MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT
(Professional Services, BRITEPROTECT, BRITESTAR)
This Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) is effective as of the 5th day of November, 2021 (the “Effective Date”)
between Upstate Wholesale Supply Company, Inc. D/B/A Brite ("Brite"), a New York corporation having a principal
place of business at 7647 Main Street, Victor, NY 14564, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and the City of Bozeman,
Montana (“Customer”), a self-governing municipal corporation organized and existing under its Charter and the laws
of the State of Montana, with a mailing address of PO Box 1230, Bozeman, MT 59771, on behalf of itself, its
subsidiaries, and affiliates. Brite and Customer are individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the
“Parties”.
1. SERVICES/STATEMENTS OF WORK. Brite shall provide Customer with certain professional services,
managed IT services and/or managed security services (the “Work”) as specified on each executed Statement of
Work. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this MSA and each executed Statement of Work, Brite shall
perform and deliver the Work, and Customer shall accept and pay for the Work as described in each executed
Statement of Work. Each Statement of Work shall be signed by the authorized signatory of each Party. Each
Statement of Work shall be referenced by date and shall be deemed to be incorporated into this MSA. In the event of
a conflict between the terms of this MSA and any Statement of Work entered into after the Effective Date of this
MSA, the terms of the Statement of Work shall govern.
2. TERM. This MSA shall be effective the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein,
this MSA shall continue for five (5) years (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this MSA shall
continue a month to month basis (the “Renewal Term” and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”), terminable
by either Party on thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party. This MSA shall continue to apply to any
Statement of Work in effect beyond the expiration of this MSA.
3. CHARGES. Brite shall submit to Customer periodic invoices for the Work rendered. Unless contrary
payment terms are specified in the applicable Statement of Work, (i) monthly recurring charges for subscription
services shall be billed in advance of the service period and non-recurring charges shall be billed in arrears; and (ii)
the entire amount of such invoices shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the invoice date (the “Due Date”). A
late charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law shall be
paid on any invoice past due until such delinquent invoice is paid. All invoices and payments shall be in U.S. dollars.
If amounts due under the Invoice are not paid by the Due Date, Brite may, at its option, upon ten (10) days written
notice, immediately suspend all Work under all Statement(s) of Work until payment is received in full (including
without limitation suspension of access to any Licensed Software) and/or, upon thirty (30) days written notice,
terminate all Statement(s) of Work for breach. Customer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to notify Brite
of any objection within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date, identifying the reasons there for in writing and
timely paying that portion of the invoice not in dispute. Invoices will be considered acceptable to Customer if no such
objections are made with 180 days of the invoice date. The rates for Work do not include any federal, state, county,
local, or other taxes howsoever designated and whether levied or based upon such charges, this MSA, or any other
service supplied hereunder (“Taxes”).
Unless otherwise specified in a Statement of Work, Customer shall reimburse Brite for all reasonable travel and living
expenses incurred by Brite in the course of performing any Work under this MSA, in accordance with the Customer’s
travel policies which the Customer shall provide to Brite prior to the commencement of any Work. Customer shall
reimburse Brite for all pre-approved third party charges for software, hardware or other materials procured by Brite
for Customer, which equipment shall, upon payment for the same to Brite, becomes the property of the Customer.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY
A. During the Term of this MSA and anytime thereafter, the receiving Party (“Recipient”) shall not, without the
prior written consent of the disclosing Party (“Disclosing Party”), use, exploit, reveal or disclose any
information that which the Disclosing Party designates as being confidential or which, under the
circumstances surrounding disclosure, the Recipient knows or has reason to know should be treated as
confidential, including but not limited to financial or customer data, the processing system, programs, files,
specifications, drawings, sketches, models, samples, tools or other data, oral, written or otherwise or any
information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business, customers or confidential affairs of the Disclosing
DocuSign Envelope ID: 76B91C14-DFD3-4116-BD57-DEB0B1A0A05D
BRITE 2021 CONFIDENTIAL
2
Party (“Information”); provided that (i) the Information may be disclosed to such of Recipient’s or
Recipient’s affiliate companies’ employees and contractors who have a need to know for the purpose of
fulfilling Recipient’s obligations under this MSA, and (ii) this MSA and the Information may be disclosed
to either of the Party’s respective outside auditors, financial advisors, lenders, attorneys or professional
advisors on a need to know basis with respect to any financing, audit or other engagement of such Party’s
professional advisors. Recipient shall advise any such individuals that the Information is confidential and
that by receiving such information such individuals are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Section 4
(“Confidentiality”) and are agreeing not to use such information for any purpose other than described herein.
Without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, Recipient shall not, and shall direct such individuals
not to, disclose the Information in whole or in part, except to the extent compelled by law.
B. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not apply to information of the Disclosing Party which: (i) is or
becomes through no fault of the Recipient part of the public domain; (ii) was already known to the Recipient
at the time of disclosure as evidenced by written documents; (iii) was independently developed by the
Recipient without reference to or use of information received from the Disclosing Party; or (iv) is rightfully
obtained by the Recipient from a third party outside of this MSA. The Recipient acknowledges that all
information of the Disclosing Party shall be and remain the property of the Disclosing Party. The Recipient
shall return to the Disclosing Party all documents received from the Disclosing Party promptly after a request
by the Disclosing Party.
C. The Recipient shall protect the information of the Disclosing Party with the same degree of care as the
Recipient employs for the protection of the Recipient's own trade secrets and confidential information (but
in no event shall such care be less than that which is commercially reasonable). In furtherance thereof, the
Recipient shall establish and maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical
safeguards to protect against the unauthorized access, use or disclosure of the other Party’s Information.
Each Party agrees to promptly notify the other Party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Information
and to provide assistance to such other Party, and its licensors, in the investigation and prosecution of such
unauthorized use and disclosure.
D. It is further understood and agreed that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of
Recipient’s obligations under this Section 4 (“Confidentiality”) by Recipient, or any employees, contractors
or advisors under Recipient’s supervision and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek specific
injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive
remedy for the breach of obligations under this Section 4 (“Confidentiality”) but shall be in addition to all
other available legal or equitable remedies.
E. If the Parties have previously executed a Nondisclosure Agreement then the terms and conditions of such
Nondisclosure Agreement are hereby incorporated into this MSA by reference. To the extent that there is a
conflict between the terms and conditions of this MSA and such Nondisclosure Agreement, the more
restrictive terms and conditions shall apply.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Neither Customer nor Brite shall be liable to the other Party or to any
third party for any lost profits; any loss of business; any cost of replacement services; or any indirect, consequential,
incidental, or special losses or damages of any kind or nature whatsoever, howsoever caused, including without
limitation loss of equipment, or software. The Parties agree that the terms in this Limitation of Liability section
represent a reasonable allocation of risk given the nature of the Work to be provided hereunder. The sole and exclusive
remedy of Brite and of Customer for any claim, loss, or damages in any way related to, or arising out of, this MSA or
any Work provided or anticipated to be provided hereunder shall be limited to such Party's actual, direct damages.
The limitations expressed in this section shall not preclude either Party from seeking injunctive relief.
6. WARRANTY. Brite represents and warrants to Customer that it shall perform the Work using personnel of
required skill, experience and qualifications and in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with
generally recognized industry standards for similar services and shall devote adequate resources to meet its obligations
under this MSA. Nothing in this MSA (including any Statement of Work) or any materials provided to Customer by
Brite in connection with the Work shall be construed as a promise or guarantee as to the outcome of the Work. Brite
DocuSign Envelope ID: 76B91C14-DFD3-4116-BD57-DEB0B1A0A05D
BRITE 2021 CONFIDENTIAL
3
makes no warranties for any third-party equipment, software and the like furnished by Brite and such warranties shall
be limited to those warranties provided by the third-party equipment manufacturers and the software licensors.
EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 6, BRITE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE WORK AND EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT (WHETHER OR NOT BRITE KNOWS, HAS REASON TO KNOW, HAS BEEN
ADVISED, OR IS OTHERWISE IN FACT AWARE OF ANY SUCH PURPOSE), WHETHER ALLEGED TO
ARISE BY LAW, BY REASON OF CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE, OR BY COURSE OF DEALING.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Each Party is responsible for ensuring that all materials and information
provided to the other Party to be used in connection with the Work under this MSA, and the Work provided under this
MSA, shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Work is provided
hereunder. Each Party will be responsible for compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations involving, but not
limited to, employment of labor, hours of labor, working conditions, payment of wages, and payment of taxes, such
as unemployment, Social Security, and other payroll taxes, including applicable contributions from such persons when
required by law. In accordance with data privacy laws and regulations applicable to this MSA, which may include,
but not be limited to, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (“HIPAA”), Brite shall not disclose or permit access to or use the non-public personal information of Customer
or its customers made available by Customer to Brite for any purposes other than those specifically required to fulfill
Brite’s contractual obligations with Customer. Further Brite represents that it shall lawfully protect data considered
confidential criminal justice information under applicable law. Brite represents it will store all data in the United
States.
8. INDEMNIFICATION. Brite shall release, indemnify and hold harmless, and defend Customer and its
respective employees, officers, and directors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, actions,
proceedings (whether legal or administrative), demands, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys' fees) threatened, asserted or filed by a third party against Customer (the “Claims”), but only to the extent
that such Claims (i) result from or in any way related to the negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of Brite, its
employees, subcontractors, agents, and/or those that it is legally liable for in connection to the Work; (ii) relate to any
personal injury or damage to property resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Brite, its employees,
subcontractors, agents and/or those that it is legally liable for in connection with the Work; or (iii) are based upon any
claim that any materials supplied by Brite(including without limitation the Information) and used by Customer for its
intended purpose and in accordance with the terms of this MSA infringes any copyright, trade secret or other
proprietary right of any third party, provided that the provisions of the foregoing subsection (ii) shall not apply with
respect to any third party software or equipment installed by Brite for Customer or distributed or sub-licensed to
Customer by Brite as an agent or distributor or reseller of the licensor of such software or the equipment.
The obligations of this Section 8 are contingent upon Customer (i) giving the Brite prompt written notice of any such
claim; (ii) allowing Birte to control the defense and related settlement negotiations; and (iii) providing reasonable
cooperation, at Brite’s expense, in the defense and all related settlement negotiations. Brite shall not enter into any
agreement which results in liability to Customer without its prior written consent, which consent (or lack thereof) shall
not be unreasonably delayed, except for liabilities for monetary damages to be paid by Brite. The obligations of this
Section 8 shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity that would
otherwise exist. The indemnification obligations of this Section must not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce
any common-law or statutory rights of Customer as indemnitee(s) which would otherwise exist as to such
indemnitee(s).
Brite’s indemnity under this Section shall be without regard to and without any right to contribution from any
insurance maintained by Customer. Should Customer be required to bring an action against Brite to assert its right to
defense or indemnification under this MSA or under Brite’s applicable insurance policies required below, Customer
shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred in asserting its right to indemnification or
defense but only if a court of competent jurisdiction determines Brite was obligated to defend the claim(s) or was
obligated to indemnify Customer for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof. In the event of an action filed against
Customer resulting from the Customer’s performance under this MSA, Customer may elect to represent itself and
incur all costs and expenses of suit.

BRITE 2021 CONFIDENTIAL

Brite also waives any and all claims and recourse against Customer, including the right of contribution for loss or
damage to person or property arising from, growing out of, or in any way connected with or incident to the performance
of this MSA except “responsibility for [Customer’s] own fraud, for willful injury to the person or property of another,
or for violation of law, whether willful or negligent” as per 28-2-702, MCA.
9. ASSIGNMENT. This MSA may not be enlarged, modified or altered except by written agreement signed
by both parties hereto. Brite may not subcontract or assign Brite’s rights, including the right to compensation or duties
arising hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Customer. Any subcontractor or assignee will be bound by
all of the terms and conditions of this MSA. Neither Party may assign the MSA (including any Statement of Work)
without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned, to any entity affiliated with, controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Party, provided
that such assignee affirmatively assumes in writing the obligations of the assigning Party hereunder.
10. FORCE MAJEURE. No Party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations
under the MSA, excluding obligations for the payment of any invoices, if and to the extent the default or delay is
caused, directly or indirectly, by fire, flood, elements of nature, acts of God, acts of war, terrorism or civil unrest, or
any other similar unforeseeable cause beyond the reasonable control of the Party. In such event, the non-performing
Party is excused from further performance for as long as such circumstances prevail and the Party continues to use
commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance. Any Party so delayed shall promptly notify the other
and describe the circumstances causing the delay.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Party understands and agrees that this contract is being entered into during a period
of a COVID-19 pandemic and while each Party shall use all reasonable efforts to mitigate delays, the timing of
deliverables under this agreement may be impacted by COVID-19 events.
11. LICENSED SOFTWARE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. To the extent that the Work includes
the license of software for the Customer’s use during the Term (either on a licensed basis or through a software for
services application) (collectively the “Licensed Software”), the Name and Version of the Licensed Software, the
Name of the Licensor (the “Licensor”) and the number of Permitted Users shall be specified on the applicable
Statement of Work. As applicable to any Licensed Software specified on a Statement of Work, Brite, (as the Licensor
or the sub-licensor), hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, limited, revocable, non-transferable license to allow
the Permitted Users to use the Licensed Software for its intended purposes, and, as applicable, in accordance with any
end user license terms and conditions of the Licensor (the “EULA”) Customer may not, nor permit any third party to,
copy the Licensed Software; modify, translate or otherwise create derivative works of the Licensed Software, or;
reverse-engineer the Licensed Software. Customer understands and agrees that no title to the Licensed Software, or
any improvement, modification or enhancement thereto, shall pass to the Customer under this MSA. Customer’s
rights in the Licensed Software are limited to the limited license expressly granted herein. As between the Customer
and Brite, Brite exclusively owns all intellectual property rights, title and interest in any ideas, concepts, know-how,
documentation or techniques Brite provides under this MSA, and all technology available on the Brite servers and
equipment (other than those components which are licensed from others). Brite shall have the right to use the
techniques, methodologies, tools, ideas and other know-how gained during the performance of the Work in the
furtherance of its own business and to perfect all intellectual property rights related thereto, subject to Brite’s
obligations of confidentiality as set forth in Section 4 hereof with respect to the Customer’s Information.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this MSA to the contrary, including the provisions of Section 17 (Dispute
Resolution), Brite and/or its Licensors shall be entitled to pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by Customer of the provisions of this Section 11 and/or the EULA, including
preliminary and permanent injunctions.
12. APPLICABLE LAW AND BINDING EFFECT. This MSA shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Montana and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto and their heirs, personal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section
16 (“Dispute Resolution”), the forum for any action brought under or arising out of this MSA shall be the federal or
state courts of Gallatin County, Montana.

13. TERMINATION. Notwithstanding the provisions regarding the term of this MSA set forth in Section 2
above, and in addition to the parties' rights of termination specifically provided elsewhere in this MSA, the following
shall apply:
A. Except during the term of any Statement(s) of Work, this MSA may be terminated by either Party for
convenience on thirty (30) days advance written notice to the other Party, subject to payment of all
amounts due for Work rendered prior to termination.
B. In the event that one Party breaches any material obligation under this MSA or any Statement(s) of Work
(other than payment obligations, which are governed by Section 3 above), the aggrieved Party shall give
the breaching Party written notice of the breach and request that the breach be cured ("Cure Notice"). If
the breaching Party fails to implement a reasonable corrective action plan and take reasonable action
steps to accomplish the plan within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Cure Notice (or such other mutually
agreed upon time), the aggrieved Party shall have the right to terminate this MSA and any or all
applicable Statement(s) of Work immediately upon providing written notice to the breaching Party. The
aggrieved Party shall have the sole discretion to determine whether the aforementioned corrective action
plan and action steps are reasonable. If Brite’s performance of its obligations are prevented or delayed
by any act or omission of Customer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, Brite shall
not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this MSA.
C. A Party may, at its option, terminate this MSA effective immediately upon written notice upon the
occurrence of an "Insolvency Event of Default" (as defined below) with respect to the other Party. The
occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Insolvency Event of Default":
the other Party admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally or makes a general assignment
for the benefit of creditors; any affirmative act of insolvency by the other Party or the filing by or against
the other Party (which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days) of any petition or action under any
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency arrangement, liquidation, or dissolution; or the subjection of a
material part of the other Party's property to any levy, seizure, assignment or sale for or by any creditor.
D. In the event of termination of this MSA and/or any Statement(s) of Work by Brite for Customer’s
uncured breach, or by Customer for its convenience, Customer shall pay Brite the ETF, if any, specified
in the applicable Statement(s) of Work, which ETF shall be due and payable on the termination date.
E. Upon termination of any Statement(s) of Work, Customer shall discontinue its use of any Licensed
Software and return all equipment provided by Brite for Customer’s use in connection with the Work.
Customer’s rights to any Brite Information or the Licensed Software shall immediately terminate.
14. NONDISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL PAY: Brite agrees that all hiring by Brite of persons performing
this MSA shall be on the basis of merit and qualifications. Brite will have a policy to provide equal employment
opportunity in accordance with all applicable state and federal anti-discrimination laws, regulations, and contracts.
Brite will not refuse employment to a person, bar a person from employment, or discriminate against a person in
compensation or in a term, condition, or privilege of employment because of race, color, religion, creed, political
ideas, sex, age, marital status, national origin, actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or
mental disability, except when the reasonable demands of the position require an age, physical or mental disability,
marital status or sex distinction. Brite shall be subject to and comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964;
Section 140, Title 2, United States Code, and all regulations promulgated thereunder.
Brite represents it is, and for the term of this MSA will be, in compliance with the requirements of the Equal Pay Act
of 1963 and Section 39-3-104, MCA (the Montana Equal Pay Act). Brite must report to Customer any violations of

20. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. Neither the making of this MSA nor the performance of provisions
of this MSA or any Work shall be construed to constitute either Party hereto as an agent, employee or legal

partnership between the Parties. Neither Party shall have any right or authority to create any obligation, warranty,
representation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party, nor to bind the other Party in any
manner whatsoever. The relationship of Brite to Customer under this MSA shall be deemed to be that of an
independent contractor.

any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason
of these Terms.
