1. FORMATION OF THIS ADDENDUM

This Addendum is deemed accepted by the Client, and comes into effect on the Addendum Effective Date, which shall be the Effective Date of the Agreement.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING

The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the Processing of Client Personal Data, and as more fully described in Annex 1 hereto , FTI acts as a Processor, on behalf of the Client in respect of the Processor Services and FTI acts as a Controller in respect of the Controller Services. Where FTI is acting as a Processor, the terms of Part A of this Addendum shall apply. Where FTI is acting as a Controller, the terms of Part B of this Addendum shall apply. Part C of this Addendum shall apply equally to both the Controller Services and the Processor Services.

Part A: DATA PROCESSING TERMS

In the course of performing their mutual obligations pursuant to the Agreement, the Parties shall duly observe and comply with their respective obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws. The Parties agree that subject to clause 3.5 and 13.6, FTI Processes Client Personal Data for Client as a Processor.

3.0 PROCESSING

In respect of its Processing of Client Personal Data applicable to the provision of the Services, FTI shall:

3.1 Process the Client Personal Data solely on the documented instructions of Client, for the purposes of providing, supporting and managing the Services and as otherwise necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreement, unless required by applicable law to which FTI or any FTI Affiliate is subject, in which case FTI shall inform Client of that legal requirement before such Processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest;

3.2 Process only the types of Client Personal Data, relating to the categories of Data Subjects, and in the manner and duration required to deliver the Services, as is set out in the Annex 1, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. The Agreement (including this DPA) constitutes such documented instructions, and each use of the Services then constitutes further instructions;

3.3 Take measures reasonably appropriate in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws to ensure the security of the Client Personal Data;

3.4 ensure that any staff who may have access to the Client Personal Data commit themselves to contractual or statutory obligations of confidentiality, and take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of such staff;

3.5 where FTI receives a Legal Process requiring disclosure of Client Personal Data to a Public Body, FTI shall (unless prohibited from doing so by applicable laws) notify the Client of the same. Without prejudice to the foregoing, where the Legal Process places a legally binding obligation on FTI to disclose Client Personal Data, or to otherwise respond to the Legal Process, the Client acknowledges that FTI shall be required to Process Client Personal Data as a Controller in determining its response to that Legal Process;

3.6 notify Client promptly if FTI: (i) has reason to believe that it is unable to comply with any of its obligations under this DPA and cannot cure this inability to comply within a reasonable time frame; or (ii) becomes aware of any circumstances or change in applicable law that is likely to prevent it from fulfilling its obligations under this DPA. In the event FTI provides such notice, Client will have the right to temporarily suspend the relevant Processing under this DPA until such time that the Processing is adjusted in such a manner that the noncompliance is remedied. To the extent such adjustment is not possible, Client will have the right to terminate this DPA and/or the Agreement.

4.0 SUBPROCESSING

FTI engages Sub-processors to provide certain services on its behalf and FTI shall:

4.1 be expressly and specifically authorized by Client to use (i) those Sub-Processors already engaged by FTI or any FTI Affiliate as of the date of this Addendum, and (ii) any FTI Affiliate as a Sub-Processor. The list of Sub-Processors (including FTI Affiliates acting as Sub-Processors) is published on the TRUST site, which includes a Sub-Processor notification mechanism to which Client shall subscribe.

4.2 be generally authorized to engage any other Sub-Processor, subject to FTI:

4.2.1 providing a list of Sub-processors made available by FTI on its website referenced in clause 4.1;

4.2.2 not subcontracting its obligations under this Addendum to new Sub-Processor(s) without providing Client with thirty (30) days advanced notice (in accordance with the notification mechanism referenced in clause 4.1), and notification via such notification mechanism shall be deemed sufficient notice;

4.2.3 providing the Client an opportunity to object to the appointment of a new Sub-Processor, provided Client rejects on reasonable grounds;

4.2.4 including terms in its contract with each Sub-Processor which are materially similar and at least as protective, as those set out in this Addendum and the SCCs or other appropriate safeguards as described under applicable Data Protection Laws, as applicable to the Services;

4.2.5 remaining liable to the Client, to the same extent that FTI would itself be liable under this Addendum for its Sub-Processor’s failures, acts, or omissions whenever the Sub-Processor is fulfilling its obligations in relation to the Processing of the Client Personal Data;

4.3 In relation to any notice received or published under clause 4.2.2, and in accordance with clause 4.2.3, the Client shall have a period of 30 (thirty) days from the published date or of the notice to register any reasonable objection to the use of that Sub-Processor by sending an email to Technologysubprocessorobjection@fticonsulting.com . Where the Client registers such an objection, FTI will respond to the Client with any known commercially reasonable solution which avoids the use of the objected to Sub-Processor within 30 (thirty) days from the date when the Client registered the objection. Where no such solution can be found, either party may (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement) terminate the relevant Services immediately on notice to the other party. If Client does not register an objection during the thirty (30) day timeframe, such Sub-Processor shall be deemed an authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this Addendum.

5.0 ADDITIONAL TERMS REGARDING PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA AS RELATED TO THE US PRIVACY LAWS

5.1 To the extent US Privacy Laws apply to FTI’s Processing of Client Personal Data, such Client Personal Data will be disclosed by Client to FTI to perform the Services under the Agreement, including performing the activities set forth in clause 13.6 of this Addendum, and FTI will act as Client’s ‘Service Provider’ or ‘Processor’, as such terms are defined under applicable US Privacy Laws, with respect to such data.

5.5 Any steps taken by the Client as set out in clauses 5.3 and 5.4 shall be subject to FTI’s commercial practicability and shall not require FTI or its Sub-Processors to provide access to or disclose any intellectual property, confidential information, or other materials which could compromise the security, availability, performance or integrity of FTI’s systems, data, premises and/or cause FTI to breach any applicable law, its obligations of confidentiality and/or non-disclosure to its other customers or any other person.

5.6 FTI may disclose Personal Data to FTI’s Processors in connection with such Processors providing services to FTI, and FTI may permit such Processors to Process Client Personal Data as necessary for FTI to provide the Services to Client; provided, in each case, that FTI binds its Processors to comply with FTI’s material obligations under this DPA with respect to the Processing of Client Personal Data. To the extent that FTI is deemed to be a ‘Contractor’ (as such term is defined under the CCPA), FTI certifies that it understands the restrictions on its Processing of Personal Data as set forth in this clause 5 and will comply with them.

5.7 To the extent that Client discloses or otherwise makes available Deidentified Data to FTI, or FTI deidentifies Client Personal Data, FTI agrees to (i) take reasonable measures to ensure that the Deidentified Data cannot be associated with an individual or household; (ii) publicly commit to maintain Deidentified Data in a deidentified form; and (iii) contractually obligate any further recipient to comply with all provisions of this clause 5.7.

6.0 SECURITY MEASURES

FTI shall implement the technical and organizational measures in order to protect against Personal Data Breaches and to preserve the security and confidentiality of Client Personal Data Processed by FTI in the provision of the Services (“Security Measures”).

FTI may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time provided that any updates and modifications do not result in material degradation of the overall security of the Services and Client Personal Data.

7.0 PERSONAL DATA BREACH RESPONSE

Upon confirmation of a Personal Data Breach affecting Client Personal Data (“Client Personal Data Breach”), FTI shall:

7.1 notify Client without undue delay [and in any event no more than seventy-two (72) hours];

7.2 taking into account the information available and to the extent known, provide all such information and cooperation as Client may reasonably require in order for Client to fulfil its Personal Data Breach reporting obligations under (and in accordance with the timescales required by) Data Protection Laws;

For the sake of clarity, a Personal Data Breach will not include unsuccessful log-in attempts, denial of service attacks, port scans, packet sniffing, pings, exploits and other attacks on firewalls or networked systems, or the disclosure or identification of software or system vulnerabilities or weaknesses which do not result in unauthorized access, alteration, destruction, loss or disclosure of Client Personal Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notifications in accordance with clauses 7.1 and 7.2 will not be construed as an acknowledgment by FTI of any fault or liability with respect to the Client Personal Data Breach.

8.0 COOPERATION

8.1Taking into account the nature and scope of the Processing, FTI shall:

8.1.1 to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly notify Client of any communication from a Data Subject or Consumer regarding the Processing of their Personal Data which is comprised in the Client Personal Data, or any communication from a Supervisory Authority relating to either party's obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws in respect of the Client Personal Data;

8.1.2 not respond to any communication directly from a Data Subject or Consumer without Client’s prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client agrees that it is highly unlikely that FTI would independently become aware that Client Personal Data is inaccurate or outdated. Nonetheless, if FTI becomes aware that Client Personal Data is inaccurate or outdated, it will notify Client without undue delay. Accordingly, FTI will cooperate with Client to rectify inaccurate or outdated Client Personal Data to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any assistance provided to the Client as set out in clauses 8.1.4 and 8.1.5 shall be subject to practicability and additional fees payable by Client in connection with such assistance.

8.2 Client acknowledges and consents that some technical and data centre support will be supplied by FTI Affiliates located outside of the US and EU depending on the scope of Services and as such, Personal Data may be Processed by those FTI teams or Affiliates in the United States, European Economic Area, India, United Kingdom, and/or Australia.

9.4 Client agrees that the scope, and duration, of any audit or inspection requested in clauses 9.1 and 9.2 shall be: (i) mutually agreed between the Parties acting reasonably and in good faith, and (ii) subject to additional fees payable by Client. Beyond such restrictions, Client shall use current certifications and documentation FTI makes generally available to avoid or minimize repetitive audits wherever possible. Further, Client understands and agrees that any request for information, audits (or inspections) shall not require FTI or its Sub-Processors to provide access to or disclose any intellectual property, confidential information, or data that could compromise the security, availability, performance or integrity of FTI’s systems, premises and/or cause FTI to breach any applicable law, its obligations of confidentiality and/or non-disclosure to its other customers or any other third party; and unless expressly prohibited by a Supervisory Authority, Client accepts that any on-site audit or inspection at a facility controlled or managed by a third party shall be subject to the security, non-disclosure and access policies set forth by that third party.

11.3 Client acknowledges that various FTI entities and affiliates established in the US are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension (collectively, the “DPF”). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a transfer between Client and FTI is covered by DPF, and to the extent that the same constitutes a valid adequacy decision for the purposes of EU, Swiss or UK Data Protection Laws (as applicable), then the SCCs will not apply. FTI’s certification can be viewed on the Data Privacy Framework List available at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov. In the event that the European Commission, Swiss federal government or UK government no longer recognizes the DPF as a valid adequacy decision, the parties agree that the SCC’s (where applicable, as modified by the provisions of clause 11.2 or 11.4), shall apply.

11.4 In respect of any Restricted Transfer subject to the Swiss FADP, the EEA Standard Contractual Clauses shall be amended as follows: (i) Scope of “personal data” (Clause 1.c / Annex I.B): In addition to Personal Data pertaining to individuals, these amended Standard Contractual Clauses (Clauses) shall be applicable to and protect Personal Data pertaining to legal entities as well, if and to the extent such Personal Data pertaining to legal entities is within the scope of the Swiss FADP; (ii) Competent supervisory authority (Clause 13 / Annex I.C): To the extent the transfer of Personal Data as specified in Annex I.B is subject to the Swiss FADP, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) shall act as the competent supervisory authority. To the extent the transfer of Personal Data as specified in Annex I.B is subject to the GDPR, the supervisory authority of the Member State in which the Swiss data exporter’s EU representative according to GDPR Article 27(1) is established shall act as competent supervisory authority; and (iii) Data subject jurisdiction (Clause 18.c): The term “Member State” shall not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of pursuing their rights at their place of habitual residence (Switzerland) in accordance with clause 18.c. Accordingly, data subjects with their place of habitual residence in Switzerland may also bring legal proceedings before the competent courts in Switzerland.

11.5 In respect of any Restricted Transfer between FTI and a Sub-Processor, FTI shall either: (a) enter into Module 3 of the EEA Standard Contractual Clauses (where applicable, with appropriate amendments for the Swiss FADP); (b) enter into the UK IDTA; and/or (c) take steps to ensure that the Sub-Processor is certified under the DPF, where doing so is necessary to ensure that the Restricted Transfer complies with Data Protection Laws.

11.6 For the avoidance of doubt, if, and to the extent that, the European Commission or the UK Government issues any amendment to, or replacement of, the EEA Standard Contractual Clauses or UK IDTA, the parties acknowledge and agree that such clauses will automatically be deemed to replace all Standard Contractual Clauses then in force between the Client and FTI and the parties shall take such additional steps as necessary to give ensure that such replacement terms are implemented across all transfers.

11.7 If, at any time, a Supervisory Authority or a court with competent jurisdiction over a party mandates that certain cross-border transfers from Controllers to Processors must be subject to specific additional safeguards (including but not limited to specific technical and organisational measures), the parties shall work together in good faith to implement such safeguards and ensure that any transfer of Client Personal Data is conducted with the benefit of such additional safeguards.
