THIS SECURITY SERVICES CUSTOMER MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (“MSA”) is entered into by SecureWorks, Inc. (“Spyglass”) and Dell USA L.P., on behalf of itself, Dell Inc., and Dell Inc.’s direct and indirect Subsidiaries (collectively, “Customer” or “Dell”), as of the Effective Date (as defined by the latest date in the signature blocks below). “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any party (the “parent”), (a) any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other entity the accounts of which would be consolidated with those of the parent in the parent’s consolidated financial statements if such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as (b) any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other entity of which securities or other ownership interests representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity or more than fifty percent (50%) of the ordinary voting power or, in the case of a partnership, more than fifty percent (50%) of the general partnership interests are, as of such date, owned, controlled or held by the parent or one or more subsidiaries of the parent. This MSA governs the relationship between Spyglass and Customer with regard to the purchase and sale of the Services (as defined below). Spyglass and Customer hereby agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Services; Equipment and Order of Precedence.
1.1 Services. During the term of this MSA and subject to the terms and conditions herein, Spyglass agrees to provide certain: (i) managed security services (“MSS Services”), and/or (ii) security risk consulting services (“Consulting Services”) purchased by Customer in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.1. The MSS Services being purchased shall be specified in one or more service order(s) (“Service Order(s)”) executed by the parties and the Consulting Services being purchased shall be specified in one or more statement(s) of work (“SOW(s)”) executed by the parties. A detailed description of the MSS Services being purchased is provided in the service description and service level agreement (“SLA”) for such MSS Services attached to each Service Order and incorporated therein by reference. All signed Services Orders and SOWs are subject to the terms and conditions of this MSA and will include the following: (i) the particular Services to be performed, including, if applicable, any SLAs; (i) the term of the Services; (iii) the compensation and billing method for the Services; and (iv) any other applicable information agreed to by the parties. The MSS Services and Consulting Services are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Services”.
1.2 Equipment. Except for equipment or hardware purchased by Customer pursuant to a Service Order (“Customer Purchased Equipment”), Spyglass will provide the equipment or hardware as necessary for Customer to receive the MSS Services (“Equipment”). Each Service Order will specify whether such equipment or hardware is Customer Purchased Equipment and/or Equipment. Upon the earlier of the termination or expiration of this MSA and/or the applicable Service Order, Customer will return all Equipment to Spyglass and/or shall erase, destroy and cease use of all Software (as defined in Section 5 below) located on any Customer Purchased Equipment. If such Equipment is not returned by Customer, Customer will be responsible for the then-current replacement costs of such Equipment.
1.3 Order of Precedence. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the MSA and a Service Order/SOW (including any exhibits or attachments thereto), the terms of the Service Order/SOW shall govern but only as regards such Service Order/SOW.
1.4 Scope of Services; Dell Customer Agreement. Customer may purchase Services for its internal use. In addition, Customer may purchase Services to be provided to third parties (“Dell Customers”), by or on behalf of Dell, in connection with Dell’s provision of complex, bundled services (such Services, the “Customer Deliverables”). In certain instances Customer Deliverables may be delivered to Dell Customers by Spyglass as Dell’s subcontractor. Before any Customer Deliverables are sold, delivered or provided to a Dell Customer, Dell and Dell Customer will execute and deliver a valid and
binding written agreement (a “Dell Customer Agreement”) containing, at a minimum, terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth on Exhibit A (the “Standard Spyglass Terms”). In the event Dell Customer will not agree to the Standard Spyglass Terms, Dell and Spyglass will work together in good faith to arrive at commercially reasonable alternative terms and conditions (“Alternative Spyglass Terms”) that are agreeable to Dell Customer and that will be included in the Dell Customer Agreement; provided, however, that in the event Dell and Spyglass cannot reach agreement on Alternative Spyglass Terms, if Dell nonetheless sells, delivers or provides Customer Deliverables to Dell Customer pursuant to terms agreed on by and between Dell and Dell Customer (such terms, the “Non-Standard Terms”), the difference between the Standard Spyglass Terms and the Non-Standard Terms will constitute “Missing Terms” for purposes of this MSA.
The parties agree that there will be no cross warranties, liabilities or obligations established with or for any Dell Customer, and each party shall be solely accountable for any warranties, liabilities or obligations it establishes, incurs or undertakes with any Dell Customer. Except as is otherwise set forth in the Standard Spyglass Terms or any agreed upon Alternative Spyglass Terms, Dell, without the express written approval of Spyglass, will not make any representations, warranties or statements regarding the Services or as to quality, merchantability, compatibility, fitness, non-infringement or other matter, other than those contained in the sales and marketing literature and promotional materials that may be provided to Dell by Spyglass. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Spyglass reserves the right to refuse to provide Services to any Dell Customer if Spyglass determines in its reasonable discretion that such Dell Client is inappropriate or unacceptable. Spyglass will provide prompt notice to Dell of such refusal.
If and to the extent that the MSS Services require Spyglass to be present at the Dell Customer’s and/or Dell’s premises, Spyglass shall communicate the same and Dell shall reimburse Spyglass for all reasonable, actual out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to shipping, travel expense, hotel and meals, incurred in connection with the implementation, performance or delivery of the MSS Services.
2. Service Fees; Taxes; Invoicing and Payment.
2.1 Fees. MSS Services will be sold and/or licensed, as applicable, at a [***]% discount off the list price. For each Service Order, the MSS Services will commence (the “MSS Service Commencement Date”) on the first day in which Spyglass: (a) has established communication with the Equipment (as defined in Section 5); and (b) has verified availability of Customer Data (as defined in Section 6.1) on the Spyglass customer online portal (details and login details of which shall be provided by Spyglass to the Customer) (“Portal”). Spyglass may invoice Customer for such MSS Services provided on or after the MSS Service Commencement Date. Standard-sku Consulting Services will be sold at a [***]% discount off the list price. Pricing for non-standard and customized Consulting Services will be determined by the parties on a case by case basis.
If Customer orders Server/Network Infrastructure Monitoring or Security Information and Event Management MSS Services pursuant to a Service Order as detailed in the relevant Service Order, Spyglass may invoice Customer for such MSS Services applicable to all devices in the tier of MSS Services being purchased (as outlined in the applicable Service Order) on or after the MSS Service Commencement Date of the MSS Services applicable to the initial device(s). If there are devices remaining to be integrated after the MSS Service Commencement Date of the initial device(s), Customer shall be responsible for initiating the integration of such devices via the Portal.
2.2 Consulting Service Fees. Spyglass’ billing milestones for the Consulting Services are set forth on each SOW.
2.3 Change Control. “Change” means any change to the Services that (i) would modify or alter the delivery of the Services or the composition of the Services, (ii) would alter the cost to Customer for the Services, or (iii) is agreed by Customer and Spyglass in writing to be a Change. From time to time during the term of the Services, Customer or Spyglass may propose Changes to the Services. Any Change to the applicable Service Order/SOW shall be: (i) approved by both Spyglass and Customer, (ii) executed by an authorized representative of Customer and Spyglass, and (iii) memorialized in a change order (“Change Order”) or other written amendment that specifically identifies the portion of the Service Order/SOW that is the subject of the modification or amendment, and the changed or new provision.
2.4 Work on Customer Premises. If and to the extent that the implementation, performance or delivery of the Services require Spyglass to be present at the Customer’s premises, then, upon receiving travel approval from Customer and subject to Spyglass’ adherence to the Spyglass travel reimbursement policy, or other travel reimbursement guidelines set forth in the applicable Service Order/SOW, Customer shall reimburse Spyglass for all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket travel expenses, including, but not limited to, hotel, airfare and meals, incurred in connection with the implementation, performance or delivery of the Services.

In such event, the notified party shall have the ability to terminate this MSA without affording the notifying party an opportunity to cure.
This Section 12 shall survive any expiration or termination of this MSA.
13. Government Entity.

party except as specified in this MSA. Neither party will use the other party’s name (except internal use only), trademark, logos, or trade name without the prior written consent of the other party. Spyglass has the right to assign, subcontract or delegate in whole or in part this MSA, or any rights, duties, obligations or liabilities under this MSA, by operation of law or otherwise, provided that Spyglass shall remain responsible for the performance of Services under this MSA. Otherwise, neither party may assign this MSA without the permission of the other party which such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
14.2 Entire Agreement; Amendments; Severability; Section Headings. This MSA and the Service Orders and/or SOW(s) are the entire agreement between Spyglass and Customer with respect to its subject matter and supersede all prior oral and written understandings, agreements, communications, and terms and conditions attached to or contained within a purchase order issued by Customer in connection with the Services, including, but not limited to, any security or privacy agreements executed by the parties. No amendment to or modification of this MSA, in whole or in part, will be valid or binding unless it is in writing and executed by authorized representatives of both parties; provided, however, that the SLA(s) may be amended from time to time by Spyglass, as reasonably necessary, in its reasonable discretion as long as such amendments (a) will have no material adverse impact on the Services, Service Levels or Service credits currently being provided to Customer by Spyglass; and (b) are being effected with respect to all similarly situated Spyglass customers. If any provision of this MSA is void or unenforceable, the remainder of this MSA will remain in full force and effect. Section headings are for reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this MSA.
14.3 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any failure to perform any of its obligations under this MSA during any period in which such performance is delayed by circumstances beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, fire, flood, war, embargo, strike, riot or the intervention of any governmental authority (a “Force Majeure”). In such event, however, the delayed party must promptly provide the other party with written notice of the Force Majeure. The delayed party’s time for performance will be excused for the duration of the Force Majeure, but if the Force Majeure event lasts longer than thirty (30) days, or fifteen (15) business days as to a Force Majeure delaying Customer’s performance of its payment obligations, the other party may immediately terminate the applicable Service Order and/or SOW by giving written notice to the delayed party.
14.4 Notices. Notices under this MSA must be in writing and sent by postage prepaid first-class mail or receipted courier service to the other party at the address below or to such other address (incl. facsimile or electronic) as specified in writing and will be effective upon receipt.

APPENDIX A
Applicable to Security Services: Should an SOW include security scanning, testing, assessment, forensics, or remediation Services (“Security Services”), Customer understands that Spyglass may use various methods and software tools to probe network resources for security-related information and to detect actual or potential security flaws and vulnerabilities. Customer authorizes Spyglass to perform such Security Services (and all such tasks and tests reasonably contemplated by or reasonably necessary to perform the Security Services) on network resources with the internet protocol addresses (“IP Addresses”) identified by Customer. Customer represents that, if Customer does not own such network resources, it will have obtained consent and authorization from the applicable third party to permit Spyglass to provide the Security Services on such third party’s network resources. Spyglass shall perform Security Services during a timeframe mutually agreed upon with Customer. The Security Services, such as penetration testing or vulnerability assessments, may also entail buffer overflows, fat pings, operating system specific exploits, and attacks specific to custom coded applications but will exclude intentional and deliberate DOS (“Denial of Service”) attacks. Furthermore, Customer acknowledges that the Security Services described herein could possibly result in service interruptions or degradation regarding the Customer’s systems and accepts those risks and consequences. Upon execution of an SOW for such Security Services, Customer consents and authorizes Spyglass to provide any or all of the Security Services specified in the applicable SOW with respect to the Customer’s systems. Customer further acknowledges that it is the Customer’s responsibility to restore network computer systems to a secure configuration after the completion of Spyglass’ testing.
Applicable to Compliance Consulting Services: Should an SOW include compliance testing or assessment or other similar compliance advisory Services (“Compliance Services”), Customer understands that, although Spyglass’ Compliance Services may discuss or relate to legal issues, (i) Spyglass does not provide legal advice or services, (ii) none of such Compliance Services shall be deemed, construed as or constitute legal advice, and (iii) Customer is ultimately responsible for retaining its own legal counsel to provide legal advice. Furthermore, the Customer Reports provided by Spyglass in connection with any Compliance Services shall not be deemed to be legal opinions and may not and should not be relied upon as proof, evidence or any guarantee or assurance as to Customer’s legal or regulatory compliance.
Applicable to Payment Card Industry Compliance Consulting Services: Should an SOW include payment card industry (“PCI”) compliance auditing, testing or assessment or other similar PCI compliance advisory Consulting Services (“PCI Compliance Services”), Customer understands that Spyglass’ PCI Compliance Services do not constitute any guarantee or assurance that security of Customer’s systems, networks and assets cannot be breached or are not at risk. PCI Compliance Services are an assessment, as of a particular date, of whether Customer’s systems, networks, assets, and any compensating controls meet the applicable PCI standards. Mere compliance with PCI standards may not be sufficient to eliminate all risks of a security breach of Customer’s systems, networks and assets. Furthermore, Spyglass is not responsible for updating its reports and assessments, or enquiring as to the occurrence or absence of such, in light of changes to Customer’s systems, networks and assets after the date that Spyglass issues its final Customer Report pursuant to an SOW, absent a Change Order or a separately signed SOW expressly requiring the same.

who has substantial computer system and network and project management experience reasonably satisfactory to Spyglass to act as project manager and as a liaison between Dell Customer and Spyglass.

During the Term, Dell Customer grants to Spyglass a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Dell Customer Data solely for all reasonable and necessary purposes contemplated by this Agreement and for Spyglass to perform the Services as contemplated hereunder. This Agreement does not transfer or convey to Spyglass or any third party any right, title or interest in or to the Dell Customer Data or any associated intellectual property rights, but only a limited right of use revocable in accordance with this Agreement.
