maintain a,
Support.
Support Agreement (RSA) is your guarantee of support and maintenance for
Solutions products. You'll enjoy the following coverage for as long as you
active Inova Support Agreement'. This ISA covers one year of Technical
TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND CONSULTATION
Inova Solutions provides 24x7 remote access diagnosis and technical support for your Inova
Solutions system, in conformance with your protocols for network security. Inova Solutions
utilizes WebEx for remote access. WebEx encrypts all session content with 128 Bit Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) technology to deliver a high level of protection required for enterprise data
communications. Network security includes document encryption, Secure -Socket Layer (SSL),
intrusion control, and non -persistent data. Admission to sessions without meeting manager
authentication is prohibited.
***If remote access is not permitted, Inova Solutions will assist via telephone support as best as
possible, but cannot guarantee the issue will be resolved without remote access. Client must
have access to Inova server for Inova Solutions to provide telephone support. Inova Solutions
reserves the right to limit telephone support to 3 hours per incident when remote access is not
permitted.
Special Dial-in/Remote Access Connections- If a Client has a corporate standardized or
another form of remote desktop software, this software (and licenses) must be provided to Inova
Solutions. Additionally, a means to transfer files from Inova Solutions to the core server is
required. Inova Solutions will attempt to accommodate special dial-in/remote access to meet a
Client's connectivity and/or security requirements. Additional installation charges may apply,
depending on the type of access and the speed of connectivity. In order to comply with security
access control, Inova Solutions will only support special requirements during Inova Solutions'
standard business hours. (8:OOAM to 5:OOPM EST Monday -Friday).
Special remote access connections include but are not limited to:
• Any type of access for which Inova Solutions must have specific information prior to
remote access -- e.g., Secure ID token (if a secure token is sent to Inova Solutions,
support will only be available during business hours).
• Remote Access Services (RAS) -- Client must supply the Modem Number of the RAS
Server AND a valid User Name/Password for authentication. As well, Client must notify
Inova Solutions of any additional RAS connection settings (e.g., Secure ID access,
Running Scripts, etc.).
• Any type of connectivity utilizing something other than WebEx for remote control.
Note: If the Client requires that the remote access method be via dial -in modem, the Client
should be aware that some type of desktop access will be required.
Inova Solutions Remote Access Responsibilities
Inova Solutions actions that will ensure safe and successful remote access include but are not
limited to, the following:
1
Support will not be provided to Clients without a current ISA. If an ISA lapses and is later resumed, aback -
charge for the lapsed period may apply; charges for recertification training and upgrading to the most recent
software version may also apply.
• No active remote session will be left unattended; prior to stepping away from their desks,
all Inova Solutions technicians are required to lock and/or log off of the desktop.
• Account information will be shared only with authorized Inova Solutions personnel with a
"need to know."
• Unless being actively utilized for the benefit of the Client, any Secure ID Token (or other
type access code generators) will be stored in a code accessed safe in the Inova
Solutions Technical Manager's office; access is limited to only Inova Solutions
technicians.
• Any information obtained by Inova Solutions during support of a Client will be held as
confidential.
• All Inova Solutions PCs utilized in a technical support capacity run Anti -Virus software
and are kept up to date with the most current Anti -Virus signatures/files.
Client Remote Access Responsibilities
Client actions that will help ensure successful remote access include but are not limited to:
• Assuring any Anti -Virus protection is kept current on the server machine.
• Limiting/restricting any rights the Client feels are necessary while still providing Inova
Solutions with adequate access to fulfill its support obligations.
• Providing a domain account with local administrative rights or a local administrative user
account for Inova Solutions support activities.
For Routine Assistance: The Inova Solutions Help Desk is staffed during normal business hours
(8am —5pm Eastern Standard Time) for routine, non -emergency, and emergency assistance.
Experienced technicians are available who know your system and can troubleshoot problems or
help you enhance the utility of your LightLink system. For example, our technicians will be glad to
offer suggestions regarding data presentation formats on your LightLink output devices or advise
you on rolling out Inova Desktop Presenter software on your network. At your request, our
technicians will also remotely access your system to assess system health and to offer ideas for
optimizing the use of your system.
For Emergency Assistance: During evenings, weekends, and holidays Inova technicians are
on -call to address your emergency, major fault problems and restore your system to operation as
quickly as possible. (Note: "major fault" is defined as an out -of -service condition — i.e., the
LightLink system is inoperative, preventing use of the system, which severely impacts the Client's
end -user operations.) Non -major fault service (such as planned after-hours support to assist with
system upgrades or to provide other non -emergency support) outside of normal business hours is
offered by appointment only at an additional cost, and requires advance credit card approval. For
Clients with a current Inova Support Agreement the discounted price for this non -emergency
after-hours support is $200 for the first hour or fraction thereof, and $100 for every hour or
fraction thereafter.
Targeted Response Times: (After Hours) Major Fault = 30 minutes.
Normal business hours are defined as Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.
Targeted Response Times: (Normal Business Hours) Major Fault = 1 hour, Minor Fault = 3
hours
Normal business hours are defined as Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.
"Major Fault" means one or more of the following:
• Unscheduled System failure (whereby any critical functionality of the LightLink System
is unavailable and there is repeated failure to reboot for any reason)
• LightLink core components (Object Bus, Input Managers, Output Managers, etc.) are
unresponsive
• 5% or more of the LightLink messages supported by the system do not play on their
assigned output devices
• 5% of the LightLink data fields are not updating with real-time data
• 5% or more of the LightLink output devices are out of service
• The LightLink Administrator workstations are out of service
"Minor Fault" means any failure of a product that is not included in the definition of a Major
Fault.
Exclusions:
• Support on any products not pre -registered with Inova Solutions for support
• Support on re -installation or upgrade of any products not currently registered for
support
• Design assurance
• Additional software licenses
• Training related inquiries- e.g. assistance with message and view creation
SERVICE REQUEST SEVERITY LEVELS
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Inova Solutions has
established service request severity definitions.
Severity 1 (Major Fault 1)—Your LightLink system is "down" or there is a critical impact to your
business operations. You and Inova Solutions will commit all necessary resources around the
clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (Major Fault 2)—Operation of an existing LightLink system is severely degraded, or
significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance
of Inova Solutions products. You and Inova Solutions will commit full-time resources during
normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (Minor Fault 3)—Operational performance of your LightLink system is impaired while
most business operations remain functional. You and Inova Solutions are willing to commit
resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (Minor Fault 4)—You require information or assistance with Inova Solutions product
capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
Inova does its best to provide root cause analysis for all bugs but can only commit to full root
cause analysis for all Severity 1 and Severity 2 bugs.
LightLink Backup: Inova Solutions recommends that a regular LightLink system backup be
made on a weekly to monthly basis, depending on system usage. The procedure for backing up
your system varies depending on the LightLink version number; contact Inova Solutions Client
Services for more information. Having a recent backup in place will allow for the system to be
regenerated if a system fault or failure occurs. Clients that fail to backup the system may incur
additional fees if assistance is required to rebuild the system.
Anti -Virus Protection: Inova Solutions is not responsible for supplying or maintaining anti -virus
protection on the LightLink host servers). Supplying and maintaining anti -virus protection rests
entirely with the Client.
System Recommendations: The minimum recommendations Inova Solutions provides are set
according to load testing analysis and established to support a minimal implementation of
LightLink on a stand-alone system host. This supports the software at a level Inova Solutions
recommends as satisfactory.
Installation on hosts not meeting the minimum system recommendations may work, however
system performance and response cannot be guaranteed. Should Inova Solutions Engineering
analysis be required to review operational issues, a hardware upgrade to the system minimum
recommendations is likely the first required step toward resolution.
Inova recommends a monthly reboot of the LightLink server(s) Operating System.
Configuration of LightLink Messages, DataLink Views, (nova Broadcaster (IB) Views, and
(nova Performance Tracker (IPT) Views: Inova Solutions Client Services will assist in the
creation or configuration of two (2) messages or two (2) views to LightLink system output devices
during the initial installation or an upgrade of the system. All other messages and/or views are the
responsibility of the Client, eTraining modules that cover the creation of messages and views can
be accessed from the secure area of the Inova Support website
(http:Hsu pport. inovasolutions.com).
Client Environment Changes: Inova Solutions recommends that the Client contact Inova Client
Services prior to any network configuration changes, PC imaging, host name or IP address
changes, etc. to review the ramifications to the LightLink system. Undertaking these actions
without first consulting Client Services may cause system outages. Outages caused under these
circumstances are not deemed "mission critical" and will not take priority over other Inova
Solutions Help Desk cases. Outages caused under these circumstances are also subject to
additional fees if assistance is required. If such outages occur outside of normal business hours,
assistance will be provided the next normal business day, unless otherwise scheduled with Inova
Solutions Client Services.
Data Source Upgrades: Inova Solutions recommends that the Client contact Inova Client
Services prior to any version upgrades of an existing data source from which Inova is pulling
data. Clients undertaking these actions without first consulting Inova Client Services do so at their
own risk. Outages caused under these circumstances are subject to additional fees if assistance
is required. If such outages occur outside of normal business hours, assistance will be provided
the next normal business day, unless otherwise scheduled with Inova Solutions Client Services,
ESCALATION PROCESS: The following tables summarize the process Inova Solutions Client
Services follows for Help Desk case escalation during normal and after-hours business
operation. For Clients without remote access Inova Technical support will not escalate case to
a Tier 2 Level if the issue is not reproducible in an Inova lab environment.

One-way shipping is the Client's responsibility. Inova will return ship the equipment by the
same means it was received.
HARDWARE WARRANTY
For the first year following installation, Inova Solutions requires the purchase of an ISA (Inova
Support Agreement). Inova Solutions warrants its hardware products to be free from defects in
material and workmanship for one (1) year. The hardware warranty begins on the date the
system is installed and activated. For equipment that is self -installed by the Client, the
hardware warranty begins on the date the system is shipped from Inova. The Inova Hardware
warranty will extend through the one-year period of the original ISA and, if purchased by the
Client, during subsequent continuous one-year renewal periods of the ISA. Inova will provide
repair parts and services for Inova Hardware that is continuously covered by an ISA for up to
three (3) years. After three (3) years from the original warranty start date, Inova will attempt to
repair or replace covered items based on parts availability. Inova may elect to offer a credit
toward purchase of a comparable replacement product if repair parts are no longer available.
For repairs, Inova Hardware must be returned to an authorized Inova Service Center. This
Warranty does not apply if repairs are required due to acts of nature beyond Inova Is control
such as, but not limited to, lightning strikes and power surges), misuse, damage, neglect, or if
repairs/modifications have been made or attempted by anyone other than personnel
authorized by Inova.
This warranty applies only to goods manufactured by (nova Solutions. Most systems supplied
by Inova include hardware components manufactured by others (such as computers, third -
party displays, video monitors, and communications cards). During the first year of the ISA,
Inova warrants all such hardware components under the same terms as the warranty for
Inova-manufactured parts. After the first year, these component parts are covered by the
separate warranty of their manufacturers.
SOFTWARE WARRANTY
Inova warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days from shipment the media will be free of
defects in materials and workmanship and that the Software conforms to its published
specifications. Except for the foregoing, the Software is provided as is. Client's exclusive
remedy and the entire liability of Inova Solutions and Inova resellers under this warranty will be
repair, replacement or refund of the software. In no event does Inova warrant the Software is
error free or that the Client will be able to operate the Software without problems or
interruptions. For the first year following installation, Inova requires the purchase of an ISA
(Inova Support Agreement). Inova agrees to provide support and maintenance for the
Software during this period in accordance with the terms of the ISA, and will extend this
support and maintenance during subsequent continuous one-year ISA renewal periods if
purchased by the Client.
RENEWAL AND MULTI -YEAR CONTRACTS
The initial one-year Inova Support Agreement is required for all systems and is included in the
purchase price. Inova must be notified in writing 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing
contract if the ]nova Support Agreement will not be renewed. Clients will be contacted 90 days
prior to contract expiration with renewal details. Clients who sign on for multi -year Inova Support
Agreement coverage are eligible for attractive discounts. Please contact your sales or service
representative for details.

CITY SECRET�►Rlf
FT, VVORTNI TX
Inova Solutions constantly strives to improve its products and services. As such, every effort is
made to provide enhancements to and repair defects in our products. Nevertheless, software
and/or hardware product lines do periodically become obsolete due to technological
advancements, fundamental design changes, underlying operating system obsolescence, and a
variety of other technical reasons. When this is the case, Inova Solutions must declare End of
Support dates for obsolete LightLinkTM software versions, data source connections, software
applications and hardware. For your planning purposes, we have provided below the End of
Support dates for all affected software and hardware series.
In all cases, when End of Support dates are declared, upgrade paths for existing products are
offered. Further, Clients with a valid Inova Support Agreement (ISA) are eligible for free minor
software upgrades (e.g., 5.0 to 5.1), discounts for major software upgrades (2.6 to 5.1), and
discounts to replace outdated hardware items. Please refer to the Software Upgrades and
Hardware Warranty section of the Inova Support Agreement document for additional details.
In all cases, a valid ISA will guarantee ongoing support for even obsolete hardware and
software. We will not, however, be able to provide any patches or modifications for the older
software versions, as listed below, and can not guarantee parts will be available for hardware
repairs. If you decide that an upgrade of software or replacement of hardware is not what your
company desires, be aware that support will be available beyond published dates only on a "best
efforts" approach. In other words, we will do our best to support obsolete products, but can not
guarantee that all service and support issues can be overcome. When Inova is asked to support
obsolete products, you will pay slightly higher ISA rates, but this will guarantee discounts are
available to you on future upgrades.
