Security Schedule

All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Master Service Agreement, dated ______, 20__ executed by [INSERT VENDOR NAME] (“’Licensor”) and ______(“Licensee”) as may be amended from time to time (the “Agreement”). As of the effective date of the Agreement, Licensor shall have implemented, and shall thereafter maintain current, a comprehensive security policy or policies (“Security Policy”) that satisfies the requirements set forth below. Licensor agrees that it shall not make any change(s) to its Security Policy that effectively reduces or limits the rights or protections offered to Licensee under this Schedule or the Agreement generally.

Promptly upon execution of the Agreement by the parties and subsequently, upon request by Licensee on an annual basis, the Licensor shall provide Licensee’s Chief Information Security Officer or his or her designee with a copy of its Security Policy and an opportunity to discuss Licensor’s security measures with a qualified IT management member of Licensor.

1. Objectives. The Licensor shall exercise best efforts to implement data security measures that are consistent with applicable industry best practices and standards given the nature of the data and are designed to:

a. Protect the privacy, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all data which is disclosed by Licensee and/or Licensee’s Related Companies”) to, or otherwise comes into the possession of, the Licensor, its affiliates or sub-contractors, directly or indirectly as a result of this Agreement, including but not limited to Licensee’s Confidential Information and any Licensee Data (collectively, “Licensee Data”) ;

b. Protect against accidental, unauthorized, unauthenticated, or unlawful access, copying, use, processing, disclosure, alteration, transfer, loss or destruction of the Licensee Data including, but not limited to, identity theft;

c. Comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules, regulations, directives and decisions (each, to the extent having the force of law) that are relevant to the handling, processing and use of Licensee Data by Licensee or Licensor, on Licensee’s behalf, in accordance with this Agreement;

d. Manage, controls and remediates any threats identified in the Risk Assessments findings that could result in unauthorized access, copying, use, processing, disclosure, alteration, transfer, loss or destruction of any of the Licensee Data, including without limitation identity theft; and

e. Comply with and implements the risk policies listed in this Schedule, together with the data protection and confidentiality obligations of the Agreement and, subject to Section 5 below, any other relevant Licensee security policies, procedures and standards notified to the Licensor from time to time (the “Licensee Security Policies”).

2. Risk Assessments.

a. The Licensor shall perform regular (and in any event no less frequently than at every twelve month intervals) robust, comprehensive internal or external risk assessments which include, among other things, several methods of risk identification and evaluation and remediation tracking and verification that:

(1) identify reasonably foreseeable threats that could result in unauthorized access, copying, use, processing, disclosure, alteration, transfer, loss or destruction of any of the Licensee Data;

(2) assess the likelihood of these threats occurring, and the potential damage that might result, taking into consideration the sensitivity of the relevant types or categories of Licensee Data (and any special risks or issues identified by Licensee); and

(3) assess the sufficiency of the security measures, policies, and procedures, information systems, technology, and other arrangements that the Licensor has in place to control such risks (“Risk Assessments”).

b. The Licensor shall notify Licensee in advance of the performance of any Risk Assessments and shall provide Licensee with the written (high level summary) results, upon request. If at any time Licensee, in its reasonable opinion, believes that vulnerabilities or threats identified in the Risk Assessment findings have not been sufficiently resolved despite remediation efforts by Licensor or that other vulnerabilities or security threats may exist, Licensor shall employ an independent third party expert, jointly selected by both parties, to perform a follow-up risk assessment to determine whether Licensor has cured its failure to meet its obligations hereunder or remediated the deficiencies to Licensee’s satisfaction. Licensee shall pay the costs of such follow-up Risk Assessments, except where the additional Risk Assessment was required to assess whether the Licensor had sufficiently resolved vulnerabilities in its systems or processes, in which case the Licensor shall bear the cost of the Risk Assessment. In the event that Licensor’s information technology controls as detailed in any of the Risks Assessments does not satisfy any of Licensor’s obligations under its Security Policy, Licensor shall remediate its information technology controls in a timely manner. Licensor shall provide to Licensee any available reports prepared by independent auditors as to Licensors’ controls and security requirements. Upon request by Licensee, Licensor agrees that it shall make available qualified senior management of Licensor and, if also requested, subcontractors, responsible for security and data protection to discuss any assessment report and its findings and any remedial plans to address deficiencies.

c. Licensor shall permit one or more Licensee Personnel or agents prior to engaging Licensor to perform Services described in any Requisition, and at such other times as reasonably requested, to conduct one or more penetration tests on information systems and network having access to, or holding or containing Licensee Data to verify that Licensor is employing appropriate administrative, technical and procedural access controls and system security requirements and devices necessary to protect Licensee Data Information in Licensor’s possession or control from threats or hazards to the privacy, confidentiality or integrity of the Licensee Data.

3. Security Measures.

a. Based on any Risk Assessment findings and other requirements of the Agreement, the Licensor shall develop (or modify, as appropriate), implement and maintain appropriate security measures and procedures (which shall be reflected in an up-dated Security Policy, to be provided to Licensee’s Chief Information Security Officer or his or her designee for Licensee' approval) so as to achieve the objectives set forth in Section 1 above and to manage and control the risks identified during the Risk Assessment, commensurate with the sensitivity of the Licensee Data, as well as the complexity and scope of the activities of the Licensor pursuant to the Agreement.

b. Such security measures and procedures shall include (but shall not be limited to) administrative, physical, technical, procedural and organizational safeguards appropriate to:

(1) the nature of the Licensee Data involved, including the quality, quantity, and age of the data, and the sensitivity of the data,
