1. Subscription, Subscription Licenses, Certain Definitions.

1.01 Order and Subscription. The Services are provided in fulfillment of the Subscription under an applicable Order. Use of and access to the Services provided by Provider is established by and subject to the Order, this Agreement and timely payment of associated Fees for the Subscription and required quantity of Subscription licenses. The “Order” as that term is used herein, (i) is an order placed with and accepted by Provider, pursuant to a quotation or proposal issued by Provider accepted by the Authorized Channel Partner or the Customer, for Subscriptions to the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product(s) ordered therein for, or for the benefit of, the Customer and/or Customer Systems, (ii) has been placed through or in association with an Authorized Channel Partner of Provider, or placed directly with Provider, (iii) will specify the Subscription Term, quantities and associated Fees (iv) will identify which of Customer or Authorized Channel Partner are responsible for paying the applicable Fees to Provider.

1.02 Role of Authorized Channel Partner; Binding Agreement; Effective Date. Certain types of Authorized Channel Partners might, under separate agreements with Customer, provide separate offerings or services (unaffiliated with Provider but in conjunction with which the Services might be included) as an OEM or managed services provider or managed security services provider or similar capacity to the Customer or in relation to Customer Systems, in which case the Authorized Channel Partner is deemed to be an Authorized User of the specific Customer for it and the associated Customer Systems; and in such circumstance, the Authorized Channel Partner also undertakes the obligations of Customer under this Agreement in the same manner as if it were the Customer hereunder. This Agreement, as updated from time to time by Provider, and the terms hereof and thereof, apply to all use of and access to the Services (or any component thereof), are binding upon Customer (and, as applicable for any use by its associated Authorized Channel Partner, and its Authorized Users), and are effective commencing as of the earliest of the time and date of first use, implementation, deployment, commencement or operation of the Services for the Customer or in, on or about any Customer Systems (whether it is by or through Provider, Customer, the associated Authorized Channel Partner, an Authorized User, or otherwise, directly or indirectly), or receipt of any Services, directly or indirectly, by or for the benefit of Customer (the “Effective Date”).

1.03 Invoicing; Responsibility for Fees; Subscription License Quantities. Provider will invoice either the applicable Authorized Channel Partner or Customer for applicable Fees of an Order, depending upon the type of Authorized Channel Partner associated with the Customer and the Order. As between Provider and the Authorized Channel Partner, Provider will follow its applicable Partner Program Guidelines in this regard. If Customer is not invoiced directly by Provider for Fees, then the Authorized Channel Partner associated with the Order bears responsibility to Provider for payment of the Fees with Customer bearing responsibility for payment of the charges to it by the Authorized Channel Partner. If Customer is invoiced directly by Provider for Fees, then it bears responsibility to Provider for payment of the Fees. The required number of Subscription licenses for the Customer’s Subscription for the Services are based upon number of the persons and email addresses that have access to or connect to all or any portion of the Customer’s non-guest Customer Systems (this typically will include but is not limited to regular part-time and full-time employees and contractors; contractors would also include, for example, personnel of the Authorized Channel Partner provided access on Customer’s behalf to the Customer’s network environment, Customer Systems or Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product as an authorized party of the Customer to monitor or manage security services for the Customer). The required Subscription licenses count will be monitored from time to time by the Services, and Customer may be invoiced for shortfalls in the required number of Subscription licenses (when compared to Subscription license quantity purchased by/for the Customer and/or Customer Systems). SUBSCRIPTION LICENSE QUANTITIES ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY PROVIDER AND ITS LICENSORS, AND PROVIDER WILL ACCORDINGLY ISSUE A SUPPLEMENTAL INVOICE FOR A SHORTFALL IN REQUIRED SUBSCRIPTION LICENSE QUANTITIES FOR THE CUSTOMER AND/OR CUSTOMER SYSTEMS. . For sake of clarity, the persons / email addresses do not necessarily have to directly access or use the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product or Services to be included in the required Subscription licenses count.

9. Indemnification Limitations of Liability.

9.01 Provider Indemnification. Subject to the applicable limitations of this Agreement, Provider agrees during the Subscription Term to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all actual, direct, out-of-pocket losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from a claim brought against Customer by any third party (other than the Authorized Channel Partner by or through which Customer submitted the Order or procured the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Products or Services) for infringement by reason of Customer’s (together with its Authorized Users acting on its behalf) use of the Services in the manner as authorized in this Agreement and within the permissible normal operating use of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product, where the Customer’s use infringes the third party claimant’s registered United States trademark or patent (in each case, as in existence at the time of the Customer’s commencement of the applicable Subscription Term of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product), or where the infringement is due to misappropriation of the third party claimant’s U.S. copyright (any such infringement claim as aforesaid is sometimes referred to herein as an “Infringement Claim”). In the event of an actual or threatened Infringement Claim, at Provider’s sole discretion, Provider or its licensors may (i) enable Customer to continue to use the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product and/or Services, as applicable; (ii) modify the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product and/or Services to make it non-infringing; (iii) require Customer to cease use of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Products to the extent they are the subject of the infringement claim (and in the case of this clause (iii), Provider may either make available a non-infringing commercially reasonable and viable substitute for the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product and/or Services and/or components of the Provider Materials for the balance of the theretofore paid then-current Subscription Term, or refund any prepaid but unearned fees (prorated for the balance of the theretofore paid then-current Subscription Term) attributable to the materials or portion of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product with regard to which the use is discontinued, and/or (iv) assume the defense of the Infringement Claim.

9.02 Limitations on Provider Indemnification. Notwithstanding Section 9.01, the obligations of Provider under Section 9.01 shall not apply if the alleged infringement, violation or misappropriation arises, from: (v) Third-Party Materials or Customer Data, (w) use of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product either not in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, or not within the permissible normal operating use of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product, (x) the modification of any Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product not approved by Provider; or (y) combination, operation or use of any Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product with other software, hardware or technology which either do not meet the configuration requirements of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product or are not reasonably required for use of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product, and such infringement arose out of use or combination with such other software, hardware or technology; or (z) use by Customer (and/or its Authorized Users acting on its behalf) of such prior or altered release of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product contrary to a notification by Provider to Customer, if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product that Provider provided or made available to Customer.

9.03 Customer Indemnification. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Provider and its licensors from and against any and all actual, direct, out-of-pocket losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (A) arising from Customer’s misuse of the Impelix IMPACTTM SaaS Subscription Product or the Services (including but not limited to failure to comply with any applicable conditions or or limitations on use thereof provided in this Agreement), and (B) (subject to the applicable limitations of this Agreement) arising from or in connection with an action or proceeding or investigation brought against Provider (or its licensors) by Customer or any third party in relation to any allegation or claim (i) arising out of Customer’s (or its Authorized User’s) non-infringing use of the Services, (ii) arising from the monitoring of Customer Systems or Customer Data by the Services (or components thereof), or (iii) that the Services (or components thereof) detected, reported or failed to detect or report events, breach of security or compromise of, on, within or outside of the Customer Systems.

9.04 Indemnification Procedure. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any claim, action or proceeding for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 9. The party seeking indemnification shall cooperate with the other party and allow the other party (at such other party’s election, as to a third party claim, action or proceeding) to assume control of the defense (together with the costs and attorneys fees of legal counsel appointed by such other party for such defense). In circumstances where said other party has assumed control of the defense, the party seeking indemnification may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The party who assumed the defense shall have authority to defend or settle the claim, action or proceeding (provided that neither party hereto will agree, without the consent of the other party hereto, to a settlement thereof that requires by its terms that such other party hereto to pay money or make material admissions of wrongdoing); otherwise, the party in control of the defense will not settle the matter without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9.05 Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 9 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER'S (TOGETHER WITH ITS AUTHORIZED USERS ACTING ON ITS BEHALF) SOLE REMEDIES AND PROVIDER'S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES AND PROVIDER MATERIALS OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

10. Effect of Termination.

10.01 Cancelation or Termination of Services. A Subscription or Subscription Term may not be canceled (or terminated earlier than the Subscription Term) by Customer or its applicable Authorized Channel Partner, and Fees are non-refundable except and only to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary. In the event Provider discontinues or terminates the Services during an active Subcription Term, then Provider will (if Customer and its Authorized Users have not breached or violated this Agreement) refund a prorated portion of the Fees actually received by Provider directly (either from Customer or from the Authorized Channel Partner) in respect of the balance of the then-current Subscription Term for which Fees were paid to Provider for the Customer’s use of the Services; provided, however, that in no event will Provider be liable or responsible for any damages or consequences arising from its termination of the Services, including but not limited to costs and charges Customer, Authorized Users or an Authorized Channel Partner might incur related to or in connection with procuring or implementing a suitable replacement or substitute for the Services.

10.02 Effect of Termination or Expiration. Upon any expiration or termination of the Services, the Subscription Term or this Agreement, except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement:

Provider shall (i) promptly cease ongoing use of any Customer Data or Customer's Confidential Information, (ii) destroy all hardcopy documents and tangible materials containing, reflecting, incorporating, or based on Customer Data or Customer's Confidential Information; and (ii) permanently erase all Customer Data and Customer's Confidential Information from all systems Provider directly or indirectly controls; provided, however, such requirements shall allow the exception of a copy retained and held in confidence by Provider for legal, regulatory or archive purposes; provided further, however, that Provider's obligations under this Section do not apply to any Resultant Data;

c.

11. Miscellaneous.

11.01 Further Assurances. On a party's reasonable request, the other party shall cooperate and take all such further actions, as may be necessary to give full effect to this Agreement.

11.02 Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

11.03 Public Announcements. Neither party shall issue or release any announcement, statement, press release, or other publicity or marketing materials relating to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that Provider may, without Customer's consent, include Customer's name and other indicia in its lists of Provider's current or former customers of Provider in promotional and marketing materials.

11.04 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any notice, request, consent, claim, demand, waiver, or other communications under this Agreement have legal effect only if in writing and addressed to a party at the address set forth on the applicable Order for the Services (or to such other address or such other person that such party may designate from time to time in accordance with this Section). Notices sent in accordance with this Section will be deemed effectively given: (a) when received, if delivered by hand, with signed confirmation of receipt; (b) when received, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, signature required; and (c) when sent, if by facsimile or email (in each case, with confirmation of transmission), if sent during the addressee's normal business hours, and on the next business day, if sent after the addressee's normal business hours.

11.07 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Services Documents, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to their subject matter and the Services.

Customer and the associated Authorized Channel Partner shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by merger, operation of law, or otherwise, without Provider's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. No assignment, delegation, or transfer will relieve Customer or the associated Authorized Channel Partner of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section is void. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Provider may assign or transfer any or all of its rights and/or interests in or arising out of this Agreement and the Provider Materials, including, without limitation, to a successor to all or substantially all of Provider’s business, securities or assets.

11.09 Force Majeure.

a. No Breach or Default. In no event will Provider be liable or responsible to Customer (or its Authorized Users or associated Authorized Channel Partner), or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond Provider's reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), including (i) acts of God; (ii) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, or explosion; (iii) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (iv) government order, law, or actions; (v) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (vi) national or regional emergency; (vii) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances; and (viii) shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities.

11.12 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.13 Governing Law; Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes; Dispute Resolution.

a. This Agreement shall be governed and construed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and applicable U.S. Federal law, without regard to any conflicts of law principles. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement (and/or the Services or Provider Materials or Provider’s Partner Program), will first be attempted to be resolved by discussion between executive-level representatives of each of the parties. In the event that such dispute cannot be resolved by such discussions, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement (and/or the Services or Provider Materials or Provider’s Partner Program), and/or its validity, enforcement or breach, shall be resolved and settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“Rules”) which are in effect at the time the demand for arbitration is filed. The parties agree the Expedited Procedures under the AAA Rules shall govern the arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in Orange County, California by a single arbitrator. The seat of the arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. In all arbitration proceedings, the substantive law of Delaware shall be applied, without regard to any conflicts of law principles. The parties agree the decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The party requesting arbitration shall submit to AAA and serve upon the other party to the dispute, claim or controversy a written demand for arbitration stating the substance of the dispute, claim or controversy and the contention of the party requesting arbitration. Within twenty-one (21) days after such submission to AAA and service, the parties shall mutually agree upon a single arbitrator who shall be the sole arbitrator for resolution of the dispute, controversy or claim. If the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, the selection of the arbitrator shall be resolved in accordance with the Rules. The parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of the forum so specified.

b. The arbitrator is expressly provided the authority to determine all issues of arbitrability. The arbitrator shall have authority, on application by a party, to award injunctive relief and specific performance, where the failure to observe a unique right or obligation of a party would be incapable of being measured by monetary damages and irreparable damages would result in the event the right or obligation is not specifically enforced. Remedies which any party may be entitled shall be cumulative and not exclusive. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO AWARD SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, COMPENSATORY, PUNITIVE OR SIMILAR TYPES OF DAMAGES, AND THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY SUCH DAMAGES. The cost of any such arbitration shall be divided equally between the parties, or in such fashion as the arbitrator may order. Each party shall bear his, her or its own attorneys’ fees, excepting if and to the extent an applicable binding contractual provision of the contract in dispute provides otherwise.

c. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the arbitration award and any confidential information disclosed in the course of the arbitration proceeding, including the hearing, except (where not reasonably possible to take reasonable measures in the interest of preserving confidentiality) as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or in connection with a court application for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief (as contemplated by these provisions), or in connection with a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or if disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision. Notwithstanding the governing law of this Agreement, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16).

d. Subject to and not in limitation of these provisions, a party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction, to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in emergent circumstances, only to the extent not within the authority of the arbitrator, where the party would be materially and irreparably harmed in the absence of such relief, in each case in aid of the arbitration between the parties, it being understood that a party may not rely on this provision to circumvent the requirement to arbitrate by simply seeking equitable remedies for claims that are reasonably within the scope of matters agreed by the parties to be arbitrated. A PARTY MAY REQUIRE THAT ANY PROCEEDING BE SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIAL PROTECTIVE ORDER REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Customer (together with its Authorized Users acting on its behalf) acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by Customer (or its Authorized Users) of any of its obligations with respect to the Services or Provider Materials, would cause Provider (and/or its licensors) irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, Provider will be entitled to all available remedies at law and in equity and to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond.

e. Subject to the requirement of arbitration as may be prescribed hereunder, each party hereto consents to the personal jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts sitting in Orange County, California with respect to matters that are not subject to arbitration, permissible relief in aid of arbitration, and enforcement of any order or award of the arbitrator. Each party hereto waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all services of process be made by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, directed to it at its address as set forth herein or other last-known address of the party, and service so made shall be deemed to be completed and effective ten (10) days after such mailing. Subject to the foregoing, the parties hereto each waive any objection based on forum non conveniens and waive any objection to venue of any action instituted hereunder. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of the parties hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

11.14 Export Regulation. Customer (together with its Authorized Users acting on its behalf) shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), that prohibit or restrict the export or re-export of the Services or any Customer Data outside the US. Further, Customer (together with its Authorized Users acting on its behalf) shall comply with all export laws and restrictions and regulations of the Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), or other United States or foreign agency or authority, and Customer shall not export, or allow the export or re-export of the Services in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations. By installing or using the Services, Customer (together with its Authorized Users acting on its behalf) agrees to the foregoing and represents and warrants that Customer and Customer Systems are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any restricted country.

11.15 US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the software components that constitute the Services is a “commercial product” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Services and Documentation as are granted to all other end users, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government users and their contractors.

11.16 California Consumer Privacy Act. This Section 11.16 applies for any Customer (together with its Authorized Users acting on its behalf) located in whole or in part in California, doing any business in California, or having any Personal Information of any residents of the State of California.

a. The parties acknowledge and agree that Provider is a service provider for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act, as supplemented by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”) and may receive personal information (as defined by the CCPA) from Customer pursuant to this Agreement for a business purpose. The parties agree to always comply with the applicable provisions of the CCPA in respect to the collection, transmission, and processing of all personal information (as defined by the CCPA) exchanged or shared pursuant to the Agreement or the Services. Provider shall not (i) sell any such personal information; (ii) retain, use or disclose any personal information provided by Customer pursuant to this Agreement except as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Services for Customer pursuant to this Agreement or as permitted by the CCPA; (iii) retain, use, or disclose such personal information for a commercial purpose other than providing the Services unless otherwise explicitly permitted under the Agreement; (iv) retain, use, or disclose such personal information outside of the direct business relationship between Customer and Provider unless otherwise permitted under theAgreement; or (v) combine any such personal information with personal information that it receives from or on behalf of any other person(s) or collects from its own interaction with the consumer, provided that Provider may combine personal information to perform any business purpose as defined in and as permitted under the CCPA. The terms “personal information,” “service provider,” “sale,” “share,” and “sell” are as defined in Section 1798.140 of the CCPA. Customer is responsible for the lawfulness of any such personal information and the receipt, use, and processing of it under the Agreement. Customer represents and warrants that, where it provides personal information to Provider or requests Provider collect or process such information, it (1) has complied with any applicable laws relating to the collection or provision of such information, (2) possesses any consents, authorizations, rights and authority, and has given all required notices to individual data subjects as are required to transfer or permit Provider to collect, receive, or access any personal information for the Services, and (3) to the extent required by applicable law, informed the individuals of the possibility of Provider processing their personal information on Customer’s behalf and in accordance with its instructions.

b. Each party confirms that it understands the requirements and restrictions of this Section and will notify the other party upon determining that it can no longer meet its obligations under the CCPA. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to notify Provider of any requests from consumers (as defined in the CCPA) seeking to exercise rights afforded in the CCPA regarding personal information received or processed in connection with the Services. Provider agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to Customer in connection with such requests.

11.17 Attorneys' Fees. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees in any action or proceeding between the parties, with the exception that Provider shall be entitled to recover from any other party bound by this Agreement the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Provider in such a proceeding for such other party’s misappropriation or misuse of the Services or Provider Materials or any component thereof.

11.18 Electronic Agreement. An electronic copy or reproduction of this Agreement is deemed to have the same legal effect and shall be enforceable as an original signed copy of this Agreement. This Agreement has been (i) executed by Provider by conformed signature of its authorized officer, (ii) entered into by and/or on behalf of the other parties hereto by electronic or digital means as described herein.

This Agreement is entered into and becomes the valid, binding and effective agreement of Provider, Customer and (as applicable) Authorized Channel Partner as of the Effective Date.
