Gateway Services Master Agreement
This Gateway Services Master Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into by and between Xpress Solutions, Inc. DBA Xpress Bill Pay ("Xpress")
and Customer identified on the Order Form ("Customer"), together referred to as the "Parties" and each individually as a "Party."
WHEREAS, Xpress offers a program that enables its customers, including Customer, to use the proprietary technology offered by Xpress (the “Xpress
Services”), along with the banking and payments services of its financial institution partner, Zions Bancorporation, National Association or such other
financial institution partner identified by Xpress from time-to-time (“ODFI”) (the “Banking Services”), to accept Automated Clearing House (“ACH”)
payments from Customer’s clients (each, a “Payor”) for goods and services provided by Customer, as well as certain Additional Services (defined
below) in connection with the same (the “Xpress Program”); and
WHEREAS, Customer desires to, and Xpress agrees to permit, Customer to participate in the Xpress Program subject to the terms and conditions of,
this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and the receipt of consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1.0 Term and Renewal: The Initial Term (the "Initial Term") of this Agreement shall be thirty-six (36) months from the date on which this
Agreement is executed by the Parties. This Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional thirty-six (36) months at the end of the
Initial Term or any subsequent renewal term by the Customer upon the receipt by Xpress of the applicable Fees (defined below) and under
the same terms and conditions set forth herein, so long as the Customer is not and has not been in default in any term or condition of this
Agreement. If Customer is a political subdivision, the Parties agree that an automatic renewal cannot occur if Customer's governing board
does not budget for payment of the Fees set forth in Section 2.0 in any given fiscal year of Customer.
2.0 Fees and Payments: Customer shall pay to Xpress a one-time set-up Fee, monthly maintenance, support, transaction and hosting Fees,
and various additional Fees as set forth in the Order Form and Exhibit A (collectively the "Fees"). Xpress reserves the right to change the
Fees at any time so long as Customer is provided no less than thirty (30) days advance notice of a change. Customer authorizes Xpress to
initiate an electronic ACH Debit Entry from Customer’s bank account provided in Exhibit B (the “Customer Account”) on or about the 5th day
of each month for the amount of all Fees that accrued during the prior month for any Fee that is due as described in Exhibit A. If there are
insufficient funds in Customer Account to cover the Fees, Xpress will contact Customer for resolution which will include resubmission up to
three (3) times, subject to the Rules and Regulations (defined below). Any outstanding Fees that are not paid when due shall bear interest at
the rate of 18% per annum until the outstanding balance and all accrued interest are paid in full.
3.0 Services Provided; Obligations of Customer:
A. Customer shall be subject to “know your customer” and related due diligence requirements established by Xpress and ODFI (the
“Onboarding Requirements”). Customer must satisfy the Onboarding Requirements at all times during the Term in order to be eligible
to use the Xpress Services or the Additional Services and shall provide to Xpress all information requested by Xpress or ODFI for such
purpose. Customer represents and warrants that any information that Customer provides to Xpress or that Xpress otherwise obtains pursuant
to this Agreement for purposes of complying with the Onboarding Requirements is accurate and complete, and Customer will notify Xpress in
connection with any changes to this information.
B. In addition to the Xpress Services, Xpress will provide Customer with the additional services described below (together, the “Additional
Services”):
1. Xpress has developed a web-based payment gateway interface that can be used by Customer for accepting payments from
Customer’s clients via ACH, electronic funds transfer (“EFT”), or credit cards (the “Gateway Services”). If desired by Customer,
Xpress will, through an affiliate and pursuant to separate terms, facilitate the acquisition of the necessary processing services for
the acceptance of credit cards.
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 1 of 10
2. Xpress has engaged Zions Bank to provide electronic funds transfers (EFT), Bank Bill Pay (BBP), and Lockbox services using
its established banking relationships (the “Check Services”). Customer hereby authorizes Xpress to endorse checks and other
payment items on behalf of Customer into the Program Account (defined below) and deposit funds as necessary for the clearing
of payments received for Customer. Customer acknowledges that in order to use the services described in this section, it must
maintain a bank account and third-party processing relationships approved by Xpress.
C. To initiate an ACH transaction through the Xpress Services (a “Transaction”), Customer will submit Transaction instructions to Xpress
containing all information required by the payment platform provided by Xpress. Transactions are placed through Xpress as a third-party
sender of ACH transactions with Customer as the "originator" of those Transactions under the Rules and Regulations. Xpress will send all
transactions through ODFI all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Operating Rules and Guidelines of the National Automated
Clearing House Association (NACHA) and the applicable federal statutes and regulations governing ACH transactions (collectively the
"Rules and Regulations"). As between the Parties, Customer is solely responsible for ensuring Transactions are consistent with the
instructions of the Payor and shall bear all liability associated with any errors, including incorrect account information, included in the
Transaction instructions.
D. ODFI will remit ACH and check Transaction funds to an ODFI-owned account established by ODFI and Xpress for the benefit of all
Program customers (the “Program Account”). Customer acknowledges as a part of the Program Account, Xpress and ODFI participate in
a sweep program (the “Sweep Program”) through which ODFI acts as Customer’s agent to automatically deposit or “sweep” all Customer
funds from the Program Account into sweep program bank partners, up to applicable Sweep Program limits. Funds held in such Sweep
Program may generate fees or interest. Customer assigns any of its right, title or interest in such fees or interest to Xpress as consideration
for the provision of the Xpress Services pursuant to this Agreement, in addition to the Fees as described herein. Upon Customer’s withdrawal
request, ODFI will effect withdrawal of the relevant Transaction funds from the Program Account to the Customer Account. For avoidance
of doubt, Customer hereby designates ODFI as its agent for purposes of sweeping Customer funds from the Program Account to the Sweep
Program, and otherwise participating in the Sweep Program as set forth herein.
4.0 Support Services and Service Levels; Errors:
A. Xpress will provide technical support services, including telephone, email (seven days a week), or other technology support implemented
by Xpress, from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm (MST or MDT) for Customer and Payors within the United States. The maximum response time for
service shall not exceed 5:00 pm (Customer local time) of the next business day following the request for service by Customer. This support
will be limited to the actual use of the Xpress internet payment system.
B. Customer must contact Xpress immediately at 1-800-768-7295 if Customer believes that: (i) a Transaction has been initiated without
Customer or Payor’s authorization; (ii) a Transaction has occurred that neither Customer nor Payor authorized; (iii) a Transaction has been
processed incorrectly to or from the Program Account; or (iv) a Payor informs Customer that its transaction history contains an error, or
Customer finds that the Program Account history contains an error (each, an “Error”). For clarity, if Customer gave a third party access to
the relevant Program Account, and that person conducts transactions that neither Customer nor the Payor anticipated, these transactions
do not constitute Errors. Customer must notify Xpress within the period required by the Rules and Regulations after any such Error first
appeared in Customer or a Payor’s transaction history, with such notification including all information as requested by Xpress, in order
for Customer to be eligible for a remedy. Xpress will determine whether an Error has occurred as soon as reasonably practicable after
Customer notifies Xpress. Xpress will inform Customer of the results of its investigation as soon as reasonably practicable after completing
its investigation. Liability for Errors shall be as set forth in Section 10.
5.0 Software or Hardware: Customer will not receive any hardware or software from Xpress under this Agreement except as specified in
Exhibit A. Customer will use its own computers and agrees to have internet services through an internet service provider. Customer agrees
that the computers it uses will have sufficient memory and capacity to run at least Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox.
6.0 Customer Account Authorization: Customer hereby authorizes Xpress, or its designees, to initiate Debit and/or Credit Entries to
the Customer Account in accordance with this Agreement. Xpress' authority will remain in full force and effect until either (a) 90 days after
Xpress has received written notification from Customer of the termination of this Agreement to provide Xpress reasonable opportunity to act
upon any outstanding liabilities; or (b) all obligations of the Customer to Xpress that have arisen from this Agreement have been paid in full,
including, but not limited to, those obligations described in this Agreement.
7.0 Accepting Transactions: Xpress will accept all completed batches from the Customer. Xpress is responsible for accepting and
processing only those Transactions that have been received in a proper format and on a timely basis. Any Transaction returned to Xpress will
be represented in accordance with the Rules and Regulations.
8.0 Returned Entries: Xpress will apply returned Transactions to the Program Account when they are received. All returns will be processed
and available through Xpress software, or by other means, as agreed to by Xpress and the Customer. With respect to each Notification of
Change ("NOC") Entry or Corrected Notification of Change ("Corrected NOC") Entry transmitted by Xpress, the parties shall ensure that
changes requested by the NOC or Corrected NOC are made by, or on behalf of, the Customer within six (6) banking days of Xpress receipt
of the NOC information from the ODFI or prior to initiating another Transaction to the Receiver's account, whichever is later.
9.0 Reports: Xpress will provide a detailed report of all funds transfers collected for the Customer's account. All reporting will be via the
Internet.
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 2 of 10
10.0 Limits of Xpress Liability: Xpress will be responsible for Xpress' performance of the Xpress Services and the Additional Services in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and applicable Rules and Regulations. Xpress does not accept responsibility for Errors, acts
or the failure of others to act, including, and among other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearing houses through which ACH or
check Transactions may be originated or Xpress receives or transmits information in connection with the Xpress Services or the Additional
Services. Xpress shall not be responsible nor bear any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power
surges or failures, acts of government or God, labor disputes, failures in communication networks, legal constraints or other events beyond
Xpress' control.
11.0 Representations and Warranties Regarding Payors: Customer warrants that it will provide Xpress with relevant billing information for
Payors. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Xpress harmless from any claim or liability relating to any inaccuracy in billing information
provided to Xpress. Customer further represents and warrants with respect to all ACH and check Transactions processed for Customer by
Xpress that: (a) each Payor has authorized the debiting and/or crediting of his, her, or its account, (b) each ACH and check Transaction is
for an amount agreed to by the Payor, (c) each ACH and check Transaction is in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and properly
authorized in all other respects, (d) Payors are U.S. persons and are not the target of economic or financial sanctions imposed by any
government authority. Customer agrees to comply with Xpress' requests for record retention and signature authorization. Customer hereby
grants to Xpress or its designee the right to audit these authorizations and Customer's record retention compliance, at no expense to Xpress.
Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Xpress and all its agents harmless for any losses, liabilities, legal action costs or expenses
incurred by Xpress as a result of any breach of these representations and warranties either intentionally or unintentionally by Customer.
Customer shall cease initiating ACH and check Transactions immediately upon receiving actual or constructive notice of the termination
or revocation by the Payor of authority. Customer must provide Xpress immediate notice if Client detects illegal, fraudulent, deceptive or
suspicious activity associated with a Payor.
12.0 Regulatory Compliance:
A. Customer will use its best efforts, and bears the final responsibility to ensure that Customer's policies and procedures meet the
requirements of all applicable Rules and Regulations pertaining to ACH and check transactions of any kind. Customer hereby agrees to, and
otherwise assumes, all obligations under the Rules and Regulations as an originator to the ODFI with respect to all ACH Transactions, which
includes without limitation the unconditional obligation of Customer to pay and indemnify the ODFI for all ACH Transactions that are returned
by any Receiving Depository Financial Institution (RDFI) for whatever reason. Without limiting the obligations of Customer to the ODFI under
this Agreement and the Rules and Regulations for the payment of all returned ACH Transactions, Customer agrees to execute an origination
agreement with the ODFI if required by the Rules and Regulations.
B. Customer acknowledges that XBP is a technology provider and not a bank or financial institution, and – as such – the holding and
movement of Customer funds as necessary for the Xpress Services or Additional Services are undertaken solely by Zions Bank. XBP is not
an FDIC-insured institution. FDIC insurance protects only against the failure of insured depository institutions and not the failure of nonbanks
like XBP and its affiliates.
13.0 Record Keeping: Customer agrees to keep full and accurate data and records of its utilization of Xpress Services, the Check Services,
and of ACH and check Transactions for at least two (2) years after the date of the relevant Transaction, or such longer period as required
by the Rules and Regulations. Customer understands that Xpress and the ODFI will be required to participate in certain audits of Customer
in connection with the Xpress Services. Customer agrees to cooperate with Xpress and ODFI in the performance of such audits, including
providing information reasonably required in the course of such audits.
14.0 Compliance: Customer represents and warrants that all products and services offered, sold, or provided by Customer are offered, sold,
or provided in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Customer will not use the Xpress Services or the Check Services, nor
permit such services to be used by Payors (i) to facilitate ACH or check Transactions that are inconsistent with the limitations on the amount,
velocity, or other limitations as may be established by Xpress or ODFI from time to time; (ii) to facilitate ACH or check Transactions that are
inconsistent with Xpress' Acceptable Use Policy as required by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) as provided
in Exhibit C; or (iii) in any manner that gives rise to fraud or violates, or that causes Xpress or ODFI to violate, the Rules and Regulations.
Xpress will comply with all applicable compliance requirements as required by current and future Payment Card Industry (PCI) rules of
operation as well as the Rules and Regulations. For avoidance of doubt, all Banking Services, including the holding and transfer of funds
in connection with the Program, are performed solely by ODFI; the functions performed by Xpress in support of the Program are limited to
providing technology and related to enable Customer to access the Program, including the Banking Services.
15.0 Termination: This Agreement may be terminated by either party with at least sixty (60) days’ written notice prior to the end of the
initial three (3) year term or any renewal term. In the event this Agreement is terminated by Customer through no fault of the Company, the
Company shall be entitled to payment for all services performed through the end of the applicable term.
16.0 Governing Law; Attorneys' Fees: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Utah. In the
event suit or action is instituted to interpret or enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
other party such sum as a court may adjudge reasonable as Attorneys' fees at trial, on any appeal, and on any petition for review, in addition
to other sums provided by law.
17.0 Independent Contractors: Both Customer and Xpress are acting hereunder as independent contractors and under no circumstances
shall any of the employees of one party be deemed the employees of the other for any purpose. This Agreement shall not be construed as
authority for either party to act for the other party in any agency or other capacity, or to make commitments of any kind for the account of or
on behalf of the other, except to the extent and for the purposes provided for herein.
18.0 No Warranty: Xpress makes no warranty, expressed or implied, including warranties of merchant ability and fitness for a particular
purpose. Xpress shall have no liability with respect to its obligations under this agreement for consequential, special, direct, exemplary,
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 3 of 10
punitive, or incidental damages to Customer or to third parties dealing with Customer even if Xpress has been advised of the possibility of
such damages.
19.0 Entire Agreement: This Agreement and the exhibits hereto constitute the entire understanding and agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no other agreements or understandings among the parties other than those contained
herein. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, the same shall not affect in any respect the validity of the
remainder of this Agreement.
20.0 Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiary: This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties,
and their respective heirs, successors and assigns. Neither party may assign its interest under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the other; provided, that no such consent shall be required in connection with an assignment by Xpress to an affiliate. The
parties hereby agree that the ODFI is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and shall have the right to enforce this Agreement directly
and independently against Customer including the enforcement of Customer's liability to the ODFI as an originator under the Rules and
Regulations.
21.0 Waiver: Failure of either party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not limit the parties' right to
enforce the provision. Waiver of any breach of any provision shall not be waiver of any succeeding breach of the provision or a waiver of the
provision itself or any other provision.

The scope of this policy is all the Company’s clients.
Policy
This Policy governs the usage of the Company’s network by any person (regardless of whether that person is a Customer). Each person utilizing
the Company network in any manner is responsible for complying with this Policy, and for providing assistance to the Company in furtherance of the
objectives hereof, as the Company may request from time to time. The Company’s Clients will be held solely responsible for the actions (or inactions) of

and Regulations and/or any rules or policies of upstream Company network service providers. Set forth below, is a non-exclusive list of certain actions,

indirect manner.

ADDENDUM NO. 1: MUNICIPAL PROVISIONS
In the event the terms and conditions of this Addendum No. 1 conflict in whole or in part with the
terms and conditions of the Gateway Services Master Agreement, dated January 13, 2026, the
terms and conditions of this Addendum No. 1 shall control.
A.1. No Waiver of Governmental Immunity: Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
waive, limit, or otherwise modify any governmental immunity that may be available by law
to the Town of Avon, Colorado (“Town”), its officials, employees, contractors, or agents, or
any other person acting on behalf of the Town and, in particular, governmental immunity
afforded or available pursuant to the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, Title 24, Article
10, Part 1 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.
A.2. Affirmative Action: Xpress will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Xpress will take
affirmative action to ensure applicants are employed and employees are treated during
employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Such action
shall include, but is not limited to, the following: employment, promotion, demotion, or
transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other
forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.
A.3. Article X, Section 20/TABOR: The Parties understand and acknowledge that the Town is
subject to Article X, § 20 of the Colorado Constitution (“TABOR”). The Parties do not intend
to violate the terms and requirements of TABOR by the execution of this Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that this Agreement does not create a multi-fiscal year direct or
indirect debt or obligation within the meaning of TABOR and, therefore, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all payment obligations of the Town are expressly
dependent and conditioned upon the continuing availability of funds beyond the term of the
Town's current fiscal period ending upon the next succeeding December 31. Financial
obligations of the Town payable after the current fiscal year are contingent upon funds for
that purpose being appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise made available in accordance with
the rules, regulations, and resolutions of Town of Avon, and other applicable law. Upon the
failure to appropriate such funds, this Agreement shall be terminated.
A.4. Ownership of Documents. The Town shall not reproduce, sell, or otherwise make copies of
any copyrighted material, subject to the following exceptions: (1) for exclusive use internally
by Town staff and/or employees; or (2) pursuant to a request under the Colorado Open
Records Act, § 24-72-203, C.R.S., to the extent that such statute applies; or (3) pursuant to
law, regulation, or court order. The Xpress waives any right to prevent its name from being
used in connection with the Services.
A.5. No Waiver of Rights: A waiver by any Party to this Agreement of the breach of any term or
provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach by either Party. The Town’s approval or acceptance of, or payment for, services
Addendum No. 1: Town of Avon

shall not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights or benefits to be provided under
this Agreement. No covenant or term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be waived by the
Town except in writing signed by the Town Council or by a person expressly authorized to
sign such waiver by resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Avon, and any written
waiver of a right shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other right or to be a continuing
waiver unless specifically stated.
A.6. Binding Effect: The Parties agree that this Agreement, by its terms, shall be binding upon
the successors, heirs, legal representatives, and assigns.
A.7. Governing Law, Venue, and Enforcement: This Agreement shall be governed by and
interpreted according to the law of the State of Colorado. Venue for any action arising under
this Agreement shall be in the appropriate court for Eagle County, Colorado. To reduce the
cost of dispute resolution and to expedite the resolution of disputes under this Agreement,
the Parties hereby waive any and all right either may have to request a jury trial in any civil
action relating primarily to the enforcement of this Agreement. The Parties agree that the
rule that ambiguities in a contract are to be construed against the drafting party shall not
apply to the interpretation of this Agreement. If there is any conflict between the language of
this Agreement and any exhibit or attachment, the language of this Agreement shall govern.
A.8. Survival of Terms and Conditions: The Parties understand and agree that all terms and
conditions of the Agreement that require continued performance, compliance, or effect
beyond the termination date of the Agreement shall survive such termination date and shall
be enforceable in the event of a failure to perform or comply.
A.9. Indemnification: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Xpress shall indemnify, and hold
harmless the Town, its members, affiliates, officers, directors, partners, employees, and
agents from and against all third-party claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including but
not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, directly caused by of the performance of the
Services, provided that any such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused by any grossly
negligent act or intentional misconduct of Xpress, anyone directly or indirectly employed by
Xpress, or anyone for whose acts Xpress may be liable, except to the extent any portion is
caused in part by the Town and/or a party indemnified hereunder. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, Xpress' total aggregate liability to Town under this
Agreement, whether based on contract, indemnity, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise,
shall not exceed the total Fees paid by Town to Xpress in the twelve (12) months preceding
the claim. Severability: Invalidation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any
paragraph sentence, clause, phrase, or word herein or the application thereof in any given
circumstance shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement.
