1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

 

2. Term/Upon Termination. The Formal Notice of Termination sent by CSI to PALA dated August 24, 2016, is hereby revoked by the Parties, and Section 8.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

"8.1 This Agreement shall expire two (2) years after the Effective Date of this Amendment Five. Upon expiration of the Term, CSI may request extension of the Term for an additional two (2) years upon the same terms of this Agreement by serving written notice to PALA at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-existing Term. Such extension will require mutual agreement of the Parties. Upon expiration or any earlier termination of this Agreement, upon CSI's election, PALA shall deliver or cause to be delivered to CSI the Source Code and Additional Codes as described in Section 6 of this Agreement."

 

3. Compensation/Freemium. Section 2.2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

For purposes of this Agreement, "Maintenance" shall mean services necessary to keep the current Product functioning based on the Product's agreed-upon scope of work, including bug fixes, minor modifications and minor enhancements to improve the Product as agreed by the Parties in good faith, but shall not include any new major features as set forth in Section 2.3. For purposes of this Agreement, "Reporting Support" shall mean producing and supporting the production of reports as requested by CSI. This Section 2.2 does not constitute a warranty that the Product will function without additional costs beyond Maintenance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the warranties under this Agreement are exclusively set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement."

PALA shall assist CSI with migration efforts by providing reasonable transferring services and migration support services in association with the termination ("Termination Migration Services") according to the agreed timetable; provided however, PALA's Termination Migration Services will be limited to 500 man hours, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
