Exhibit B
Maintenance and Support Agreement
1. Term. We provide maintenance and support services on an annual basis. The initial term
commences on July 1, 2015 and remains in effect for one (1) year. The term will renew
automatically for additional one (1) year terms unless terminated in writing by either party
at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
2. Maintenance and Support Fees. Your initial maintenance and support fees for the Tyler
Software licensed to you are listed in Exhibit A. Those amounts are payable in accordance
with the terms of the Third Amendment. We reserve the right to suspend maintenance and
support services if you fail to pay undisputed maintenance and support fees within sixty (60)
days of the due date. We will reinstate maintenance and support services only if you pay all
past due maintenance and support fees, including all fees for the periods during which
services were suspended.
3. Maintenance and Support Services. As long as you are trained and certified on the Tyler
Software, and timely pay your maintenance and support fees, we will, consistent with our
then-current Support Call Process:
3.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and
workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards, to conform the Tyler Software
to the warranty set forth in the Third Amendment; provided, however, that if you
modify the Tyler Software without our consent, our obligation to provide maintenance
and support services on and warrant the Tyler Software will be void;
3.2 provide telephone support during our established support hours;
3.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software in
order to provide maintenance and support services;
3.4 provide you with a copy of all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and
enhancements) that we make generally available without additional charge to
customers who have a maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
3.5 support prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with our then-current release
life cycle policy.
4. Client Responsibilities. We will use all reasonable efforts to perform any maintenance and
support services remotely. Currently, we use a third-party secure unattended connectivity
tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, you agree to maintain a high-
speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You agree to

provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably
require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to
assist with proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security
protocols. If we can’t resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide
onsite services. In such event, you agree to provide us with full and free access to the Tyler
Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the
equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably
necessary for us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us.
We strongly recommend that you also maintain a VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
5. Excluded Services. Maintenance and support fees do not include fees for the following
services: (a) initial installation or implementation of the Tyler Software; (b) onsite
maintenance and support (unless Tyler cannot remotely correct a defect in the Tyler
Software); (c) application design; (d) other consulting services; (e) maintenance and support
of an operating system or hardware; (f) support outside our normal business hours as listed
in our then-current Support Call Process; or (g) installation, training services, or third party
product costs related to a new release. Requested maintenance and support services
beyond those outlined in this section will be billed to you at our then current rates. We do
not guarantee resolution of a Defect in a version of the Tyler Software Products older than
one version behind the then-current release. We reserve the right to decline support calls
from users who have not received the required training and certification on the Tyler
Software.
6. Current Support Call Process. Our current Support Call Process for the Tyler Software is
attached to this Exhibit C at Schedule 1.

Support Channels
Tyler Technologies, Inc. provides the following channels of software support:
(1) Telephone – for urgent or complex questions, users receive toll-free, unlimited telephone software
support.
(2) Email – for less urgent situations, users may submit unlimited emails directly to the software
support group. Email will be used for responses.
(3) On-line submission – for less urgent and project-based questions, users may create unlimited
support incidents through the customer relationship management portal available at the Tyler
Technologies website.
(4) Tyler Community – an on-line resource, Tyler Community provides a venue for all Tyler clients with
current maintenance agreements to support one another, share best practices and resources, and
access documentation.
During the Implementation to Support handoff meeting, at the conclusion of the client’s project, Tyler
representatives will provide the most current toll-free telephone number and email address for submitting
support incidents, based on the software licensed.
Support Availability
Our established software support hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM Central Time.
Tyler’s holiday schedule is outlined below. There will be no support coverage on these days.
New Year’s Day Thanksgiving Day
Memorial Day Day after Thanksgiving
Independence Day Christmas Eve
Labor Day Christmas Day
The hours and holiday schedule set forth above does not apply to users of Tyler Public Safety, who have
24/7/365 access to software support personnel for critical issues. Each incident will be billed at the hourly

rate and minimum charges, according to the terms of our then-current Tyler Public Safety 24/7/365 Support
document. Our current Tyler Public Safety 24/7/365 Support document is provided below.
Issue Handling
Incident Tracking
When a support incident cannot be resolved during its initiation, the client receives an incident tracking
number for that issue. The incident tracking number is used to track and reference open issues when clients
contact support.
Incident Escalation
Tyler’s software support consists of four levels of personnel:
(1) Software Support Analysts – front-line representatives
(2) Software Support Advisors – more senior in their support role, the Advisors assist Software Support
Analysts and take on escalated issues
(3) Software Support Team Leads – responsible for the day-to-day supervision of Analysts and Advisors
and may assist in incident escalations
(4) Software Support Managers – responsible for the management of support teams for either a single
product or a product group
On occasion, the priority or immediacy of a software support incident may change after initiation. Tyler
encourages clients to communicate the level of urgency or priority of software support issues so that we can
respond appropriately. A software support incident can be escalated by any of the following methods:
(1) Telephone – for immediate response, call toll-free to either escalate an incident’s priority or to
escalate an issue through management channels as described above.
(2) Email – clients can send an email to software support in order to escalate the priority of an issue
(3) On-line Support Incident Portal – by logging into the client incident portal and referencing the
appropriate incident tracking number, clients can modify the priority of an issue.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority number, which corresponds to the client’s needs and deadlines. The
client is responsible for reasonably setting the priority of the incident per the below chart. The goal of this
structure is to clearly understand and communicate the importance of the issue and to describe expected
responses and resolutions.

Hardware and Other Systems
If in the process of diagnosing a software support issue it is discovered that a peripheral system or its
software is the cause of the issue, Tyler will notify the client so that the client may contact the support
agency for that peripheral system. Tyler cannot support or maintain third-party software or hardware.
In order for Tyler to provide the highest level of software support, the client bears the following
responsibility related to hardware and software:
(1) All infrastructure executing Tyler software shall be managed by the client.
(2) Support contracts for all third-party software (ex: operating systems, database management
systems) associated with Tyler software shall be maintained. Tyler does not support these third-
party products.
(3) Daily database backups must be performed; client shall verify the backups are successful.
