Default Sumproduct if two conditions are met but using wildcards?

I didn't put the vertical bars in my formula by accident. If 'MIC' could
appear as a substring in some other bar-delimited field in col H, then you
could get false hits searching for "MIC" rather then searching for the
bar-delimited field "|MIC|". For example,

|||||||SYSTEMIC FAILUE||||||||

would be treated as a match in your formula.
