software available to you for download.
2. SaaS Fees. You agree to pay us the SaaS Fees. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our
Invoicing and Payment Policy. The SaaS Fees are based on the number of Defined Users and amount
of Data Storage Capacity. You may add additional users or additional data storage capacity on the

3. Ownership.
3.1 We retain all ownership, and intellectual property rights to the SaaS Services, the Tyler Software,
and anything developed by us under this Agreement. You do not acquire under this Agreement

6. SaaS Services.
6.1 Our SaaS Services are audited at least yearly in accordance with the AICPA's Statement on
Standards for Attestation Engagements ("SSAE") No. 21. We have attained, and will maintain,
SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance, or its equivalent, for so long as you are timely paying for SaaS
Services. The scope of audit coverage varies for some Tyler Software solutions. Upon execution
of a mutually agreeable Non -Disclosure Agreement ("NDA"), we will provide you with a
••:•:•• tyler
•• ., iechnologios
summary of our compliance report(s) or its equivalent. Every year thereafter, for so long as the
IVDA is in effect and in which you make a written request, we will provide that same
information. If our SaaS Services are provided using a 3rd party data center, we will provide
available compliance reports for that data center.
6.2 You will be hosted on shared hardware in a Tyler data center or in a third -party data center. In
either event, databases containing your Data will be dedicated to you and inaccessible to our
other customers.
6.3 Our Tyler data centers have fully -redundant telecommunications access, electrical power, and
the required hardware to provide access to the Tyler Software in the event of a disaster or
component failure. In the event ofa data center failure, we reserve the right to employ our
disaster recovery plan for resumption of the SaaS Services. In that event, we commit to a
Recovery Point Objective ("RPO") of 24 hours and a Recovery Time Objective("RTO") of 24
hours. RPO represents the maximum duration of time between the most recent recoverable
copy of your hosted Data and subsequent data center failure. RTO represents the maximum
duration of time following data center failure within which your access to the Tyler Software
must be restored.
6.4 We conduct annual penetration testing of either the production network and/or web
application to be performed. We will maintain industry standard intrusion detection and
prevention systems to monitor malicious activity in the network and to log and block any such
activity. We will provide you with a written or electronic record of the actions taken by us in the
event that any unauthorized access to your database(s) is detected as a result of our security
protocols. We will undertake an additional security audit, on terms and timing to be mutually
agreed to by the parties, at your written request. You may not attempt to bypass or subvert
security restrictions in the SaaS Services or environments related to the Tyler Software.
Unauthorized attempts to access files, passwords or other confidential information, and
unauthorized vulnerability and penetration test scanning of our network and systems (hosted or
otherwise) is prohibited without the prior written approval of our IT Security Officer.
6.5 We test our disaster recovery plan on an annual basis. Our standard test is not client -specific.
Should you request a client -specific disaster recovery test, we will work with you to schedule
and execute such a test on a mutually agreeable schedule. At your written request, we will
provide test results to you within a commercially reasonable timeframe after receipt of the
request.
6.6 We will be responsible for importing back-up and verifying that you can log -in. You will be
responsible for running reports and testing critical processes to verify the returned Data.

'•:�:
t y I e r
.« technologies

are responsible for the security of cardholder data that we possess, including functions relating
to storing, processing, and transmitting of the cardholder data and affirm that, as of the
Effective Date, we comply with applicable requirements to be considered PCI DSS compliant and
have performed the necessary steps to validate compliance with the PCI DSS. We agree to
supply the current status of our PCI DSS compliance program in the form of an official
Attestation of Compliance, which can be found at https://www.tylertech.com/about-
us/compliance, and in the event of any change in our status, will comply with applicable notice
requirements.
SECTION C— PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
1. Professional Services. We will provide you the various implementation -related services itemized in
the Investment Summary and described in the Statement of Work.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the professional services fees in the amounts set
forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and
Payment Policy. You acknowledge that the fees stated in the Investment Summary are good -faith
estimates of the amount of time and materials required for your implementation. We will bill you
the actual fees incurred based on the in -scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the
total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable
hourly rate by the quoted hours.
3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains, and the Statement of Work describes, the
scope of services and related costs (including programming and/or interface estimates) required for
the project based on our understanding of the specifications you supplied. If additional work is
required, or if you use or request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or
change order, as applicable, outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the
addendum or change order will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If travel is required, we will make all reasonable efforts to schedule travel for our
personnel, including arranging travel reservations, at least two (2) weeks in advance of
commitments. Therefore, if you cancel services less than two (2) weeks in advance (other than for
Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (a) non-refundable expenses incurred by us
on your behalf, and (b) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to
reassign our personnel. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you
cancel within two (2) weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We will perform the services in a professional, workmanlike manner, consistent
with industry standards. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty, we
will re -perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us, you agree to provide us with full and free access to
your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide
implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies
provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
7. Background Checks. For at least the past twelve (12) years, all of our employees have undergone
criminal background checks prior to hire. All employees sign our confidentiality agreement and
tyler
�► technologies
security policies.
8. Client Assistance. You acknowledge that the implementation of the Tyler Software is a cooperative
process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You agree to use all reasonable efforts
to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to meet the agreed upon project
deadlines and other milestones for implementation. This cooperation includes at least working with
us to schedule the implementation -related services outlined in this Agreement. We will not be
liable for failure to meet any deadlines and milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or
to the failure by your personnel to provide such cooperation and assistance (either through action
or omission).
9. Maintenance and Support. For so long as you timely pay your SaaS Fees according to the Invoicing
and Payment Policy, then in addition to the terms set forth in the SLA and the Support Call Process,
we will:
9.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and workmanlike
manner, consistent with industry standards, to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to
any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.2 provide support during our established support hours;
9.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third
Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
9.4 make available to you all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements)
that we make generally available without additional charge to customers who have a
maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
9.5 provide non -Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with
any applicable release life cycle policy.
We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. Currently, we use a third -party
secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, .you agree
to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You
agree to provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably
require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to assist with
proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols. If we cannot
resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, we will
be responsible for our travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was
required was a reason outside our control. Either way, you agree to provide us with full and free access
to the Tyler Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the
equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for
us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us. We strongly recommend
that you also maintain your VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support (unless
Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (b) application design;
(c) other consulting services; or (d) support outside our normal business hours as listed in our then -

current Support Call Process. Requested services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to
you on a time and materials basis at our then current rates. You must request those services with at
least one (1) weeks' advance notice.
SECTION D —THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
1. Third Party Hardware. We will sell, deliver, and install onsite the Third Party Hardware, if you have
purchased any, for the price set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in
accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
2. Third Party Software. As part of the SaaS Services, you will receive access to the Third Party
Software and related documentation for internal business purposes only. Your rights to the Third
Party Software will be governed by the Third Party Terms.
3. Third Party Products Warranties.

3.2 The Third Party Hardware will be new and unused, and upon payment in full, you will receive
free and clear title to the Third Party Hardware.
3.3 You acknowledge that we are not the manufacturer of the Third Party Products. We do not
warrant or guarantee the performance of the Third Party Products. However, we grant and pass
through to you any warranty that we may receive from the Developer or supplier of the Third
Party Products.
4. Third Party Services. If you have purchased Third Party Services, those services will be provided
independent of Tyler by such third -party at the rates set forth in the Investment Summary and in
accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
SECTION E - INVOICING AND PAYMENT; INVOICE DISPUTES
1. Invoicing and Payment. We will invoice you the SaaS Fees and fees for other professional services in
the Investment Summary per our Invoicing and Payment Policy, subject to Section E(2).
2. Invoice Disputes. If you believe any delivered software or service does not conform to the
warranties in this Agreement, you will provide us with written notice within thirty (30) days of your
receipt of the applicable invoice. The written notice must contain reasonable detail of the issues
you contend are in dispute so that we can confirm the issue and respond to your notice with either a
justification of the invoice, an adjustment to the invoice, or a proposal addressing the issues
presented in your notice. We will work with you as may be necessary to develop an action plan that
outlines reasonable steps to be taken by each of us to resolve any issues presented in your notice.
You may withhold payment of the amount(s) actually in dispute, and only those amounts, until we
complete the action items outlined in the plan. If we are unable to complete the action items
outlined in the action plan because of your failure to complete the items agreed to be done by you,
then you will remit full payment of the invoice. We reserve the right to suspend delivery of all SaaS
Services, including maintenance and support services, if you fail to pay an invoice not disputed as
described above within fifteen (15) days of notice of our intent to do so.

is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to paying any adverse final
judgment (or settlement to which we consent), we will, at our option, either: (a) procure the
