The receiving party will use the Confidential Information and copy it only to the extent required to accomplish the intent of this Agreement, and disclosure will be restricted to those individuals who have a need to know and have been made aware of and consent in writing to be bound by similar restrictions as those contained herein.

13. Indemnification
13.1. Subject to applicable law, Cyxtera will indemnify Licensee against claims, demands, suits or actions (each, a “Claim”) brought against Licensee by any third party alleging that Licensee's use of the Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement constitutes a direct infringement or misappropriation of such third party's patent claims, copyright or trade secret rights, and Cyxtera will pay damages finally awarded against Licensee with respect to such Claims.
13.2.

Licensee's failure to deliver prompt notice to Cyxtera after Cyxtera becomes aware of such matter will relieve Cyxtera of any liability to Licensee under this Section 13. Licensee will cooperate fully with Cyxtera and its legal representatives in the investigation of any potential Claim.
13.5. This Section 13 states Cyxtera's sole obligation, and Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy, with respect to any intellectual property infringement arising from, or related to, Licensee’s use of the Products.

That individual may submit change requests to the list of authorized Customer Technical Personnel in writing through the channel(s) specified for the plan selected.

To ensure the fastest response to an Incident, Customer Technical Personnel should use the Support Portal located at http://support.cryptzone.com. The Support Portal provides access to Cyxtera’s self-help knowledge base, download services as well as viewing and creation of new support cases.
Requests can also be logged by sending email to appgatesdp.support@cyxtera.com. AppGate SDP Support Licensees can also contact Cyxtera via the support hotline after opening an electronic ticket request.
Once an incident has been submitted, the ‘initial response’ is defined as the period in which initial investigations into the problem are made and resolution details or a plan of action are defined. Response time is deemed to commence from when the Cyxtera Helpdesk has been notified of any issue within normal working hours or from the commencement of normal working hours following receipt of an issue.
4.3. Escalation of Incidents
If Licensee requests escalation of an existing Incident, the Customer Technical Personnel should:
• Call the Support Phone number on the Cyxtera website,
• State that this is an escalation of an existing Incident and provide the case number and support agent responsible if possible, and
• Provide Licensee name and contact details.
In the unlikely event that the Support team does not respond, the Customer Technical Personnel should get in touch with the dedicated Customer Account Manager to assist with the escalation. If a Licensee needs to escalate an ongoing incident, the Customer Technical Personnel should email supportmanagers.appgate@cyxtera.comas well as the Account Manager with a clear subject: Escalation.
The escalation response expectations are:
• During Business Hours: Response within 2 hours of the acknowledged escalation request, and
• After Business Hours: For Production Down escalations, an initial response should be expected within 4 elapsed hours of the acknowledged escalation request. For all other severity levels and questions, 1 business day of the acknowledged escalation request.
5. Support Response and Incident Resolution
5.1. Cyxtera Incident Response
For each Incident reported by Licensee in accordance with these procedures, Cyxtera will:
(a) Confirm receipt of the reported Incident within the acknowledgement time specified in these Support Terms.
(b) Set a Severity Level for the Incident in accordance with the terms below.
(c) Use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to the Incident within the time specified in these Support Terms.
(d) Analyze the Incident and, as applicable, verify the existence of the problem(s) resulting in the Incident, which may include requesting that Licensee provide additional information, logs, and re-execution of commands to help identify the root cause and dependencies of the reported issue.
(e) Give Licensee direction and assistance in resolving the Incident.
(f) Keep a record of ongoing communications with Licensee.
(g) Use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Incident in accordance with the target response times set forth in these Support Terms.
(h) Upon request of Licensee, discuss Severity Level and ongoing communication time frame.
Cyxtera may modify the Incident settings.
6. Severity Levels
Cyxtera will prioritize Incidents according to the following criteria:
(a) “Production Down” cases are the highest priority and receive first attention. In such cases, the Products are either completely inoperable or inaccessible to all of Licensee’s users.
(b) “High Severity” cases indicate an issue has severely impacted the performance of the Product’s intended use and is causing a material and adverse impact to the majority of Licensee’s users.
(c) “Medium Severity” cases reflect an issue that has an impact on the performance or functionality of the Products as documented but it is impacting the minority of the Licensee’s users.
(d) “Low Severity” cases reflect an issue that has a minimal impact on the performance or functionality of the Products or is a recommendation for future development or product improvement.
7. Resolution and Closure of Incidents
Incidents will be closed in the following manner:
(a) For solvable issues, depending on the nature of the issue, the resolution may take the form of an explanation, recommendation, usage instructions, workaround instructions, or advising Licensee of an available software fix.
(b) In the event that custom or unsupported plug-ins or modules are used, Cyxtera may ask, in the course of attempting to resolve the issue, that the Licensee remove any unsupported plug-ins or modules. If the problem disappears upon removal of an unsupported plug-in or module, then Cyxtera may consider the issue to be resolved. Supported plug-ins or modules are defined as those listed and defined as supported in in the Cyxtera Documentation.
(c) For issues outside of scope of Support, Cyxtera may also close issues by identifying the Incident as outside the scope of the Support or arising from a version, platform, or usage case which is excluded from these Support Terms.
(d) Cyxtera may close a case if the Customer Technical Personnel has not responded to two attempts or more made by Cyxtera to collect additional information required to solve the incident.
(e) Licensee may request Incidents be re-opened. At Cyxtera’s sole discretion, Incidents will be reopened for further investigation if the Incident is deemed to be solvable.

EXHIBIT B TO CYXTERA EULA Service Level Agreement (Hosted Services Only) For Hosted Services only, and unless otherwise agreed in an Order Form, Cyxtera provides a Service Level Agreement as follows: 1. Service Level Agreement 1.1. Subject to the terms of this Exhibit B, the Hosted Services will be available 99% of the Scheduled Uptime Minutes, measured on a monthly basis (the “SLA Commitment”). If Cyxtera fails to meet the SLA Commitment, Licensee will be eligible for a credit (an “SLA Credit”) calculated as set out below. 1.2. Cyxtera will issue SLA Credits to Licensee, as applicable, as follows: (a) Within 60 days of the end of the applicable month, Licensee must note the SLA failure and request a credit in writing (email suffices), providing appropriate supporting information. (b) Cyxtera will confirm the SLA failure and issue SLA Credits based on the actual Availability Percentage and the credit table set out below. 1.3. All SLA Credits are based upon a monthly calculation of Availability Percentage applied to applicable Amount Subject to Service Level Credits. (a) SLA Credit Formulation and Table:
Availability Percentage = Scheduled Uptime Minutes - Unscheduled Outage Minutes / Scheduled Uptime Minutes
Availability Percentage | SLA Credit Percentage |
98% to <99% | 10% |
Below 98% | 25% |
1.4. SLA Definitions: (a) “Amount Subject to Service Level Credits” means the monthly amount due (or the calculated pro rata equivalent) for the month subject to the SLA Commitment. (b) “Availability Percentage” means that percentage of time, measured monthly, calculated in accordance with the formula set out above. (c) “Normal Business Hours” means M-F 5:00am – 5:00pm Eastern US time (excluding US bank holidays). (d) “Scheduled Uptime Minutes” means the total minutes during Normal Business Hours in the applicable month. (e) “Unscheduled Outage Minutes” means minutes during Normal Business Hours during which Cyxtera does not meet the SLA Commitment for reasons other than scheduled maintenance or due to a Force Majeure event. 1.5. General Rules with respect to the SLA Commitment: (a) Hosted Services will be deemed available unless:
(i) a User gets an error response to an attempt to access the Hosted Services during two or more consecutive 90-second intervals, or (ii) data stored in the Hosted Services becomes inaccessible.
(b) Cyxtera will use best efforts to complete all scheduled maintenance outside of Normal Business Hours. Scheduled maintenance during Normal Business Hours must be (a) limited to no more than 15 minutes per incident, and no more than 2 incidents per month, and (b) upon no less than 3 days’ advance written notice to Licensee. If scheduled maintenance does not meet these criteria, the applicable time will be counted as Unscheduled Outage Minutes. (c) Emergency maintenance can occur when jointly agreed to by Licensee and Cyxtera. Cyxtera will provide maximum practical notice for such maintenance. Licensee’s agreement to such request may not be unreasonably withheld. (d) Cyxtera will not be liable to Licensee, or provide any SLA Credits for any failure to meet the SLA Commitment to the extent that such failure is attributable to the following: (a) acts, omissions or errors of Licensee or a third party, (b) breaches of the Agreement by Licensee, (c) failure of Licensee’s or a User’s software, hardware, systems or connections, or (d) Force Majeure.
