D. Incident Response

| Priority Level | Description | Target Response Time |
|---|---|---|
| Priority 1 | Operation of the Covered Products is critically affected (not responding to requests or serving content) for a large number of users; no workaround available. | 1 business day |
| Priority 2 | Covered Products is responding and functional but performance is degraded, and/or Incident has potentially severe impact on operation of the Covered Products for multiple users. | 2 business days |
| Priority 3 | Non-critical issue; no significant impact on performance of the Covered Products but user experience may be affected. | 5 business days |
E. Escalation
Escalations to higher levels of management will occur if response times or resolution expectations are not met. Each of Vendor and Customer shall provide two levels of escalation contacts through VP levels, including name, email address and telephone number.
F. Exclusions

Customer will pay Vendor for any support provided by Vendor relating to any Incident resulting from an Excluded Cause and will reimburse Vendor for Vendor’s reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the same. Vendor will not be obligated to provide Support, if Customer is not current with its payment obligations under the Agreement.
