1. Description of Services
The PE Solution is part of the Software and provides tools to help Client to assess, prioritize, and manage cybersecurity risks associated with portfolio companies in which the Client or its affiliates hold an investment interest (each, a “Portfolio Company”).

2. Portfolio Company Access

Company may, in its sole discretion, grant access to the Software to certain Portfolio Companies of Client for the purpose of permitting Client to view and access such Portfolio Company’s use of the Software. For avoidance of doubt, no Portfolio Company shall be deemed a party to the Agreement, and no rights are granted to any Portfolio Company under the Agreement. All such access shall be subject to execution of a waiver in a form provided by Company (each, a “Waiver”) that releases and indemnifies Company from any and all claims, liabilities, or damages arising from or related to the Portfolio Company’s use of the Software. Company disclaims all responsibility and liability for any such use by Client or Portfolio Companies, and disclaims all warranties, express or implied, with respect thereto.
b. Suspension or Termination of Access. Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate a Portfolio Company’s access to the Software at its sole discretion, including but not limited to instances where the Portfolio Company fails to comply with the terms of the applicable Waiver.
3. Client Responsibilities
a. Authority and Consent. Client represents and warrants that it has all rights, consents, and authority necessary to provide Company with information about its Portfolio Companies, including contact details and other relevant data, and to authorize Company to use such information to deliver the Software to Portfolio Companies and to contact Portfolio Companies as necessary, in accordance with the Agreement or applicable SOF. Client further represents that providing such information and authorizations does not violate any confidentiality obligations, contractual restrictions, or applicable laws.
b. Accuracy and Use of Information.

Client acknowledges and agrees that Company does not control and is not responsible for the actions or inactions of any Portfolio Company, including any failure by a Portfolio Company to respond to outreach, access the Software, or otherwise participate in the activities contemplated by the Agreement and applicable Software Order Form. Company has no obligation to notify Client of, or take any action in response to, such Portfolio Company failures. Company makes no guarantees regarding Portfolio Company cooperation or the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of information provided by Portfolio Companies. Company shall have no obligation to enforce the terms of any Waiver, nor shall Company be liable for any disputes, claims, or damages arising between Client and any Portfolio Company.
5. Feedback and Intellectual Property
Client acknowledges and agrees that any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or recommendations provided to Company (“Feedback”) may be used by Company without restriction or obligation. For avoidance of doubt, Feedback shall not include any Client Confidential Information, and nothing in this Section shall be construed as granting Company any rights to use or disclose Client Confidential Information except as expressly permitted under the Agreement. Any intellectual property, including inventions, designs, processes, software code, improvements, or other works developed or created by Company that incorporate or result from such Feedback shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company. Client hereby irrevocably assigns all rights, titles, and interests in such developments to Company. Company grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use any such developments solely for Client’s internal business purposes during the Term.
6. Limitation of Liability
The PE Solution is designed to support Client’s management of cybersecurity risks associated with its Portfolio Companies by offering tools, analyses, and related insights derived from available data. While Company endeavors to provide information that is timely, relevant, and useful, the quality and effectiveness of the PE Solution may be influenced by factors outside of Company’s control, including the accuracy and completeness of information provided by Client and its Portfolio Companies. Due to the nature of cybersecurity risk, no solution can prevent all incidents or anticipate every threat. Given the evolving and unpredictable nature of cybersecurity and third-party risk, Client acknowledges that the PE Solution is not intended to guarantee any particular outcome or level of risk reduction. Client is responsible for evaluating and determining how to use the information provided through the PE Solution. Except as expressly stated in the Agreement, Company disclaims liability for Client’s use of or reliance on such information.
7. Conflicts
All other terms and conditions of the Agreement apply to the PE Solution except to the extent expressly modified by this PE Addendum. In the event of any conflict between this PE Addendum and the Agreement, the terms of this PE Addendum will control solely with respect to the PE Solution.
