are authorized to access Customer Personal Data based on their job function, role and responsibilities, and such access requires approval of the employee’s manager. Access rights to production environments are reviewed at least semi-annually. An employee’s access to Customer Personal Data is promptly removed upon termination of their employment. Before an Odessa employee is granted access to the production environment, access must be approved by management and the employee is required to complete internal trainings for such access including trainings on the relevant team’s systems. Odessa logs high risk actions and changes in the production environment. Odessa leverages automation to identify any deviation from internal technical standards that could indicate anomalous/unauthorized activity to raise an alert within minutes of a configuration change.
11.2. Password Controls. Odessa’s current policy for employee password management follows a strict password standard, and as such, our policy is to use longer passwords, with multi-factor authentication but not require frequent changes. The Odessa Solution supports Single Sign On as well as application based custom authentication. In the case when custom authentication mechanism is leveraged, the Odessa solution stores Customer passwords in encrypted form.
12. Change Management. Odessa has a formal change management process to manage changes to software, applications and system software that will be deployed within the production environment. Change requests are documented using a formal, auditable, system of record. Prior to a high-risk change being made, an assessment is carried out to consider the impact and risk of a requested change, evidence acknowledging applicable testing for the change, approval of deployment into production by appropriate approvers(s) and roll back procedures. A change is reviewed and tested before being deployed to production.
13. Encryption. For the Odessa Solution, Odessa’s cloud platform supports TLS 1.2 to encrypt network traffic transmitted between a Customer application and Odessa’s cloud infrastructure. When supported by integrations selected by Customer, Odessa’s cloud platform will also encrypt network traffic between Odessa’s cloud infrastructure and the integration provider. All Customer Personal Data is stored encrypted using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256).
14. Vulnerability Management. Odessa maintains controls and policies to mitigate the risk from security vulnerabilities in a measurable time frame that balances risk and the business/operational requirements. Odessa uses a third-party tool to conduct vulnerability scans regularly to assess vulnerabilities in Odessa’s cloud infrastructure and corporate systems. Critical software patches are evaluated, tested and applied proactively.
15. Penetration Testing. Odessa performs penetration tests and engages independent third-party entities to conduct application-level penetration tests. Results of penetration tests are prioritized, triaged and remediated promptly by Odessa’s engineering team.
16. Security Incident Management. Odessa maintains security incident management policies and procedures in accordance with industry standards and best practices. Odessa assesses the threat of all relevant vulnerabilities or security incidents and establishes remediation and mitigation actions for all events. Odessa utilizes Azure platforms and third-party tools to detect, mitigate, and to help prevent Distributed Denial of Odessa Solution (DDoS) attacks.
17. Discovery, Investigation and Notification of a Security Incident. Upon discovery or notification of any Security Incident, Odessa will:
17.1. promptly investigate such Security Incident;
17.2. to the extent that is permitted by applicable law, promptly notify Customer.
18. Resilience and Odessa Solution Continuity. Odessa infrastructure for the Odessa Solution uses a variety of tools and mechanisms to achieve high availability and resiliency. For the Odessa Solution, Odessa’s infrastructure spans multiple fault-independent Azure availability regions. For the Odessa Solution, there are manual or automatic capabilities to re-route and regenerate hosts within Odessa’s infrastructure. Odessa leverages specialized tools that monitor server performance, data, and traffic load capacity within each availability zone.. Odessa will also be notified immediately and have the ability to take prompt action to correct the cause(s) behind these issues.
19. Backups and Recovery. Odessa performs regular backups of the Odessa Solution account information, message templates, message logs and other critical data using Azure cloud storage. Backup data are retained redundantly across availability zones and are encrypted in transit and at rest using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) server-side encryption.

Although it is Odessa’s policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement, Odessa recommends that you submit a notice pursuant to the DMCA directly to the customer who provided the content. Odessa’s response to these notices may include forwarding the notice to the applicable customer or removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. Odessa maintains policies and procedures to terminate subscribers that would be considered repeat infringers under the DMCA. See 17 U.S.C. 512 available at http://www.copyright.gov/

v. a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
vi. a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Unless it is reasonably apparent to Odessa that the applicable customer has already received a notice of infringement from you regarding a particular content, Odessa will forward all the information you provide in your notice, including your contact information, to the applicable customer. Odessa’s Designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement is our Legal Department, Odessa Technologies, Inc., 50 S 16th Street, Suite 1900, Philadelphia, PA 19102, email: abuse@odessainc.com.
