failure; (b) complete control over the defense and settlement of the claim (provided, that the Indemnifying Party will
not settle any claim without the Indemnified Party's prior written permission if the settlement fails to unconditionally
release the Indemnified Party from all liability pertaining to such claim, such permission not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned); and (c) such assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the claim,
at the Indemnifying Party's expense, as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.

legally permissible, the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure and
reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's expense, if the Disclosing Party seeks to contest such disclosure; (b) in
confidence to its legal counsel, accountants, banks and financing sources, partners, providers and their advisors; (c) in

Exhibit B
Box Security Exhibit
1. Purpose. This Security Exhibit sets forth the information security program and infrastructure policies that Box will
meet and maintain in order to protect Customer's Content from unauthorized use, access or disclosure, during the
Term of the Agreement.
2. Information Security Management Program. Box will maintain throughout the Term of the Agreement an
information security management program (the "ISMP") designed to protect and secure Content from unauthorized
access or use. The ISMP will be documented and updated based on changes in applicable legal and regulatory
requirements related to privacy and data security practices and industry standards.
3. Standards. Box incorporates commercially reasonable and appropriate methods and safeguards to protect the
security, confidentiality, and availability of Content. Box will, at a minimum, adhere to applicable information security
practices as identified in International Organization for Standardization 27001 (ISO/IEC 27001) (or a substantially
equivalent or replacement standard) or other authoritative sources (e.g. SSAE 18, SOC1, SOC2).
4. Independent Assessments. On an annual basis, Box has an independent third -party organization conduct an
independent assessment consisting of a Report on Controls at a Service Organization Relevant to Security, Availability,
Processing, Integrity, Confidentiality and/or Privacy (SOC2 Type II) or such other assessment at its sole discretion (e.g.
ISO 27001 Certificate or SOC1 Type II Report). Additionally, Box undergoes regular penetration testing from
independent third parties at least on an annual basis.
5. Information Security Policies. Box will implement, maintain, and adhere to its internal information security and
privacy policies that address the roles and responsibilities of Box's personnel, including both technical and non-
technical personnel, who have direct or indirect access to Content in connection with providing the Box Service. All
Box personnel with access to Content will receive annual training on Box's ISMP.
6. Information Security Infrastructure.
a. Access Controls. Box will ensure appropriate access controls are in place to protect Content. Box agrees that it
shall maintain, throughout the Term of the Agreement and at all times while Box has access to or possession of
Content, appropriate access controls (physical, technical, and administrative) and shall maintain such access
controls in accordance with Box's policies and procedures.
b. Encryption. Box will encrypt Content at rest within the Box Service. Box will use at a minimum AES algorithm for
encryption of Content at rest with a default value of 256 -bit strength. For Content in transit to and from the Box
Service, Box agrees to use encryption unless Customer uses a method of transmission or feature which does not
support encryption (such as unencrypted FTP, email, etc.).
c. Network and Host Security. Box has network intrusion detection and firewalls in place. Box uses reasonable
efforts to ensure that Box Service operating systems and applications that are associated with Content are
patched or secured to mitigate the impact of security vulnerabilities in accordance with Box's patch management
processes.
Page 15 of 16
Box Confidential
box
d. Data Management. Box has adequate information security infrastructure controls in place for Content obtained,
transported, and retained by Box for the provision of the Box Service. Box will destroy, delete, or otherwise make
irrecoverable Content upon the disposal or repurposing of storage media containing Content. Content is logically
separated from the content of other Box customers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer understands and acknowledges that Customer will be solely responsible
for implementing and maintaining access and security controls on its own systems.
7. Security Breach Management.
a. Notice. Box will promptly notify Customer of any confirmed Security Breach. Box will cooperate with Customer's
reasonable requests for information regarding any such Security Breach, and Box will provide regular updates on
the Security Breach and the investigative action and corrective action taken. "Security Breach" means
unauthorized access to Customer's Content.
b. Remediation. In the event Box knows or has reason to know of a Security Breach, Box will, at its own expense:
(i) investigate the actual or suspected Security Breach; (ii) provide Customer with a remediation plan to address
the Security Breach and to mitigate the incident and reasonably prevent any further incidents; (iii) remediate the
effects of the Security Breach in accordance with such remediation plan; and (iv) reasonably cooperate with
Customer and any law enforcement or regulatory official investigating such Security Breach.
8. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Box implements and maintains business continuity and disaster
recovery capabilities designed to minimize disruption of providing the Box Service to Customer. Box shall review its
business continuity and disaster recovery plans on at least an annual basis and update such plans, as needed. Further,
Box will, at its discretion, perform annual testing of its business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities and
provide to Customer, upon written request, a summary of Box's business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities,
including related testing performed during the last year.
9. Subcontractors. Box will make reasonable efforts to ensure that subcontractors meet Box's security and privacy
standards, to the extent applicable to their scope of performance, including ensuring that all persons authorized to
perform services on behalf of Box have agreed to an appropriate obligation of confidentiality. Box, at its sole
discretion and in accordance with its vendor management program, will perform periodic vendor assessments for
security and privacy.
