Schneider Electric is submitting this Statement of Work (SOW) for Denton Municipal  Electric (DME)  for the implementation of Designer XI. This document outlines the tasks  and services required for the implementation of Schneider Electric’s Designer XI, and  SPIDAcalc.  Assumptions   This scope of work is for the implementation of the OOTB (out‐of‐the‐box) Designer  XI (with integration to WMS and SPIDACalc) and SPIDAcalc.   DME will make use of off‐the‐shelf components, where possible. This may require  adopting new approaches to the way some functions are accomplished. The  advantages of off‐the‐shelf components are that they are commercially available,  used at many sites, reflect the input of that user community, and supported under  the software maintenance agreement.    DME will leverage a common data model and symbology for all commodities.    The services provided in this scope will be completed through a combination of on‐ site and remote tasks.   DME shall provide all required facilities and equipment for on‐site meetings and is  to ensure participation of proper representatives for scheduled project meetings  and/or events.   DME will have all necessary hardware, network equipment, and 3rd party software  installed prior to the initiation of the project.   DME and Schneider Electric each will provide a core team for the duration of this  SOW.  Each team also provides a project manager as the main point of contact and  coordination for the respective team.  Project flow of control, schedule and  logistical planning will be made through each team's project manager. DME and  Schneider Electric team members shall answer questions; provide information,  decisions and deliverables promptly following agreed‐to schedules and timelines.   Schneider Electric will provide an OOTB Test Plan that will be used during Factory  Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Acceptance Testing (Acceptance Testing). The plan  will define the OOTB test scripts and steps to be performed during formal testing of  the ArcFM solution suite.   DME will provide Schneider Electric remote access to the system to assist in the  implementation and troubleshooting of issues should they arise during  implementation.   Customization of the Schneider Electric Designer XI product, beyond the  development of an integration to WMS and SPIDACalc, is not in Schneider Electric’s  scope.  DocuSign Envelope ID:

The client does not require SPIDA to research specific values either in, or missing  from, the client file.   SPIDA is not required to flag values or settings that deviate from industry norms, but  SPIDA may communicate to the client any items or attributes that are a concern to  SPIDA.   Schneider Team shall employ their reasonable judgement and due diligence when  reviewing materials furnished by the client, but the potential exists that SPIDA may  overlook or suggest values that do   Following the client’s receipt of the specific SPIDA Deliverables, the City has a 10‐ business day period (the “Acceptance Period”) to review the Client File. During the  Acceptance Period, the client shall provide a written statement as to the  deficiencies identified, if any. Schneider Team shall provide corrections or  clarification to the reported deficiencies within 10‐business days following  notification by the client. If an updated Deliverable is supplied by SPIDA to the  client, another Acceptance Period shall also be provided to the client. After  Acceptance of the Deliverable by the client, or the Acceptance Period expires  without comment from the client, the project will be closed, and further review of  the Deliverable is considered out of scope.  Project Management

identify the source of the discrepancy.  Schneider Electric may determine that the  discrepancy is not a custom component or application problem but instead a problem  with non‐application software, the network, an operator’s use of the system, or a  misunderstanding about how the system’s business rules work.  If Schneider Electric cannot replicate a reported discrepancy, or if DME testing team  cannot demonstrate it, or if it is determined by Schneider Electric that the discrepancy  has another cause not related to the Schneider Electric scope of work, then Schneider  Electric will notify DME testing team that the problem is not a software defect and  identify the cause of the defect.  If appropriate, Schneider Electric will recommend an  action to take, or an acceptable workaround.  Severity Description  S1  Critical  A Severity 1 defect means that the application or process does not work as  defined in the approved Design Document and the application or process is  stopped with no work around.  The defect(s) may affect multiple users on  frequently used functions.    S2  High  A Severity 2 defect is less severe than a Severity 1 defect, but is the result  of a significant problem(s).  The defect severely impairs the process and  reduces user productivity.  No work around has been identified by  Schneider Electric.  It could be a major problem, which affects a limited  number of users or affects functionality not needed daily.  S3  Medium  A Severity 3 defects means that the process has been impaired but has a  Schneider Electric recommended work around.  The user can function near  the expected productivity level.  Internal geodatabase structures are  accurate and maintain their integrity.  S4  Low  A Severity 4 defect does not have a significant impact on the process and  reflects a minor problem(s).  DocuSign Envelope ID: 30833DAC-B3CE-4F9C-9B0A-9A0C0443AB4C DESIGNER XI IMPLEMENTATION   6/29/2022  Proprietary and Confidential  Page 17  Internal

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.
