• The "ZZ" in Itron's numbering convention refers to a "Hot Fix Release," which is an unscheduled
<br /> release provided to one or more customers as a short-term, temporary fix to a Severity Level 1 Error. While not utilized by all Itron
<br /> Software product lines, Hot Fix Releases are not made available to Itron customers generally but may be included in the next
<br /> scheduled Service Pack for general release.
<br /> ii. Support for Releases of Itron Enterprise Edition and Openway Software. This subsection applies only
<br /> to Itron Enterprise Edition and OpenWay software products. Maintenance Services for Itron Enterprise Edition and OpenWay software
<br /> products shall be limited to the most recent System Release and the prior System Release (and the most current Service Pack
<br /> Release associated with such System Release). Customer will test and install Service Pack Releases associated with the System
<br /> Release in use by Customer within 12 months of such Service Pack Releases being made available to Customer. Customer will
<br /> upgrade to the latest System Release at least every twenty-four (24) to thirty-six (36) months. At Customer's request, Itron may
<br /> provide Release installation services at its then-current hourly rates. Itron may elect to provide Maintenance Services for an
<br /> unsupported Release of Itron Software at its then-current rates for customer support.
<br /> iii. Support for Releases of all Other Itron Software. This subsection applies to all Itron Software other than
<br /> Itron Enterprise Edition and OpenWay Software products. Maintenance Services for all Itron Software other than Itron Enterprise
<br /> Edition and OpenWay software products shall be limited to the most recent System Release and the two prior Service Pack Releases.
<br /> Customer will test and install System Releases and Service Pack Releases within 12 months of such Releases being made available
<br /> to Customer. At Customer's request, Itron may provide Release installation services at its then-current hourly rates. Itron may elect to
<br /> provide Maintenance Services for an unsupported Release of Itron Software at its then-current rates for customer support.
<br /> e. Mandatory Revision.
<br /> In the event that Itron, in its sole reasonable discretion, determines that any Itron Software is, or may (as applicable) be: (i) subject to a
<br /> material Error; (ii) the subject of a material security breach; or, (iii) be subject to a third party infringement claim or suit of any kind,
<br /> Itron may issue a mandatory revision in correction of one or more of these issues (a "Mandatory Revision"). Itron disclaims all
<br /> liability and obligations that arise due to, or are result of, Customer's failure to test and install a Mandatory Revision in a timely fashion.
<br /> f. Interoperability.
<br /> Itron makes no representation or warranty regarding the ability of the Itron Software to interoperate with third party hardware or
<br /> software other than software or hardware identified as compatible with the Itron Software in Itron's published documentation for such
<br /> Itron Software (the"Documentation").
<br /> g. Documentation and Software Library.
<br /> Itron will make an electronic copy of the Documentation available to Customer at no additional charge via physical media or download
<br /> access. Itron will maintain a copy of its most recent supported version of the executable Itron Software to be made available to
<br /> Customer as necessary in the event of corrupted or inoperative Itron Software.
<br /> h. Restoring Software to Maintenance Services.
<br /> If Customer declines Maintenance Services after the end of warranty or discontinues Maintenance Services for any Itron Software, and
<br /> thereafter wishes to resume Maintenance Services for the most recent Release of such Itron Software, Customer shall, prior to
<br /> receiving such Maintenance Services, notify Itron in writing of its request for Maintenance Services and pay Itron's then-current re-
<br /> initiation fee.
<br /> i. Exclusions.
<br /> Itron shall have no obligation to Customer to the extent any Itron Software is adversely affected by: (i) use of the Itron Software in
<br /> combination with other software, equipment or communications networks that are not referenced in the Documentation; (ii) any
<br /> modification to the software or operating environment that is made other than through the fault of Itron, after the Effective Date; (Hi)the
<br /> use of a version of the Itron Software that is not supported by Itron; (iv) Customer's failure to implement a Fix provided by Itron; (v) the
<br /> operation or maintenance of the Itron Software other than through the fault of Itron; (vi) viruses introduced through no fault of Itron; (vii)
<br /> use of the Itron Software other than as permitted by Itron, including Software operated on Equipment that has been serviced or
<br /> repaired by a third party that is not Itron certified; or (viii) Customer's failure to perform Customer responsibilities in accordance with
<br /> this Agreement.
<br /> j. Customer Responsibilities.
<br /> Remote Communications.
<br /> Customer will obtain, install, operate, and maintain remote communications software and equipment in a manner that will allow for

<br /> H. System Configuration and Administration.
<br /> Customer will ensure that its equipment, system peripherals, operating system, and data communications environment associated with
