4.0 WARRANTIES WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS
It is understood and agreed that ICS is skilled in the position of work
agreed to be done under this agreement and that City relies upon the
skill of ICS to do and perform the work in the most skillful manner.
The City acknowledges that ICS has relied upon the City's
representations of truthfulness and accuracy of information supplied
regarding all software programs. The acceptance of the Contract for the
work covered by said Contract shall constitute an agreement by ICS that
all requirements of the Contract and the warranties included in ICS's
specifications and contract documents are hereby made effective and
binding upon ICS. ICS warrants that the material and all parts thereof
furnished by ICS whether or not manufactured by ICS, shall be the kind,
quality, and performance described in the contract documents and shall
be free of known defects in workmanship of merchantable quality and
shall be fit for their intended purpose for a period of ninety (90) days
after acceptance by the City. If during the ninety (90) day warranty
period the City notifies ICS in writing that such Licensee suspects an
error, defect, irregularity, or dysfunction with program logic or
documentation, ICS shall use its best efforts to confirm and identify
the existence of such an error without charge to the city and take
prompt action to correct the error, defect, irregularity, or dysfunction.
Should no error be found to exist the City agrees to pay ICS its usual
rates for time expended to prove that no error existed. ICS shall
acknowledge receipt of such notice of defect or nonconformity and shall
inform the City in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such
notice as to whether:
1. ICS will , at ICS's expense, immediately repair or replace the
material or otherwise correct work so that it will meet and conform
to the warranties specified above, provided, however, that if ICS
should elect to repair said material , such repair shall be effected
in such a manner as not to interfere with operations conducted by
City; or
- 7 -
2. ICS authorizes the City to repair the material , or have it repaired,
or otherwise correct the nonconformity, or have it corrected, so that
the material will meet and conform to the warranty specified above,
and agrees to pay City the cost of such repair, replacement, or
correction.
In those cases during the warranty period where the City notifies ICS
that an emergency exists, ICS shall respond within four (4) hours to
resolve the alleged error, defect, irregularity or dysfunction. If ICS
is obligated to correct defects as herein provided, the warranty period
for the repaired or replaced material shall extend for the same period
as the original warranty from completion of repair or installation of
such material provided the same is not unreasonably delayed by the
City. The parties shall mutually negotiate any cost due the City
arising from City's inability to operate said application. If no
agreement can be reached by the parties, then they agree to submit the
dispute for resolution under Section 13.

ICS warrants that the software will perform those functions described in
accordance with referenced contract documents, and that the software is
now functional on Hewlett Packard's "Precision Architecture" systems in
compatibility mode.
5.0 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
It is agreed that if ICS shall replace, repair, or otherwise correct a
defect or nonconformity or authorize the City to repair, replace, or
otherwise correct an alleged defect or nonconformity, and ICS pays for
or agrees in writing to pay such costs, such ICS action or payment shall
constitute fulfillment of all liabilities of ICS to the City for any
claim based upon such alleged defect or nonconformity. ICS shall not
thereafter be liable for any alleged damages resulting to the City as a
result of such failure. If ICS so replaces, repairs or otherwise
corrects the defect or nonconformity, or so authorized the City to
repair, replace or otherwise correct the defect or nonconformity and
pays the cost of such repair, replacement or other correction, and it
- 8 -
subsequently is determined, either by agreement between City and ICS or
any court of competent jurisdiction, that ICS was not responsible for
such defect or nonconformity, the City shall repay or refund the sum so

ATTACHMENT A
NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
Whereas, Idaho Computer Services, Inc. , (hereinafter "ICS") , an Idaho
Corporation doing business at Twin Falls, Idaho, is the owner of certain
computer software programs; and
Whereas, the City of Kent (hereinafter the City) , a Washington City whose
offices are located at 220 4th Avenue S. , Kent, Washington 98032, desires to
utilize software under the provisions of a contract executed on or about
October 31, 1989 with ICS which granted a nonexclusive license for use of the
software; NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND
CONDITIONS, it is hereby agreed by the parties that:
1.0 DISCLOSURE TO CITY
ICS will disclose such information and materials relative to its
computer programs for the City to understand the capabilities and
content thereof. It is understood that the information and materials so
provided is confidential to and contains trade secrets of ICS.
2.0 CITY ACCESS TO SOFTWARE
Use of information and materials supplied to the City by ICS is strictly
limited. The City by its execution of this agreement agrees to notify
ICS upon request as to the identities of all persons who have access to
said information and data. Disclosure is strictly limited to such
employees and/or elected officials of the City.
3.0 CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES AND STATE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT
The City will make every attempt to protect ICS's municipal utility
billing software (hereafter "software") as legitimate trade secrets.
ICS should be aware that the City is required by law to make its records
available to public inspection and copying with certain exceptions.
(See RCW Chapter 42.17) . It is the City's belief that its legal
obligation would not require the disclosure of any proprietary
descriptive software, literature, design, drawings or formula. Any
proprietary information contained in ICS software, including all
- 18 -
contract documents, should therefore be clearly designated by ICS as
"Proprietary Information" . In the event the City is required by
operation of law or court order to disclose any such material , ICS
acknowledges that the City will not incur any liability or objection.
If disclosed under either method, the City will advise the requestor
that it may be required to purchase a license from ICS in the event it
seeks examination or disclosure of ICS's software. The City agrees to
notify ICS if a request for disclosure is made so that ICS may contest
the third party's right to compel the City's production of such
information and materials.
4.0 DISCLOSURE BY CITY TO THIRD PARTIES
The City agrees that it will neither disclose information nor materials
provided under this agreement to any party or parties not in the direct
employ of the City and/or so identified to ICS, nor will it use the
information provided in competition with ICS directly or indirectly in
any market where the software programs might find application. Other
than provisions contained in the License Contract, the sale or donation
by the City of any such information or materials provided to the City
under this agreement is expressly prohibited.
5.0 CITY'S COOPERATION IN PROTECTING ICS'S PROPERTY
In the event the City shall become aware that any person or entity
(including, without limitation, employees of the City) is taking or
threatens to take any action which would violate any of the foregoing
provisions, the City shall promptly and fully advise ICS (with written
confirmation as soon as practical thereafter) of all facts known to the
City concerning such action or threatened action. The City shall not in
any way aid, abet, or encourage any such action or threatened action.
The City shall cooperate in all ways reasonably requested by ICS to
prevent or stop the taking of any such action or threatened action
including without limitation, instituting or permitting to be instituted
in the City's own name (but solely at the expense of ICS) legal action
to prevent such action or threatened action, and shall otherwise do all
things and cooperate in all ways as may be reasonably requested to
protect ICS's interests and property rights in the software. ICS agrees
- 19 -
to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City from any action, claim,
demand, allegation of injury to any corporation, person, or business
