    Exadata or Full Rack SuperCluster). Each database must be of the same configuration and patch level.

    Oracle will perform the Orientation & Training, Customer Portal set up and Connectivity Setup services

    at the beginning of the Quarterly Patch Deployment services. Oracle will provide quarterly deployment of

    the proactive unified Oracle Exadata or SuperCluster patch set every quarter or approximately every three

    (3) months for one (1) year. You are responsible for all reactive (non-bundled) patch deployments.

    1. Customer Orientation and Training - Oracle will provide one (1) training and orientation session for your designated customer contacts remotely or at the location specified in your order. The agenda

    for the orientation includes:

    a. Overview of the ongoing Quarterly Patch Deployment service and deliverables; b. Ongoing Quarterly Patch Deployment responsibilities; c. Initial schedule for the ordered services; d. Objectives and plans to execute the ordered services; e. Joint contact information (if different from customer or Production Support Readiness contacts); f. Usage of Oracles web-based support delivery system(s); g. Service requests; h. Oracle product lifecycle; i. Patch management and change control recommendations; j. Electronic access and remote connectivity guidelines (if applicable), and k. Questions and answer session.

    2. Customer Portal Oracle will provide you with a customer-specific web portal to track the status of

    services and may consist of one or more of the following items:

    a. Orientation session materials; b. Contact information; c. Escalation procedures; d. Meeting minutes; e. Start-up Advisory and Production Support Readiness output and reports from service reviews,

    and

    f. Useful links (e.g., Technical Support Policies).

    Oracle will provide you with a password to access to your web portal; such access is subject to the

    Terms of Use posted on Oracles web-based support delivery system(s). A copy of the Terms of

    Use is available upon request.

    3. Connectivity Setup

    For remote Patch Deployment customers only, Oracle will assist you to establish continuous network

    connection between you and Oracle via the Oracle Continuous Connection Network (OCCN)

    which is secure network from which Oracle can access your systems to deploy the patch bundle.

    Oracle will provide the requirements for the OCCN implementation and provide you with a VPN

    device. You are responsible for installing such VPN device on your Internet network. If you

    experience difficulty installing the VPN device or establishing a VPN connection, Oracle will assist

    you with identifying and resolving the issue. Alternately, you may also choose not to use a VPN

    connection and choose to have Oracle connect and execute the necessary patching commands via

  • Advanced Customer Support Start-Up Packs v030315 Page 12 of 14

    Oracle Web Conference.

    4. Support Activity Reviews Once per month during the term, Oracle will conduct a remote review, via telephone, with one of your customer contact(s) all reactive patch deployment activity, including

    service request activity in connection with those patches logged by your customer contact(s). The

    review will consist of status reports, outstanding actions to complete, and an assessment of your

    reactive patch plans. You will be responsible for evaluating and implementing Oracles

    recommendations for all reactive patches. You will be responsible for approving proactive patch

    bundles recommended prior to quarterly patch deployments.

    5. Initial 90 Day Patch Assessment Oracle will perform a one-time high level assessment of your systems patch profile to identify known patch issues. Such information will be used to generate a

    standardized report of findings, based on Oracles recommended practices. The assessment may cover

    the following topics:

    a. Review of your patch inventory to identify one-off patches that may have been applied;

    b. Review of recommended patches to identify possible conflicts; and

    c. Recommendations for working with Premier Support to arrange merge patches.

    Such initial Patch Assessment may also include recommendations from other reviews performed as

    part of the Production Support Readiness services identified in this exhibit. Oracle will provide you

    with a Patch Assessment report that contains findings and recommendations for your first Quarterly

    Patch Deployment. You will be responsible for reviewing the recommended patch set for the first

    Quarterly Patch deployment. Oracle will provide you with this Initial Patch Assessment report and a

    recommended patch set that contains findings and recommendations for your first Quarterly Patch

    Deployment. You will be responsible for approving the recommended patch set for the first

    deployment and patch deployment approach.

    6. Patch Deployment Once per quarter, Oracle will assist you with patching the Oracle Exadata Database Machine or SuperCluster including:

    a. The InfiniBand HCA firmware, b. Oracle Enterprise Linux or Oracle Solaris, and c. The Oracle software installed and configured on your servers and storage during the standard

    Start-Up Pack configuration.

    You are responsible for all reactive patch deployments between quarterly deployments.

    As determine by you, Oracle will perform patch installation activities and/or provide installation

    assistance using one (1) of the approaches listed below.

    a. Oracle will install patches installations while your machine is online, including a use of a verification utility which identifies the complexity and nature of the patch. Simple patches will be

    applied on each server, storage server or storage array. Complex patches will be applied one

    server at a time in rolling fashion.

    b. Oracle will perform patch installations by applying the patch while servers, storage servers or storage arrays are shutdown down. After the patch has been applied, the machine will be

    rebooted; the servers and storage servers or storage arrays will be brought back up.

    c. Oracle will assist you to perform the installation of the patches that Oracle provides to you, and Oracle will provide you with detailed patch installations instructions.

    Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Quarterly Patch Deployment services shall commence

    within forty (40) days from the conclusion of the configuration services.
