GE DIGITAL OFFERINGS

Section 4.01 Products. Xxxxx Xxxxxx may submit Orders to GE Digital for Products, including, without limitation, the Products identified on Schedule 2.01(a), subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Order. If accepted by GE Digital, which acceptance shall be consistent with Section 2.01(d), such Orders shall be binding upon the Parties and incorporate the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any purchase order, order receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, online terms, or other confirmatory documents presented by Xxxxx Xxxxxx or GE Digital shall be deemed to be presented for payment purposes only and each Party specifically objects to, and shall not be bound by, any additional or different terms contained in such documents. Any GE Digital Offerings that are provided by third parties are subject to any written agreements between GE Digital and such third parties. GE Digital shall provide Xxxxx Xxxxxx copies of any such agreements upon Order to the extent they impose any obligations on Xxxxx Xxxxxx. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 7.05, Orders may be based on requests for Products that Xxxxx Xxxxxx receives from Xxxxx Xxxxxx Customers. If such an Order is entered into by the Parties, GE Digital shall provide the requested Products to Xxxxx Xxxxxx to pass on to the requesting Xxxxx Xxxxxx Customer.

Section 4.02 GE Hosted Services.

(a) GE Digital shall provide Xxxxx Xxxxxx with access to the GE Hosted Services in accordance with any applicable Order and GE Digital’s standard product documentation, including the product specific terms described in Schedule 4.05(a) (“Hosted Services Documentation”). Xxxxx Xxxxxx agrees to use the GE Hosted Services solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Hosted Services Documentation and the applicable Order.

(b) GE Hosted Services shall be made accessible to Xxxxx Xxxxxx by means of remote connection. The date of delivery shall be deemed to be the date when GE Digital makes the GE Hosted Services available to Xxxxx Xxxxxx and reasonably communicates that availability to Xxxxx Xxxxxx. GE Digital represents and warrants that (i) any Xxxxx Xxxxxx account-level credentials provided to Xxxxx Xxxxxx or its Affiliates or established by Xxxxx Xxxxxx or its Affiliates for accessing the GE Hosted Services shall not be used by GE Digital other than as necessary to provide the GE Hosted Services with the consent of Xxxxx Xxxxxx and (ii) all credentials provided to Xxxxx Xxxxxx or its Affiliates or established by Xxxxx Xxxxxx or its Affiliates for accessing the GE Hosted Services shall not be made available to any unauthorized third party and that GE Digital shall hold such credentials in confidence as Confidential Information pursuant to Section 11.02.

(c) GE Digital may change, discontinue, or deprecate any of the GE Hosted Services (including individual services or the GE Hosted Services as a whole) or change or remove features or functionality of the GE Hosted Services or revise the applicable Hosted Services Documentation, from time to time and in a manner consistent with the treatment of other GE Industrial Businesses. If such change, discontinuation, or deprecation is more than de minimis, GE Digital shall promptly (but in no event less notice than reasonable notice and no less

Page 19 of 42

notice than GE Digital provides other GE Industrial Businesses) notify Xxxxx Xxxxxx in writing of all updates or changes to the GE Hosted Services. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, GE Digital may change, terminate, or discontinue all or a portion of the GE Hosted Services with the required notice in a manner consistent with the treatment of other GE Industrial Businesses if: GE Digital’s relationship with a third-party provider of such GE Hosted Services terminates, expires, or requires GE Digital to change the way GE Digital provides a portion of the GE Hosted Services; if required to comply with Law or requests or government entities; or if GE Digital determines that use of the GE Hosted Services by Xxxxx Xxxxxx or the provision of the GE Hosted Services to Xxxxx Xxxxxx is prohibited or impractical due to any applicable Law. If GE Digital changes, discontinues or adds to the technical support plans generally provided to other GE Industrial Businesses, GE Digital may change, discontinue, or add to the technical support plans for the GE Hosted Services from time to time by posting a notice to the Web site where such technical support plans are described and, if such change is more than de minimis, promptly notifying the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Services Manager in writing with the notice period given to the other GE Industrial Businesses.

(d) A Statement of Work or Order may specify usage or deployment limitations relating to the GE Hosted Services. GE Digital may enforce such usage limitations by technical or resource restrictions. If a usage limitation designated in a Statement of Work or Order is based on limitations or entitlements not monitored by GE Digital, then Xxxxx Xxxxxx agrees to limit its usage only to the designated scope or notify GE Digital if such limitations are exceeded. Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall use the GE Hosted Services solely for the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Business as permitted by this Agreement and shall not license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time share or otherwise commercially exploit the GE Hosted Services or make the GE Hosted Services available to any third party, other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement, including in Section 4.06, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by GE Digital.

(e) Xxxxx Xxxxxx acknowledges that the GE Hosted Services are dependent upon the Internet and are therefore not intended for real time or ultra hazardous activities, and, unless agreed to in writing by the Parties, Xxxxx Xxxxxx agrees not to use the GE Hosted Services to control the operation of any nuclear power facility or life support equipment. Unless agreed to in writing by the Parties, Xxxxx Hughes’s indemnification obligations with respect to this Section 4.02(e) shall be in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 4.02(e).

(f) GE Digital may suspend Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ right to access or use any portion or all of the GE Hosted Services immediately upon written notice to Xxxxx Xxxxxx if Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ use of or registration for the GE Hosted Services (i) is unlawful, fraudulent, or prohibited by any applicable Law, (ii) poses a material security threat to the GE Hosted Services, GE Digital, GE Digital’s Affiliates, or any third party, (iii) compromises, in the event of a cyber incident, GE Digital’s information technology-related resources, (iv) materially and adversely impacts the integrity of the GE Hosted Services or the systems or content of any other customer of GE Digital, or (v) violates the Acceptable Use Policy (unless and except as otherwise allowed for herein or by another Transaction Document) or acts in a manner inconsistent with Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ responsibilities as set forth in Section 4.03.

Section 4.03 Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ Responsibilities.

(a) As between the Parties, except as set forth herein, Xxxxx Xxxxxx is solely responsible for the development, content, operation, maintenance, and use of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content and Monitored Equipment. As between the Parties, Xxxxx Xxxxxx is responsible for securing all necessary rights and permissions to provide Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content to GE Digital and to use Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content or Monitored Equipment with the GE Hosted Services. Xxxxx Xxxxxx is solely responsible for the condition, maintenance, and use of Monitored Equipment. For example, as between the parties, Xxxxx Xxxxxx is solely responsible for:

(i) the technical operation of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content, including ensuring that calls Xxxxx Xxxxxx makes to or from any Xxxxx Xxxxxx application or service are compatible with the GE Hosted Services;

(ii) compliance of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content with the Acceptable Use Policy, Data Protection Plan, and applicable Hosted Services Documentation, unless and except as otherwise allowed for herein or by another Transaction Document;

(iii) compliance by Xxxxx Xxxxxx with all applicable Laws, executive orders and court orders in using the GE Hosted Services;

(iv) any claims relating to Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content, except for a) claims arising from any unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful loss, access, or disclosure of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content from the GE Hosted Services that is unrelated to any act or omission by Xxxxx Xxxxxx or b) Xxxxx Xxxxxx Infringement Claims (as defined in Section 8.05(a));

(v) the operation, control, and maintenance of Monitored Equipment and ensuring that Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ computer systems and Monitored Equipment meet the technical requirements for the GE Hosted Services;

(vi) the accuracy and completeness of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content; and

(vii) proper handling and processing of notices sent to Xxxxx Xxxxxx (or any of Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ Affiliates) by any person claiming that Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content violates such person’s rights, including notices pursuant to the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act or similar laws of other countries.

(b) Xxxxx Xxxxxx is responsible for properly configuring and using the GE Hosted Services and taking Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ own steps to maintain appropriate backup of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content or arrange for such a backup with GE Digital pursuant to a separate agreement the terms of which shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, which may include routine archiving of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content. Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ credentials (which may include username, passwords, tokens, certificates, keys, and pins) issued by GE Digital or selected by Xxxxx Xxxxxx for accessing the GE Hosted Services are for Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ internal use only and Xxxxx Xxxxxx may not share, sell, transfer, or sublicense them to any other entity or person, except that Xxxxx Xxxxxx may disclose Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ credentials to Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ agents and subcontractors performing work on Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ behalf. Other than as set forth herein to the contrary, Xxxxx Xxxxxx is responsible for any use of Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ credentials and for notifying

Page 21 of 42

GE Digital promptly of any breach of security related to Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ credentials of which it becomes aware. Xxxxx Xxxxxx is responsible for complying with all security requirements communicated to Xxxxx Xxxxxx in writing for securing Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content in connection with using the GE Hosted Services. Each Party is deemed to have taken any action that such Party knowingly permits, assists, or facilitates any user or any other person or entity to take related to this Agreement, Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ Content or the GE Hosted Services. Neither Xxxxx Xxxxxx nor its users shall tamper with or take any action to circumvent any security feature or attempt to exceed authorized access to the GE Hosted Services or its related systems or networks; interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance (other than performance degradation by normal use) of the GE Hosted Services or the data contained therein; or knowingly or recklessly send or store material containing software viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents or programs. If Xxxxx Xxxxxx becomes aware of any violation of this Agreement by a user, Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall immediately address such violations, up to and including terminating such user’s access to Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content and the GE Hosted Services and concurrently notify GE Digital and Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall use its reasonable efforts in good faith to cooperate with GE Digital in investigating any such apparent violation of this Agreement. If GE Digital becomes aware of any apparent unauthorized access to the GE Hosted Services or its related systems or networks, GE Digital shall promptly conduct an investigation and address such violation, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall use its reasonable efforts in good faith to cooperate with GE Digital in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to the GE Hosted Services or its related systems or networks.

(c) Except as expressly provided in a Statement of Work or Order, Xxxxx Xxxxxx is solely responsible for providing Internet connectivity for Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ facilities and Monitored Equipment as necessary to access and use the GE Hosted Services (including all ISP charges). GE Digital does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from GE Digital’s network and other portions of the Internet. Such flow depends in large part on the performance of Internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions of such third parties can impair or disrupt their Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ connections to the Internet (or portions thereof). Although GE Digital shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions it deems appropriate to remedy and avoid such events, GE Digital cannot guarantee that such events will not occur.

(d) If specified on GE Digital’s Web sites for the GE Hosted Services, third parties may offer independent services, including hosted application services (“Third-Party Services”), directly to Xxxxx Xxxxxx under a separate agreement, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ written acceptance of such offers constitutes a separate agreement solely between Xxxxx Xxxxxx and the third-party provider thereof. If Xxxxx Xxxxxx subscribes to Third-Party Services, Xxxxx Xxxxxx consents to GE Digital sharing with the third-party provider, subject to confidentiality terms contained in any agreements with such third party provider: (i) Xxxxx Xxxxxx contact and account information, (ii) Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content in connection with Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ use of the Third-Party Services, and (iii) additional information, if any, disclosed in writing to Xxxxx Xxxxxx in connection with the Third-Party Services.

(e) The above terms and conditions apply to Xxxxx Xxxxxx when using the GE Hosted Services for its internal use and to Xxxxx Xxxxxx Customers when using Xxxxx Xxxxxx Applications hosted or provided using the GE Hosted Services. When Xxxxx Xxxxxx

Page 22 of 42

uses the GE Hosted Services to host and provide a Xxxxx Xxxxxx Application to a Xxxxx Xxxxxx Customer, Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall cause such Xxxxx Xxxxxx Customer to agree to terms and conditions that are substantially similar to those terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Orders that are applicable to the GE Hosted Services. Xxxxx Xxxxxx also may provide Xxxxx Xxxxxx Applications to Xxxxx Xxxxxx Customers under additional or different terms and conditions, provided that there is no material change to the scope of use upon which any pricing assumptions are based, and provided further that, subject to Section 8.06, Xxxxx Xxxxxx indemnifies, defends, and holds GE Digital and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from all costs, liabilities, and obligations caused by any third party claim (except a Xxxxx Xxxxxx Infringement Claim) to the extent arising from such additional or different terms and conditions.

Where there is a conflict between the Data Protection Plan and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

With respect to Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content, GE Digital shall act as the data processor of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content in accordance with Xxxxx Xxxxxx’ instructions as contemplated by this Agreement. If Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content includes any data subject to specific legal or regulatory requirements (including, but not limited to, health care data, sensitive personal information, export-controlled data, or sensitive government data), then Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall be responsible for determining whether any GE Hosted Service meets such requirements, unless GE Digital has expressly stated in this Agreement, a Statement of Work or an Order that the Service is designed to meet such requirements. However, Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall be entitled to rely upon written statements from GE Digital as to the features of any GE Hosted Service in order to make any such determination.

(b) Subject to any third-party restrictions or Intellectual Property rights, Xxxxx Xxxxxx consents to GE Digital’s collection, use, and disclosure of information associated with the Services as described in this Agreement and the applicable Data Protection Plan, and in particular to the processing of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content in, and the transfer of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Content into, any country in which GE Digital or GE Digital’s Affiliates or subcontractors maintain facilities (including the United States), but only to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
