Offeror must provide this information on the “Acknowledgement and Acceptance to Region 4 ESC’s Open Record Policy” form found at the beginning of this solicitation. Any information that is unmarked will be considered public information and released, if requested under the Public Information Act.

The determination of whether information is confidential and not subject to disclosure is the duty of the Office of Attorney General (OAG). Region 4 ESC must provide the OAG sufficient information to render an opinion and therefore, vague and general claims to confidentiality by the Offeror are not acceptable. Region 4 ESC must comply with the opinions of the OAG. Region 4 ESC assumes no responsibility for asserting legal arguments on behalf of any vendor. Offeror are advised to consult with their legal counsel concerning disclosure issues resulting from this procurement process and to take precautions to safeguard trade secrets and other proprietary information.

13.2 Disclosures: Offeror affirms that he/she has not given, offered to give, nor intends to give at any time

hereafter any economic opportunity, future employment, gift, loan, gratuity, special discount, trip, favor or service to a public servant in connection with this contract.

Applicable laws and regulation must be followed even if not specifically identified herein.

13.8 Open Records Policy: Because Region 4 ESC contracts are awarded by a governmental entity, responses submitted are subject to release as public information after contracts are executed. If a vendor believes that its response, or parts of its response, may be exempted from disclosure, the vendor must specify page-by-page and line-by-line the parts of the response, which it believes, are exempt. In addition, the Offeror must specify which exception(s) are applicable and provide detailed reasons to substantiate the exception(s). Offeror must provide this information on the “Acknowledgement and Acceptance to Region 4 ESC’s Open Record Policy” form found at the beginning of this solicitation. Any information that is unmarked will be considered public information and released, if requested under the Public Information Act.

The determination of whether information is confidential and not subject to disclosure is the duty of the Office of Attorney General (OAG). Region 4 ESC must provide the OAG sufficient information to render an opinion and therefore, vague and general claims to confidentiality by the Offeror are not acceptable. Region 4 ESC must comply with the opinions of the OAG. Region 4 ESC assumes no responsibility for asserting legal arguments on behalf of any vendor. Offeror are advised to consult with their legal counsel concerning disclosure issues resulting from this procurement process and to take precautions to safeguard trade secrets and other proprietary information.

Salesperson: Order Date:

The undersigned (whether one or more are specified, “Guarantor(s)"), in consideration of CANON SOLUTIONS AMERICA, INC. (“CSA”) entering into a unified lease agreement (together with any schedules or

supplements thereto, “Agreement") with the customer identified above ("Customer"), irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee to Lessor (as defined in the Agreement) and its successors

and assigns, the payment when due of all amounts owed under the Agreement (whether at maturity or upon the occurrence of an event of default or otherwise) and the performance by Customer of all terms of

the Agreement and any other transaction between Customer and Lessor (or CSA as assigned to Lessor) (collectively, "Liabilities”). If Customer shall fail to pay or perform any Liabilities when due, Guarantors

shall, upon demand, pay any amounts which may be due from Customer and take any action required of Customer under the Agreement. This is an absolute and continuing guaranty and Guarantors' liability under

this Guaranty is primary and will not be affected by any settlement, extension, renewal or modification of the Agreement or any discharge or release of Customer's obligations, whether by agreement or operation

of law.

If any payment applied by Lessor on the Liabilities is thereafter set aside, recovered or required to be returned for any reason (including without limitation the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of

Customer or any other person), the Liabilities to which such payment was applied shall for the purposes of this Guaranty be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this

Guaranty shall be enforceable as to such Liabilities as fully as if such application had never been made. This Guaranty may be terminated only upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to CSA and Lessor, and

such termination shall be effective only as to Liabilities arising under schedules, supplements, or agreements entered into after the effective date of termination and shall not affect Lessor’s rights under this

Guaranty arising out of the Agreement or other agreements entered into prior to such date. Guarantors waive all damages, demands, presentments and notices of every kind and nature, any rights of set-off, and

any defenses available to a guarantor (other than the defense of payment and performance in full) under applicable law. Guarantors further waive any (i) notice of the incurring of indebtedness by Customer and

the acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) right to require suit against Customer or any other party before enforcing this Guaranty and (iii) right of subrogation to Lessor’s rights against Customer until the Liabilities

are satisfied in full. Any (a) renewals and extensions of time of payment, (b) release, substitution or compromise of or realization upon the Equipment, other guaranties or any collateral security and (c) exercise

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS1. LEASE OF EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE 1.1 Listed Items; Commencement of Lease; Lessor. CSA shall supply, for lease by you as provided below, and you shall lease the units of equipment (“Equipment”) and licenses of software with separate support contracts, if applicable (“Listed Software”; and together with the Equipment and all replacements and additions thereto, “Listed Items”) indicated on Schedule A. The initial lessor is Canon Financial Services, Inc. (together with any future assignees of its rights as lessor, “Lessor”). You shall keep the Listed Items at the “Ship To” location, not move them to another location without the prior written consent of Lessor (defined below), and keep them free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. This Agreement shall be effective on the date the Listed Items are delivered to you (“Lease Commencement Date”). The term of this Agreement begins on the date accepted by CSA or any later date that CSA designates (“Agreement Date”), and shall continue for an initial term of the number of months specified on page 1(together with any renewal periods, “Lease Term”). Your execution of an acceptance certificate provided by CSA shall conclusively establish that the Listed Items have been delivered to and irrevocably accepted by you. If you have not, within 10 days after delivery of Equipment, delivered to Lessor written notice of non-acceptance of any Equipment, specifying the reasons and referencing this Agreement, you shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Equipment. After acceptance, you shall have no right to cancel this Agreement or return the Listed Items prior to the end of the Lease Term for any reason whatsoever, including termination of any maintenance services that may be provided by CSA under this or any separate agreement. Title to all Listed Items shall be transferred by CSA to Lessor. CSA shall assign to Lessor all of its rights (but none of its obligations) with respect to the Listed Items, including the right to receive all Payments. Lessor does not and shall not assume any obligations under this Agreement. CSA shall remain solely liable for the performance of all maintenance, service, and warranty obligations described in this Agreement. 1.2 Payments and Costs. You shall pay to Lessor each billing period the fixed base and, if applicable, the fixed maintenance amounts and per image charges and all other amounts, as listed and specified on page 1 and Schedule A and such other amounts permitted in this Agreement as invoiced by Lessor (collectively, “Payments”; the fixed maintenance amounts and the per image charges are the “CSA Payments”, and all other Payments are the “Lessor Payments”). For Equipment designated as Corporate Advantage, the meter shall record a quantity of 2 images for any image produced on media wider than 8½”. The Payments shall not increase during the initial term. Prepaid charges shall not be refundable except as provided in Paragraph 2.1(b). Invoices shall be due and payable upon receipt. All Payments will be applied in such order as Lessor, in its discretion, may determine. This lease is a net lease. Lessor Payments shall be made without set-off or deduction, even if the Listed Items malfunction and irrespective of any non-performance by CSA of its maintenance obligations. You authorize Lessor to adjust the Payments and the End of Term Purchase Option amount (if specified on page 1) (“Purchase Option”) by up to 15% if the actual cost of the Listed Items and any related services and supplies, including any sales and use tax, exceed CSA’s estimates on which such amounts were based. You shall pay a $85 documentation fee and any applicable taxes (including personal property tax), expenses, charges and fees imposed with respect to the Listed Items, the Payments or your performance or non-performance under this Agreement, and you shall reimburse Lessor for the same plus processing fees (collectively, “Costs”). You agree that Lessor may in its sole discretion apply, but shall not be obligated to apply, any amounts paid in advance to any amount due or to become due hereunder, and in no event shall any amount paid in advance earn interest unless required by applicable law. If any Payments are late, you shall pay (a) the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is brought, (b) a late charge equal to the higher of 10% of the amount due or $25, as reasonable liquidated damages, and (c) if Lessor should bring court action, you agree that attorney fees equal to 25% of the amount sought shall be deemed reasonable, in each case not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law. 1.3 Purchase Options; Return. (a) END OF TERM PURCHASE OPTION. To elect this option, you shall give Lessor 60 days’ prior irrevocable written notice (unless the Purchase Option price is $1.00) that you will purchase, upon the expiration of the Lease Term, all the Listed Items at the Purchase Option price plus any Costs. (b) PRIOR TO MATURITY PURCHASE. You may upon not less than 60 days’ prior irrevocable written notice, purchase all the Listed Items at a price equal to the sum of all remaining Payments, plus the Fair Market Value, plus Costs. For purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” shall be Lessor’s retail price at the time you notify Lessor of your intent to purchase the Equipment. (c) Listed Item purchases shall be “AS-IS WHERE-IS” without warranty, except for title; purchases of licenses of Listed Software are subject to the terms thereof. (d) Unless this Agreement contains a $1.00 Purchase Option, this Agreement shall automatically renew on a month to month basis at the same Payment amount (subject to increase of CSA Payments) and frequency unless you, at least 60 days before the end of the Lease Term, send to Lessor written notice (the "End of Term Notice") that you either (i) are purchasing all (but not less than all) of the Equipment in accordance with the terms hereof, or (ii) do not want to renew this Agreement, and at the end of the Lease Term shall return the Equipment as provided below. Unless this Agreement automatically renews or you purchase the Equipment as provided in this Agreement, you shall, at the termination of the Lease Term, return the Equipment at your sole cost and expense in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear resulting from proper use excepted, to a location specified by Lessor. Lessor may charge you a return fee equal to the greater of one Lessor Payment or $250 for the processing of returned Equipment. If for any reason you fail to return any Equipment to Lessor as provided in this Agreement by the last day of such Lease Term, you shall pay to Lessor upon demand one billing period's Lessor Payment for each billing period or portion thereof that such return is delayed. If you fail to provide the required End of Term Notice and return the Equipment at the end of the Lease Term, you shall pay to Lessor upon demand the 60-day equivalent of Lessor Payments to satisfy the End of Term Notice period referenced above. You shall reimburse Lessor for any costs incurred by Lessor to place the Listed Items in good operating condition. 2. MAINTENANCE. YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE MAINTENANCE DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 2 (“Maintenance”) ONLY IF YOU HAVE ACCEPTED MAINTENANCE ON PAGE 1. Such services are subject to the exclusions hereinafter described. Maintenance provided to you under separate agreement between CSA and you shall be governed solely by the provisions thereof. 2.1 Covered Service. (a) CSA shall provide all routine preventive maintenance and emergency service necessary to keep the Equipment in good working order in accordance with this Agreement and CSA’s normal practice. Such service shall be performed between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, except holidays. (b) You shall afford CSA reasonable and safe access to the Equipment to perform on-site service. CSA may terminate its maintenance obligations as to any Equipment if you relocate it to a site outside CSA’s service coverage area. If, in CSA’s opinion, any Equipment cannot be maintained in good working order through CSA’s routine maintenance services, CSA may, at its option, (i) substitute comparable Equipment or (ii) cancel any balance of the term of its maintenance obligations as to such Equipment and refund the unearned portion of any prepaid CSA Payments. Parts or Equipment replaced or removed by

CSA in connection with Maintenance shall become the property of Lessor and you disclaim any interest in them. (c) Installation/Implementation of Listed Software may be at an additional charge except to the extent included as a Listed Item and may be conditioned on your agreement to a separate statement of work or other document covering the scope and schedule of installation/implementation, configuration options, responsibilities of each party, and other matters, which shall solely govern as to the matters covered therein. Additional charges may apply for work beyond the initial scope described in such separate document. (d) Support for Listed Software is provided directly by the respective developers thereof and as set forth in each developer’s applicable separate support contract, and is not provided by CSA under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein. Support for Listed Software may require separate purchase by you of a support contract, unless included under this Agreement as a Listed Item. The terms of support contracts for Listed Software are available from the developers, or will be provided to you by CSA upon request. Notwithstanding any provision in the support contract to the contrary, it shall automatically renew on an annual basis, subject to a price increase after the initial term. (e) CSA shall make available to you from time to time upgrades and bug fixes for the software licensed as part of the Equipment and for Listed Software, but: (i) only if such upgrades and bug fixes are provided to CSA by the developers of such Listed Software, (ii) availability of upgrades and bug fixes may be at additional charge, and (iii) installation of such upgrades and bug fixes by CSA if requested by you shall be at additional charge. You are not required to use CSA for installation of either Listed Software or for any upgrades and bug fixes, but if installation is done by anyone other than CSA, CSA shall have no responsibility for any performance or other issues that may result from such installation. (f) CSA shall also use reasonable efforts to provide Level 1 support for the Listed Software (except that for certain Listed Software, Level 1 support shall be provided only if and so long as a separate software support contract for such Listed Software from the developer thereof is in effect). Level 1 support consists of (i) providing help-line telephone assistance in operating the Listed Software and identifying service problems in the Listed Software, and attempting to troubleshoot any such problems; (ii) escalating operating problems to the applicable developer of the Listed Software as needed to rectify such problems, including facilitating contact between you and the developer of the Listed Software as necessary; and (iii) maintaining a log of such problems to assist in tracking the same. 2.2 Maintenance Term and Charges. (a) Maintenance shall start on the Lease Commencement Date and shall continue for the Lease Term. (b) Consumables Inclusive Maintenance includes replenishment of toner only (and other consumables, but only if specified on page 1). Toner is supplied for exclusive use with the Equipment. CSA may terminate the Maintenance if you use consumables in a different manner. If your toner usage exceeds by more than 10% the published manufacturer specifications for conventional office image coverage, CSA may invoice you for such excess usage. You may purchase additional toner from CSA if required. You shall bear all risk of loss, theft or damage to unused consumables, which shall remain CSA’s property and shall be returned promptly upon termination of this Agreement or Maintenance. (c) If you selected the Fleet or Aggregate Coverage Plan on page 1, the Base Charge and the Covered Images Included shall apply to all of the Equipment on Schedule A unless otherwise indicated. If specified on page 1 that the Listed Items are being added to an existing fleet under a previous agreement between you and CSA, (i) the fleet shall include the listed items under the previous agreement, and all other agreements for which the add to existing fleet option was selected, and (ii) the maintenance term for all Listed Items under this Agreement shall be the same as the maintenance term for all listed items under all such previous agreements. (d) If specified on the face page that the Listed Items are being added to an existing Aggregate Coverage Plan under a previous agreement between you and CSA, the Covered Images shall apply to all of the Equipment on the schedule, unless otherwise indicated, plus the listed items under the previous agreement(s), and all other agreements for which the add to existing Aggregate Coverage Plan was selected, on an aggregated basis, for so long as the maintenance term for all such listed items continues. (e) Unless otherwise indicated on Schedule A, you authorize CSA to use networked features of the Equipment including imageWARE to receive software updates, activate features/new licenses and transmit use and service data accumulated by the Equipment over your network by means of an HTTPS protocol and to store, analyze and use such data for purposes related to servicing the Equipment, providing reports and product improvement. This feature is not capable of sending or receiving image data. (f) You shall provide meter readings to CSA in accordance with the Meter Read Method selected. If you selected the myCSA website, you, your employees or agents shall complete CSA’s registration process governing access to and use of such website, and you agree to be bound by, and comply with its Terms of Use. CSA may change your meter read options from time to time upon 60 days’ notice. If CSA does not receive timely meter readings from you, you shall pay invoices that reflect CSA’s estimates of meter readings. CSA may verify the accuracy of any meter readings from time to time and invoice you for any shortfall in the next invoice. (g) You agree that CSA may suspend performance of Maintenance if and so long as any Payments are overdue, and that any such suspension shall not in and of itself be deemed a termination of this Agreement. 2.3 Non-Covered Service. The following services are not included within Maintenance and shall be invoiced in accordance with CSA’s then current labor, parts and supply charges: (a) replacement of any consumables not provided as part of Consumable Inclusive Maintenance identified on page 1, including, without limitation, paper, toner, ink, waste containers, fuser oil, staples (, other media, print heads and puncher dies; (b) repairs necessitated by factors other than normal use including, without limitation, any willful act, negligence, abuse or misuse of the Equipment; the use of parts, supplies or software not supplied by CSA; service performed by anyone other than CSA; accident; use of Equipment with non-compatible hardware or software components; electrical power malfunction or heating, cooling or humidity ambient conditions; (c) de-installation, re-installation, or relocation of Equipment; (d) repairs to or realignment of Equipment and related training necessitated by changes made to your system configuration or network environment; (e) work requested to be performed outside of CSA’s regular business hours; and (f) repair of any network/system connection devices, except when listed on page 1. If you have NOT selected Maintenance on page 1, any of the maintenance services described in Paragraph 2.1 above shall be available only upon your request, either under separate agreement with CSA or invoiced in accordance with CSA’s then current labor, parts and supply charges. Installation of certain Listed Software may also require a separate agreement between you and CSA setting forth the scope of work, your responsibilities in connection with such installation, and other terms and conditions as required by CSA. Such separate agreement(s) shall solely govern, and this Agreement shall not apply to, the services described therein. 3. CSA CUSTOMER SATISFACTION POLICY. If you are not satisfied with the performance

of your Canon or Océ brand product, upon your written request, CSA in its sole discretion will repair or replace the product with a like unit with equivalent capabilities. Prior to replacement, CSA shall have had the opportunity to return the product to good working order in accordance with the terms of this agreement. If a replacement unit is provided, the lease hereunder of the replaced unit shall be deemed terminated and the replacement unit shall be deemed a “Listed Item” for the lease and all other purposes of this Agreement. This policy shall apply only if you are not in default of this Agreement and Maintenance under this Agreement has not been canceled or terminated.

4. DATA. You acknowledge that the hard drive(s) on the Equipment, including attached devices, may retain images, content or other data that you may store for purposes of normal operation of the Equipment (“Data”). You acknowledge that Lessor is not storing Data on behalf of you and that exposure or access to the Data by CSA or Lessor, if any, is purely incidental to the services performed by CSA or Lessor. Neither CSA nor Lessor nor or any of their affiliates has an obligation to erase or overwrite Data upon your return of the Equipment to CSA or Lessor or any other disposition of the Equipment by you. You are solely responsible for: (A) your compliance with applicable law and legal requirements pertaining to data privacy, storage, security, retention and protection; and (B) all decisions related to erasing or overwriting Data. Without limiting the foregoing, you should, (i) enable the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) data erase functionality that is a standard feature on certain Equipment and/or (ii) prior to return or other disposition of the Equipment, utilize the HDD (or comparable) formatting function (which may be referred to as “Initialized All Data/Settings” function) if found on the Equipment to perform a one pass overwrite of Data or, if you have higher security requirements, you may purchase from CSA at current rates an appropriate option for the Equipment, which may include (a) an HDD Data Encryption Kit option which disguises information before it is written to the hard drive using encryption algorithms, (b) an HDD Data Erase Kit that can perform up to a 3-pass overwrite of Data (for Equipment not containing data erase functionality as a standard feature), or (c) a replacement hard drive (in which case you should properly destroy the replaced hard drive). You shall indemnify Lessor, CSA, their subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, damages, losses, judgments or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising or related to the storage, transmission or destruction of the Data. The terms of this section shall solely govern as to Data, notwithstanding that any provisions of this Agreement or any separate confidentiality or data security or other agreement now or hereafter entered into between you and CSA or Lessor applies, or could be construed to apply to Data. 5. LIMITED WARRANTY; EXCLUSIONS & LIMITATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION 5.1 Limited Warranty. Equipment is warranted only as provided in the manufacturer’s warranty provided with the Equipment (for CANON brand Equipment, the manufacturer’s warranty is provided by Canon U.S.A., Inc.). End user warranties, if any, for Listed Software are provided solely by the developers or suppliers of the Listed Software. So long as you are not in breach or default of this Agreement, Lessor assigns to you, solely for the purpose of making and prosecuting any such claim, the rights, if any, which Lessor may have under all such warranties for the Listed Items. 5.2 Disclaimer of Warranties. LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER, DEALER, OR SUPPLIER OF THE LISTED ITEMS. AS BETWEEN YOU AND LESSOR, THE LISTED ITEMS ARE LEASED “AS IS” AND ARE OF A SIZE, DESIGN, AND CAPACITY SELECTED BY YOU. LESSOR HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE LISTED ITEMS. The warranties, if any, provided for any of the Listed Items are enforceable by you only against the Canon company or third party making such warranties, not against any Lessor. CSA is not an agent or representative of Lessor and is not authorized to waive or alter any of Lessor’s rights or make any representation for Lessor about the Listed Items, except to the extent set forth in this Agreement. EACH OF CSA AND LESSOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE RELATING TO THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE LISTED ITEMS OR CSA’S SERVICES. THE FURNISHING OF MAINTENANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ASSURE UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION OR USE OF ANY OF THE LISTED ITEMS. 5.3 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER CSA NOR LESSOR SHALL BE LIABLE FOR

INJURY OR DAMAGE EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY SUCH PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. NEITHER CSA NOR LESSOR SHALL BE LIABLE FOR EXPENDITURES FOR SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES, LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFIT, LOSS, CORRUPTION OR RELEASE OF DATA, FAILURE TO REALIZE SAVINGS OR OTHER BENEFITS, STORAGE CHARGES; OR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED AND EVEN IF CSA OR LESSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 5.4 Indemnification. You shall reimburse Lessor for and defend Lessor against any claim

for losses or injury caused by the Listed Items, before and after the Lease Term ends. 6. ADDITIONAL LEASE REQUIREMENTS. 6.1 Warranty of Business Purpose; Maintenance. You warrant that the Listed Items will not be used for personal, family or household purposes. If at any time for any reason whatsoever CSA’s maintenance obligations have terminated, at your sole expense you shall keep the Equipment in good working order and supply and install replacement parts and accessories when required to maintain the Equipment. Any such replacements shall be the property of Lessor and shall be deemed Equipment. 6.2 Risk of loss; Insurance. Effective upon delivery to you, you shall bear the entire risk of any loss or theft of or damage to the Equipment (“Loss”). You shall obtain and maintain during the term hereunder including all renewals and extensions, at your expense, (a) property insurance for the full replacement value of the Equipment and (b) comprehensive public liability and property damage insurance. All such insurance shall provide for a deductible not exceeding $5,000 and be in form and amount and with companies satisfactory to Lessor. Each insurer providing such insurance shall name Lessor as additional insured and loss payee and provide Lessor 30 days’ prior written notice of alteration or cancellation. You shall deliver certificates or other evidence of insurance to Lessor. You appoint Lessor as your attorney-in-fact solely to make claim for, receive payment of, and execute and endorse documents, checks, or drafts for any Loss. If within 10 days after request you fail to deliver satisfactory evidence of such insurance to Lessor, then Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain insurance covering Lessor’s interests in the Equipment, and add the costs of maintaining such insurance and an administrative fee to the amounts due from you under this Agreement. Lessor and any of its affiliates may make a profit on the foregoing. You shall promptly (i) repair or replace any Equipment subject to a Loss or (ii) pay to Lessor the Remaining Lease Balance (defined below). No Loss shall relieve you of any obligation under this Agreement. 7. DEFAULT; REMEDIES. You shall be in default of this Agreement if: (a) you fail to make any Payments when due or perform any of your other obligations under this Agreement; (b) you fail to make payments when due of any indebtedness to Lessor; (c) you or any guarantor of your obligations (“Guarantor”) cease doing business as a going concern; (d) you or any Guarantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) a petition or proceeding is filed by or against you or any Guarantor under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; (f) a receiver, trustee, conservator, or liquidator is appointed for you, any Guarantor, or any of your or any Guarantor’s property; (g) any statement, representation or warranty made by you or any Guarantor to CSA or Lessor is incorrect in any material respect; or (h) you or

any Guarantor who is a natural person die. If you are in default, you shall pay for Lessor’s reasonable collection and other costs, and without limiting any of CSA’s rights hereunder or under applicable law, Lessor may exercise (on behalf of itself and, as applicable, CSA) any one or all of the following remedies: (1) declare all unpaid Payments (other than per image charges) immediately due and payable, with Lessor retaining title to the Listed Items; (2) terminate any and all agreements with you; (3) without notice, demand or legal process, retake possession of the Listed Items (and you authorize Lessor to enter upon the premises where the Listed Items may be found) and (A) retain the Listed Items and all Payments and other sums paid, (B) re-lease the Listed Items and recover from you the amount by which the Remaining Lease Balance exceeds the value attributed to the Listed Items by Lessor for purposes of calculating the payments under the new lease agreement, or (C) sell the Listed Items and recover from you the amount by which the Remaining Lease Balance exceeds the net amount received by Lessor from such sale; or (4) pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity. Lessor may sell the Listed Items after preparing them or not and may disclaim warranties of title and the like. If the Listed Items are not available for sale, you shall be liable for the Remaining Lease Balance and any other amounts due. The “Remaining Lease Balance” shall be the sum of: (i) all Lessor Payments then owed by you to Lessor; (ii) the present value of all remaining Lessor Payments for the full Lease Term; (iii) the Purchase Option price of the Listed Items indicated on the face of this Agreement; plus (iv) any applicable taxes, expenses, charges, and fees. For purposes of determining present value, Lessor Payments shall be discounted at 3% per year. 8. SECURITY; WAIVER. You authorize Lessor to file any form of financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto. THE LEASE CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED AS A "FINANCE LEASE" AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (“UCC 2A) AND LESSOR IS ENTITLED TO ALL BENEFITS, PRIVILEGES AND PROTECTIONS OF A LESSOR UNDER A FINANCE LEASE, AND YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT OF NOTICE THEREOF. YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS AS A LESSEE UNDER UCC 2A SECTIONS 508-522. If the lease is determined not to be a true lease, you grant Lessor a security interest in the Listed Items. Your exact legal name, your chief executive office address, and your jurisdiction of organization are as set forth on page 1; if you change any of them or the corporate structure, you shall provide prior written notice to Lessor 30 days before such change. Upon request, you will execute and deliver to Lessor such documents as required or appropriate. 9. GENERAL 9.1 Choice of Law and Forum. THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL CLAIMS, DISPUTES AND CAUSES OF ACTION RELATING THERETO, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR STATUTE, SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF NEW JERSEY WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. YOU CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN CAMDEN OR BURLINGTON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, OR AT LESSOR’S OPTION IN ANY STATE WHERE YOU OR THE EQUIPMENT ARE LOCATED. YOU WAIVE OBJECTIONS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, TO VENUE AND TO CONVENIENCE OF FORUM. ANY SUIT, OTHER THAN ONE SEEKING PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS DUE, SHALL BE COMMENCED, IF AT ALL, WITHIN 1 YEAR OF THE DATE THAT THE CLAIM ACCRUES. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUIT BETWEEN THEM. 9.2 Entire Agreement; Electronic Acceptance. This Agreement shall be binding upon you

when you sign it, upon CSA when CSA has installed the Equipment, and upon Lessor when you have accepted the Listed Items. All provisions of this Agreement, including Section 4, which by their nature can be construed to survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement shall so survive. CSA or Lessor may insert missing or correct other information including the Listed Item description, serial number, and location; and corrections to your legal name; but otherwise this Agreement (together with any separate agreement entered into between you and CSA as described in Section 2.3 above) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any purchase order utilized by you shall be for your administrative convenience only, and any terms therein which conflict with, vary from or supplement the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. No representation or statement shall be binding upon Lessor or CSA as a warranty or otherwise unless it is contained in the original of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except in a written amendment signed by an authorized signer of CSA and you. If a court finds any provision to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. You expressly disclaim having relied upon any statement concerning the capability, condition, operation, performance or specifications of the Listed Items, except to the extent set forth in the original of this Agreement. CSA or Lessor may accept electronic images of this Agreement or any Acceptance Certificate as originals, and electronic copies of your signature will be treated as original for all purposes. 9.3 Joint and Several Liability; Assignment. If more than one entity executes this Agreement as the Customer, your obligations shall be joint and several. YOU SHALL NOT ASSIGN OR PLEDGE THIS AGREEMENT, NOR SHALL YOU SUBLET OR LEND ANY LISTED ITEMS. Each of CSA and Lessor may pledge or assign its rights under this Agreement. If a Lessor assigns its rights, the assignee will have the same rights and benefits that the Lessor had and shall not have any obligations hereunder. The rights of the assignee will not be subject to any claims, defenses, or setoffs that you may have against the Lessor. 9.4 Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be sufficient if delivered personally, sent via facsimile or other electronic transmission, or mailed to such party at the address set forth on page 1 or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time. Notices shall be effective 3 days after deposit in the U.S. mail, duly addressed, or upon delivery via personal or express delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These are the additional terms and conditions referred to on page 1 to which they are attached (such page 1, and any addendum(s) hereto, collectively with these terms and conditions, the “Agreement”). 6. CSA RESPONSIBLITIES (a) CSA may tag each Printer initially listed on Schedule A, Schedule A-MICR or Schedule B with a CSA Service tag indicating serial # and CSA contact information. (b) Printers listed on Schedule A, A-MICR and B are provided replenishment of Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) or 3rd Party manufactured toner cartridges, as indicated on Page 1, for exclusive use with the Printers specified on Schedule A, A-MICR and B. The pricing in this agreement is based upon 5% toner coverage for black & white and 20% for color letter size pages. You agree that CSA may invoice you for excess usage in the event your actual toner usage exceeds these assumptions by more than 10%. Excess toner charges shall be computed using the expected print volume (“EPV”) minus the actual print volume reported. The EPV = actual number of cartridges shipped x the toner yield per cartridge x 90%. You shall bear all risk of loss, theft or damage to unused toner cartridges provided to you under this Agreement, which shall remain CSA’s property and shall be returned promptly upon termination of this Agreement. (c) CSA will perform an initial walkthrough of Customer locations covered under this Agreement. Customer shall identify each networked and non-networked device to be covered under this agreement. CSA will deliver, install, configure and test its network Data Collection Agent (“DCA”) with your IT staff assistance. CSA will provide all technical support, updates and maintenance for the DCA. (d) You acknowledge that CSA’s ability to deliver the services is dependent upon your full and timely cooperation with CSA, as well as the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by you to CSA. If, during the initial three (3) months of the Term, the assumptions used to develop the pricing and any related Statement of Work is found to be incorrect or misstated, the parties agree to meet and in good faith negotiate equitable changes in the scope of work and associated charges. You agree to follow the detailed operational procedures which are explained in the MDS Customer Expectation Document which you hereby acknowledge receipt of at the time of executing this agreement. 7. SERVICES. YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE SERVICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 7 ONLY FOR THE EQUIPMENT LISTED ON A SCHEDULE A, SCHEDULE A-MICR, CHANGE ORDER FORM A, OR CHANGE ORDER FORM A-MICR . Such services are subject to the exclusions hereinafter described. 7.1 COVERED SERVICES. (a) CSA shall provide all routine preventive maintenance, maintenance kits and emergency service necessary to keep the Printers in good working order in accordance with this Agreement and CSA’s normal practice. Such service shall be performed during CSA’s local regular business hours (8:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, except holidays). (b) You shall afford CSA full, free and safe access to the Printers to perform on-site service. CSA may terminate its maintenance obligations as to any Printers if you relocate it to a site outside CSA’s authorized service territory. If, in CSA’s opinion, any Printers cannot be maintained in good working order through CSA’s routine maintenance services, CSA shall, at its option, either (i) substitute comparable Printers at your expense or (ii) cancel the balance of any remaining term of this Agreement as to such Printers and refund the unearned portion of any prepaid charges hereunder. Parts replaced or removed by CSA in connection with maintenance services hereunder shall become the property of CSA and you disclaim any interest therein. 7.2 NON-COVERED SERVICE. You acknowledge that CSA shall not have obligations related to i) overhauls and/or reconditioning of printers; ii) printer user errors; (iii) the alteration, modification or customization of any software controlling, used by, installed on or embedded in the Printers; (iv) the service or repair of devices, accessories, power, data or communication lines or other instruments which are external to or otherwise not a component part of the Printers; (v) data erasure or hard drive removal or (vi) supplying external communications or data transfer lines, paper or other throughput, staples, cassettes, exit trays or other like items or supplies (other than toner cartridges as defined in section 3 ) used or consumed in the normal operations of the Printers (“Excluded Items”). The following services, and any other work beyond the scope of this Agreement, shall be invoiced in accordance with CSA’s then current labor, parts and supply charges: (a) replacement of any consumable supply item other than toner, (b) repairs necessitated by factors other than normal use including, without limitation, any willful act, negligence, abuse or misuse of the Printers; the use of parts, supplies or software which are not supplied by CSA and which cause abnormally frequent service calls or service problems; service performed by personnel other than CSA personnel; transportation of the Printers; accident; use of the Printers with non-compatible hardware or software components; electrical power malfunction or heating, cooling or humidity ambient conditions; (c) re-installation or relocation of Printers; (d) repairs to or realignment of Printers, and related training, necessitated by changes you made to your system configuration or network environment; (e) repairs or service required as a result of inadequate operation of the Printers (e.g., CSA technician is dispatched to rectify a problem described in the operator manual); (f) work which you request to be performed outside of CSA’s regular business hours. 8. LIMITED WARRANTY. CSA’s services shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with generally prevailing industry practices, and all parts and materials provided by CSA shall be free from defects in materials or workmanship, for a period of thirty days after the date of installation. This limited warranty excludes normal wear and tear on parts or components thereof and Printer problems arising from or related to Excluded Items, misuse, abuse, neglect, accident or improper maintenance (other than services performed by CSA) and shall be null and void if you or any third party alters or modifies the Printers in any manner after CSA repairs or services the Printers. 9. DATA. You acknowledge that hard drive(s) on the Equipment, including attached devices, may retain images, content or other data that you may store for purposes of normal operation of the Equipment (“Data”). You acknowledge that CSA is not storing Data on behalf of you and that exposure or access to the Data by CSA, if any, is purely incidental to the services performed by CSA. Neither CSA nor any of their affiliates has an obligation to erase or overwrite Data upon your return of the Equipment to CSA or any leasing company. You are solely responsible for: (i) your compliance with applicable law and legal requirements pertaining to data privacy, storage, security, retention and protection; and (ii) all decisions related to erasing or overwriting Data. Without limiting the foregoing, you should, (a) enable Hard Disk Drive (HDD) data erase functionality that may be available on certain Equipment and/or (b) prior to return or other disposition of the Equipment, utilize the HDD (or comparable) formatting function if found on the Equipment to perform an overwrite of the Data. or, if you have higher security requirements, you may purchase from CSA at current rates an available option for the Equipment, which may include (x) an HDD Data Encryption Kit option which disguises information before it is written to the hard drive using encryption algorithms, (y) a HDD Data Erase Kit

that can perform up to a 3-pass overwrite of Data or (z) a replacement hard drive (in which case you should properly destroy the replaced hard drive). The terms of this Section 9 shall solely govern as to Data, notwithstanding that any provisions of this Agreement or any separate confidentiality or data security or other agreement now or hereafter entered into between you and CSA could be construed to apply to Data. 10. EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. CSA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE RELATING TO THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRINTERS AND SOFTWARE (OR ANY METER READ COLLECTION METHOD PROVIDED BY CSA). YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FURNISHING OF MAINTENANCE SERVICE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ASSURE UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION AND USE OF THE PRINTERS, SOFTWARE (OR METER COLLECTION METHODS). CSA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY CSA’S NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. CSA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR EXPENDITURES FOR SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES, LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFIT, LOSS, CORRUPTION OR RELEASE OF DATA, FAILURE TO REALIZE SAVINGS OR OTHER BENEFITS, STORAGE CHARGES OR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED AND EVEN IF CSA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 11. DEFAULT. You shall be in default of this Agreement if you fail to perform any of your obligations under this Agreement, including making prompt undisputed payments when due. CSA may terminate this Agreement upon your default with thirty (30) days notice to you. If an overdue payment is disputed in good faith within thirty (30) days after the due date thereof, you shall pay all undisputed amounts and promptly make a good faith effort to resolve such dispute with CSA. In the event of your default, CSA may, without limiting its other rights and remedies available under applicable law and this Agreement, require you to pay all charges then due but unpaid, including any applicable late charges, plus the remaining base charges for the balance of the term (not to exceed a period of 6 months). You agree that such charges are reasonable liquidated damages for loss of bargain and not a penalty. 12. TERMINATION. Either party may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, by providing thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. CSA may also terminate this Agreement upon five (5) days written notice in the event of your failure to pay compensation due hereunder. Should you terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term other than for a material, uncured breach by CSA, you shall immediately pay to CSA an early termination fee equal to the average monthly billing to date and any excess toner charges per Section 6(b). Early termination charges are due in full immediately with the written termination notice, and are intended as a reasonable estimate of the anticipated damages to CSA arising from set-up, personnel training and similar costs. Your termination will not be effective until the early termination fee and any excess toner charges are paid in full. Any rights or remedies of either party existing prior to or as of the date of termination, such as for compensation, shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. You shall promptly return, or permit CSA to remove, any Printers, parts, software or supplies owned, controlled or licensed by CSA. 13. CHOICE OF LAW AND FORUM. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW YORK UPON SERVICE OF PROCESS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE STATUTES AND RULES OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE UNITED STATES.

ANY SUIT BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO, OTHER THAN ONE SEEKING PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS DUE HEREUNDER, SHALL BE COMMENCED, IF AT ALL, WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE THAT THE CLAIM ACCRUES. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUIT BETWEEN THEM. 14. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be binding upon you when you sign this Agreement, and shall be binding upon CSA upon commencement of the covered services. CSA is and shall at all times be an independent contractor and shall not be deemed an employee or agent of you. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties. This Agreement and the attached exhibits contain the complete agreement between the parties and shall, as of the Effective Date hereof, supersede all other agreements, if any, between the parties relating to the services provided hereunder.

No modification, amendment, supplement to or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto unless made in writing and duly signed by both parties. All provisions of this Agreement including Section 9, which by their nature can be construed to survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement shall so survive. Any purchase order utilized by you shall be for your administrative convenience only, and any terms therein which conflict with, vary from or supplement the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. A failure of either party to exercise any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any right under this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the respective parties. This Agreement shall not be assignable by you without CSA’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void If a court finds any provision of this Agreement (or part thereof) to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Headings are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement. You agree that CSA may accept an electronic image of this Agreement as an original, and that electronic copies of your signature will be treated as an original for all purposes.

REMEDIES: Upon the happening of any one or more Events of Default, CFS shall have the right to exercise any one or all of the following remedies (which shall be cumulative), simultaneously, or serially, and in any order: (a) to require Customer to immediately pay all Payments hereunder (whether or not then due) and other amounts due under this Agreement, with CFS retaining title to the Equipment; (b) to terminate any and all agreements with Customer; (c) with or without notice, demand or legal process, to enter upon the premises wherever the Equipment may be found, to retake possession of any or all of the Equipment, and (i) retain such Equipment and all Payments and other sums paid hereunder, or (ii) sell the Equipment and recover from Customer the amount by which the Remaining Lease Balance exceeds the net amount received by CFS from such sale; or (d) to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity.

No waiver of any of Customer's obligations, conditions or covenants shall be effective unless contained in a writing signed by CFS.

CFS may pledge or transfer this Agreement. Customer agrees that if CFS transfers this Agreement, the assignee will have the same rights and benefits that CFS has now and will not have to perform any of CFS’ obligations which CFS will continue to perform. Customer agrees that the rights of the assignee will not be subject to any claims, defenses, or set-offs that Customer may have against CFS. If Customer is given notice of any such transfer, Customer agrees, if so directed therein, to pay directly to the assignee all or any part of the amounts payable hereunder. 19.

Unless this Agreement automatically renews or Customer purchases the Equipment as provided herein, Customer shall, at the termination of this Agreement, return the Equipment at its sole cost and expense in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear resulting from proper use excepted, to a location specified by CFS. CFS may charge Customer a return fee equal to the greater of one Payment or $250 for the processing of returned Equipment. If for any reason Customer shall fail to return the Equipment to CFS as provided herein, Customer shall pay to CFS upon demand one billing period's Payment for each billing period or portion thereof that such return is delayed. Customer shall reimburse CFS for any costs incurred by CFS to place the Equipment in good operating condition. 20. PURCHASE OPTION: (A) END OF TERM PURCHASE OPTION. To exercise this option, Customer shall give CFS sixty (60) days’ prior irrevocable written notice (unless the Purchase Option is $1.00) that it will purchase all the Equipment at the end of the initial term or any renewal term for the Purchase Option price indicated on the face of this Agreement plus any applicable taxes, expenses, charges and fees. (B) PRIOR TO MATURITY PURCHASE. Customer may, at any time, upon sixty (60) days’ prior irrevocable written notice purchase all (but not less than all) the Equipment at a price equal to the sum of all remaining Payments plus the Fair Market Value, plus any applicable taxes, expenses, charges and fees. For purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” shall be CFS’ retail price at the time Customer notifies CFS of its intent to purchase the Equipment. Upon proper notice and payment by Customer of the amounts specified above, CFS shall transfer the Equipment to Customer “AS-IS WHERE-IS” without any representation or warranty whatsoever, except for title, and this Agreement shall terminate. 21. DATA: Customer acknowledges that the hard drive(s) on the Equipment, including attached devices, may retain images, content or other data that Customer may store for purposes of normal operation of the Equipment (“Data”). Customer acknowledges that CFS is not storing Data on behalf of Customer and that exposure or access to the Data by CFS, if any, is purely incidental to the services performed by CFS. Neither CFS nor any of its affiliates has an obligation to erase or overwrite Data upon Customer’s return of the Equipment to CFS. Customer is solely responsible for: (A) its compliance with applicable law and legal requirements pertaining to data privacy, storage, security, retention and protection; and (B) all decisions related to erasing or overwriting Data. Without limiting the foregoing, if applicable, Customer should, (i) enable the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) data erase functionality that is a standard feature on certain Equipment and/or (ii) prior to return or other disposition of the Equipment, utilize the HDD (or comparable) formatting function (which may be referred to as “Initialized All Data/Settings” function) if found on the Equipment to perform a one pass overwrite of Data or, if Customer has higher security requirements, Customer may purchase from its Canon dealer at current rates an appropriate option for the Equipment, which may include (a) an HDD Data Encryption Kit option which disguises information before it is written to the hard drive using encryption algorithms, (b) an HDD Data Erase Kit that can perform up to a 3-pass overwrite of Data (for Equipment not containing data erase functionality as a standard feature), or (c) a replacement hard drive (in which case Customer should properly destroy the replaced hard drive). Customer shall indemnify CFS, its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, damages, losses, judgments or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or related to the storage, transmission or destruction of the Data. This section survives termination or expiration of this Agreement. The terms of this section shall solely govern as to Data, notwithstanding that any provisions of this Agreement or any separate confidentiality or data security or other agreement now or hereafter entered into between Customer and CFS applies, or could be construed to apply to Data. 22. MAXIMUM INTEREST; RECHARACTERIZED AGREEMENT: No Payment is intended to exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged or collected by applicable laws, and any such excess Payment will be applied to payments due under this Agreement, in inverse order of maturity, and thereafter shall be refunded. If this Agreement is recharacterized as a conditional sale or loan, Customer hereby grants to CFS, its successors and assigns, a security interest in the Equipment to secure payment and performance of Customer's obligations under this Agreement. 23. UCC - ARTICLE 2A: CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED AS A “FINANCE LEASE” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (“UCC 2A”) AND THAT CFS IS ENTITLED TO ALL BENEFITS, PRIVILEGES AND PROTECTIONS OF A LESSOR UNDER A FINANCE LEASE. CUSTOMER WAIVES ITS RIGHTS AS A LESSEE UNDER UCC 2A SECTIONS 508-522. 24. WAIVER OF OFFSET: This Agreement is a net lease. If the Equipment is not properly installed, does not operate as represented or warranted, or is unsatisfactory for any reason, Customer shall make such claim solely against the supplier, dealer, or manufacturer. Customer waives any and all existing and future claims and offsets against any Payments or other charges due under this Agreement, and unconditionally agrees to pay such Payments and other charges, regardless of any offset or claim which may be asserted by Customer or on its behalf. 25. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN EXECUTED BY CFS IN, AND SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE DEEMED A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO IN, THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. ANY ACTION BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND CFS SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF CAMDEN OR BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY, OR AT CFS' SOLE OPTION, IN THE STATE WHERE CUSTOMER OR THE EQUIPMENT IS LOCATED. CUSTOMER, BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY HEREOF, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES OBJECTIONS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND OBJECTIONS TO VENUE AND CONVENIENCE OF FORUM. CUSTOMER, BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY HEREOF, AND CFS, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS. 26. MISCELLANEOUS: All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be sufficient if delivered personally, sent via facsimile or other electronic transmission, or mailed to such party at the address set forth in this Agreement, or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time. Any notice from CFS to Customer shall be effective three (3) days after it has been deposited in the mail, duly addressed. All notices to CFS from Customer shall be effective after it has been received via U.S. mail, express delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission. If there should be more than one party executing this Agreement as Customer, all obligations to be performed by Customer shall be the joint and several liability of all such parties. Customer's representations, warranties, and covenants under this Agreement shall survive the delivery and return of the Equipment. Any provision of this Agreement that may be determined by competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement. No such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Customer agrees that CFS may insert missing information or correct other information on this Agreement including the Equipment's description, serial number, and location, and corrections to Customer’s legal name; otherwise, this Agreement contains the entire arrangement between Customer and CFS and no modifications of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties. Customer agrees that CFS may accept a facsimile or other electronic transmission of this Agreement or any Acceptance Certificate as an original, and that facsimile or electronically transmitted copies of Customer's signature will be treated as an original for all purposes.

THIS MUNICIPAL FISCAL FUNDING ADDENDUM (“ADDENDUM”) WILL BE OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT IF THE CUSTOMER IS NOT A STATE OR A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF A STATE WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 103(C) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED.

Customer warrants that it has funds available to pay Payments payable pursuant to the agreement (whether designated a lease, rental, master lease, or otherwise, together with any schedules, the “Agreement”) until the end of its current appropriation period and warrants that it presently intends to make Payments in each appropriation period from now until the end of this Agreement. The officer of Customer responsible for preparation of Customer's annual budget shall request from its legislative body or funding authority funds to be paid to CFS under this Agreement. If notwithstanding the making in good faith of such request in accordance with appropriate procedures and with the exercise of reasonable care and diligence, such legislative body or funding authority does not appropriate funds to be paid to CFS for the Equipment, Customer may, upon prior written notice to CFS, effective upon the exhaustion of the funding authorized for the then current appropriation period, return the Equipment to CFS, at Customer's expense and in accordance with this Agreement, and thereupon, Customer shall be released of its obligation to make Payments to CFS due thereafter, provided: (1) the Equipment is returned to CFS as provided for in the Agreement; (2) the above described notice states the failure of the legislative body or funding authority to appropriate the necessary funds as the reason for cancellation; and (3) such notice is accompanied by payment of all amounts then due to CFS under the Agreement. In the event Customer returns the Equipment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, CFS shall retain all sums paid by Customer. Customer's Payment obligations under this Agreement in any fiscal year shall constitute a current expense of Customer for such fiscal year, and shall not constitute indebtedness or a multiple fiscal year obligation of Customer under Customer's state constitution, state law or home rule charter. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a pledge by Customer of any taxes or other monies, other than as appropriated for a specific fiscal year for this Agreement and the Equipment.

The undersigned represents and warrants to CFS that all action required to authorize the execution and delivery of this Addendum on behalf of the above referenced Customer by the following signatory has been duly taken and remains in full force and effect.

COMPANY PROFILE

Please provide the following:

1. Company’s official registered name.

Canon Solutions America, Inc.

2. Brief history of your company, including the year it was established.

1970-1980

What would become Canon Business Solutions began as four independently operating organizations

marketing the Canon brand of office and production equipment in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,

and Los Angeles.

1980-1999

Canon continued to set new industry standards for black-and-white, color, and fax technology. By the

end of the 1990s, all four independent sales companies had been purchased by Canon U.S.A. and

comprised the foundation of the Canon subsidiary sales and service network.

2000-2010

Under the direction of Canon U.S.A., the four foundational offices changed their marketing to come

under the banner Canon Business Solutions as a means to differentiate and showcase their offerings in

the Canon family. Coinciding with the name change was a national expansion to many of the top

metropolitan regions within the United States.

In 2003, the New York and Philadelphia subsidiary companies merged to combine their strengths and

grow throughout the East Coast, while the Chicago office would serve as the foundation for the new

Central region and Los Angeles the same for the new Western region. By 2008, the three regions

officially merged to form Canon Business Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A.,

Inc. The combined strength and shared vision of the Canon Business Solutions company would better

position Canon to meet the growing demands of customers locally, regionally, and nationally with a

streamlined organization of enhanced systems and processes to benefit all customers. Canon Business

Solutions opened more than 50 offices across the U.S., dedicated to the business customer and designed

around a mindset of superior sales and service solutions.

2011-Present

In 2010, a Canon U.S.A. subsidiary acquired assets of North Carolina-based Tereck Office Solutions,

Inc. as a means to continue to grow Canon Business Solutions offerings specifically in North and South

Carolina and the surrounding areas. The subsidiary, Canon Business Solutions-Tereck, merged into

Canon Business Solutions in 2011.

Appendix F: Company Profile Canon Solutions America, Inc.

In 2008, assets of San Francisco-based Newcal Industries were acquired by a Canon U.S.A.

subsidiary to grow the Western footprint of Canon Business Solutions, continuing Canon’s vision to be

the leading document and imaging sales and services organization in the United States. The subsidiary,

Canon Business Solutions-Newcal was merged into Canon Business Solutions in 2012.

On January 1, 2013, Canon U.S.A. merged Océ North America into Canon Business Solutions to form

one of the largest document and imaging business-to-business sales and service organizations in the

world. The merged organization has been renamed Canon Solutions America, Inc.

Peter Kowalczuk

Executive Vice President, ESS Sales and Zone Operations

As Executive Vice President of Enterprise Services & Solutions (ESS) Sales and Zone

Operations, Peter Kowalczuk has full P&L responsibility for operations and sales for the

Enterprise Services & Solutions division. His mission aligns with that of the company as a

whole, which is to create value not just through hardware, but software, managed print services,

and professional services as well.

Mr. Kowalczuk began his career in 1984 with Ambassador Office Equipment, Inc., one of the

four companies that would eventually become Canon Business Solutions, Inc. In recent years,

he played an integral role in the merger of that company with Océ North America to create

Canon Solutions America.

His vital contributions during this time firmly established him as the head of sales for the

Enterprise Services & Solutions division, the largest segment of the company.

Building on this achievement and his decades of industry experience, Mr. Kowalczuk found a

renewed passion through the expansion of his responsibilities to include sales and operations

for the division. His long tenure with the company brings a distinct perspective to the executive

team of Canon Solutions America, and his leadership of the revitalized Enterprise Services &

Solutions organization will ensure that the division will continue to build on its success and

deliver on its mission to drive productivity and sustainability for businesses of all sizes and in all

industries.

the technological curve requires a commitment to excellence that never ceases from research and

development to manufacturing and marketing.

We provide a more compelling offering for customers - The competition in our industry is

growing from key manufacturers who have enhanced their line of products and expanded their

dealer network through acquisition. However, the combination of Canon Inc. technology, document

management solutions and the level of support we provide to our customers is second to none.

We provide quality and reliability – Some manufacturers in the industry have built a progressively

larger base through consolidation of manufacturers and acquisition of dealerships. Those

manufacturers typically deliver lower price points resulting in more frequent consideration for their

technology; however, the quality and reliability of Canon products coupled with the services

capability make Canon Solutions America the smart choice for your long-term needs.

In addition, Canon has:

Proven technology and solutions

o Highly reliable, easy to use, productive

o Integration to third-party software

o Industry leading solutions for security and confidentiality

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYManaged print solutions designed for the Region 4 Education Service Center and The Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN)

PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND SOLUTIONS

Canon Solutions America’s Managed Print Services (MPS) offering provides support for a variety of output devices, ranging from full-console copiers and multifunction devices to small desktop printers. The scope of the support Canon Solutions America can provide is fully scalable beginning with simple device monitoring and toner fulfillment to a comprehensive, enterprise level, fully managed engagement with Canon full-time on-site labor.

Canon Solutions America can provide support for a wide variety of makes and models; however, one of Canon Solutions America’s overriding goals will be to help the client reduce their dependence on these smaller, costlier-to-operate devices.

Detailed recommendations will be developed and offered to the client only after a careful assessment and thorough examination of the total device inventory is completed.

Canon is an incredibly broad and diversified manufacturer. Unique to Canon Solutions America is our ability to offer these diverse technology solutions to our clients, going beyond the initial engagement. As a global tier one purveyor of technology solutions, we strive to broaden each client engagement and expand the scope in a manner that increases the value for our clients.

Delivery timeframes vary and are impacted by the very nature and scope of the initial engagement and project. Once the nature and scope of a particular engagement is known and agreed to, a project plan is developed specific to that project, with specific agreed to timelines. Depending on the scope, project plans can range from very simple to complex. It is the project plan that outlines in detail the timelines and milestones for the project.

Canon Solutions America’s approach to MPS generally covers five distinct phases: (1) discover and analyze, (2) design, (3) deploy and transition, (4) support and manage, and (5) evaluate & review.

Every client engagement is unique and specific timelines vary according to the scope.

• Discover and analyze – as little as 1-3 days for a physical assessment for one small location to several weeks/months for large-scale organizations with many locations.

• Design – as little as 1-3 days for small projects to several weeks for large-scale projects.

• Deploy and transition – turn-around times for implementation are variable and scope-dependent, but Canon Solutions America can begin delivering equipment within a week or two of an agreement.

Page 79: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

If implementations contain more complex components such as a fully managed print center, implementation times are of course longer.

• Support and manage – this is an on-going phase by design and constitutes the majority of Canon Solutions America’s time supporting the Client.

• Evaluate and review – as part of Canon Solutions America’s commitment to continual improvement and innovation, a necessary component is to measure performance and this is performed in an on-going fashion throughout the engagement.

ASSESSMENT PHASE

The assessment phase (discovery and analysis) is critical to designing a solution that makes sense to the client. It is in this phase that the “current state” is identified, quantified, cataloged, and contemplated.

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

Canon Solutions America prefers to over-communicate to help facilitate implementation planning and execution. The general approach adopted to implementation is critical to the success of the overall project and client acceptance. We prefer to take a collaborative approach and create a client-specific plan that works for all parties.

For Canon Solutions America, public sector clients comprise a successful and very important tier of customer, in particular K-12 and Higher Education. Canon Solutions America has many engagements in this space, ranging from basic managed print to full enterprise managed services with onsite staffing.

TRAINING FOR CLIENT

Training begins immediately following device installation for larger MFDs. Basic device orientation is the first exposure a client may receive to the new Canon technology. Covered are such basics as on/off procedures, authentication at the device if applicable, how to replace toner and paper, how to navigate the operation panel, etc. Following this basic introduction, Canon Solutions America provides in-depth web-based training as a standard and on-going offering. This allows for unlimited training opportunities at the client’s own pace and location for as long as the device is installed and used. The vast majority of Canon Solutions America’s clients rely on these two forms of training. In the case of larger enterprise managed services engagements,

customized training plans are often developed which include the elements mentioned above, but can also include instructor-led training, scheduled in advance and with the client organization.

FLEET MANAGEMENT

Canon Solutions America provides for any on-site staffing requirements as part of our enterprise managed services offering. In those cases, the “solution” comprises all aspects related to the offering from equipment and supplies to staffing requirements, software, implementation, change management, first service responder, etc. These are priced according to the requirements of each individual client since no two engagements are alike.

For smaller, client-owned desktop devices, replacement would depend on client requirements, but this would present an opportunity to eliminate the device from the fleet completely and migrate the print volume to a shared workgroup device.

Under Canon Solutions America’s MPS Program, small desktop legacy devices are included in the support model, whereby Canon Solutions America will provide consumable supplies only (standard) OR full break/fix inclusive of parts and labor in addition to consumable supplies (premier). Not all legacy devices will be offered premier level support.

Meter reads for devices are an important part of generating and providing accurate usage-based invoices to the client. It is important that the process of meter read collection be as automated as possible.

Canon Solutions America may offer the client a “flat rate billing” option for devices that are not connected to the network.

Service calls from client end-users are placed one of several ways:

i. Calling the toll-free number for Canon Solutions America Service

ii. Placing an order for service via the “myCSA web portal”

iii. Placing an order for service with the client’s internal Help Desk

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE and imageCLASS devices have built-in capabilities to communicate device information directly to Canon and fleet management utilities. Firmware updates and individual and global device settings can be remotely managed and deployed.

ADMINISTRATION

Canon Solutions America’s formal quarterly review process is designed to provide a formal setting during which new ideas for improvement are presented and discussed with each client. Since each client is unique, these reviews can take many different forms. However, what is common to all reviews is our desire to leverage new advances in Canon technology or solutions that were previously not available. It is Canon Solutions America’s responsibility to ensure the client has a thorough and current understanding of Canon’s capabilities and new technologies.

Canon Solutions America utilizes two main components within the context of the managed print offering. First, the capability to provide factory-level support and supplies for Canon and non-Canon brands of desktop printing devices is key. Executed swiftly and consistently, a well-run MPS program can help achieve 10-15% savings in print spend. Secondly, and in addition to traditional MPS, changing end-user behavior in how print is utilized is key to helping double the possible savings. End-user behavior change is attainable through the use of a scalable and proven output management software solution. When software is combined with traditional MPS, the savings to the enterprise often doubles and in some cases, triples. Output management software helps end-users produce less paper output, thus eliminating wasteful print, and consequently reduces the overall paper consumption.

SERVICE / HELP DESK

For the fleet of larger MFDs, response times are bound by an SLA which is based upon a four-hour response time. For the fleet of smaller, desktop printers, response times are bound by an SLA which is based upon an eight-hour (next business day) response time.

Canon Solutions America can provide detailed reporting on all service related and help desk calls as a standard offering. These reports are one of the many items reviewed in careful detail during each quarterly business review and provide a platform for identifying opportunities for improvement. Special emphasis is placed on items that impact the end-users as well as those that are governed by specific Service Level Agreements.

• Device configuration information

• Device inventory overall, by product class, by location

• Breakdown of usage, by product class, device, location, department

• SLA performance summary

• Monthly breakdown of annual incident information

• Uptime by device and/or by location, monthly, quarterly, annually

• Breakdown of help desk calls by request type

• Call management

Canon will utilize a software utility called MDS Cloud as a data collection agent and device monitoring tool on an ongoing basis. MDS Cloud continually monitors Canon and non-Canon devices on the network and facilitates the management of consumable supplies as well as device status alerting. The scope of the monitoring includes the larger MFD fleet as well as the fleet of desktop printers, so long as they are connected to the network. Data gathered by this monitoring tool is used to build and populate a real-time web portal which is designed to assist client-side administrators with account and fleet information. This information is used to assess fleet health at any given point, pursue account inquiries, place an order for supplies, place a call for service, check on the status of previously placed order for supplies

or service, and much more.

Full details of Canon Solutions America’s offering and capabilities for managed print are included in the formal response to the Request for Proposal by Region 4 Education Service Center (“ESC”) for Managed Print Solutions. For more information please

Appendix B:

PRODUCT / SERVICES SPECIFICATIONS

It is the intention of Region 4 Education Service Center (ESC) to establish a contract with vendor(s) for

Managed Print Solutions (MPS). Awarded vendor(s) shall perform covered services under the terms

of this RFP and the contract terms and conditions. Vendor(s) shall assist Region 4 ESC and/or TCPN

participants with making a determination of its individual needs, as stated below in the document.

Region 4 ESC is seeking a service provider that has the depth, breadth and quality of resources

necessary to complete all phases of MPS. Vendors specializing in one or more of the managed print

solution services may clearly indicate and propose on those items only. In addition, Region 4 ESC also

requests any value add commodity or service that could be provided under this contract. Region 4 ESC

and/or TCPN participants are seeking contractors who possess licenses in their states, where required

to provide and perform the work as outlined in this document.

Managed Print Solutions is the management, service and support of the entire client enterprise and

output infrastructure of printed materials. This would include all devices whether customer owned,

leased through a third party, or directly with the manufacturers leasing company. The leases could be

coterminous or non-coterminous. It would also include devices that were manufactured by the new

supplier, as well as devices that were manufactured by third parties. MPS takes into consideration

attributes such as the current infrastructure, all hardware, all existing leases, support, supplies,

software tools and the clients operational management model. MPS also reviews the client’s

technology usage patterns and user needs, as well as governmental compliance and client focused

concerns such as security, document management, and environmental sustainability. The advantage of

this approach is having a methodology, process, and template of how to manage an entire fleet end to

end.

The ultimate goal for MPS is to provide the client with a solution that improves the print process and

reduces the expense of printed material. The client will drive the complexity of the solution required

with a staged approach to implementation.

Proposers, at a minimum, should address the following components of MPS in their proposal.

I. Products, Services and Solutions

Provide a description of the range of products covered by your organization’s

MPS offering.

Canon Solutions America’s MPS offering provides support for a variety of output devices,

ranging from full-console copiers and multifunction devices to small desktop printers.

The scope of the support Canon Solutions America can provide is fully scalable beginning

with simple device monitoring and toner fulfillment to a comprehensive, enterprise level

fully managed engagement with Canon full-time onsite labor. Generally, for copiers and

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

MFDs, Canon Solutions America will seek to replace existing older fleets with brand new,

state of the art Canon imageRUNNER MFD models, appropriate to the individual need

of the Customer. In terms of the smaller desktop printing devices, Canon Solutions

America can provide support for a wide variety of makes and models; however, one of

Canon Solutions America’s overriding goals will be to help the Customer reduce their

dependence on these smaller, costlier-to-operate devices. Under this initiative, Canon

Solutions America will typically recommend the elimination of liquid ink-based printers as

well as any device that is in an “end-of-life” status with its manufacturer. Detailed

recommendations will be developed and offered to the Customer only after a careful

assessment and thorough examination of the total device inventory is completed.

Proposer should describe their ability to manage an onsite print center for

eligible entities, if desired.

Due to the scalability of Canon Solutions America’s Managed Print Services solution, we

can provide full-time management of an on-premise print center, inclusive of onsite labor.

Canon Solutions America has the expertise and experience necessary to not only provide

the production print hardware and software, but can also provide the full-time staff

needed and management process and best practices to run an effective on-premise print

center.

Describe your organization’s capacity to broaden the scope of the contract as new

technology, products, or services become available for MPS.

Canon is an incredibly broad and diversified manufacturer. Unique to Canon Solutions

America, Inc. is our ability to offer these diverse technology solutions to our Customers,

going beyond the initial engagement. As a global tier one purveyor of technology

solutions, we strive to broaden each Customer engagement and expand the scope in a

manner that increases the value for our Customers.

State your organization’s delivery timeframes, by phase, from assessment

through implementation of managed print solutions.

Delivery timeframes vary and are impacted by the very nature and scope of the initial

engagement and project. Once the nature and scope of a particular engagement is known

and agreed to, a project plan is developed specific to that project, with specific agreed to

timelines. Depending on the scope, project plans can range from very simple to complex.

It is the project plan that outlines in detail the timelines and milestones for the project.

However, Canon Solutions America’s approach to MPS generally covers five distinct

phases: (1) discover and analyze, (2) design, (3) deploy and transition, (4) support and

manage, and (5) evaluate and review. Delivery timelines of each phase is necessarily

dependent on the complexity and scope of each. Every Customer engagement is unique

and specific timelines vary according to the scope. In phase one, discover and analyze, for

Page 83: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

example, the initial physical assessment can take as little as a few days to several weeks and

even months for large scale projects. For physical assessments, with a small team of

assessors (1-3 person team), we can comfortably assess 50-100 devices per day, depending

on whether there are multiple locations separated by distance. In some cases, a physical

assessment is not practical or requested and in those instances, the discovery is only

performed electronically, through the use of software. In all cases, however, as a best

practice, the software tool is deployed to aid in the process.

Discover and analyze – as little as 1-3 days for a physical assessment for one small

location to several weeks/months for large-scale organizations with many

locations

Design – as little as 1-3 days for small projects to several weeks for large-scale

projects

Deploy and transition – turn-around times for implementation are variable and

scope-dependent, but Canon Solutions America can begin delivering equipment

within a week or two of an agreement. If implementations contain more complex

components such as a fully-managed print center, implementation times are of

course longer.

Support and manage – this is an on-going phase by design and constitutes the

majority of Canon Solutions America’s time supporting the Customer.

Evaluate and review – as part of Canon Solutions America’s commitment to

continual improvement and innovation, a necessary component is to measure

performance and this is performed in an ongoing fashion throughout the

engagement.

List all methods of ordering provided.

Equipment and services can be ordered through traditional means, purchase order, Canon

Solutions America-branded order documentation, as well as through customized means

such as web portal. Web portals are usually customized to a specific Customer’s

specification, and are most often associated with enterprise level engagements.

Provide an overview of the technology that is utilized in your MPS offering.

Brief overview of the technology used in Canon Solutions America’s MPS offering:

Multifunctional Devices (copiers): Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE (Gen 3)

Desktop output devices (printers): Canon imageCLASS series of single function and

multifunction desktop printers

Output Management (software): uniFLOW OM, scalable to the size and scope of the

engagement

Page 84: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

Data Collection Agent (software): MDS Cloud and/or PrintFleet

Other Canon and third-party branded technology according to the scope of the

engagement and Customer requirements, inclusive of Production Print Technologies,

Large Format Print Technologies, Scanning Workflow Solutions, Business Process

Automation Solutions, etc.

Provide your backorder policy.

Canon Solutions America’s backorder policy – As a manufacturer, Canon Inc. manages

inventory levels carefully, employing a methodology that allows for sufficient inventory to

meet historical demands. However, from time to time certain items may become

backordered due to the unpredictable nature of the general market. Whatever the nature of

any backorder situation, Canon Solutions America’s general policy is to do whatever

necessary to minimize disruption with our Customers.

II. Assessment Phase

Describe in detail your organization’s assessment process and how it is scalable to

meet the needs of the eligible entities.

The assessment phase (discovery and analysis) is critical to designing a solution that makes

sense to the Customer. It is in this phase that the “current state” is identified, quantified,

cataloged, and contemplated.

At a basic level, this can be as simple as installing and running a data collection agent which

scans the Customer’s network in order to automatically discover devices on that network.

From this, the resulting “asset inventory list” is built and becomes the framework for

making basic rightsizing recommendations. At this level, the recommendations are strictly

based on examination of the asset list. Typical recommendations arising from this kind of

analysis would be the removal of all ink-based devices. Additionally, devices that have been

classified as “end-of-life” by their respective manufacturer would also be targeted for

removal. For a basic entry level assessment, this would be the extent of the assessment

process. This basic level is usually employed with small to medium-sized business

enterprises. The data gathered during this initial basic assessment is then utilized to prepare

a Customer-specific solution proposal.

Scaling this process to larger scope engagements that may include floor mapping, multiple

locations across regions, states, the U.S. and international boundaries, campus-like

environments, inclusion of staffed operations like print centers, etc. is also possible through

Canon’s enterprise managed services capabilities. For these larger engagements, our

managed services organization brings to bear the resources necessary in order to adequately

support large assessments. As an example, for large universities, the physical assessment

may take several weeks to months in length and involve teams of staffing resources to

Page 85: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

finalize. In these cases, due to the sheer size, the assessment is treated as a project unto

itself, employing the use of formal project management fundamentals and principles, with

formal milestone management.

Respondents are encouraged to provide actual examples of a public-sector customer

assessment and how it was used.

K-12: Newtown Public Schools, Newtown, CT

K-12: Newport Mesa Unified School District, Newport Mesa, CA

Higher Education: Arizona State University, Scottsdale, AZ

List any charges for assessment, if any. Charges should be listed as separate

rates with hourly labor charges for each component.

Canon Solutions America, Inc. does not specifically charge for assessment services.

III. Implementation Phase

Describe in detail your implementation program plan.

As a general rule and practice, Canon Solutions America prefers to over-communicate to

help facilitate implementation planning and execution. The general approach adopted to

implementation is critical to the success of the overall project and Customer acceptance. We

prefer to take a collaborative approach and create a Customer-specific plan that works for

all parties. In some cases, the Customer is willing and able, and prefers, to take in all

deliveries in a staged location within their own facilities. This makes the equipment delivery

very smooth and allows each device to be staged and pre-installed with IP address

information, etc., prior to being placed at the final destination. In these instances, Canon

Solutions America will help with the staging process by providing the necessary technical

resources to support all staging functions. In most cases, however, the most favored

approach is for the delivery portion of the implementation to be managed in stages or

phases. These phases are usually defined in terms of physical locations, buildings, floors,

departments, etc., where one location is delivered in its entirety and technology fully

installed prior to moving on to the next location. This phased approach is based upon a

linear support model where the implementation mirrors the following basic events: order-

pre delivery warehouse prep-transport and initial delivery-installation of hardware and

software-functional testing-quality assurance checks-end user basic introductory training-

supplies and support process-Customer satisfaction confirmation.

Another critical component is the coordination with the outgoing vendor. Care must be

taken to include the outgoing vendor in planning discussions related to the de-installation

and eventual removal of the old equipment. If the Customer lacks sufficient space to

Page 86: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

accommodate both the old and the new device, careful coordination must be made so that

no device clutters the workspace or hallways, or creates an egress hazard.

Provide your organization’s experience of implementing MPS with public sector

agencies. Respondents are encouraged to provide a detailed case study of where

your organization has implemented MPS with a public-sector agency.

For Canon Solutions America, public sector Customers comprise a successful and very

important tier of Customer, in particular K-12 and Higher Education. Canon Solutions

America has many engagements in this space, ranging from basic managed print to full

enterprise managed services with onsite staffing.

Please see Case Study provided with this response.

List any charges for implementation, if any. Charges should be either event (one time)

based or hourly with a statement of work.

There are no charges for standard implementations. There are however, several instances

where charges may arise. These are due to special circumstances related to deliveries; for

example, in cases where there is a higher floor delivery without the use of a freight elevator.

When these situations arise, there is full disclosure and transparency ahead of time with the

Customer.

IV. Training for Client

Describe in detail the types of trainings your organization typically provides

to customers.

1. Does proposer offer on-site trainings?

Training begins immediately following device installation for larger

MFDs. Basic device orientation is the first exposure a Customer may

receive to the new Canon technology. Covered are such basics as on/off

procedures, authentication at the device if applicable, how to replace

toner and paper, how to navigate the operation panel, etc.

2. Does proposer offer web based trainings?

Following the basic introduction mentioned above, Canon Solutions

America provides in-depth web-based training as a standard and ongoing

offering. This allows for unlimited training opportunities at the

Customer’s own pace and location for as long as the device is installed

and used.

Page 87: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

3. Does proposer offer one-on-one trainings?

The vast majority of Canon Solutions America’s Customers rely on these

two forms of training. In the case of larger, enterprise managed services

engagements, customized training plans are often developed, which

include the elements mentioned above, but can also include instructor-

led training, scheduled in advance and with the Customer organization.

List any charges for initial or on-going training, if any.

Canon Solutions America does not charge for initial basic device orientation or the ongoing

web-based training offering. In enterprise managed services cases, specific customized

training plans can be developed in order to meet Customer-specific requirements and

expectations. There may be a charge for these, but that would be determined with Customer

collaboration.

V. Fleet Management

Include all cost options for on-site full-time, part-time, first service

responder, consumables, etc.

Canon Solutions America provides for any onsite staffing requirements as part of our

enterprise managed services offering. In those cases, the “solution” comprises all aspects

related to the offering from equipment and supplies to staffing requirements, software,

implementation, change management, first service responder, etc. These are priced

according to the requirements of each individual Customer since no two engagements are

alike.

If no staffing is required, then the Canon Solutions America retail sales and support

organization would provide the first service responder and break/fix support, inclusive of

consumable supplies. These engagements are comprised of an equipment and software

charge (typically for the equipment lease) plus a maintenance agreement at specified

volumes and/or cost per page rates, one for color and one for black pages. Pricing for this

is included in Appendix C – Pricing.

In addition, list separate costs, if any, to manage legacy installed devices from other

manufacturers such as installing, moving, adding, changing and disposing of

contracted devices.

For smaller, Customer-owned desktop devices, our recommendation as stated above, would

be to deactivate all inkjet-based devices and any device that has been classified as “end-of-

life” by its respective manufacturer. The remaining devices would then be placed under

contract with Canon Solutions America for supplies only or for both supplies and break/fix

support. For those under supplies only scope, these devices would be removed from service

upon the first service incident. Replacement would depend on Customer requirements, but

Page 88: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

this would present an opportunity to eliminate the device from the fleet completely and

migrate the print volume to a shared workgroup device.

In either case, Canon Solutions America does not charge premiums for managing the legacy

Customer-owned devices from other manufacturers. The MPS pricing is based upon

make/model and toner yield metrics in order to arrive at a model-based per page rate.

Included in those rates are service labor and parts costs to adequately support each device to

manufacturer specifications. This applies to the provision of break/fix technical support and

consumable supplies for these devices.

Installation, move, or disposal charges are a negotiated item, specific to each set of

Customer requirements. Canon Solutions America generally charges a nominal fee for these.

Do you offer trade in pricing for owned equipment?

Trade-in credits for customer-owned MFDs are determined on an individual case by case

basis. Canon Solutions America does not publish fixed trade in pricing since there are many

variables that ultimately determine device value. In general, Canon Solutions America does

not offer trade in pricing for customer-owned desktop devices since the cost to dispose of

an asset will likely be greater than the value of the device. In those cases, it is more cost

effective to either donate, recycle, or otherwise dispose of the small devices directly.

Management of legacy devices does not include parts, labor or supplies.

Under Canon Solutions America’s MPS Program, small desktop legacy devices are included

in the support model, whereby Canon Solutions America will provide consumable supplies

only (standard) OR full break/fix inclusive of parts and labor in addition to consumable

supplies (premier). Not all legacy devices will be offered premier level support.

Define how your technologies will guarantee document security and privacy.

Technology associated with office equipment has evolved over the last several years. As the

marketplace transitions from the purchase of standalone copying, printing, faxing and

scanning products to devices that integrate those functions and link them to corporate

networks, a new era in information technology has begun. Securing these systems is now an

important aspect of an overall network and information security strategy.

Although Canon offers no formal guarantee of Customer’s document security and privacy,

Canon's attention to emerging market trends and details surrounding Customer security

requirements has driven the development of features within the imageRUNNER product

portfolio to prevent data loss and the potential threats posed by hackers. Canon's security

capabilities fall into three main areas: standard device security, network and print protection,

and data overwrite protection.

Page 89: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

Standard Device Security

All imageRUNNER products ship with many standard security features. When shipped as

standalone digital copying devices, the imageRUNNER product line offers the following

protection:

Copy Control Access: This standard feature permits device administrators to register up

to 300 (depending on model) department and user IDs, thereby requiring end-users to

enter a password prior to accessing device copying capabilities.

Restricting Device Setup Screens: imageRUNNER device setup screens can be

password-protected to ensure that administrative device settings are not changed without

appropriate authority.

Mailbox Password Protection: All imageRUNNER devices ship with up to 100 User

Mailboxes, which can be used for storage of scanned and printed data, integrating scanned

and printed data, or long-term document storage. Mailbox security is provided through

the ability to lock down access to the Mailbox system via system administrative passwords,

and the ability to designate unique passwords for access of individual device Mailboxes.

Network and Print Protection

When implemented in networked configurations, imageRUNNER products offer unique

benefits as communication hubs for corporate information. Network connectivity also

brings heightened requirements for security. As a standard offering, imageRUNNER

products deliver the following network and print security capabilities.

Enabling/Disabling Protocols: Network administrators are provided with the ability to

enable or disable specific device protocols and print applications through Canon's system

setup and installation utilities. As a result, unwanted device communication can be

disabled, as can access to the system via specific transport protocols.

Print Job Accounting: A standard feature in Canon's printer drivers, Print Job

Accounting requires users to enter an administrator-defined password prior to printing,

thereby restricting device access to those authorized to print.

Secured Print: the Secured Print function within Canon's printer drivers requires an end-

user to enter a password prior to job release. Upon receipt of the print job at the device,

the user must enter the job password in order to print. Using this feature, users can ensure

that they are at the device when their job is delivered.

Page 90: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

Mailbox Printing: Another secure document delivery feature, Mailbox Printing allows

users to send a job to their individual Mailbox. Once stored in the Mailbox (if it is

password-protected), a user must enter his or her password to retrieve jobs previously

stored.

Data Overwrite Protection

Many of the functional capabilities and unique features of Canon imageRUNNER

technology are delivered through the use of an internal Image Server. The Image Server

used within Canon imageRUNNER products is comprised of hard disk storage and RAM,

and varies in size from device to device. Although storage and RAM size vary, the internal

Image Server delivers consistent functional capabilities from one imageRUNNER system to

the next, and is largely responsible for data handling across all device functions.

The imageRUNNER Removable Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Data Kit option provides a

means for system administrators to physically lock the device’s internal hard disk drive into

the system during normal operation, thereby decreasing the risk of theft. Once the device

has been powered down, the drive can be unlocked and removed for storage in a secure

location. Advanced HDD erase services are available as a professional services engagement

when a certificate of erasure is required at end of life.

Canon offers a number of ways to secure documents generated and managed by Canon

hardware and software technologies, including secured and follow-me printing, document

password protection, encryption, document rights management, and destination restrictions.

Though varying Customer environments may make it difficult for Canon to guarantee

document security and privacy, Canon’s attention to emerging security trends has driven the

development of features that help thwart data loss and potential privacy threats.

uniFLOW Secure Print

uniFLOW’s secure printing functionality allows all users to send their sensitive

documents to network printers from their desktops or mobile devices and to have

the job printed only when they are physically standing in front of the device.

Universal Driver:

The uniFLOW Universal Driver can help fix the often, too common "incompatible

driver" problem. The uniFLOW Universal Driver works by ensuring that the printer

specific codes are only added to the print job once the final printer type is known,

resulting in a correct printout every time.

Page 91: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

Device Authentication:

Requiring authentication at a device can help prevent unauthorized printing and

copying, faxing and scanning to email, and prevent confidential documents from

lying on the printer tray.

Authentication at the device also unleashes an imageRUNNER ADVANCE feature

set which includes "Scan to My Folder", "Scan to Myself" (email), "Quick Menu"

personalization, and "Key Chain" login.

Secure Printing:

The uniFLOW version of follow me printing, My Print Anywhere, offers users a

convenient, productive, and secure way to print. When a user prints, his or her job is

stored on the uniFLOW server until that user authenticates at ANY device on the

network and releases his or her job.

Secure Mobile Printing

Secure Mobile Submission:

o uniFLOW allows any mobile user to submit a print job, as long as that user's

mobile device has emailing capabilities. Users can also submit jobs via web

browser, or printing directly from an application using an internet enabled

driver.

Secure Mobile Release:

o Once a print job is submitted, regardless of whether it's from a desktop PC or a

mobile device, the user will fall into the uniFLOW My Print Anywhere (follow

me printing) workflow, where the user will walk to the most convenient device,

and release their print job after authenticating themselves.

Multiple Identities & Guest Printing:

o Users tend to have multiple identities in today's mobile age, and uniFLOW

supports that by allowing users to register each of their identities, such as email

addresses or phone numbers, so that the uniFLOW system will recognize them,

and allow them to print.

o uniFLOW Secure Mobile Printing also provides the option for guest printing.

Guest printing can be customized to allow visitors (outside the network) to

submit print jobs, but with preset company restrictions.

Native Application:

o There is also a uniFLOW native app for Apple iOS devices and Android

devices. This app enables the mobile device to identify a printer, for example

Page 92: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

by a QR code, select a print job from the user's personal print queue, make

necessary print settings, and release their job.

Google Cloud Print:

o uniFLOW also supports Google Cloud Print. So, users of Google

Chromebooks, and companies that primarily use Google Cloud Print for all

their printing needs, can print in a secure manner with the option of uniFLOW

tracking all prints.

imageWARE Secure Audit Manager

Capture data and user information for jobs processed by imageRUNNER devices*.

imageWARE Secure Audit Manager Express is a robust and efficient information

security software solution for document distribution oversight. This solution carves

a new concept in the information security industry. It’s the first product to provide

capture, archive, notification, and audit capabilities of Canon device activities such as

print, scan, fax, copy, and e-mail.

imageWARE Secure Audit Manager Express helps deter ill-intentioned workers

from leaking important and valuable information sent to Canon imageRUNNER

and imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems. In the event that such leakage does

occur, crucial information, such as who, what, when, and where this event occurred,

can be quickly retrieved.

imageWARE Secure Audit Manager Express captures job attribute information such

as time, date, user, destination, and text data. After this information is captured, it’s

stored and can be readily searched using either a full text search or attribute search.

With this solution, companies and organizations can reduce risks and liabilities

associated with the leakage of important and confidential information.

*imageWARE Secure Audit Manager Express supports only MEAP embedded imageRUNNER and

imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems.

Define how meter reads are conducted.

Meter reads for devices are an important part of generating and providing accurate usage-

based invoices to the Customer. In addition, they are used to determine usage patterns,

trends, and overall fleet information. It is important that the process of meter read

collection be as automated as possible and in that endeavor, Canon Solutions America will

leverage the data collection agent, imageWARE Remote, or other software mechanism to

collect device-transmitted usage statistics. In the event devices fail to connect and report

usage meter data, Canon Solutions America will make every effort to attempt reconnection

of affected devices. From time to time, the reasons for devices failing to report is caused by

Page 93: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

network conditions and events that occur on the Customer side. Canon Solutions America

is committed to assisting our Customers in attempting to reconnect affected devices. In the

event that devices cannot reconnect, then the collection of usage meter data is the

responsibility of the Customer.

In some cases, Canon Solutions America may offer the Customer a “flat rate billing” option

for devices that are not connected to the network. Under this option, the collection of

ongoing usage meter data is not necessary since Canon Solutions America would bill the

Customer an agreed to monthly fixed amount. This amount is based upon historical usage

patterns for those affected devices. A reconciliation would be made once annually for those

devices not connected to the network, whereby excess usage above and beyond the monthly

flat fee would be invoiced separately. Similarly, if the actual usage was lower than expected,

less than accounted for by the monthly fixed amount, then a credit would be due the

Customer.

Define how service calls are placed. Does your equipment have built in

remote/automated diagnostics capabilities?

Service calls from Customer end-users are placed one of several ways:

Calling the toll-free number for Canon Solutions America Service

Placing an order for service via the “myCSA web portal”

Placing an order for service with the Customer’s internal Help Desk

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE and imageCLASS devices have built-in capabilities to

communicate device information directly to Canon and fleet management utilities. Firmware

updates, individual and global device settings can be remotely managed and deployed.

VI. Administration

Describe any continual process improvements that your organization puts in place for

customers.

Canon Solutions America’s formal quarterly review process is designed to provide a formal

setting during which new ideas for improvement are presented and discussed with each

Customer. Since each Customer is unique, these reviews can take many different forms.

However, what is common to all reviews is our desire to leverage new advances in Canon

technology or solutions that were previously not available. It is Canon Solutions America’s

responsibility to ensure the Customer has a thorough and current understanding of Canon’s

capabilities and new technologies.

Page 94: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

Detail any innovative ways that your organization helps eliminate

unnecessary printing; reduce carbon footprint usage, waste, etc.

In order to maximize the reduction of annual spend related to print in any enterprise and to

provide the maximum value to the Customer, Canon Solutions America utilizes two main

components within the context of the managed print offering. First, the capability to

provide factory-level support and supplies for Canon and non-Canon brands of desktop

printing devices is key. Executed swiftly and consistently, a well-run MPS program can help

achieve 10-15% savings in print spend. Secondly, and in addition to traditional MPS,

changing end-user behavior in how print is utilized is key to helping double the possible

savings. End-user behavior change is attainable through the use of a scalable and proven

output management software solution. When software is combined with traditional MPS,

the savings to the enterprise often doubles and in some cases, triples. Output management

software helps end-users produce less paper output, thus eliminating wasteful print, and

consequently reduces the overall paper consumption. The single most comprehensive,

proven, and scalable output management software solution in the current marketplace is

uniFLOW by NT-Ware (a Canon company). Many Canon devices come “uniFLOW-ready”

directly from the factory to help enable the workflows at the Customer site.

Describe your organizations process pertaining to a formalized quarterly business

review with a public agency (such as; device utilization, fleet performance, cost

saving opportunities, department/site usage, green spend, consumables monitoring

report, etc.).

Quarterly Business Reviews are vitally important. Not only are they used to present a

“report card” back to the Customer on Canon’s performance, they also serve as a platform

to deliver news and information concerning the Customer’s fleet (such as device utilization,

fleet performance, cost savings opportunities, environmental impact metrics, etc.). Key to

this, as mentioned above, is providing a forum through which Canon Solutions America can

propose new opportunities for improving the overall Customer experience. Finding new

ways to innovate and streamline existing business processes while achieving greater levels of

automation, real bottom line savings, environmental stewardship are all part of why QBRs

are a vital component to an effective business partnership.

VII. Service / Help Desk

Describe in detail the process that shall be used to ensure adequate service

representatives will be available. This should include fees and or hourly rates

for service/help desk integration.

Canon Solutions America, Inc. provides geographic coverage in major metropolitan areas

throughout the United States. Each region is supported by a comprehensive web of service

professionals who provide best-in-class technical support to our growing base of Customers.

Beyond these critical regions, a network of Canon-authorized service companies stands

ready to support Region 4 ESC’s participating agencies’ needs. All servicing entities must

Page 95: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

adhere to strict performance guidelines and must be fully certified to provide technical

assistance on Canon products.

With over 10,000 technicians employed nationwide, Canon Solutions America can ensure

proper support in the event of absenteeism. We implement branch specific contingency

plans to ensure optimum service for our Customers during their usual technician’s sick,

personal or vacation days. As part of this contingency plan, we will draw from our pool of

technicians to provide the necessary support. Every technician is properly trained and

certified by the manufacturer of the device they will be repairing.

Describe your organization’s procedures for addressing and resolving customer

problems and complaints; service, equipment, or billing. This should include timelines

and escalation measures.

Single Point of Contact

We will develop a competent, collaborative, and systematic management strategy while

addressing Customer’s needs for a cohesive single point-of-contact. A dedicated Account

Executive will be assigned to each account to manage various Canon resources to ensure

smooth and timely delivery, installation, systems integration and monitoring of our

performance against established service level agreements, and cost data to measure our

solution’s effectiveness.

Help Desk

Canon Solutions America’s Help Desk has the flexibility to interact with our Customer’s

Help Desk for phone/email-based support of hardware, software, or systems related issues.

Many of our existing clients use their internal Help Desk as a first line of support, and then

escalate end-user issues to Canon Solutions America’s Help Desk, as needed.

Customer Service Department

Canon Solutions America’s Customer Service Department focuses on resolving account

management-related issues. Customers may call the toll-free number to reach a Customer

Service Representative who will:

Answer general inquiries and issues

Page 96: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

Supply Sales, Service, and Dispatch. This structure ensures that our Customers receive a

timely and accurate response by the appropriate party. In order to support all Canon

Solutions America Customers nationwide, our Customer Service Department is available

from 8:30 am – 8:00 pm EST.

Service Calls

When a service call is placed, it is routed to the appropriate person at Canon Solutions

America who will attempt to resolve the issue within twenty-four hours. Each Canon

Solutions America branch location has a designated Escalation Specialist who focuses on

service-related issues that require further attention. He/She conducts regularly scheduled

meetings with the local service department to determine a resolution to any current service

problem. If necessary, our parent company, Canon U.S.A., participates in these meetings to

provide further direction on how to resolve the issues.

Below is a detailed breakdown of the escalation process we follow to address unresolved

service calls:

1. Initially, the service technician will attempt to troubleshoot and resolve the technical

issue with the Customer over the phone, if applicable. If onsite service is necessary,

the service technician is dispatched to the location.

2. If the technician is troubleshooting a machine onsite and cannot resolve the issue, he

or she will refer to their technical documentation for possible solutions. If

unsuccessful, he or she will contact the local Product Specialist or Lead Digital Service

Engineer for recommendations and informs their Area Service Manager of the need

for escalation.

3. The Technician contacts the Canon U.S.A. Technical Hotline and advises the Senior

Digital Service Engineer or Product Specialist that an onsite visit is necessary. A Ticket

Number is then issued to the Technician so the request can be tracked.

4. The Technician/Area Service Manager and/or Product Specialist contacts the Branch

Service Manager to collaboratively ensure that the Escalation Procedure is being

adhered to within the allotted timeframes.

5. The Area Service Manager/Branch Manager or Product Specialist contacts the District

Sales Manager and/or Sales Executive to advise them of the escalation and the steps

being taken. The Area Service Manager and Product Specialist contacts the Branch

Service Manager for additional direction. The Canon U.S.A. Specialist is requested on

site and will attempt to resolve the issue.

Page 97: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

Appendix B: Product/Services Specifications Canon Solutions America, Inc.

6. After all procedures have been exhausted by our team and the Canon U.S.A.’s

specialist, our Branch Service Manager will be consulted for final advisement.

7. If no resolution is found, the Area Service Manager will officially request a like-for-like

replacement of the unit by filing the Service Exchange (RGA) form with the Branch

Service Manager.

Provide the expected response time after initial service/help desk call to have a

technician on site, if needed.

For the fleet of larger MFDs, response times are bound by an SLA which is based upon a

four-hour response time. For the fleet of smaller, desktop printers, response times are

bound by an SLA which is based upon an eight-hour (next business day) response time.

List the type of reporting your organization can provide end-users on service/help desk

calls.

Canon Solutions America can provide detailed reporting on all service related and Help

Desk calls as a standard offering. These reports are one of the many items reviewed in

careful detail during each quarterly business review and provide a platform for identifying

opportunities for improvement. Special emphasis is placed on items that impact the end-

users as well as those that are governed by specific Service Level Agreements.

Per copy charges for toner are formulated by using the cost of the toner cartridge and the

yield in number of pages. As an example, a $200 toner cartridge that is designed to yield

6000 pages based upon a 5% industry standard page coverage would generate a per copy

charge for toner of $0.0333. Parts and service labor costs are then added to determine the

total overall cost per page.

Detail how your organization is able to provide remote monitoring of all print

devices for use in the management of consumable, break/fix, technical support and

the improvements of efficiencies for supplies and/or cost reductions.

Canon will utilize a software utility called MDS Cloud as a data collection agent and device

monitoring tool on an ongoing basis. MDS Cloud continually monitors Canon and non-

Canon devices on the network and facilitates the management of consumable supplies as

well as device status alerting. The scope of the monitoring includes the larger MFD fleet as

well as the fleet of desktop printers, so long as they are connected to the network. Data

gathered by this monitoring tool is used to build and populate a real-time web portal which

is designed to assist Customer-side administrators with account and fleet information. This

information is used to assess fleet health at any given point, pursue account inquiries, place

an order for supplies, place a call for service, check on the status of previously placed order

for supplies or service, and much more.

List how you will configure pricing for future printer models by other manufacturers.

For future printer models introduced by other manufacturers, Canon Solutions America

will calculate pricing based upon current market conditions inclusive of the manufacturer’s

suggested retail price of the device itself, the cost of printer supplies, the published supply

yield, the cost of device parts, and the estimated cost of labor.

If meter collection is performed by vendor on-site, list the monthly or hourly rate.

Meter collection on the MFD fleet is primarily managed through Canon software known as

imageWARE Remote, where the device automatically sends Canon relevant usage statistics

in an encrypted packet. Meter collection on the fleet of desktop printers is collected

electronically via the monitoring software or data collection agent known as MDS Cloud.

There is no charge for electronic meter collection. In the event a device fails to report

meter data to Canon electronically, a Canon technician will be dispatched to check the

connections to the servers. Meter collection for devices that do not connect will be the

responsibility of the Customer to collect and submit to Canon. In the event meter reads are

not available in time for billing cutoff, Canon may estimate a meter read based upon

historical usage on that device.

If meter collection is performed through software, list monthly charge or

purchase price, if any, per asset.

X. Other Management Print Services

For additional products or services that fall within the scope of this contract, vendor

may include a separate description of the product or service, along with the proposed

pricing.

As a global tier one manufacturer, Canon offers a complete and comprehensive set of

solutions. Through these state of the art solutions, Canon meets the increasingly diversified

and sophisticated needs of its customers, making the Canon brand recognized and trusted

throughout the world. Unique to Canon Solutions America, Inc. is our ability to offer

these diverse technology solutions to our Customers, going beyond the initial engagement.

Canon strives to broaden each Customer engagement and expand the scope in a manner

that increases the value for our Customers.

In order to maximize the reduction of annual spend related to print in any enterprise and to

provide the maximum value to the Customer, Canon Solutions America utilizes two main

components within the context of the managed print offering. First, the capability to

provide factory-level support and supplies for Canon and non-Canon brands of desktop

printing devices is key. Executed swiftly and consistently, a well-run MPS program can help

achieve 10-15% savings in print spend. Secondly, and in addition to traditional MPS,

changing end-user behavior in how print is utilized is key to helping double the possible

savings. End-user behavior change is attainable through the use of a scalable and proven

output management software solution. When software is combined with traditional MPS,

the savings to the enterprise often doubles and in some cases, triples. Output management

software helps end-users produce less paper output, thus eliminating wasteful print, and

consequently reduces the overall paper consumption. The single most comprehensive,

proven, and scalable output management software solution in the current marketplace is

uniFLOW by NT-Ware (a Canon company). Many Canon devices come “uniFLOW-

ready” directly from the factory to help enable the workflows at the Customer site.

Pricing for uniFLOW is included in Appendix C – Pricing.

Include software or licensing costs or components of any services provided.

CSA Managed Print Services Customer Expectation Document page 2 April 2017

1. Introduction

This Customer Expectation Document is designed to provide details related to the Canon Solutions America Managed Print Services (‘MPS”) Program and to answer commonly asked questions. The terms and conditions of the MPS program can be found in the CSA Managed Print Services Agreement.

2. Program Objectives

The MPS program is designed to help organizations achieve business efficiencies and cost savings through better management and administration of print environments. Our unique consulting process contemplates collaboration with our customers to identify areas for print optimization, increased productivity and cost savings. Critical to this process is the availability of print volume data from all sources within the print enterprise. The success of the program is dependent on uninterrupted communication with the printers or alternative sources of data capture in order for CSA to perform the services and provide accurate and timely billing under the agreement.

3. Initial Contract Set-up

a. Start Date The contract becomes effective approximately 10 days after the Customer executes the MPS Agreement accompanied by a complete listing of the covered printers on Schedule A and Schedule B, if applicable. This allows CSA ample time to prepare its systems to accept customer calls and begin to provide services.

b. Initial Printer Listing Schedule A and B contain all relevant information on each printer initially covered under the MPS Agreement. Printers listed in Schedule B will only be eligible for toner fulfillment and monitoring services. The Customer is responsible for discovering and identifying the required information for all printers to be covered under this agreement. Although CSA software tools may help discover devices based on detection of activity, idle units and units with no network connection may not be detected during this discovery process. In the event a customer identifies additional equipment which was mistakenly excluded from the original schedules, additional printers can be added using the Change Order form along with a printed configuration page for each printer added and made retroactive to the start date. Customers who call for services or toner for units not yet added to the contract may be told their printer is not covered since it will not appear in the CSA system.

c. “Fit for Service” Requirements Prior to the start of the contract the following must be confirmed:

i. Each device must have a minimum of 25% toner remaining in the cartridge ii. Each device must have a minimum of 25% life remaining for other consumable maintenance items (fuser kit,

maintenance kit, drums) iii. Any devise displaying a service or supplies alert (error codes, low consumables, etc.) must have the

condition corrected iv. Any device with an image quality issue must have the condition corrected

d. Tagging Each printer initially covered under the agreement maybe tagged with a CSA Service tag by a CSA representative. The tag includes the serial # of the printer, the phone # for service and supplies and other relevant information. The tag should not be removed from the printer during the term of the agreement. CSA may mail tags to the customer for placement on the printers machine additions or remote locations during the term of the contract.

e. Installation of DCA Software CSA will work with the Customer’s IT staff to perform the initial installation of the Data Collection Agent (“DCA”) software for networked devices. Additionally, CSA will assist the Customer’s IT staff to push the local client version of the DCA software for use with any non-networked printers. It is the Customer’s responsibility to keep the DCA installed during the term including any reinstallation that may be required as a result of change in the Customer’s infrastructure or environment.

4. Ordering Procedures

a. Toner Printer toner cartridges may be ordered from CSA by either calling our Customer Service order desk at 1-800-355-1385 or by placing an on-line order in the myCSA site. Customers who wish to use the myCSA site must first register at www.csa.canon.com and select the myCSA icon on the home page. Customers will be asked to provide the related serial # or asset tag# located on the asset tag placed on the printer.

b. Service Calls Requests for repair may be placed by either calling our Dispatch Center at 1-800-466-1750 or by placing a service request on-line at www.solutions.canon.com.

c. Add/Remove Additions or deletions of printers covered under the MPS Agreement are made by executing and submitting an MPS Change Order form indicating the pertinent information on the specific units being added or removed from the agreement. Additionally, Customers must provide a printed configuration page from each added or removed unit which provides CSA necessary meter, quality and other information necessary to make the change effective. Please note that changes to the printer fleet configuration may impact the price per copy reflected in the contract on a prospective basis.

5. Customer Service

For any questions or contract changes, please reference the following contact information:

Email: [email protected]

Phone: 1-888-414-2720

6. Relocations

If Customers relocate any printers under the agreement, they must promptly notify CSA in order to change the location information in the CSA database. Customers are responsible for de-installing and reinstalling all relocated printers including installation of the DCA in order to keep the printers communicating with CSA. Please note that printers relocated outside of CSA’s Servicing geography (e.g. Alaska, remote islands, etc.) may not be eligible to be covered under this agreement.

7. Meter Collection

The MPS program is designed to automatically collect periodic meter readings from the printers covered under this agreement using the DCA software program. The DCA program is initially installed on the Customer network for connectivity to networked printing devices. A local DCA program must be installed on individual networked computers in order to communicate with non-networked printers. It is extremely important to keep the DCA software connected in order for CSA to capture information in order to provide the services under the MPS Agreement. Customers are responsible to maintain this critical connection which may require reinstallation of the local DCA software when upgrading, replacing or repairing related computers.

8. Estimation

If CSA does not receive timely meter readings from the DCA software or alternatively from the Customer through other means of communication, CSA will estimate the usage on the related devices utilizing past customer history or, if no historical data is available, utilizing CSA estimates based on CSA standard usage rates by model.

9. Toner Usage Reconciliation

The MPS program includes replenishment of toner cartridges based upon toner page coverage of 5% for black toner and 20% for color toner. Customers who print images with more toner average coverage should expect to pay additional charges. Toner usage reconciliation is done separately for black toner and color toner. Please see the reconciliation example below:

Toner Manufacturer Yield per Cartridge 3,000

# of Cartridges shipped to Customer* x 10

Manufacturer Expected Print Volume 30,000

Extra 10% provided by CSA - 3,000

CSA Expected Print Volume 27,000

Actual Print Volume - 25,500

Volume Reconciliation 1,500

Price per Page x $ .0200

Toner Usage Reconciliation Charge $30.00

* Note: Certain cartridges for the same models may contain different manufacturer yields.

10. Quarterly Review Process

Customers are entitled to a quarterly review discussion to review expectations, charges, print volume data and recommendations for further optimization of the print environment.

11. Renewal and end of term process

Customers may request to renew the contract prior to the scheduled expiration by providing a written request to CSA stating the requested renewal term. CSA shall promptly provide a renewal quote for the requested renewal period. Upon mutual agreement, an appropriate addendum or new agreement shall be executed for the renewal term.

If the Customer does not chose to renew, the Customer may return unused toner within 30 days of the end of term and CSA will adjust the # of cartridges shipped for the purpose of computing the final toner reconciliation described above. Customers must contact the CSA Customer Service center at 1-800-355-1385 to obtain return instructions and return authorization # prior to mailing the returned supplies back to CSA. In the event CSA is unable to obtain a final meter reading from the DCA or other reasonable means, CSA will estimate the final meter reading using customer volume history or utilizing the CSA standard usage rates by model.

12. DCA Software & Technical Requirements

CSA must utilize data collection software to provide services under this agreement. CSA is responsible to maintain the software, provide updates when necessary, and assist with the initial installation as necessary. The detailed technical information with respect to the Data Collection Agent (DCA) is as follows: The DCA collects usage data on Products from predefined Management Information Bases (MIBs), using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). For greater security, the DCA initiates communication solely with the CSA Data Repository. Communication sessions are conducted via HTTPS (port 443), the universal standard in secure transactions. The DCA sends and receives data in a single hourly session.

CSA does not provide root access or local edit access to the DCA and CSA does not permit scripts to be run against the DCA. Customers must provide the following technical information in conjunction with the implementation of the CSA Managed Print Services program. This information is required specifically for the expressed purposes of configuration and implementation the DCA.

Fonda-Fultonville Central School District seeks to save money and conserve resources through better document management.

Nestled at the base of the Adirondack

Mountains in the town of Fonda, New York,

Fonda-Fultonville Central School District

(FFCSD) includes Kindergarten through

Grade 12 and has approximately 200

employees. The District is comprised of

one 285,000 square foot building serving

approximately 1,500 students. They are

completely off of the electrical grid and

have been for over eight years now,

running solely on natural gas, and the

addition of photovoltaic cells to produce

even more energy is scheduled for the near

future. Keeping in line with these green

efforts, the District continuously seeks

new ways to conserve resources and

preserve the environment.

Canon Solutions America helps a school district save green and stay green

identifying the ChAllenge

One way the District could be more environmentally conscious was to analyze how faculty, staff and students were printing, copying and faxing documents. They discovered that there were many challenges with their print production, mostly stemming from having a multitude of single-function inkjet printers, copiers, and fax machines that were not connected to a network or managed in any way to limit or control costs.

Carey Shultz, District Treasurer, outlined the main problem. “Our previous system was made up of 12 copiers and 120 desktop printers across the District. The copiers were not networked and only half of them had scan to e-mail and fax capabilities. The majority of the copying was done in a Copy Center located within the District. Anyone that needed to make more than 10 copies was asked to take them to the Copy Center. The Copy Center had two very large copiers and was overseen by a full-time staff member. This system created constant bottleneck issues and was extremely inefficient. This setup also created issues with timing due to the location of the Copy Center and the size of the District. It was difficult for individuals located at the farthest part of the 315,000 sq. ft building to walk down, only to have to stand in line waiting to have copies made.

Page 109: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

“Change in any public school district is extremely difficult. The copier contract and logistics of printing/copying had been the same for almost 20 years. To introduce a completely different setup both on the hardware and software side was going to be no easy task.”

Choosing A PArtner

The District recognized the need to achieve significant cost advantages, increase employee productivity and reduce waste in order to be environmentally conscious. The District was looking to replace their current staggered leases with a single-lease fleet of upgraded machines, all of which would have printing, copying, faxing and scanning capabilities. They wanted to take advantage of the latest software offerings available for output management, including reporting, statistics, rules-based routing and secure printing. Another requirement was the implementation of a budgeting system and user authorization controls. Additionally, they wanted all of their document management needs served through a single contract, not only for convenience but to realize even greater cost savings.

Nick Stone, Account Executive for Canon Solutions America, initially made contact with FFCSD two years prior to the system upgrade. Mr. Stone advised FFCSD to not sign any new contracts and to let older contracts expire, so that the staggered leases could be brought under one consolidated contract. Mr. Stone then arranged for additional discovery to be performed on-site at the District with Andrew Vern Rosenkrans, Document Management Solutions Analyst at Canon Solutions America. They found that FFCSD would need a document management system as well as an output management system in order to meet their defined goals.

Mr. Rosenkrans said, “After meeting with the District and surveying their current equipment, needs and costs, it was quickly surmised that they were in need of a technology upgrade. Our proposal included recommendations for device security, output management and document management.” Working with Mr. Stone, a plan was developed to meet and exceed all of the requirements of the District.

develoPing the solution

The proposed managed document solution included all of the hardware, software and support services the District needed:

• 13 imageRUNNER multifunction devices were installed, all of which have duplex and full-color scanning capabilities. FFCSD was able to eliminate dozens of outdated, cost-intensive inkjet printers and replace them with fewer, yet more efficient, multifunction devices. All users now have easy access to faxing, printing, copying and scanning through strategically placed machines. One of the devices the District chose also has booklet finishing capabilities, expanding the services available in their copy center.

• One imageWARE Document Server (IWDS) was installed, to be used as a repository for all financial and student records for the District’s Business Office and the Pupil Services Department. The Business Office is utilizing a day-forward methodology with IWDS in order to manage financial information as well as Human Resources files. Pupil Services manages all student records and is utilizing IWDS for storage of all student records. Both offices are utilizing an imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction device in order to scan documents via FTP to the IWDS Server.

Page 110: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

• uniFLOW, Canon’s print analysis and reporting solution, was implemented so that the District could accurately measure usage and cost by user, workgroup or department. By implementing budget control software, the District is now able to control print resources and assign specific cost allocations, which should result in significant savings. uniFLOW will help manage and control print jobs to maximize productivity and minimize expenditures. It can be used to implement individual or role-based profiles on each device, ensuring appropriate usage as well as reduced overages. For example, students may only be allowed to print in black-and-white and the number of pages they may print is restricted, while teachers and support staff may have access to color and other features.

reAlizing the Benefits

The result is that the District’s print environment is now more secure, yet simple to manage. Teachers can send a document to print while in the classroom, and pick it up between classes or later in the day at any conveniently located device. Security is ensured because the job won’t actually print until the teacher provides authentication at the machine. This also prevents overuse, as forgotten printouts won’t pile up only to be discarded later.

Since the implementation of the new units, there has been a considerable increase in efficiency among teachers and staff. The staff has the ability to use any machine throughout the District with the use of the Secure Print function of uniFLOW. The District has also gained the capability of tracking all copies and prints made throughout the District. This new tracking software will help the District ensure better document management. Through better management of their printing, FFCSD is reducing their impact on the environment by implementing practices that use less paper, less ink and toner, and less energy.

Soon after the installation of the devices and solutions, the new software proved its value. A teacher contacted the business office and stated that he was unable to print, and a pop-up message was telling him that he had $0.00 left in his budget. After generating a quick report, it was determined that the user had exceeded his monthly budget and was prevented from making any further copies or prints. The teacher was given a small amount of overage until the end of the month, when his budget would be reset automatically along with those of all the other faculty members. Mr. Shultz declared, “The new system works perfectly.”

“The biggest challenge that I had predicted was educating the staff properly ahead of time and ‘selling’ them the changeover,” said Mr. Shultz. “To help with this hurdle, I personally met with each building and explained what we were changing to and the capability of the new software and hardware. Working with Canon Business Solutions [Canon Solutions America*], I also created documentation reminding/listing out the benefits of the change and the increased efficiency that could exist. Once the actual implementation took place, I felt that I had briefed the staff sufficiently on what needed to be done and when it was all going to happen.

Page 111: REGION 4 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER (ESC) · : Region 4 ESC will review proposed offeror contract documents. Vendor’s contract document shall not become part of Region 4 ESC’s contract

“Once implementation occurred, we really did not run into many challenges. The issues we did run into were small in nature and were taken care of pretty quickly. There was obviously some pushback from individuals that did not want the change and could not see the benefits of it. Once those people actually used the machines and the software attached, they understood why we had made the change. Whatever challenge or hurdle we did face, was met with dedication, hard work and perseverance by all members of the Canon team.”

As a result of the partnership with Canon Solutions America and the implementation of the new document management system, over the next five years the District expects to realize savings of at least $256,000 through the new hardware contract alone. “Add in projected savings of $219,000 through the usage of budgeting and output control software,” said Mr. Stone, “and total savings for this time period could be nearly half a million dollars.”

ConClusion

Through working with Canon Solutions America, Fonda-Fultonville Central School District created a new document management strategy that has resulted in increased efficiency and lower costs. This was achieved through a single contract instead of multiple leases with varying expiration dates, resulting in a much simpler process. The District was able to implement programs that are designed to reduce waste and have a positive impact on the environment while also controlling costs more easily. Said Mr. Shultz, “The switch to all Canon products has been one of the best decisions the District has made this year. Nick Stone and Vern Rosenkrans from Canon Business Solutions [Canon Solutions America*] were and continue to be incredibly attentive, professional and instrumental in the continued success of this change over.”

Mr. Schulz summed it up like this: “From the very beginning of the relationship with Canon, I never felt like it was a company muscling their way into the District only to sell me a product. I felt that the company was genuine in wanting to help the School District save money while increasing staff/student efficiency. With the current fiscal problems facing Public School Districts, there are very few organizations out there that have the patience that Canon Business Solutions [Canon Solutions America*] did during the initial meeting and throughout the final day of implementation. I was also impressed by how knowledgeable each individual was and the expertise that they brought to the District.”

C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM Public Agency Instructions

This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (www.nj.gov/dca/lgs/lfns/lfnmenu.shtml).

1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).

2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.

3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file.

4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure.

a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay-to-Play web site at www.nj.gov/dca/lgs/p2p. They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary. b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative

district(s). As the forms are county-based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists.

c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted.

d. The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein. e. The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended

that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly.

f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.

5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.” This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract. (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation) A sample Certification form is part of this package and the instruction to complete it is included in the Contractor Instructions. NOTE: This section is not applicable to Boards of Education.

C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM

Contractor Instructions

Business entities (contractors) receiving contracts from a public agency that are NOT awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (defined at N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7) are subject to the provisions of P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2 (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26). This law provides that 10 days prior to the award of such a contract, the contractor shall disclose contributions to:

• any State, county, or municipal committee of a political party

• any legislative leadership committee*

• any continuing political committee (a.k.a., political action committee)

• any candidate committee of a candidate for, or holder of, an elective office: o of the public entity awarding the contract o of that county in which that public entity is located o of another public entity within that county o or of a legislative district in which that public entity is located or, when the public entity is a

county, of any legislative district which includes all or part of the county. The disclosure must list reportable contributions to any of the committees that exceed $300 per election cycle that were made during the 12 months prior to award of the contract. See N.J.S.A. 19:44A-8 and 19:44A-16 for more details on reportable contributions.

N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 itemizes the parties from whom contributions must be disclosed when a business entity is not a natural person. This includes the following:

• individuals with an “interest” ownership or control of more than 10% of the profits or assets of a business entity or 10% of the stock in the case of a business entity that is a corporation for profit

• all principals, partners, officers, or directors of the business entity or their spouses

• any subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by the business entity

• IRS Code Section 527 New Jersey based organizations, directly or indirectly controlled by the business entity and filing as continuing political committees, (PACs). When the business entity is a natural person, “a contribution by that person’s spouse or child, residing therewith, shall be deemed to be a contribution by the business entity.” [N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26(b)] The contributor must be listed on the disclosure. Any business entity that fails to comply with the disclosure provisions shall be subject to a fine imposed by ELEC in an amount to be determined by the Commission which may be based upon the amount that the business entity failed to report. The enclosed list of agencies is provided to assist the contractor in identifying those public agencies whose elected official and/or candidate campaign committees are affected by the disclosure requirement. It is the contractor’s responsibility to identify the specific committees to which contributions may have been made and need to be disclosed. The disclosed information may exceed the minimum requirement. The enclosed form, a content-consistent facsimile, or an electronic data file containing the required details (along with a signed cover sheet) may be used as the contractor’s submission and is disclosable to the public under the Open Public Records Act. The contractor must also complete the attached Stockholder Disclosure Certification. This will assist the agency in meeting its obligations under the law.

NOTE: This section does not apply to Board of Education contracts. * N.J.S.A. 19:44A-3(s): “The term "legislative leadership committee" means a committee established, authorized to be established, or designated by the President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the General Assembly or the Minority Leader of the General Assembly pursuant to section 16 of P.L.1993, c.65 (C.19:44A-10.1) for the purpose of receiving contributions and making expenditures.”
