EXHIBIT A

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THE ENTERPRISE CONTRACT

The Contractor and Customers acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Term Contract, which includes the Enterprise Standard Terms and Conditions and these Additional Terms and Conditions to the Enterprise Contract.

The following subsections are added to the Enterprise Standard Terms and Conditions:

Section 18: Punchout Catalog and Electronic Invoicing.

The Contractor is encouraged to provide a MFMP punchout catalog. The punchout catalog provides an alternative mechanism for suppliers to offer the State access to Products awarded under the Term Contract. The punchout catalog also allows for direct communication between the MFMP eProcurement System and a supplier’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which can reflect real-time Product inventory/availability information.

Through utilization of the punchout catalog model, a Florida buyer will “punch out” to a supplier’s website. Using the search tools on the supplier’s Florida punchout catalog site, the user selects the desired Products. When complete, the user exits the supplier’s punchout catalog site and the shopping cart (full of Products) is “brought back” to MFMP. No orders are sent to a supplier when the user exits the supplier’s punchout catalog site. Instead, the chosen Products are “brought back” to MFMP as line items in a purchase order. The user can then proceed through the normal workflow steps, which may include adding/editing the Products (i.e., line items) in the purchase order. An order is not submitted to a supplier until the user approves and submits the purchase order, at which point the supplier receives an email with the order details.

The Contractor may supply electronic invoices in lieu of paper-based invoices for those transactions processed through MFMP. Electronic invoices may be submitted to the Customer through one of the mechanisms as listed below:

1) EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

This standard establishes the data contents of the Invoice Transaction Set (810) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used for invoicing via the Ariba Network (AN) for catalog and non-catalog goods and services.

2) PO Flip via AN This online process allows Contractors to submit invoices via the AN for catalog and non-catalog goods and services. Contractors have the ability to create an invoice directly from their inbox in their AN account by simply "flipping" the PO into an invoice. This option does not require any special software or technical capabilities.

The Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third-party provider of MFMP, a State contractor, the right and license to use, reproduce, transmit, distribute, and publicly display within MFMP. In addition, Additional Terms and Conditions to the Enterprise Contract (1/18/2024 Version) the Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third-party provider the right and license to reproduce and display within MFMP the Contractor's trademarks, system marks, logos, trade dress, or other branding designation that identifies the Products made available by the Contractor under the Term Contract.

Section 19: Financial Consequences.

Failure to comply with the requirements of the Term Contract will result in the imposition of financial consequences. The following financial consequences will apply for the Contractor’s failure to meet the performance metric standard and due date corresponding with the deliverables under the Term Contract. The Customer and the Contractor may agree to add additional Financial Consequences on an as-needed basis beyond those stated herein to apply to that Customer’s resultant contract or purchase order. The State of Florida reserves the right to withhold payment or implement other appropriate remedies, such as Term Contract termination or nonrenewal, when the Contractor has failed to comply with the provisions of the Term Contract.

The financial consequences below will be paid and received by the Department of Management Services within 30 calendar days from the due date specified by the Department. These financial consequences below are individually assessed for failures over each target period beginning with the first full month or quarter of the Term Contract performance and every month or quarter, respectively, thereafter.

SECTION 21: LEASE AND RENTAL AGREEMENTS.

a. Equipment leases and rentals are subject to the Terms and Conditions as set forth in the Master Agreement and Canon U.S.A., Inc.’s applicable Supplemental Documents, which are attached to the Master Agreement, except as provided in subsection g., “Early Termination for Convenience of Straight Leases.”

b. Contract users will not sign lease agreements. The purchase document referencing Master Agreement number 187646 and Contract number 44100000-24-NASPO-ACS will be sufficient.

c. To initiate a lease or rental, Purchasing Entity may issue a Purchase Order (“PO”) and reference the type of lease or rental (FMV Lease, Straight Lease, Capital Lease, Short-Term Rental or Cancellable Rental) on the PO or may simply sign other transactional documents deemed acceptable to the parties, providing Contractor does not provide the Purchasing Entity with any documents (besides EULA’s) that have not been approved by the Lead State.

d. Assignment: Contractor may assign, solely for financing purposes, upon written notification to and subsequent approval by the State of Florida, their right title and interest in and to: (i) the Products subject to the Lease Agreement; (ii) all payments and other amounts due and to become due thereunder with respect to the Products; and (iii) all rights and remedies under this Participating Addendum with respect to the Products, such payments and other amounts due.

Any such assignment however, does not excuse Contractor from fulfilling their obligations outlined in the terms and conditions of either the NASPO ValuePoint Master Contract #187646 or the Participating Addendum. Contractor intends to assign, solely for financing purposes, rights as set forth immediately above and this paragraph constitutes the required written notification to the State of Florida.

All lease and rental programs must remain with the Contractor, Authorized Dealers, Contractor’s leasing partners, or third-party financial institutions throughout the term of the agreement.

e. End of Term Notification: Contractor must notify a Purchasing Entity, in writing, of their End of Term options at least sixty (60) to ninety (90) days prior to the end of any Initial Lease or Rental Term. Such notification may include, but not be limited to, the following:

i. Any acquisition or return options, based on the type of lease or rental agreement;

ii. Any renewal options, if applicable; and/or

iii. Hard drive removal and surrender cost, if applicable.

f. End of Term Options: If a Purchasing Entity desires to exercise a purchase, renewal, or return of the Equipment, it shall give Contractor at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to the expiration of such lease or rental term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Purchasing Entity fails to notify Contractor of its intent with respect to the exercise of a purchase, renewal, or return of the Equipment, the Initial Lease or Rental Term shall be terminated on the date as stated in the Order and removal of the Product will be mutually arranged.

g. Early Termination for Convenience of Straight Leases: If a Purchasing Entity terminates a Straight Lease for convenience, the Purchasing Entity must pay, within a maximum of 60 calendar days after the requested termination, the difference of rates between the Straight Lease period which was selected at the time of order and the longest Straight Lease term which was fulfilled multiplied by the number of months the Purchasing Entity held the device.

For example: a Purchasing Entity leases item number C3926i at the discounted price of

$3,134.80 for the 60-month Straight Lease rate of 0.02255 times $3,134.80, or $70.69 per month, but wishes to Terminate for Convenience after 13 months. The Purchasing Entity will pay the difference calculated by taking the Rate of the longest Straight Lease term which was fulfilled (in this instance, the 12-month rate, which is 0.08962) times the number of months the device was held by the Purchasing Entity (13) times the discounted price of the Unit ($3,134.80), and then subtracting from that number the payments already made.

In this instance, the payment calculation would be (0.08962 * 13 * $3,134.80) – (0.02255

* 13 * $3,134.80) = ($3,652.23) – ($918.97) = $ 2,733.26.

If a Purchasing Entity wishes to terminate a Straight Lease for convenience before the term of the shortest Straight Lease offered by the Contractor, the Purchasing Entity will convert the

Straight Lease to the Florida Post-Hoc Lease-Cancellation Rate (FLPL Rate) and pay, within a maximum of 60 calendar days after the requested termination, the difference between the rate of the Straight Lease period which was selected by the Purchasing Entity at the time of order and the FLPL Rate multiplied by the number of months the Purchasing Entity held the device.

For example: a Purchasing Entity leases item number C3926i at the discounted price of $3,134.80 for the 60-month Straight Lease rate of 0.02255 times $3,134.80, or $70.69 per month, but wishes to Terminate for Convenience after 10 months. The Purchasing Entity will pay the difference calculated by taking the FLPL Rate (0.1000) times the number of months the device was held by the Purchasing Entity (10) times the discounted price of the Unit ($3,134.80), and then subtracting from that number the payments already made.

In this instance, the payment calculation would be (0.1000 * 10 * $3,134.80) – (0.02255 * 10 * $3,134.80) = ($3,134.80) – ($706.90) = $2,427.90.

SECTION 22: PRODUCT INSALLATION AND INVOICING

Unless otherwise agreed to by both parties, signing the delivery and acceptance (“D&A”) certificate constitutes Acceptance of the Device(s) and allows Contractor to invoice for the Device(s). Failure to sign the D&A or reject the Device(s) within the foregoing five (5) day period shall be deemed as Acceptance by the Purchasing Entity.

Contractor will provide timely billing and Purchasing Entity will notify Contractor, in writing, of any billing concern. In order for Contractor to generate accurate service invoices, Purchasing Entities shall provide meter reads within the Contractor(s) requested timeframe.

Invoices that are generated without receiving the proper meter-read information from the Purchasing Entity will not be considered inaccurate.

The Purchasing Entity shall provide written notice of any alleged invoicing issue(s) and the Contractor will be allowed a thirty (30) day cure period to address any such issue. Failure on the Contractors part to maintain accurate invoicing shall result in a $25.00 per instance credit on the following month’s invoice.

SECTION 23: NOT SPECIFICALLY PRICED (NSP) ITEMS

Specifically Priced (NSP) items compliment or enhance Canon’s Products and/or Services offered under the resulting Master Contract, and may be purchased as a stand-alone option. NSP items will not include:

i) Interactive White boards;

ii) Computers, monitors, or other related items;

iii) Fax machines;

iv) Overhead Projectors; and

v) Cameras.

NSP items may only be acquired through the Contractor or their Authorized Dealers and must be reported quarterly with all other sales under the resulting Master Contract. NSP items must be priced at a minimum discount of 15% from MSRP or List Price.

SECTION 24: SHOWROOM EQUIPMENT

Upon request by a Purchasing Entity, showroom Equipment for Groups A and B may be converted to a purchase, lease, or rental providing the following conditions are met:

a. The meter count on Group A and Group B Devices does not exceed 10,000 copies total (i.e. b&w and color combined); and

b. The Device must be discounted by at least 5% off the Master Contract pricing for that same Device; and

c. The Purchasing Entity and the Contractor must indicate on the Order that the Device is a showroom model.

SECTION 25: SOFTWARE

Purchasing Entities that acquire software shall be subject to the license agreements distributed with such software. Software subscriptions shall not be subject to automatic renewals, unless otherwise agreed to in an Order. Purchasing Entities shall have the option to finance software subscriptions by utilizing Contractor lease and rental rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict in language between an end user license agreement (EULA) and the Master Contract, the language in the Master Contract will supersede and control, unless otherwise agreed to by a Participating State or Entity. In addition, any language in a EULA which violates a Participating State’s constitution or a statute of that state; or violates the laws of a local entity making a purchase, will be deemed void, and of no force or effect.

SECTION 26: MAINTENANCE SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS

Purchasing Entities are subject to the Contractor’s Standard Service Levels as outlined in the Master Contract, Contractor’s Supplemental Documents, or as otherwise negotiated by the Participating State or Entity.

SECTION 27: MPS STATEMENT OF WORK TEMPLATE

All MPS engagements shall require the Contractor and the Purchasing Entity to complete a detailed statement of work, similar to the format provided in Master Contract Attachment 3 (Canon Sample MPS Agreement Terms and Conditions) of the NASPO ValuePoint Master Contract.

Additionally, Purchasing Entity shall be expected to adhere to the requirements outlined in Master Contract Attachment 4 (Canon Sample MPS Customer Expectations Document), prior to the initiation of any engagement.

4.2 Suspension of Work and Termination.

4.2.1 Suspension of Work. The Department may, in its sole discretion, suspend any or all activities under the Term Contract, at any time, when it is in the best interest of the State of Florida to do so. The Department will provide the Contractor written notice outlining the particulars of the suspension. After receiving a suspension notice, the Contractor must comply with the notice and will cease the performance of the Term Contract. Suspension of work will not entitle the Contractor to any compensation for services not performed or commodities not delivered during the suspension period nor for any additional compensation.

4.2.2 Termination for Convenience. The Term Contract may be terminated by the

Department, by written notice to the Contractor thirty (30) calendar days in advance, in whole or in part at any time, when the Department determines in its sole discretion that it is in the Department’s interest to do so. The Contractor shall not furnish any Product after it receives the notice of termination, except as necessary to complete

SP approved version 08-28-2024 Page 5 of 20 the continued portion of the Term Contract, or a continued purchase off the Term Contract, if any. The Contractor will not be entitled to recover any cancellation charges or lost profits. If the Term Contract is terminated before performance is completed, the Contractor will be paid only for that work satisfactorily performed for which costs can be substantiated. Such payment, however, may not exceed an amount which is the same percentage of any Customer contract price as the amount of work satisfactorily performed. All work in progress will become the property of the Customer and will be turned over promptly by the Contractor.

4.2.3 Termination for Cause. The Department may terminate the Term Contract if the

Contractor fails to (i) on multiple occasions, timely deliver Products purchased by Customers, (ii) on multiple occasions, maintain adequate progress on Customer purchases, thus endangering performance, (iii) honor any term of the Term Contract, or (iv) abide by any statutory, regulatory, or licensing requirement. The Department may, at its sole discretion, (i) immediately terminate the Term Contract, (ii) notify the Contractor of the deficiency and require that the deficiency be corrected within a specified time, otherwise the Term Contract will terminate at the end of such time, or (iii) take other action deemed appropriate by the Department. The Contractor shall continue work on any work not terminated.

Except for defaults of subcontractors at any tier, the Contractor will not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform arises from events completely beyond the control, and without the fault or negligence, of the Contractor. If the failure to perform is caused by the default of a subcontractor at any tier, and if the cause of the default is completely beyond the control of both the Contractor and the subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either, the Contractor will not be liable for any excess costs for failure to perform, unless the subcontracted Products were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time for the Contractor to meet the required delivery schedule.

SECTION 5. PURCHASES OFF THE TERM CONTRACT.

5.1 Purchases. By executing the Term Contract, the Contractor agrees to allow Customers to make purchases off the Term Contract. Purchases from Customers other than the Department are independent of the agreement between the Department and the Contractor, and the Department shall not be a party to such transaction. Customers’ purchases off the Term Contract are limited to Products offered under the Term Contract, and no additional Products may be provided under a purchase off the Term Contract.

5.2 Purchase Submission. For any purchases off the Term Contract, either the contract (as defined in Rule 60A-1.001, F.A.C.) must be executed between the Customer and Contractor, or the purchase order (as defined in Rule 60A-1.001, F.A.C.) must be issued by the Customer to the Contractor, no later than the last day of the Term Contract’s term to be considered timely. Contracts executed, or purchase orders issued, after the last day of the Term Contract’s term shall be considered void.

The Customer may attach additional terms and conditions specific to its particular purchase made off the Term Contract, which are considered Special Conditions. The term “Special Conditions” does not include any Contractor-provided documents, including attachments or standard preprinted forms, service agreements, end user agreements, product literature, or “shrink wrap” terms accompanying or affixed to a Product, whether written or electronic, or terms incorporated onto the Contractor’s order or fiscal forms or other documents forwarded by the Contractor for payment.

However, if an extended pricing plan offered in the Term Contract is agreed upon by the Customer and Contractor and extends more than forty-eight (48) months beyond the end of the Term Contract, the agreed upon extended pricing plan terms shall govern the maximum duration of the purchase. The Contractor is required to fulf ill timely purchases that extend performance beyond the Term Contract term even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the Term Contract.

SECTION 6. PAYMENT AND FEES.

6.1 Pricing. The Contractor shall not exceed the pricing set forth in the Term Contract documents.

6.2 Best Pricing Offer. During the term of the Term Contract, if the Department or Customer becomes aware of better pricing offered by the Contractor for substantially the same or a smaller quantity of a Product outside the Term Contract, but upon the same or similar terms of the Term Contract, then the Department or Customer may request that the Contractor immediately reduce to the lower price.

6.3 Price Decreases. The following price decrease terms will apply to the Term Contract:

6.3.1 Quantity Discounts. The Contractor may offer additional discounts for one-time delivery of large single orders. The Customer should seek to negotiate additional price concessions on quantity purchases of any Products offered under the Term Contract.

6.3.2 Sales Promotions. In addition to decreasing prices for the balance of the Term Contract term due to a change in market conditions, the Contractor may conduct sales promotions involving price reductions for a specified lesser period. If conducting a sales promotion, the Contractor must submit documentation to the Department’s Contract Manager identifying the proposed: (1) starting and ending dates of the promotion, (2) Products involved, and (3) promotional prices compared to then-authorized prices. The Contractor shall provide notice to Customers of the promotion and shall make the promotional prices available to all Customers.

6.3.3 Equitable Adjustment. The Department may, in its sole discretion, make an equitable adjustment in the Term Contract terms or pricing if pricing or availability of supply is affected by extreme and unforeseen volatility in the marketplace, that is, by circumstances that satisfy all the following criteria: (1) the volatility is due to causes wholly beyond the Contractor’s control, (2) the volatility affects the marketplace or industry, not just the particular Term Contract source of supply, (3) the effect on pricing or availability of supply is substantial, and (4) the volatility so affects the Contractor that continued performance of the Term Contract would result in a substantial loss.

6.4 Purchase Prerequisites. The Contractor may be required to accept the State of Florida Purchasing Card and MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) purchase orders. The Contractor must ensure that entities receiving payment directly from Customers under this Term Contract must have met the following requirements:

• Have an active registration with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations

SP approved version 08-28-2024 Page 8 of 20 has instituted MyFloridaMarketPlace, a statewide eProcurement system pursuant to section 287.057(24), Florida Statutes (F.S.). All payments issued by Agencies to registered vendors for purchases of Commodities or Contractual Services under Chapter 287, F.S., shall be assessed the Transaction Fee of one percent (1.0%) of the total amount of the payments received from the State or Eligible Users, as prescribed by Rule 60A-1.031, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), or as may otherwise be established by law. Vendors shall pay the Transaction Fee and are subject to automatic deduction of the Transaction Fee, when automatic deduction becomes available. Vendors shall submit any monthly reports required pursuant to Rule 60A-1.031, F.A.C. All such reports and payments are subject to audit. The Agency will have grounds for declaring the vendor in default if the vendor fails to comply with the payment of the Transaction Fee or reporting of payments, which may subject the vendor to being suspended from business with the State of Florida.

6.6 Exclusivity. The Term Contract is not an exclusive license to provide the Products described in the Term Contract. The Department may, without limitation and without recourse by the Contractor, contract with other vendors to provide the same or similar Products.

SECTION 7. PERFORMANCE

7.1 Warranty of Ability to Perform. Upon the effective date of the Term Contract, and each year on the anniversary date of the Term Contract, the Contractor shall submit to the Department a completed PUR 7801, Vendor Certif ication Form. The Contractor warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, proceeding, or investigation, or any other legal or f inancial condition, that would in any way prohibit, restrain, or diminish the Contractor’s ability to satisfy its Term Contract obligations.

Additionally, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Department in writing if its ability to perform is compromised in any manner during the term of the Term Contract (including potential inability to renew the Term Contract due to section 287.138 or 908.111, F.S.) or if it or its suppliers, subcontractors, or consultants under the Term Contract are placed on the Suspended Vendor, Convicted Vendor, Discriminatory Vendor, Forced Labor Vendor, or Antitrust Violator Vendor Lists. The Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any delays in performance and shall inform the Department of the steps the Contractor is taking or will take to do so, and the projected actual completion (or delivery) time. If the Contractor believes a delay in performance by the Department has caused or will cause the Contractor to be unable to perform its obligations on time, the Contractor shall promptly so notify the Department and use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations on time notwithstanding the Department’s delay.

7.2 Further Assurances. The parties shall, with reasonable diligence, do all things and provide all reasonable assurances as may be necessary to complete the requirements of the Term Contact, and each party shall provide such further documents or instruments requested by the other party as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to give effect to the Term Contract and to carry out its provisions. The Department is entitled at all times, upon request, to be advised as to the status of work being done by the Contractor and the details thereof.

7.3 Assignment. The Contractor shall not sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, duties or obligations under the Term Contract without the prior written consent of the Department. In the event of any assignment, the Contractor remains secondarily liable for performance of

SP approved version 08-28-2024 Page 9 of 20 the Term Contract, unless the Department expressly waives such secondary liability. The Department may assign the Term Contract with prior written notice to Contractor of its intent to do so.

7.4 Employees, Subcontractors, and Agents.

7.4.1 Subcontractors. The Contractor will not subcontract any work under the Term Contract without prior written consent of the Department. The Contractor shall obtain prior written consent using the process identif ied on the Department’s website: Subcontractor/Dealer/Reseller Forms / Vendor Resources / State Purchasing / Business Operations - Florida Department of Management Services (myflorida.com). The use of the term “subcontractor” may refer to affiliates, resellers, dealers, distributors, partners, teammates, and all other third parties utilized by the Contractor at any tier under the Term Contract. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that its subcontractors providing commodities and performing services in furtherance of the Term Contract do so in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Term Contract. By execution of the Term Contract, the Contractor acknowledges that it will not be released of its contractual obligations to Customers because of any failure of a subcontractor. The Contractor is fully responsible for satisfactory completion of all work performed under the Term Contract. The Contractor’s use of a subcontractor not approved by the Department will be considered a material breach of the Term Contract.

7.4.2 Independent Contractor. The Contractor and its employees, agents, representatives, and subcontractors are not employees or agents of the Department or the State and are not entitled to the benefits of Department or State employees. Neither the Customer nor the State will be bound by any acts or conduct of the Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents. The Contractor shall include this provision in all of its subcontracts under the Term Contract.

7.5 Force Majeure, Notice of Delay, and No Damages for Delay. The Contractor will not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the negligence of the Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents contributed to the delay and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, lightning strikes, fires, f loods, or other similar cause wholly beyond the Contractor’s control, or for any of the foregoing that affect suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to the Contractor.

In case of any delay the Contractor believes is excusable, the Contractor shall notify the Department in writing of the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either (i) within ten (10) calendar days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first arose, if the Contractor could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result;

or (ii) if a delay is not reasonably foreseeable, within five (5) calendar days after the date the Contractor first had reason to believe that a delay could result. THE FOREGOING WILL

CONSTITUTE THE CONTRACTOR’S SOLE REMEDY OR EXCUSE WITH RESPECT TO

ANY DELAY except if such delay is caused by the fraud, bad faith, or active interference of the Department. Providing notice in strict accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy, and a rebuttable presumption of prejudice will exist based on Contractor’s untimely notice. The Contractor shall not assert any claim for damages related to such delay. The Contractor will not be entitled to an increase in the Term Contract price or payment of any kind from the Department for direct, indirect, consequential, impact, or other costs, expenses, or damages, including costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising
