as its sole liability and Your sole remedy for third party intellectual property or property claims, defend

Services affected by the Infringement Claim with non-infringing Services that are functionally equivalent

of Titus’s other rights, Titus may terminate the Services hereunder if any of the foregoing is not cured

refundable. Customer agrees to pay all applicable charges specified for Services and charges for use

D. “Error” means a failure of the Services to conform to the Documentation. Error classifications will be
determined solely by Titus in reference to the business impact the issue has for the Customer.
1. An Error is a “Severity Level 1” where Customer's production use of a Titus Service is
stopped or is so severely impacted that the Customer cannot reasonably continue work. Severity Level 1
problems could have the following characteristics; system hangs or crash situations, data loss or data
corruption, critical functionality not available.
2. An Error is a “Severity Level 2” where important Service features are not functioning as
expected with no acceptable workaround, or Customer's implementation or production use of Titus
Services are functioning with limited capabilities or are unstable with periodic interruptions, or the
Services may be operating but are severely restricted. Severity Level 2 problems could have the
following characteristics; Service error or failure forcing a restart or recovery, severely degraded
performance, functionality unavailable but the Services are able to operate in a restricted fashion.
3. An Error is a “Severity Level 3” where Service features are unavailable but a workaround
exists and the majority of Service functions are still useable. These are minor function or feature failures
that the Customer can easily circumvent or avoid. Customer's work has minor loss of operational
functionality. Severity Level 3 problems could have the following characteristics; error message with
workaround, minimal performance degradation, incorrect product behavior with minor impact,
questions on product functionality or configuration during implementation.
4. An Error is a “Severity Level 4” where there is a minor problem or question that does
not affect the Services function such as ‘How To's’, Documentation, general questions, or enhancement
requests. There is no impact to Service usage or Customer's operations. Severity Level 4 problems could
have the following characteristics; general requests for advice on Service usage, clarification on Service
Documentation or release notes, Service enhancement requests.

EXHIBIT B
SERVICE LEVELS/OBJECTIVES
Titus will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve System Availability of at least 99.4% during
each calendar year of the Subscription Period.
Titus will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure all other Services will achieve System
Availability of at least 99.4% during each calendar year of the Subscription Period. “System Availability”
means the number of minutes in a year that the key components of the Services are operational as a
percentage of the total number of minutes in such year, excluding downtime resulting from: (a)
scheduled maintenance, (b) events of Force Majeure, (c) malicious attacks on the system, (d) issues
associated with the Customer’s computing devices, local area networks or internet service provider
connections, (e) inability to deliver Services because of acts or omissions of Customer, or (f) any other
cause beyond Titus’s control.
Titus reserves the right to take the Services offline for scheduled maintenance for which Customer has
been provided reasonable notice and Titus reserves the right to change its maintenance window upon
prior notice to Customer.
If Titus fails to meet System Availability in the calendar year, upon written request by Customer within
thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar year, Titus will issue a credit on Customer’s next invoice in
an amount equal to 1% of the yearly fee for the affected Services for each 1% loss of System Availability
below the stated Service level objective, up to a maximum of 5% the Customer’s fee for the affected
Services. If the yearly fee has been paid in advance, then at Customer’s election Titus shall provide a
credit to Customer to be used for additional users or term extension. The remedy stated in this
paragraph is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for interruption of Services or Titus’s failure to meet
the System Availability objective.

standard contractual clauses attached as Annex 1 hereto (the "Standard Contractual Clauses") in
the Service Provider’s capacity as a Processor to Customer. The Standard Contractual Clauses
apply to the extent that Customer’s establishment is located in the EEA and the Service Provider
is located in a country or territory outside the European Economic Area that does not or ceases
to ensure, at least for the relevant sector, an adequate level of protection within the meaning of
article 45 of the GDPR. The Standard Contractual Clauses, when they apply, take precedence over
the rest of this Addendum to the extent of any conflict relating to Personal Data of individuals
located in the EEA.
Annex 1
Commission Decision C(2010)593
Standard Contractual Clauses (processors)
For the purposes of Article 26(2) of Directive 95/46/EC for the transfer of personal data to processors
established in third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection
Customer (the data exporter)
And
Titus (the data importer)
each a “party”; together “the parties”,
HAVE AGREED on the following Contractual Clauses (the Clauses) in order to adduce adequate safeguards
with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals for the
transfer by the data exporter to the data importer of the personal data specified in Appendix 1.
Clause 1
Definitions
For the purposes of the Clauses:
(a) 'personal data', 'special categories of data', 'process/processing', 'controller', 'processor', 'data
subject' and 'supervisory authority' shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the
processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data1;
(b) 'the data exporter' means the controller who transfers the personal data;
(c) 'the data importer' means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal
data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the
terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country's system ensuring adequate protection
within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC;
(d) 'the subprocessor' means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other
subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other
subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be
carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms
of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;
1 Parties may reproduce definitions and meanings contained in Directive 95/46/EC within this Clause if they
considered it better for the contract to stand alone.

Details of the transfer
The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are
specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.
Clause 3
Third-party beneficiary clause

2. The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g),
Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually
disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal
obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the
rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such
entity.
3. The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g),
Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data
importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any
successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation
of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the
data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be
limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
4. The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if
the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law.
Clause 4

measures are appropriate to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or
accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves
the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing, and that these
measures ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks presented by the processing and the nature
of the data to be protected having regard to the state of the art and the cost of their implementation;
(e) that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;
(f) that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will
be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third
country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC;
(g) to forward any notification received from the data importer or any subprocessor pursuant to
Clause 5(b) and Clause 8(3) to the data protection supervisory authority if the data exporter decides to
continue the transfer or to lift the suspension;

Clause 5
Obligations of the data importer2
2 Mandatory requirements of the national legislation applicable to the data importer which do not go beyond
what is necessary in a democratic society on the basis of one of the interests listed in Article 13(1) of Directive
The data importer agrees and warrants:
(a) to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its
instructions and the Clauses; if it cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it agrees to inform
promptly the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend
the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
(b) that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the
instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event
of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and
obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it
is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the
contract;
(c) that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix
2 before processing the personal data transferred;
(d) that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:
(i) any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority
unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a
law enforcement investigation,
(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access, and
(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it
has been otherwise authorised to do so;
(e) to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing
of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with
regard to the processing of the data transferred;

processing activities covered by the Clauses which shall be carried out by the data exporter or an
inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional
qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality, selected by the data exporter, where applicable, in
agreement with the supervisory authority;
95/46/EC, that is, if they constitute a necessary measure to safeguard national security, defence, public security, the
prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences or of breaches of ethics for the regulated
professions, an important economic or financial interest of the State or the protection of the data subject or the rights
and freedoms of others, are not in contradiction with the standard contractual clauses. Some examples of such
mandatory requirements which do not go beyond what is necessary in a democratic society are, inter alia,
internationally recognised sanctions, tax-reporting requirements or anti-money-laundering reporting requirements.
(g) to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Clauses, or any existing contract
for subprocessing, unless the Clauses or contract contain commercial information, in which case it may
remove such commercial information;
(h) that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its
prior written consent;
(i) that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11;
(j) to send promptly a copy of any subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Clauses to the
data exporter.
Clause 6
Liability
1. The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the
obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive
compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
2. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1
against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their
obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or
ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue
a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed
the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data
subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own
liabilities.
3. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred
to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred
to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually
disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data
subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations
under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has
assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of
law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the
subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
Clause 7
Mediation and jurisdiction
1. The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights
and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of
the data subject:
(a) to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the
supervisory authority;
(b) to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
2. The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or
procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.
Clause 8
Cooperation with supervisory authorities
1. The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so
requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
2. The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data
importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as
would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
3. The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation
applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any
subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the
measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established,
namely France.
Clause 10
Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding
clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11
Subprocessing
1. The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of
the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the
data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it
shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations
on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses3. Where the subprocessor
fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain
fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such
agreement.
2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for
a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to
bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the
data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become
insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data
importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited
to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in
paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established,

Annex 2
Technical and Organisational Measures
Service Provider has in place the following technical and organizational measures regarding the Processing
of the Personal Data specified in Annex 1
1. Security Policy and Counsellor, Supervision, Inspection and Maintenance
Service Provider has drawn up a written policy in relation to data security. This policy includes a
description of how to manage security incidents, the awareness-raising process for the policy within the
organisation and the various responsibilities and organizational rules. It also specifies measures for
keeping the security system up-to-date.
The policy has been approved and shared within the organisation. A reassessment of the technical and
organisational measures is performed on a regular basis in order to ensure that the initial goals and the
measures taken remain up-to-date so that improvements can be made if necessary. The policy will be
adapted where necessary as a result of modifications or reassessment.
Service Provider has appointed a data protection officer (“DPO”) who oversees the implementation of the
policy.
2. Organization and Human Aspects of Security
Service Provider has made available adequate resources to organize data security.
• Information classification procedures have been elaborated. Whenever necessary, an
inventory can be drawn up and all Personal Data being processed can be localized,
irrespective of the type of data carrier.
• Guidelines on Personal Data protection have been distributed within the organisation in
order to ensure that all employees participating in the Processing of Personal Data are
sufficiently informed about their duties and responsibilities during Processing operations.
3. Access control to premises and facilities
Service Provider has implemented the following measures to avoid the access of unauthorised persons to
the carriers of Personal Data and computer systems by which the Personal Data is processed or used:
• Access to the involved data processing centres is regulated.
• All persons need to identify themselves to gain access to a data processing centre. This
requires an identity card issued by Service Provider. There are documented processes for
the issuing of identity cards by Service Provider. The ownership and the return of this
identity card is followed and examined.
• Records of visitors are made. Visitors are provided with temporary identity cards and need
to be accompanied by an employee of Service Provider to gain access to the data
processing centre.
• Only authorised employees of Service Provider have the right to get electronic access
cards for the processing centre.
• Standardised security measures exist and are carried out in the data processing centre
following industry recognized best practices including electronic access control systems
by card access, alarm systems, cameras and security staff. The equipment is inspected on
a regular basis.
4. Access control to systems and data
Service Provider takes the following measures to avoid the use by unauthorised persons of equipment by
which Personal Data is processed:
• Secured access connections and technologies for the authentication control are implemented to
regulate the access to Service Provider’s systems.
• Encryption is used to secure user authentications.
• Unique login names, strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and periodic examinations of
the access lists are used to ensure the appropriate use of user accounts. For critical systems,
separate individual accounts from the user’s regular accounts are applied. All groups which have
access to Service Provider’s services are controlled by a regular examination. All named measures
are described in a formalised concept of authorisation.
5. Access Authority Control
Service Provider ensures: (a) that authorized users who have access to the data processing systems for
the use as set out in Annex 1 can only access Personal Data within their processing authorization; and (b)
that the unauthorized reading, copying, change or deletion of Personal Data is excluded during use or
Processing or after the storing of Personal Data.
The granting of access rights is based on the job responsibilities of the user for the use as set out in Annex
1 and on a need-to-know basis and must be authorised and granted by management. The access to
productive systems is only granted to users who are periodically trained and authorised for the
corresponding action. The access to productive systems is also immediately withdrawn in case of a
termination of the contract of employment or in case of an assignment of a different task.
6. Disclosure control
Service Provider takes the following measures to ensure that Personal Data is not read, copied, altered or
removed during the process of electronic transmission, during the transport or storage of data on data
carriers.
• Remote access to data on Service Provider’s production machines depends on multi-factor
authentication.
• The transmission of Personal Data to and from the Service Provider’s network is completed with
the help of commonly accepted security and encryption technologies.
• The data processing systems are protected against the risk of intrusion with the help of suitable
software and hardware whose effectiveness and updating is checked periodically. Changes on the
hardware-based network components or on their configurations need management approval and
are subject to a change management process.
• Service Provider has a firewall configuration regulation which defines acceptable ports. Only used
ports and services are open. The access for the amendment of the firewall configuration is
restricted to an internal team of security experts. Such team regularly examines critical firewall
regulations.
7. Input control
Service Provider takes the following measures to ensure that it can be examined and determined
subsequently if and by whom Personal Data have been entered into data processing systems, altered or
removed:
• Effective input control is applied to ensure that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified
or re-modified without authorization in the course of Processing or use and after storage. All
access requests are logged, and their compliance is monitored.
8. Job control
Service Provider takes the following measures to ensure that the Processing of Personal Data is made in
correspondence with the instructions:
• The functions and obligations of individuals with access to the Personal Data are clearly defined,
updated and documented. Measures are adopted to make staff familiar and periodically trained
with respect to the specific rules applicable to their functions and the consequences of any breach
of these rules.
9. Availability control
Service Provider takes the following measures to ensure that Personal Data is protected against damage
by accident or loss:
• Personal Data is protected from accidental destruction or loss through effective retrieval systems,
disaster recovery and business continuity planning. Procedures include ensuring data can be
reconstructed in the state it was at the time it was last backed up.
10. Security Incident and Continuity Management
The security policy contains a precise description of the steps to be taken when a security incident relating
to Personal Data is detected in order to return to the normal situation as quickly as possible.
The procedure for reporting and managing security incidents includes a record of each incident, the time
at which it occurred, the person reporting it, to whom it was reported and the effects thereof.
The circumstances of any incident are to be analysed in order to elaborate preventive measures or make
adaptations to avoid a repetition of this type of incident.
11. Segregation control
Service Provider undertakes the following measures to separate the Processing of collected data for
different purposes:
• Each data Processing is made on server systems which are separated by a system of logical and
physical access controls in the network.
• The Personal Data Processing is only made for the purpose specified in this Agreement.
12. Documentation
The Service Provider has completed centralised documentation relating to security, which is complete and
formalized and shared with employees.
Documentation includes: the identity of the DPO, security policies, the implementation of security
measures, an inventory of the Personal Data being processed, their localisation and the operations
performed on them, listing of those having access to the data; system and network configuration,
technical documentation about the security controls, security control test plans, incident reports, audit
reports, if any.
