The Acquirer Services are being provided in conjunction with the Sub -Merchant Agreement entered into between Sub -Merchant and Wonderware Inc. d/b/a CORE Business Technologies ("Provider"). In consideration of Sub -Merchant's receipt of credit or debit card ("Card") funded payments, and participation in programs affiliated with Mastercard International Inc. ("Mastercard"), VISA U.S.A. Inc. ("VISA"), Discover ("Discover"), American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. ("American Express"), and certain similar entities (collectively, "Card Brands"), Sub -Merchant is required to (i) enter into a direct relationship with an entity that is a member of the Card Brands, and (ii) agree to comply with Card Brand rules as they pertain to applicable Card payments. By entering into this Sub -Merchant Agreement, Sub -Merchant is fulfilling the Card Brand rule of entering into a direct relationship with a Member of the Card Brands; however, Acquirers understand that Sub -Merchant has contracted with Provider to obtain certain processing services. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. THE ACOUIRER SERVICES. 1.1 PROVISION AND USE OF ACQUIRER SERVICES Sub -Merchant acknowledges that even though Sub -Merchant signs up for the payment processing feature of the Services, Sub -Merchant is not guaranteed use of that feature of the Services. The payment processing feature will not be available to Sub -Merchant unless and until Provider and/or Acquirers have confirmed that Sub -Merchant is eligible to use the Acquirer Services and this Sub -Merchant Agreement has become binding on all parties as provided herein. If that occurs, the Acquirer Services will be provided to Sub -Merchant subject to and in accordance with this Sub -Merchant Agreement. Sub -Merchant will only use the Acquirer Services for business purposes and not for personal, family, or household use. 1.2 REQUIRED INFORMATION Sub -Merchant agrees to provide Provider and/or Acquirers with such information (including financial statements and other financial information) as they may request in order to confirm that Sub -Merchant is eligible to receive the Acquirer Services. In addition, Sub -Merchant will furnish to Provider and/or Acquirers from time to time, promptly upon their request, (i) a list of the current addresses of all Sub -Merchant's offices, (ii) a list of all assumed business names (d/b/a's) used by Sub -Merchant, and (iii) a list of all products and services provided by Sub -Merchant. Sub -Merchant agrees that all information Sub -Merchant provides to Provider and/or Acquirers will be accurate and complete and Sub -Merchant agrees to keep such information up-to-date. Sub -Merchant agrees to provide Provider with at least 30 days' prior written notice of Sub -Merchant's intent to change the scope or nature of its business or its current type of products or services. If Acquirers determine such a change is material to its relationship with Sub - Merchant, Acquirers may refuse to process Card transactions made subsequent to the change or terminate this Sub -Merchant Agreement. Sub -Merchant further agrees to provide Provider with prompt written notice if it is the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition or proceeding. Sub -Merchant will also provide Provider with prompt written notice of (i) any adverse change in Sub -Merchant's financial condition, (ii) any planned or anticipated liquidation or substantial change the basic nature of its business, (iii) any transfer or sale of any substantial part (25% or more in value) of its total assets, or (iv) if Sub -Merchant or its parent is not a corporation whose shares are listed on a national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter market, any change in the control or ownership of Sub -Merchant or its parent. Sub -Merchant will also notify Provider of any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment, execution, or levy against any substantial part (25% or more in value) of its total assets not later than three (3) days after Sub -Merchant obtains knowledge of any such judgment, writ, warrant of attachment, execution or levy. 1.3 VERIFICATION Sub -Merchant authorizes Provider and/or Acquirers to make, from time to time, any business and personal credit inquiries (including, but not limited to, credit reports for Sub -Merchant's directors, officers, and principals), identity -verification inquiries, transaction -verification inquiries (including, but not limited to, with customers), and any other inquiries considered necessary relating to this Sub -Merchant Agreement, and to provide any information and documentation to Member and/or the Card Brands as may be required by them. Sub -Merchant also authorizes any person or credit reporting agency to compile information to answer those inquires and to furnish that information to Provider and/or Acquirers. 1.4 AUDIT RIGHT In the event Acquirers reasonably suspect that they are subject to a financial or reputational risk due to Sub -Merchant's actions or omissions, Sub -Merchant authorizes Acquirers to perform an audit or inspection of Sub -Merchant's operations to confirm compliance with this Sub -Merchant Agreement upon reasonable advance notice and at Acquirers' expense. Sub -Merchant agrees to cooperate, in good faith, with any such audit conducted by Acquirers. Further, Sub -Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the Card Brands have the right to audit Sub -Merchant's business to confirm compliance with the Operating Regulations. 1.5 DATA OWNERSHIP Acquirers will own all data associated with Sub -Merchant's use of the Acquirer Services. Sub -Merchant acknowledges that this data may be used by Acquirers for any purpose including the following: (a) providing and improving the Acquirer Services; (b) internal usage, including but not limited to, data analytics provided that such data is anonymous and aggregated with other customer data; and (c) complying with applicable legal requirements and assisting law enforcement agencies. 2. CARD ACCEPTANCE. 2.1 ACCEPTANCE Sub -Merchant will honor, without discrimination, any valid Card properly tendered by a person asserting to be the person in whose name the Card is issued ("Cardholder").

Sub -Merchant's refund polices for purchases made with a Card must be at least as favorable as Sub -Merchant's refund policy for purchases made with any other form of payment. 2.3 REQUEST AT TIME OF PAYMENT When accepting payment, Sub -Merchant will request the Card expiration date and ZIP code or postal code from the Cardholder's billing address. It is also highly recommended that Sub -Merchant obtain the security code from each Card, but Sub -Merchant must not store this information permanently. 2.4 CARD AUTHORIZATION Sub -Merchant is required to obtain an authorization through the Services, in accordance with this Sub -Merchant Agreement, for each Card transaction. Acquirers reserve the right to refuse to process any Card transaction presented by Sub -Merchant unless it includes a proper authorization. Authorizations are not a guarantee of acceptance or payment of a transaction and do not waive any provision of this Sub -Merchant Agreement, or otherwise validate a fraudulent transaction or a transaction involving the use of an expired Card. Acquirers may refuse to authorize any transaction.

SUB -MERCHANT'S DUTY TO MONITOR Acquirers will not, and have no obligation to, confirm the validity of the recipient or the underlying transaction pursuant to which funds are transferred.

It is Sub -Merchant's sole obligation and responsibility to promptly and consistently inspect Sub -Merchant's transaction history and must immediately report any possible errors to Provider. b. DISPUTES, INQUIRIES, AND CHARGEBACKS Working with Provider, Acquirers will handle Card Brand inquiries about Sub -Merchant's Card transactions, in addition to disputes between Sub -Merchant and a customer involving Card payment transactions. Based on customer disputes, Acquirers may reverse Card transactions ("chargebacks"), and Provider and/or Acquirers will offset the value of such chargebacks from monies owed to Sub -Merchant. Sub -Merchant must not reenter or reprocess any Card transaction that has been charged back, but instead will allow the chargeback process to proceed to its conclusion as described in the Operating Regulations.

The existence of Excessive Activity will be a breach of this Sub -Merchant Agreement and may result in action as Acquirers deem necessary, including, but not limited to, termination or suspension of processing privileges or creation or maintenance of a reserve. Acquirers may revoke or reverse any credit given to Sub -Merchant where: (i) the Card transaction was not made in compliance with this Sub -Merchant Agreement and the Operating Regulations, the Laws, or the Policies; (ii) the Cardholder disputes liability to Provider and/or Acquirers for any reason, including but not limited to those chargeback rights enumerated in the Operating Regulations; (iii) the Card transaction was not directly between Sub -Merchant and the Cardholder; or (iv) a deposit to Sub -Merchant was made erroneously. C. REFUND CREDITS Sub -Merchant will issue a credit memorandum instead of making a cash advance, a disbursement, or a refund on any Card transaction. Provider and/or Acquirers will debit from amounts owing Sub -Merchant for the total face amount of each credit memorandum submitted. Sub -Merchant will not submit a credit relating to any Card transaction not originally submitted to Provider, nor will it submit a credit that exceeds the amount of the original Card transaction. Sub -Merchant will, within the time period specified by the Operating Regulations, provide Provider and/or Acquirers with a credit memorandum or credit statement for every return of goods or forgiveness of debt for services that were the subject of a Card transaction. 3.12 SPECIAL MASTERCARD TERMS As used in this Section 3.12: (i) "Corporation" means Mastercard International Incorporated, Maestro International Inc., and their subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) "Interchange System" means the computer hardware and software operated by and on behalf of the Corporation for the routing, processing, and settlement of transactions (iii) "Marks" means the names, logos, trade names, logotypes, trademarks, service marks, trade designations, and other designations, symbols, and marks that the Corporation owns, manages, licenses, or otherwise controls and makes available for use by authorized entities in accordance with the Standards, and "Mark" means any one of the Marks; and (iv) "Standards" means the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the bylaws, operating rules, regulations, policies, and procedures of the Corporation, including but not limited to any manuals, guides or bulletins, as may be amended from time to time.

Sub -Merchant agrees that Provider may require any changes to Sub -Merchant's website or otherwise that Provider deems necessary or appropriate to ensure that Sub -Merchant remains in compliance with the Standards governing the use of the Marks. In addition to the termination provisions set forth in Section 5, this Sub -Merchant Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate if the Corporation de -registers Provider or if an Acquirer ceases to be approved by the Corporation for any reason or if such Acquirer fails to have a valid license with the Corporation to use any Mark accepted by Sub -Merchant.

Sub -Merchant authorizes and directs Provider to deduct the amounts Sub -Merchant owes under this paragraph from User Payments, and Sub -Merchant understands that User Payments Provider remits to Sub -Merchant will be net of these amounts. Sub -Merchant further agrees that Provider may withhold the following amounts from User Payments, and Sub -Merchant understands that User Payments Provider remits to Sub -Merchant will be net of these amounts: (i) the amount of any User Payment that is subject to dispute or reasonably anticipated to be subject to dispute as determined in Provider's sole discretion (such as in the case of Card charge backs) and any related adjustments, fees, penalties, or costs Provider incurs or reasonably anticipates Provider will incur as a result of the dispute; (ii) any third -parry fees or charges Provider incurs or reasonably anticipates Provider will incur as a result of a disputed, returned, or cancelled User Payments, including any imposed on Provider by Acquirers; (iii) any taxes or other amounts as required by law; and (iv) any other amounts Sub -Merchant owes to Provider under the Sub -Merchant Agreement, including any amounts that Provider reasonably believes are or may be owed to Provider as a result of any breach by Sub -Merchant of this Sub -Merchant Agreement or pursuant to Sub -Merchant's indemnification obligations under the Sub -Merchant Agreement. Sub -Merchant authorizes Provider to use the funds so withheld to satisfy Sub- merchant's obligations in respect of any matters described in this paragraph. To the extent the funds so withheld exceed the amount(s) actually required to satisfy Sub -Merchant's obligations, the remaining funds will be treated as User Payments received by Provider during the calendar month in which Provider determines (in Provider's sole and reasonable discretion) that Sub -Merchant's obligations have been satisfied and remitted to Sub -Merchant in accordance with the paragraphs above. In the event amounts deducted or withheld from User Payments are insufficient to pay all amounts Sub -Merchant owes to Provider hereunder, Sub -Merchant agrees to pay such amounts on demand, and to pay all attorneys' fees and costs and expenses of collection Provider incurs in collecting amounts Sub -Merchant owes. 4.2 SETTLEMENT Upon receipt of Sub -Merchant's sales data for Card transactions through the Services, Acquirers will process Sub -Merchant's sales data to facilitate the funds transfer between the various Card Brands and Sub -Merchant. After Acquirers receive credit for such sales data, Acquirers will either fund Sub -Merchant directly or through Provider to an account designated by Provider ("Provider Designated Account"), for such Card transactions. Sub -Merchant agrees that Acquirers' deposit of funds to the Provider Designated Account shall discharge Acquirers of their settlement obligation to Sub -Merchant. Any dispute concerning the amount or receipt of settlement shall be between Provider and Sub -Merchant. Acquirers will debit the Provider Designated Account for funds owed to Acquirers as a result of the Acquirer Services provided hereunder. Further, if a cardholder disputes a transaction, if a transaction is charged back for any reason, or if Acquirers reasonably believe a transaction is unauthorized or otherwise unacceptable, the amount of such transaction may be charged back and debited from Sub -Merchant or Provider. 4.3 REMITTANCE BY PROVIDER Unless Sub -Merchant and Provider otherwise agree in writing, funds received by Provider in respect of payments by Cardholders to Sub -Merchant that are processed through the Service ("User Payments") will be remitted to Sub -Merchant (net of amounts Acquirers and/or Provider is authorized to deduct or withhold, as described above and in this Sub -Merchant Agreement) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar month in which such User Payments are received by Provider. Funds will be remitted in the form Sub -Merchant selects when Sub -Merchant registers for payment processing services, or as subsequently updated as permitted by the Service. If Sub -Merchant believes that Provider has failed to remit User Payments owed to Sub -Merchant, Sub -Merchant must notify Provider in writing within ninety (90) days of the date of such remittance or from the date when Sub -Merchant purports such remittance would have been due, specifying in reasonable detail the amounts Sub -Merchant believes are owed. Sub -Merchant's failure to so notify Provider shall result in Sub -Merchant's waiver of any claim relating to such disputed remittance. Amounts owed to Sub -Merchant shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by Provider, which shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. Sub -Merchant shall have no audit rights hereunder. 4.4 SUB -MERCHANT ACCOUNT To ensure proper remittance of User Payments, Sub -Merchant is solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with Sub -Merchant's account, which may include without limitation applicable tax information.

Sub -Merchant agrees to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with Sub -Merchant's participation in the Service. 4.5 RESERVE Provider and/or Acquirers may, in their reasonable discretion, establish a reserve if they believe there is a risk of potential chargebacks, returns, or any other risk or liability associated with Sub -Merchant's use of the Acquirer Services or to ensure current or future payment owed to Provider and/or Acquirers. Provider will provide sub -Merchant with notice of the reserve and the terms of the reserve. Provider and/or Acquirers may require that a certain portion of Sub -Merchant's Card transaction proceeds be held by Acquirers in reserve for a certain period of time, or that Sub -Merchant make a lump sum payment for the reserve. Provider and/or Acquirers may change the terms of the reserve at any time by providing Sub -Merchant with notice of the new terms. Provider and/or Acquirers have the right to use funds otherwise owed to Sub -Merchant to establish, increase, or maintain funds in reserve. Acquirers may hold a reserve as long as Provider and/or Acquirers deem necessary to mitigate risks associated with Sub - Merchant's transactions. Sub -Merchant understands and agrees that if Sub -Merchant is required to establish a reserve, Sub -Merchant has an obligation under this Sub - Merchant Agreement to maintain at all times the balance in the reserve set by Provider and/or Acquirers.

Provider and/or Acquirers may also debit the reserve to exercise their rights under this Sub -Merchant Agreement, to collect any amounts due to them including, without limitation, rights of set-off and recoupment. Sub -Merchant agrees that it is liable for all obligations associated with its use of the Acquirer Services even after the release of any reserve.

For purposes of these "Rules', an affiliate of a Merchant that has an existing relationship is not deemed to have an existing relationship with respect to TEL items. TEL TRANSACTION OBLIGATIONS: Merchant agrees to comply with all NACHA Operating Rules (the "Rules"). The Rules are incorporated herein by reference. Merchant agrees to obtain the customer's explicit authorization prior to initiating a debit entry to a customer's account. Merchant need not provide the customer with a written authorization for the customer to signor similarly authenticate. Instead, the Merchant may obtain the customer's authorization for a TEL entry orally via the telephone. Merchant is obligated either to tape record the customer's oral authorization or to provide, in advance of the Settlement Date of the entry, written notice to the customer that confirms the oral authorization. The customer must be provided, and must acknowledge, the following terms of the transaction: • The date on or after which the customer's account will be debited: • The amount of the debit entry to the customer's account: • The customer's name; • A telephone number that is available to the customer and answered during normal business hours for customer inquiries; • The date of the customer's oral authorization; and • A statement by the customer that the authorization obtained from the customer will be used to originate an ACH debit entry to the customer's account.

Silence is not express consent. The Merchant must retain either the original or a duplicate tape recording of the customer's oral authorization OR a copy of the written notice confirming the customer's oral authorization for two (2) years from the date of the authorization. Merchant must provide a copy of the customer's authorization when requested. A Merchant using a voice response unit (VRU) to capture a customer's authorization for a TEL entry must understand that key -entry responses by the customer to input data and to respond to questions does not qualify as an oral authorization. A VRU may be used by the customer to key enter data and to respond to questions, provided that the actual authorization by the customer is provided orally. A Merchant that chooses the option to provide the customer with written notice confirming the customer's oral authorization must disclose to the customer during the telephone call the method by which such notice will be provided. The written notice must include, at a minimum, the six pieces of information required to be disclosed during the telephone call, as described above. Merchant understands that the term 'provide' is intended to mean that the merchant has utilized a medium such as US mail, fax, or other mail delivery, to send the written notice to the customer.

Customer inquiries concerning the reasons for decline and requests for assistance to correct the problem shall be directed to the reporting agency that communicated the fact that the customer's check should be declined (i.e., not CORE). account.

ARC SALES PROCEDURES: ARC ENTRY: An ARC entry is a Single -Entry debit initiated by a Merchant -Business for the conversion of a customer check received via the US mail or at a drop box location for the payment of goods or services provided by said merchant. AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR ARC ACH ITEMS: Merchants originating ARC entries being submitted into the ACH Network for electronic settlement must follow and adhere to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The ARC entry is a single entry debit to a customer's account, initiated by a merchant for payment of purchases made, where the customer mailed a check (used as a source document) to the merchant via the U.S. mail or by placing the check in a drop box. The Merchant is required to use a reading device to capture the MICR line (routing number, account number, and check serial number) of the source document (check) but may key enter the amount of the transaction. This application requires the Merchant to provide, prior to the receipt of each check, notice to the customer that receipt of his check will be authorization for the check to be used as a source document for an ACH debit transaction to the check writer's account at his financial institution. ARC CHECK CONVERSION OBLIGATIONS: Merchant agrees to comply with all NACHA Operating Rules (the "Rules"). The Rules are incorporated herein by reference. Merchant agrees to retain, or have retained on their behalf by an outside vendor, an image, microfilm, or other copy of the front of the customer's source document for a period of two years from the Settlement Date of the entry. The original source document to which the ARC entry relates must be destroyed by the Merchant within fourteen (14) days of the Settlement Date of the Entry. This requirement is to protect against the risk that, by error, the source document might subsequently be entered into the check processing system for payment as a check. Merchant agrees to notify the customer each time a bill is mailed that receipt of the customer's check will be deemed to be the customer's authorization for an ACH debit entry to their account. So together the Biller's (merchant) provision of notice and the customer's mailed in check, allow for the ARC entry. The notice must be on the individual customer's statement, ADDITIONAL ARC CHECK CONVERSION OBLIGATIONS: All ARC entries must be originated so that the amount of the entry, the routing number, the account number, and the check serial number accurately reflect the source document. No fees may be added to the amount of the source document when it is transmitted as an ARC entry. Merchant shall accept responsibility for all items incorrectly entered into the settlement system which may return as being unable to process, such items could be but are not limited to the earlier listed items not to be used as source documents. Merchant shall strictly comply with all guidelines and rules established by CORE regarding the quality of data submitted to CORE, input schedules and deadlines and all other matters pertinent to the processing and delivery of ACH entry data. Merchant agrees to perform a settlement (or Deposit) on each terminal/software device used for ARC entries on a daily basis. RETURN OF ARC ENTRY: Merchants assumes all responsibilities for returned items/ARC entries. While most ARC entries will be returned typically within two to three banking days following the Settlement Date of the original ARC entry, there are situations in which entries can be returned by the customer's financial institution for 60 days from the settlement date. One such scenario is when a customer places a stop payment on the source document, instead of the ACH stop payment system. Other scenarios could be: 1) improper source document 2) no notice provided to customer that check was going to be converted 3) source document was presented for payment as a check and 4) ARC entry was initiated in an amount other than that indicated on the source document. Further merchant is aware that the NACHA Operation Rules restrict the number of times that any entry, including ARC entries, returned for insufficient or uncollected funds may be reinitiated to no more than two times following the return of the original entry.
