lease term set forth in the Schedule. We agree to lease or rent, as specified in any
equipment schedule executed by you and us and incorporating the terms of this
Lease Agreement by reference (a “Schedule”), to you, and you agree to lease or

2. Schedules; Delivery and Acceptance. This Lease Agreement shall consist of the
terms and conditions of the Contract and this Lease Agreement and any Schedule
issued pursuant thereto. As it pertains to this Lease Agreement, the order of
precedence of the component parts of the Lease Agreement shall be as follows:
(a) the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement and Schedule issued
pursuant thereto, and (b) the terms and conditions of the Contract. The foregoing
order of precedence shall govern the interpretation of this Lease Agreement in
cases of conflict or inconsistency therein. Each Schedule that incorporates this
Lease Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Lease
Agreement and the Contract, as well as by the terms and conditions set forth in
such individual Schedule. Each Schedule shall constitute a complete agreement
separate and distinct from this Lease Agreement and any other Schedule. In the

Product subject to such Schedule. The termination of this Lease Agreement will
not affect any Schedule executed prior to the effective date of such termination.
When you receive the Product and it is installed, you agree to inspect it to
determine it is in good working order. Scheduled Payments (as specified in the
applicable Schedule) will begin on or after the Product acceptance date
(“Effective Date”). You agree to sign and return to us a delivery and acceptance
certificate (which may be done electronically) within five (5) business days after
any Product is installed confirming that the Product has been delivered, installed,
and is in good condition and accepted for all purposes under the Agreement.

(a) The first scheduled Payment (as specified in the applicable Schedule)
(“Payment”) will be due on the Effective Date or such later date as we may
designate. The remaining Payments will be due on the same day of each
subsequent month, unless otherwise specified on the applicable Schedule.
To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, if any Payment or other
amount payable under any Schedule is not received within ten (10) days of
its due date, you will pay to us, in addition to that Payment, a one-time late
charge of 5% of the overdue Payment (but in no event greater than the
maximum amount allowed by applicable law). To the extent not prohibited
by applicable law, you agree to pay $25.00 for each check returned for
insufficient funds or for any other reason.
(b) In the event that Customer terminates the Maintenance Agreement (as
hereunder defined) between Customer and the Servicer relating to the
Product provided hereunder due to a material breach by Servicer of its
service obligations which remained uncured for thirty (30) days following
written notice of breach (in the manner expressly permitted by and in
accordance with such Maintenance Agreement), Customer shall have the
option of terminating the particular Product under a Schedule to this Lease
Agreement to which such service failure relates upon thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Ricoh. In the event of such termination, Customer shall pay
all fees and charges incurred through the termination date of the applicable
Product, including any late fee charges (to the extent such late fee charges
may be charged pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Lease Agreement).
(c) A Schedule may be terminated in whole or in part by the Customer in
accordance with this Section 3(c) whenever the Customer shall determine
that such a termination is in the best interest of the Customer. Any such
termination shall be effected by delivery to Ricoh, at least thirty (30)
working days prior to the effective date of such termination date, of a notice
of termination specifying the extent to which performance shall be
terminated. In the event of such termination, Customer agrees to return the
Product to us in the manner required under Section 14 of this Lease

not as a penalty), with respect to such terminated Product, financed
Software and any Software Licenses, an amount which shall be equal to the
monthly Payment for such Product, financed Software and/or Software
License, as applicable, times the number of months remaining in the term of
such Schedule (or any renewal of such Schedule) and/or any financing
agreement with respect to the financed Software and/or Software License,
plus any other amounts then due and payable under this Lease Agreement,
Schedule and/or financing agreement with respect to such Product, Software
and/or Software License, including, but not limited to, any lease payments
and maintenance payments. Ricoh shall supply the Customer with the
actual number of Payments remaining and the total amount due, and the
Customer shall be relieved of all unpaid amounts for anticipated profit on
unperformed services under any Maintenance Agreement (including any
amount included in the monthly Payment that is attributable to maintenance,
supplies, or any other service cost).
(d) You also agree that, except (a) as set forth in Section 18 below entitled
“State and Local Government Provisions”, (b) for documented cases of non-
performance as set forth in Section 3(b) and (c) for the best interest of the

the case of sole proprietorships), direct debit or wires only. You also agree
that cash and cash equivalents are not acceptable forms of payment for this

Product Location shown in the applicable Schedule. You will not move the
Product from the location specified in the applicable Schedule or make any

consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. At your own cost and
expense, you will keep the Product eligible for any Manufacturer’s certification as
to maintenance and in compliance with applicable laws and in good condition,
except for ordinary wear and tear. You shall engage Ricoh, its subsidiaries or
affiliates, or an independent third party (the “Servicer”) to provide maintenance
and support services pursuant to a separate agreement for such purpose
(“Maintenance Agreement”). You may make alterations, additions or
replacements (collectively, “Additions”) and add Software to the Product
provided that such Additions and Software do not impair the value or originally
intended function or purpose of the Product and is not subject to any lien or
security interest in favor of any other party; provided, further, that you remove
such Additions and Software at your own cost and expense at the expiration or
termination of the applicable Schedule. All Additions and Software which are not
removed at the expiration or termination of the applicable Schedule will become
part of the Product and our property at no cost or expense to us. We may inspect
the Product upon proper notice to the customer at any reasonable time during
normal working hours.
5. Taxes and Fees. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law and unless and to
the extent you are exempt and provide a valid exemption certificate to us, in
addition to the payments under this Lease Agreement, you agree to pay all taxes
(other than property taxes), assessments, fees and charges governmentally
imposed upon our purchase, ownership, possession, leasing, renting, operation,
control or use of the Product. If we are required to pay upfront sales or use tax
and you opt to pay such tax over the term of the lease and not as a lump sum at
lease inception, then you agree to pay us a Sales Tax Administrative Fee” equal
to 3.5% of the total tax due per year, to be included as part of the Payment. A
valid sales and use tax exemption certificate must be provided to us within ninety
(90) days of the first invoice to receive a credit/waiver of sales tax.
6. Warranties. We transfer to you, without recourse, for the term of each Schedule,
any written warranties made by the Manufacturer or Software Supplier (as
defined in Section 10 of this Lease Agreement) with respect to the Product leased
or rented pursuant to such Schedule. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU
HAVE SELECTED THE PRODUCT BASED ON YOUR OWN JUDGMENT
AND YOU HEREBY AFFIRMATIVELY DISCLAIM RELIANCE ON ANY
ORAL REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE PRODUCT MADE TO
YOU. However, if you enter into a Maintenance Agreement with Servicer with
respect to any Product, no provision, clause or paragraph of this Lease Agreement
shall alter, restrict, diminish or waive the rights, remedies or benefits that you
may have against Servicer under such Maintenance Agreement. WE MAKE NO
WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The only warranties, express or implied, made to you
are the warranties (if any) made by the Manufacturer and/or Servicer to you in
any documents, other than this Lease Agreement, executed by and between the
Manufacturer and/or Servicer and you. YOU AGREE THAT,
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, WE ARE NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY CLAIM AGAINST
US FOR, ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES.
7. Loss or Damage. You are responsible for any theft of, destruction of, or damage
to the Product (collectively, “Loss”) from any cause at all, whether or not insured,
from the time of Product acceptance by you until it is delivered to us at the end of
the term of the Schedule. You are required to make all Payments even if there is a
Loss. You must notify us in writing immediately of any Loss. Then, you shall be
responsible to either (a) repair the Product so that it is in good condition and
working order, eligible for any Manufacturer’s certification, (b) pay us the
amounts specified in Section 12 below, or (c) replace the Product with equipment
of like age and capacity.
8. Liability and Insurance. You agree to maintain insurance, through self-insurance
or otherwise, to cover the Product for all types of loss, including, without
limitation, theft, in an amount not less than the full replacement value and you
will name us as an additional insured and loss payee on your insurance policy. In
addition, you agree to maintain comprehensive public liability insurance, which,
upon our request, shall be in an amount acceptable to us and shall name us as an
additional insured. Such insurance will provide that we will be given thirty (30)
days advance notice of any cancellation. Upon our request, you agree to provide
us with evidence of such insurance in a form reasonably satisfactory to us. If you
fail to maintain such insurance or to provide us with evidence of such insurance,
we may (but are not obligated to) obtain insurance in such amounts and against
such risks as we deem necessary to protect our interest in the Product. Such
insurance obtained by us will not insure you against any claim, liability or loss
related to your interest in the Product and may be cancelled by us at any time.
You agree to pay us an additional amount each month to reimburse us for the
insurance premium and an administrative fee, on which we or our affiliates may
earn a profit. In the event of loss or damage to the Product, you agree to remain
responsible for the Payment obligations under this Lease Agreement until the
Payment obligations are fully satisfied.
9. Title; Recording. We are the owner of and will hold title to the Product (except
for any Software). You will keep the Product free of all liens and encumbrances.
Except as reflected on any Schedule, you agree that this Lease Agreement is a
true lease. However, if any Schedule is deemed to be intended for security, you
hereby grant to us a purchase money security interest in the Product covered by
the applicable Schedule (including any replacements, substitutions, additions,
attachments and proceeds) as security for the payment of the amounts under each
Schedule. You authorize us to file a copy of this Lease Agreement and/or any
Schedule as a financing statement, and you agree to promptly execute and deliver
to us any financing statements covering the Product that we may reasonably
require; provided, however, that you hereby authorize us to file any such
financing statement without your authentication to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
10. Software or Intangibles. To the extent that the Product includes Software, you
understand and agree that we have no right, title or interest in the Software, and
you will comply throughout the term of this Lease Agreement with any license
and/or other agreement (“Software License”) entered into with the supplier of the
Software (“Software Supplier”). You are responsible for entering into any
Software License with the Software Supplier no later than the Effective Date;
provided, however, if you do not enter into the Software License, then we may
choose not to lease such Software to you under this Lease Agreement.

Schedules: (a) you fail to pay any Payment or any other amount within thirty (30)
days of its due date, (b) any representation or warranty made by you in this Lease

may require you to immediately pay to us, as compensation for loss of our
bargain and not as a penalty, a sum equal to: (i) all past due Payments and all
other amounts then due and payable under this Lease Agreement or any Schedule;
and (ii) the present value of all unpaid Payments for the remainder of the term of
each Schedule plus the present value of our anticipated value of the Product at the
end of the initial term of any Schedule (or any renewal of such Schedule), each
discounted at a rate equal to 3% per year to the date of default, and we may
charge you interest on all amounts due us from the date of default until paid at the

applicable law. We agree to apply the net proceeds (as specified below in this

Software, if applicable), we may sell or otherwise dispose of it with or without
notice, at a public or private disposition, and to apply the net proceeds (after we
have deducted all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees) to the amounts that
you owe us. You agree that, if notice of sale is required by law to be given, ten
(10) days notice shall constitute reasonable notice. If applicable, you will remain
responsible for any deficiency that is due after we have applied any such net
proceeds. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event an action is
brought to enforce or interpret this Lease Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to reimbursement of all costs including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorney fees and court costs incurred.
13. Ownership of Product; Assignment. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SELL,
TRANSFER, ENCUMBER, SUBLET OR ASSIGN THE PRODUCT OR THIS
LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY SCHEDULE WITHOUT OUR PRIOR
WRITTEN CONSENT (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). You
agree that we may sell or assign all or a portion of our interests, but not our
obligations, in the Product and/or this Lease Agreement or any Schedule without
notice to you even if less than all the Payments have been assigned. In the event
the remit to address for Payments is changed during the term of this Lease
Agreement or any Schedule, then Ricoh or the Assignee will provide notice to
you. In that event, the assignee (the “Assignee”) will have such rights as we
assign to them but none of our obligations (we will keep those obligations) and
the rights of the Assignee will not be subject to any claims, defenses or set offs
that you may have against us. No assignment to an Assignee will release Ricoh
from any obligations Ricoh may have to you hereunder. The Maintenance
Agreement you have entered into with a Servicer will remain in full force and
effect with Servicer and will not be affected by any such assignment. You
acknowledge that the Assignee did not manufacture or design the Product and that
you have selected the Manufacturer, Servicer and the Product based on your own
judgment.
14. Renewal; Return of Product. UNLESS EITHER PARTY NOTIFIES THE
OTHER IN WRITING AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS, BUT NOT MORE
THAN ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) DAYS, PRIOR TO THE
EXPIRATION OF THE MINIMUM TERM OR EXTENSION OF SUCH
SCHEDULE, AFTER THE MINIMUM TERM OR ANY EXTENSION OF
ANY SCHEDULE TO THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, SUCH SCHEDULE WILL
AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON A MONTH-TO-MONTH BASIS;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT AT ANY TIME DURING ANY MONTH-TO-
MONTH RENEWAL, WE HAVE THE RIGHT, UPON THIRTY (30) DAYS
NOTICE, TO DEMAND THAT THE PRODUCT BE RETURNED TO US IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 14. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein is intended to provide, nor shall be interpreted as
providing, (a) you with a legally enforceable option to extend or renew the terms
of this Lease Agreement or any Schedule, or (b) us with a legally enforceable
option to compel any such extension or renewal. At the end of or upon
termination of each Schedule, you shall immediately make arrangements to have
the Product subject to such expired Schedule picked up by us (or our designee), in
as good condition as when you received it, except for ordinary wear and tear.
Ricoh (or our designee) shall bear shipping charges. You must pay additional
monthly Payments at the same rate as then in effect under a Schedule, until (i)
you provide notice to us prior to the expiration of the minimum term or extension
of any Schedule and (ii) the Product is picked up by us or our designees and is
received in good condition and working order by us or our designees.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease Agreement, the
parties acknowledge and agree that we shall have no obligation to remove, delete,
preserve, maintain or otherwise safeguard any information, images or content
retained by or resident in any Products leased by you hereunder, whether through
a digital storage device, hard drive or other electronic medium (“Data
Management Services”). If desired, you may engage Ricoh to perform Data
Management Services at then-prevailing contracted rates pursuant to your
Maintenance Agreement or other agreement with Ricoh. You acknowledge that
you are responsible for ensuring your own compliance with legal requirements in
connection with data retention and protection and that we do not provide legal
advice or represent that the Products will guarantee compliance with such
requirements. The selection, use and design of any Data Management Services,
and any decisions arising with respect to the deletion or storage of data, as well as
the loss of any data resulting therefrom, shall be your sole and exclusive
responsibility
15. Miscellaneous. It is the intent of the parties that this Lease Agreement and any
Schedule shall be deemed and constitute a “finance lease” as defined under and
governed by Article 2A of the UCC. ORAL AGREEMENTS OR
COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR
FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES
TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. YOU
AGREE THAT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THE
CONTRACT, THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, AND IN EACH SCHEDULE
MAKE UP THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US REGARDING THE
LEASING OR RENTAL OF THE PRODUCT AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR
WRITTEN OR ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT
MATTER CONTAINED HEREIN, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
PURCHASE ORDERS. Any purchase order, or other ordering documents, will
not modify or affect this Lease Agreement or any Schedule and shall serve only
the purpose of identifying the equipment ordered. You authorize us to supply any
missing “configure to order” number (“CTO”), other equipment identification
numbers (including, without limitation, serial numbers), agreement/schedule
identification numbers and/or dates in this Lease Agreement or any Schedule.
You acknowledge that you have not been induced to enter into this Lease
Agreement by any representation or warranty not expressly set forth in this Lease
Agreement. Neither this Lease Agreement nor any Schedule is binding on us until
we sign it. ANY CHANGE IN ANY OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY SCHEDULE MUST BE IN WRITING
AND SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES. If we delay or fail to enforce any of its
rights under this Lease Agreement with respect to any or all Schedules, we will
still be able to enforce those rights at a later time. All notices shall be given in
writing and sent either (a) by certified mail, return receipt requested, or
recognized overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the party
receiving the notice at the address shown on the front of this Lease Agreement, or
(b) by facsimile transmission, with oral confirmation, to the facsimile number
shown below such party’s signature on this Lease Agreement. Either party may
change its address or facsimile number by giving written notice of such change to
the other party. Notices shall be effective on the date received. Each of our
respective rights and indemnities will survive the termination of this Lease
Agreement and each Schedule. If more than one customer has signed this Lease
Agreement or any Schedule, each customer agrees that its liability is joint and
several. It is the express intent of the parties not to violate any applicable usury
laws or to exceed the maximum amount of time price differential or interest, as
applicable, permitted to be charged or collected by applicable law, and any such
excess payment will be applied to payments in the order of maturity, and any
remaining excess will be refunded to you. We make no representation or
warranty of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the legal, tax or
accounting treatment of this Lease Agreement and any Schedule and you
acknowledge that we are an independent contractor and not your fiduciary. You
will obtain your own legal, tax and accounting advice related to this Lease
Agreement or any Schedule and make your own determination of the proper
accounting treatment of this Lease Agreement or any Schedule. We may receive
compensation from the Manufacturer or supplier of the Product in order to enable
us to reduce the cost of leasing or renting the Product to you under this Lease
Agreement or any Schedule below what we otherwise would charge. If we
received such compensation, the reduction in the cost of leasing or renting the
Product is reflected in the Minimum Payment specified in the applicable
Schedule. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you authorize us or
our agent to obtain credit reports and make credit inquiries regarding you and
your financial condition and to provide your information, including payment
history, to our assignee and third parties having an economic interest in this Lease
Agreement, any Schedule or the Product.

LAWSUIT. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU
WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON A
CUSTOMER OR LESSEE BY SECTIONS 508-522 OF ARTICLE 2A OF THE
UCC THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US (BUT NOT AGAINST THE
MANUFACTURER OF THE PRODUCT).TO HELP THE GOVERNMENT

INSTITUTIONS TO OBTAIN, VERIFY AND RECORD INFORMATION
THAT IDENTIFIES EACH PERSON WHO OPENS AN ACCOUNT. WHAT
THIS MEANS FOR YOU: WHEN YOU OPEN AN ACCOUNT, WE WILL
ASK FOR YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND OTHER INFORMATION THAT
WILL ALLOW US TO IDENTIFY YOU. WE MAY ASK TO SEE
IDENTIFYING DOCUMENTS.
17. Counterparts; Facsimiles. Each Schedule may be executed in counterparts. The
counterpart which has our original signature and/or is in our possession or control
shall constitute chattel paper as that term is defined in the UCC and shall
constitute the original agreement for all purposes, including, without limitation,
(a) any hearing, trial or proceeding with respect to such Schedule, and (b) any
determination as to which version of such Schedule constitutes the single true
original item of chattel paper under the UCC. If you sign and transmit a Schedule
to us by facsimile or other electronic transmission, the facsimile or such electronic
transmission of such Schedule, upon execution by us (manually or electronically,
as applicable), shall be binding upon the parties. You agree that the facsimile or
other electronic transmission of a Schedule containing your facsimile or other
electronically transmitted signature, which is manually or electronically signed by
us, shall constitute the original agreement for all purposes, including, without
limitation, those outlined above in this Section. You agree to deliver to us upon
our request the counterpart of such Schedule containing your original manual
signature.
18. State and Local Government Provisions. If the Customer is a State or political
subdivision of a State, as those terms are defined in Section 103 of the Internal
Revenue Code, the following additional terms and conditions shall apply:
(a) Essentiality. During the term of this Lease Agreement and any Schedule, the
Product will be used solely for the purpose of performing one or more
governmental or proprietary functions consistent with the permissible scope
of your authority. You represent and warrant that the use of the Product is
essential to performing such governmental or proprietary functions.
(b) Non-Appropriation/Non-Substitution. (i) If your governing body fails to
appropriate sufficient monies in any fiscal period for rentals and other
payments coming due under a Schedule to this Lease Agreement in the next
succeeding fiscal period for any equipment which will perform services and
functions which in whole or in part are essentially the same services and
functions performed by the Product covered by any such Schedule, then a
“Non-Appropriation” shall be deemed to have occurred. (ii) If a Non-
Appropriation occurs, then: (A) you must give us immediate notice of such
Non-Appropriation and provide written notice of such failure by your
governing body at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then current
fiscal year or if Non-Appropriation has not occurred by such date,
immediately upon Non-Appropriation, (B) no later than the last day of the
fiscal year for which appropriations were made for the rental due under any
Schedule to this Lease Agreement (the “Return Date”), you shall make
available to us (or our designee) all, but not less than all, of the Product
covered by such Schedule to this Lease Agreement, at your sole expense, in
accordance with the terms hereof; and (C) any Schedule to this Lease
Agreement shall terminate on the Return Date without penalty or expense to
you and you shall not be obligated to pay the rentals beyond such fiscal year,
provided that (x) you shall pay any and all rentals and other payments due up
through the end of the last day of the fiscal year for which appropriations
were made and (y) you shall pay month-to-month rent at the rate set forth in
any such Schedule for each month or part thereof that you fail to make
available to us (or our designee) the Product as required herein. (iii) Upon any
such Non-Appropriation, upon our request, you will provide an opinion of
independent counsel or other legally designated authority (who shall be
reasonably acceptable to us), in form reasonably acceptable to us, confirming
the Non-Appropriation and providing reasonably sufficient proof of such
Non-Appropriation.
(c) Funding Intent. You represent and warrant to us that you presently intend to
continue this Lease Agreement and any Schedule hereto for the entire term of
such Schedule and to pay all rentals relating to such Schedule and to do all
things lawfully within your power to obtain and maintain funds from which
the rentals and all other payments owing under such Schedule may be made.
The parties acknowledge that appropriation for rentals is a governmental
function to which you cannot contractually commit yourself in advance and
this Lease Agreement shall not constitute such a commitment. To the extent
permitted by law, the person or entity in charge of preparing your budget will
include in the budget request for each fiscal year during the term of each
Schedule, respectively, to this Lease Agreement an amount equal to the
rentals (to be used for such rentals) to become due in such fiscal year, and
will use all reasonable and lawful means available to secure the appropriation

PAYMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO SET-
OFFS, CLAIMS OR DEFENSES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, ALL
OF WHICH YOU HEREBY WAIVE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. You agree that you will remit payments to us in the form
of company checks (or personal checks in the case of sole proprietorships),

of payment under this Agreement, and you will not remit such forms of
payment to us. Payment in any other form may delay processing or be returned
to you.
3. Prepayment. You may not partially prepay the Principal Amount prior to the
end of the Term without our written consent, which may be conditioned upon
the payment of fees, the adjustment of the monthly Payment amount, and other
terms and conditions. At any time, Customer may prepay all, but not less than
all, of the Principal Amount, together with any and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, any and all other amounts payable by Customer under this
Agreement and, if such prepayment is made prior to the last twelve (12)
months of the Term, a prepayment fee equal to the lesser of (i) one percent
(1%) of the Principal Amount outstanding on the date of prepayment (without

twelve-month periods remaining until the end of the Term and (ii) the
maximum prepayment charge allowed by applicable law, or as otherwise
mutually agreed to by the parties.
4. Late Payments. If any Payment or any other sum due under this Agreement is
not received within ten (10) days after the applicable due date for such
Payment or other amount, in addition to the amount of each such Payment or
other amount, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, you shall pay a
late payment charge of five (5%) of such past due amount or $5 (whichever is
greater, but not to exceed the maximum amount allowed by applicable law). To
the extent not prohibited by applicable law, you also agree to pay $25 for each
check returned for insufficient funds or any other reason.
5. Ownership; Security Interest. Unless we are the licensor of the Licensed
Software, we have no ownership interest in the Licensed Software and shall not

To secure all of your obligations under this Agreement, you grant to us a
security interest in your rights under and interests in each software license
agreement relating to the Licensed Software, including any amendments
thereto (each, a “License”) and each maintenance, support or other service
agreement relating to any License, together with all of your rights and interest
in any general intangibles which any of the foregoing may represent, and all
products and proceeds of such rights and interest (collectively, the
“Collateral”). You irrevocably grant to us the power to prepare, sign on your
behalf (if applicable), and file Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing
statements identifying the Collateral and any related amendments or
continuations.
6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. You hereby represent, warrant
and covenant as follows: (i) you have the power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to grant the security interest described in this Agreement; (ii)
the Collateral is, and will remain, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
of every kind, except for the security interest granted in this Agreement and the
rights of the software licensor in the Licensed Software; (iii) you will maintain
each License in full force and effect and will do all acts deemed necessary by
us to continue our perfected, first priority security interest in the Collateral; (iv)
you shall remain solely responsible under any License for the observance and
performance of all conditions and obligations of you under such License; (v)
you shall pay promptly when due all taxes, fees, assessments and other
charges levied or assessed on any of the Collateral or on the use of the
Collateral or on this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law; (v)

business, and not for personal, household or family purposes; (vi) your address,
legal name, and form and jurisdiction of organization are set forth above or
referenced above, and you will not change your address, legal name or form or
jurisdiction of organization without thirty (30) days prior written notice to us;

authorized officer or agent and constitutes your legal and binding obligations,
enforceable against you in accordance with its terms.

Agreement: (i) you fail to make payment of any amount due under this
Agreement within thirty (30) days after its due date; (ii) you default or fail to
perform any of your obligations under this Agreement; (iii) any License is

this Agreement proves to be false in any material respect; or (v) the
appointment of a receiver for all or of any part of your property, the assignment
for the benefit of creditors or the commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law by or against you. Upon the occurrence of a
Default, we may (A) declare all of the Principal Amount immediately due and
payable, without demand or notice to you, and such amount shall bear interest
at the lower of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month or the maximum
rate allowed by applicable law; (B) terminate or cause to be terminated your
rights under each License and withhold or cause to be withheld any
maintenance, support or other service relating to each License; and (C)
exercise any and all rights of a secured party under the UCC, and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, we may charge you for expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement of such rights and remedies, including,

irrevocably grant to us the power to terminate or suspend any maintenance,
support or other service relating to each License for and on your behalf. Our
remedies are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by
law, and may be exercised concurrently or separately. Any failure or delay by
us to exercise any right shall not operate as a waiver of any other right or future
right. We shall not be required to first foreclose, proceed against or exhaust
any Collateral before enforcing your obligations under this Agreement. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby waive presentment, demand for
payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor,
and all other notices in connection herewith.

9. Limitation on Charges. Both parties intend to comply with all applicable laws.
In no event will you be charged nor will we collect any amounts in excess of
those allowed by applicable law. Any part of this Agreement that could, but
for this Section, be read under any circumstance to allow for a charge higher
than that allowable under any applicable legal limit, is limited and modified by
this Section to limit the amounts chargeable under this Agreement to the
maximum amount allowed under the legal limit. If in any circumstance, any
amount in excess of that allowed by law is charged or received, any such
charge will be deemed limited by the amount legally allowed and any amount
received by us in excess of that legally allowed will be applied by us to the
payment of amounts legally owed under this Agreement or refunded to you.

registered or certified mail or overnight courier service to the other party (as the
case may be) at its address stated herein, or at such other place as such addressee
may have designated in writing. Notices shall be effective upon receipt, as
reflected on the proof of delivery.
11. Assignment; Successors and Assigns. You shall not assign this Agreement or
any of your obligations under this Agreement, without our prior written consent.
We may sell or assign all or a portion of our interests in this Agreement without
notice to you even if less than all the Payments have been assigned. In that
event, the assignee (the “Assignee) will have such rights as we assign to them
but none of our obligations (we will keep those obligations) and the rights of the
Assignee will not be subject to any claims, defenses or set-offs that you may
have against us. In the event the remit to address for Payments is changed
during the term of this Agreement, then Ricoh or the Assignee will provide
notice to you. No assignment to an Assignee will release Ricoh from any
obligations Ricoh may have to you hereunder. This Agreement shall be
binding upon you and your representatives, successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of us, our successors and assigns. You acknowledge that
the Assignee is not the owner, developer or designer of the Licensed Software.
12. Indemnification. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are
responsible for all losses, claims, liens, suits, damages, liabilities,
infringement claims, injuries and attorneys’ fees and costs, including, without
limitation, those incurred in connection with responding to subpoenas, third
party or otherwise (“Claims”), incurred or asserted by any person, in any
manner relating to this Agreement or the Licensed Software. You agree to
indemnify and defend us against, and hold us harmless from, any and all
Claims, although we reserve the right to control the defense and to select or
approve defense counsel. This indemnity will survive the termination of this
Agreement. You shall pay to us all reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ and collection fees, incurred by us in enforcing the
terms and conditions under, or in protecting our rights and interests in, this
Agreement.

YOUR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS OR RESIDENCE IS LOCATED
TO RESOLVE ANY CONFLICT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE BOTH WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF A LAWSUIT. If any
provision of this Agreement is in conflict with any applicable statute, rule or
regulation, then such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent of
such conflict, but without invalidating any other provision of this Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the full and complete agreement between you and
us in connection with the Licensed Software. This Agreement cannot be
modified except by mutual, signed written agreement between you and us.
This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any
amount shall remain outstanding under this Agreement.
14. Miscellaneous. You authorize us to insert or correct missing information on
this Agreement, limited to the following: (1) the agreement and/or applicable
contract number(s), (2) your proper legal name, jurisdiction and form of
organization and (3) any information describing the Licensed Software to

Agreement.

upon execution by us (manually or electronically, as applicable), shall be
binding upon the parties. You agree that the facsimile or other electronic
transmission of this Agreement containing your facsimile or other
electronically transmitted signature, which is manually or electronically signed
by us, shall constitute the original agreement for all purposes, including,
without limitation, those outlined above in this Section. You agree to deliver to
us upon our request the counterpart of this Agreement containing your manual
signature.
16. State and Local Government Provisions. If the Customer is a State or political
subdivision of a State, as those terms are defined in Section 103 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as indicated on the first page of this Agreement, the following
additional terms and conditions shall apply:
(a) Essentiality. During the term of this Agreement, the Licensed Software
will be used solely for the purpose of performing one or more
governmental or proprietary functions consistent with the permissible
scope of your authority. You represent and warrant that the use of the
Licensed Software is essential to performing such governmental or
proprietary functions.
(b) Non-Appropriation. (i) If your governing body fails to appropriate
sufficient monies in any fiscal period for rentals and other payments
coming due under this Agreement in the next succeeding fiscal period,
then a “Non-Appropriation” shall be deemed to have occurred. (ii) If a
Non-Appropriation occurs, then: (A) you must give us immediate notice
of such Non-Appropriation and provide written notice of such failure by
your governing body at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then
current fiscal year or if Non-Appropriation has not occurred by such date,
immediately upon Non-Appropriation, and (B) this Agreement shall
terminate, on the last day of the fiscal period for which funds were
appropriated for the amounts due under this Agreement, without penalty
or expense to you and you shall not be obligated to pay amounts due
under this Agreement beyond such fiscal year, provided that you shall
pay any and all amounts due up through the end of the last day of the
fiscal year for which appropriations were made. (iii) Upon any such Non-
Appropriation, upon our request, you will provide an opinion of
independent counsel or other legally designated authority (who shall be
reasonably acceptable to us), in form reasonably acceptable to us,
confirming the Non-Appropriation and providing reasonably sufficient
proof of such Non-Appropriation.
(c) Funding Intent. You represent and warrant to us that you presently intend
to continue this Agreement for the entire term of this Agreement and to
pay all amounts due under this Agreement and to do all things lawfully
within your power to obtain and maintain funds from which such
amounts may be paid. The parties acknowledge that appropriation for
rentals is a governmental function to which you cannot contractually
commit yourself in advance and this Agreement shall not constitute such
a commitment. To the extent permitted by law, the person or entity in
charge of preparing your budget will include in the budget request for
each fiscal year during the term of this Agreement the amounts due under
this Agreement to become due in such fiscal year, and will use all
reasonable and lawful means available to secure the appropriation of
money for such fiscal year sufficient to pay all amounts under this
Agreement coming due during such fiscal year.
(d) Authority and Authorization. (i) You represent and warrant to us that: (A)
you are a State or political subdivision of a State, as those terms are
defined in Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code; (B) you have the
power and authority to enter into this Agreement; (C) this Agreement has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by you and constitute a

and to file all necessary forms, including IRS Forms 8038-G or 8038-GC,
as applicable, to preserve the tax exempt status of this Agreement. (iv)
You agree to provide us with any other documents that we may
reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and this Agreement.

the Assignee in writing, if so requested, and, if applicable, to keep a
complete and accurate record of all such assignments in a manner that
complies with Section 149(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and the

effective from the ______ day of __________________, 20____ and shall remain in effect for so long as any current or renewal term of any
Order Form (as defined below) executed by Ricoh and Customer remains in effect. Any expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement
shall not, however, be deemed to terminate, alter or otherwise modify the term of any Order Form entered into by the parties, which shall
remain in effect in accordance with its terms. This Agreement is executed pursuant to the Contract by and between Ricoh Americas
Corporation and Fairfax County (the “County”) on behalf of the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance and all public agencies,
non-profits and higher education entities (“Participating Public Agencies”), having a Contract ID number of [INSERT] and the Contract Period is
from [INSERT] to June 30, 2016, with the option to renew for no more than six (6) years (the “Contract Period”), one year at a time, or any
combination thereof (the “Contract”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Order Form entered into during the Contract Period shall continue
in full force and effect for the entire term set forth in the Order Form. This Agreement shall consist of the terms and conditions of the Contract
and this Agreement and any Order Form issued pursuant thereto. As it pertains to this Agreement for Services (as defined below), the order of
precedence of the component parts of this Agreement shall be as follows: (a) the terms and conditions of the Order Form (b) the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and (b) the terms and conditions of the Contract. The foregoing order of precedence shall govern the
interpretation of this Agreement in cases of conflict or inconsistency therein.
1. Services. Ricoh and/or its affiliate companies will provide
Customer and/or its subsidiary and affiliated companies with the
services more particularly described in an ordering document (the
“Services”). In order to obtain Services from Ricoh, Customer shall
submit to Ricoh an ordering document in the form of a Service
Order, Statement of Work or other written instrument accepted and
approved by Ricoh (an “Order Form”). In order to expedite the
ordering and delivery process, and for the convenience of the
Customer, this Agreement establishes the terms and conditions
between the parties governing all Services. Any documents issued
by Customer to procure services at any time for any reason, even if
they do not expressly reference or incorporate this Agreement, will
not modify or affect this Agreement notwithstanding the inclusion
of any additional or different terms or conditions in any such
ordering document and shall serve only the purpose of identifying
the services ordered and shall be subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
2. Service Warranties. Ricoh warrants that the Services
performed under an Order Form will be performed in a good and
workmanlike manner. Ricoh will re-perform any Services not in
compliance with this warranty and brought to Ricoh’s attention in
writing within a reasonable time, but in no event more than thirty
(30) days after such Services are performed; provided, however,
resolution of any applicable service levels shall be made in
accordance with the terms of the Order Form.
3. Fees and Charges. Customer payment for Services shall be net
thirty (30) days. All rates and other charges provided for in any
Order Form or owing under this Agreement are exclusive of all
federal, state, municipal or other governmental excise, sales, use or
similar taxes, which taxes (other than taxes relating to Ricoh’s
income) will be billed to Customer if required to be collected and
remitted by Ricoh. Except as expressly set forth in writing, Ricoh
may, increase fees and any rate expressly stated in any Order Form
with respect to on-site Personnel in accordance with the pricing
changes in the Contract. To the extent not prohibited by applicable
law and unless and to the extent Customer is exempt and provides a
valid exemption certificate to Ricoh, in addition to the payments
under the Order Form, Customer agrees to pay all taxes,
assessments, fees and charges governmentally imposed upon
Ricoh’s provision of the Services under an Order Form.
4. Invoicing. All invoiced amounts shall be due to Ricoh by the
date indicated on the invoice and will be considered past due
thereafter. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, if any
invoiced amount is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date,
Customer will pay, in addition to the invoiced amount, a late charge
of five percent (5%) of the overdue payment (but in no event greater
than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law). To the
extent permitted by applicable law, in the event an action is brought
to enforce or interpret this Agreement or an Order Form, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and court
costs incurred. If Customer is in arrears on any invoice, Ricoh may,
on giving notice, withhold or cancel further performance of Order
Forms for such Services until all overdue amounts are paid in full.
Ricoh may suspend or terminate this Agreement or any Order Form
entered into hereunder for non-payment. If Customer disputes a
charge or charges on a given invoice, Customer shall pay all non-
disputed charges and protest the disputed charges in writing to
Ricoh. Customer will not be charged a late fee on any charges
disputed by Customer in accordance with this Agreement.
5. Term. Termination of Services. This Agreement is effective as
of the date set forth above and will remain in effect for so long as
any initial or renewal term of any Order Form remains in effect.
Any earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not
be deemed to terminate, alter or otherwise modify the term of any
Order Form, which shall remain in effect in accordance with its
terms and subject to this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth
in an Order Form, either party may terminate any of the Services
specified in an Order Form upon thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice, subject to any termination fee as may be set forth in the
applicable Order Form. In the event Ricoh terminates any Services
procured hereunder or this Agreement without cause, Ricoh shall
reimburse Customer for all prepaid fees related to Services not

Rev. 03/01/2013
rendered prior to termination. Upon termination of this Agreement
by Customer, Customer shall be responsible for payment for all
Services completed by Ricoh and accepted by Customer through
the effective date of termination.
6. Default. In addition to any other rights or remedies which either
party may have under this Agreement or at law or equity, either
party shall have the right to cancel the Services provided under this
Agreement immediately: (i) if the other party fails to pay any fees
or charges or any other payments required under this Agreement
when due and payable, and such failure continues for a period of ten
(10) days after being notified in writing of such failure; or (ii) if the
other party fails to perform or observe any other material covenant
or condition of this Agreement, and such failure or breach shall
continue un-remedied for a period of thirty (30) days after such
party is notified in writing of such failure or breach; or (iii) if the
other party becomes insolvent, dissolves, or assigns its assets for the
benefit of its creditors, or files or has filed against it any bankruptcy
or reorganization proceeding.
7. Confidentiality.
7.1 Ricoh recognizes that it must perform the Services in a manner
that protects any information of Customer or its clients that
Customer has clearly identified to Ricoh as being confidential (such
information hereafter referred to collectively as Customer
Confidential Information”) that may be disclosed to Ricoh
hereunder from improper use or disclosure. Ricoh agrees to treat
Customer Confidential Information on a confidential basis. Ricoh
further agrees that it will not disclose any Customer Confidential
Information without Customer’s prior written consent to any third
party except to authorized representatives of Customer or to
employees or subcontractors of Ricoh who have a need to access
such Customer Confidential Information to perform the Services
contemplated hereunder. Customer Confidential Information shall
not include (i) information which at the time of disclosure is in the
public domain, (ii) information which, after disclosure becomes part
of the public domain by publication or otherwise through no fault of
Ricoh, or (iii) information which can be established to have been
independently developed and so documented by Ricoh or obtained
by Ricoh from any person not in breach of any confidential
obligations to Customer. The terms of this Agreement shall not be
considered to be Customer Confidential Information. Customer
acknowledges and agrees that any information provided by
Customer to Ricoh pursuant to this Agreement that constitutes
Protected Health Information (“PHI”) subject to the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 45 CFR Parts
160 and 164 (“HIPAA”) and the Health Information Technology for
Economical and Clinical Health Act, Public Law 111-005 (the
“HITECH Act”) or “nonpublic personal information” as defined
under the Title V of the U.S. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. §
6801 et seq., and the rules and regulations issued thereunder
(“Gramm-Leach-Bliley”) shall be specifically identified as such to
Ricoh in writing.
7.2 The parties acknowledge and agree that Ricoh shall have no
obligation to remove, delete, preserve, maintain or otherwise
safeguard any information, images or content retained by, in or on
any item of Customer owned, Customer leased or Ricoh provided
equipment, whether through a digital storage device, hard drive or
similar electronic medium (“Data Management Services”). If
desired, Customer may engage Ricoh to perform such Data
Management Services at then-current Contract rates. The selection,
use and design of any Data Management Services, and any and all
decisions arising with respect to the deletion or storage of any data,
data information or documentation, as well as any loss of data
resulting therefrom, shall be the sole responsibility of Customer. If
desired, Customer may engage Ricoh to perform the following Data
Management Services, and the parties shall enter into a written work
order setting the details of any such engagement:
Hard Drive Surrender Service. Under this option, a Ricoh
service technician can remove the hard drive from the
applicable equipment (set forth on a work order) and provide
Customer with custody of the hard drive before the equipment
is removed from the Customer’s location, moved to another
department or any other disposition of the equipment. The
cost for the Hard Drive Surrender Services shall be as set
forth in the Contract.
DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS). DOSS is a Ricoh
product designed to overwrite the sector of the hard drive
used for data processing to prevent recovery. Additionally,
DOSS also offers the option of overwriting the entire hard
drive up to nine (9) times.
7.3 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Customer is responsible for ensuring its own compliance with any
and all applicable legal, regulatory, business, industry, security,
compliance and storage requirements relating to data retention,
protection, destruction and/or access. It is the Customer’s sole
responsibility to obtain advice of competent legal counsel as to the
identification and interpretation of any relevant laws and regulatory
requirements that may affect the customer’s business or data
retention, and any actions required to comply with such laws.
RICOH DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL, ACCOUNTING OR TAX
ADVICE OR REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ITS
SERVICES OR PRODUCTS WILL GUARANTEE OR ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION OR
REQUIREMENT.
7.4 Ricoh recommends encryption related to the transmission of
data for the provision of Services. If data is required to be
encrypted by law (including but not limited to HIPAA, the HITECH
Act, or Gramm-Leach-Bliley), and should Customer not encrypt
such data, Customer is responsible for such failure to encrypt under
the law.
8. Insurance. At all times during the term of this Agreement,
Ricoh shall comply with the following insurance requirements:
8.1 Ricoh shall maintain workers’ compensation insurance for all
such party’s employees, including coverage under the applicable
law of the jurisdiction where the work will be performed. Ricoh
shall also require that all of its subcontractors maintain similar
workers’ compensation coverage. For the purpose of this Section,
self-insurance approved by the appropriate state agency or
regulatory body is deemed to satisfy these requirements.
8.2 Ricoh shall maintain employer’s liability insurance (in the
United States typically Coverage B of a workers’ compensation
policy) with limits of a minimum of: (i) $1,000,000 for each
accident for bodily injury by accident; (ii) $1,000,000 for bodily
injury by disease; and (iii) $1,000,000 for each employee for bodily
injury by disease. Ricoh shall also require that all of its
subcontractors maintain similar employer’s liability coverage.
8.3 Ricoh shall maintain general liability insurance and include the
other party as an additional insured. Limits shall be a minimum of:
(i) $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury or property damage;
(ii) $1,000,000 per occurrence for products or completed operations;
and (iii) $2,000,000 annual aggregate for products or completed
operations’ claims. Coverage shall include those perils generally
associated with a commercial general liability policy and
specifically include contractual liability coverage. Coverage shall
contain no exclusions for cross liability between insureds. Ricoh
shall also require that all of its subcontractors maintain similar
general liability insurance.
U.S. Communities Master Agreement Page 3
Rev. 03/01/2013
8.4 Ricoh shall maintain automobile liability insurance that includes
the other party as an additional insured. Limits shall be a minimum
of: (i) $1,000,000 per accident combined single limit or (ii)
$1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $500,000 per
occurrence for property damage. Coverage shall include liability
assumed under the Agreement.
8.5 Ricoh shall maintain professional liability insurance to the
extent applicable to any contracted professional services for any
negligent acts, errors or omissions in the performance of such
professional services. Policy limits shall be a minimum of
$1,000,000 per occurrence.
8.6 Customer shall maintain insurance, through self-insurance or
otherwise, that is necessary for Customer to perform its obligations
hereunder and shall be appropriate under applicable law, including
commercial general liability and workers’ compensation policies.
8.7 With regard to the above, Ricoh’s insurance shall: (i) be
underwritten by a licensed insurer reasonably acceptable to the other
party; (ii) be primary for Ricoh’s exposure relative to any insurance
purchased or maintained by the other party; (iii) be evidenced by a
certificate of insurance containing a signature by a duly authorized
representative of the insurer providing such insurance cannot be
canceled, non-renewed or materially altered without thirty (30) days
written notice by certified mail to the other party. With regard to
the general liability insurance and automobile liability insurance,
Ricoh’s insurance shall be endorsed so the insurer will waive
subrogation rights against the other party.
9. Indemnification.
9.1 Ricoh shall indemnify, keep and save harmless the Customer, its
agents, officials, employees and volunteers against claims of bodily
injuries, death, damage to property, theft, patent claims, suits,
liabilities, judgments, cost and expenses which may otherwise
accrue against the Customer in consequence of the performance of
this Agreement or which may otherwise result therefrom, to the
extent the act was caused through the negligent acts or omissions or
willful misconduct of Ricoh or its employees, or that of any Ricoh
subcontractor or its employees, if any; and Ricoh shall, at its own
expense, appear, defend and pay all charges of attorneys and all
costs and other expenses arising therefrom or incurred in connection
therewith; and if any judgment shall be rendered against the
Customer in any such action, Ricoh shall, at its own expense, satisfy
and discharge the same. Ricoh expressly understands and agrees that
any performance bond or insurance protection required by this
Agreement, or otherwise provided by Ricoh, shall in no way limit
the responsibility to indemnify, keep and save harmless and defend
the Customer as herein provided.
9.2 Customer shall be responsible for its acts or omissions and the
acts or omissions of its agents, officials, employees and volunteers.
9.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to give Ricoh any control over
decisions relating to choosing the content of information copied or
otherwise handled hereunder. Customer represents that it violates
no intellectual property rights or confidentiality agreements of third-
parties by having Ricoh perform Services under this Agreement.
9.4 Without intending to create any limitation relating to the
survival of any other provisions of this Agreement, Ricoh and
Customer agree that the terms of this paragraph shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Each party shall
promptly notify the other in the event of the threat or initiation of
any claim, demand, action or proceeding to which the
indemnification obligations set forth in this Section may apply.
10. Limitations. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH HEREIN OR IN AN ORDER FORM, RICOH MAKES
NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
WITH RESPECT TO ANY SERVICES, EQUIPMENT OR
GOODS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO WARRANTIES ARE CREATED
BY ANY COURSE OF DEALING BETWEEN THE PARTIES,
COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, TRADE USAGE OR INDUSTRY
CUSTOM. RICOH ASSUMES NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE
OR INSTALL ANY ANTI-VIRUS OR SIMILAR SOFTWARE,
AND THE SCOPE OF SERVICES CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY SUCH SERVICES. Ricoh shall be
excused from any delay or failure in performance of the Services
under this Agreement for any period if such delay or failure is
caused by any event of force majeure or other similar factors
beyond its reasonable control. THE AMOUNT OF ANY
LIABILITY OF RICOH TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD
PARTY, FOR ONE OR MORE CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN
THE AGGREGATE, THE AMOUNT PAID TO RICOH FOR THE
PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
DURING THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE
DATE ON WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE. IN NO EVENT
SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY
FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR
INDIRECT DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
11. Professional Services. In the event that Customer desires to
order professional services (including but not limited to, document
output analysis, back-file conversion services, hosting, coding, data
discovery, imaging services, or forensic collection services), or
engage Ricoh for certain project-based work (“Professional
Services”), it must do so by entering into an Order Form accepted
and approved by Ricoh for such purpose. Each Order Form will be
governed by this Agreement and the Contract and the following
terms:
11.1 Changes to the scope of the Professional Services described in
any such Order Form shall be made only in a written change order
signed by both parties. Ricoh shall have no obligation to commence
work in connection with any change until the fee and/or schedule
impact of the change and all other applicable terms are agreed upon
by both parties in writing. Ricoh shall provide any such
Professional Services at the Customer location set forth in the Order
Form, as applicable, or on a remote basis as mutually agreed upon.
In consideration of the services set forth in the Order Form,
Customer shall pay Ricoh the fees in the amounts and at the rates set
forth therein per the Contract prices. Ricoh may suspend or
terminate such services for non-payment of Services should
Customer be in violation of payment provisions of this Agreement.
11.2 Customer acknowledges that Ricoh’s performance of any such
Professional Services is dependent upon Customer’s timely and
effective performance of its responsibilities as set forth in the Order
Form. Estimated delivery and/or service schedules contained in any
Order Form are non-binding estimates.
11.3 Intellectual property rights arising from the Professional
Services (but not the data, materials or content provided by
Customer) shall remain the property of Ricoh, and nothing
contained in any Order Form shall be construed to transfer, convey,
restrict, impair or deprive Ricoh of any of its ownership or
proprietary interest or rights in technology, information or products
that existed prior to the provision of deliverables under the Order
Form or that may be independently developed by Ricoh outside the
scope of the Order Form and without use of any confidential or
otherwise restricted material or information thereunder. Customer
shall not use any Professional Services provided pursuant to an
U.S. Communities Master Agreement Page 4
Rev. 03/01/2013
Order Form for any unlawful purpose. Neither party shall acquire
any right, title or interest in or to the other party's intellectual
property (“IP”) rights including their copyrights, patents, trade
secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names or product names.
Subject to payment of all relevant fees and charges, Ricoh hereby
grants Customer a worldwide, perpetual, nonexclusive, non-
transferable, royalty-free (other than payments identified in the
applicable Order Form or other transaction documents) license for
its internal business purposes only to use, execute, display, perform
and distribute (within Customer’s organization only) anything
developed by Ricoh for Customer in connection with the
Professional Services (“Contract Property”), unless otherwise
agreed upon in the Statement of Work. Ricoh shall retain all
ownership rights to the Contract Property. For purposes of clarity
any Order Form and the foregoing license relates to the Professional
Services only, and software programs shall not be deemed to be
deliverables or Services or “Professional Services.” All licensing
for Ricoh or third-party software shall be as provided in subsection
11.4 below.
11.4 All Ricoh and/or third-party software provided by Ricoh as
part of or in connection with the Professional Services is licensed,
not sold, and is subject to both the server, seat, quantity or other
usage restrictions set forth the relevant transaction documentation,
and to the terms of the respective End User License Agreements.
Upon Customer’s request, Ricoh shall provide the applicable End
User License Agreements to Customer. If such software is
manufactured by a party other than Ricoh, then Customer
acknowledges that Ricoh is not the manufacturer or copyright owner
of such third party software and that Ricoh makes no representations
and provides no warranties with respect thereto. Ricoh shall make
available to Customer any warranties made to Ricoh by the
manufacturer of the software and/or products utilized by Ricoh in
connection with the Professional Services hereunder, to the extent
transferable and without recourse.
12. Export Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, Customer shall at all times remain solely responsible for
complying with all applicable laws or regulations relating to export
and re-export control (collectively, “Export Laws”) and for
obtaining any applicable authorization or license under the Export
Laws. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Ricoh may from
time to time, in its sole discretion, engage third-party
subcontractors, both foreign and domestic, to perform any portion of
the Services on Ricoh’s behalf. Customer represents and warrants
to Ricoh that it, its employees and agents shall not provide Ricoh
with any document, technology, software or item for which any
authorization or license is required under any Export Law.
13. Personnel. If an Order Form provides for the provision by
Ricoh of on-site personnel (“Personnel”) to perform the Services,
such Personnel shall at all times be the employees of Ricoh, and
Ricoh shall be solely responsible for the supervision, daily direction
and control of such Personnel. Ricoh shall have the right to remove,
reassign, or take any other employment-related action with respect
to any of its Personnel furnished pursuant to this Agreement. In the
event of such removal or reassignment, Ricoh will furnish a
replacement. In addition, Ricoh shall be responsible for payment of
all compensation, benefits and employer taxes relating to such
Personnel (including workers’ compensation and disability). Ricoh
reserves the right to hire temporary employees or subcontractors, if
the circumstances require, in order to perform the Services or to
accommodate special requests from Customer. The parties do not
hereby intend to enter into a partnership or joint venture, to become
agents of one another or to have their respective personnel become
agents of the other, and the relationship between Ricoh and
Customer shall at all times be that of independent contractors,
whether under the HITECH Act or otherwise. Should Customer
determine that any Personnel are not performing in accordance with
the requirements of this Agreement, Customer shall provide Ricoh
with written notice of such failure. Within five (5) business days of
Ricoh’s receipt of such notice, and in accordance with Ricoh policy
and procedure, Ricoh shall remedy the deficiency with the
Personnel in question. Notwithstanding, if Customer believes that
an action of Personnel warrants immediate action by Ricoh,
Customer shall contact Ricoh and provide Ricoh in writing with the
reason for requesting such immediate action. Customer may not
request that Ricoh take action because of race, religion, gender, age,
disability, or any other legally-prohibited basis under federal, state
or local law.
14. Purchases of Equipment for Cash. In the event that Customer
desires to purchase equipment or products from Ricoh from time to
time, it may do so by issuing a Purchase Order/Sales Order to Ricoh
for that purpose. In connection with any equipment purchase from
Ricoh, Ricoh shall transfer to Customer any equipment warranties
made by the equipment manufacturer, to the extent transferable and
without recourse. Customer agrees to confirm delivery and
acceptance of all equipment purchased under this Agreement within
ten (10) business days after any equipment is delivered and installed
(if installation has been agreed to by the parties) by signing a
delivery and acceptance certificate (in a form to be provided by
Ricoh) or written delivery acknowledgement. Ricoh reserves the
right to make equipment deliveries in installments. All claims for
damaged equipment shall be deemed waived unless made in writing,
delivered to Ricoh within ten (10) business days after delivery of
equipment to Customer; provided, however, Ricoh shall not be
responsible for damage to equipment caused by the Customer, its
employees, agents or contractors. Ricoh warrants to Customer that
at the time of delivery and for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter
the Ricoh-manufactured equipment will be free from any defects in
material and workmanship; provided, however, the foregoing
warranty shall not apply in the event (i) the Ricoh-manufactured
equipment is installed, wired, modified, altered, moved or serviced
by anyone other than Ricoh, (ii) the Ricoh-manufactured equipment
is installed, stored and utilized and/or maintained in a manner not
consistent with Ricoh specifications, (iii) a defective or improper
non-Ricoh accessory or supply or part is attached to or used in the
Ricoh-manufactured equipment. Except to the extent of any
applicable and validated exemption, Customer agrees to pay any
applicable taxes that are levied on or payable as a result of the use,
sale, possession or ownership of the equipment purchased
hereunder, other than income taxes of Ricoh.
15. Assignment. Neither party shall assign or in any way dispose
of all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
16. Governing Law. This Agreement and any Services procured
hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State where the
Customer’s principal place of business or residence is located both
as to interpretation and performance, without regard to its choice of
law requirements. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original.
17. Non-Appropriation of Funds. If the Customer is a State or
political subdivision of a State, as those terms are defined in Section
103 of the Internal Revenue Code, the following additional terms
and conditions in this Section 17 shall apply. Customer’s obligation
to pay compensation due to us under this Agreement and any Order
Form is subject to appropriations by Customer’s governing board to
satisfy payment of such obligations. Customer’s obligations to make
payments during subsequent fiscal years are dependent upon the
same action. If such an appropriation is not made for any fiscal year,
the Order Form to this Agreement shall terminate effective at the
end of the fiscal year for which funds were appropriated and
Customer will not be obligated to make any payments under such
U.S. Communities Master Agreement Page 5
Rev. 03/01/2013
Order Form to this Agreement beyond the amount appropriated for
payment obligations under the Order Form to this Agreement.
Customer will provide Ricoh with written notice of non-
appropriation of funds within thirty (30) calendar days after action is
completed by Customer’s governing board. However, Customer’s
failure to provide such notice shall not extend the Order Form to this
Agreement into a fiscal year in which sufficient funds have not been
appropriated, provided that (x) Customer shall pay any and all
payments due up through the end of the last day of the fiscal year
for which appropriations were made and (y) Customer shall pay for
Services set forth under any such Order Form for each month or part
thereof that Customer utilizes the Services.
18. Miscellaneous. The parties agree that the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement, the Contract and any
document to procure Services make up the entire agreement
between them regarding the Services and supersede all prior written
or oral communications, understandings or agreements between the
parties relating to the subject matter contained herein, including
without limitation, purchase orders. All equipment purchased or
leased by Customer pursuant to a separate agreement will be
separate and independent obligations of Customer governed solely
by the terms set forth in such separate agreement. Except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein, any change in any of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement or any document to procure
Services hereunder must be in writing and signed by both parties.
The parties hereby acknowledge that this Agreement or any Order
Form may be executed by electronic means through the affixation of
a digital signature, or through other such similar electronic means,
and any such electronic signature by either party constitutes a
signature, acceptance, and agreement as if such had been actually
signed in writing by the applicable party. The delay or failure of
either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such
provision or affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each
and every provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement
shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular
provision held to be invalid or unenforceable. All notices shall be
given in writing and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,
or recognized overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed
to the party receiving the notice at the address shown on the front of
this Agreement. Either party may change its address by giving
written notice of such change to the other party. Notices shall be
effective on the date received. If more than one affiliate or
subsidiary of Customer has signed this Agreement, each such
Customer agrees that its liability is joint and several. If Customer
has signed this Agreement on behalf of any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, or for the benefit of any third party, Customer shall
remain liable for the obligations hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Master Agreement as of the effective date specified above.

at [$25.00] per hour per Personnel for week nights and [$30.00] per hour per Personnel for weekends and holidays,
with a four (4) hour per Personnel minimum overtime shift when the overtime is not directly adjacent to Normal
Operating Hours. [Ricoh shall require prior Customer approval for all overtime Services.]

for any costs related to Customer's freight, delivery and/or mail costs and, to the extent Ricoh pays such costs,
Customer shall reimburse Ricoh.
Transition Billing:
Option A (Long form):
During the [first [three (3)] months of the term of this Service Order] or [time period beginning on __________ __, 20__ and
ending on __________ __, 20__] (the “Transition Period”), Customer will pay a monthly service fee of $__________ per month
(“Transition Fee”) for the Services, which is based on the Customer’s historical monthly image volume of _____________ black
and white images and ______________ color images. During the Transition Period, Ricoh will perform an initial equipment
inventory of all Customer equipment to determine what equipment is covered by this Service Order and will update the TRAC
Asset Management Database to reflect any additional equipment (“Additional Equipment”) located during such inventory. Any
Additional Equipment will be Covered Equipment (as defined in Exhibit C hereto) under this Service Order, except as expressly
set forth in writing by Customer. If Ricoh determines that any Additional Equipment effects the Minimum Service Fee and/or
the Cost Per Image rates set forth above, Ricoh will provide Customer, in the form of an Amendment to this Service Order, with
the revised Minimum Service Fee and/or the Cost Per Image rates necessary to provide Services on the Additional Equipment
and Customer shall have thirty (30) days to agree to such revised Minimum Service Fee and/or Cost Per Image rates. In the event
Customer does not agree to such revised Minimum Service Fee and/or Cost Per Image rates, Ricoh shall have no obligation to
provide any Services on the Additional Equipment and Ricoh will charge Customer, on a time and materials basis at Ricoh’s then
current rates, for any Services previously provided on the Additional Equipment during the Transition Period. Ricoh will obtain
initial meter reads for all Covered Equipment during the Transition Period and Customer agrees to provide access to Ricoh on a
timely basis for such purpose. If Customer’s actual average monthly image volume during the first [three (3)] months after the
Transition Period is greater than or less than [ten percent (10%)] of the historical monthly image volumes set forth above, Ricoh
will invoice or credit, as applicable, the difference between the actual average monthly image volume and the historical monthly
image volume on Customer’s next invoice.
Option B (Implementation Billing)
During the [first [three (3)] months of the term of this Service Order] or [time period beginning on __________ __, 20__ and
ending on __________ __, 20__] (the “Transition Period”), Customer will pay a monthly service fee (“Transition Fee”) for the
Services, as set forth in the Implementation Plan attached hereto as Schedule 5. As set forth in the Implementation Plan, the
Transition Fee will be increased as the Services are implemented and any Ricoh Provided Equipment is installed at the
Customer’s location(s). During the Transition Period, Ricoh will perform an initial equipment inventory of all Customer
equipment to determine what equipment is covered by this Service Order and will update the TRAC Asset Management Database
to reflect any additional equipment (“Additional Equipment”) located during such inventory. Any Additional Equipment will be
Covered Equipment (as defined in Exhibit C hereto) under this Service Order, except as expressly set forth in writing by
Customer. If Ricoh determines that any Additional Equipment effects the Minimum Service Fee and/or Cost Per Image rates set

Government Purchasing Alliance and all public agencies, non-profits and higher education entities
(“Participating Public Agencies”), having a Contract ID number of [INSERT] and the contract period is
from [INSERT] to June 30, 2016, with the option to renew for no more than six (6) years (the “Contract
Period”), one year at a time, or any combination thereof (the “Contract”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Maintenance Agreement entered into during the Contract Period shall continue in full force and effect
for the entire term set forth in the Maintenance Agreement. To the extent that Customer purchases or
leases Equipment from Ricoh under the Contract and also desires for Ricoh to provide maintenance
services for such Equipment under the order (the “Order”), then the terms and conditions of this
Maintenance Agreement shall apply. This Maintenance Agreement shall consist of the terms and
conditions of the Contract and this Maintenance Agreement. As it pertains to this Maintenance
Agreement, the order of precedence of the component parts of the Maintenance Agreement shall be as
follows: (a) the terms and conditions of this Maintenance Agreement and (b) the terms and conditions of
the Contract. The foregoing order of precedence shall govern the interpretation of this Maintenance
Agreement in cases of conflict or inconsistency therein.
1. MAINTENANCE SERVICES COVERAGE. Ricoh shall provide to Customer maintenance
services under an Order, during Ricoh business hours, 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday
excluding holidays ((i) New Year’s Day; (ii) Memorial Day; (iii) 4th of July; (iv) Labor Day; (v)
Thanksgiving; (vi) Day after Thanksgiving; and (vii) Christmas Day) (“Normal Business Hours”), as
follows (collectively, the “Maintenance Services”):
(a) During the term of the Order, Ricoh will provide the Maintenance Services necessary to keep the
covered Equipment in, or restore the covered Equipment to, good working order. Maintenance Services
will include lubrication, cleaning, adjustments and replacement of maintenance parts deemed necessary
by Ricoh due to normal usage (other than consumable parts). In the event the Equipment becomes
unserviceable as a result of normal usage, replacement parts will be furnished and installed on an
exchange basis and will be new OEM; provided, however, if such OEM part is not available and in order
to restore the functionality of the Equipment, Ricoh shall be permitted to use a reconditioned or used part
until such time as the new OEM part becomes available and is installed in the Equipment. All parts
removed due to replacement will become the property of Ricoh. The provision of Maintenance Services
does not assure uninterrupted operation of the covered Equipment.
(b) If available, Maintenance Services requested and performed outside Normal Business Hours will
be charged to Customer at applicable time and material rates set forth in the Contract.
(c) The Maintenance Services provided by Ricoh will not include the following: (i) Repairs resulting
from misuse (including without limitation to improper voltage or the use of supplies that do not conform
to Ricoh's specifications); (ii) Repairs made necessary by service performed by persons other than
authorized Ricoh representatives; (iii) Replacement of consumable parts which are consumed in normal
Equipment operation, unless specifically included in the Order; (iv) Removable cassette, copy cabinet,
exit trays, or any item not related to the mechanical or electrical operation of the Equipment: (v) Unless
otherwise agreed, consumable supplies such as toner, developer, paper, staples or supplies that are
consumed in the normal operation of the Equipment; (vi) Repairs and/or service calls resulting from
attachments or accessories not acquired from Ricoh; (vii) Any Software, system support or related
connectivity unless otherwise agreed in the Order; (viii) Electrical work external to the Equipment,
including problems resulting from overloaded or improper circuits; (ix) Charges for installation of the
2
Equipment or de-installation and/or movement of the Equipment from one location to another; or (x)
Repair of damage or increase in service time caused by: accident, disaster (which shall include but not be
limited to fire, flood, water, wind and lightning), transportation, neglect, power transients, abuse or
misuse, failure of the Customer to follow Ricoh's published operating instructions, and unauthorized
modifications or repair of Equipment by persons other than authorized representatives of Ricoh.
(d) In the absence of a separate maintenance agreement for any software, if Ricoh is engaged to
provide software support under an Order, during Normal Business Hours, Ricoh will provide advice by
telephone, email or via the Ricoh or developer’s website following receipt of a request from Customer to
diagnose faults in the software and advice to rectify such faults. Such support may be provided remotely.
(e) Damage to the Equipment or its parts arising out of, or other causes beyond, the control of Ricoh
are not covered by this Maintenance Agreement and may subject Customer to a surcharge or to
cancellation of the Maintenance Services by Ricoh. In addition, Ricoh may terminate this Maintenance
Agreement if the Equipment is modified, damaged, altered or serviced by personnel other than those
employed by Ricoh or are authorized by Ricoh to provide service and maintenance for the Equipment.
(f) Service necessitated as a result of inadequate key operator involvement, operator caused damage,
lack of recommended service, or use of inadequate or incompatible supplies may result in service being
rendered on a time-and-material basis in addition to the Maintenance Charges (as defined in Section 5).
2. MAINTENANCE SERVICE CALLS. Maintenance service calls under this Maintenance
Agreement will be made during Normal Business Hours at the installation address shown on the Order.
Travel and labor-time for the service calls after Normal Business Hours, on weekends and on holidays, if
and when available, will be charged at overtime rates in effect at the time the service call is made. Ricoh
representatives will not handle, disconnect or repair unauthorized attachments or components. Customer
is responsible for disconnecting and re-connecting unauthorized attachments or components. Customer
hereby indemnifies and holds Ricoh and its employees and representatives harmless for claims for
damages to any unauthorized parts, components or accessories resulting from service performed on
Equipment covered by this Maintenance Agreement.
3. RECONDITIONING. Rebuilding, reconditioning or major overhauls necessitated by usage not in
accordance with manufacturer’s published specifications, which shall be provided upon Customer’s
request, are not covered by this Maintenance Agreement. In addition, if Ricoh determines that a
reconditioning is necessary as a result of normal wear and tear of materials and age factors caused by
normal usage in order to keep the Equipment in working condition, Ricoh will submit to Customer an
estimate of the needed repairs and the cost for such repairs (which costs will be in addition to the charges
payable under this Maintenance Agreement). If the Customer does not authorize such reconditioning,
Ricoh may, at its option: (a) discontinue service of the Equipment under this Maintenance Agreement and
refund any unused portion of the Maintenance Charges, or (b) refuse to renew this Maintenance
Agreement upon its expiration. After any such termination, Ricoh will make service available on a “Time
and Material Rate” basis at Ricohs then prevailing rates at the time of service.
4. TERM. This Maintenance Agreement shall become effective on the delivery and Customer
acceptance of the Equipment and/or solution and shall continue for the term specified therein (the “Initial
Term”) so long as no ongoing default exists on Customer’s part. At the expiration of the Initial Term or
any renewal term, unless Customer provides written notice of its intention not to renew within thirty (30)
days of the expiration of the Initial Term or any renewal term, this Maintenance Agreement shall
automatically renew on a month-to-month basis. In addition to any other rights or remedies which either
party may have under this Maintenance Agreement or at law or equity, either party shall have the right to
cancel the Services provided under this Maintenance Agreement immediately: (i) if the other party fails to
pay any fees or charges or any other payments required under this Maintenance Agreement when due and
payable, and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after being notified in writing of such
failure; or (ii) if the other party fails to perform or observe any other material covenant or condition of
this Maintenance Agreement, and such failure or breach shall continue un-remedied for a period of thirty
(30) days after such party is notified in writing of such failure or breach.
5. MAINTENANCE CHARGES.
3
(a) Maintenance service charges (“Maintenance Charges”) will be payable by the Customer in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Order. Except as expressly set forth in writing, Ricoh may
increase Maintenance Charges on an annual basis by an amount not to exceed the year-to-year increase in
the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average, for All Items as published by the
Department of Labor.
(b) Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the transfer of the Equipment from the location
indicated on the face hereof may result in an increase of Maintenance Charges or the termination of this
Maintenance Agreement; (ii) if this Maintenance Agreement includes toner, toner usage is based on
manufacturer supply consumption rates. Ricoh will determine and deliver supplies in accordance with
agreed upon usage. Consumption of covered supply products varying significantly from expected usage
may result in additional charges for supplies, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties. Maintenance
Charges are based on standard 8.5x11 images. Ricoh reserves the right to assess additional images
charges for non-standard images, including 11x17 images.
6. USE OF RICOH RECOMMENDED SUPPLIES. Ricoh products are designed to give excellent
performance with Ricoh recommended supplies, including paper, developer, toner, and fuser oil. If the
Customer uses other than Ricoh recommended supplies, and if such supplies are defective or not
acceptable for use with the Equipment and cause abnormally frequent service calls or service problems,
then Ricoh may, at its option, assess a surcharge or terminate this Maintenance Agreement. If so
terminated, Customer will be offered service on a time and materials basis at Ricohs then prevailing
rates. It is not a condition of this Maintenance Agreement that the Customer use only Ricoh brand
supplies.
7. METER READINGS. As part of its Services, Ricoh may, at its discretion and dependent upon
device capabilities, provide remote meter reading and equipment monitoring services using its @Remote
solution. If @Remote is not selected by the Customer, Customer shall be responsible and agrees to
provide Ricoh true and accurate meter readings monthly and in any reasonable manner requested by
Ricoh. If accurate meter readings are not provided, Ricoh reserves the right to estimate the meter readings
from previous meter readings.
8. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS. Customer agrees to provide a proper place for the use of the
Equipment, including electric service as specified by the manufacturer. Customer will provide adequate
facilities (at no charge) for use by Ricoh representatives in connection with the maintenance of the
Equipment hereunder within a reasonable distance of the Equipment. Customer agrees to provide “360
degree” service access to the Equipment, subject to Customer’s usual security procedures. Customer will
provide a key operator for the Equipment and will make operators available for instruction in use and care
of the Equipment. All supplies for use with the Equipment will be provided by the Customer and will
meet manufacturer specifications. It is the responsibility of the Customer to have the supplies available
“on site” for servicing. Customer agrees that any systems utilizing similar supplies must be covered under
similar inclusive maintenance programs.
9. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. OTHER THAN THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH EXPRESSLY
IN THIS MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, RICOH DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR
USE, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. RICOH SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT
OR THE LOSS OF USE OF THE EQUIPMENT. RICOH’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO
CUSTOMER UNDER THE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, IF ANY, SHALL IN NO EVENT
EXCEED THE TOTAL OF THE FEES PAID TO RICOH IN CONNECTION WITH THE
MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
10. SERVICE LEVELS.
(a) Response Time. Ricoh will provide a one hour (1) phone response to service calls measured from
receipt of the Customer’s call. Ricoh service technicians will meet a four (4) business hour response time
for all Customer service calls located within a major metropolitan area and eight (8) hour average
4
response time for all Customer service calls located fifty (50) miles or greater from a Ricoh service
center. Response time is measured in aggregate for all Equipment covered by the Order.
(b) Uptime. Ricoh will service the Equipment provided under an Order to be operational with a
quarterly uptime average of 95% (based on manufacturer’s performance standards and an 8-hour day,
during Normal Business Hours), excluding preventative and interim maintenance time. Downtime will
begin at the time Customer places a service call to Ricoh. Customer agrees to make the Equipment
available to Ricoh for scheduled preventative and interim maintenance. Customer further agrees to give
Ricoh advance notice of any critical and specific uptime needs Customer may have so that Ricoh can
schedule with Customer interim and preventative maintenance in advance of such needs.
(c) Replacement of Equipment. Should a unit of Equipment or an accessory not be able to be
maintained in conformance with manufacturer’s specifications, Ricoh shall, at its own expense, replace
such Equipment with another unit of the same product designation as that Equipment and Ricoh shall bear
all installation, transportation, removal and rigging charges in connection with the installation of such
replacement unit; provided, however that (a) the replacement unit may be a reconditioned or otherwise
used unit rather than a new unit; and (b) if a replacement unit of the same product designation as the unit
of Equipment it replaces is not available, the replacement unit may be a product of substantially similar or
greater capabilities.
11. DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The parties acknowledge and agree that Ricoh shall have
no obligation to remove, delete, preserve, maintain or otherwise safeguard any information, images or
content retained by or resident in any Equipment serviced and maintained by Ricoh, whether through a
digital storage device, hard drive or other electronic medium (“Data Management Services”). If desired,
Customer may engage Ricoh to perform Data Management Services at then-prevailing Contract rates.
Customer acknowledges that Customer is responsible for ensuring its own compliance with legal
requirements in connection with data retention and protection and that Ricoh does not provide legal advice or
represent that the Equipment and Services will guarantee compliance with such requirements. The selection,
use and design of any Data Management Services, and any decisions arising with respect to the deletion or
storage of data, as well as the loss of any data resulting therefrom, shall be the sole and exclusive
responsibility of Customer. If desired, Customer may engage Ricoh to perform the following Data
Management Services, and the parties shall enter into a written work order setting the details of any such
engagement:
Hard Drive Surrender Service. Under this option, a Ricoh service technician can remove the hard
drive from the applicable equipment (set forth on a work order) and provide Customer with custody of
the hard drive before the equipment is removed from the Customer’s location, moved to another
department or any other disposition of the equipment. The cost for the Hard Drive Surrender Services
shall be as set forth in the Contract.
DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS). DOSS is a Ricoh product designed to overwrite the sector of
the hard drive used for data processing to prevent recovery. Additionally, DOSS also offers the option
of overwriting the entire hard drive up to nine (9) times.
12. PURCHASES OF EQUIPMENT FOR CASH. In the event that Customer desires to purchase
equipment or products from Ricoh from time to time, it may do so by issuing a Purchase Order/Sales Order
to Ricoh for that purpose. In connection with any equipment purchase from Ricoh, Ricoh shall transfer to
Customer any equipment warranties made by the equipment manufacturer, to the extent transferable and
without recourse. Customer agrees to confirm delivery and acceptance of all equipment purchased under this
Agreement within ten (10) business days after any equipment is delivered and installed (if installation has
been agreed to by the parties) by signing a delivery and acceptance certificate (in a form to be provided by
Ricoh) or written delivery acknowledgement. Ricoh reserves the right to make equipment deliveries in
installments. All claims for damaged equipment shall be deemed waived unless made in writing, delivered
to Ricoh within ten (10) business days after delivery of equipment to Customer; provided, however, Ricoh
shall not be responsible for damage to equipment caused by the Customer, its employees, agents or
contractors. Ricoh warrants to Customer that at the time of delivery and for a period of ninety (90) days
5
thereafter the Ricoh-manufactured equipment will be free from any defects in material and workmanship;
provided, however, the foregoing warranty shall not apply in the event (i) the Ricoh-manufactured
equipment is installed, wired, modified, altered, moved or serviced by anyone other than Ricoh, (ii) the
Ricoh-manufactured equipment is installed, stored and utilized and/or maintained in a manner not consistent
with Ricoh specifications, (iii) a defective or improper non-Ricoh accessory or supply or part is attached to
or used in the Ricoh-manufactured equipment. Except to the extent of any applicable and validated
exemption, Customer agrees to pay any applicable taxes that are levied on or payable as a result of the use,
sale, possession or ownership of the equipment purchased hereunder, other than income taxes of Ricoh.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Maintenance Agreement as of the date first
written above.

follows: (a) the terms and conditions of this SOW, and (b) the terms and conditions of the Contract. The foregoing order of
precedence shall govern the interpretation of this SOW in cases of conflict or inconsistency therein.

insurance will remain in effect during the term of this SOW. Upon request, each party agrees to deliver the other
evidence of such insurance coverage.

distribute (within Customer’s organization only) anything developed by RICOH for Customer in connection with the
Services (“Contract Property”), unless otherwise agreed upon in this SOW. RICOH shall retain all ownership rights to
the Contract Property. For purposes of clarity this SOW and the foregoing license relates to the professional

b. Software Licenses. All RICOH and/or third party software provided by RICOH as part of or in
connection with the Services is licensed, not sold, and is subject to both the server, seat, quantity or other usage
restrictions set forth the relevant transaction documentation, and to the terms of the respective End User License

or web-based solution provided or contemplated under this SOW. Customer acknowledges and agrees that RICOH
may from time to time, in its sole discretion, engage non-U.S. subcontractors to perform any portion of the Services
on RICOH’s behalf. Customer represents and warrants to RICOH that it, its employees and agents shall not provide
RICOH with or otherwise use in connection with the Services any document, technology, software or item for which
any authorization or license is required under any Export Law. Without intending to create any limitation relating to
the survival of any other provisions of this SOW, RICOH and Customer agree that the terms of this paragraph shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this SOW. Each party shall promptly notify the other in the event of
the threat or initiation of any claim, demand, action or proceeding to which the indemnification obligations set forth
in this Section may apply.
5. Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation.
a. Confidentiality. Except for purposes of this SOW, Ricoh shall not use or disclose any proprietary or
confidential Customer data derived from the Services hereunder; provided, however, that Ricoh may use general
statistics relating to the Service engagement so long as it does not disclose the identity of Customer or make any

reference to any information from which the identity of Customer may be reasonably ascertained. The parties
acknowledge and agree that Ricoh shall have no obligation to remove, delete, preserve, maintain or otherwise
safeguard any information, images or content retained by, in or on any item of equipment serviced by Ricoh,
whether through a digital storage device, hard drive or similar electronic medium (“Data Management Services”). If
desired, Customer may engage Ricoh to perform such Data Management Services at its then-current Contract rates.
If desired, Customer may engage Ricoh to perform the following Data Management Services, and the parties shall
enter into a written work order setting the details of any such engagement:
Hard Drive Surrender Service. Under this option, a Ricoh service technician can remove the hard drive from
the applicable equipment (set forth on a work order) and provide Customer with custody of the hard drive
before the equipment is removed from the Customer’s location, moved to another department or any other
disposition of the equipment. The cost for the Hard Drive Surrender Services shall be as set forth in the
Contract.
DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS). DOSS is a Ricoh product designed to overwrite the sector of the hard
drive used for data processing to prevent recovery. Additionally, DOSS also offers the option of overwriting the
entire hard drive up to nine (9) times.
Notwithstanding anything in this SOW to the contrary, in the event that Customer engages Ricoh to perform any
Data Management Services that relate to the security or accessibility of information stored in or recoverable from
any devices provided or serviced by Ricoh, including but not limited to any hard drive removal, cleansing or
formatting services of any kind, Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) it is aware of the security
alternatives available to it, (ii) it has assessed such alternatives and exercised its own independent judgment in
selecting the Data Management Services and determined that such Data Management Services are appropriate for
its needs and compliance, (iii) Ricoh does not provide legal advice with respect to information security or represent
or warrant that its Data Management Services or products are appropriate for Customer’s needs or that such Data
Management Services will guarantee or ensure compliance with any law, regulation, policy, obligation or
requirement that may apply to or affect Customer’s business, information retention strategies and standards, or
information security requirements. Additionally, Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that, (a) Customer is
responsible for ensuring its own compliance with legal requirements pertaining to data retention and protection, (b)
it is the Customer’s sole responsibility to obtain advice of competent legal counsel as to the identification and
interpretation of any relevant laws and regulatory requirements that may affect the Customer’s business or data
retention, and any actions required to comply with such laws, and (c) the selection, use and design of any Data
Management Services, and any and all decisions arising with respect to the deletion or storage of any data, as well
as any loss, or presence, of data resulting therefrom, shall be the sole responsibility of Customer.
b. Non-Solicitation. Customer agrees that during the term of the Services and for a period of one (1)
year after termination thereof, it shall not directly or indirectly solicit, hire or otherwise retain as an employee or
independent contractor any employee of Ricoh that is or was involved with or part of the Services. The foregoing
shall not apply provided that the Customer: (a) posts the employment advertisement to the general public; and (b)
the employee or independent contractor of the other party independently finds and responds to such employment
advertisement, which in turn is the basis for the hiring.
6. General. This SOW and the Contract represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, writings, proposals, representations or communications,
oral or written, of either party. Only a Change Order in writing executed by authorized representatives of both
parties may amend this SOW. Any purchase order, service order or other Customer ordering document will not
modify or affect this SOW. All equipment is purchased or leased by Customer pursuant to a separate agreement
and are separate and independent obligations of Customer governed solely by the terms set forth in such separate
agreement. This SOW may not be transferred or assigned by Customer without the prior written consent of Ricoh.

place of business or residence is located, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The relationship of the
parties is that of independent contractors. Ricoh shall not be responsible for and shall be excused from
performance, or have reasonable additional periods of time to perform its obligations, where it is delayed or
prevented from performing any of its obligations for reasons beyond Ricoh’s reasonable control, including, without
limitation, acts of God, natural disasters, labor disputes, strikes or unavailability of services, personnel or materials.
The parties hereby acknowledge that this SOW may be executed by electronic means through the affixation of a
digital signature, or through other such similar electronic means, and any such electronic signature by either party

party.
