MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR &CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: SEAN M. ROBINSON, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGE
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 2015
SUBJECT: AWARD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ANONYMOUS FRAUD, WASTE,
AND ABUSE HOTLINE
REVIEWED: CAROLYNN PETRO, ACTING CITY MANAGERO
PROJECT MANAGER: ALLAN KAUFMAN, SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
PROJECT MANAGER: ROSALEE WOOD, HUMAN RESOURCES INTERN AO
RECOMMENDATION
1. Award a one-year contract with three (3) annual renewal options for a Professional
Services Agreement (PSA) to The Network, Inc. for the establishment of an "Anonymous
Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Hotline"; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Master Services Agreement with The
Network, Inc.
BACKGROUND
Staff developed and issued a Request for Proposals modeled to include components the City
Council desired in the implementation of the Anonymous Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Hotline. On
June 27, 2014, the Request for Proposals was released to the nine (9) Hotline industry leaders
that Staff had identified as being potentially capable of providing the service standards required
to meet the City's needs.
On November 4, 2014, the City Council approved Staff's recommendation to develop a
Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with NAVEX Global to serve as the City's Hotline
Administrator. In addition, the City Council directed Staff to present a Staff Report priorto one-
year from the date of the agreement with NAVEX Global to include a review of the use of the
Hotline, analysis of costs incurred by the City, hotline utilization, and other recommendations.
On January 20, 2015, Staff apprised the City Council of discussions held with NAVEX Global
and the apparent inability to reach a mutually satisfactory consensus on the terms of the
5-1
Professional Services Agreement — Anonymous Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
Hotline

proposed contract documents. City Council directed Staff to enter into exclusive negotiations
with the second provider, The Network, Inc. Staff and the City Attorney's Office have worked
diligently to ensure the City's interests are protected as the City embarks on the implementation
of this new transparency tool.
DISCUSSION
Discussions with The Network, Inc. (TNW) have progressed considerably more rapidly than
with the previously recommended service provider, and TNW agreed to many of the revisions
to their standard Master Subscription Agreement ("MSA") requested by City Staff and the City
Attorney's Office. That being said, there are three items Staff and the City Attorney's Office
believed should be highlighted for City Council review. These include:
Renewal of Agreement: TNW's Master Subscription Agreement ("MSA") originally proposed
automatic renewal at the end of one year, without any limit on the number of renewals.
Because indefinite automatic renewals are not consistent with the City's practice, City staff and
the City Attorney's office discussed alternative language with TNW. After negotiation, TNW
agreed to cap the agreement to four years, with an initial term of one year and three successive
extensions of one year each. The MSA also includes a provision that TNW's invoice will serve
as written notice of expiration. Although the City usually requires that the contracting party
send a notice of expiration, rather than just an invoice, TNW has advised the City that the only
mechanism TNW has in place to notify their clients of expiration and need to renew is an
invoice. As such, City Staff recommends that the City accept TNW's proposed language.
Limited Indemnification by TNW: The City's standard contract includes a provision requiring
the contracting party to provide defense and indemnification of the City from any claims
asserted against the City arising out of or in connection with the contractor's performance of
services. However, in TNW's proposed MSA, TNW would only be obligated to indemnify the
City for claims for proprietary infringement, and in the event of such a claim, the City only has
limited remedies against TNW. Under TNW's proposed indemnification language, TNW may,
at its option, replace the infringing portion of the "Software as a Service" (SaaS) Offering;
modify the infringing portion of the SaaS Offering to make it non -infringing; procure the right of
the City to continue to use the infringing portion of the SaaS offering; or terminate the affected
portion of the SaaS Offering and refund the City any prepaid but unused fees for the infringing
portion of the SaaS Offering. As drafted, the City would not be able to look to TNW to defend
or indemnify the City for any other claims arising out of TNW's conduct in providing the
services. On the other hand, TNW seeks a broader indemnification from the City if TNW is
sued based on the City's use of their services. After discussion, the proposed MSA was
modified to limit the City's duty to defend or indemnify TNW by excluding any claims against
TNW to the extent such claims arise out of TNW's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
proposed MSA was modified to provide that TNW will not have a duty to indemnify the City to
the extent any claims against the City arise out of the City's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The limited indemnification provision offered by TNW appears to be standard for
these types of contracts and their position is similar to that taken by NAVEX. Also, the
proposed agreement provides that neither party will be liable for punitive or exemplary damages
awarded against the other party. City Staff and the City Attorney's Office believe that the City
will not be able to obtain a better indemnification obligation from any other company offering

similar services.
Insurance: The insurance provisions have been reviewed by the City's Risk Manager and the
JPIA, and the minimum recommended coverage amounts have been included in the proposed
agreement.
Next Steps - Outreach
Upon execution of the Hotline PSA, a public and employee outreach plan will be created.
Launch of the hotline will occur once the Hotline processes are defined and operational details
are determined, as outlined in the November 4, 2014 Staff Report. Some of the components
this outreach effort will include: creating a Hotline link that will be prominently placed on the
main page of the City's web site; issuing press releases regarding the Hotline to local media;
introduction of the Hotline in the City's newsletter and listsery services, and educational efforts
clarifying the function and/or purpose of the Hotline to the public and Staff by delineating
incidents that would merit its use versus more `general inquiries', which more appropriately
would be directed to the City's "Non -Emergency Customer Service Requests" portal, which also
will be highlighted.
Employees
The HR Manager will facilitate in-house training to Staff on the use and features of the Hotline.
The training will generate employee awareness, illustrating the City's offer of every opportunity
for filing of Hotline reports, and that every report will be reviewed and investigated confidentially
and without bias.
Upon completion of the in-house training, pocket cards will be distributed to staff as a reminder
of the Hotline telephone number and website address. Printed information (posters, calendars,
etc.) about the program will also be posted in the City's break rooms. As an internal best
practice, City Management will require that all new employees receive Hotline literature and
training as part of all new employee orientations.
Elected Officials and Committee
Staff, the City Attorney and the City's legal advisor recommend that Elected Officials,
Committee/Commission members, and certain independent contractors receive information that
provides an overview of the Hotline, its process, and how the Hotline should be used. These
groups would also be provided information on their reporting responsibilities at that time.
FISCAL IMPACT
Known costs
The costs outlined in the table below are for one year, with three (3) designated contract
extensions. If at the end of the agreement's four-year term, the City and The Network, Inc.
mutually agree to extend the agreement, the further length of the term and related costs will be
negotiated at that time. The specifics of services provided by the agreement are found in the
Sales Order Form (Exhibit A).

Staff crafted several hypothetical scenarios regarding the three service tiers offered by The
Network, Inc. Staff believes it is in the City's best interest to move forward with Tier 1, with
future amendments to the tiers with each of the one-year extensions of the agreement based
upon the report volume experienced during the first year of the agreement. Following is a table
which details the differentiations in pricing amongst the three tiers.
Overage assumes 50 phone and web reports and is included in Total
Unknown costs
As referenced in the November 4, 2014 Staff Report, potentially extensive unknown costs will
encompass professional fees of third -party experts who are expected to be used in connection
with certain types of reports. These costs are difficult to quantify as the number of Hotline
Reports that will warrant a third -party expert are not known. Additionally, the number of hours
and professional fee costs cannot be determined. However, Staff believes these elements
could significantly exceed the known costs arising from the City's agreement with the Network.
ALTERNATIVE
As an alternative to Staff's recommendation, the City Council could select a higher Tier option
than Tier 1. The Tier 2 option allows for 100 telephonic reports and 100 web -based reports on
an annual basis. The Tier 3 option allows for 150 telephonic reports and 150 web -based
reports on an annual basis. Council may wish to select a higher utilization tier in order to
potentially avoid the indeterminable overage levels the City may experience in the first year of
the hotline's implementation.

S. Mutual Confidentiality/Rights Reservation.
(a) Permitted and Restricted Uses of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.
(1) In connection with this Agreement, each party may disclose ("Disclosing Party") to the other party
("Receiving Party") certain Proprietary Information. "Proprietary Information" means collectively, Confidential
Information and Trade Secrets. "Confidential Information" means information other than Trade Secrets that
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 is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. With respect
to Customer, "Confidential Information" also includes any (i) Customer Data; (ii) Customer Content; (iii)
Reports, and (iv) any information, data, and documents of any kind regarding municipal or governmental
operations, systems and programs of Customer, and any information of any kind that is protected or
privileged from disclosure pursuant to any provision of governing law, including but expressly not limited to
the California Evidence Code, the California Ralph M. Brown Act (Cal. Gov. Code Section 54950 et seq.) (the
"Brown Act') and the California Public Records Act (Cal. Gov. Code Section 6250 et seq.) (the "Public Records
Act"), or any other federal or California statutory or common law privilege. No provision of these Subscription
Terms or any Sales Order shall constitute any waiver by Customer of the Brown Act or Public Records Act or
any other federal of state statutory or common law providing for the confidentiality of any of Customer's
Confidential Information. "Trade Secrets" means information deemed a trade secret under applicable law.
Proprietary Information and any derivative works thereto are the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing
Party (or a third party providing such information to the Disclosing Party).
(2) The Receiving Party will hold in confidence, protect such Proprietary Information from unauthorized
disclosure or access, using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own similar confidential information
(but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care). The Receiving Party will not distribute the
Proprietary Information or any portion thereof except to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and then
only to:
1793312-1
(i) employees, contractors and agents who have a need to know and who are subject to restrictions on
redistribution of the Proprietary Information at least as restrictive as those in this Agreement; and
(ii) those third parties whose professional involvement necessitates it, such as auditors, accountants, and
legal representatives.
5-15
The Receiving Party's obligations under this Agreement with regard to Confidential Information shall
remain in effect until such time as the Disclosing Party authorizes the Receiving Party to publicly disclose
such Confidential Information or public disclosure is required by court order. Without limiting the
foregoing, TNW's obligations under this Agreement with regard to Customer's Confidential Information
shall remain in effect as to any document or record exempt from public disclosure pursuant to the Public
Records Act, Brown Act and/or pursuant to any other privilege or provision of governing law; and the
Receiving Party's obligations under this Agreement with regard to the Trade Secrets shall remain in effect
for as long as such information shall remain a Trade Secret under applicable law.
(3) The Receiving Party further acknowledges and agrees that the disclosure of the Proprietary Information to
it does not confer upon Receiving Party any license, interest or rights of any kind in or to the Proprietary
Information other than as set forth in this Agreement or otherwise expressly agreed upon in writing by the
parties.
(b) The obligations set forth in this section do not apply to the following information:
(1) At the time of disclosure hereunder such information is generally available to the public;
(2) After disclosure hereunder such information becomes generally available to the public through means
other than a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party;
(3) The Receiving Party can demonstrate such information was in its possession prior to the time of disclosure
by Disclosing Party without confidentiality obligation;
(4) The information becomes available to the Receiving Party without confidentiality obligation from a third
party which is not legally prohibited from disclosing such information;
(5) The Receiving Party can demonstrate the information was developed by or for it independently without
the use of such information; or
(6) Disclosure is required under applicable law or regulation or in connection with a judicial proceeding, court
order or legal process served with respect to such information. If disclosure by Receiving Party is required by
applicable law or in connection with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served with respect to
such information, the Receiving Party will give the Disclosing Party notice prior to disclosing such information
to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Disclosing Party will be responsible for any reasonable costs the
Receiving Party incurs as a result of such compelled disclosure.
(c) Customer Data. CUSTOMER CONTENT, CUSTOMER DATA AND REPORTS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1) WITHIN
ANY SERVER ENVIRONMENT OWNED, MANAGED OR CONTROLLED BY TNW, IS MANAGED AS CUSTOMER'S
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
(d) Rights Reserved. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted in this Agreement, TNW reserves all rights,
title and interest, including all related intellectual property rights, in and to the Services and SaaS Offering, as well
as any derivative works of the foregoing and all of the foregoing constitute Proprietary Information of TNW. No
rights are granted to Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein; there are no implied rights, and
TNW reserves all rights not expressly granted to Customer. Customer agrees that any use of any of TNW's
trademarks or service marks will inure solely to the benefit of TNW and that Customer will not at any time acquire
any rights in TNW's trademarks or marks.
(e) Remedies. Each party acknowledges that (i) any use or threatened misuse of the Proprietary Information of
the other party, or (ii) either party's threatened or actual breach of license, security, access, disclosure or
confidentiality obligations will cause immediate irreparable harm to the other party for which there is no adequate
remedy at law. Accordingly, each party agrees that the other party will be entitled to seek immediate and
permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any such breach or threatened
1793312-1
5-16
breach by the other party. The Parties agree and stipulate that either party will be entitled to seek such injunctive
relief without posting a bond or other security; provided however that if the posting of a bond is a prerequisite to
obtaining injunctive relief, then a bond in the amount of $1000 will be sufficient.
(f) Other. Except as hereinafter provided, neither party shall use, publicize, or issue any press release which
includes the name, trademarks, or other proprietary identifying symbol of the other party or its affiliates, or
Customer Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of such other party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, TNW may name Customer as a customer of TNW. TNW will not otherwise claim or imply any
endorsement of its products or services by Customer without Customer's prior written consent.
(g) Customer's Compliance with Public Disclosure Statutes. TNW acknowledges and understands that Customer is
a municipal corporation and public entity of the State of California, and that as such, Customer is subject to the
provisions of the Brown Act and the Public Records Act, and other provisions of state law that may require, in
some circumstances, the disclosure of information and/or documents to the public. Nothing in this Section 5 or
any other provision of these Subscription Terms shall preclude or supersede Customer's obligations to comply with
any public disclosure requirements of the Brown Act, Public Records Act, and/or any other provision of governing
law. Customer agrees to provide TNW with reasonable prior notice of any request for disclosure of TNW's
Proprietary Information before making a determination to release such information to a third party, in order to
allow TNW sufficient time to oppose such disclosure.
6. Information and Security. In keeping with industry standards, TNW will take commercially reasonable steps
designed to protect the Customer Data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access or disclosure in accordance with
the following provisions. However, due to the nature of the Internet and the current state of technology,
Customer acknowledges that the prior sentence represents TNW's entire obligation with respect to preventing
such a breach or disclosure.
(a) Personally Identifiable Information. Customer acknowledges and agrees that TNW will collect, process, use
and/or store certain personally identifiable information or personal data ("PII"). TNW shall comply with all of the
following:
(1) TNW has established and shall maintain appropriate technological and organizational security measures to
protect against unauthorized access to any PII that is stored within its hosting infrastructure of its Services;
(2) TNW shall not utilize any PII for any purpose other than to provide any and all Services under these
Subscription Terms and applicable Sales Order;
(3) TNW shall not disclose any PII to any person not authorized by Customer except as necessary to comply
with federal or state law;
(4) TNW shall act solely on the instructions of Customer in respect to all PII, unless otherwise prohibited by
federal or state law;
(5) TNW shall inform Customer in a timely manner of any security breach regarding disclosure of PII, complaint
concerning disclosure or other unauthorized use of PII; and
(6) TNW shall be responsible for any non-compliance by its officers, directors, employees and any of its
subcontractors.
(b) Customer Content and Reports.
(1) In addition to subsection (a), and except as otherwise provided in this Section 6 or as required by governing
law, TNW shall not disclose, publish, or authorize others to disclose or publish, any account names, passwords,
PII, Customer Content, Reports, or information pertaining to the Services provided to TNW by Customer,
without the prior written approval of City Manager of Customer during the Term. In contracting with TNW
1793312-1
5-17
pursuant to these Subscription Terms , Customer grants TNW only a limited license to access and use
Customer Content for the sole purpose of providing the Services set forth in any applicable Sales Order.
(2) TNW is and shall be responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of all Customer Content and
Reports in or obtained pursuant to the Services. TNW is and shall be also responsible for maintaining a backup
of all Customer Content and Reports and for the timely recovery of such Customer Content and Reports in the
event the Services are interrupted. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, TNW's means of data backup
shall provide for recovery of Customer Content and Reports within twenty-four (24) hours or less on
Customer's business days. Furthermore, TNW shall establish and maintain a data privacy and information
security program which includes physical, technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards designed to
protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Customer Content and
Reports, and to protect against unauthorized disclosure, access to, or use of Customer Content and Reports.
In no case shall TNW's security measures be more stringent than those used to protect Customer Content and
Reports.
(3) TNW shall at all times also implement and maintain data security procedures and protocols such as third
party auditing (e.g., SSAE-16), penetration testing, internal privacy and non -disclosure policies meeting
industry standards for data systems, and other measures as necessary, to prevent, to the maximum extent
possible, unauthorized access to and/or disclosure of Customer Content and Reports. TNW shall require its
employees, software providers, subcontractors, other independent contractors and agents to execute non-
disclosure agreements prohibiting disclosure of, or allowing unauthorized access to, any Customer Content
and Reports.
(i) The SaaS Offering is made available by a hosting environment (which means servers and other
hardware and communications equipment owned, leased, managed or otherwise controlled by TNW or
on its behalf) located within the U.S. or the United Kingdom that is subject to the AICPA Service
Organization (SOC) reporting framework under AT (Attestation Standards) Section 101 engagements to
assess controls and compliance therewith. Under this framework, TNW is issued a SOC 2 Report annually,
a copy of which will be made available to Customer upon Customer's request.
(c) Safe Harbor. As of the effective date, TNW is certified pursuant to the EU/USA Safe Harbor program in effect to
address the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46. During the Term, TNW will use commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain such certification. Additionally in accordance with Article 17 of the EU Data Directive: (i) TNW shall
process Customer Data only on behalf of and for the benefit of Customer and to carry out TNW's obligations
pursuant to this Agreement or Customer's written instructions; and (ii) TNW shall implement appropriate technical
and organizational measures to protect Customer Data against actual or suspected accidental, intentional, or
unlawful destruction or accidental loss, and against unauthorized alteration, disclosure, acquisition or access, and
against all other unlawful forms of processing of such Customer Data.
7. Fees and Payment.
(a) Fees. Except as otherwise specified herein or in any Sales Order: (1) fees are based on services purchased
(including but not limited to the number of Authorized Users purchased) and not actual usage, (2) payment
obligations are non -cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (3) the number of User subscriptions
purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription Term stated on the Sales Order. If Customer
exceeds the number of Authorized Users or amount of services purchased, TNW may work with Customer to seek
to reduce Customer's usage so that it conforms to that limit. If, notwithstanding TNW's efforts, Customer is unable
or unwilling to abide by the usage limit purchased, Customer will execute an Order for additional quantities of the
applicable Services promptly upon TNW's request, and/or pay any invoice for excess usage in accordance with
7(b), and/or terminate the applicable Sales Order at the end of the then -current Term, subject to thirty (30) days
prior notice in accordance with Section 9(c).
7
1793312-1
5-18
(b) Payment. Customer will pay TNW the fees set forth in each Sales Order and payment shall be in U.S. Dollars.
Amounts undisputed in good faith are due in full within forty-five (45) days after the date of the invoice. Customer
is responsible for providing purchase orders, complete and accurate billing and contact requirements and
information and notifying TNW of any changes in such information. Any amounts not paid by the due date will be
subject to a late fee equal to one and one-half (1.5%) percent per month, or the maximum amount allowed by law
if less. Customer will be liable for all costs of collection of undisputed overdue amounts including, without
limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees TNW incurs.
(c) Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, TNW's fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental
assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by
any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer is responsible for paying
all Taxes associated with Customer's purchases hereunder, to the extent imposed on Customer by the applicable
taxing authority. If TNW has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under
this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides TNW
with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, TNW is solely
responsible for taxes assessable against it based on TNW's income, property and employees; and Customer has no
responsibility or obligation to pay any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments which, by law,
Customer is exempt from paying, provided, however, that Customer must procure a valid tax exemption certificate
as set forth in the previous sentence.
8. Warranties.

(60) days prior to the end of the then -relevant Term, TNW shall provide written notice to Customer that such Term

notify TNW in writing of its desire to renew or not to renew the Sales Order for an additional one (1) year Term. If
Customer notifies TNW of renewal, then the Sales Order shall renew for said additional Term provided TNW also
wishes to renew the Sales Order. If Customer notifies TNW of non -renewal, then the Sales Order shall terminate at
the end of the then -current Term. The per user / other unit pricing during any such renewal term shall be the same

terminated in either of the following situations:
(1) Either party may terminate the applicable Sales Order in -the event that a failure to fulfill obligations under
this Agreement and/or the Sales Order arises out of cause(s) beyond the control and without the negligence,

thirty (30) calendar days after the effective date of a termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer will
return to TNW or remove, delete and destroy all of TNW's property, including, without limitation, all copies of
TNW's Proprietary Information, and certify to TNW in writing that Customer has fully performed its obligations
under this Section, although Customer is entitled to maintain a copy in back-up for any compliance requirements
and/or any records preservation requirements under the Public Records Act, the California Government Code, or
other applicable provision of federal or state law.
(g) Return of Customer Content and Reports. Within sixty (60) calendar days after Customer's written request
following termination, TNW will deliver to Customer any and all Customer Content and Reports in TNW's
possession in a production environment via industry standard electronic files. TNW may invoice Customer or
require a prepayment of fees for this service at TNW's then -current rates. No earlier than sixty (60) calendar days
after TNW delivers all Customer Content and Reports to Customer, or if TNW has not received a written request
from Customer within sixty (60) days of termination, TNW may purge all Customer Content from its systems,
although TNW is entitled to maintain a copy in back-up for any compliance requirements. TNW shall also cause its
subcontractors and other independent contractors to destroy or securely dispose of all Customer Content and

10. Mutual Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by TNW
TNW shall indemnify and hold Customer and its elected officials, officers, attorneys, agents, employees,
designated volunteers, successors, assigns and those Customer agents serving as independent contractors in
the role of Customer officials (collectively "Customer Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all any
liabilities, losses, damages, causes of action or injuries, together with costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with any claims by a third party alleging that the SaaS Offering
infringes a valid registered United States copyright, trademark, or patent. If TNW determines in its own
discretion that the SaaS Offering is likely to so infringe, TNW shall, at its option:
(i) Replace the infringing portion of the SaaS Offering;
(ii) Modify the infringing portion of the SaaS Offering to make it non -infringing;
(iii) Procure the right for Customer to continue using the infringing portion of SaaS Offering, or
(iv) Terminate the affected portion of the SaaS Offering and refund any prepaid but unused fees to
Customer for the infringing portion of the SaaS Offering.
The foregoing remedies constitute Customer's exclusive remedies and TNW's entire liability with respect
to intellectual property infringement and misappropriation claims and actions against any of the
Customer Indemnitees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TNW will have no indemnity or remedy obligation
for claims of infringement resulting or alleged to result from: (i) any modification of the SaaS Offering not
10
1793312-1
5-21
made by TNW; (ii) Customer's failure, within a reasonable time frame, to implement any replacement or
modification of Services TNW provided; or (iii) to the extent caused by any combination, operation, or use
of the SaaS Offering with any programs or equipment not supplied or approved by TNW.
All requirements of this Section apply regardless of insurance coverage.
(b) Indemnification by Customer.
(1) Proprietary Infringement. Subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in Section 11, Customer shall
indemnify and hold TNW harmless from and against any and all any liabilities, losses, damages, causes of
action or injuries, together with costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in
connection with any claims by a third party alleging that the Customer Content infringes a valid registered
United States copyright, trademark, or patent.
(2) Subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in Section 11, to the extent authorized by governing law

action or injuries, together with costs and expenses, whether actual, alleged, or threatened (including without
limitation reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, interest, expert witness fees, and other reasonable defense
costs incurred by TNW), (hereinafter collectively "TNW Claims"), which arise out of, pertain to or relate to any
action, proceeding or claim made or brought against TNW by any Reporter or other third party to the extent
that such Customer Claims were caused by or arise from Customer's breach of any applicable Sales Order or
these Subscription Terms or Customer's negligence, except to the extent such TNW Claims arise from the sole
ordinary negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the TNW Indemnitees as determined by final
arbitration or court decision, or to any claim covered by TNW's indemnity obligation in Section 10(a)(1).
(3) Customer shall defend the TNW Indemnitees in any action or actions filed in connection with any such
Claims with counsel of Customer's choice. However, TNW may hire counsel at TNW's own expense to monitor
the proceedings.
(4) Customer's duty to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the TNW Indemnitees as set forth in this Section
10(b) shall not include the authority to enter into any settlement or compromise on behalf of TNW or any of
the TNW Indemnitees that requires any of the TNW Indemnitees to expend TNW funds or that requires TNW
to take any actions with respect to TNW's Services, programs or activities, or any settlement or compromise
