 ii) not create, collect, receive, access, or use Project Data in violation of law;
  
 iii) use and disclose Project Data solely and exclusively for the purposes for which the Project Data, or access to it, is provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and not use, sell, rent, transfer, distribute, or otherwise disclose or make available Project Data for Alchemy’s own purposes or for the benefit of anyone other than Client, in each case, without Client’s prior written consent; and

 AWS Identity and Access Management and Multi-Factor Authentication
  
 Access to the Alchemy cloud management console requires two-factor authentication using a password and a Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) security token. Individual servers are accessed through an SSH connection using a password encrypted private key. Alchemy servers are networked within an AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) effectively isolating network traffic between servers.
  
 Data Security
  
 All access to the database (including application access) requires authentication. Passwords stored in the database are obfuscated using a one-way cryptographic hash algorithm.
  
 Network Monitoring and Protection against:
  
  
 
 	  
	 ·
	DDoS Attacks
	  
	 ·
	MITM Attacks
	  
	 ·
	IP Spoofing
	  
	 ·
	Port Scanning
	  
	 ·
	Packet Sniffing by other tenants

 Product Security
  
 There are two distinct products in Alchemy Application. The frontend and backend WebApp provides access to authorized users. The front end is customer facing portal for customers to login and view information while the backend is a role based system for admin and other backend users to view and perform their roles such as underwriting and approval.
  
 Authentication
  
 Alchemy incorporates authentication protocols to prevent unauthorized access to the system. Authentication information is always transmitted encrypted using SSL. The authentication token consists of a unique login name and user defined password. Passwords are obfuscated from view as the user enters them. Users only have access to the system through the Alchemy Application, which restricts access based on account login and assigned role associations.
  
 Secure Transmission
  
 Once authenticated to the system, all data requests from the application interface are validated with a secure key before data is transmitted. All data is transmitted through encrypted, SSL connections.

 Service Level Agreement (SLA)
  
 Service Availability
  
 We employ a wide range of technologies, engineering expertise, and streamlined failover processes to guarantee business continuity. Services such as site recovery management, offsite backup, and customizable run-book policies keep data protected and accessible at all times.
  
 Alchemy shall make the Work Product Available, as measured over the course of each calendar month during the Term, at least 99.95% of the time. “Available” means the Services are available and operable for access and use by Client, Lenders and the Users over the Internet in conformity with the Specifications.
  
 If an Instance is not Available at least 99.95% of the time during a calendar month (not including any scheduled maintenance periods or periods where the Instance is not Available due to factors outside Alchemy’s reasonable control), Client may request a service credit that may be applied to the following month’s invoice, according to this schedule:
  
  
 
 	  
	 ·
	If an Instance is Available between 97% and 99.95% of the time, Client will be entitled to a credit of $2,000.
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 ·
	If an Instance is Available between 95% and 96.99% of the time, Client will be entitled to a credit of $3,000.
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 ·
	If an Instance is Available less than 95% of the time, Client will be entitled to a credit of $5,000.

 
 
  
 
 
  
 If an Instance is Available less than 90% of the time during a calendar month (not including any scheduled maintenance periods or periods where the Instance is not Available due to factors outside Alchemy’s reasonable control), Client shall have the right to terminate the Agreement.
  
 Support and Maintenance Services

 Incident Response and Handling 
  
 Purpose
  
 To ensure that security incidents are addressed appropriately to protect Alchemy customer resources and data.
  
 Policy
  
 An incident is an event or series of events that comprise a threat to the security (i.e., confidentiality, integrity, availability) of Alchemy’s systems or data. Sources of incidents include (but are not limited to) viruses, worms, and attacks from outside Alchemy.
  
 All security incidents are responded to immediately using a strategy of:
  
 1. Identification – To determine whether one or more events comprise an incident and to assign a severity level to the incident.
  
 2. Containment – To prevent further damage to a targeted system or spread of an attack to other systems.
  
  
 
 	 
	Exhibit B-5
	

	 

 
 
  
 
 
 
 3. Recovery and Investigation – To eradicate the attack and any resulting damage, return to a normal state of operation, preserve evidence of the attack, and identify exploited vulnerabilities to prevent future attacks.
  
 The IT Team responds to any incident and immediately escalates any incident to the Head of Development (HD). If the HD is unavailable, the IT Team brings the incident to the attention of the CEO.
  
 Procedures
  
 Identify
  
 1. Once an event or series of events is suspected to be an incident, it should be escalated promptly to the IT Team.
  
 2. The IT Team evaluates the evidence and circumstances, confirms that an incident exists, and escalates the incident to the HD.
  
 3. The IT Team and HD discuss the incident, and the HD assigns a severity level using the following guidelines:
  
  
 
 	  
	 ·
	Level 1: The incident poses an immediate threat to Alchemy’s critical systems.
	  
	 ·
	Level 2: The incident represents an incursion on a non-critical system or is an indication of an impending attack.

 
 
  
 
 
  
 The HD bears responsibility for the severity level assignment. In cases where the severity is unclear or ambiguous, the HD may err on the conservative side and assign it a level 1 severity.
  
 4. Level 1 incidents should be reported to the CEO immediately so that they may consider any impact to business operations.
  
 The HD, IT Team, or a delegate documents the incident and responses to the incident. Items that should be recorded include:
  
  
 
 	  
	 ·
	The date and time of the incident
	  
	 ·
	How the incident was discovered or reported
	  
	 ·
	The apparent target / intent of the incident
	  
	 ·
	The apparent source of the incident
	  
	 ·
	The severity level of the incident
	  
	 ·
	Actions taken to respond to the incident
	  
	 ·
	Evidence gathered during the course of the response 

 
 
  
 
 
  
  
 
 	 
	Exhibit B-6
	

	 

 
 
  
 
 
 
 Contain
  
 The IT Team monitors the attack by tracking network and system activity and determines a suitable approach to contain the attack. Containment tactics may include blocking an IP address or port at the firewall, disabling a compromised account, stopping a targeted network service, or unplugging a network cable. Level 1 attack may require a complete and abrupt shutdown of one or more systems. Though this tactic should be used with caution, the HD and IT Team have the authority to apply this tactic during severe situations. Such actions should be discussed and reported to the President as timely as possible.
  
 Recover and Investigate
  
 The HD oversees the recovery of the affected systems and consults with the IT Team to determine an approach to the recovery.
  
  
 
 	  
	 1.
	 The IT Team makes every reasonable effort to preserve evidence of the incident. They might preserve logs and any other signs of system activity or produce images of entire systems for investigation. When warranted, they may obtain professional forensic investigation services.

	  
	 2.
	 The team investigates any vulnerability that was exploited during the course of the incident and addresses it by appropriate means (e.g., applying patches, changing configurations).

	  
	 3.
	 All passwords on affected systems are changed.

	  
	 4.
	 The approach to recovery may include restoring damaged files, restoring from backup, or rebuilding a system. Restoration of individual files or system components should only be pursued if the team is highly confident that the attack was contained. If the team opts to restore from backup, the team should be highly confident that backup volumes are not affected by the attack.

	  
	 5.
	 Documentation of the incident is completed with all supporting documentation of evidence and the investigation.

	  
	 6.
	 Regardless of the approach to recovery, system activity is closely monitored for five business days following recovery with thorough logging and frequent monitoring.

	  
	 7.
	 After five days of seamless system operation, the incident may be declared closed at the discretion of the HD. The IT Team finalizes documentation of the incident and the HD signs off on the incident’s closure.

 
 
  
 
 
  
 Client Notification
  
 When required by law, Alchemy will notify affected customers of an incident within 72 hours through email or other electronic means.

 FIRST AMENDED EXHIBIT A - DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
  
 1. Market research: The Parties shall endeavor to work together to develop and establish policies and procedures that will promote and sustain a marketplace for Company and Consultant related to, including but not limited to, the lending program of Business Warrior Funding (“BWF”), an affiliate of Company.
  
 2. Marketing and Advertising: Consultant will develop campaigns to digitally promote commercial loan products and services for BWF from which Company will receive a monthly revenue share percentage equal to 90% of all profits received by BWF for loans it makes to qualifying borrowers for BWF’s loan products generated by Consultant’s marketing efforts hereunder until such time Company’s revenue share payout equals $3.8 Million (the “Revenue Share Milestone”). After the Revenue Share Milestone is met, Company’s revenue share percentage shall step down to 40% of all profits received by BWF for loans it makes to qualifying borrowers for BWF’s loan products generated by Consultant’s marketing efforts hereunder for the twelve (12) months following the date the Revenue Share Milestone is met. If Company’s revenue share percentage does not produce payments from BWF totaling $3 Million by December 31, 2023 (the “Penalty Date”), Consultant will pay Company a penalty equal to the difference between the money earned by Company as of the Penalty Date and $3 Million. The penalty shall be due by March 1, 2024. The assessment of the penalty and subsequent payment by Consultant shall not abrogate Company’s right to receive a share of BWF’s profits as stated above.
  
 Consultant’s marketing and advertising services hereunder also includes the creation of Company’s brand standards possibly including an enhanced design of a logo and brand standard documentation along with a more robust build out of Company’s primary website related to Company’s service offerings.
