Note From the End of Software Maintenance Releases Date to the End of Software Maintenance Release through follow on release ("Extended Period of Support"), Cisco will provide only Critical Software Support defined as network services impacting bugs or security vulnerabilities that have been identified by the customer to Cisco TAC and subsequently qualified via Cisco's normal evaluation process. Critical Software Support will be provided according to the following terms and conditions: • Cisco TAC will first use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Customer to determine the locality of impact and to find a workaround for the problem. • If an alternative workaround is not possible during the Extended Period of Support, then Cisco will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide a bug fix solution to remedy the problem. • If despite commercially reasonable efforts Cisco is unable to provide a software based solution, it may be necessary for the Customer to remove or upgrade the impacted software based systems to correct the problem.
