question the other party’s intent to perform, demand may be made to the other party for written

City’s reasonable satisfaction that such default does not, in fact, exist. In addition to any other
remedy available under law or in equity, the City shall be entitled to recover all actual damages,

Contract for cause by the City and may result in legal action.
30. DELAYS:
A. The City may delay scheduled delivery or other due dates by written notice to the Contractor if
the City deems it is in its best interest. If such delay causes an increase in the cost of the work

Contract # 7915
B. Neither party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under
this Contract if, while and to the extent such default or delay is caused by acts of God, fire, riots,
civil commotion, labor disruptions, sabotage, sovereign conduct, or any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of such Party. In the event of default or delay in contract performance due to
any of the foregoing causes, then the time for completion of the services will be extended;
provided, however, in such an event, a conference will be held within three (3) business days to
establish a mutually agreeable period of time reasonably necessary to overcome the effect of such
failure to perform.

or in part by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless the waiver or renunciation is
supported by consideration and is in writing signed by the aggrieved party. No waiver by either
the Contractor or the City of any one or more events of default by the other party shall operate as,

similar or different character.

exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement. No course of prior dealing between the parties

used in the Contract. Although the Contract may have been substantially drafted by one party, it
is the intent of the parties that all provisions be construed in a manner to be fair to both parties,
reading no provisions more strictly against one party or the other. Whenever a term defined by the
Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted by the State of Texas, is used in the Contract, the UCC
definition shall control, unless otherwise defined in the Contract.
49. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Contract, or the breach thereof, the parties agree to
negotiate prior to prosecuting a suit for damages. However, this section does not prohibit the filing
of a lawsuit to toll the running of a statute of limitations or to seek injunctive relief. Either party
may make a written request for a meeting between representatives of each party within fourteen
(14) calendar days after receipt of the request or such later period as agreed by the parties. Each
party shall include, at a minimum, one (1) senior level individual with decision-making authority
regarding the dispute. The purpose of this and any subsequent meeting is to attempt in good faith
to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after such meeting, the
parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will proceed directly to
mediation as described below. Negotiation may be waived by a written agreement signed by both
parties, in which event the parties may proceed directly to mediation as described below.
B. If the efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation fail, or the parties waive the negotiation
process, the parties may select, within thirty (30) calendar days, a mediator trained in mediation
skills to assist with resolution of the dispute. Should they choose this option; the City and the
Contractor agree to act in good faith in the selection of the mediator and to give consideration to
qualified individuals nominated to act as mediator. Nothing in the Contract prevents the parties
from relying on the skills of a person who is trained in the subject matter of the dispute or a contract
interpretation expert. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) calendar days of

Contract # 7915

Dispute Resolution Program (DCAP). The parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith
for up to thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the first mediation session. The City and the
Contractor will share the mediator’s fees equally and the parties will bear their own costs of
participation such as fees for any consultants or attorneys they may utilize to represent them or
otherwise assist them in the mediation.
50. JURISDICTION AND VENUE: The Contract is made under and shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Texas, including, when applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted
in Texas, V.T.C.A., Bus. & Comm. Code, Chapter 1, excluding any rule or principle that would
refer to and apply the substantive law of another state or jurisdiction. All issues arising from this
Contract shall be resolved in the courts of Denton County, Texas and the parties agree to submit
to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing, however, shall not be
construed or interpreted to limit or restrict the right or ability of the City to seek and secure
injunctive relief from any competent authority as contemplated herein.
51. INVALIDITY: The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision of the Contract
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other portion or provision of the
Contract. Any void provision shall be deemed severed from the Contract and the balance of the
Contract shall be construed and enforced as if the Contract did not contain the particular portion
or provision held to be void. The parties further agree to reform the Contract to replace any stricken
provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken
provision. The provisions of this section shall not prevent this entire Contract from being void

become economically impractical, then Emburse may terminate the Agreements by providing written notice thereof to
Customer, without further obligation by either party, except that (i) Customer shall be entitled to, and Emburse shall pay
Customer, a refund equal to the pro-rata amount of any unused pre-paid fees for the Service paid by Customer as of the
effective date of such termination; and (ii) Emburse’s indemnity obligations under Section 10.1 above apply.

11.1 During the Term of the Agreements, each party may have access to certain Confidential Information of the other party,
which value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties ("Confidential Information"). Confidential
Information means any information marked or otherwise identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. With respect to
Emburse, Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, the Service and the Documentation.
11.2 During the Term (as defined in Section 13.1 below) and for three (3) years thereafter, the receiving party
hereunder shall not use or otherwise disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party to a third party without
the prior written consent of the disclosing party, except that: (a) the receiving party may disclose the Confidential
Information of the disclosing party to its third party advisers (e.g., auditors or attorneys) who have need to know such
Confidential Information in performing services on the receiving party’s behalf and under terms consistent with the
confidentiality and non-use in the Agreements; and (b) Emburse may use or disclose such information solely as required to
provide the Service or as otherwise authorized by Customer. In addition, each party agrees to take reasonable measures to
protect the other party’s Confidential Information and to ensure that such Confidential Information is not disclosed,
distributed, or used in violation of the provisions of the Agreements (which measures shall be no less than that which a
reasonable person would take with respect to like confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the obligations of the receiving party set forth in this Section 11 shall not apply to any
information of the disclosing party that: (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no wrongful act of the
receiving party; (ii) was in the receiving party’s possession free of any obligation of confidentiality at the time of the
disclosing party’s communication thereof to the receiving party; (iii) is developed by the receiving party completely
independent from the Confidential Information of the disclosing party; or (iv) is required by law or regulation to be
disclosed, but only to the extent and for the purpose of such required disclosure after providing the disclosing party with
advance written notice, if reasonably possible, such that the disclosing party is afforded an opportunity to contest the
disclosure or seek an appropriate protective order. Emburse acknowledges that the City of Denton must strictly comply
with the Public Information Act, Chapter 552, Texas Government Code in responding to any request for public information
related to this Agreement. This obligation supersedes any conflicting provisions of this Agreement. All material submitted
by Emburse to the City of Denton shall become property of the City upon receipt. Any portions of such material claimed by
Emburse to be proprietary must be clearly marked as such. Determination of the public nature of the material is subject to
the Texas Public Information Act, chapter 552, and Texas Government Code.
11.3 In the event of a breach of this Section, the parties agree that the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable
harm and the total amount of monetary damages for any injury to the non-breaching party will be impossible to calculate
and would therefore be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that the non-breaching party shall be
entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party without posting bond,
in addition to such other rights and remedies to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.

Agreements, in whole but not in part, without the other party’s permission, in connection with any merger, consolidation,
sale of all or substantially all of such assigning party’s assets, or any other similar transaction; provided, that the assignee:

legaldept@emburse.com. The respective addresses of the parties for notice are set forth on the Order Form. Either party
may change its notice address upon written notice to the other party.
12.4 Waiver and Severability. A waiver of any breach of the Agreements is not deemed a waiver of any other
breach. If any provision of the Agreements is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability will
not affect the other provisions of the Agreements.

accordance with the applicable law identified below (without reference to its principals of conflict of laws), as determined

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
