Schedule for so long as we continue to provide the Application to you after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement.

access and use certain proprietary computer software products and materials in connection with the Applications (the
“Software”). The Software includes any upgrades, modifications, updates, and additions to existing features that we
implement in our discretion (the “Updates”). Updates do not include additional features and significant enhancements to
existing features. Your rights to use any third-party software product that we provide shall be limited by the terms of the

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 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.
8. Legality. The System may allow you to monitor and record inmate telephone calls. By providing the System, we make
no representation or warranty as to the legality of recording or monitoring inmate telephone calls. Further, you retain custody
and ownership of all recordings; however you grant us the right to access such recordings on a limited basis for quality
control purposes.

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.

party (the “Indemnifying Party”) will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) from and
against any loss, cost, claim, liability, damage, and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees)
brought or claimed by third parties (“Claims”), arising out of gross negligence, willful misconduct, intellectual property
infringement or alleged intellectual property infringement by the Indemnifying Party, its employees, agents, or contractors in
the performance of this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in writing of any
Claims for which the Indemnified Party alleges that the Indemnifying Party is responsible under this section and tender the
defense of such Claims to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in every reasonable manner with
the defense or settlement of such Claims at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
under this section for settlements by the Indemnified Party of any Claims unless the Indemnifying Party has approved the
settlement in advance or unless the defense of such Claims has been tendered to the Indemnifying Party in writing and the
Indemnifying Party has failed to promptly undertake the defense.
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. 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 utilization 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
default. If the defaulting party fails to cure its default within 30 days after receipt of the notice of default, then the nondefaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 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 30 day cure period shall
be extended to 90 days if the default is not reasonably susceptible to cure within such 30 day period, but only if the
defaulting party has begun to cure the default during the 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 Liability. 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 12 MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE THE
CLAIM AROSE.
14.
Uncontrollable Circumstance. We reserve the right to renegotiate or terminate this Agreement upon 60 days
advance written notice if circumstances other than those under 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 lockdowns)) 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 courier
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. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

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. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
or construed by the parties or any other entity to create an agency, partnership, or joint venture between Customer and
Provider. This Agreement cannot be modified orally and can only be modified by a written instrument signed by all parties.
The parties’ rights and obligations, which by their nature would extend beyond the termination, cancellation, or expiration of
this Agreement, shall survive such termination, cancellation, or expiration (including, without limitation, any payment
obligations for services or equipment received prior to such termination, cancellation, or expiration). This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall be fully effective as an original, and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and Schedules, constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties regarding the subject matter set forth herein and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous oral or written
agreements regarding the subject matter set forth herein.
