termination taking effect.
(b) The Organization and Harris recognize that circumstances may arise entitling the

obligations of the parties under this License Agreement.
(i) EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF (a) HARRIS'S BREACH OF
ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, (b) HARRIS'S INTENTIONAL
MISREPRESENTATION, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL

NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE THE LICENSE FEES PAID TO
HARRIS BY THE ORGANIZATION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
LICENSE AGREEMENT.
(ii) IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE
LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR
OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
-8-
(iii) CLAUSES (i) AND (ii) SHALL APPLY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM,
DEMAND OR ACTION BY A PARTY IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OF
THE CAUSE OF ACTION UNDERLYING SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND OR
ACTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, BREACH OF CONTRACT
OR TORT.
Section 5.02 Intent
The parties hereby confirm that the waivers and disclaimers of liability, releases
from liability, limitations and apportionments of liability, and exclusive remedy provisions
expressed throughout this License Agreement shall apply even in the event of default, negligence
(in whole or in part), strict liability or breach of contract of the person released or whose liability
is waived, disclaimed, limited, apportioned or fixed by such remedy provision, and shall extend
to such person's affiliates and to its shareholders, directors, officers, employees and affiliates.
Section 5.03 Intellectual Property Indemnity
(a) In the event there is a third party claim against Organization alleging that Organization's
use of the Software in accordance with this License Agreement constitutes an
infringement of a Canadian or United States' patent, copyright, trade -mark or trade secret
or other intellectual property that is valid and enforceable in Organization's jurisdiction,
Harris shall, at its expense, defend and indemnify Organization and pay any final
judgment (including all damages awarded against Organization) against Organization or
settlement agreed to by Harris on Organization's behalf. This indemnity is only effective
where (i) Organization has not made any admissions or begun settlement negotiations
either prior to or after providing notice to Harris of the applicable claim except with
Harris's prior written consent, (ii) Harris has sole control of the defense of any claim or
proceeding and all negotiations for its compromise or settlement; (iii) Organization
assists and provides information to Harris throughout the action or proceeding, and (iv)
Organization has not modified the Software in any manner whatsoever except with the

Section 5.03 shall nullify this indemnity but not the sole right of Harris to have full and
complete authority of the defense to defend such claim or proceeding and of all
negotiations related therewith and the settlement thereof. In the event that the
Organization's use of the Software is finally held to be infringing or Harris deems that it
may be held to be infringing, Organization agrees that the only remedy available to it is
that Harris shall be, at Harris's election, for Harris to: (1) procure for the Organization the
right to continue use of the Software; or (2) modify or replace the Software so that it
becomes non -infringing.
(b) The foregoing states Harris's entire liability, and the Organization's exclusive remedy,
with respect to any claims of infringement of any copyright, patent, trade -mark, trade
secret or other property interest rights relating to the Software, or any part thereof or use
thereof.
(c) Organization may, at Organization's sole cost and expense —which is outside the scope
of this indemnity —retain counsel of its own choosing who shall be permitted to attend all
settlement conferences and hearings or other court appearances (except where the court
has specifically made an order against such attendance) related to the proceeding.
Section 5.04 Remedies
Where remedies are expressly afforded by this License Agreement, such remedies
are intended by the parties to be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Organization for
liabilities of Harris arising out of or in connection with this License Agreement, notwithstanding
any remedy otherwise available at law or in equity.

Schedule "A"
Escrow Terms
Where the Organization has agreed to be a beneficiary of the Escrow Agreement (as defined
below) by entering into the Escrow Arrangement, the following sections shall apply to the
Support and Maintenance Agreement upon the execution of the Escrow Arrangement.
(a) Harris and Lincoln -Parry (the "Escrow Agent") have entered into an escrow
agreement (the "Escrow Agreement"). The Source Code is provided by Harris to
the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Organization has
a right to the Source Code pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule and the
Escrow Agreement as it has agreed to participate in the Escrow Arrangement and
is a beneficiary because the Organization has completed the Escrow Arrangement
document. Harris agrees that if an "Event of Default" occurs, then the
Organization shall have the right to one copy of the most current version of the
Source Code for the affected Software and associated Documentation.
(b) An Event of Default is defined as and shall be deemed to have occurred if Harris:
(1) ceases to market or make available maintenance or support services for the
Software during a period in which the Organization is entitled to receive or to
purchase, or is receiving or purchasing, such maintenance and support and Harris
has not promptly cured such failure despite the Organization's demand that Harris
make available or perform such maintenance and support, (2) becomes insolvent,
executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to
bankruptcy or receivership proceedings, and it continues to be subject to
bankruptcy proceedings ninety (90) days following either its application into
bankruptcy protection or the commencement of such proceedings, or (3) has
transferred all or substantially all of its assets or obligations set forth in this
Agreement to a third party which has not assumed all of the obligations of Harris
set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Harris will promptly and continuously update and supplement the Source Code as
necessary with all corrections, improvements, updates, releases, or other changes
developed for the Software and Documentation. Such Source Code shall be in a
form suitable for reproduction and use and shall consist of a full source language
statement of the program or programs comprising the Software.
(d) The governing License for the Software includes the right to use Source Code
received under this Schedule as necessary to modify, maintain, and update the
Software but for no other purposes outside the normal business operations of the
Organization.
(e) The termination of the Support and Maintenance Agreement shall immediately
end the Organization's rights as a beneficiary under the Escrow Agreement and
Escrow Arrangement, as applicable.
(f) This Schedule "A" shall form part of the Support and Maintenance Agreement
only where an Escrow Arrangement is entered into by the parties. The Escrow
Agreement provides that either the Escrow Agent or Harris will annually send
notices to the Organization of the Escrow Agent's continued possession of the
Source Code and will also state the activity related to the Source Code provided to
the Escrow Agent by Harris for the previous year. The Escrow Agreement cannot
be terminated without the consent of each beneficiary (licensee) of the Escrow
Agreement.

Response Times
Response times will vary and are dependent on the priority of the call. We do our best to ensure

escalated based on the urgency of the issue reported. Our response time guidelines are as
follows:
Priority 1: 1 - 4 hours
Priority 2: 1 - 8 hours
Priority 3: 1 - 24 hours
Call Priorities
In an effort to assign our resources to incoming calls as effectively as possible, we have
identified three types of call priorities, 1, 2 and 3. A Priority 1 call is deemed by our support
staff to be an Urgent or High Priority call, Priority 2 is classified as a Medium Priority and
Priority 3 is deemed to be a Low Priority. The criteria used to establish guidelines for these calls
are as follows:
Priority 1— High
• System Down (Software Application, Hardware, Operating System, Database)
• Inability to process bills
• Program errors without workarounds
• Aborted postings or error messages preventing data integration and update
• Performance issues of severe nature impacting critical processes
Priority 2 - Medium

Priority 3 - Low
• Report formatting issues
• Training questions, how to, or implementing new processes
• Aesthetic issues
• .Issues with workarounds
• Recommendations for enhancements on system changes
• Questions on documentation
Call Process
All issues or questions reported to support are tracked via a support call, our support analysts
cannot provide assistance unless a support call is logged. Our current process for logging calls
includes the following: eSupport (via website), email, phone and fax.
• Your call must contain at a minimum: your organization name, contact person, software
product and version, module and/or menu selection, nature of issue, detailed description
of your question or issue and any other information you believe pertinent.
• Our support system or one of our support analysts will provide you with a call ID to track
your issue and your call will be logged into our support tracking database.
• Your call will be stored in a queue and the first available support representative will be
assigned to deal with your issue.
• As the support representative assigned to your call investigates your issue, you will be
contacted and advised as to where the issue stands and the course of action that will be
taken for resolution. If we require additional information, you will be contacted by the
assigned support representative to supply the information required.
• All correspondence and actions associated with your call will be tracked against your call
in our support database. At any time, if available to you, you may log onto our website to
see the status of your call.
• Once your call has been resolved, you will receive an automated notification by email
that your call has been closed. This email will contain the entire event history of the call
from the time the call was created and leading up to the resolution of the call. You also
have the option of viewing both your open and closed calls, if available to you, via our
website.
• If your issue needs to be escalated to a development resource or programmer for
resolution, your issue will be logged into our development tracking database and you will
be provided with a separate ID number to track the progress of the issue. At this time,
your support call will be closed and replaced by the development ID number. The
development ID number will remain open until your issue has been completely resolved.
Issues escalated to development will be scheduled for resolution and may not be resolved
immediately depending on the nature and complexity of the issue.
Contact the support department at your convenience for a status update on your
development issues, or log onto our website (if available to you) to view your issues on-
line.
Escalation Process
Our escalation process is defined below. This process has been put in place to ensure that issues
are being dealt with appropriately. If at any time you are not completely satisfied with the
resolution of your issue, you are encouraged to escalate with the support department as follows:

Level 2: Contact the support supervisor or group lead
Level 3: Contact the Director of Support
