(collectively, “Confidential Information”). Each Party warrants and agrees to hold all Confidential

impact, AGENCY agrees to complete a formal evaluation application for review and approval by
CONTRACTOR. AGENCY agrees not to proceed with such formal evaluation until CONTRACTOR approval
is obtained.
AGENCY agrees not to begin participant enrollment in an impact evaluation study until after AGENCY has
achieved formal site certification from CONTRACTOR.

agreeing to be bound by the terms and restrictions of CONTRACTOR’s Master Subscription Agreement

(hereinafter, “MSA”) with Salesforce.Org (hereinafter, “Salesforce”),
which CONTRACTOR utilizes for data collection and processing relative to the FC Program. By entering
into this Agreement, and any related BAA, as referenced in paragraph “c” above, and to ensure that the
FC Program is properly implemented, CONTRACTOR may assign to, or provide for purchase by, AGENCY
a license to access and utilize the Salesforce system. If such license is granted to AGENCY, AGENCY
understands and agrees that in order to be granted access to the Salesforce system via a license,
AGENCY shall be subject to the provisions of CONTRACTOR’s MSA as to the usage, terms and restrictions
governing access and use of the Salesforce system. The terms and conditions applicable to AGENCY
under such MSA shall be provided to AGENCY prior to, or at the time of, the issuance of such licenses.
AGENCY’s agreement to be bound by the MSA terms and conditions shall be in addition to any BAA
entered into between CONTRACTOR and AGENCY. AGENCY shall execute a separate acceptance of such
terms and conditions of being issued a license in the form attached hereto as Attachments B and C. In
the event that CONTRACTOR uses any platform other than Salesforce for data collection and processing
relative to the FC Program, CONTRACTOR shall grant AGENCY access to such platform on terms and
conditions no less favorable than those set forth herein, on Attachments B and C.
If a Salesforce license is granted or provided to AGENCY by CONTRACTOR, AGENCY understands that any
breach of the MSA terms and conditions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Any AGENCY
breach of the MSA terms and conditions by a Party shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
VII.Assignment

prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void. This
Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted
assignees.

Agreement, the Party prevailing in such proceeding shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be
granted, to reimbursement by the non-prevailing Party of all of such prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs incurred in connection with such proceeding. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section
IX shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
X.Amendments and Notice
Changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be mutually agreed upon by written amendment.

XI.Waiver
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement, nor any partial exercise of any
such right, will constitute a waiver of that right, or any other right. The waiver by either party of the breach of
any terms and conditions of, or any right under, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute the waiver of
any other breach of the same, or any other term or condition, or of any similar right.
XII.Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the
provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.

the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to choice or conflicts of law rules, and to the exclusive

XIV.Accessibility
Contractor shall provide a third-party attestation of product accessibility compliance for any software or
platform with which users will interact when requested by Agency. Such attestation shall include a summary of
the software’s or platform’s ADA compliance as well as any outstanding accessibility issues identified in the
software or platform, and an explanation as to how Contractor intends to make the software or platform fully
compliant. Remediation of accessibility issues which pose a very minor inconvenience to disabled users but do
not prevent them from using the software may be waived by the Agency in its sole discretion. Correction of
accessibility issues may require, among other things, writing new core code, turning off inaccessible features,
providing users with third party software in addition to their assistive technology, or providing disabled users
with an alternative pathway to the inaccessible feature or the business process that it automates. Contractor
shall collaborate with the Agency to prioritize accessibility defects based on severity. If the Agency determines
that accessibility issues exist but cannot be resolved or mitigated, Agency may terminate this Agreement
XV.Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but
all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by
facsimile, email, or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of
an original signed copy of this Agreement.

attachments, and appendices, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the
subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements,
representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter.
XVII.Relationship of the Parties
The relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors. The details of the method and manner
for performance of the Services by CONTRACTOR shall be under its own control, AGENCY being interested only
in the results thereof. CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for supervising, controlling, and directing the
details and manner of the completion of the Services. Nothing in this Agreement shall give AGENCY the right to
instruct, supervise, control, or direct the details and manner of the completion of the Services. The Services
must meet AGENCY’S final approval and shall be subject to AGENCY’S general right of inspection throughout the
performance of the Services and to secure satisfactory final completion. Nothing contained in this Agreement

employment, or fiduciary relationship between the Parties, and neither Party shall have authority to contract for
or bind the other Party in any manner whatsoever.
XVIII.Force Majeure
No Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached
this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any
obligations of AGENCY to make payments to CONTRACTOR hereunder), when and to the extent such failure or
delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the impacted party’s (“Impacted Party”) reasonable control,
including, without limitation, the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)”): (a) acts of God; (b)
flood, fire, earthquake, or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist

the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. The Impacted Party shall
resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In
the event that the Impacted Party’s failure or delay remains uncured for a period of sixty (60) days following
written notice given by it under this Section XVIII, the other Party may thereafter terminate this Agreement
upon thirty days’ written notice.

information (hereinafter, “Trade Secret”) considered to be confidential, valuable, and proprietary, for the purpose of
implementing the FCI program (“Family Connects”) through the Illuminate Colorado Inc. with whom Eagle County,
Colorado has an relationship. The Parties acknowledge that but for such relationship between Eagle County, Colorado
with Illuminate Colorado Inc., and the desire of Illuminate Colorado Inc. and FCI to implement the Family Connects
program through Illuminate Colorado Inc., FCI would not disclose any Confidential Information to Eagle County,
Colorado without this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that without the protections set forth in this Agreement,
FCI would not disclose any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets to Eagle County, Colorado.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions: For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions and clarifications shall apply:
(a)“Trade Secret” shall mean any information of FCI, without regard to form, including, but not limited to,
technical or non-technical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a method, a technique, a sample, a
drawing, a process, research strategies and data, financial data, financial plans, product plans, development plans,
budgets, or information or a list of actual or potential customers, payers, lessors, subcontractors, or suppliers, which is
not commonly known by or available to the public and which information (i) derives economic value, actual or
potential, from not being generally known to and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by other persons
who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under
the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.
(b)“Confidential Information” shall mean any data or information other than Trade Secrets, without
regard to form, that is of value to FCI and is not generally known to third parties. To the extent consistent with the
foregoing, Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, lists (whether in written form or otherwise) of, or
any information about, FCI’s executives, employees, subcontractors, consultants, insurance payers, and affiliates,
Products, Existing Works, research and marketing techniques, price lists, pricing policies, budgets, business methods,
development plans, financial data, potential development plans or sites, contracts and contractual relations,
customers, and suppliers, and the existence and substance of any discussions and relationship between the Parties

includes any information described in this paragraph (b) which FCI obtains from another party and which FCI treats as
proprietary or designates as confidential, whether or not owned or developed by FCI.
(c)The terms “Trade Secret” and “Confidential Information” shall not include any materials or information

DocuSign Envelope ID: 96F4754F-0E73-44D6-AE45-22B03D87ABCA

act or failure to act by Recipient, are or become publicly known or generally
utilized by others engaged in the same business or activities in which FCI utilized, developed or otherwise acquired
such information; (ii) are lawfully known to Recipient prior to FCI’s disclosure pursuant to this Agreement, not having
been obtained from FCI; (iii) are furnished to others by FCI with no restriction on disclosure; or (iv) are independently
developed by Recipient. Failure to mark any of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information as confidential shall not
affect its status as a Trade Secret or Confidential Information under this Agreement.
(d)“Products” shall mean any and all works of authorship created or developed prior to or during the Term
of this Agreement by FCI, or any of its agents, employees, or subcontractors. “Products” may also include text, video,

all right, title, and interest in and to such “Products”, including all copyrights and other intellectual property rights
therein.
(e)“Existing Works” shall mean all Products, intellectual property or other property created by FCI prior to
the execution of this Agreement, which the Parties agree all intellectual property rights of such Existing Works are, and

trademarks, and “moral rights” (as such term is typically understood under intellectual property law).
Section 2. Maintenance of Confidentiality: Recipient shall hold FCI’s Trade Secrets and Confidential Information in
strict confidence and take all appropriate measures to ensure that no unauthorized person shall have access to such
Trade Secrets or Confidential Information and that all “Authorized Parties” (as defined below) having access refrain
from making any unauthorized use or disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Recipient shall protect FCI’s Trade
Secrets and Confidential Information with the same degree of care as Recipient would normally use in the protection of
its own Trade Secrets or Confidential Information, but in no case with less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient
shall immediately notify FCI in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure which violates this Agreement.
Recipient shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations protecting Trade Secrets and
Confidential Information.
Section 3. Ownership: Recipient acknowledges that all Trade Secrets and Confidential Information of FCI are the
exclusive property of FCI and that this Agreement does not grant a license or option, either expressly or by
implication, to Recipient under any patent or other intellectual property rights held by FCI.
Section 4. Restrictions on Use and Disclosure: Recipient will not, except as expressly authorized or directed by FCI,
use, copy, or disclose, or permit any unauthorized person access to, any Trade Secrets or Confidential Information
belonging to FCI, except that Recipient may disclose such Trade Secrets or Confidential Information of FCI in
confidence to its employees and advisors (hereinafter “Authorized Parties”), who: (a) have a substantive need to
know such Trade Secrets and Confidential Information in connection with the relationship between the Parties
hereto; (b) have been advised of the confidential and proprietary nature of such Trade Secrets and Confidential
Information; and (c) have a written agreement with Recipient to protect from unauthorized use or disclosure all of
FCI’s Trade Secrets and Confidential Information to which they have access in the course of their relationship with
Recipient. In all events, Recipient shall remain liable for any breach of this Agreement by any Authorized Parties. For
the avoidance of doubt, Recipient shall not use Trade Secrets or Confidential Information in any manner not
contemplated by FCI or in any way detrimental to FCI.
In the event that Recipient is required by law or legal process to disclose any of the Trade Secrets or Confidential
Information of FCI, Recipient shall provide FCI with prompt oral and written notice, unless notice is prohibited by law (in
which case notice shall be provided as early as may be legally permissible), of any such requirement, postpone
disclosure for the maximum time period permitted under applicable law, and allow FCI the opportunity to seek a
protective order or other appropriate remedy. Recipient agrees to cooperate with FCI in any reasonable efforts to
obtain such remedies, but this provision shall not be construed to require Recipient to undertake litigation or other
DocuSign Envelope ID: 96F4754F-0E73-44D6-AE45-22B03D87ABCA
10
legal proceedings on behalf of FCI.
Recipient will not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or copy FCI’s Trade Secrets or Confidential
Information. Recipient shall not, directly or indirectly (including in the conduct of its business or employment) use, or
permit to be used, the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information obtained from FCI to FCI’s detriment, whether or not

otherwise transfer or dispose of any of FCI’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information or any of the rights or
obligations granted or imposed on Recipient hereunder.

or implied representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Trade Secrets or Confidential
Information provided hereunder. All Trade Secrets or Confidential Information are provided “as is.”

relationship between the parties or upon the request of FCI, Recipient will deliver to FCI all memoranda, notes,
records, tapes, documentation, disks, manuals, files or other documents, and all copies thereof, concerning or
containing FCI’s Confidential Information or Trade Secrets that are in Recipient’s possession or control, whether made or
compiled by Recipient or furnished to Recipient by FCI, or, at FCI's written direction, destroy such materials, and
provide written certification to FCI that the information has been returned or destroyed. Each Party hereby agrees
that it will not retain any copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part of any of the other Party’s Trade
Secrets or Confidential Information.
Section 7. Term: This Agreement shall be deemed effective upon Recipient’s execution hereof and shall extend with
regard to Confidential Information until five (5) years after the date of final disclosure of Confidential Information
hereunder. Thereafter the Parties’ obligations hereunder survive and continue in effect with respect to any Trade
Secrets under applicable law.
Section 8. Remedies: Recipient acknowledges that the injury that FCI will suffer in the event of Recipient’s breach of
any covenant or agreement contained herein cannot be compensated by monetary damages alone, and the Parties
therefore agree that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedies or rights which FCI may have either under
this Agreement or otherwise, as such FCI shall be entitled to injunctive relief enjoining any such breach, or other
equitable relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction, without a requirement of posting bond as a condition thereof.
Without limitation on the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, or any other remedies and
damages available to either Party under applicable law, in the event that a Party is in breach or violation of this
Agreement, and as a result the non-breaching Party seeks enforcement of the terms and conditions hereof, the
breaching Party agrees to pay or reimburse the non-breaching Party for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees so
incurred by the non-breaching Party.
Section 9. Assignment: Neither Party shall have the ability to assign this Agreement, or its interest therein, without
the other Party’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void.
This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assignees.
Section 10. Legal Fees:
Should any litigation, arbitration, mediation or other legal proceeding be commenced concerning this Agreement, the
Party prevailing in such proceeding shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to
reimbursement by the non-prevailing Party of all of such prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs
incurred in connection with such proceeding. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

waiver of any other breach of the same, or any other, term or condition or of any similar right.

law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.

VII. Term and Termination
a. Term. The Term of this Agreement shall be effective as of the date first written above,
