Work will be performed in increments of up to 8 hours per day, unless mutually agreed to in advance with Dell. No activities shall take place during local, state and/or country holidays.

Delivery Methodologies

All Hardware Platform Service Tiers include onsite hardware installation of the physical equipment at Customer location (see Onsite hardware installation section for details of scope).

In the event the Customer location is inaccessible or unreachable, Dell will provide Customer with remote installation assistance. If the Customer elects to do the onsite hardware installation themselves, Customer is responsible for ensuring that all components of the solution are physically installed and interconnected per solution or published documentation. Phone technicians can provide instructions and information to Customers who choose to do the work themselves and/or perform configuration work remotely via web connect or other similar technologies. If web connect assistance is requested, Customer must provide appropriate network access and credentials to Dell to access the solution remotely and perform the work. Services delivered by onsite technicians will be scheduled with Customers to accommodate hardware availability, data center access, customer maintenance windows and technician availability.

For the ProDeploy Plus Service Tier, Dell, at Customer’s discretion, will deliver services by sending field technicians onsite to do work at Customer locations and/or through phone based technicians who provide remote configuration. Some Add-on Services may be performed solely via phone technicians. The delivery method of ProDeploy and ProDeploy Plus Services will be discussed at the commencement of the project and any requested, proposed, or necessary changes will be addressed at that time.

Change Management

Service deliverables are defined in this Service Description that is reviewed with and signed off by the Customer and Dell. During the planning process, specific details related to the Customer environment are documented. Normally, these suffice to complete the project. In rare instances, changes to the solution integration plan are needed after it has been documented. In that case, the Change Management Process indicated below will govern

6 ProDeploy Plus for Enterprise Service Description | v1.21 | March 30, 2021

changes to the scope of service. Either party may request a permitted change in the Service Description by completing the Change Order Form provided by the Project Manager.

The receiving party will review the proposed Change Order and will (i) approve it, (ii) agree to further investigation, or (iii) reject it. Changes agreed pursuant to the Change Management Process will not be effective until mutually executed by both parties.

General Customer Responsibilities

Authority to Grant Access. Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained permission for both Customer and Dell to access and use the Supported Products, the data located thereon and all hardware and software components included therein, for the purpose of providing these Services. If Customer does not already have that permission, it is Customer's responsibility to obtain it, at Customer's expense, before Customer asks Dell to perform these Services.

Cooperate with Phone Analyst and On-site Technician. Customer will cooperate with and follow the instructions given by any Dell phone analyst or on-site technicians. Experience shows that most system problems and errors can be corrected over the phone as a result of close cooperation between the user and the analyst or technician.

On-site Obligations. Where Services require on-site performance, Customer will provide (at no cost to Dell) free, safe and sufficient access to Customer's facilities and the Supported Products, including ample working space, electricity, and a local telephone line. A monitor or display, a mouse (or pointing device), and a keyboard must also be provided (at no cost to Dell), if the system does not already include these items.

Maintain Software and Serviced Releases. Customer will maintain software and Supported Products at Dellspecified minimum release levels or configurations as specified on PowerLink for Dell | EMC Storage or

EqualLogic™, or as specified on www.support.dell.com for additional Supported Products. Customer must also ensure installation of remedial replacement parts, patches, software updates or subsequent releases as directed by Dell in order to keep the Supported Products eligible for this Service.

Data Backup; Removing Confidential Data. Customer will complete a backup of all existing data, software and programs on all affected systems prior to and during the delivery of this Service. Customer should make regular backup copies of the data stored on all affected systems as a precaution against possible failures, alterations, or loss of data. In addition, Customer is responsible for removing any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and any removable media such as SIM cards, CDs, or PC Cards regardless of whether an on-site technician is also providing assistance. DELL WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR:

ANY OF YOUR CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY OR PERSONAL INFORMATION;

LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, PROGRAMS OR SOFTWARE;

DAMAGED OR LOST REMOVABLE MEDIA;

DATA OR VOICE CHARGES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF FAILING TO REMOVE ALL SIM CARDS OR OTHER REMOVABLE MEDIA INSIDE SUPPORTED PRODUCTS THAT ARE RETURNED TO DELL;

THE LOSS OF USE OF A SYSTEM OR NETWORK;

10 ProDeploy Plus for Enterprise Service Description | v1.21 | March 30, 2021

AND/OR FOR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, BY DELL OR A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER.

Dell will not be responsible for the restoration or reinstallation of any programs or data. When returning a Supported Product or part thereof, Customer will only include the Supported Product or part which has been requested by the phone technician.

Third Party Warranties. These Services may require Dell to access hardware or software that is not manufactured by Dell. Some manufacturers' warranties may become void if Dell or anyone else other than the manufacturer works on the hardware or software. Customer will ensure that Dell's performance of Services will not affect such warranties or, if it does, that the effect will be acceptable to Customer. Dell does not take responsibility for third party warranties or for any effect that the Services may have on those warranties.
