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 Organization

The Infinite Visions Product line has three call centers. The call centers are located in Billings
Montana, Nashua New Hampshire and Tempe Arizona. These call centers are fully integrated
and work as one global call center. Every district is assigned a home call center, which means
that the majority of the calls will be answered by your assigned location. However if there are
no agents available at your assigned location then your call will be routed to the next available
agent at one of our other locations.
All software support calls are handled by Live Agents. Meaning that when you call into support
your call will be handled by the next available agent. The support department is divided into
multiple teams: Benefits Enrollment, Payroll/Human Resources, and General Ledger/All Other
(FAS, WHS and AR) modules. These “module-­‐specific” teams allow our support staff to focus on
a group of modules. A group of specialists assigned to each team handle calls quickly and
accurately.
Software Support Specialists are responsible for diagnosing and resolving client issues in a timely
and courteous manner.
Incident Tracking Numbers
Support’s goal is to resolve client’s issues as soon as possible. An incident tracking number is given to you
once an initial contact has been made with Support and it has been determined that the issue can’t be
resolved during the initial call. The open call number lets you easily track and reference specific open issues
with Support.
Calls resulting in bug fixes
Each call escalated as a bug is given a priority (1, 2, 3, and 4) according to the client’s needs/deadlines. The
goal of this structure is to clearly understand the importance of the issue and assign the priority for closure.
The support representative is responsible for setting the priority of the call. This measurement allows us to
better evaluate overall client satisfaction.
Priority 1 Call — System is down! No one is able to log in or perform any office functions.
Priority 2 Call — Issue affects a large number of users or a critical process that has no workaround. The issue
is time sensitive.
Priority 3 Call — Issue affects a large number of users or a critical process but has a temporary workaround.
Priority 4 Call — Issues affects a small number of users or workstations and there are other stations that can
perform the task.

Tyler Community
Tyler is uniquely qualified to leverage the combined experience of tens of thousands of
users with our staffs’ deep domain knowledge to bring a one-­‐of-­‐a-­‐kind interactive, mass
collaboration online community where our clients go to find answers. In the Tyler
Community Clients connect with other users and Tyler staff to share information, and
collaborate. In this interactive environment, individual knowledge is amplified
exponentially across the community.

Enhancements
The Infinite Visions Software is delivered per the specifications outlined during your
