Cyvl will not be required to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Customer Indemnified Parties for any Claims or Losses to the extent arising out of: (a) use of the Services in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement, the Service Specifications, and/or any other written instructions for the Services made available by Cyvl to Customer; (b) modifications of the Services by an individual or entity other than Cyvl; (c) any combination of the Services with any materials (including, but not limited to, any hardware or software) not supplied or approved by Cyvl; and (d) any failure by the Customer Indemnified Party to incorporate updates or upgrades to the Services that would have avoided the alleged infringement, provided the Cyvl offered such updates or upgrades without charge to the Customer Indemnified Party prior to the date of such third party claim or action ((a) through (d) collectively, any "Excluded Claims").
9.2. If the sale or use of the Services is enjoined or, in Cyvl's sole and absolute judgment, is likely to be enjoined, based upon a claim of infringement of a third party's Intellectual Property Rights, Cyvl shall, at Cyvl's election in its sole and absolute discretion and expense, procure for Customer the right to continue using the Services, replace the same with equivalent non-infringing products, or modify such Services so they become non-infringing.

The indemnifying Party will undertake the sole and complete defense of any such Claim, but the indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense of such Claim with counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense. The indemnifying Party will have the right to settle the Claim; provided however, it will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, agree to a settlement of any Claim which could lead to liability or create any obligation or admission of wrongdoing on the part of or on behalf of the indemnified Party (other than to cease using any infringing materials).

3.3. Modifications. Cyvl may modify this AI Addendum in accordance with Section 14.6 of the Agreement.
CYVL INC. COOPERATIVE PROCUREMENT VEHICLE ADDENDUM
This Cooperative Procurement Vehicle Addendum (this "Addendum") is appended to and forms part of the Customer Terms and Conditions between Cyvl Inc. ("Cyvl") and the entity agreeing to the Agreement ("Customer"). This Addendum applies to, and only to, engagements in which Cyvl's Services are procured through a cooperative purchasing vehicle administered by Carahsoft Technology Corporation or another aggregator-of-record, including without limitation NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement LS4983 (Cloud and Software Solutions), the OMNIA Partners / Region 4 ESC Master Agreement (Contract # R240303), and any successor or substitute vehicle (each, a "Contract Vehicle"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meaning given in the Agreement or, where the context requires, in the master agreement and flow-down provisions associated with the applicable Contract Vehicle (the "Flow Downs").
APPLICATION; ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
1. Application. This Addendum applies whenever Customer's purchase order, statement of work, or order document references a Contract Vehicle. Where the applicable Flow Downs (including the form of "Public Sector Contract Vehicle Flow Downs" used by Carahsoft as the contract holder) expressly permit the Order, Service Level Agreement (SLA), End User License Agreement (EULA), or Statement of Work to specify alternative or supplemental terms — including, without limitation, the introductory clause of the Work Product provision permitting the Order, SLA, or Statement of Work to "otherwise specify" — this Addendum, together with the Customer Terms and Conditions and AI Services Addendum, constitutes such specification and operates as the applicable EULA / SLA / End User Agreement.
2. Order of Precedence. This Addendum is intended to operate within, and not in conflict with, the applicable Contract Vehicle and Flow Downs. To the extent of any direct conflict between this Addendum and a mandatory provision of the Flow Downs that does not contemplate alternative specification, the Flow Downs control. With respect to all other matters — including, without limitation, the scope and definition of Pre-Existing Materials, the scope and definition of data originating with Customer, and the allocation of rights in derivative works of Pre-Existing Materials — the terms of this Addendum, the Customer Terms and Conditions, and the AI Services Addendum control. For the avoidance of doubt, any characterizations or definitions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Addendum are intended to clarify the meaning and scope of corresponding terms used in the Flow Downs, and do not constitute a conflict with, modification of, or override of the relevant Flow Down provision.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND DATA
3. Pre-Existing Materials. For all purposes under this Agreement and the Flow Downs (including without limitation the "Pre-Existing Materials" carve-out in the Work Product provision of the Flow Downs), Cyvl's Pre-Existing Materials include, without limitation: (a) the Cyvl data collection sensor and all related hardware, software, firmware, accessories, and physical components; (b) the Cyvl software platform, including all source code, object code, application logic, user interfaces, APIs, hosted infrastructure, and database schemas; (c) Cyvl's machine learning and artificial intelligence models, model weights, training datasets, algorithms, processing pipelines, and analytical methods; (d) Cyvl's pavement condition assessment methodologies, scoring rubrics, and asset classification taxonomies; and (e) all updates, enhancements, modifications, improvements, and derivative works of any of the foregoing, whether developed before, during, or after the term of any Order or this Agreement, all of which constitute and remain Cyvl's Pre-Existing Materials and not Work Product. Cyvl's ownership of and rights in Pre-Existing Materials are unaffected by performance under any Order issued pursuant to a Contract Vehicle.
4. Sensor-Captured Data; Scope of Customer Data. Data captured by Cyvl's sensors during performance of any Order — including LiDAR point clouds, georeferenced imagery, video, and GPS telemetry (collectively, "Sensor-Captured Data") — is generated by, and is an output of, Cyvl's Pre-Existing Materials, and constitutes Cyvl's data. Sensor-Captured Data is not derived from any data provided by, created by Customer, nor originating with Customer, and accordingly is not "Customer Data," "Purchasing Entity Data," or comparable customer-originated data within the meaning of the Flow Downs. For purposes of any Flow Down provision allocating ownership of customer-originated data, customer-originated data is limited to information that Customer uploads to, configures within, or otherwise affirmatively transmits to the Cyvl Platform, including user account information, asset registries, prior inspection records, and other materials originated by Customer. Pavement condition scores, asset condition ratings, condition maps, three-dimensional models, and other deliverable Results produced through Cyvl's processing of Sensor-Captured Data (the "Results") are likewise outputs of Cyvl's Pre-Existing Materials and are delivered to Customer with the rights expressly specified in the Flow Downs (including, where applicable, Government Purpose Rights), which by their terms do not include rights to use, reproduce, or disclose such Results for any commercial purpose; Cyvl retains all other right, title, and interest in and to the Results.
5. Model Training, Improvements, and Aggregated Outputs. Consistent with the Pre-Existing Materials, Jointly Developed Work Product, and Proprietary Products provisions of the Flow Downs, Cyvl may use Sensor-Captured Data, Results, Customer Data (as defined in the AI Services Addendum), and any ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, configurations, methods, or insights derived from performance of any Order to train, evaluate, fine-tune, debug, and improve Cyvl's machine learning and artificial intelligence models and other Pre-Existing Materials. Any updates, modifications, or derivative works of Cyvl's Pre-Existing Materials — including updated model weights, algorithms, or processing methods — constitute and remain Cyvl's Pre-Existing Materials and not Work Product. Cyvl may also use anonymized and aggregated outputs derived from such data for benchmarking, product development, marketing, and other commercial purposes, provided no information identifiable to Customer is included in such outputs without Customer's consent. Nothing in any Order or Contract Vehicle precludes Cyvl from developing, marketing, or commercializing materials, products, or services that are competitive with, or similar to, any item delivered to Customer.
6. Trade Secret Protection of Pre-Existing Materials. Pre-Existing Materials, including model weights, training datasets, algorithms, source code, processing methods, and methodologies, constitute Cyvl's trade secrets and proprietary information. Where the applicable Flow Downs contemplate redaction of vendor information from disclosure under open records, public records, or freedom of information laws, Cyvl may redact such Pre-Existing Materials and other non-public proprietary information from any such disclosure to the extent permitted by such laws. Customer will provide Cyvl with reasonable advance notice of any request for disclosure that may include Pre-Existing Materials so that Cyvl may exercise its redaction rights and seek confidential treatment.
GENERAL
7. No Modification of Mandatory Flow Downs. Nothing in this Addendum is intended to, or shall be construed to, modify, waive, or override any provision of the applicable Flow Downs that is mandatory and not subject to alternative specification by the Order, SLA, EULA, or Statement of Work, including without limitation provisions concerning data privacy, data location, data security, security incident notification, accessibility, audit, records retention, or compliance with applicable governing law of the Customer.
8. Capitalized Terms; Construction. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meaning given in the Agreement, the AI Services Addendum, or the applicable Flow Downs, as the context requires. References in this Addendum to numbered sections of the Flow Downs are intended to refer to the substantive provisions described, and shall be applied to the corresponding provisions of the applicable Flow Downs as actually numbered or titled therein.
9. Survival. The provisions of this Addendum survive expiration or termination of the Agreement to the same extent as the corresponding provisions of the Customer Terms and Conditions and the AI Services Addendum.
