Software from the Dynamics Price List without removing the Licensed Software

avoidance of doubt, Customers may acquire Licensed Software or Services from other
parties, including directly from Microsoft or a Microsoft Affiliate, at any time without notice
to Company.

consultants pass the required exams for the applicable Licensed Software product. Certified
individuals (identified by Microsoft Certified Partner Identification (MCP ID) numbers) must
be registered with only a single SPA Partner. For example, two SPA Partners cannot share

employee at Company must pass the exam and assessment requirements within 90 days of
the qualified employees departure.

behalf of a Customer, that Company Party must present the terms of the then-current SLT
to Customer prior to completing the upgrade or installation. Microsoft will give Company
notice via PartnerSource of any substantive changes to the SLT or Services terms.

about the SPA. Company confirms that it has access to the Internet.
(b) Access to PartnerSource. Microsoft reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to restrict
access to PartnerSource in whole or in part. In the event of such a restriction, Microsoft will
make reasonable commercial efforts to give the equivalent essential functionality. If access
were restricted, any notices given by Microsoft under this SPA via PartnerSource will be
provided through email or mail.
SECTION 8 Intellectual property
(a) Use of MSCORP trademarks. The SPA does not grant Company Parties any right, title,
interest, or license in or to any MSCORP names, word marks, logos, logotypes, trade dress,
designs, or other trademarks. Company Parties agree not to register, adopt or use any
name, trademark, domain name or other designation that includes any part of any MSCORP
trademark or product/service name, or any term that is confusingly similar to any MSCORP
trademark or product/service name. This includes a translation or transliteration of a
MSCORP trademark. This applies in particular to any unlicensed use of Microsoft, Microsoft
Dynamics, or Dynamics in a domain name used to host commercial content related to
Microsoft products and/or services. However, Company Parties may use MSCORPS
corporate name, technology names and trademarks in a nominative (referential) fair use
manner in plain text (but not logos, trade dress, designs or word marks in stylized form) to
accurately identify and refer to MSCORP and its technology and services. Company Parties
nominative fair use of a MSCORP trademark must not cause confusion about the source of
its solutions or its relationship with MSCORP or its Affiliates and MSCORP reserves the right
to make that determination in its sole discretion. Otherwise, Company Parties use of
MSCORP trademarks must be according to MSCORPs usage guidelines available at
http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/IntellectualProperty/Trademarks/Usage/General.
aspxhttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/trademarks/en-us.aspx or
any alternative site Microsoft may designate in its place.
(b) Proprietary notices. Company Parties must not remove any copyright, trademark or
patent notices contained in or on any of the Licensed Software, Documentation or in any
documentation for Services. Company Parties must include MSCORPs copyright notice on
all copies of the Licensed Software, packaging, Documentation or Services. Company
Parties must use the correct descriptor and symbol (either or ) to clearly indicate
MSCORPs (or its suppliers) ownership of trademarks whenever the Licensed Software is
first mentioned in any ad, brochure or other manner.
(c) Use of Company marks. Company grants Microsoft the right to publish Companys
names, trade names, trademarks, and logos with regard to Companys participation as a
provider of Licensed Software and Services as outlined on the SPA Website, for purposes
reasonably related to the SPA. Microsoft will not modify Companys names, trade names,
trademarks and logos. On Microsofts request, Company will provide Microsoft artwork for
Companys logos in printed or electronic form or both. The SPA does not grant Microsoft any
other right, title, interest or license to any of Companys names, word marks, logos,
logotypes, trade dress, designs, or other trademarks.

(07.20142016)
(d) Unsolicited commercial email. Company may not use MSCORPs marks in connection
with transmitting or distributing unsolicited commercial email or in any way that would
violate local law, custom or Microsofts policies.
(e) License compliance
(1) Company Parties must not engage or participate with any third party in the
unauthorized manufacture, duplication, delivery, transfer or use of counterfeit,
pirated, illegal or unlicensed software. Company Parties must not infringe any of
MSCORPs intellectual property rights. Company must reasonably cooperate with
Microsoft and its Affiliates in investigating counterfeit, pirated or illegal software.
Company must report to Microsoft any suspected counterfeiting, piracy or other
infringement of Microsoft or its suppliers intellectual property as soon as possible
after Company becomes aware of it.
(2) Company shall ensure that Company Parties Customers acquire enough licenses for
software, client access, terminal service, web services, and/or service plans to
match:
(i) The quantities of Licensed Software licenses acquired by the Customer; and
(ii) The maximum number of users and/or devices that may access or use the Licensed
Software under the Customers invoice from a Company Party.
Upon request, Company will promptly give Microsoft information to verify that the
Customer has enough licenses for the Licensed Software. Company must report to
Microsoft any suspected breach of this section as soon as possible after Company
becomes aware of it.
(3) Failure to comply with this section 8(e) will be a material breach of this SPA. In the
event of such a breach, Microsoft may terminate this SPA immediately upon Written
Notice to Company without opportunity to cure.
(f) No technology transfer arrangement. The SPA does not create a technology transfer
agreement, as defined by applicable law because:
(1) The technology (including any Licensed Software) made available under the SPA is
not an integrated part of a technology chain for production or management
purposes; and
(2) The technology (including any Licensed Software) has its own technology license.
Company will not hold itself out as Microsofts technology recipient and will not
identify Microsoft as a technology provider under the SPA.
SECTION 9 Financial Terms
(a) Minimum Revenue Requirement. In order to remain an active SPA Partner, Company
must generate at least a certain pre-set amount of revenue (Threshold) as of two certain
set time periods (Checkpoints).
(1) The first Checkpoint will be measured on the 12-month anniversary of the SPA
Effective Date. The Threshold for the first Checkpoint is $35,000 USD (or equivalent
amount in local currency) in Checkpoint Revenue from the Effective Date to the first
Checkpoint. If Company has not reached the Threshold as of the first Checkpoint,
Microsoft will not extend Companys SPA term, and Company is not permitted to re-
enroll in the SPA program for a period of 12 months starting from the first
Checkpoint date.
(2) The second Checkpoint will be measured at the date that Company signs a new SPA.
The Threshold for the second Checkpoint is $35,000 USD (or equivalent amount in
local currency) in Checkpoint Revenue for the 12 months preceding the second
Checkpoint. If Company does not meet the Threshold at the second Checkpoint,
(07.20142016)
Company will not be permitted to re-enroll in the SPA program for a period of 12
months starting July 31, 20162018.
(3) If Company is enrolling in the SPA for the first time, Company will be exempt from
the second Checkpoint if Company signed this SPA on or after August 2, 20152017.
(Existing SPA Partners will not be offered this exemption.)
(4) Company is in material breach of this section 9(a) if:
(i) Company has re-enrolled in the SPA program by entering into this SPA, but has done
so within 12 months after the Expiration Date of a previous Solution Provider
Agreement that was not extended pursuant to provisions that correspond to
sections 9(a)(1) or (2); or
(ii) Company uses any method to circumvent the re-enrollment restrictions in this
section 9, such as by entering into this SPA as a proxy for another entity or under a
different name, within 12 months after the Expiration Date of that entitys previous
Solution Provider Agreement that was not extended pursuant to provisions that
correspond to sections 9(a)(1) or (2).
(b) Price lists.
(1) Subject to section 3(b), Microsoft will use PartnerSource to publish Dynamics Price
Lists for the Licensed Software and Services. Updates to the Dynamics Price List, if
any, typically occur on the first business day of every month. The Dynamics Price
List includes estimated retail prices for Licensed Software and Services. Prices are
based on the Customer's location. Microsoft may reflect pricing in U.S. dollars or
other local currency, where offered, based on Customer location. For Customers
located in the EU/EFTA region, prices are listed in Euros and, where applicable, other
local currencies depending on the selling Company Partys location.
(2) Company Parties have complete discretion to set their own Customer prices for
Licensed Software, Services and Authorized Works and to negotiate and set payment
terms and conditions with Customers. The negotiation of those terms between
Company Parties and Customers will not be subject to Microsofts review or approval
in any way. With the exception of Section 16(g), Company Parties are not asked to
provide Microsoft any Customer-facing invoice or otherwise disclose the price a
Company Party charged its Customer for any Licensed Software, Services or
Authorized Works.
(3) Microsoft will charge Company the amount on the Dynamics Price List, less any SPA
discounts that Company may be entitled to.
(c) Payment terms.
(1) Payment is due on the date specified in Microsofts invoice;
(2) If Company fails to make payment of any sums by the due date Microsoft may take
any or all of the following actions:
(i) If Companys payment is not received within 30 days of due date, Microsoft may
terminate the SPA on 30 days Written Notice to Company. If Company has two or
more late payments during the term, Microsoft may terminate the SPA immediately
on Written Notice to Company and without an opportunity to cure;
(ii) Hold all pending orders and suspend further shipments under the SPA until all SPA
payments due are received;
(iii) Contact Customers to inform them that Company is temporarily unable to place
orders on their behalf, and provide Customers the ability to place orders for

(07.20142016)
Licensed Software and Services directly with Microsoft until all payments that are
due under the SPA are received by Microsoft;
(iv) Charge interest on the past due amount from the first day the amount is past
due until the amount is paid in full. Interest will be charged on a day-to-day basis at
the rate of 1% per month (12% per annum) on a simple interest basis, or the legal
maximum, whichever is less. Company will pay interest on demand to Microsoft.
If Microsoft chooses to take any or all of these actions it does not waive any other right or
remedy available to us under this SPA or at law. Microsoft may change these payment terms
on 30 days prior Written Notice to Company.
(d) Invoicing
(1) Company must make all payments by wire transfer to the account identified on the
invoices or in the SPA Guidelines. Company must pay any remittance costs, which
must not be deducted from the amount due. Company must include Microsofts
invoice number (if applicable) on each wire transfer payment.
(2) Company must place orders with Microsoft for the applicable Licensed Software and
Services no later than (a) Customers first Use of those products or Services or (b)
within 30 days of a Company Partys receipt of payment from Customer for licenses
or services, whichever occurs first. Failure to comply with this sub-section will be
deemed a material breach of the SPA. In the event of such a breach, Microsoft may
terminate this SPA immediately on Written Notice without opportunity to cure.
(3) Company may not withhold payment or make deductions on the amount due on any
invoice (by way of offset, counterclaim or otherwise) unless Microsoft issues a credit
note. This includes rebates, price adjustments, billing errors, handling fees,
allowances or any other charges. The only exception is for disputed items as
described in section 9(d)(4) of this SPA.
(4) If Company disputes any amount invoiced by Microsoft or has a complaint about the
Licensed Software (other than a warranty claim) then Company must:
(i) Pay the non-disputed amount on the invoice; and
(ii) Give details, via Written Notice, of the disputed item or complaint (together with
supporting documentation and information) within 21 days of the date of Microsofts
invoice.
(5) Companys payment to Microsoft is not contingent on Companys receipt of any
payments from its Recorded Affiliates or Customers. If Company purchases a multi-
year, annual installment SKU on behalf of a Customer, Company is responsible for
payment each year, whether Company collects payment from the Customer or not.
(6) Company must make all payments in full and in the currency specified in Microsofts
invoice (subject to applicable law).
(e) Taxation. The amounts to be paid to Microsoft under the SPA do not include any
governmental taxes relating to the transactions made under the SPA. Company must pay to
Microsoft any taxes that are owed by the Company solely due to entering into the SPA and
which are permitted to be collected from Company by Microsoft under applicable law.
Company may give Microsoft a valid exemption certificate in which case Microsoft will not
collect the taxes covered by such certificate. Microsoft is not liable for any taxes that
Company is legally obligated to pay related to the sale of Licensed Software and Services
under the SPA, or Companys provision of any other services or goods to any Customer.
Company will indemnify, defend and hold Microsoft harmless from any taxes, claims, or
costs (including reasonable attorneys fees) and any other liabilities of any nature related to
such taxes.

(07.20142016)
If local laws, regulations or a foreign tax authority requires any taxes be withheld on
payments made by Company to Microsoft, Company may deduct such taxes from the
amount owed to Microsoft and pay them to the taxing authority. However, Company will
promptly secure and deliver to Microsoft an official receipt for any such taxes withheld or
other documents necessary to enable Microsoft to claim a tax credit (including a U.S.
foreign tax credit). The withholding taxes referred to in this section apply to withholding
taxes required by the taxing authorities on payments to Microsoft only. They do not include
any withholding taxes incurred by Company for payments made to Company by Customers.
Such withholding taxes are Companys financial responsibility. Company will make certain
that any taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law.
(f) Financial statements. Microsoft may require audited financial statements (or equivalent
information that may be acceptable to Microsoft) from time to time in connection with
Companys obtaining or maintaining credit terms. Microsofts uses these financial
statements for the sole purpose of setting and reviewing Companys credit and will treat
unpublished financial statements as Confidential Information under section 11
(Confidentiality). If requested, Company should forward financial statements to the
attention of Microsofts credit department at the address given in the Global Partner
Operational Handbook.
(g) Credit and security
(1) Microsoft may extend credit to Company after review of Companys financial
condition and overall credit worthiness. Microsoft may revise or withdraw any credit
extended to Company at any time on Written Notice. If Microsoft withdraws or
reduces any credit, Company must immediately pay all sums due or that become
due in excess of the revised credit limit. Microsoft may also require Company to pay
all sums due in advance or on delivery of Companys next order. A credit application
may be required in some Geographic Regions.
(2) Microsoft may require Company to promptly give a performance bond, bank
guarantee, letter of credit, corporate guarantee cash deposit, or other form of
security. Microsoft may require such forms of security at any time during the term of
this SPA in an amount, form, and with an entity acceptable to Microsoft.
(h) Returns. Unless required by local law, Microsoft does not accept returns of Licensed
Software or Services purchases.
SECTION 10 Term and termination
(a) Term. The SPA will take effect on the Effective Date on the first page, and continue until
Expiration Date unless terminated earlier, after which date all rights under the SPA and any

(d) SPA Partner Escalation Reviews. If any of the following occur, Microsoft may contact
Company for an Escalation Review, where Company will be required to create a corrective
action plan that must be approved by Microsoft. The parties will meet to discuss and agree
on the terms of Companys corrective action plan. Microsoft reserves the right to suspend
Companys ability to place orders during this review process until the corrective action plan
is implemented. Company will not accept any further orders from Customers during this time
without Microsofts prior written approval.

where the Customer selects the following reasons:
(i) Customer Satisfaction Issue Overall Poor Partner Performance or
(ii) Customer Satisfaction Issue Slow Response
If Company (1) fails to create or participate in the corrective action plan discussion, (2) does
not use commercially reasonable efforts to agree with Microsoft on reasonable terms for the
corrective action plan, or (3) does not agree to the timeline in the corrective action plan,
Microsoft may terminate the SPA on 30 days Written Notice. If Company fails to resolve the
issues identified in the corrective action plan according to the schedule in that plan,
Microsoft reserves the right to terminate this SPA immediately on 5 days Written Notice.
(e) Other Duties and Effects of Termination
(1) When the SPA is no longer in effect, Company must:
(i) Immediately stop exercising all rights granted by the SPA; (including no longer
accepting orders for Licensed Software and Services, and remove marketing

SECTION 11 Confidentiality
The following terms and conditions apply to exchanges of information that take place under
the SPA:
(a) Company Parties and Microsoft must refrain from disclosing any Confidential Information of
the other for five years following the date of disclosure, except that if the Confidential
Information contains personally identifiable information, there is no time limit regarding
non-disclosure.
(b) However, Confidential Information may be disclosed as required by a judicial or other
governmental order, if the receiving party either:

business relationship described in the SPA.
(d) Neither party is required to restrict work assignments of agents, representatives and

incoming information the other will disclose in the course of working together, or what its
representatives will remember, even without notes or other aids. The parties agree that use
of information in representatives unaided memories in the development or deployment of
their respective products or services does not create liability under this SPA or trade secret
law.
(e) Microsoft may use any technical information it derives from providing Services related to its
technology for problem resolution, troubleshooting, functionality enhancements and fixes, or
for its knowledge base. Microsoft agrees not to identify Company or disclose any of
Companys Confidential Information in any entry in the knowledge base. Microsoft agrees

access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Such measures will include access controls,
encryption and any other means that are required to comply with applicable laws.
(g) Any breach by either party of this section 11 will be deemed a material, incurable breach of
the SPA.
SECTION 12 Representation and warranty
(a) No representations. Microsoft makes no representation about any Licensed Software or
Services other than as stated in the SPA. Company has relied on its own skill and judgment
or that of its advisers in deciding to enter into the SPA.
(b) Microsofts warranty
(1) Notice regarding Licensed Software. The Licensed Software is complex
computer software. Its performance will vary depending on hardware platform,
software interactions, and Licensed Software configuration. The Licensed Software is
neither fault tolerant nor free from errors, conflicts or interruptions. Software bugs
may be identified on creating an Authorized Work or on installation of Licensed
Software. Company Parties must determine for themselves that the Licensed
Software, Services, MS Materials, and Authorized Works are suitable in quality and
performance for use on the computer systems on which they may be installed. This
includes conducting sufficient testing of all Authorized Works and computer systems
on which they may be installed. Such testing should include failure mode and effects
analysis on such computer systems. Company Parties are also responsible for
providing any necessary notices or warnings to Customers.
(2) No warranty.
(i) Unless otherwise expressly stated in this SPA, the SLT, or if required by law,
Microsoft disclaims and excludes all warranties, conditions and representations
(express, implied, by statute, or otherwise) in relation to the Licensed Software,
Services, MS Materials, and any Authorized Works. This disclaimer includes
warranties and conditions of title, merchantability, satisfactory quality, and non-

(07.20142016)
infringement, fitness for a particular purpose or any implied warranty arising from
course of dealing or usage of trade.
(ii) Microsoft makes no warranty that the Licensed Software will operate properly in
connection with any Authorized Work or on any Customer systems.
(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Microsoft makes no representation
or warranty that the Licensed Software or MS Materials are suitable or sufficient for
the creation of any Authorized Work, that any Licensed Software or MS Materials
comply with applicable Regulatory Requirements or any other requirement of any
Government Authority in any Geographic Region, or that any Authorized Work will
operate properly in connection with any Licensed Software, any Customer's system,
or any update to the Licensed Software (as defined in Schedule B).
(iv) This disclaimer will not be interpreted or construed to limit or revoke any
representation or warranty made under any other agreement between Company
Parties and Microsoft or any applicable SLT for the Licensed Software.
(c) Companys covenant
No representations. Company Parties must not make any representation or
warranty with respect to this SPA, Companys relationship with Microsoft, or any
Licensed Software, MS Materials, Authorized Works, Services or their use to any
Customer on Microsofts behalf.
SECTION 13 Intellectual Property Defense
(a) Microsofts defense obligation
(1) Defense of infringement claims. Microsoft will defend Company Parties against
any claims made by an unaffiliated third party that the Licensed Software or
Services infringes its patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriates its trade
secret, and pay the amount of any adverse final judgment (or settlement to which
Microsoft consents) from such lawsuit. Microsofts duties are subject to the following
conditions:
(i) Company must give Microsoft prompt Written Notice of the claim;
(ii) Microsoft will have sole control over defense and settlement of the claim; and
(iii) Company will give Microsoft reasonable assistance in the defense of the claim.
Microsoft will reimburse Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that
Company incurs in providing assistance in defending the claim.
(2) Limitations on Microsofts defense obligation. Microsofts duties to defend
Company Parties will not apply to the extent that the claim or adverse final
judgment is based on a Company Party or a Customer doing any of the following:
(i) Distributing or using the Licensed Software, Services, MS Materials, or Authorized
Works by a Company Party after Microsoft notifies Company to discontinue
distribution or use;
(ii) Combining the Licensed Software, Services or MS Materials with Authorized Works
or any other non-Microsoft product, program, data or business process;
(iii) Using the Licensed Software, Services or MS Materials with an Authorized Work,
non-Microsoft product, data, or business process; or
(iv) Changing the Licensed Software or Services.
Microsofts duties to defend and pay patent claims will be limited to the Licensed
Software (or Services) alone, without combination or modification, where the
(07.20142016)
Licensed Software (or Service) constitutes direct or contributory infringement of the
patent.
Company will reimburse Microsoft for any costs or damages that result from these
actions. However, Company will have no obligation to Microsoft under this sub-
section for actions of Customers acting without Companys involvement or
knowledge.
(3) Microsofts options. If Microsoft receives information about an infringement claim
related to the Licensed Software (or Services), it may (but is not obligated to) at its
expense and at its option:
(i) Procure rights or licenses to continue its distribution and use; or
(ii) Replace with a functional equivalent or modify the Licensed Software or Services to
make it non-infringing (including disabling the challenged functionality). If Microsoft
does that, Company Parties will stop distributing and using the allegedly infringing
Licensed Software and Services immediately; or
(iii) Require Company Parties and their Customers to discontinue copying, using or
providing the Licensed Software or Services affected by the claim.
(b) Companys indemnity duties. Company must defend, indemnify and hold Microsoft
harmless from any claim from a third party arising due to:
(1) Licensed Software installed by Company Parties outside generally accepted industry
standards;
(2) The customized Licensed Software or Services infringing any proprietary right of that
third party if such claim would have been avoided by the exclusive use of the
Licensed Software and/or Microsofts Services;
(3) Company Parties Customizations and implementation services;
(4) Any breach by Company Parties of the terms of the SPA that results in a claim;
(5) Any loss or damage suffered by Microsoft for which Company Parties have been
compensated by a Customer under section 6(c)(6) where governing law prevents
Microsoft from being a valid third party beneficiary; and
(6) Any of the additional issues related to Authorized Works listed in Schedule B, section
7 (Additional Company Indemnity Obligations).
SECTION 14 Limitation of liability
(a) Limitation
(1) Microsoft Liability. Except for liabilities to and remedies of Company Parties for
Microsoft or any Microsoft Affiliates unauthorized use of a Company Partys
intellectual property, total cumulative liability (if any), of Microsoft and Microsoft
Affiliates to Company Parties in relation to this SPA, and Company Parties exclusive
remedy for any such liability, shall be limited to that Company Partys direct
damages incurred in reasonable reliance on Microsoft up to an amount not to exceed
100% of the amount actually paid by Company to Microsoft under the SPA.
(2) Company Liability. Except for liabilities to and remedies of Microsoft or any
Microsoft Affiliate for Company Parties unauthorized use of Microsoft or any
Microsoft Affiliates intellectual property (including breach of any part of section 4
(License grant)), the total cumulative liability (if any) of Company Parties to Microsoft
under this SPA and Microsofts exclusive remedy for any such liability is limited to
100% of the amount paid and any amounts owed by Company to Microsoft under
this SPA.

(07.20142016)
(3) Release. Company, on behalf of itself and Company Affiliates, releases Microsoft
and Microsoft Affiliates, and Microsoft releases Company Parties, from all liability in
excess of the liabilities that are limited by this section , including any claim for
indemnification or contribution whether arising under statutory or common law or
otherwise.
(4) Exclusion of certain damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
whatever the legal basis for the claim, neither party, nor any of its
Affiliates, contractors, or suppliers, will be liable for any indirect,
consequential, special, or incidental damages, or damages for lost profits,
revenues, business interruption, or loss of business information arising in
connection with this SPA, even if advised of the possibility of such
damages or if such possibility was reasonably foreseeable. However, this
exclusion does not apply to either partys liability to the other for violation
of its confidentiality obligations or of the other partys intellectual
property rights.
(b) Application. The limitations on and exclusions of liability for damages in the SPA apply to
the maximum extent permitted by law. They apply regardless of the legal theory on which
any claim for damages is based. They apply whether application of the exclusion causes
any remedy to fail of its essential purpose. A partys liability for loss or damage of any kind
(including loss or damage caused by negligence) is reduced to the extent that the other
party or its agents caused or contributed to that loss or damage.
(c) Business purposes. Company is entering the SPA for business purposes only. Company
agrees that consumer protection laws will not apply to the extent that contracting out of
such laws is permitted.
(d) Consumer rights. The SPA does not exclude or restrict liability to consumers if not
permitted by local law. If liability may not be excluded, then to the maximum extent
permitted by law consumers remedies are limited to the following at Microsofts option:
(1) In the case of Services, Microsoft may either supply the Services again or pay the
cost of having the Services supplied again; and
(2) in the case of Licensed Software to either:
(i) Replace the Licensed Software;
(ii) Correct the defects in the Licensed Software; or
(iii) Pay the cost of replacing or repairing the Licensed Software or acquiring software of
equivalent functionality.
SECTION 15 Technical and other support, training, and brand
Except as may be agreed to by Microsoft in writing or as given under the SLT, the SPA does not
give Company Parties or Customers technical support, training, account management, marketing
and sales support, brand or logo rights. These may be available to Company Parties through other
Microsoft or Microsoft Affiliate programs, offerings or initiatives. Microsoft does not give technical
support for Company Parties Authorized Works. Company Parties are solely responsible for
providing technical support to Customers for such Authorized Works.

(07.20142016)
SECTION 16 Miscellaneous
(a) Government Customers. Many government entities have unique issues. Microsoft may
require additional terms and conditions for that purpose. Microsoft reserves the right to
reject orders for certain government entities, as specified in the Product Schedule.
(b) Microsoft Corporation and Affiliates - third party beneficiaries. Certain sections of
the SPA are for the express benefit of MSCORP and its Affiliates. As a result, Microsoft and
its Affiliates are entitled to require Companys due performance of each such provision.
Microsoft is entering into this SPA not only in Microsofts own right, but also as agent and
trustee for each of Microsofts Affiliates. Subject to the foregoing, the SPA does not create
any enforceable rights by anyone other than the parties to the SPA.
(c) Relationship between Company Parties and Microsoft. Although Microsoft may call
Company a 'partner', Company is an independent contractor for all purposes regarding the
SPA. At no time does either party have the power to:
(1) Bind the other;
(2) Vary or offer any additional terms, conditions, representations, warranties or
covenants made by the other; or
(3) Create in favor of any person any rights that the other party has not previously
authorized in writing.
The SPA will not be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, agency, or franchise
relationship or any fiduciary duty between Microsoft and any Company Party.
(d) Notices.
(1) The parties must address any notice related to the SPA to the contacts and locations
listed on the first page of this SPA for Microsoft, and on the SPA Profile Form for
Company.
(2) An authorized representative of Company must sign all notices by Company.
(3) Company will give Microsoft prompt Written Notice if Company or any of its
Recorded Affiliates become insolvent, enter bankruptcy, reorganization, composition
or other similar proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, or admit in writing its
inability to pay debts, or make or attempt to make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors.
(4) Notices will be deemed delivered on the date shown on the postal return receipt or
on the courier, facsimile or email confirmation of delivery.
(e) Governing law. The laws of the State of Washington and the federal laws of the United
States govern this SPA. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the
courts sitting in King County, Washington. On behalf of itself and its Recorded Affiliates,
Company waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens.
This choice of jurisdiction and venue does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive
relief for a breach of intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations or enforcement
of recognition of any award or order in any appropriate jurisdiction. The SPA is not to be
governed by the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods.
(f) Attorneys and legal fees. If either party commences litigation against the other party in
connection with this SPA, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable
attorneys fees, costs and other expenses.

(07.20142016)
(1) Company Party Compliance. Company will comply with and will require its
Recorded Affiliates to comply with all applicable laws against bribery, corruption,
inaccurate books and records, inadequate internal controls, and money-laundering,
including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (Anti-Corruption Laws). Company

employees and, if not, Company agrees to participate annually in online Anti-
Corruption training made available free of charge by Microsoft and certify its

Microsoft Audit Rights. section below, apply to Companys certifications in this
section and its compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws.

gifts, hospitality, or charitable contributions for government officials on Microsofts
behalf. Company also acknowledges that it is prohibited from using any funds
provided by Microsoft, or any proceeds resulting from any Microsoft business, to pay
expenses for travel, lodging, gifts, hospitality or charitable contributions for
government officials.
(2) Microsoft Audit Rights. During the term of this SPA and for two years after the

acquisition, delivery and destruction of Licensed Software and Services, and the
creation, distribution, marketing, promotion, implementation, training, and support
of any Authorized Works. Company will establish and maintain a reasonable
accounting system that enables Microsoft and its audit-related agents to identify
Company Party assets, expenses, expenditures, costs of goods, margins, discounts,

purpose. False, misleading, incomplete, inaccurate, or artificial entries in the books
and records are prohibited.

intent to exercise its rights under this provision. The Relevant Records and, if
requested, relevant employees, will be made available to Microsoft or its audit-
related agents during normal business hours at the Company Partys office or place of
business. If no such location is available, then the Relevant Records, and if requested,
relevant employees, shall be made available at a time and location that Microsoft will
determine.
Microsoft may exercise its rights under this provision any time it has a good faith
reason to believe that Company or its representatives are in violation of any Anti-

(07.20142016)
Corruption Laws in connection with this SPA or in any manner that may impact
Microsoft or its relationship with Company.
The audit team will be made up of either:
(1) Microsoft employees or contract employees;
(2) An independent law firm; or
(3) An independent accounting firm.
Company Parties will promptly correct any errors and omissions (including any
underpayments) disclosed by the audits. Certain errors, omissions, or other non-
compliant actions are non-curable (as described in this SPA and the SPA Guidelines)
and can result in the immediate termination of the SPA by Microsoft.
Audits will be conducted during Company Partys normal business hours and in a
manner that does not interfere unreasonably with its normal business activities.
Company Party will give Microsoft access to all related books, records, operations,
processes and facilities that Microsoft may need to review to complete a proper and
thorough audit. If an audit is conducted Company Party will have all related books,
records and operations available to Microsoft at the beginning of the audit. If the
audit reveals either an underpayment to Microsoft or a material breach of the SPA,
Company Party must pay Microsoft the costs of the audit, in addition to any unpaid
amounts due. Company Party will implement any reasonable recommendations on
record keeping from the audit team within a mutually agreeable timeframe. The
notification of any audit, process relating to such audit, and results of any audit under

In addition, Microsoft may further exercise its rights under this provision for any other
reason at any other time not to exceed once every 12-month period.
(h) Assignment. Company may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under the SPA,
or subcontract a significant part of its rights or obligations to a third party, whether by
contract or by operation of law, without Microsofts prior written consent. Microsoft will not
withhold its consent without a commercial purpose. Microsoft may transfer its rights and
obligations under the SPA without Companys consent, but only to one of Microsofts
Affiliates. Any prohibited assignment or transfer is void.
(i) Waiver. No waiver of any breach of the SPA shall be a waiver of any other breach, and no
waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative
of the waiving party.
(j) Severability. If a court holds any provision of the SPA to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect and the parties
will amend the SPA to give effect to the stricken section to the maximum extent possible.
(k) Entire agreement. The terms and conditions of the SPA form the entire agreement
between Microsoft and Company and their respective Affiliates about Companys provision
of the Licensed Software and Microsofts Services to Customers. It supersedes any prior or
contemporaneous communications, and any prior agreement between Microsoft and
