version of the Services. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Qwake may
notify the Agency during the Subscription Term that the non-beta version of the Services
(the "Production Services") is available. The Agency may elect to enter into a new
Quote to purchase, and a new definitive agreement to govern, such Production Services
moving forward (with such new definitive agreement to supersede this Agreement and
terminate the Subscription Term). The Parties agree that: (i) Qwake shall not provide
such Production Services unless and until a new Quote and definitive agreement are
mutually agreed to and executed by Qwake and the Agency; and (ii) such Quote and
definitive agreement will honor the pricing of Qwake Software Services for the duration of
the original Subscription Term, and (iii) such definitive agreement shall include an option
for a one-time upgrade of Agency's beta version Qwake Devices covered by
QwakeConnect to production versions, if available. Total value (MSRP)of upgrades shall
not exceed the total Hardware Charges (described in the Quote) made under this
Agreement. Upgrades may take the form of device replacements, partial replacements,
repairs, or refurbishments, in Qwake's sole discretion.
4. Taxes - The Agency is responsible for sales and other taxes associated with the order
unless Agency provides Qwake with a valid tax exemption certificate.
5. Shipping - Qwake may make partial shipments and ship Qwake Devices from multiple
locations. All shipments are EXW (Incoterms 2020) via a common carrier. Title and risk of

responsible for paying any shipping charges specified in the Quote.
6. Pioneer Program Specific Terms- This Section 6 applies specifically to Agency as a participant in
Qwake's Pioneer paid beta program under this Agreement.
6.1. Hardware Pricing Assurance During Subscription Term - During the
Subscription Term of this Agreement, Qwake agrees to offer any additional
Qwake Devices purchased by Agency via subsequent Quotes at the same unit
price for such devices as specified in the initial Quote referencing this
Agreement, provided such additional devices are the same model and
configuration as those purchased in the initial Quote and are subject to
availability.
6.2. Software Charges Protection During Extended Beta - The initial paid Subscription
Term for Qwake Software Services (including C-THRU Operations Center and
QwakeConnect), as specified in the initial Quote, is for one (1) year commencing on the

(12) months after the Effective Date of this Agreement, the start date for subsequent paid

Subscription Term(s) for Qwake Software Services under this Agreement shall be
delayed month-for-month for each full month that the general availability of Production
Services is delayed beyond such twelve (12) month anniversary. This delay mechanism
shall cease immediately upon Agency entering into a new definitive agreement for
Production Services or upon Qwake making the Production Services generally available,
whichever occurs first. This provision applies only to recurring Software Services fees
and not to any Hardware Charges or other fees.
6.3. Post-Beta Subsequent Purchase Pricing Assurance- If Agency remains a continuous
customer of Qwake Software Services without a material lapse in service coverage
immediately following the end of the original Subscription Term under this Agreement by
entering into a new definitive agreement for Production Services as contemplated in
Section 3.3 (Post-Beta Terms), then for a period of three (3)years following the effective
date of such new definitive agreement, for each subsequent quote which incorporates
such definitive agreement and is issued by Qwake to Agency for additional Qwake
Devices or line items, Qwake shall ensure that the unit price quoted for each specific
Qwake Device or Production Service line item is no higher than the lowest unit price at
which Qwake has sold the identical Qwake Device or Production Service line item to any
other United States government agency customer in a transaction with a comparable
volume (defined as within twenty percent (20%) of the quantity for that specific line item
in the subsequent quote) within the preceding twelve (12) months. This assurance
applies only to subsequent purchases and not to the pricing in the initial Quote under this
Agreement, unless otherwise specified therein.
7. Returns - All sales are final. Qwake does not allow refunds or exchanges, except for
warranty returns as set forth herein or as required by state or federal law.
8. QwakeConnect and Qwake Device Warranty
8.1. QwakeConnect - The C-THRU device, which is a Qwake Device, delivers
mission-critical situational awareness to frontline teams. To ensure uninterrupted
connectivity, ongoing software evolution, and predictable support costs, each
C-THRU device requires Agency to subscribe to QwakeConnect, an all-in-one,
and mandatory annual subscription that is a component of the Qwake Software
Services hereunder and that provides first-responder-grade data, continuous
firmware updates, and streamlined return merchandise authorization (RMA)
support, and that is further described in Exhibit A. Agency agrees to comply with
its obligations set forth in Exhibit A.
