NOW, THEREFORE, In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises made by the parties to this
Software Development Agreement, the Developer and the Client (individually, each a “Party” and collectively,
the “Parties”) covenant and agree as follows:

the terms herein and failure to cure such a breach within 20 days of notification of such a breach.
5. The Developer shall provide to the Client after the Delivery Date, a cumulative 2 days of training with
respect to the operation of the Software if requested by the Client.
2. Delivery

The Software shall function in accordance with the Specifications on or before the Delivery Date.

1. If the Software as delivered does not conform with the Specifications, the Client shall within 30 days of
the Delivery Date notify the Developer in writing of the ways in which it does not conform with the
Specifications. The Developer agrees that upon receiving such notice, it shall make reasonable efforts
to correct any non-conformity.

2. The Client shall provide to the Developer written notice of its finding that the Software conforms to the

efforts to implement the requested change at no additional expense to the Client and without delaying delivery
of the Software.
In the event that the proposed change will, in the sole discretion of the Developer, require a delay in the
delivery of the Software or would result in additional expense to the Client, then the Client and the Developer
shall confer and the Client may either withdraw the proposed change or require the Developer to deliver the
Software with the proposed change and subject to the delay and/or additional expense. The Client agrees and
acknowledges that the judgment as to if there will be any delay or additional expense shall be made solely by
