implementation services agreement dated the same date as the Effective Date (the
"Software Implementation Services Agreement");
2. The Organization wishes to receive support and maintenance services related to the
Software;and
Harris has agreed to provide the support and maintenance services related to the Software
on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE,in consideration of the mutual covenants set out in this Agreement
and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged),the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Throughout this Agreement,the following words and expressions shall have
the following meanings. All defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Software License Agreement.
(a) "Update" means a minor release of the Software which includes minor published
modifications or enhancements to the Software related to a bug fix, minor
additional functionality or legislative changes. An Update is designated by a
change in the right-most digit in the version number (for example, a change from

(b) "Upgrade" means a major release of the Software which is a complete new
published version of the Software that [significantly] modifies,revises or alters the

the version number(for example,a change from l.X to 2.X).
(c) "Release"means Updates and Upgrades. All Releases are provided in object code.
2. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Change Order document referred to
herein and the schedules and exhibits hereto) supersedes all prior representations,
arrangements, negotiations, understandings and agreements between the parties, both
written and oral,relating to the subject matter hereof and sets forth the entire and exclusive
agreement and understanding between Harris and Organization relating to the subject
matter hereof. The terms of this Agreement may not be changed except by an amendment
signed by the authorized representative of each party. No provisions in any purchase
orders, or in any other documentation employed by Organization in connection with this
Agreement, regardless of the date of such documentation, will affect the terms of this
Agreement, even if such document is accepted by Harris, with such provisions being
deemed deleted.
3. Support Services. Harris shall provide support services as provided by this Agreement
and in accordance with the Standard Support and Maintenance Services—Harris Standard
Guidelines, as may be modified or supplemented from time to time by Harris in its sole
discretion so long as such changes do not diminish the overall level of services, a current
copy of which as of the Effective Date is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2 (the
"Support and Maintenance Services"). Support and Maintenance Services shall be
provided primarily via telephone and electronic mail, and Harris will provide site visits at
Customer's request subject to additional fees or when deemed necessary by Harris, in its
sole discretion,to resolve an issue. The Support Services will be provided only during the
hours of operation as described in Exhibit 2 hereto and which are in effect as of the Start
Date (as defined below). To enable Harris to provide effective Support and Maintenance
Services, the Organization will establish auto remote access procedures compatible with
Harris's then current practices which may be revised over time.
4. Support and Maintenance Fee. In consideration for the Support and Maintenance
Services, Organization shall pay the "Support and Maintenance Fee" as detailed in
Exhibit 1 below. The Support and Maintenance Fee will be billed annually in advance.
The first billing date shall be the pro rata amount for the period beginning on the date the
Software is Go-Live in the production environment (the "Start Date's to the "Renewal
Date",which is defined as being January 1 of the following calendar year. Thereafter,the
Support and Maintenance Fee shall be paid for the period beginning on each subsequent

Support and Maintenance Fee shall be fixed for the first five (5) years of support in
accordance with the rates provided for in Exhibit 1. Organization shall only be billed once
per year. The Support and Maintenance Fees shall increase where a reorganization occurs
or due to any additional Licenses or other growth of Organization during the term based
upon Harris's then current billing practices.
-2-
5. Billable Fees. In addition to the Support and Maintenance Fee, the Organization shall
reimburse Harris for fees related to support and maintenance services for Third Party
Software and for Harris's direct expenses in providing support services pursuant to this
Agreement for services that are not included in this Agreement ("Billable Fees'). The
Billable Fees will cover expenses related to the installation/implementation of an Upgrade,
any necessary services provided at Organization's premises, and at any other time when
the parties may agree that additional services are required. The Billable Fees include as of

case such updated policies shall apply for purposes of this Agreement upon the
Organization's written approval of such updates.
6. Upgrades. Conditional upon Organization paying the Support and Maintenance Fee, the
Billable Fees, and any other additional amounts applicable to such Upgrades,Harris shall
supply Upgrades to Organization. Upgrades may require additional services to be
performed by Harris outside of the scope of the Support and Maintenance Services

Agreement and professional services for the installation and implementation of the
Upgrade that will be subject to Harris's then-prevailing policies, terms and Billable Fees
related to pricing and hourly rates.

Subject: iNovah Renewal
Hi Ikhra,
I've reviewed the request for renewal and have a few questions and concerns.
First, the contract packet itself includes the wrong original contract. It looks to me like the first
page is the software and maintenance contract, then the software implementation agreement is
inserted. Please see my notes in the attached PDF. This also looks to be incorrect in Laserfiche. I
found the correct contract in my files, so you'll want to delete the software implementation
contract and insert the correct original agreement.
Second, can you please send me the breakdown of what has already been approved and where
we are regarding signature authority? Council originally authorized $300K, so the Mayor will
have authority to sign renewals up to $200K. I can't tell where we are.
Once I have the updated contract packet and this breakdown, I can finish my review. Please let
me know if you have questions.
Thanks!
Christina
