Maintenance A subscription to Maintenance will entitle the Client to the most current released software version, subsequent version updates to the software and technical support for licensed software. Support Service Overview Support is delivered by PAREXEL Company via regional support for the EU, US and Japan. PAREXEL also provides customers with access to a Web based support facility, available 24x7 (with the exclusion of maintenance periods; prior notification of scheduled downtime will be given), offering customers a knowledge database of known issues to search for common problems, with the ability to check the status of their existing support calls and to log new issues. Telephone access to the Support Center is through a support number associated with customer s local time zone. Customers contact support through a UK support telephone number for Europe, Middle East and North Africa, through a US support telephone number for US, Canada, South and Central America, and through a Japanese support telephone number for Japan and the Asia Pacific basin. The customer will contact PAREXEL through the PAREXEL Support Center, via telephone, email or the Web. Upon receipt of the issue raised by the customer, the PAREXEL Support Center will as part of their function: Log the issue into the CRM system with dispatch date and allocate a case number. Acknowledge receipt of the issue, confirm severity level, and allocate an analyst to handle the case Investigate the problem, maintain regular contact with the customer and provide updates on progress of their problem. As required, request assistance from PAREXEL Engineering resources to provide a resolution or acceptable workaround to the problem. Confirm problem closure with the customer. Standard Support PAREXEL provides standard maintenance support for the current version of licensed software products. In addition, PAREXEL provides support for the previous two supported minor versions for non-validation products, for a period of no more than 3 years from the date of release.

Customers must utilize the local time zone for standard technical support (i.e. U.S. customers must use U.S contact numbers within the allocated hours for technical support). Severity Levels and Response Times Severity is measured from Priority 1 to Priority 4, with P1 being the most critical level. Severity levels are allocated by PAREXEL Technical Support, for each incident, as part of the initial contact. Severity levels may be downgraded as solution/work-around are developed that reduce the impact of the issue or when the customer is unresponsive to attempts for case resolution by PAREXEL Technical Support. Responses to all issues are managed through the same Technical Support process. Based upon severity level, issue resolution attempts are prioritized and faster response times, along with higher levels of management oversight are allocated to higher priority issues. A response will be provided on a regular basis by the Technical Support Analyst who may request that further troubleshooting activities are undertaken. The Technical Support Analyst will advise of progress made in identifying the cause and potential resolution of the problem. For any support requests submitted to PAREXEL in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, PAREXEL will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such problems in accordance with the following response times: Severity Level / Response Time Table Severity Level P1 P2 Response 4 Business Hours 1 Business Day Description Complete production system failure.
