Support Hours During the term of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall provide unlimited support and technical assistance to COUNTY’s designated representatives by toll-free phone, online chat, email, and CONTRACTOR’s online customer support portal access including self-service knowledge base. Social Solutions Customer Support shall be available by phone and email during the following business hours: Monday – Friday 4:00 am – 5:00 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST). Chat support shall be available Monday – Friday 6:00 am – 2:00 pm (PST) Social Solutions Customer Support checks email for major issues from 5:00 pm – 8:00pm (PST) Monday – Thursday, 3:00 pm – 8:00 pm (PST) on Friday, and 7:00 am – 5:00 pm (PST) on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. This is only intended to be used for major issues; for example, a server running out of memory or a reporting server down. 7. Resolution Time for Basic Support Targeted support (non-development related issue) resolution time is eight business hours from initial response (this does not include time when the support representative is waiting for a response from the user). Resolution time is highly dependent on the detailed information provided by the user. 8. Customer Support: Errors Errors are defined in Exhibit D. If the user is experiencing something that they believe to be an Error in the software, the user should contact Customer Support and provide detailed instructions on how to reproduce the Error. A representative will log in as/with the user to diagnose the issue and determine if it is an Error. When users contact Customer Support with a potential Error, a case will be entered into the CRM system. If it is determined that the reported problem is an Error, an issue will be logged in the system in addition to the case. The user will be given an issue number to track the Error. The representative will Exhibit A Page 6 of 9 assign a severity to the issue based on the criteria described below; the resolution time is highly dependent on the severity. A user has the right to provide feedback regarding the severity of the issue based on the priority for their organization. Each time a user contacts support with a different issue, a new case number and an issue number will be provided to the user. The user will receive communication from Customer Support on the status of the issue based on the criteria set below. CONTRACTOR typically deploys three to four major updates/releases to the software per year, along with monthly maintenance releases. Users are given advanced notification of maintenance periods and upcoming updates on the login page and via an e-newsletter. There are four levels of severity for issues. Each issue is prioritized based on its severity level. Severity Issue Criteria Target Resolution Time Communication and Escalation 1 – “Show- Stopper” Major functionality issue that prevents user from being able to use software. The Development Team works to resolve these issues immediately with a target resolution of two business days or less. Customer Support will provide daily updates of the status of the issue until such time as the issue is resolved. Escalation of the issue to the COO will occur if issue is not resolved within the target resolution time. Exhibit A Page 7 of 9 1 – “Non Show- Stopper” Major functionality issue which does not have a workaround that is key to ETO’s performance and causes major impact to user’s ability to operate their organization. The Development Team works to resolve these issues immediately with a target resolution of 10 business days. User may elect to have Customer Support provide updates on a daily basis, every other day, or whenever there is an update in the defect’s remediation. Escalation of the issue to the COO will occur if issue is not resolved within the “target.” 2 A major function does not work in a core area of ETO, but there is a workaround. However, the workaround is time consuming. The Development Team will fix within its normal release cycle. The target is to fix these issues within 30-120 days. Users will receive an automated update when the issue resolution is scheduled to be deployed. 3 Minor functionality less key to ETO is not working or there is functionality that is not working but there is an easy workaround. These issues will be targeted to be addressed when there is work being done in the functional area that contains the defect. Issue can be categorized as a higher priority if it is affecting a large number of users. Status will be provided via customer portal and users will receive an automated update when the resolution is scheduled to be deployed. 4 Cosmetic or inconsistency issues that do not affect functionality in any significant way. These issues will be targeted to be addressed when there is work being done in the functional area that contains the defect. Status will be provided via customer portal and users will receive an automated update when the resolution is scheduled to be deployed. Exhibit A Page 8 of 9 9. Resolution Time for Issues/Defects These targeted resolution times only apply to core functionality, except if the functionality affected is completely hindering a user’s ability to work and use the software. C. Managed Services Package CONTRACTOR shall provide a Managed Services package to County. Cost of the Managed Services is noted in Exhibit B. Managed Services consist of 50 hours of services per 12-month term. Unused hours remaining at the end of each 12-month term will expire and not roll over to the following year.

Confidential Information of SSG and/or its licensors includes but is not limited to all trade secrets, software, source code, object code, specifications, documentation, business plans, customer lists and customer-related information, financial information, auditors reports of any nature, proposals, as well as results of testing and benchmarking of the Services, product roadmap, data and other information of SSG and its licensors relating to or embodied in the Services. Information shall not be considered Confidential Information to the extent, but only to the extent, that the receiving party can establish that such information (i) is or becomes generally known or available to the public through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) was in the receiving party's possession before receipt from the disclosing party; (iii) is lawfully obtained from a third party who has the right to make such disclosure on a non- confidential basis; or (iv) has been independently developed by one party without reference to any Confidential Information of the other. The obligations of SSG set forth in this section 6 shall not apply to any suggestions and feedback for product or service improvement, correction, or modification provided by Client in connection with any present or future SSG product or service, and, accordingly, neither SSG nor any of its clients or business partners shall have any obligation or liability to Client with respect to any use or disclosure of such information. 7 TERMINATION 7.1 Termination. Either party may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice at any time if: (i) the other party commits a non-remediable material breach of the Agreement, or if the other party fails to cure any remediable material breach or provide a written plan of cure acceptable to the non-breaching party within 30 days of being notified in writing of such breach, or (ii) the other party ceases business operations; or (iii) the other party becomes insolvent, generally stops paying its debts as they become due or seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against the other (and not dismissed within 90 days after commencement of one of the foregoing events). If SSG terminates this Agreement for Client’s non-payment, Client agrees to pay to SSG the remaining value of the then-current initial or renewal term (that Client acknowledges as liquidated damages reflecting a reasonable measure of actual damages and not a penalty) equal to the aggregate recurring fees (as set forth in the Order Form) that will become due during the canceled portion of such Initial or renewal term. Where a party has rights to terminate, the non-breaching party may at its discretion either terminate the entire Agreement or the applicable Order Form or SOW. Order Forms and SOWs that are not terminated shall continue in full force and effect under the terms of this Agreement. 7.2 Suspension. SSG will be entitled to suspend any or all Services upon 10 days written notice to Client in the event Client is in breach of this Agreement. Further, SSG may suspend Client’s access and use of the SaaS Services if, and so long as, in SSG’s sole judgment, there is a security risk created by Client that may interfere with the proper continued provision of the SaaS Services or the operation of SSG’s network or systems. SSG may impose an additional charge to reinstate service following such suspension. 7.3 Data Retention. SSG has no obligation to retain Customer data after three months of the expiration or termination of SaaS Services. 7.4 Survival. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 8 MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 Waiver. The failure of either party at any time to enforce any right or remedy available to it under this Agreement with respect to any breach or failure by the other party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such right or remedy with respect to any other breach or failure by the other party. 8.2 Assignment. SSG may assign the Agreement to an affiliate, a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or consolidation, or to the purchaser in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Client may not assign the Agreement or any of the rights or obligations under the Agreement, without the prior written consent of SSG.
