End User License Agreement for Brain Corporation’s Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation Software (for Sunbelt’s Lessees)

This End User License Agreement (this “agreement”) explains the special terms of use of the software and autonomy services, and the terms and conditions of your license with Tennant’s technology partner, Brain Corporation, a California Corporation.

Please read the details contained in this agreement to ensure that you are fully informed.

Introduction

This agreement covers the terms and conditions for the use of any Brain Corporation (“Brain”) autonomous navigation software (“software”) contained on any Tennant robotic scrubber (“robotic scrubber”). This agreement forms a legallybinding contract between you and Brain for the use of the software and robotic scrubber(s).

1. Accepting this license

By (a) using the software or the autonomy features, or (b) executing an order form or other agreement that references thisagreement, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement, including its limitations on access, use, transferability, warranty and liability. In addition, you are agreeing that you have the authority to bind yourself (or your employer or other entity on whose behalf you are agreeing) to the terms and conditions of this agreement. You agree that this agreement is enforceable like any written negotiated agreement signed by you. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you may not use the software or the autonomy features or exercise any of the rights granted by this agreement.

2. Autonomy services

During the initial period specified in the purchase order, lease agreement or other agreement for your use of the robotic scrubber and any additional extension of access to the autonomy features, you will be provided the following services (the “autonomy services”):

  1. Autonomy Features. With the autonomous navigation and other features of the software (the “autonomy features”) enabled for a robotic scrubber, the robotic scrubber can clean along routes that you pre-configure. You are solely responsible for the design of all pre-configured routes. Without the autonomy features enabled, therobotic scrubber will not be able to operate autonomously but can be used in manual operation.
  2. Support Services. Tennant will provide first level service on your robotic scrubber. Brain, if necessary, will provide you software support services either directly or through Tennant from a robot operations center (“ROC”), which provide the following, as applicable: (a) cloud-connectivity for remote diagnosis of problems and support relating to the autonomy features; (b) software updates for safety-critical or new software features; and (c) summary data onthe usage and operation of each robotic scrubber.

3. Use of the software and autonomy features by you

You must comply with the usage rules established below that apply to all robotic scrubbers:

  1. You agree that you are responsible for the operation and use of the autonomy features by you and your employees, agents, and contractors and any transferee or other entity that you permit to use the robotic scrubber (“permitee”). Use of the autonomy services and the autonomy features carry the following restrictions and limitations on use as provided in this Section 3 (the “restrictions on use”).
  2. You agree to use the software, autonomy services, or the autonomy features only for purposes that are permitted by (a) this agreement, and (b) any applicable law, regulation, or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions (including any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the United States, orsuch other country in which you use the robotic scrubber).
  3. Approved Uses. The autonomy features allow the robotic scrubber to learn actions performed by an operator and later autonomously perform similar actions based on that learning. Notwithstanding the restrictions on use in this Section 3, you, your employees, agents, contractors, and other permitees, shall only use the robotic scrubber and autonomy services to clean areas and surfaces reasonably cleaned by a manual scrubber of comparable build and design to the base scrubbing unit of the robotic scrubber in “approved environments.” Specifically, these approved environments are physical spaces that are monitored and designated for cleaning using industry standard practices for machinery and wet floors, including caution signage and barriers. You, as well as your employees, agents, contractors, and other permitees, shall use the autonomy services in accordance with the training and the robotic scrubber’s user manuals. These manuals may be updated, revised or otherwise modifiedby Tennant or Brain from time to time.
  4. Training. Tennant shall provide training to you for the operation and use of the robotic scrubber and associated autonomy services.  This training includes operation subject to the restrictions on use described in this Section 3. After you have completed the training for the robotic scrubber, you will be responsible for instructing all operators of the robotic scrubber how to use the robotic scrubber and autonomy services in accordance with the training.Tennant reserves the right to charge for additional on-site training requests.
  5. Cellular Connection. During operation, if access to cellular data is not available for a robotic scrubber, Brain may not be able to provide that robotic scrubber the applicable support services from the ROC described in paragraph2.2. Text alert communications require you to provide a cellular phone with cellular service.
  6. Proper Maintenance and Inspections. You, as well as your employees, agents, contractors, and other permitees, shall only use the software and the autonomy features so long as the robotic scrubber is maintained and operated in accordance with the training and the robotic scrubber’s user manuals. This maintenance and operation shall include, but not  be limited to, (a) inspection of the robotic  scrubber prior  to operation to ensure, among other things, squeegees are properly positioned and cleaned, liquids are filled, and there is no obvious damage to the robotic scrubber, and (b) maintenance and routine service at least in accordance with industry standards for manual scrubbers. All robotic scrubbers are to be stored in a reasonably secure location away from public access.
  7. Conduct Restrictions. You, as well as your employees, agents, contractors, and other permitees, shall not engage in any of the following conduct or activities: (a) operating a robotic scrubber in any manner that constitutes a prohibited use under the robotic scrubber’s user manuals or periodic updates; (b) intentionally tampering with, modifying, or damaging the robotic scrubber or any hardware or sensors containing or associated with the software or  the autonomy services; (c)  installing or modifying, or attempting to install  or modify, any software other than the software on the robotic scrubber (except solely as otherwise permitted under pursuant to any open source licenses, if any, provided to you by Brain, in connection with the software licensed hereunder); (d) installing orattempting to install the software on any hardware or

device other than the robotic scrubber; (e) using the software or the autonomy services to conduct any operation of the robotic scrubber beyond routine cleaning functions within an approved environment; or (f) attempting to deliberately damage or undermine the legitimate operation of the autonomy services or the software. The robotic scrubbers, software, and autonomy services are not designed or intended for use in environments requiring fail-safe performance, including any application in which the failure of the robotic scrubbers, software, and autonomy services would reasonably likely lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe property damage.
