Agreement (the “Agreement”).

1. DEFINITIONS

1. “Maintenance and Support” means commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Licensee in respect of the Software under these Support Terms.
2. “Version Release” means with respect to the Software, or any part thereof, a new version that includes new functions to, or improves the performance of the Software, generally made available by the Vendor to its customers under its maintenance and support services.

3. “Documentation” means any printed, electronic and online documentation that may accompany the Software.

2. COMPENSATION

1. Initial Term. The Licensee shall pay to the Vendor a fee (the “Fee”) for Maintenance and Support, the terms and conditions of which shall be pursuant to the then-current Software Support & Maintenance Terms and Conditions. The Fee and the duration (the “Initial Term”) of initial Maintenance and Support shall be identified in a purchase order, accepted and acknowledged by both parties, that expressly references the Software for which such Maintenance and Support is to be provided (each, a “PO”). The PO for the Initial Term shall be deemed accepted and acknowledged by the Licensee upon receipt by the Vendor of the Fee for the Initial Term.
2. Add-On Term. Provided that the Licensee is in compliance with the terms of the Agreement and these Support Terms, prior to expiration of the Initial Term or any subsequent Add-On Term (as hereinafter defined), the Vendor may submit to the Licensee a PO for further Maintenance and Support for such Fee and duration as identified in the PO (the “Add-On Term”), the terms and conditions of which shall be pursuant to the then-current Software Support & Maintenance Terms and Conditions. The PO for the Add-On Term shall be deemed accepted and acknowledged by the Licensee upon receipt by the Vendor of the Fee for the Add-On Term.
3. Reinstatement. If the Licensee elects to not purchase Maintenance and Support upon delivery of the Software or after the Initial Term or any Add-On Term and at a later point wishes to reinstate Maintenance and Support, and provided that the Software is then supported by the Vendor, the Licensee shall pay retroactively all Fees accrued during the period starting from delivery of the Software, the end of the Initial Term, or the end of the most recent Add-On Term, whichever occurs later, through the date of such request. In addition, the Licensee shall pay a reinstatement fee (the “Reinstatement Fee”) of twenty-five percent (25%) of the accrued Fees due as set forth above.
4. Payment. The Fee(s) and any Reinstatement Fee shall be paid within thirty (30) days of, as applicable, the submission of the PO by the Vendor to the Licensee or the beginning of an Add-On Term; provided that, in no event shall the Fee for the Initial Term be paid later than delivery of the Software. All Fees and Reinstatement Fees are non-refundable and shall be in consideration for the Maintenance and Support set forth in the applicable PO.

All amounts payable for Maintenance and Support are exclusive of sales, use, VAT, customs duties, excise, and any other applicable transaction taxes, which the Licensee will pay (excluding taxes based upon the net income of the Vendor) (collectively, the “Taxes”). For services performed by the Vendor in the states where the Vendor has obtained authorization to collect the Taxes, the Vendor will make commercially reasonable efforts to collect from the Licensee and make payment of all applicable Taxes. For services performed in any state, territory or country where the Vendor has not obtained authorization to collect the Taxes, it shall be the responsibility of the Licensee to make payment of all applicable Taxes.
