ARTICLE 4 ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS All provisions in this EPO Agreement are in addition to the requirements of RFP No. 4671 and the published EPO, which are both incorporated into and made a part of this EPO Agreement. ARTICLE 5 ORDERS 5.1 The State does not guarantee that it will purchase any certain amount under this EPO Agreement. 5.2 When a Purchaser decides to procure any Products and/or services from Seller, the Purchaser shall execute a supplement/purchase order to be signed by Seller and an authorized representative of the Purchaser. The supplement/purchase order shall set forth the Products/services to be procured; the prices for same; any warranty period, the specific details of the transaction, as well as any additional terms and conditions agreed to by the parties. All supplements/purchase orders shall be governed by, and incorporate by reference, the terms and conditions of this EPO Agreement. The terms and conditions of this EPO Agreement shall supersede any conflicting terms and conditions set forth in any document provided by Seller or its subcontractors. The parties agree that the Purchaser has the right to adjust the quantities of purchases based upon the availability of funding or as determined necessary by the Purchaser. 5.3 Seller guarantees pricing for the term of this EPO. In the event there is a national price decrease of the Products proposed during that time, Seller agrees to extend the new, lower pricing to Purchaser. ARTICLE 6 METHOD OF PAYMENT 6.1 Once the Products have been accepted by Purchaser as prescribed in Article 7 herein, or there has been lack of notice to the contrary, Seller shall submit an invoice for the cost and shall certify that the billing is true and correct. Services will be invoiced as they are rendered. Seller shall submit invoices and supporting documentation electronically to Purchaser during the term of this EPO Agreement using the processes and procedures identified by the State. Purchaser agrees to pay Seller in accordance with Mississippi law on “Timely Payments for Purchases by Public Bodies”, §§31-7-301, et seq. of the 1972 Mississippi Code Annotated, as amended, which generally provides for payment of undisputed amounts by the Purchaser within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the invoice. All payments shall be made in United States currency. Payments by state agencies using Mississippi’s Accountability System for Government Information and Collaboration (MAGIC) shall be made and remittance information provided electronically as directed by the State. The payments by these agencies shall be deposited into the bank account of the Seller’s choice. Seller understands and agrees that Purchaser is exempt from the payment of taxes. No payment, including final payment, shall be construed as acceptance of defective Products or incomplete work, and the Seller shall remain responsible and liable for full performance in strict compliance with the contract documents specified in the article herein titled “Entire Agreement”. 6.2 If payment of undisputed amounts is not made to Seller within forty-five (45) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the invoice, Purchaser shall be liable to Seller for interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2 %) per month (or such lesser rate as may be the maximum permissible rate under the law) on the unpaid balance from the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period until such time as payment is made. This provision for late payments shall apply only to undisputed amounts for which payment has been authorized. 6.3 Acceptance by the Seller of the last payment from the Purchaser under a supplement/purchase order shall operate as a release of all claims for payment against the State

Purchaser may be deemed to have accepted the Product at the end of the ten (10) working day testing period, unless Purchaser notifies Seller that the product fails to perform as stated herein. 7.8 In the event the Product fails to perform as stated in Article 7.7 herein, Purchaser shall notify Seller. Unless a different period of time is agreed upon by the Seller and Purchaser and specified in the supplement/purchase order, Seller shall, within four (4) working days, correct the defects identified by Purchaser or replace the defective Product. If Seller neither corrects the defect nor replaces the defective product, Purchaser reserves the right to return the Product to Seller at the Seller’s expense; to cancel the purchase order, and to cancel this EPO Agreement as to itself only. 7.9 Upon receipt of a corrected or replaced Product, Purchaser shall have another acceptance period as set forth in Article 7.7 herein, in which to reevaluate/retest such Product.

contract by the Seller, including punitive damages, in addition to any other damages to which it may be entitled at law or in equity. ARTICLE 10 INFRINGEMENT INDEMNIFICATION 10.1 Seller represents and warrants to the best of its knowledge that neither the Products, replacement parts, their elements nor the use thereof violates or infringes on any copyright, patent, trademark, servicemark, trade secret or other proprietary right of any person or entity. Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly of any infringement claim of which it has knowledge, and shall cooperate with Seller in the defense of such claim by supplying information, all at Seller’s expense. Seller shall, to the extent authorized by Mississippi law, have sole control of the defense of such suit and all negotiations for its settlement, and Seller, at its own expense, shall defend or settle any and all infringement actions filed against Seller or Purchaser which involve the Products provided under this EPO Agreement and shall pay all settlements, as well as all costs, legal fees, damages and judgment finally awarded against Purchaser. 10.2 If the continued use of the Products for the purpose intended is threatened to be enjoined or is enjoined by any court of competent jurisdiction, Seller shall, at its expense: (a) first procure for Purchaser the right to continue using the Products, or upon failing to procure such right; (b) replace or modify the Product so it becomes non-infringing, while maintaining substantially similar functionality, or upon failing to secure either such right, (c) refund to Purchaser the hardware purchase price or software license fees previously paid by Purchaser for the Products Purchaser may no longer use. Said refund shall be paid within ten (10) working days of notice to Purchaser to discontinue said use. 10.3 Seller shall have no indemnification obligations to Purchaser under this Article for any breach of the preceding warranties caused directly by: (i) infringement resulting from the combination or use of the Product with other items not provided by Seller; (ii) infringement resulting from material modification of the Product by someone other than Seller, its agents or subcontractors or Purchaser’s employees who were working at Seller’s direction; or (iii) infringement resulting from Purchaser’s use of an allegedly infringing version of the Product if the alleged infringement would have been avoided by the use of a different version Seller made available to Purchaser at no cost to Purchaser, as long as the new or corrected version did not adversely affect the Purchaser’s system’s functionality. ARTICLE 11 EMPLOYMENT STATUS 11.1 Seller shall, during the entire term of this EPO Agreement, be construed to be an independent contractor. Nothing in this EPO Agreement is intended to nor shall it be construed to create an employer-employee relationship or a joint venture relationship. 11.2 Seller represents that it is qualified to perform the duties to be performed under this EPO Agreement and that it has, or will secure, if needed, at its own expense, applicable personnel who shall be qualified to perform the duties required under this EPO Agreement.

unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment or transfer of its obligations without such consent shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties’ respective successors and assigns. ARTICLE 13 AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligation of Purchaser to proceed under this EPO Agreement is conditioned upon the appropriation of funds by the Mississippi State Legislature and the receipt of federal and/or state funds for the performances required under this EPO Agreement. It is understood that Purchaser will not issue a purchase order unless the Purchaser has committed funding for such purchase order. If the funds anticipated for the fulfillment of this EPO Agreement are not forthcoming, or are insufficient, either through the failure of the federal government to provide funds or of the State of Mississippi to appropriate funds, or if there is a discontinuance or material alteration of the program under which funds were available to Purchaser for the payments or performance due under this EPO Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to immediately terminate this EPO Agreement as to itself only, without damage, penalty, cost or expense to Purchaser of any kind whatsoever. The effective date of termination shall be as specified in the notice of termination. Purchaser shall have the sole right to determine whether funds are available for the payments or performances due under this EPO Agreement. Any payment due Seller for services rendered by Seller prior to the date of receipt of notification of termination and received by Purchaser, shall be paid. ARTICLE 14 TERMINATION 14.1 Termination Upon Mutual Agreement: A supplement and/or purchase order may be terminated in whole or in part upon the mutual written agreement of Seller and the Purchaser. 14.2 Termination Due To Bankruptcy: Should Seller become the subject of bankruptcy or receivership proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, or execute an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, the Purchaser may, upon the giving of thirty (30) days prior written notice, terminate a supplement and/or purchase order and this EPO Agreement without the assessment of any penalties, solely as between those two parties. 14.3 Termination Other Than For Cause: A Purchaser may terminate a supplement and/or purchase order and this EPO Agreement as to itself only, in whole or in part and without the assessment of any penalties, for any reason by giving thirty (30) calendar days written notice specifying the effective date thereof to Seller. Any payment due Seller for services rendered by Seller prior to termination and received by Purchaser shall be paid. 14.4 Termination For Cause: Either Purchaser or Seller may terminate a supplement and/or purchase order and this EPO Agreement solely as between themselves and without the assessment of any penalties upon a material breach by the other party upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice unless the defaulting party cures such breach within such thirty (30) calendar-day period. The non-defaulting party may also pursue any remedy available to it in law or in equity. 14.5 Termination of EPO Agreement: ITS may terminate this EPO Agreement for any reason without the assessment of any penalties after giving thirty (30) calendar days written notice specifying the effective date thereof to Seller, but any supplement and/or purchase order entered into prior to the termination date of this EPO Agreement shall survive the termination of the EPO Agreement. The terms of this EPO Agreement shall survive its termination/expiration with respect to any un-expired supplements/purchase orders.

14.6 Refund Of Unexpended Fees: Upon termination of a supplement and/or purchase order, Seller shall refund any and all applicable unexpended pro-rated maintenance/service or other fees previously paid by the Purchaser. 14.7 Eligibility for Partial Refund: If the customer has prepaid for equipment or services under the agreement for the term and decides to discontinue use of the associated equipment or services prior to the full term of the agreement, they may be eligible for a partial refund based on the unused portion of the agreement. The eligibility for a refund will be determined by the number of months remaining on the prepaid term at the time of the discontinuation. The customer must notify the seller in writing of the discontinuation, which must include the services or other identifying information. Notification should occur within 30 days of the decision to discontinue use. If a customer has received any portion of the prepaid services that cover the discontinued services, a pro-rated deduction will be made from the refund to account for the value of services already rendered up until the point of discontinuation. Once the customer has notified the company of discontinuation and a refund calculation has been made, the refund will be processed within 30 days. Refunds will be issued via the same payment method used for the initial transaction unless otherwise agreed to in writing. ARTICLE 15 GOVERNING LAW This EPO Agreement and each supplement/purchase order shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Mississippi and venue for the resolution of any dispute shall be Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi. Seller expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall Purchaser or ITS be obligated to pay an attorneys fee, prejudgment interest or the cost of legal action to Seller. Further, nothing in this EPO Agreement shall affect any statutory rights Seller and Purchaser may have that cannot be waived or limited by contract. ARTICLE 16 WAIVER Failure of either party to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any similar right or power hereunder at any subsequent time or of any other provision hereof, nor shall it be construed to be a modification of the terms of this EPO Agreement. A waiver by either party, to be effective, must be in writing, must set out the specifics of what is being waived, and must be signed by an authorized representative of that party. ARTICLE 17 SEVERABILITY If any term or provision of a supplement/purchase order or this EPO Agreement is prohibited by the laws of the State of Mississippi or declared invalid or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the supplement/purchase order and this EPO Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law provided that the State’s purpose for entering into the supplement/purchase order and this EPO Agreement can be fully achieved by the remaining portions of the supplement/purchase order and EPO Agreement that have not been severed. ARTICLE 18 CAPTIONS The captions or headings in this EPO Agreement are for convenience only, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provision or section of this EPO Agreement. ARTICLE 19 HOLD HARMLESS To the fullest extent allowed by law, Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless, protect and exonerate Purchaser, ITS and the State, its Board Members, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, suits,

Failure of the Seller to provide such written notice to ITS and Purchaser shall be considered a material breach of the supplement/purchase order and this EPO Agreement and the State may, at its sole discretion, pursue its rights as set forth in the Termination Article herein and any other rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity. ARTICLE 21 AUTHORITY TO CONTRACT Seller warrants that it is a validly organized business with valid authority to enter into this EPO Agreement; that entry into and performance under this EPO Agreement is not restricted or prohibited by any loan, security, financing, contractual or other agreement of any kind, and notwithstanding any other provision of this EPO Agreement to the contrary, that there are no existing legal proceedings, or prospective legal proceedings, either voluntary or otherwise, which may adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under a supplement/purchase order and this EPO Agreement. ARTICLE 22 NOTICE Any notice required or permitted to be given under this EPO Agreement shall be in writing and personally delivered or sent by electronic means provided that the original of such notice is sent by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or overnight courier with signed receipt, to the party to whom the notice should be given at their usual business address.
