experiencing financial problems or is generally unable to pay its debts and liabilities as they become due.
Any terms or conditions appearing on the face or reverse side of any Purchase Orders, or on any website
providing access to such Purchase Orders shall be of no force or effect. Neither Catchpoint Systems’ failure
to explicitly or specifically object to any such terms or conditions, nor its acceptance or filling of any
Purchase Order hereunder, shall be deemed a waiver of its rights or its acquiescence with such terms and
conditions.
5.6 Purchase Prices. The purchase prices for the Catchpoint Services to be paid by Partner
shall be as listed in Catchpoint Systems’ confidential price list, and at the applicable Partner Level discount
set forth in the Business Terms. The price list applicable to each order shall be Catchpoint Systems’ then-
current price list at the time the Purchase Order is submitted and accepted. Catchpoint Systems reserves the
right to revise pricing at any time in its sole discretion upon providing Partner an updated price list in writing
given thirty (30) days’ written notice.
5.7 Payment Terms. Partner shall remit the full net invoice price for the Catchpoint Systems
Services to Catchpoint Systems within thirty (30) days from invoice date, provided, however, that if Partner
does not receive credit approval, it must pay all fees and charges in advance. For the avoidance of doubt,
Partner’s payment obligations to Catchpoint Systems hereunder are not dependent upon Partner’s receipt
of payment from Customers, and Partner is in no way relieved of its payment obligations herein to
Catchpoint Systems if the reseller or Customers delays or fails to make payment to Partner or its reseller.
Catchpoint Systems’ written invoice to Partner shall state the purchase price for the Catchpoint Services,
together with all other applicable itemized charges (including shipping, delivery charges and taxes). All
sums not paid when due will accrue interest charges of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the
maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. If it should become necessary for Catchpoint Systems
to institute any proceedings to collect any amounts due hereunder from Partner, then Partner shall also
reimburse Catchpoint Systems for any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees. Without limiting any rights and remedies available to Catchpoint Systems,
Catchpoint Systems may, at its sole and exclusive option, require advance payment, and/or may refuse,
cancel or reschedule any Purchase Orders, including back orders, which may be submitted by Partner in the
event that Partner is in breach of this Agreement or fails to make prompt payment to Catchpoint Systems
for any Purchase Order. Catchpoint Systems may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change any financial
requirements for, and terms and credit limits extended to, Partner. In the event Partner fails to pay invoices
when due, the parties agree that Catchpoint Systems can then engage directly with the Customer to request
and receive the payment. Partner shall not have, as a result of this Agreement, any right of set-off against
any amount owed to Catchpoint Systems hereunder.

10.3 In order to receive indemnification hereunder, the party requesting indemnification
(“Indemnified Party”) must provide the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) with: (a) prompt written notice
(no later than ninety (90) days) after the Indemnified Party first becomes aware of such a Claim; (b) sole
control and authority over the defense or settlement thereof (the Indemnified Party shall, at its sole expense,

(c) proper and full information as is reasonable, and reasonable assistance to settle and/or defend any such
Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnifying Party shall have sole control and authority over the

requires the Indemnified Party to agree to penalties, liability, fault, or otherwise without the Indemnified
Party’s prior written consent.

12. Confidential Information.
12.1 Obligations. During the terms of this Agreement, either party may provide the other party
with confidential or proprietary materials and information (“Confidential Information”). All materials and
information provided by the disclosing party and identified at the time of disclosure as “Confidential” or
bearing a similar legend, and without a marking requirement where the receiving party knows or reasonably
should understand from the nature of the information involved that it constitutes confidential or trade secret
information, shall be considered Confidential Information. The terms of this Agreement are Confidential
Information, and all pricing terms of a party are such party’s Confidential Information. The receiving party
shall maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information and will not disclose such information to any
third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, or to any employee unless such
employee needs to know for purposes of performance under this Agreement and has agreed in writing to
protect the confidentiality of such information. The receiving party will not modify, copy, reproduce or use
the Confidential Information other than internally for the purposes contemplated hereunder. The obligations
in this Section shall not apply to any information that: (a) is made generally available to the public without
breach of this Agreement; (b) is developed by the receiving party independently from and without reference
to the Confidential Information; (c) is disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without restriction;
or (d) was in the receiving party’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure and was not obtained by the
receiving party either directly or indirectly from the disclosing party. The receiving party may disclose
Confidential Information as required by law or court order; provided that the receiving party provides the
disclosing party with prompt written notice thereof and uses the receiving party’s best efforts to limit
disclosure. At any time, upon the disclosing party’s written request, the receiving party shall return to the
disclosing party all the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in its possession, including, without
limitation, all copies and extracts thereof.
12.2 Confidentiality Agreements. Before allowing any potential Customer, Customer, or other
third party to access any Confidential Information, each party shall ensure that each such potential
Customer, Customer, or other third party is bound by obligations of confidentiality that are equivalent in
substance to the protections and restrictions set forth herein for either party’s Confidential Information and
shall continue with the potential Customer, Customer, or other third party for a period of one (1) year or
until this Agreement is terminated by the provisions set forth herein by either party. The foregoing,
notwithstanding, the duration of all obligations of confidentiality set forth herein is the greater of: (a) two
(2) years from the date of disclosure; or (b) for as long as such Confidential Information is protected under
applicable law.
12.3 Confidentiality Term. The parties agree to hold each other's Confidential Information in
confidence during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of three (3) years thereafter. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Partner will keep the Catchpoint Systems Services confidential indefinitely after termination
or expiration of this Agreement, and the parties will maintain each other’s trade secrets confidential for so
long as they are trade secrets under applicable law. The parties agree, unless required by law or with the
written consent of the other party, not to make each other’s Confidential Information available in any form
to any third party for any purpose except to the extent necessary to exercise its rights under this Agreement,
and to treat Confidential Information of the other party with the same degree of care with which it would
treat its own Confidential Information of a like nature, but in no case with less than a reasonable degree of
care.
12.4 Legal Exception. It shall not be a breach of this section if Confidential Information is
disclosed pursuant to subpoena or other compulsory judicial or administrative process, provided the party
served with such request promptly notifies the other party in writing and provides reasonable assistance so
that the other party may seek a protective order against public disclosure (except to the extent providing
such notification is legally prohibited), and in the event such disclosure is necessary, then only the minimum
required information may be disclosed.
12.5 Recipients. Each party agrees to limit the disclosure of Confidential Information to those
of its employees and agents who have a need to know such Confidential Information, and each party agrees
to take all reasonable steps to ensure that Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its
employees or agents in violation of the terms of this Agreement, shall be liable for any such disclosure or
distribution, and in the event such disclosure is necessary, then only the minimum required information
may be disclosed.
12.6 Restrictions. Each party agrees not to use the other party’s Confidential Information for
any purpose other than the performance of this Agreement. Each party shall not disclose the terms of this
Agreement except as required by law or governmental regulation without the other party’s prior written
consent, except that each party may disclose the terms of this Agreement on a confidential basis to its
accountants, attorneys, parent organizations, Affiliates, and financial advisors and lenders. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, following the termination of this Agreement, Catchpoint Systems may continue to use, in its
sole discretion, any and all Opportunity information provided by Partner.
13. Data Privacy.
13.1 With respect to the Personal Information processed under this Agreement, the parties agree
that each is an independent “controller” or “business” (as such terms are defined by Data Privacy Laws)
with respect to such Personal Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event
will the parties be deemed to be jointly processing Personal Information.
13.2 Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it has and will comply with its obligations
under Data Privacy Laws, including providing all required notices, and obtaining any required consents,
that would permit it to share Personal Information with the other party for the purposes set forth in the
Agreement; (b) it has implemented reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical and technical
safeguards and measures to protect the security of Personal Information that is collected, stored, used,
transmitted, or maintained by it on the other party’s behalf, from any anticipated threats or hazards to the
security or integrity of such information; (c) such safeguards comply with the requirements of applicable
Data Privacy Laws; and (c) it will regularly monitor its security plan to protect against unauthorized access
to or use of such Personal Information (in both hardcopy and softcopy form) that could result in substantial
harm, and will review the scope of security measures at least annually.
13.3 Each party represents and warrants that it has established security incident procedures, and
in the event of a security breach shall immediately activate such procedures and shall notify the other party
within five (5) business days of becoming aware of a possible security breach with respect to such Personal
Information, or as otherwise required by law. Each party agrees that it shall have sole control of any data
breach notification required by applicable law with respect to the Personal Information for which it is
responsible.
13.4 Any Personal Information exchanged under this Agreement is for purposes of facilitating
the services under this Agreement and is not based on a payment or receipt of consideration from the other
party. If the parties determine that a data processing addendum or similar document is required by Data
Privacy Laws, the parties agree to execute such addendum or other document.
14. Information Security.
14.1 Each party shall have and maintain a written information security program (“Information
Security Program”) which shall include all necessary technical, physical, and administrative safeguards
designed to: (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of both parties’ information, including, but not
limited to, Personal Information and Confidential Information (for purposes hereof, collectively,
“Proprietary Information”) in either party’s possession, custody or control; (b) protect against any
foreseeable threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Proprietary Information; (c) protect against
unauthorized access to or use of Proprietary Information; (d) ensure the appropriate disposal of Proprietary
Information; and (e) reasonably and adequately mitigate any exposure of Proprietary Information to
unauthorized individuals.
14.2 In accordance with the foregoing, each party shall, at a minimum:
a. deploy an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), or an
equivalent program, that monitors all traffic entering and leaving the party’s systems;
b. ensure that all of systems are and remain “hardened” including, but not limited to installing
a system firewall, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) wrappers, or similar technology;
c. have systems which are located in secure facilities with physical access controls which
restrict access to authorized individuals only, and such access monitored and recorded for
audit purposes;
d. implement measures to prevent data processing systems from being used, read, copied,
altered, or removed without authorization, such as password guidelines, access
authentication rules, encryption, logging of access, and other technical and administrative
measures; and
e. implement measures to ensure that Proprietary Information is protected against accidental
loss or destruction, such as business continuity and disaster recovery plans and data back-
up procedures.
14.3 At a party’s written request, the other party shall provide to the requesting party
documentation related to their Information Security Program within five (5) business days.
15. Miscellaneous.
15.1 Export Controls. Certain Catchpoint Systems products and technology may be subject to
US and foreign export controls and related trade regulations. Partner shall obtain all necessary
authorization, permits and consents relating to shipments to and installations of the Catchpoint Systems
Services for Customers. Partner agrees to comply with all import and export laws and restrictions and
regulations of the US Department of Commerce and other US or foreign agencies or authorities at its own
expense. Partner agrees not to export or allow the export or re-export of any of the Catchpoint Systems
Services (or technical data or information related hereto) in violation of any applicable laws or regulations,
or without all required licenses and approvals. The foregoing provision relating to sales or shipment
requirements also applies to the sale or shipment to any country, territory, entity, or person subject to US
or foreign trade or economic sanctions or other trade restriction pursuant to which such sale or shipment
would be prohibited absent an applicable license or other authorization.
15.2 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required by or relating
to this Agreement shall be in writing and may be sent by means of express mail, personally delivered, or
mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested, at the address set forth
above, addressed to the attention of “Legal.” Notices shall be deemed received by the next business day if
sent by personal delivery, or within five (5) business days if sent by express, certified or registered mail.
Each party may change its address by giving written notice to the other party in the manner as specified in
this Section.
15.3 Assignment. The appointment of Partner is based upon Partner’s representations and
commitments set forth in this Agreement and Catchpoint Systems’ confidence in Partner, which confidence
is personal in nature. Partner may not assign or transfer (directly, by operation of law, Change of Control,
or otherwise) this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of Catchpoint Systems. “Change of Control” means: (a) a transfer to a single entity, or
group of related entities (whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions), of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the stock, assets, or other equity interests in an entity; or (b) a transfer of the right to direct
the management of such entity. An initial public offering of an entity’s stock shall not constitute a Change
of Control within the meaning of this Agreement.
15.4 Waiver. No waiver under this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in
writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Any such
waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described therein and shall in no
way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Any delay
or forbearance by either party in exercising any right hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of that right.
15.5 Books and Records. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year
thereafter, Catchpoint Systems may request Partner’s cooperation to verify Partner’s general books and
records in relation to Partner’s obligations under this Agreement, provided that: (a) Catchpoint Systems
gives Partner at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice; and (b) Catchpoint Systems may perform such
verification no more than once per year unless a material variance is found during said verification, or other
information is discovered, such that it becomes necessary for Catchpoint Systems to perform more than one
verification during a single year period. Any such verification shall be conducted remotely, during regular
business hours, and shall not unreasonably interfere with Partner’s business activities. All information
disclosed by Partner during the course of the verification shall be deemed Confidential Information subject
to the provisions of Section 12, provided that the designation as Confidential Information shall not be
construed to limit Catchpoint Systems’ right to enforce this Agreement. In the event Catchpoint Systems
determines there is a variance, whether material or not, Partner will be liable to Catchpoint Systems for the
then-current list price value of the Catchpoint Systems Services not in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement and any applicable Customer Service Order.
15.6 Insurance. Each party shall maintain in full force and effect during the term of this
Agreement the following insurance coverage: (a) employer’s liability insurance coverage including bodily
injury coverage, with a minimum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) for each employee;
(b) comprehensive general liability insurance coverage, including contingent coverage, bodily injury, and
property damage with minimum limits of $2,000,000.00 per occurrence, and $5,000,000.00 in the
aggregate; and (c) errors and omissions coverage with a limit of one million dollars ($1,000,000). This
insurance shall continue to be maintained by each party for a period of not less than one (1) year following
termination of this Agreement. Each party shall provide to the other, upon written request, but no more than
once per year, a copy of its certificate of insurance.
15.7 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The rights and obligations of the parties under this
Agreement shall not be governed by the 1980 UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods, but instead shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the country and/or state in which
the relevant Catchpoint Systems contracting entity is incorporated. In the event of any controversy, claim,
or dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, such Claim may be tried solely
in the courts of the city in which the relevant Catchpoint Systems contracting entity’s registered office is
located, and the parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction, forum, and venue of such courts.
15.8 Force Majeure. Except for the parties’ confidentiality obligations, and any infringement of
Catchpoint Systems’ Intellectual Property Rights attributable to Partner, its Affiliates, or its or their
employees, contractors or agents, Partner’s indemnification obligations, and Partner and/or its Affiliate’s
payment obligations hereunder, neither party will be liable for default, or be considered to be in breach of,
this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond such party's reasonable control, including, but
not limited to, acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, third party labor difficulties, fire,
flood or other catastrophe, acts of God, pandemic or epidemic, quarantine, any government authority’s law,
regulation, or act, insurrection, war, terrorism, riots, failure of transportation or power supply, quarantine,
communications outage, internet outage, cyber-attack, or performance (or lack thereof) of third parties.
15.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable for any reason
in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be construed to have been adjusted to the minimum extent necessary
to cure such invalidity or unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall not have the effect of rendering any such provision invalid or
unenforceable in any other case, circumstance, or jurisdiction, or of rendering any other provisions of this
Agreement invalid or unenforceable whatsoever.
15.10 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be intended or
construed to create a relationship of principal and agent, employer and employee, franchisor and franchisee,
master and servant, partnership or joint venture between Catchpoint Systems and Partner. Except as
contemplated by this Agreement, neither party hereto shall possess, nor is it hereby granted, any right or
authority to assume or create any obligation or enter into any agreement, whether express or implied, on
behalf of or in the name of the other party hereto or to bind the other party hereto in any manner whatsoever
without the prior written consent of such other party.
15.11 No Rule of Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be
the language jointly chosen by Catchpoint Systems and Partner to express their mutual intent, and no rule
of strict construction will be applied against either party. No provision of this Agreement will be interpreted
in favor of, or against, either of the parties hereto by reason of such party having drafted such provision or
this Agreement.
15.12 Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Agreement are inserted merely for the
purpose of convenience and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
15.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as specifically provided
herein, supersedes and merges all prior oral and written agreements, discussions and understandings
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and neither of the parties shall be bound by
any conditions, inducements or representations other than as expressly provided for herein.
15.14 Survival. All provisions which by their nature and context impose continuing obligations
on the parties shall survive any termination of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Partner’s
unsatisfied payment obligations.
