MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (MSA)

This MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date of acceptance by the entity agreeing to be bound by this Agreement (the “Operator”) as set forth in the “Registration Form” (as defined in section 3 below) and constitutes a binding agreement between the Operator and Summon Inc., a Georgia incorporated company. Each of Summon and Operator are referred to as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties.” By clicking “I Agree” you represent and warrant that you are authorized to sign for and bind the Operator and that on behalf of the Operator, you acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement between the Operator and Summon.

WITNESETH:
WHEREAS, Summon is in the business of providing a software as a service, SaaS, to facilitate and enhance the provision of parking services by operators (“Parking Services”);

WHEREAS, Operator is engaged in the offer of Parking Services (the “Operator Business”) for the vehicles (“Vehicles”) of individual customers (“Customers”) at locations pursuant to separate agreements with the location owner (the “Location Owner”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Summon shall provide certain identified applications, services and support to Operator in connection with the Operator Business during the “Term” (as hereinafter defined) for which Summon shall be paid the “Subscription Fees” (as hereinafter defined).

NOW, THEREFORE, incorporating the foregoing introductory language and recitals by reference and for and in consideration of the promises and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree, the Parties agree as follows:

1. General. Summon owns and grants “Licenses” (as defined below) for a Summon application (the “Application”) which can be used on any mobile device using applications obtained through Apple Store© or Google Play© stores (“Supported Devices”). The Application is downloaded to Supported Devices for use by registered Operator personnel (“Authorized Personnel”) for use at Operator-operated locations (“Operator Locations”) to facilitate registration, tracking and payment for vehicles at an Operator Location. As used herein, “License(s)” means one or more limited, non- exclusive, terminable, non-transferable licenses (without the right to sublicense), for use of the Application pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the End User License Agreement (“EULA”) for the Application located at https:// www.Summon.com/eula-apple/ for Apple devices and https://www.Summon.com/eula-google/ for Google devices. The Licenses, together with the other support services described in this Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Services”.

2. Term and Termination. The initial term of this Agreement and any Licenses granted hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Initial Term”). Unless terminated as set forth below, the Initial Term shall be automatically extended for additional one (1) year periods (the “Extended Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”). This Agreement may be terminated as follows: (a) by either Party after the Initial Term, for convenience, by written notice received by the other Party no later than (30) days following the Effective Date, with such termination being effective on the date of receipt of such notice by the other Party; (b) by either Party at the end of the then current Term by written notice to the non-terminating Party received by no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then current Term; (c) in the event of a material default by a Party which has not been cured (i) within five (5) business days after notice of default by the non-defaulting party, as to a monetary default or (ii) within ten (10) days after written notice to the non-defaulting Party as to a material non-monetary default; and (d) otherwise as set forth in this Agreement. Upon the termination of the Agreement, all Licenses granted under this Agreement shall be terminated and Operator may no longer use the Application at any of the Operator Locations. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Summon shall immediately terminate Operator’s access to the Application and Operator shall destroy and/or return at Summon’s request, any and all Confidential Information it has received from Summon. If this Agreement is terminated during the Initial Term, Operator shall be responsible for paying Summon a termination fee equal to the average monthly base price paid by Operator to Summon from the Effective Date through the date of termination multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Initial Term.

3. Licenses and Services. (a) Operator shall register at the Summon website (the “Operator Site”) located at https://www.summon.tech/, by submitting or providing adequate information for Summon to prepare on behalf of the Customer, a completed registration form (a “Registration Form”) with the required information, including information identifying the Authorized Personnel who will download and use the Application at Operator Locations and at all times in compliance with the EULA. Registration as described above shall constitute the grant of the License to Operator by Summon, in accordance with this Agreement; (b) the Services shall include the provision of a password secured Operator Site which will contain and maintain current information concerning the volume of “Received Vehicles” (as defined below) during the relevant month during the Term, together with other information reflecting Operator use of the Application for the Operator Services.

4. Fees and Payment. (a) Operator shall be charged subscription fees based on the number of Vehicles checked-in (“Checked-in Vehicles”) at Operator Locations under this Agreement at such rates and payment terms as agreed to by Summon and Operator in a separate writing ( the “Fee Schedule”) which may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement of the Parties (the “Subscription Fee”). (b) In addition, Operator shall enter into a separate agreement (the “Merchant Agreement”) between Operator and Summon’s designated gateway merchant account provider, as communicated to Operator by Summon from time to time, to facilitate the payment by Customers of any fees charged for the Valet Services by Operator. Summon has no responsibility for any terms and conditions set forth in the Merchant Agreement including any fees charged to Operator thereunder or any customer personal information or credit card information collected by the gateway merchant account provider. Operator acknowledges and agrees that Summon does not retain any of that information. (c) The Subscription Fee will be based on the rates set forth in the Fee Schedule and the number of Checked-in Vehicles for the previous month during the Term and will be deducted on the “Payment Date” (as defined in the Fee Schedule) from the payment account established by Operator and identified in the Fee Schedule (the “Operator Account”). Operator hereby grants Summon the right to withdraw the Subscription Fees from the Operator Account. Operator shall provide and maintain withdrawal rights to the Operator Account in favor of Summon for withdrawal by Summon of the Subscription Fees, as applicable, and as described in this Agreement and the Fee Schedule. (d) Operator covenants and agrees to maintain an adequate balance in the Operator Account to pay all Subscription Fees. (e) If Summon is unable to withdraw the relevant monthly Subscription Fees from the Operator Account when due and payable whether due to insufficient funds or otherwise, Summon may, without liability to Operator, disable the passwords and accounts of Operator and Authorized Personnel and their access to all or part of the Applications, and Summon shall be under no obligation to provide any or all of use of the Applications to Operator or Authorized Personnel while Subscription Fees remain unpaid and may terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 2 hereof. (f) The Subscription Fees shall bear interest until paid at the lesser of (i) the maximum applicable legal rate on overdue commercial accounts on a per annum basis or (ii) eighteen percent (18%), the payment of which interest shall not foreclose Summon from exercising any other right or remedy that might be available. (g) If Summon engages the services of any legal representation or debt collection agency in respect of any overdue Subscription Fees, Summon shall be entitled to recover the costs of such services and any other relevant expenses incurred recovering unpaid amounts from Operator.

5. Proprietary Rights. Operator acknowledges and agrees that Summon owns all intellectual property rights in the Application. Operator agrees that all work product developed by Summon including any modifications or updates of the Application, even if at the request of Operator, shall remain the property of Summon and shall not constitute “work for hire” under the United States Copyrights Laws. Except for the limited rights included in the License, this Agreement does not grant Operator or any Authorized Personnel any rights to or in patents, copyrights, database rights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks (registered or unregistered), or any other intellectual property rights or licenses or work product of Summon.

Operator shall be solely responsible to provide Summon with its most recent and applicable Operator Terms. Summon shall not be responsible for any Operator terms and conditions contained in the Operator Terms.

Operator shall (a) not permit any of its employees, agents or subcontractors to use the Application unless such individual is included on a current listing of Authorized Personnel; (b) comply with all applicable laws, regulations and licensing and permit requirements with respect to its activities under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the timely payment of all federal, state and local taxes, and regulatory fees to the appropriate authorities associated with the operation of the Parking Services at Operator Locations; (c) ensure that Authorized Personnel use the Application in full compliance with this Agreement and the EULA; (d) use all reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Application, and, in the event of any such unauthorized access or use, promptly provide written notice to Summon; and (e) not attempt to copy, modify, duplicate, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, republish, download, display, transmit, or distribute all or any portion of the Application or any of the intellectual property associated therewith, in any form or media or by any means; or attempt to reverse compile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise reduce to human perceivable form all or any part of the Application or such intellectual property;
