3.1. Invoicing and Payment. Springbrook will invoice Customer in advance for the Subscription Service and is
payable net thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Subscription Service fees will be due thirty (30) days in
advance of the first day of each Subscription period to which the payment relates. Subscription Service
fees will be due no later than the first day of each Subscription Period to which the payment relates. If
Customer orders additional Authorized User quantities part-way through an existing Subscription Period,
and the initial Subscription Period for the additional quantity is adjusted as described herein, then the
Subscription Service fee for such additional quantity will be pro-rated accordingly. Optional Subscription
Services will be due at the same time as payment for the corresponding Subscription Service, or (if
applicable) as otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form or governing terms. Subscription Service
fees and any other recurring fees will be subject to an automatic annual increase by not more than seven
percent (7%) of the prior year’s Subscription Service fees ("Standard Annual Price Increase"). Customer is
responsible for keeping Springbrook accurately and fully informed of Customer’s billing and contact
information, including providing any purchase order numbers in advance of invoice issuance. Upon
execution by Customer and Springbrook, each Order Form and/or SOW is non-cancellable and non-
refundable except as provided in this Agreement.
3.2. Overdue Charges. If any fees owed are not received from Customer by the due date, then without limiting
Springbrook’s rights or remedies, those charges will accrue late interest at the rate of one and a half
percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever
is lower. 3.3. No Requirement for Purchase Order. Customer acknowledges that a purchase order is not required and
is for administrative convenience only, and that Springbrook has the right to issue an invoice and collect
payment without a corresponding purchase order. Provided, however, that if a Customer’s procurement
procedure requires a purchase order number on a pertinent Order Form or SOW, the purchase order is
required to be provided to Springbrook. If the Customer issues a purchase order, then it shall be for the
full amount set forth in the applicable Order Form or SOW, and Springbrook hereby rejects any additional
or conflicting terms appearing in a purchase order or any other ordering materials submitted by
Customer.
3.4. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by Customer under this Agreement for any
of the Subscription Services is thirty (30) or more days overdue, Springbrook may, without limiting
Springbrook’s other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under this
Agreement (including any Order Form or SOW) so that all such obligations become immediately due and
payable and suspend any use of the Subscription Service until such amounts are paid in full. Moreover, if
any amount owing by Customer under this Agreement for any Subscription Services is ninety (90) days
delinquent, Springbrook may, in its sole discretion, temporarily cease providing Customer Subscription
Services and/or any pertinent support until past due amounts are paid in full.

assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer is
responsible for paying all Taxes. If Springbrook has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which
Customer is responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount will be invoiced to and paid by
Customer, unless Customer provides Springbrook with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the
appropriate taxing authority prior to invoice issuance. For clarity, Springbrook is solely responsible for
taxes assessable against it based on Springbrook’s income, property and employees.

EXHIBIT A
AVAILABILITY AND SECURITY
Service Availability:
Springbrook will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) provide bandwidth sufficient for Customer’s use of the
Subscription Services provided hereunder and in an applicable Order Form and (b) operate and manage the
Subscription Services with a ninety-nine and one-half percent (99.5%) uptime goal (the “Availability SLA”), excluding
situations identified as “Excluded” below.
“Excluded" means any outage that results from any of the following:
a. Any maintenance performed by Springbrook during Springbrook’s standard maintenance windows.
Springbrook will notify Customer within forty-eight (48) hours of any standard maintenance and within
twenty-four (24) hours for other non-standard emergency maintenance (collectively referred to herein
as “Scheduled Maintenance”). b. Customer’s information content or application programming, or the acts or omissions of Customer or its
agents, including, without limitation, the following: 1. Customer’s use of any programs not supplied by Springbrook;
2. Customer’s failure to provide Springbrook with reasonable advance prior notice of any pending
unusual large deployments of new nodes (i.e., adding over ten (10) percent total nodes in less than
twenty-four (24) hours);
3. Customer’s implementation of any significant configuration changes, including changes that lead to
a greater than thirty percent (30%) change in a one week period or greater than fifty percent (50%)
change in a one month period in the number of key objects in the system including but not limited
to metrics, snapshots, nodes, events and business transactions; and 4. Any mis-configuration by Customer (as determined in Springbrook’s sole discretion), including,
without limitation, configuration errors and bad or unintended usage of the Subscription Services;
and
5. Force majeure or other circumstances beyond Springbrook’s reasonable control that could not
be avoided by its exercise of due care. d. Failures of the Internet backbone itself and the network by which Customer connects to the Internet
backbone or any other network unavailability. e. Any window of time when Customer agrees that Subscription Services availability/unavailability will not
be monitored or counted.
f. Any problems resulting from Customer combining or merging the Subscription Services with any
hardware or software not supplied by Springbrook or not identified by Springbrook in the Specifications
as being compatible with the Subscription Services.
g. Interruptions or delays in providing the Subscription Services resulting from telecommunication or
Internet service provider failures.
h. Customer’s or any third party’s use of the Subscription Services in an unauthorized or unlawful manner.
Springbrook Master Services Agreement – Software as a Service Page 11 (v7/22)
Remedies for Excessive Downtime:
In the event the Availability of the Subscription Services falls below the Availability SLA in a given calendar month,
Springbrook will pay Customer a service credit (“Service Credit”) equal to the percentage of the fees set forth in the
table below corresponding to the actual Availability of the Subscription Services during the applicable calendar
month. Springbrook will apply any Service Credits only against future Service payments otherwise due from
Customer. Service Credits will not entitle Customer to any refund or other payment from Springbrook. Service
Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by Springbrook to
provide the Service is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit A.
System availability is measured by the following formula: x = (n - y) *100 / n
Notes:
(1) "x" is the uptime percentage; "n" is the total number of hours in the given calendar month minus scheduled
downtime; and "y" is the total number of downtime hours in the given calendar month.
(2) Specifically excluded from "n and "y" in this calculation are the exception times on scheduled upgrade and
maintenance windows.
Service Availability Percentage of Monthly Service Fees Credited
>99.5% 0%
95.0% - < 99.5% 5% (max of $280)
90.0% - < 95.0% 10% (max of $560)
80.0% - < 90.0% 20% (max $840)
70.0% - < 80.0% 30% (max of $1,120)
60.0% - < 70.0% 40% (max of $1,400)
< 50% 50% (max of $2,800)
Customer Account Login:
For Springbrook user interface access, Springbrook uses TLS 1.2 with AES 256 bit or similar encryption for protection
of data in transit, which is supported by most modern browsers. Springbrook will also restrict applicable
administrative user interface access to Customer corporate networks for additional security on written request by
Customer.
Hosting:
Springbrook’s SaaS platform (servers, infrastructure and storage) for the Subscription Services is and will remain
hosted in one of the largest data centers in North America, specifically designed and constructed to deliver world-
class physical security, power availability, infrastructure flexibility and growth capacity. Springbrook’s data center
provider is and will remain SSAE 18 SOC2 compliant, meaning it has been fully independently audited to verify the validity and functionality of its control activities and processes. Every Server for the Services is and will remain
operated in a fully redundant fail-over pair to ensure high availability. Data is and will remain backed up nightly,
stored redundantly and will be restored rapidly in case of failure.
Security Patching and updates are actively evaluated by engineers and will be deployed based upon the impact
and risk and stability benefits they offer to Springbrook’s SaaS platform and Customers. Springbrook will attempt
to provide customers reasonable prior notice to security changes, updates and patches, unless the delay will lead
to a significant risk of impact to customer data.

Exhibit C
ONLINE PAYMENTS SCHEDULE TO SPRINGBROOK SOFTWARE
1. Definitions
“Citizen” means the person who uses Online Payments (as defined below) to complete a payment processing
that results in the debiting or charging of an amount to such person’s payment instrument and the crediting of
funds to Customer.
“Online Payments” means an optional third-party add-on to the Software that Springbrook facilitates designed
to collect payment information for the purpose of payment processing.
“Payment Application(s)” refers broadly to all third-party payment applications, gateway, processors, payment
terminals, and service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data as part of authorization or
settlement, where these payment applications are sold, distributed or licensed to Customer.
2. Online Payments
2.1 During the Term, and subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Exhibit, Springbrook will
provide the right to access to, and use of, Online Payments to Customer’s Authorized Users with an Online
Payments enabled Account. For the avoidance of doubt, Springbrook is only facilitating access to and use
of Online Payments and is not a provider of Online Payments. 2.2 To facilitate payments, Customer will be required to provide Springbrook with certain Customer Data,
including specifically, information that allows Springbrook to: (a) transmit Customer’s identifying information to a Payment Application; (b) if applicable, receive appropriate payment authorization from

requires of Springbrook in order to facilitate payment processing. Customer authorizes Springbrook to

processing between Customer and a third party designated by Customer. Unless otherwise provided,
Online Payments will temporarily store information received from Customer, such as account information
for a Payment Application only for the purpose of facilitating the payment processing.
2.3 The payment processing facilitated through Online Payments is processing activities between Customer
and a third party and/or Customer and a Payment Application, and not with Springbrook. Payment
Applications are independent contractors and not agents, employees or subcontractors of Springbrook.
Springbrook does not control and is not responsible for the payment methods made available by the
Payment Applications through Software nor the Third-Party Services that are sold or purchased by
Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Springbrook cannot ensure that Citizen or third party
will complete a payment processing or that it is authorized to do so.

conducted by customer via Online Payments; (ii) all terms of use or other terms and conditions
between Customer and Payment Applications.
(c) Customer is solely responsible for the acts and omissions of its Authorized Users in relation to their
use of Online Payments and for ensuring that such use complies with the terms of the Agreement; (d) Customer has exclusive control over and responsibility for the content, quality, and format of any
payments processing it submits to be processed via Online Payments. Nothing in this Schedule may
be construed to make Springbrook a party to any payment processed by Online Payments, and
Springbrook makes no representation or warranty regarding the payment processing sought to be

delayed delivery of, or cancelled products or services; (iv) cancelled transactions; (v) duplicate
transactions or charges; (vi) electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts, debit cards, credit
cards, and check issuances; and (vii) amount of time to complete payment processing.

or statutory-with respect to Online Payments; (b) disclaims all implied warranties, including, but not
limited to, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and title; and (c) does not warrant that Online
Payments will be error-free or meet Customer’s requirements. Customer has no right to make or pass on
any representation or warranty on behalf of Springbrook to any third party.
4.3 Limitation of Liability. Springbrook shall not be responsible or liable for any claims, demands and
damages (actual and consequential) arising out of or in any way connected with a dispute that may arise
between Customer and a Citizen, and /or Customer and a Payment Application regarding the payment
processing (“Payment Processing Disputes”), and Customer hereby agrees that it will not bring or assert
any action, claim or cause of action in jurisdiction or forum against Springbrook arising from or relating
to a Payment Processing Dispute.

In addition to the third party claims obligations and subject to the indemnification procedures under the
Agreement, Customer will indemnify and defend Springbrook against, any Claim to the extent arising from or
related to: (a) improper use of Online Payments by Customer or its Authorized Users or Citizens; (b) any breach
by Customer of its obligations hereunder; (c) the nature and content of all cardholder data or any related data
thereto provided by customer, its Authorized Users or Citizens through use of Online Payments; (D) violation of any law or the rights of a third party by Customer through its use of Online Payments and/or the actions or
