Unless specifically defined in this Schedule, or specifically defined by reference to an Appendix or Schedule to the Agreement or Side Agreement, capitalized terms used in this Schedule shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement.

(i) Definitions.

a. “Customer Confidential Information”means Confidential Information of the Customer provided to Computershare.

b. “Firewall”is an integrated collection of security measures used to protect against unauthorized electronic access to a networked computer system.

c. “Encryption”is a process of using an algorithm to transform data into coded information in order to protect confidentiality.

d. “Intrusion Detection Process”(or“IDP”)is a method of reviewing system logs and processes in near real time and, without unreasonable delay, alerting management to known patterns of behavior that indicate an intrusion is occurring or is likely to take place soon.

(ii) Breach Notification and Remediation.

In the event of an actual security breach incident involving Computershare’s systems or network that has resulted in unauthorized access to or disclosure of, or have any material adverse effect on, Customer Confidential Information(“Incident”),Computershare shall:

a. Within two business days after the confirmation by Computershare of the occurrence of an Incident, notify a Lead for Global Provider Services (as defined inSchedule 4 of the Side Agreement) by telephone and subsequently in writing. Notice shall include the approximate date and time of the Incident and a summary of all relevant facts along with the actions taken to rectify the Processes and address the Incident’s effects. An Incident may include, but is not limited to, instances in which Computershare’s personnel(“Computershare Personnel”)access systems in excess of their user rights or otherwise use the systems inappropriately;

b. Immediately implement commercially reasonable measures necessary to ensure the security of Computershare’s systems and restore the security of Customer Confidential Information. If such measures include temporarily restricting access to any of Computershare’s information, network or systems in order to mitigate against further breaches, Computershare shall notify Customer of the restricted access, in advance of such restriction when possible but in all cases as soon as possible. Customer may request additional steps of Computershare relating to Computershare’s Processes and to address the Incident’s effects.
