In the event of a Security Incident, Oracle will: (i) notify Customer in accordance with Oracle's obligations under applicable law or regulatory requirement, to the extent an applicable security breach law applies to such Security Incident; and (ii) perform a penetration test after corrective actions are implemented, if applicable, with a test results summary to be provided to Customer, and such test results to be deemed Oracle Confidential Information.
Incidents involving Personal Information shall be managed according to the provisions set forth within the Oracle Data Processing Agreement.
## F. Change Management
Oracle maintains a change management policy to ensure changes to the organization, business processes, information processing facilities and systems that affect information security are controlled.
## G. Server Operating Systems
Oracle servers will use a hardened operating system implementation customized for the Cloud Service. Oracle will maintain a risk-based prioritized patch management policy.
## H. Access Control and Privilege Management
Oracle employs systems and processes to limit physical and logical access based on least privileges and segregation of duties to ensure critical data can only be accessed by authorized Oracle personnel.
## I. User Accounts: Passwords, Access and Notification
Customer will have control over the creation, deletion, and suspension of User roles within the Cloud Service, as documented in the applicable Cloud Service User Guides. The Cloud Service allows Customer to perform administrative functions.
Customer shall authorize access to and assign unique passwords and user names to its Users. Customer will be responsible for the confidentiality and use of User's passwords and user names. Customer will also be responsible for all Electronic Communications, including those containing business information, account registration, account holder information, financial information, Customer Data, and all other data of any kind contained within emails or otherwise entered electronically through the Cloud Servic e or under Customer's account. Oracle will act as though any Electronic Communications it receives under Customer's passwords, user name, and/or account number will have been sent by Customer. Customer shall use commercially

## L. Network Connectivity Security Requirements
Oracle will protect its infrastructure with multiple levels of secure network devices. All remote access to the Cloud Service environments by Oracle personnel that have access to Customer Data must be through one or a combination of the following: virtual private network, multi-factor authentication, mutual authentication, client trust scoring, or other authentication methods with an equal or higher level of security.
## M. Audits and Certifications
The following security audits and certifications are relevant to the Cloud Service, as set forth below:
- i. PCI-DSS. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ( ' PCI DSS ' ) is a worldwide information security standard for organizations that handle branded credit cards such as Visa, Master Card, American Express, etc. The PCI standards are mandated by the card brands and run by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. During the Services Period of the applicable Order, Oracle shall maintain PCI DSS compliance for those portions of the Cloud Service that are designated by Oracle as being designed to store and process credit card data.
2. Customer is responsible for ensuring that its use of the Cloud Service to store or process credit card data complies with applicable PCI DSS requirements and shall not store credit card and social security data in the Cloud Service except in the designated encrypted fields for such data. Any changes made to the Cloud Service by or on behalf of Customer may affect Customer's compliance with PCI DSS requirements and Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that any such changes are compliant with PCI DSS requirements.
- ii. SOC Report Attestations. The American Institute of CPAs ( ' AICPA ' ) has established System and Organization Controls ( ' SOC ' ) frameworks for evaluating and reporting on the effectiveness of a service organization's controls that address specific user needs. With respect to the Cloud Service, Oracle shall ensure performance of annual third-party attestation reports completed in accordance with the AICPA and IFAC Standards for Assurance Engagements:
- a. Oracle shall ensure performance of an annual SOC 1 / ISAE 3402 Type II report.

- iii. ISO 27001. ISO 27001 is a leading international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization ( ' ISO ' ) and the International Electrotechnical Commission ( ' IEC ' ) for measuring information security management systems ( ' ISMS ' ). This standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving a documented ISMS.
2. Oracle shall ensure performance of a third-party certification audit of Oracle's ISMS against the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard.
- iv. Customer may submit a request to their account executive for a copy of Oracle's final: a) SOC 1 / ISAE 3402 Type II report; b) SOC 2 Type II report; and (c) ISO 27001 certificate and Statement of Applicability ( ' SOA ' ). Any such reports, certificates and supporting documentation provided by Oracle in connection with this Section I.M.iv are deemed Oracle Confidential Information.
- v. If similar third-party audits, standards and/or certifications become available in the future, Oracle may choose to perform such audit and/or certify to such established industry standard selected by Oracle in place of those in this Section I.M.
## N. Data Center Environments and Physical Security
The following is a general description of Oracle's various data center environments and efforts to ensure physical security in these environments.
Data centers running Cloud Services in Oracle Cloud I nfrastructure (' OCI ') are governed by Section 1.2, ' Physical Security Safeguards ', and Section 2.1, ' Oracle Cloud Services High Availability Strategy ', of the Oracle Cloud Hosting and Delivery Policies which are found at www.oracle.com/contracts/cloud-services or other URL as designated by Oracle.
## O. Disaster Recovery
Oracle maintains an internal Disaster Recovery plan (' Internal DR Plan ') intended to provide service restoration capability of Customer's production accounts in the event of a disaster, as declared by Oracle in its sole discretion. If Oracle determines that an event constitutes a disaster requiring execution of its Internal DR Plan, Oracle will work to restore the production environments of the affected Cloud Service.
Recovery Time Objective: Recovery Time Objective ( ' RTO ') is Oracle's objective for the maximum period of time between Oracle's decision to activate the processes described herein and the point at which Customer can resume production operations in an alternative site. If the decision to activate disaster recovery processes is made during the period in which an upgrade is in process, the disaster recovery process is initiated and completed first, followed by completion of the upgrade.
Recovery Point Objective: Recovery Point Objective ( ' RPO ') is Oracle's objective for the maximum period of data loss measured as the time from which the first transaction is lost until the time the disaster occurs (as recognized by Oracle). The RPO does not apply to any data loads that are underway when the disaster occurs.
Unless otherwise specified in the Exceptions Policy, (1) the RTO for the Cloud Services is 12 hours and (2) the RPO for the Cloud Services is 1 hour.
If the Cloud Service fails to achieve the RTO, Customer will be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to a service credit for use of the Cloud Service in accordance with the terms set forth in Section III. (Oracle NetSuite Service Level Commitment).
Customer may experience some delays in the operation of the Cloud Service for the duration of the disaster event.
During active failover events or recovery operations, Oracle's delivery of non -critical bug fixes and enhancement requests are suspended.
## P. Risk Assessments
Oracle shall perform a risk assessment of the Cloud Service every year. This assessment shall include an evaluation of risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Data which resides on the Cloud Service and a documented plan to correct or mitigate those risks in its security policy to an acceptable residual-risk level as determined by Oracle, in its sole discretion.
## Q. Handling of Personal Information
Oracle will process Personal Information as part of the provision of its Services in accordance with the applicable Agreement and will be responsible for the compliance of its respective obligations under the applicable data protection laws. In handling and processing of Personal Information, Oracle shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Information.
## R. Sensitive Data
Customer is responsible for ensuring sensitive data (e.g., social security numbers, credit card numbers) are only stored in the appropriate designated fields for such data.
## S. Use of Services
The Cloud Service may not be delivered to, or accessed by, Users in Venezuela, nor may the Cloud Service or any output from the Services be used for the benefit of any individuals or entities in Venezuela including, without limitation, the Government of Venezuela.
## T. Data Retrieval and Deletion at Termination.
Prior to termination, Customer should retrieve Customer Data they wish to retain while Customer still has access to the Cloud Service. Oracle will provide Customer with access to their account for the purpose of data retrieval upon Customer's request withi n 60 days following termination of the Cloud Services ('Retrieval Period'). If Customer needs assistance from Oracle to retrieve Customer Data, Customer can request assistance, subject to additional fees, through their account manager.
Upon termination of the Cloud Services, Customer Data residing in the production Cloud Services environments is retained in disabled or inactive status during the Retrieval Period. Upon expiry of the Retrieval Period, the Customer Data is queued for deletion. Within ten (10) months following the expiration of the Retrieval Period, and except as may be required by law, Oracle will delete or render inaccessible all Customer Data in the production Cloud Services environments maintained by Oracle in providing the Cloud Services procured on the Estimate/Order Form.

## E. SECTION II EXCEPTIONS & EXCLUSIONS.
Please refer to the Oracle NetSuite Exceptions to the Hosting & Support Delivery Policies document found at https://www.oracle.com/corporate/contracts/cloud-services/netsuite/ for exceptions and exclusions to Section II.
## III. ORACLE NETSUITE SERVICE LEVEL COMMITMENT
During the Term, the Cloud Service will meet the service level specified herein. If the Cloud Service fails to achieve the service level, then Customer will be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to a credit for the Cloud Service in accordance with the terms set forth herein.
## A. Service Availability
Oracle commits to provide 99.7% availability with respect to the Cloud Service ordered by Customer during each calendar month of the Services Period for the applicable Order, excluding scheduled maintenance times (' Service Availability '). If, in any calendar month, this Service Availability is not met by Oracle, and Customer was negatively impacted (attempted to log into or access the Cloud Service and failed due to Unplanned Downtime, as defined below), Oracle shall provide, as the sole and exclusive remedy, a Service Credit based on the monthly fee for the use of the Cloud Service, as follows:
| Service Availability | <99.7% and >= 99.5% | <99.5% and >= 99.0% | < 99.0% |
|------------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------|
| Service Credit | 10% | 15% | 25% |
Oracle measures the Service Availability over each calendar month by dividing the difference between the total number of minutes in the monthly measurement period and any Unplanned Downtime by the total number of minutes in the measurement period and multiplying the result by 100 to reach a percent figure. ' Unplanned Downtime ' means any time during which a problem with the Cloud Service would prevent Customer from logging in or accessing the Cloud Service. Oracle shall calculate any Unplanned Downtime usi ng Oracle's system logs and other records. Unplanned Downtime does not include any time during which the Cloud Service is not available due to any suspension or termination of the applicable Cloud Service, or any other unavailability or performance issue that results from Customer's and/or a third -party's equipment, software, services, or other technology (other than third party equipment or services within Oracle's direct control).
## B. Scheduled and Unscheduled Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance does not count as Unplanned Downtime for the purposes of calculating a Service Credit as shown in the table above. Maintenance is considered to be 'scheduled' if it is communicated (i) in accordance with Section III.E (Notice), set forth below, and (ii) at least two full business days in advance of the scheduled maintenance time, although Oracle strives to communicate scheduled maintenance at least a week in advance when possible. Scheduled maintenance usually occurs outside of regular business hours for each region and generally accounts for less than 15 hours each quarter. In addition to any other scheduled maintenance Oracle may communicate, every Saturday night between 10:00pm - 10:20pm Pacific Time is reserved for scheduled maintenance as may be needed.
Oracle, in its sole discretion, may take the Cloud Service down for unscheduled maintenance, and in that event will attempt to notify Customer in advance in accordance with Section III.E. (Notice) set forth below. Unscheduled maintenance will be included in Unplanned Downtime and counted against the Service Availability set forth above.
## C. Service Credit Request
In order to receive a Service Credit as described herein, Customer must email Oracle at billing@netsuite.com to request a Service Credit within 30 calendar days from the end of the month in which the Service Availability was not met, and Customer must provide details of the claim, as reasonably requested by Oracle. Any claim request which is successfully submitted will receive a response indicating the request was received. If Customer does not receive this response, the claim is deemed not received by Oracle and Customer must resubmit their claim in order for Oracle to consider the request for a Service Credit. Customers with accounts that are past due or in default to Oracle with respect to any payment or any material contractual obligations are not eligible for any Service Credit under this Service Level Commitment. The Service Credit is valid for up to two years from the quarter for which the credit is issued.
## D. Updates
This Section III of the Hosting Policies (Oracle NetSuite Service Level Commitment) may be amended at any time by Oracle in its discretion. Updates will be effective 30 days after providing notice to Customer in accordance with Section III.E. (Notice) below.
## E. Notice
