4. Term and Termination
4.1. Term and Renewal. This Agreement is effective on the Effective Date (which date is set forth at the beginning of this Agreement) and continues in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. The Service will be provided to Customer on a month-to-month subscription basis as set forth in the Customer’s Order Form (each, a “Subscription Term”). The initial Subscription Term will commence on the Subscription Term Commencement Date set forth in the Customer’s Order Form. Each Subscription Term will automatically renew on the last day of the Subscription Term for successive additional periods of one (1) month (each such period a “Renewal Term”) unless and until this Agreement or the applicable Order Form is terminated by either Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or either Party provides the other Party with notice of nonrenewal or cancellation of this Agreement.

4.2. Termination. Customer may terminate or cancel its subscription to the Services at any time by contacting Ascent Dealer Services. Ascent Dealer Services will attempt to process all
termination and cancellation requests within 72 hours after receiving such request. For monthly subscriptions, to avoid a charge for the following month, Customer agrees that a termination or
cancellation request, or a notice of non-renewal, must be made at least three (3) days prior to the expiration of the Subscription Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable. Ascent Dealer Services will not offer partial month refunds in the event that Customer terminates or cancels its Service subscription in the middle of a Subscription Term or Renewal Term, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3. For example, if Customer pays the monthly Subscription Fee for the March term on March 1st, but Customer decides to terminate or cancel this Agreement and Service subscription on March 15 th , Customer will not receive a partial refund of the Subscription Fee for the month of March, and Customer will maintain access to the Platform and Services through the end of March. In such example, the expiration date of the Subscription Term or Renewal Term, and the effective termination date of this Agreement and Services would be March 31st, and Customer will no longer have access to the Platform of Services beginning on April 1st.

5
4.3. Effect of Termination. Upon cancellation or termination of Customer’s subscription, Customer will cease access to and use of the Service (including any and all related Ascent Dealer Services Technology) and delete (or, at Ascent Dealer Services’ request, return) any other Ascent Dealer Services Confidential Information (as defined and set forth in Section 9.1). Except for termination for Ascent Dealer Services’ uncured breach, or as set forth in Section 6.1 (Limited Warranty) or Section 10 (IP Indemnification), upon termination of this Agreement for any other reason by Customer or Ascent Dealer Services, Customer will not be entitled to receive a refund of any of the fees paid in accordance with this Agreement. Following termination, Ascent Dealer Services may deactivate Customer’s account and Credentials and delete any data of Customer stored by Ascent Dealer Services. Except where an exclusive remedy is specified, the exercise of either Party of any remedy under this Agreement, including termination, will be without prejudice to any other contractual, legal, or other remedies. The Parties agree that neither Party shall make any disparaging remarks about the other Party in the event this Agreement is terminated.

4.4. Survival. Sections 3.4 (General Restrictions), 8 (Ascent Dealer Services Technology), 5.1 (Fees and Payment), 4.3 (Effect of Termination), 4.4 (Survival), 6.3 (Warranty Disclaimer), 7 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 9 (Confidential Information), 11 (Governing
Law, Arbitration Clause and Delegation Clause, Dispute Resolution), and 12 (General Terms) will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

5. Fees and Payment
5.1. Fees and Payment. Customer agrees to pay Ascent Dealer Services a monthly “Subscription Fee” for the Services provided to Customer. The monthly Subscription Fee for the initial Subscription Term and each Renewal Term is set forth in the Customer’s Order Form. The first monthly Subscription Fee for the initial Subscription Term will be billed and due on the Subscription Term Commencement Date set forth in the Customer’s Order Form, payable in
U.S. dollars via ACH payment (details are set forth in the Customer’s Order Form) within forty-eight (48) hours of the Subscription Term Commencement Date. Following the initial Subscription Term, the monthly Subscription Fee for each Renewal Term will be billed and due on the first (1 st ) day of the month for that Renewal Term and on the first (1st) day of the month for each Renewal Term thereafter, payable in U.S. dollars via ACH payment (details are set forth in the Customer’s Order Form) within forty-eight (48) hours of the first (1 st ) day of the then-current Renewal Term. If Ascent Dealer Services does not receive payment of the monthly Subscription Fee within forty-eight (48) hours of the date payment is due, Ascent Dealer Services may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend the Services provided to Customer under this Agreement. Any such suspension or termination of the Service will not operate to limit any of Ascent Dealer Services’ rights under applicable law or this Agreement including the right to take any legal action necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all fees are non-refundable and non-creditable. Fees are exclusive of, and Customer is required to pay, all sales, use, GST, value-added, withholding or similar taxes or levies, whether domestic or foreign, that are applicable to or result from Customer’s purchase or use of the Service, other than taxes based on Ascent Dealer Services’ net income.

5.2. Fee Increases. Ascent Dealer Services shall have the right to increase the Subscription Fee for its Services in its sole discretion by providing Customer at least thirty (30) days prior written notice in accordance with this Agreement.

Dealer Services’ option and expense, correct or provide a workaround for the reported non-conformity, or if Ascent Dealer Services cannot do so, then Ascent Dealer Services will terminate the Subscription Term and refund any prepaid (prorated) fees to Customer. This
limited warranty and remedies do not apply if: (i) Customer makes a claim after the Warranty Period, or (ii) the error was caused by misuse, modifications to the Service or Ascent Dealer Services Technology other than by Ascent Dealer Services or its agents, or third-party hardware, software or services.

Agreement is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Ascent Dealer Services, enforceable against Ascent Dealer Services in accordance with its terms; or (d) Ascent Dealer Services uses
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service, Platform, and any media upon which any of the foregoing is delivered, will not contain any virus, trap door, worm or any other device that is injurious or damaging to any hardware or software, or Customer systems.

AND MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, COMPATABILITY, SECURITY, ACCURACY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

CONTRACTORS, OR REPRESENTATIVES, OR OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE OR PLATFORM, SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT.

7. Limitation of Liability
7.1. Consequential Damages Waiver. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, COSTS OF DELAY OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING ANY FORM OF NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

7.2. Liability Cap. EACH PARTY’S ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER FOR
THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM OR THE THEN-CURRENT RENEWAL TERM, AS
APPLICABLE.

Discloser’s confidential information (“Confidential Information”). Any Ascent Dealer Services Technology and performance information relating to the Platform and Service are Ascent Dealer
Services’ Confidential Information. This Agreement is each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as expressly authorized herein, Recipient will hold in confidence and not use or disclose
any Confidential Information to any third party except for its employees and contractors who need to know such information in connection with their performance of services for Recipient,

If any portion of the Platform or Services becomes, or in Ascent Dealer Services’ opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, Ascent Dealer
Services may, at Ascent Dealer Services’ option: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Platform and/or Service; (b) substitute substantially a functionally similar Platform and/or Service; (c) replace the infringing Platform and/or Services (or any infringing portion thereof) with a non-infringing Platform and/or Service which does not materially impair the functionality of the Platform or Services; (d) modify the Platform and/or Services so that the Platform and/or Services are no longer infringing or misappropriating; or (e) terminate this Agreement and applicable Order Form and refund to Customer any portion of the Subscription
Fee for the remainder of the Subscription Term then in effect that Customer prepaid, and upon such termination, Customer agrees to immediately cease all use of the Ascent Dealer Services

10.2. Indemnification by Customer. Customer agrees to defend, at its expense, any third-party suit brought against Ascent Dealer Services, and will pay any settlement Customer makes or

breach of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) Customer’s violation of any rights, including intellectual property and/or proprietary rights) of a third party through Customer’s use of the Services and/or Platform; or (iii) injury or death of any individual, or any loss or damage to real or tangible personal property, caused by an act or omission of Customer.

10.3. Procedure. The indemnifying Party’s obligations as set forth above are expressly conditioned upon each of the following: (a) the indemnified Party promptly notifying the

10
indemnifying Party in writing of any threatened or actual claim or suit (provided that a Party may not settle or defend a claim unless it unconditionally releases the other Party of all liability
to any third party); (b) the indemnifying Party having sole control of the defense or settlement of any claim or suit; and (c) the indemnified Party cooperating with the indemnifying Party to facilitate the settlement or defense of any claim or suit at the indemnifying Party’s cost.

DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

11.3. Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief. Subject to and without waiver of the Arbitration Clause and Delegation Clause provision set forth in Section 11.2 above, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude a Party from seeking a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction against the other Party for any misuse or misappropriation of a Party’s intellectual property rights or Confidential Information, or to prevent irreparable harm in which equitable relief is appropriate.

11.4. Jurisdiction and Venue. The Parties agree that the Third Judicial Circuit Court for Madison County, Illinois shall be the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all legal proceedings seeking a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief that are not subject to arbitration under this Agreement.
