of any conflict between this Agreement and a Schedule, the terms of the Schedule shall govern. In the event of any conflict
between any two Schedules for a particular Application, the latest in time shall govern.
2. Use of Applications. You grant us the exclusive right and license to install, maintain, and derive revenue from the
Applications through our inmate systems (including, without limitation, the related hardware and software) (the "System'')
located in and around the inmate confinement facilities identified on the Schedules (the "Facilities''). You are responsible for
the manner in which you use the Applications. Unless expressly permitted by a Schedule or separate written agreement
with us, you will not resell the Applications or provide access to the Applications (other than as expressly provided in a
particular Schedule), directly or indirectly, to third parties. During the term of this Agreement and subject to the remaining
terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider shall be the sole and exclusive provider of existing and any future inmate
related communications, whether fixed, mobile or otherwise, including but not limited to voice, video, and data (e.g., phone
calls, video calls, messaging, prepaid calling cards, debit calling, and e-mail) and inmate software applications (e.g.,
automated grievance filing system, law library, etc.) at all existing and future correctional facilities under the authority of
Customer in lieu of any other third party providing such inmate communications, including without limitation, Customer's

Agreements on your behalf. Your rights to use any third-party software product that we provide shall be limited by the terms
of the underlying license that we obtained for such product. The Software is to be used solely for your internal business
purposes in connection with the Applications at the Facilities. You will not (i) permit any parent, subsidiary, affiliated entity,
or third party to use the Software, (ii) assign, sublicense, lease, encumber, or otherwise transfer or attempt to transfer the
Software or any portion thereof, (iii) process or permit to be processed any data of any other party with the Software, (iv)
alter, maintain, enhance, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise modify the Software or allow any third
party to do so, (v) connect the Software to any products that we did not furnish or approve in writing, or (vi) ship, transfer,
or export the Software into any country, or use the Software in any manner prohibited by the export laws of the United
States. We are not liable with regard to any Software that you use in a prohibited manner.
7. Ownership and Use. The System, the Applications, and related records, data, and information (excepting recorded
communications, for which you retain ownership) shall at all times remain our sole and exclusive property unless prohibited
by law, in which event, we shall have the unlimited right to use such records, data, and information for investigative and law
enforcement purposes. However, during the term of this Agreement and for a reasonable period of time thereafter, we will
provide you with reasonable access to the records. We (or our licensors, if any) have and will retain all right, title, interest,
and ownership in and to (i) the Software and any copies, custom versions, modifications, or updates of the Software, (ii) all
related documentation, and (iii) any trade secrets, know-how, methodologies, and processes related to our Applications, the
System, and our other products and services (the "Materials"). The Materials constitute proprietary information and trade
secrets of Provider and its licensors, whether or not any portion thereof is or may be the subject of a valid copyright or
patent.

inmate or other administrative telephone calls, or transmit or receive inmate electronic messages (''e-mail"); by providing
the Application, we make no representation or warranty as to the legality of recording or monitoring inmate or
administrative telephone calls or transmitting or receiving inmate e-mail messages. Further, you retain custody and

store, and access recordings or inmate calls and access inmate e-mail messages for purposes of (i) complying with the
requests of officials at the Facility, (ii) disclosing information to requesting law enforcement and correctional officials as they
may require for investigative, penological or public safety purposes, (iii) performing billing and collection functions, or (iv)
maintaining equipment and quality control purposes. This license does not apply to recordings of inmate calls or e-mail
messages with their attorneys or to recordings or e-mail messages protected from disclosure by other applicable privileges.
9. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.
The System, Applications, and related call records and information (the
"Confidential Information") shall at all times remain confidential to Provider. You agree that you will not disclose such
Confidential Information to any third party without our prior written consent. Because you will be able to access confidential
information of third parties that is protected by certain federal and state privacy laws through the Software and Applications,
you shall only access the Software with computer systems that have effective firewall and anti-virus protection. Moreover,
you acknowledge that the contents of this contract constitute proprietary trade secrets and represent that you have not
disclosed the terms and conditions of this Agreement to anyone outside of your organization save your legal representative.
You warrant that you will keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential and, unless required by court order
or statute, will not disclose such information without Provider's express written consent (except that you may disclose the
contents of this Agreement to your attorney or tax advisor, if any, but only after informing those persons that they must
keep confidential the information contained herein). Before complying with any such court order or statute, you agree to
notify Provider so that it may assert any rights to non-disclosure that it may have under the applicable law.

10. Claims. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, each party by itself and/or its employees, agents, or contractors
agrees to be responsible for any loss, cost, claim, liability, damage, and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) (collectively "Claims'1 arising out of (i) a breach of its own representations, warranties, and/or
covenants contained herein, or (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) actual or alleged intellectual property
infringement.
Furthermore, the parties understand and agree that each one is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and
each party bears the burden of its own compliance. Provider agrees to install and implement the Inmate Telephone System
according to the law governing Provider, the instruction it receives from Customer as to Customer's requirements under the
law, and according to Customer's facility's demographics. Customer agrees to indemnify Provider against any and all Claims
arising out of or related to instruction Provider receives from Customer.

11. Insurance. We maintain comprehensive general liability· insurance having limits of not less than $2,000,000.00 in the
aggregate. You agree to provide us with reasonable and timely written notice of any claim, demand, or cause of action
made or brought against you arising out of or related to the utilization of the Applications and the System in which the
Provider is brought in as a co-defendant in the Claim. We have the right to defend any such claim, demand, or cause of
action at our sole cost and expense and within our sole and exclusive discretion. You agree not to compromise or settle any
claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Applications or System without our prior written consent,
and you are required to assist us with our defense of any such claim, demand, or cause of action.
12. Default and Termination. If either party defaults in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement, then the
non-defaulting party shall give the defaulting party written notice of its default setting forth with specificity the nature of the
Master Services Agreement - Page 2 of 12

© Securus Technologies, Inc. - Proprietary & Confidential

default. If the defaulting party fails to cure its default within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of default, then the
non-defaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice and pursue all
other remedies available to the non-defaulting party, either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the thirty
(30) day cure period shall be extended to ninety (90) days if the default is not reasonably susceptible to cure within such
thirty (30) day period, but only if the defaulting party has begun to cure the default during the thirty (30) day period and
diligently pursues the cure of such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you breach your obligations in the section
entitled "Software License" or the section entitled "Confidentiality", then we shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
immediately.
13. Limitation of Liabilitv. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY
SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR
INCOME, LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, OR LOSS OF USE OR OTHER BENEFITS, HOWSOEVER CAUSED AND EVEN IF DUE
TO THE PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHER FAULT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT WE PAID YOU DURING
THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD BEFORE THE DATE THE CLAIM AROSE.
14. Uncontrollable Circumstance. We reserve the right to renegotiate or terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days
advance written notice if circumstances outside our control related to the Facilities (including, without limitation, changes in
rates, regulations, or operations mandated by law; material reduction in inmate population or capacity; material changes in
jail policy or economic conditions; acts of God; actions you take for security reasons (such as lock-downs)) negatively impact
our business; however, we shall not unreasonably exercise such right. Further, Customer acknowledges that Provider's
provision of the services is subject to certain federal, state or local regulatory requirements and restrictions which are
subject to change from time-to-time and nothing contained herein to the contrary shall restrict Provider from taking any
steps necessary to perform in compliance therewith.
15. Injunctive Relief. Both parties agree that a breach of any of the obligations set forth in the sections entitled "Software
License," "Ownership and Use," and "Confidentiality" would irreparably damage and create undue hardships for the other
party. Therefore, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to immediate court ordered injunctive relief to stop any apparent
breach of such sections, such remedy being in addition to any other remedies available to such non-breaching party.
16. Force Majeure. Either party may be excused from performance under this Agreement to the extent that performance is
prevented by any act of God, war, civil disturbance, terrorism, strikes, supply or market, failure of a third party's
performance, failure, fluctuation or non-availability of electrical power, heat, light, air conditioning or telecommunications
equipment, other equipment failure or similar event beyond its reasonable control; provided, however that the affected
party shall use reasonable efforts to remove such causes of non-performance.
17. Notices. Any notice or demand made by either party under the terms of this Agreement or under any statute shall be in
writing and shall be given by personal delivery; registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid; or commercial cour.ier
delivery service, to the address below the party's signature below, or to such other address as a party may designate by
written notice in compliance with this section. Notices shall be deemed delivered as follows: personal delivery - upon
receipt; U.S. mail - five days after deposit; and courier - when delivered as shown by courier records.
18. No Third-party Beneficiarv Rights. The parties do not intend to create in any other individual or entity the status of a
third-party beneficiary, and this Agreement shall not be construed so as to create such status. The rights, duties, and
obligations contained herein shall operate only between the parties and shall inure solely to their benefit. The provisions of
this Agreement are intended to assist only the parties in determining and performing their obligations hereunder, and the
parties intend and expressly agree that they alone shall have any legal or equitable right to seek to enforce th is Agreement,
to seek any remedy arising out of a party's performance or failure to perform any term or condition of this Agreement, or to
bring an action for the breach of this Agreement.
19. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.
No waiver by either party of any event of default under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent default
under the terms of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions shall remain unaffected. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of Provider and Customer and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except for assignments to our affiliates or
to any entity that succeeds to our business in connection with a merger or acquisition, neither party may assign this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Each signatory to this Agreement warrants and represents
that he or she has the unrestricted right and requisite authority to enter into and execute this Agreement, to bind his or her
respective party, and to authorize the installation and operation of the System. Provider and Customer each shall comply, at

Telecommunications System. Regulatory required and other items such as federal, state and local charges, taxes and fees,

and promotional programs are excluded from revenue to the Provider. We shall remit the Commission for a calendar month

All Commission payments shall be final and binding upon you unless we receive written objection within sixty (60) days after

call is attempted but there is no account or calling card open or in use to pay for the call, the call can be routed to the
Instant Pay Program. The Instant Pay Program will offer the called party additional options to connect the call as well as
provide information and promotional messaging on how to create a prepaid AdvanceConnect™ Account.
COMPENSATION
Pay Now™. Pay Now™ is an instant paid payment product available to facilities that have the Instant Pay promotional
calling program installed that allows the called party to instantly pay for a single call using a debit or credit card in real-time
as the call is being initiated. With Pay Now™, the called patty may immediately pay using a credit or debit card for one
single call or may elect to setup and / or fund a prepaid AdvanceConnect account. Provider will compensate Customer at a
rate of one and 60/100 dollars ($1.60) for each call accepted and paid for using Pay Now™. Pay Now™ is not subject to any

members quickly and to encourage them to set up a prepaid AdvanceConnect™ account. If (a) an inmate attempts a call to
a mobile phone, (b) the facility allows calls to mobile phones, and (c) the call cannot be billed by Provider, then call control
will be assumed by our third-party provider. Our third-party provider will prompt the called party to double opt-in to accept
and confirm the charges for a premium SMS text message and continue the call. Charges for the message are billed by the
called party's mobile provider on their mobile phone bill. The called party receives a text message receipt for the call charges
and is given instructions on how to open a prepaid AdvanceConnect™ account. Text2Connect™ is available through our
third-party processor who maintains relationships with select mobile phone companies around the country and manages the
connection.
Text2Connect™ promotional calls are not commissionable, and Provider will pay Customer a bonus payment of thirty cents
($0.30) for each transaction fee billed and collected by the wireless carrier completed through the Text2Connect™ platform.
Bonus payments for each applicable connection will be added to your existing monthly commission statement.
