R-ZERO SYSTEMS

MASTER TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Master Technology and Services Agreement (this "MTSA") is entered into as of the Effective Date (as defined below) by and between R-Zero Systems, Inc. ("R-Zero") and the customer entering into an Order Form (as defined below) with R-Zero ("Customer"). WHEN CUSTOMER ENTERS INTO AN ORDER FORM OR OTHER FORM OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT WHETHER BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND R-ZERO OR CUSTOMER AND R-ZERO AUTHORIZED RESELLERS OR OTHER AUTHORIZED THIRD PARTIES, CUSTOMER IS AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THIS MTSA.

This MTSA will govern all Order Forms and is hereby incorporated by reference into all Order Forms. Additionally, R-Zero may indicate that different or additional terms, conditions, guidelines, policies, or rules apply in relation to some of the Services or Equipment (each as defined below) ("Supplemental Terms"). Any Supplemental Terms become part of Customer's agreement with R-Zero if Customer uses the applicable Services or purchases the applicable Equipment, and if there is a conflict between this MTSA and the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms will control for that conflict.

R-Zero may make changes to this MTSA. If R-Zero makes changes, R-Zero may provide Customer with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through the Services, or otherwise. Unless R-Zero says otherwise in its notice, the amended MTSA will be effective immediately, and Customer's continued use of the Services or purchase of Equipment after R-Zero provides such notice will confirm Customer's acceptance of the changes. If Customer does not agree to the amended MTSA, Customer must immediately stop using the Services and must not purchase any Equipment.

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. GENERAL

1.1 Order Forms. Customer and R-Zero may, from time to time, enter into order forms providing for the purchase of R-Zero equipment listed thereon ("Equipment") and the use of R-Zero's hosted services made available in connection with the Equipment (the "Services"). When executed, each such order form is an "Order Form."

1.2 This MTSA. This MTSA and all Order Forms are collectively referred to as this "Agreement." Capitalized terms utilized but not defined in the body of this MTSA are defined in Section 13 (Certain Defined Terms) or in the Order Form and capitalized terms utilized but not defined in the body of the Order Form are defined in this MTSA. To the extent that a conflict arises between the terms and conditions of an Order Form and the terms and conditions of this MTSA, the terms and conditions of this MTSA will govern unless the Order Form specifically states otherwise.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including payment of all Fees, R-Zero will ship the Equipment to the Customer Site or arrange for pickup of the Equipment by Customer or its designated carrier at R-Zero's or its designee's U.S. facilities (the "Pickup Address"). R-Zero fulfills its obligation to deliver the Equipment, risk of loss to the Equipment and title to the Equipment (except, for clarity, the Equipment Software and any other Technology associated with the Equipment) will pass to Customer, and delivery and acceptance of the Equipment will be deemed to have occurred on the earlier of: (a) the date R-Zero makes the Equipment available to Customer at the Customer Site and (b) the date Customer or its designated carrier takes possession of the Equipment at the Pickup Address (such date, the "Delivery Date").

(b) Installation and License. If Equipment requires installation services ("Installation Services"), Installation Services are governed by Exhibit A (the "Installation Addendum"). On installation of the Equipment, R-Zero grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive right and license to run the Equipment Software on such Equipment.

The parties acknowledge that each party may be exposed to or receive certain information that is not generally known to the public and is marked as confidential or proprietary, or which, under the circumstances ought to be treated as confidential by the receiving party ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information excludes Customer Data, which is only subject to the protections and limitations in Section 4.5 (Data Processing Addendum), if and to the extent applicable. Each party agrees that if a party is exposed to or receives the other party's Confidential Information, the receiving party: (a) will protect Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure using at least a commercially reasonable degree of care; (b) will not disclose Confidential Information to any third party (provided that R-Zero may disclose Customer's Confidential Information to any of its Affiliates or to any Service Provider bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those contained in this Section 8 (Confidentiality) as is necessary for the provision of Services); and ( c ) will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing or exercising its rights under this Agreement. Customer will not disclose the terms or conditions of this Agreement, including any Fees, to any third party.

8.3 Return. After any expiration or termination of this Agreement, upon request from the disclosing party, the receiving party will, within 30 days of such request, return or destroy (at disclosing party's reasonable direction) all materials or media containing any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, including all copies thereof, and will certify in writing to the disclosing party that all such Confidential Information has been returned or destroyed. The preceding return or destruction provision will not apply to automatic back-up copies of Customer’s Confidential Information made by R-Zero in the ordinary course of providing the Services, provided that R-Zero will remain bound by its confidentiality obligations hereunder with respect to such Confidential Information for so long as it retains such back-up copies.

8.4 Injunctive Relief. R-Zero and Customer expressly acknowledge and agree that no adequate remedy exists at law for an actual or threatened breach of this Section 8 (Confidential Information) and that in such event the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it.

8.5 Survival. The obligations set forth in this Section 8 (Confidential Information) will survive until five years from the date of the disclosure of such Confidential Information, except that the obligations set forth in this Section 8 (Confidential Information) with respect to Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret will survive indefinitely.

8.6 Feedback. Customer may from time to time voluntarily provide suggestions, enhancements, recommendations, requests for features or functionality, comments, or other feedback ("Feedback") to R-Zero regarding the System or other R-Zero Technology. Feedback, even if designated as "confidential" or "proprietary" by Customer, will not create any confidentiality or other obligation for R-Zero, and Customer hereby grants R-Zero a royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual license to copy, disclose, use, or otherwise exploit such Feedback for any purpose.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 R-Zero Indemnification. R-Zero will defend Customer against any Claim alleging that the Services, as provided to Customer, infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party and will pay all resulting damages finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed in a settlement approved by R-Zero in accordance with this Section 9 (Indemnification). R-Zero's obligations in this Section 9.1 (R-Zero Indemnification) will not apply to the extent the Claim results from or arises in connection with (a) any combination of any R-Zero Technology (or any portion thereof) with any equipment, software, data, or any other materials not provided by R-Zero, (b) any modification to any R-Zero Technology by any party other than R-Zero or its authorized personnel, ( c ) the use of any R-Zero Technology in a manner contrary to the terms of this Agreement, and/or (d) the continued use of the Services after R-Zero has provided substantially equivalent non-infringing software or services. In the event of a Claim pursuant to this Section 9.1 (R-Zero Indemnification), or if R-Zero believes that such Claim may be brought, R-Zero may, at its option and expense, (i) replace the Services with a non-infringing equivalent, (ii) modify the Services so they are non-infringing, (iii) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Services, or (iv) terminate this Agreement upon 30 days written notice to Customer. THIS SECTION 9.1 (R-ZERO INDEMNIFICATION) SETS FORTH R-ZERO'S SOLE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY, AND CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM (AS DEFINED HEREIN) ARISING FROM THE ACTUAL OR ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR OTHER VIOLATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY ANY R-ZERO TECHNOLOGY.

9.2 Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless R-Zero and its Affiliates, and its and their officers, employees, and agents harmless against any damages, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) based upon any Claim: (a) alleging that any Customer Data infringes or violates any third-party right, including but not limited to Intellectual Property Rights, right to privacy, or publicity rights; (b) arising from Customer's breach of any of its obligations under Section 3 (Customer Obligations) or Section 4.3 (Rights in Customer Data); ( c ) arising in connection with the operation or conduct of Customer's business, including any personal injury to or death of any person or persons, damage of any property, financial loss, or interruption of any services that are caused or claimed to have been caused directly or indirectly from Customer’s use, intentional misuse, or inability to use the Services or any Equipment; (d) use of any hardware, equipment, or software or other Technology not provided or approved for use with the Services or Equipment by R-Zero; or (e) arising in connection with any Warranty Exclusions.

9.3 Procedures. The indemnifying party's indemnification obligations under this Section 9 (Indemnification) are conditioned upon the indemnified party (a) giving prompt written notice of the Claim to the indemnifying party once the indemnified party becomes aware of the Claim (provided that failure to provide prompt written notice to the indemnifying party will not alleviate an indemnifying party's obligations under this Section 9 (Indemnification) to the extent any associated delay does not materially prejudice or impair the defense of the related Claims), (b) granting the indemnifying party the option to take sole control of the defense (including granting the indemnifying party the right to select and use counsel of its own choosing) and settlement of the Claim (except that the indemnified party's prior written approval will be required for any settlement that reasonably can be expected to require an affirmative obligation of the indemnified party), and ( c ) providing reasonable cooperation to the indemnifying party, and at the indemnifying party's request and expense, assistance in the defense or settlement of the Claim.

10. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

10.1 Limited Warranty.

(a) Equipment Subject to an Initial Term: For the duration of the applicable Initial Term, R-Zero warrants to Customer that the Equipment will conform in all material respects to its then-current Documentation (the "Limited Warranty"). The Limited Warranty applies only to Customer as the original recipient of the Equipment and is void to the extent that any failure of the Equipment results from any Warranty Exclusion.

(b) Equipment Not Subject to an Initial Term: For Equipment that is not subject to an Initial Term, R-Zero warrants to Customer that the Equipment will conform in all material respects to its then-current Documentation for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of shipment (also referred to as the "Limited Warranty"). This Limited Warranty excludes replacement filters required in the normal operation of the Equipment.

( c ) Where the Equipment is purchased by a Reseller who takes title to the Equipment upon shipment and subsequently transfers title to a contractor or other intermediary, who in turn transfers title to the intended end user, the Limited Warranty may transfer to the end user, provided that: (i) The Equipment is installed at the end user's location in accordance with R-Zero's then-current Documentation and installation guidelines; (ii) The Reseller, contractor, or intermediary provides the end user with a copy of the Limited Warranty and ensures that the end user is aware of and agrees to comply with its terms; (iii) The Equipment has been used, maintained, and operated in accordance with R-Zero's then-current Documentation; and (iv) Any claims under the Limited Warranty are submitted directly by the end user or through the Reseller, contractor, or intermediary, as applicable, within the warranty period. The Limited Warranty shall not extend beyond the original warranty period of eighteen (18) months from the date of shipment, regardless of any transfer of title or ownership.

10.2 Remedies.

(a) For Equipment Subject to an Initial Term: If R-Zero verifies that any Equipment does not meet the Limited Warranty during the Initial Term, R-Zero's sole obligation and liability, and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, will be for R-Zero to use commercially reasonable efforts to adjust, repair, or replace such Equipment. Customer must follow all R-Zero warranty verification procedures and provide all necessary cooperation to R-Zero in connection with evaluating the warranty claim.

(b) For Equipment Not Subject to an Initial Term: If R-Zero verifies that any Equipment not subject to an Initial Term does not meet the Limited Warranty within the applicable warranty period, R-Zero's sole obligation and liability, and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, will be for R-Zero to use commercially reasonable efforts to adjust, repair, or replace such Equipment, excluding replacement filters required in the normal operation of the Equipment. Customer must follow all R-Zero warranty verification procedures and provide all necessary cooperation to R-Zero in connection with evaluating the warranty claim.

10.3 Additional Warranties. R-Zero may from time to time offer Customer additional warranties that apply to the Equipment and exceed the Limited Warranty (each, an "Additional Warranty"). To the extent (a) R-Zero offers, and Customer accepts, an Additional Warranty and (b) such Additional Warranty conflicts with the Limited Warranty, then the Additional Warranty will control solely to the extent the conflict.

10.4 Disclaimer of Warranty.

12.4 Waiver. Either party's delay or failure to exercise any right under this Agreement or any law does not mean a party waives that right or any other rights under this Agreement in the future. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any rights or obligations of either party under this Agreement, will be effective except (a) pursuant to a written instrument signed by the party against whom the waiver is sought or (b) to the extent such waiver is effectuated by virtue of R-Zero's exercise of its rights in the third introductory paragraph of this MTSA.

12.8 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

Each party expressly consents to personal jurisdiction in any such court and hereby irrevocably waives any objection to or claim of lack of jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.
