CEO One Stop, LLC Software Maintenance Terms and Conditions

1. General. This agreement (the “Software Maintenance Agreement”) constitutes an offer by CEO One Stop, LLC (“CEO”) to provide to the customer (“Customer”) certain services described herein relating to the CFO Genie “SOFTWARE”. The Software Maintenance Agreement shall be effective as of the date Customer first receives the SOFTWARE (the “Effective Date”). If these terms are considered an offer by CEO, Customer’s acceptance is expressly limited to these terms. Any additional or different terms or conditions proposed by Customer shall not become part of this Agreement. To the extent that a purchase order or other form is used by Customer for accounting convenience, CEO objects to any proposed changes. Subject to the terms hereof, CEO will provide Support Services to Customer for the number of copies of SOFTWARE for which Support Services are indicated on the Purchase documents.

2. Support Services. Support Services consist of (a) Error Correction and Telephone and/or email Support provided to the Technical Support Contact concerning the installation and use of the then current release of SOFTWARE and the Previous Sequential Release thereof and (b) Product Updates/Upgrades that CEO in its sole discretion makes generally available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed as a guarantee that CEO will release Product Updates/Upgrades during the term, or any renewal term, of this Software Maintenance Agreement. A “Product Upgrade” is a new software product that contains enhancements to the SOFTWARE. CEO shall advise Customer of recent Product Upgrades. “Upgrades” are covered by the Annual Maintenance Fee. All Product Updates and Upgrades provided to Customer hereunder shall be governed by the terms of the applicable license agreement(s) (including without limitation the Software License Agreement and/or End-User License Agreement) relating to the SOFTWARE (collectively, the “License Agreement”). Customer shall pay CEO, at CEO’ then-current standard consulting rates plus related expenses incurred therewith, for all additional services requested by the Customer and rendered by CEO hereunder, including without limitation re-installation of any SOFTWARE as a result of hardware or software upgrades.

3. Term and Termination. Support Services shall be provided for one (1) year from the Effective Date. For each year that Customer pays the Annual Maintenance Fee on or before the anniversary Date, Support Services shall be extended for one (1) year from such Effective Date, unless terminated by either party as provided herein or unless the License in the License Agreement terminates, in which case Support Services will terminate concurrently with termination of the License. CEO may suspend or cancel Support Services if Customer breaches either the License Agreement or Section 4 below or any other material provision of the Software Maintenance Agreement and such breach is not remedied within thirty (30) days (or thirty (30) days in the case of nonpayment) after Customer receives notice of the breach. Sections 4, 5 (only the last two paragraphs ), 6, 7, and 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

4. Fees and Payment. Customer shall pay CEO the Annual Maintenance Fee for the initial term, and each renewal term, of the Software Maintenance Agreement. Annual Maintenance Fees will be billed on an annual basis automatically to the Customer credit card originally used. CEO reserves the right to change the Maintenance Fee from time to time upon 60 days written notice, which change
shall become effective upon the next Renewal Term. An email will be sent to Customer prior to expiration date which will allow Customer to “Opt-out” of annual renewal. If Customer elects to obtain Support Services, Support Services must be purchased to cover all copies of the applicable SOFTWARE. If Customer fails to purchase/renew maintenance for the Software, or if such maintenance is terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Customer may continue to use such Software pursuant to the License Agreement but will not be entitled to receive maintenance services for such Software. To reinstate such services,
Customer must pay all maintenance fees on a cumulative basis for periods during which Customer did not purchase coverage. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Support Services other than U.S. taxes based on CEO' net income. If Customer elects to “Opt-out” of the renewal of services, Support Services will be Terminated.

5. Error Correction . CEO will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to correct any Error reported by Customer in the then-current, unmodified release of SOFTWARE in accordance with the priority level reasonably assigned to such Error by CEO.

(a) Priority A Errors. CEO shall promptly commence the following procedures:
(i) assign CEO engineers to correct the Error;
(ii) notify CEO management that such Errors have been reported and of steps
being taken to correct such Error(s);
(iii) provide Customer with periodic reports on the status of the corrections; and
(iv) initiate work to provide Customer with a Workaround or Fix.
(b) Priority B Errors. CEO shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to include
the Fix for the Error in the next regular SOFTWARE maintenance release.
(c) Priority C Errors. CEO may include the Fix for the Error in a subsequent major
release of the SOFTWARE.

If CEO believes that a problem reported by Customer may not be due to an Error in the SOFTWARE, CEO will so notify Customer. At that time, Customer may (1) instruct CEO to proceed with problem determination at its possible expense as set forth below, or (2) instruct CEO that Customer does not wish the problem pursued at its possible expense. If Customer requests that CEO proceed with problem determination at its possible expense and the error was not due to an Error in the SOFTWARE, Customer shall pay CEO, at CEO’ then-current and standard consulting rates, for all work performed in connection with such determination, plus reasonable related expenses incurred therewith. If Customer instructs CEO that it does not wish the problem pursued at its possible expense or if such determination requires effort by CEO in excess of Customer’s instructions, CEO may, at its sole discretion, elect not to investigate the problem with no liability therefore. Customer shall not be liable for (i) problem determination or repair to the extent problems are due to Errors in the SOFTWARE, (ii) work performed under this paragraph in excess of its instructions or (iii) work performed after Customer has notified CEO that it no longer wishes work on the problem determination to be continued at its possible expense (such notice shall be deemed given when actually received by CEO).

CEO’ LIABILITY SHALL BE FURTHER LIMITED AS PROVIDED IN THE LICENSE AGREEMENT. CEO AND ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR DATA USE INCURRED BY CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT, EVEN IF CEO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CEO AND ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS’ LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES HEREUNDER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CLIENT FOR THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
