City of Meridian ID Sales Order and Agreement (05132018) Page 8 of 22
following the determination of reorganization, so that Avolve may review the planned reorganization to determine
if it is consistent with the Business Unit limitation in this license grant and, if not, what additional fees will be required
due to Licensee's reorganization to include additional Business Units.
2.1.2 Restrictions. Licensee will, and will ensure that its Users, only use the Software in accordance with the
Documentation. Licensee will not, and will ensure that its Users do not: (i) copy or duplicate the Software in excess
of the number of licenses purchased (for production use) or otherwise authorized under this Agreement (for non-

service bureau applications or third party training); (ii) assign, sublicense, sell, lease, loan, resell, sublicense or
otherwise distribute or transfer or convey the Avolve Materials, or pledge as security or otherwise encumber

even if it is also technically possible for Licensee to access other Software components; or (v) modify, further develop
or create any derivative works of, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to obtain or
perceive the source code from which any part of the Software is compiled or interpreted, or access or use the
Software in order to build a similar or competitive product or service; (vi) distribute the Software in any form other
than the form delivered by Avolve to License or otherwise permitted under this Agreement; or (vii) publish any
results of benchmark tests run on the Software. License acknowledges that nothing herein will be construed to grant
Licensee any right to obtain or use the source code. Licensee acknowledges that the Software may contain self -
reporting technology by which Avolve may receive information deemed relevant by Avolve to providing Avolve
Support, improving the Avolve Materials, monitoring compliance, and any other purposes as determined by Avolve
in its reasonable discretion. Licensee shall not tamper with or attempt to disable such self -reporting technology.
Licensee agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure that Users abide by the terms of this Agreement

breach by the User of the conditions of this Agreement.
2.1.3 High -Risk Activities. The Software is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured, or intended for
use or resale as online control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the
operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support

vendors" or "third party software vendors"). Licensee may be held directly responsible by such third party vendors
for acts relating to the Software component parts that are not authorized by this Agreement. Licensee's use of such
third party software is limited to only in conjunction with the Software and Licensee acknowledges that it is not
allowed to modify such third party software or use it independent from the Software. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSEE WAIVES, AND WILL CAUSE ITS USERS TO WAIVE, ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF
ACTION AGAINST SUCH THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE VENDORS THAT ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
2.1.5 Copies. Licensee may make one copy of the Software for back-up/archival purposes only, if the copy
contains all of the original Software's proprietary notices. For the avoidance of any doubt, unless expressly set forth
otherwise in the applicable Software Sales Order, such additional copy may not be run concurrently, either in
production mode to increase performance or in a non -production mode for testing, development or any other
purpose. Should Licensee desire to run additional copies of the Software concurrently, additional license rights must
be purchased by Licensee.

Support), and the related materials supplied by the Licensor pursuant to this Agreement are strictly limited to the
right to use the proprietary rights in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No right of ownership, expressed
or implied, is granted under this Agreement.
2.1.7 API Use. Provided that Licensee has been authorized by Licensee in writing to build Add -Ons (which
authorization may be withdrawn by Avolve at any time upon written notice to Licensee), Licensee may use the API
to create custom Add -Ons solely as set forth in Section 6 below. While Avolve currently does not charge for use of
the API, Avolve reserves the right to charge a fee for the use of the API in the future. Should Avolve implement a
fee for the API, prior written notice will be given to Customers who are currently using the API.
2.1.8 Approved Hardware. Licensee agrees to install the Software only on information technology devices (e.g.
servers, hard disks, central processing units or other hardware) identified by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement
and that has been previously approved by Avolve in writing or otherwise officially made known to the public by
Avolve as appropriate for Use or interoperation with the Software (the "Designated Unit").
2.2 Outsourcing Services. With Avolve's prior written consent, Licensee may permit services providers to access
the Software solely for the purpose of providing facility, implementation, systems, application management or
disaster recovery services to Licensee in connection with the business of Licensee for which the Software is herein
licensed. Licensee agrees to be responsible to Avolve for the conduct of Licensee's services providers to the same
extent that Licensee is responsible to Avolve hereunder for the conduct of Licensee's employees.
2.3 Services. Avolve may provide Avolve Support or other professional services from time to time as mutually
agreed upon by the parties from time to time in a Software Sales Order and/or SOW.
3. VERIFICATION. Avolve shall be permitted to audit (at least once annually and in accordance with Avolve
standard procedures, which may include on-site and/or remote audit) the usage of the Avolve Materials. Licensee
shall cooperate reasonably in the conduct of such audits. In the event an audit reveals that (i) Licensee underpaid
license fees and/or Avolve Support fees to Avolve and/or (ii) that Licensee has Used the Software in excess of the
license quantities or levels stated in the Software Sales Order, Licensee shall pay such underpaid fees and/or for such
excess usage based on Avolve List of Prices and Conditions Software and Support governing use in effect at the time
of the audit, and shall execute an additional Software Sales Order in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
to affect the required licensing of any additional quantities or levels. Reasonable costs of Avolve's audit shall be paid
by Licensee if the audit results indicate usage in excess of the licensed quantities or levels. Avolve reserves all rights
at law and equity with respect to both Licensee's underpayment of License fees or Avolve Support fees and usage in
excess of the license quantities or levels.
PRICE, PAYMENT, AND DELIVERY.
4.1 Fees. Licensee shall pay to Avolve (if purchasing directly from Avolve) or to Avolve's authorized reseller (if
purchasing through a reseller) license fees for the Software and fees for Avolve Support as set forth on the Software
Sales Order(s) hereto. In addition, if Licensee purchases any professional service fees from Avolve, Licensee shall
pay to Avolve the fees set forth on any SOWs. All fees, unless expressly stated otherwise on the applicable Software
Sales Order, shall be in United States dollars. For fees owed to Avovle, any fees not paid when due shall, which
unless otherwise specified in the applicable Software Sales Order or SOW will be thirty (30) calendar days from
invoice, accrue interest at the rate of 18% (eighteen percent) per annum, but not to exceed the maximum amount
as allowed by law. All fees to be paid to Avolve are due in advance, irrevocable and non-refundable (except as

City of Meridian ID Sales Order and Agreement (05132018) Page 10 of 22
4.2 Taxes. Fees and other charges described in this Agreement do not include federal, state or local sales, foreign

provided to Avolve prior to the execution of this Agreement. If Avolve is required to pay Taxes, Licensee shall
reimburse Avolve for such amounts. Licensee hereby agrees to indemnify Avolve for any Taxes and related costs,
interest and penalties paid or payable by Avolve.
4.3 Delivery of the Software; Installation. Avolve will deliver the Software either by making it available for
electronic download or by physical delivery of media to Licensee. Risk of loss passes at the time of such electronic

following initial delivery of the Software, but in all cases within ninety (90) days, to provide Avolve with reasonable
access to Licensee's facilities and systems in order for Avolve to initially install the Software. Unless agreed to in

WARRANTY_
7.1 Warranty. Avolve warrants that the Software will substantially conform to the specifications contained in
the Documentation for thirty (30) days following the Go Live Date. The warranty shall not apply: (i) if the Software
is not used in accordance with the Documentation; (ii) not initially installed within the time period set forth in Section
4_3 above, unless such failure to timely install is due solely to the fault of Avolve; or (iii) if the defect is caused by an
Add-on (other than an Add-on made solely by Avolve and which is provided through Avolve Support or under
warranty), Licensee or third -party software. Avolve does not warrant that the Software will operate uninterrupted
or that it will be free from minor defects or errors that do not materially affect such performance, or that the
applications contained in the Software are designed to meet all of Licensee's business requirements. Provided
Licensee notifies Avolve in writing with a specific description of the Software's nonconformance within the warranty
period and Avolve validates the existence of such nonconformance, Avolve will, at its option: a) repair or replace the
nonconforming Software, or b) refund the license fees paid for the applicable nonconforming Software in exchange
for a return of such nonconforming Software. THIS IS LICENSEE'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS
WARRANTY.

designated by Licensee, each party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its officers, directors,
employees, agents and affiliates from and against any claims, demands, loss, damage or expense, including
reasonable attorney's fees, (collectively, "Claims") relating to bodily injury or death of any person or damage to

provided that Licensee: (i) notifies Avolve promptly in writing of the claim; (ii) gives Avolve sole control of the defense
and any settlement negotiations; and (iii) gives Avolve reasonable assistance in the defense of such claim. If Avolve

alternatives are not commercially reasonable, Avolve may terminate Licensee's use rights and refund any unused,
prepaid fees Licensee may have paid to Avolve. Avolve will not indemnify the Licensee to the extent that the alleged
infringement arises from (1) the combination, operation, or use of the Software with products, services, information,
materials, technologies, business methods or processes not furnished by Avolve (including without limitation use on
other than a Designated Unit); (2) modifications to the Software, which modifications are not made by Avolve; (3)

prorated support fee payable by the customer. The amount of compensation may not exceed 50% of
the licensee's monthly support fee. This means that if a customer has two (2) incidents in which Avolve
failed on the initial response within the time frame stated, they are entitled to receive a service credit
of 4% of the prorated monthly support fee.
12.2. Requesting a Credit. As outlined in this SLA, Avolve shall issue a service credit to Customer's account
if Avolve does not meet the guaranteed response time limits mentioned in the SLA. The Service Credit
will be applied to the clients next invoice that is due, after the credit has been requested and approved
by a member of the Avolve Management staff. In order for a customer to receive a credit on their
account, the customer must request the service credit within seven (7) business days of the incident in
which the response time was not met. This credit request must come from the authorized e-mail
account for the customer's account, and must be submitted directly in the form of a ticket via the
customer's portal account. The ticket must include the customer's account information, and the Ticket
Number in which the response time was not met by Avolve's Support Department. Since all response
times are checked through the Ticket Helpdesk System, there will need to be a Ticket Number
mentioned and/or the dates and times that the incident(s) occurred. The Service Credit Request will
be reviewed by a member of Avolve's Management staff to make sure the request is valid, and the
customer will receive notification of a Service Credit approval or denial. If a Service Credit Request has
been approved, the Service Credit will be applied to the customers next due invoice.
