Recitals This Agreement is made and entered into with respect to the following facts: A. The TAP® program (“TAP”) is a regional smart-card program developed as a cooperative effort amongst participating public transit operators (“TAP Participants”) in Los Angeles County providing for the electronic payment of inter - and intra-agency fares via the use of TAP devices on such TAP Participants’ universal fare system (UFS) fareboxes, driver control unit light validators (DCU/LVs), bus mobile validators (BMVs) and other fare validators installed on TAP Participants’ transit fleet (e.g., bus, rail, among other transit vehicles); B. LACMTA manages the daily operations of TAP (including system configuration, testing, customer service, financial settlement, and operational oversight). As between the Parties, any (i) application that resides on the TAP card; and (ii) software and data stored on the TAP cards or devices that are used for all transit automatic fare collection purposes (including the loading of stored value or passes, the collection of fares, and the validation of the fare products issued on behalf of the TAP Participants) is owned by LACMTA and its third-party contractor. C. Public transit patrons that ride LACMTA transit or TAP Participants’ transit may pay the transit fare using a TAP card that is loaded with TAP Stored Value or EZ® Transit Pass products (“TAP Fare Products”), or TAP Participant-specific fare products (for example, but not limited to, Metro 30-day pass, Foothill 30-day pass, Santa Clarita Day Pass) (“TAP Participant Fare Products”). The TAP Fare Products or TAP Participant Fare Products may sometimes be referred to individually or collectively in this Agreement as the “Fare Products”. D.

Seller shall sell Fare Products and/or add funds to a customer’s TAP account (such latter transaction may be referred to hereinafter as a “TAP Account Deposit”) through use of a RPOS at the location(s) listed in Exhibit B attached hereto, and at such other locations as may be requested by Seller from time to time, subject to LACMTA’s prior written approval (the “Seller Location(s)”). Furthermore Seller shall only operate the RPOS device(s) at the approved Seller Locations; any change of location in the use of any RPOS device must be coordinated with LACMTA and shall require LACMTA’s prior written approval. b. Seller shall sell TAP cards and Fare Products at rates established by LACMTA (and/or the applicable TAP Participant) as programmed in the RPOS, and shall not deviate therefrom. In the event Seller fails to perform according to this covenant, LACMTA shall have the absolute right to immediately terminate this Agreement, and Section 1.b. would apply. The rates for the Fare Products may be updated from time to time by LACMTA and/or the applicable TAP Participant, each in its sole discretion, in which event the new applicable rates shall be automatically programmed in the RPOS. In the event any Fare Product rates are to be modified, LACMTA shall provide Seller with advance written notice of such change(s) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change(s). c. Seller shall maintain all printed material, time schedules, folders, circulars and bulletins supplied by LACMTA and/or its agents and shall, to the best of its ability, furnish to the public complete and accurate information in accordance therewith and shall conform to all instructions and rules which may be issued by LACMTA or its agents in connection with the Fare Products. d.

Seller acknowledges and agrees that as a public transit operator, it desires to sell transit fares as a public service, which it deems to be a benefit to itself since the ability to sell transit fares serves its customers and the transit riding public. Therefore, Seller does not expect to earn any sales commissions from the sale of Fare Products (unless otherwise set forth herein). b. To the extent the Parties have previously agreed to any sales commission for the sale of applicable Fare Products (“Seller Commission”), such commission will be shown on the Positions Report (defined below), and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.b as follows: i. Commission rates may change from time to time, as determined by LACMTA or other TAP Participants, and approved by LACMTA in its sole discretion. LACMTA shall provide written notice to Seller of such changes no later than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the change. ii. Seller may terminate the Agreement by written notice no later than 10 days prior to the effective date of the rate change. iii. Seller must sell Fare Products to members of the public in order to earn the Seller Commission. iv.

Monthly Invoicing: ii. Upon the completion of an executed purchase order (PO), iii. LACMTA shall prepare and provide a monthly invoice of TAP Net Proceeds, payable after 30 days from creation, for TAP Sales Revenues occurring during the prior calendar month period, plus the per card fee for any card deliveries occurring during such calendar month period, less the applicable Seller’s Commission (defined below, if applicable) earned by Seller for such period (for this “Monthly Invoicing” payment method, the “TAP Net Proceeds” shall refer to the net balance of these amounts). iv. Seller acknowledges and agrees: (i) it is Seller’s responsibility to collect from customers, the exact amount owed from a customer that is shown on the RPOS for a customer’s transaction (be it the purchase of any TAP cards or Fare Products or the deposit of funds into a TAP Account) prior to completion of a sales transaction; and (ii) the amount used for the calculation of the TAP Sales Revenues in the monthly calculation of the TAP Net Proceeds is determined based on the amount shown in the RPOS at the time of a sales transaction, and any failure of Seller to collect the correct amount is Seller’s sole responsibility and shall not modify or affect the calculation of the TAP Sales Revenues for purposes of determining the TAP Net Proceeds for Monthly Invoicing. 5. RPOS CONNECTION. LACMTA shall provide at least six (6) months’ prior written notice to Licensee before instituting any charges to Licensee for any cellular data used in connection with the RPOS device. Wi-Fi setup in connection with use of the RPOS shall be handled on a case by case basis in coordination with LACMTA. 6. TRUSTEE-BENEFICIARY RELATIONSHIP. Rev. 08/2021 TAP® Government Agency Seller Agreement 6 a. The relationship between Seller and LACMTA is that of a trustee and beneficiary, and not that of a debtor and creditor. All TAP cards and TAP Net Proceeds collected by Seller on behalf of LACMTA are the property of LACMTA. b. Seller shall hold in trust for LACMTA, and for the benefit of TAP Participants as third party beneficiaries, all fare media products, including, without limitation, TAP cards or other items supplied by LACMTA to Seller for use or sale. Seller shall keep the TAP Net Proceeds and any funds collected for the account of LACMTA, and for the benefit of Participants as third party beneficiaries, in trust, and shall remit the TAP Net Proceeds as provided in Section 4. c. Seller shall be responsible for (i) all TAP cards and Fare Products, (ii) all other items for sale delivered to Seller by LACMTA, and (iii) all funds collected by Seller under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the funds from TAP Account Deposit transactions and funds collected for the benefit of applicable TAP Participants, and will compensate, indemnify and save harmless LACMTA and the TAP Participants from any loss of the items described in this Section 6.c(i) through Section 6.c(iii), whether occasioned by theft, forgery or any other cause; any and all loss of any such items, either physically and electronically, shall be calculated based on the value thereof. 7. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Seller’s relationship with LACMTA will be that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, co-ownership, principal and agent, or employer-employee relationship. Seller is not the agent of LACMTA and is not authorized to make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of LACMTA. 8. LACMTA AUDIT/REVIEW RIGHTS. Upon seventy two (72) hours notice, Seller shall permit the authorized representative of LACMTA, during reasonable hours, to examine and audit TAP cards and RPOS sales records, and other property provided by LACMTA to Seller, including TAP Sales Revenues on hand, and to inspect and audit all records and accounts pertaining to the business of LACMTA and the TAP System. As a Government Seller, at Seller’s reasonable discretion, Seller may use the RPOS off site from the Seller Location(s) to sell Fare Products to customers or assist customers with a TAP Account Deposit, provided that Seller shall remain responsible for the RPOS pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the RPOS License Agreement. Consistent with the terms and conditions of the RPOS License Agreement, the RPOS geolocation capabilities shall remain enabled at all times, enabling LACMTA to track the RPOS location at all times. 9. BREACH/REMEDY. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event Seller breaches of any of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within the cure period set forth in LACMTA’s written notice thereof, then in addition to any other right and remedy LACMTA may have, LACMTA may terminate this Agreement.

Seller shall, at his own expense, procure and maintain in effect during the term hereof, public liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage.

LACMTA shall be provided a Certificate of Insurance naming the LACMTA its subsidiaries, officials and employees as additional insureds under the insurance products required pursuant to this Section 10. LACMTA shall be given thirty (30) days’ notice of the termination of such insurance. Such insurance shall pr otect and indemnify both Seller, LACMTA from any liability arising out of the occupancy and use of the Seller Location(s) by Seller. Seller may satisfy its insurance requirements set forth in this Section 10 by providing evidence, to the reasonable satisfaction of LACMTA, that Seller is legally self-insured. Seller agrees that any program of self-insurance shall protect the interests of LACMTA to the same extent as those interests would have been protected had commercial insurance policies conforming to the requirements of this Article 10 been in effect. 11.
