3.3. No Rerauirement for Purchase Order. Customer acknowledges that a purchase order is not required and is
for administrative convenience only, and that Accela has the right to issue an invoice and collect payment

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, Accela may, in its sole discretion,
temporarily cease providing Customer Subscription Services and/or any pertinent support until past due

belief of Customer's non-compliance; and (iii) as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Accela may utilize the
information concerning Customer's use of the Subscription Services (excluding any use of Customer's personal
data or Customer's Confidential Information) to improve Subscription Services, to provide Customer with
reports on its use of the Subscription Services, and to compile aggregate statistics and usage patterns by
customers using the Subscription Services.
9.3. Use of Aggregate Data. Customer agrees that Accela may collect, use, and disclose quantitative data
derived from the use of the Subscription Services for industry analysis, benchmarking, analytics, marketing,
and other business purposes. All data collected, used, and disclosed will be in aggregate form only and will not
identify Customer, its Authorized Users, or any third parties utilizing the Subscription Services.
10. THIRD PARTY SERVICES
Customer may choose to obtain products or services that are provided or supported by third parties ("Third
Party Services") for use with the Subscription Services. Third -Party Services are provided pursuant to the terms
of the applicable third -party license or separate agreement between the licensor or provider of the Third -Party
Services and Customer, and Accela assumes no responsibility for, and specifically disclaims any liability or
obligation with respect to, any Third -Party Service. Further, Accela will not be responsible to the extent failure
of the Subscription Service to operate as warranted is caused by or results from: (i) any modification to the
Subscription Service other than a Supported Modification; (ii) combination, operation or use of the
Subscription Service with Customer's or Third -Party Services; (iii) abuse, willful misconduct or negligence by
anyone other than Accela or Accela's designee; (iv) use of the Subscription Service other than in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Specifications and Accela documentation or (v) any of
the exclusions indicated in Exhibit A.
11. SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND TERMINATION
11.1. Term of Authorized User Subscriptions. Authorized User Subscriptions purchased by Customer
commence on the start date specified in the applicable Order Form and, unless terminated earlier in
accordance with this Agreement, continue for the term specified therein (the "Subscription Period"). A
Subscription Period and/or pricing thereon may be subject to prorating where Accela deems it appropriate to
cause newly purchased Subscriptions to expire or renew simultaneously with Customer's pre-existing
Subscription(s). Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, all Subscriptions will automatically
renew for additional Subscription Periods equal to the expiring Subscription Period or one year (whichever is
shorter), unless either party gives the other at least sixty (60) days' notice of non -renewal before the end of
the relevant Subscription Period. The per -unit pricing during any such renewal Subscription Period may be
subject to annual pricing increase as designated by Accela and notified to Customer. Pricing increases will be
effective upon renewal of the Subscription Period and annually thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the
parties. If either party provides notice of non -renewal as set forth above, Customer's right to use the
Subscription Service will terminate at the end of the relevant Subscription Period.
11.2. Termination or Suspension for Cause. A party may terminate any Subscription Service for cause upon
thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the
expiration of such thirty (30) day period. In addition, Accela may, at is sole option, suspend or terminate
Customer's or any Authorized User's access to the Subscription Service, or any portion thereof, immediately if
Accela, in its sole discretion: (i) if suspects that any person other than Customer or an Authorized User is using
or attempting to use Customer Data (ii) suspects that Customer or an Authorized User is using the Subscription
Service in a way that violates this Agreement and could expose Accela or any other entity to harm or legal
liability, or (iii) is or reasonably believes it is required to do so by law or court order.
11.3. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason: (i) Within thirty (30)
calendar days following the end of Customer's final Subscription Period, Customer may request in writing
Accela to provide a copy of Customer's data and associated documents in a database dump file format. Accela
will comply in a timely manner with such request; provided that, Customer (a) pays all costs of and associated
with such copying, as calculated at Accela's then -current time -and -materials rates; (b) pays any and all unpaid
amounts due to Accela; (ii) licenses and use rights granted to Customer with respect to Subscription Services
and intellectual property will immediately terminate; and (iii) Accela's obligation to provide any further services
to Customer under this Agreement will immediately terminate, except any such services that are expressly to
be provided following the expiration or termination of this Agreement; and the sections set forth in Section
11.4 of this Agreement.
11.4. Survival. Sections 4 (Confidentiality), 5 (Ownership and Proprietary Rights), 6.4 (Disclaimer), 7 (Mutual
Indemnification), 8 (Limitation of Liability), 11.3 (Effect of Termination), 11.4 (Surviving Provisions), and 12
(General Provisions) will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of any action related to the Subscription Service or this Agreement will be the state and federal courts

and venue in such courts.
12.3. Com liance with Laws. Each party will comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to its
activities under this Agreement including, but not limited to, export laws and regulations of the United States
and other applicable jurisdictions. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will not permit Authorized Users

the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement
will remain in effect.
12.7.Assignment. Customer may not assign or transfer this Agreement, whether by operation of law or

existence of the business relationship between parties. In addition, during the Subscription Period of
Customer's Subscription Service use, Accela may use Customer's name, trademarks, and logos (collectively,
"Customer's Marks") on Accela's website and marketing materials to identify Customer as Accela's customer,
and for providing the Subscription Service to Customer; provided that, Accela will use commercially reasonable
efforts to adhere to any usage guidelines furnished by Customer with respect to Customer's Marks.
12.9. Force Maieure. Accela will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform under this Agreement to the
extent such delay or failure results from circumstances or causes beyond the reasonable control of Accela.
12.10.Entire A reement. This Agreement, including any attachments hereto as mutually agreed upon by the
Parties, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all

AVAILABILITY AND SECURITY
Service Availability:
Accela 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 Accela during Accela's standard maintenance windows. Accela
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 Accela;
2. Customer's failure to provide Accela 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 Accela's sole discretion), including,
without limitation, configuration errors and bad or unintended usage of the Subscription
Services.
5. Force majeure or other circumstances beyond Accela'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 Accela or not identified by Accela 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,.
Remedies for Excessive Downtime:
In the event the Availability of the Subscription Services falls below the Availability SLA in a given calendar
month, Accela 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. Such Service Credit will be issued as a credit against any fees owed by Customer
for the next calendar month of the Subscription Period or, if Customer does not owe any additional fees,
then Accela will pay Customer the amount of the applicable Service Credit within thirty (30) days after the
end of the calendar month in which such credit accrued. Such Service Credit will be in addition to any other
remedies available to Customer at law, in equity or under this Agreement.
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.
Customer Account Login:
For Accela user interface access, Accela uses TLS 1.2 with AES 256 bit or similar encryption for protection of
data in transit, which is supported by most modern browsers. Accela will also restrict applicable
administrative user interface access to Customer corporate networks for additional security on written
request by Customer.
Hosting:
Accela's SaaS platform (servers, infrastructure and storage) for the Subscription Services is and will remain
hosted in one of the largest Tier III data centers in North America, specifically designed and constructed to
deliver world -class physical security, power availability, infrastructure flexibility and growth capacity.
Accela's data center provider is and will remain SSAE 16/ 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. Accela also provides an off -site backup service, which is available at an additional cost. Security
Patching and updates are actively evaluated by engineers and will be deployed based upon the security risks
and stability benefits they offer to Acela's SaaS platform and Customers. Accela 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.
