ORDINANCE APPROVING A GRANT OF EASEMENT TO NIAGARA MOHAWK
POWER CORPORATION AND VERIZON NEW YORK, INC.
WHEREAS, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation and Verizon New York, Inc., have asked the
City of Troy to grant a perpetual Easement through City lands commonly identified as the Green
Island Bridge parking lot at 401 River Street; and
WHEREAS, the location of the Easement is more fully described in the “Grant of Easement”
with Easement Sketch attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, the terms, conditions, and covenants of the Easement are stated in the attached
Grant of Easement; and
WHEREAS, the immediate purpose of the Easement is to induce Niagara Mohawk to install a
new 600 amp underground service and above-ground transformer that will supply the City’s new
Marina with electric power; and
WHEREAS, Niagara Mohawk’s planned facilities, as well as the rights to use and maintain them
within the Easement area, are reasonably consistent with the current uses of the surface lands and
will greatly enhance the serviceability of the new Marina; and
WHEREAS, the Marina is a capstone element of the Troy Seawall Project that the City wants to
bring to completion as soon as possible.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Troy, in City Council convened, hereby ordains and authorizes
the Mayor to execute on the City’s behalf a Grant of Easement conforming to Exhibit “A”
attached hereto.

MEMO IN SUPPORT
This permanent Easement will transfer certain property rights in City owned lands located at 401
River Street (commonly identified as the Green Island Bridge parking lot) to Niagara Mohawk
and Verizon. The purpose of the Easement is to induce Niagara Mohawk to install a new 600
amp underground service and above-ground transformer that will supply our new Marina with
electric power. The planned underground conduit, as shown on the map, runs underneath the
Green Island Bridge parking lot to the lot’s center island, where the new transformer will be
placed. The new transformer will be connected to already existing underground lines. Niagara
Mohawk will own all of the power facilities it constructs, as well as the rights to use and
maintain them within the granted Easement area in perpetuity. The planned facilities are
consistent with the current uses of the surface lands and will greatly enhance the serviceability of
the new Marina. The City’s goal is to have the power up and running by Labor Day weekend in
order to have a grand opening ribbon cutting with FEMA. The Marina is a capstone element of
the long running Troy Seawall Project. The Project has been funded largely by FEMA and is fast
approaching completion. As a practical consideration, the Marina needs to be completed in order
to close out the job in order for FEMA to sign off on the City’s reimbursement.

both of the Grantees, may interfere with the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Facilities. The first clearing may be
for less than the full width and may be widened from time to time to the full width;
c. Excavate or change the grade of the Grantor’s Land as is reasonable, necessary, and proper for any and all

ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A CREDIT FOR ANY PENALTY IMPOSED ON
PAYMENTS MADE TO THE CITY OF TROY TREASURER’S OFFICE ON
AUGUST 1, AUGUST 2, OR AUGUST 3, 2020
The City of Troy, convened in City Council, ordains as follows:
Section 1. Troy City Charter § C-48 (E) requires that a penalty of 3% be added to unpaid
taxes on the first day of each month succeeding the collection period until such
taxes are paid.
Section 2. Because of certain programmed safety limits, the City’s online payment collection
service would not accept some tax payments on Friday, July 31, 2020, the last day
of the penalty free collection period for the second installment of City property
taxes.
Section 3. As a result, certain taxpayers who attempted to make timely payments online on
July 31, 2020, were unable to pay their taxes.
Section 4. As a corrective measure in these unique circumstances, the Treasurer shall issue a
credit for any penalty imposed on payments made to the City online or
postmarked by regular mail on August 1, August 2, or August 3, 2020, but there
shall be no credit for penalties imposed on payments made or postmarked after
August 3, 2020.
Section 5. This act will take effect immediately.

ORD59
MEMO IN SUPPORT
On the evening of July 31, 2020 the City’s payment website stopped accepting payments due to
certain safety limits being exceeded. The limits are implemented by the site through discussions
with the City for internal control measures.
This ordinance authorizes the Treasurer to issue a credit for the 3% interest penalty accrued on
any account that makes payment on August 1st, 2nd or 3rd. This is needed for fairness to the
taxpayers who attempted to pay but were shut out of the system. The second installment of
property taxes was due and payable on July 31st.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT
WITH PASSPORT LABS, INC.
WHEREAS, the City has been exploring options for contactless payments for parking
meters and parking permits; and
WHEREAS, the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) issued a Request
for Proposal and awarded a contract to Passport Labs, Inc., for a digital permit portal and mobile
payment system; and
WHEREAS, the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) included language
authorizing other government entities to use this contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council authorizes the Mayor
to enter into an agreement with Passport Labs, Inc. for a digital permit portal and mobile
payment system for one (1) year with the option to extend or cancel upon and in accordance with
the terms attached hereto and made a part thereof.
Approved as to form ____________________, 2020
Richard T. Morrissey, Corporation Counsel
RES86
MEMO IN SUPPORT
There are currently parking meters in place throughout the City that require a visitor to
physically pay at the parking kiosk with either cash or credit card. Implementing a mobile
payment system will allow visitors in the City to pay the parking fee through a mobile app
without having to go to the parking kiosk. This will create more efficiency for the user, as well
as provide a contactless payment option for them.
The Treasurer’s Office currently accepts payments for monthly parking permits. Payments can
be made in person, over the phone, or through the mail. At present, there is no online option to
pay or be placed on a waiting list for a parking space. The digital permit portal from Passport
Labs, Inc., will allow customers to make an electronic payment, apply for a permit electronically,
and be added to a waiting list electronically. The system now in place for parking permits is
very manual and outdated and is not efficient. This new system will increase efficiencies for
both the user and City employees, as well as offer a contactless payment option.
Both of these systems will allow the Parking Enforcement Officers to electronically correlate
license plates with permits before issuing tickets. The officers will no longer have to search for a
piece of paper on a dashboard or a hangtag on a rearview mirror to determine if there is a valid
parking permit. This will also greatly increase efficiency with enforcement.
This contract will help the City move towards more contactless payments during a time when it
is very much needed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as introduce up to date technology
to the City’s visitors - technology that is already in place in many other municipalities.

marketplace (as well as related Third Party Products). Customer may request the addition of any Products

not, directly, indirectly, alone, or with another person or entity (a) decompile, disassemble, interpret, reverse
engineer, translate, or otherwise determine or attempt to determine any source code, algorithms, or
underlying ideas of the Licensed Software or any portion thereof; (b) remove or modify any Passport or
third-party markings, identification, copyright, or other notices from the Passport System; (c) sublicense,
provide, lease, lend, pledge, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes, or allow others to use the

4.3. No Other Licenses. Except as specifically granted in this Agreement, no license or other
right is granted, either directly or indirectly, by implication or otherwise, to Customer, and all other rights are

5. THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
5.1. The successful delivery of the Passport System may require that Customer use certain
Third Party Products depending on Customer’s operations, and, if so, Customer will be notified. Customer
agrees to be bound to all licenses, obligations, restrictions, and limitations in connection with any Third
Party Products. Excluding warranty of title to any Third Party Products, all other Third Party Product
warranties, including, without limitation, warranties with respect to materials, workmanship, capability, and
intellectual property rights are made by such manufacturers and not by Passport. Passport will use
commercially reasonable efforts to pass through to Customer for Customer’s benefit all end-user warranties
3
RES86
that the Third Party Products vendor(s) provides directly to Passport. Customer will look solely to such
vendors or manufacturers for all remedies under such warranties.
6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
6.1. Ownership. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Intellectual Property is
exclusively owned by and reserved to Passport, or to Passport’s Third Party Software or Third Party
Hardware providers, as the case may be, and Passport or such Third Party Software or Third Party
Hardware providers will retain all right, title, and interest in the Intellectual Property. Customer will neither
acquire nor assert any ownership or other proprietary rights in the Intellectual Property or in any derivation,
adaptation, or variation thereof (regardless of who creates the derivation, adaptation, or variation) except
as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Agreement.
6.2. Feedback. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Parties’ dealings arising out of or related to
this Agreement will restrict Passport’s right to use, profit from, disclose, publish, keep secret, or otherwise
exploit Feedback (as defined below), without compensating or crediting Customer or the individual providing
such Feedback, except to the limited extent that Section 21 (Confidentiality; Trade Secrets) governs
Feedback that constitutes Customer’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
21 (Confidentiality; Trade Secrets), Customer may not designate Feedback as its Confidential Information
to the extent that such Feedback relates to the Passport System. “Feedback” refers to any suggestion or
idea for improving or otherwise modifying the Passport System.
7. PRIVACY POLICY; TERMS OF USE
7.1. End users’ use of the Passport System shall at all times be governed by Passport’s Privacy
Policy, which can be viewed at https://passportinc.com/privacy-policy/, and Passport’s Terms and
Conditions, which can be viewed at https://passportinc.com/terms-and-conditions/. Passport’s Privacy
Policy and Terms and Conditions may be amended from time to time in Passport’s sole discretion.
8. SUPPORT SERVICES
8.1. Customer Support. Passport will provide telephone and email support to Customer’s staff
Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET to address technical support issues. Passport
will provide 24/7 after-hours telephone support. Passport can be contacted for support issues at:
• 980-939-0990 or via email at help@passportinc.com (Monday-Friday 8AM-7PM ET)
• 866.815.3043 or help247@passportinc.com (after-hours support)
8.2. End User Support. Customer shall provide initial support, including inquiries via telephone
and email, for End Users. If Customer is unable to address End User inquiries, Customer may direct End
Users to Passport’s End User support team, which is available Monday through Saturday between the

should not display Passport’s support phone numbers (or other direct contact information for Passport) on
any marketing or signage visible by End User.
9. PRODUCT UPDATES
9.1. Updates. To the extent that Passport releases any system-wide improvements,
modifications, updates, or enhanced versions of the Licensed Software during the Term, the improvements,
modifications, updates, or enhanced versions will, when available, be provided to Customer at no charge
and will automatically be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
9.2. New Features. Customer may request new features or functionality to be built into the
Passport System, and, to the extent that Passport plans in its sole discretion to incorporate such requested
new features or functionality into the Passport System, Passport will develop such features and functionality
at no cost to Customer pursuant to Passport’s development timeline. If Customer desires to expedite such
4
RES86
development, Passport may, in its sole discretion, charge Customer an expedite fee to develop the
requested features or functionality, provided, however, that Passport shall first notify Customer of the
expedite fee and receive written approval from Customer to proceed. If Customer’s requested features or
functionality are created for Customer’s use and Passport does not plan to incorporate such requested
features into the Passport System, Passport may, in its sole discretion, charge Customer a custom
development fee for the development of such features or functionality, provided again, however, that
Passport shall first notify Customer of the custom development fee and receive written approval from
Customer to proceed.
10. UPTIME
10.1. Passport will provide the Passport System with Uptime (as defined below) of at
least ninety-nine percent (99.0%) calculated over a rolling six-month period (“Uptime Guarantee”). For any
month during which the Passport System uptime drops below the Uptime Guarantee, Passport will provide
a billing credit in an amount equal to the percentage difference between a) the lowest uptime reached at
any point during the month (calculated on a rolling six month period) and b) the Uptime Guarantee,
multiplied by the total fees payable to Passport for such month. For example, if Uptime falls to ninety-five
percent (95.0%) during a given month and if during that month the fees payable to Passport were one
hundred dollars ($100.00), Passport will issue a billing credit of four dollars ($4.00). Uptime is defined as
any period of time during which end users of the Passport System can use the Passport System, excluding
any scheduled maintenance performed by Passport after hours or unavailability or impaired functionality of
the Passport System due to causes outside of Passport’s reasonable control (e.g., disruptions caused by
Passport’s hosting or payment processing partners).
11. FEES; PAYMENT
11.1. License Fees. In consideration for the licenses granted to Customer under this
Agreement, Customer shall pay to Passport the License Fees.
11.2. Annual License Fees. For License Fees that are payable on an annual basis, as
indicated in an Order Form, License Fees for the first year of the Term are due and payable upon the
Effective Date and, thereafter, on the anniversary of the Effective Date for the duration of the Term.
11.3. Third Party Products Fees. Customer shall pay Passport all fees related to Third
Party Products supplied to Customer under this Agreement as set forth in an Order Form (collectively, the
“Third Party Product Fees”), if applicable. Fees for Third Party Products provided through Passport from
and after the Effective Date may be subject to change based on the then-prevailing market rates of any
Third Party Product provider for such products.
11.4. Implementation or Monthly Minimum Fees. Customer shall pay Passport the
implementation fees or monthly minimum fees, if any, as set forth in an Order Form.
11.5. Fee Assumptions. Passport’s License Fees, gateway services fees, and merchant
services provider fees as set forth in this Agreement as of the Effective Date are conditioned upon certain
underlying information pertaining to Customer’s operations provided to Passport by Customer relating to
transaction volume (e.g., number of mobile pay transactions, number of citations written, or number of
parking permits purchased), transaction rates (e.g., hourly parking rates, citation rates, and permits rates),
and average dollar amount of transactions as of the Effective Date, as well as card network fees in effect
as of the Effective Date. To the extent there are non-trivial changes in any of the foregoing from and after
the Effective Date, the License Fees, gateway services fees, and/or merchant services provider fees are
subject to change to maintain, as closely as possible, the economic arrangement anticipated, or
subsequently achieved, based on the information and card network fees in effect as of the Effective Date.
Passport and Customer shall negotiate in good faith with respect to the same, provided, however, that
Passport shall not be obligated to continue providing the Passport System if the Parties are unable to reach
agreement on a revised fee structure.
5
RES86
11.6. Expenses. If applicable, Customer shall reimburse Passport for any pre-approved
travel, lodging, and meal expenses incurred in connection with Passport’s performance under this
Agreement, which shall be invoiced as incurred.
11.7. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise indicated in an Order Form, all payments due
to Passport hereunder are due and payable within thirty (30)days after the date of the invoice. Any
amounts not timely paid shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month from
the due date or, if lower, the maximum rate permissible by law. If Customer fails to remit payment when
due, Passport will have, in its sole discretion, the right to immediately suspend or terminate Customer’s
access to the Passport System in accordance with Section 17.2.1 and/or withhold funds in Passport’s
possession that would otherwise be remitted to Customer, in addition to any other remedies available to
Passport under this Agreement or under law. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form, all amounts
payable to Passport hereunder are payable in full in United States Dollars without deduction or set off and
shall be in addition to all tax obligations of Customer. If a currency other than the U.S. Dollar is specified
in the Order Form, the exchange rate will be fixed at the foreign exchange rate published by the United
States Federal Reserve on the date the remittance of payment is made or pursuant to a suitable
commercially available service to the extent utilized by Passport in its sole discretion. If Customer requires
remittance of funds by check or custom invoicing inconsistent with Passport’s standard format, Passport
reserves the right to assess reasonable additional fees that shall be communicated and agreed upon with
Customer in advance.
12. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS.
In addition to the payment of fees as set forth above any other obligations of Customer set forth in this
Agreement, Customer shall also be subject to the following covenants:
12.1. Customer shall use Passport as Customer’s sole provider for the Products and
services procured by Customer under this Agreement and any substantially similar products or
services provided by other vendors that are capable of being provided by Passport. Parking Permit
payments can still be made directly to Customer by mail and in person at City Hall. Parking Meter
payments can still be made at the parking meter itself by cash or credit card. All such sales and payments
are excluded from this Agreement.
12.2. Passport’s pricing is conditioned on Customer’s continuous use of the Passport
System throughout the Term consistent with historical use of the Passport System or any predecessor
system. Customer covenants that it will not, during the Term, take any action that would materially diminish
or cease the use of the Passport System, except in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 17.2.
12.3. From and after the Effective Date, Customer shall cooperate reasonably and
promptly with Passport, and devote sufficient personnel and resources, to support the configuration and
implementation of the Passport System through and including the Substantial Completion Date and Go-
Live Date, and thereafter as reasonably necessary to continue the ongoing operations and maintenance of
the Passport System on behalf of Customer.
13. PAYMENT GATEWAY PROVIDER
13.1. Passport is a payment gateway provider and shall provide payment gateway
services to Customer in connection with the Products delivered under the Passport System at the rates
indicated in the Order Form.
14. MERCHANT SERVICES PROVIDER
14.1. Passport is a full-service Merchant Services Provider, meaning a service provider
certified by the major card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express) to processes
credit and debit card transactions. Passport shall serve as the Merchant Services Provider in connection
with the provision of the Passport System at the rates indicated in the Order Form. Customer will be
6
RES86
responsible for paying all merchant processing costs, including, without limitation, chargeback fees,
settlement fees and interchange reimbursement fees.
15. RESERVED.
16. SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY
16.1. If any Third Party Products are purchased by Customer under this Agreement,
Passport will deliver the same FOB shipping point for delivery to the installation site designated by
Customer. Customer agrees to pay all reasonable delivery charges for the Third Party Products. Delivery
schedules may not be canceled, postponed, or changed without Passport’s prior written consent. Unless
otherwise expressly stated, shipments shall be separately invoiced and paid as billed without regard to
subsequent deliveries. Failure to timely pay Passport any monies due or owing Passport shall excuse
Passport from making further deliveries, in addition to any other remedies to which Passport is entitled
under this Agreement. Title to and risk of loss in the Third Party Products shall pass to Customer when the
delivery carrier takes possession of the Third Party Products.
17. TERM AND TERMINATION
17.1. Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain
effective for as long as there is an active Order Form, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 17.2
below. Upon expiration of the Initial Term of an Order Form, the Order Form shall automatically renew for
successive Renewal Terms on the same terms and conditions, unless either Party notifies the other in
writing not less than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the expiration date of the Initial Term or the applicable
Renewal Term of its intent not to renew. Either party may terminate this agreement with or without cause,
subject to the terms contained in section 17.2.
17.2. Termination. The following termination rights are in addition to any rights provided
elsewhere in this Agreement and are without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Passport

notice to Customer in the event that Customer fails to make full payment when due of any amount required
to be paid by Customer under this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days of Passport’s written notice
of such failure to pay.
17.2.2. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon thirty (30) calendar days’
prior written notice to the other Party in the event of a material breach of a material provision of this
Agreement, provided, however, that the termination shall not be effective if, during the thirty (30) day notice
period, or such other cure period as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, the breaching Party cures the
breach. Should the City of Troy elect to terminate this agreement for cause, the Customer will notify
Passport thirty (30) days prior to the termination date and shall specify the cause for termination as
well as the date the termination shall be effective. This termination notice will be issued via a written
letter sent by certified U.S. mail.
17.2.3. The Customer reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time
upon ninety (90) days written notice to Passport.

immediately terminate; (b) Customer shall immediately cease using the Passport System; (c) Customer
shall return to Passport any Licensed Hardware which Customer has not obtained title to as of such

7
RES86
payment on Passport’s final invoice as set forth in Section 12.4. Passport will provide commercially
reasonable assistance to Customer to enable the transition of the services to a successor vendor, if
requested by Customer, provided first, however, that Customer has remitted to Passport all outstanding
balances.

THIS SECTION SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE INDEPENDENT OF AND SEVERABLE FROM ANY OTHER
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
21. CONFIDENTIALITY; TRADE SECRETS.
21.1. Obligations. Each Party will maintain in strict confidence all Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will not disclose or grant use of the Disclosing
Party’s Confidential Information to any third party except to the Receiving Party’s employees and other
representatives who have a need to know such Confidential Information or as expressly authorized by the
Disclosing Party in writing. The Receiving Party will not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information
except as authorized by this Agreement. The Receiving Party will use at least the same standard of care
to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as it uses to protect its own confidential
information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party will
cause each employee or other representative to whom the Receiving Party discloses the Confidential
Information to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality that is at least as rigorous as the obligations
contained in this Agreement. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery
of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Unless otherwise
set forth herein, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, or upon the request
of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall promptly return to the Disclosing Party (or, at the Receiving
Party’s option, destroy) all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and shall promptly certify in
9
RES86
writing that it has done so; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall not be obligated to return or
destroy any Confidential Information stored in archival or back-up files for which return or destruction is not
reasonably practicable or any Confidential Information that must be retained for as long as necessary for
purposes of audit, compliance, dispute resolution, or record retention pursuant to this Agreement.
21.2. Exceptions. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any
information that the Receiving Party can show is or was: (a) already known to the Receiving Party at the
time of disclosure without obligation of confidentiality; (b) independently developed by the Receiving Party
without use of or access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; (c) approved for disclosure
by the Disclosing Party beforehand and in writing; (d) in the public domain without breach of this Agreement;
or (e) lawfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without obligation of confidentiality.
21.3. Permitted Disclosures. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit either
Party from disclosing the Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent that such disclosure is
required by applicable law or order of a court or other governmental agency, including pursuant to any open
records law, open meetings law, or any other local public disclosure law applicable to Customer; provided,
however, that the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement
and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party to minimize the scope of any such disclosure and to obtain a
protective or similar order.
21.4. Trade Secrets. Customer hereby acknowledges that the Passport System and its
components, whether provided by Passport or its third-party vendors or licensors, constitute trade secrets
of Passport and/or its third party-vendors or licensors, and as such are protected by civil and criminal law,
are very valuable to Passport and/or its third-party vendors or licensors, and that their use must be carefully
and continuously controlled. Customer agrees to notify Passport immediately of the unauthorized
possession, use, or knowledge of any item supplied under this Agreement by any person or organization
not authorized by this Agreement to have such possession, use, or knowledge. Customer will promptly
furnish Passport full details of such possession, use, or knowledge and will cooperate fully with Passport in
any litigation against third parties reasonably deemed necessary by Passport to protect its proprietary
rights.
21.5. No Adequate Remedy. In the event of a breach of this Section 21, the parties
agree that the Disclosing Party may not have an adequate remedy at law, in money, or damages and,
accordingly, shall be entitled to seek an injunction against such breach without posting a bond, in addition
to any other remedies at law or in equity.
22. DATA RIGHTS.
This Section shall govern the rights of Passport and Customer, as the case may be, with respect to the
data that is subject to this Agreement. Passport will, by provisions in its Privacy Policy or otherwise, procure

data as stated in this Section. Passport’s Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time in
Passport’s sole discretion, can be viewed at https://www.passportinc.com/privacy-policy.
22.1. Operational Data. Operational Data is data specific to Customer’s operation that is
provided by Customer to Passport to be used in the configuration and provision of the Passport System for
Customer’s use. Operational Data is specific to Customer’s operation, which is not available to Passport
publicly or by other means. Operational Data may include, but is not limited to, zone information, rate
information, operational schedules, business metrics, business rules, parking and other inventory and
assets, and relevant details of partner agreements. In each case, Operational Data may refer to past,

Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI-DSS”): Account Data; Cardholder Data; Primary Account Number;
and Sensitive Authentication Data. Passport acquires a license or sublicense to the PCI-DSS Information
from end users who share such data with Passport in connection with their use of the Software. In providing
the services under this Agreement, Passport will maintain Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standard
certification and secure PCI-DSS Information in accordance with PCI-DSS. As such, Passport may not
grant Customer derivative rights to such PCI-DSS Information and Passport shall not be required to disclose
such PCI-DSS Information to Customer.
22.3. Personal Identifiable Information. Personal identifiable information (“PII”) is any
representation of information that permits the identity of an individual to whom the information applies to be
reasonably determined or inferred by either direct or indirect means. Name, address, social security
number, telephone number, or email address directly identify individuals. Certain data elements—including
gender, race, birth date, geographic indicator (such as zip code or postal code), and other descriptors—
can be used in conjunction or with other data elements to indirectly identify individuals. Passport may
sublicense PII to Customer under certain conditions (including but not limited to Customer’s compliance
with information security controls and applicable regulations) that shall be memorialized separately if and
when applicable.
22.4. Activity Data. Activity Data is any data generated in the providing of services under
this Agreement by Passport to Customer and by end users’ interactions with the services or with Passport
directly that is not otherwise PCI-DSS information or PII as defined above. Activity Data may include, but
is not limited to, user interaction data, geolocation data, opt-in/opt-out status (including compliance logs),
purchase and session data, application diagnostic data, service performance data, and support data. Data
that is derived from Activity Data is also Activity Data. Activity Data is the sole and exclusive property of
Passport. Passport grants Customer an irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-assignable, and
nontransferable license to Activity Data for the Term to the extent and in the format that Passport chooses
in its sole discretion to expose such Activity Data through its administrative portal or as otherwise agreed
upon with Customer and only for Customer’s internal use in connection with the services provided under
this agreement.

publicly disclose that Passport is Customer’s provider of the Passport System as set forth herein by means
of, by way of illustration and not limitation, news releases, public announcements, or other forms of publicity.
Passport may use the name or marks of Customer, or reference the fact that Customer is a client of

dispute will be venued exclusively in Rensselaer County in the state of New York or in the U.S. District
Court Northern District of New York and the parties expressly submit to and consent that the courts and

expressly acknowledges that there are no warranties, representations, covenants, or understandings of
any kind, manner, or description whatsoever by either Party to the other except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement.
25.2. No Waiver. Failure by either Party to insist upon or enforce strict performance of
any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement will not be
construed or deemed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such Party’s right to assert or rely upon
any such provisions, rights, or remedies in that or any other instance; rather, the same will be and will
remain in full force and effect. Any waiver by either Party of its rights under this Agreement must be in
writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the waiving Party.
25.3. Assignment. This Agreement and all of its provisions will be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assignees. Neither Passport
nor Customer may assign any rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without prior written consent of the
other Party, provided, however, that Passport may, without such written consent, assign this Agreement
and its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder in connection with the transfer or sale of all or
substantially all of its assets or business related to this Agreement, or in the event of its merger,
consolidation, change in control or similar transaction. Any permitted assignee shall assume all assigned
obligations of its assignor under this agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall
be void and of no effect.
25.4. Construction. The language of all parts of this Agreement will in all cases be
construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either of the parties.
Headings of paragraphs herein are for convenience of reference only and are without substantive
significance. No rule of law that requires that any part of the Agreement be construed against the Party
drafting the language will be used in interpreting this Agreement.
25.5. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, (a) the Parties shall amend the
pertinent provision(s) to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties, and (b) the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.
25.6. Relationship of Parties. The Parties expressly understand and agree that each
Party is an independent contractor in the performance of each and every part of this Agreement and is
solely responsible for all of its employees and agents and its labor costs and expenses arising in connection
therewith. Further, neither Party, by virtue of this Agreement, will have any right, power, or authority to act
or create any obligation, expressed or implied, on behalf of the other Party.
25.7. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made for the benefit of Passport
and Customer and not for the benefit of any third parties.
25.8. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be made or
given hereunder by one Party to the other Party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given:
(a) when hand delivered; (b) on the fifth (5th) business day after the day of deposit in the United States mail
when sent by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested; or (c) on the next business day

SCHEDULE 1
MOBILE PAYMENT FOR PARKING
Services:
Passport will provide services and license software, including all web and mobile applications and related documentation necessary for
Customer to operate a mobile payment for parking program (“MPP”) which allows all parking customers in any parking facilities owned
or managed by Customer (the “Premises”) the ability to pay for parking using a smartphone application or mobile web application.
Equipment:
Passport will provide Customer an initial quantity of signs and decals consistent with Passport’s marketing best practices at no charge
to support the implementation of the MPP. Customer will be solely responsible for installing all signs and decals in the Premises.
Additional signs and decals shall be charged at Passport’s then-prevailing unit prices. Passport will provide a design file to allow
Customer to print replacement signs and decals at no charge.
Ancillary Fees:
a) Customer will pay a ten dollar ($10) administrative fee in addition to sign and shipping costs per sign for any additional or
replacement signs purchased through Passport.
b) Customer will pay a one dollar ($1) administrative fee in addition to decal and shipping costs per decal for any additional or
replacement decals purchased through Passport.
Third Party Providers:
In order to expand the management data available to Customer and to improve access and the user experience for a broader group of
individuals wishing to pay for parking and related transactions via channels other than the MPP provided by Passport, Passport may, at
its option, allow parkers to use a third-party provider’s (each a “Third Party Provider”) end-user-facing interfaces for purposes of initiating
parking transactions, including any and all possible methods available to parkers to request the right to access and occupy a parking
space or otherwise-denominated curb space for any period of time (in accordance with Customer’s applicable rates, rules, ordinances,
and regulations). Such interfaces will include, but not be limited to, in-dash vehicle systems, navigation systems (whether in-dash or
smartphone-based), and mobile payments for parking applications other than Passport’s MPP (each an “Interface”).
Should Passport exercise this option, such Third Party Provider(s) shall contract directly with Passport to establish the integrations
necessary for Passport to facilitate all mobile payments for parking sessions and transactions for the Third Party Provider(s) and its end
users. The term “facilitate” includes, but is not limited to: (a) all tasks related to parking rights management, including the calculation of
parking session prices, (b) the management of rates, rules, and restrictions and zones, spaces, or other units of parking or curbside
inventory; (c) transactional reporting; (d) tasks related to transmission of parking rights data to parking enforcement systems and any
data processing systems; (e) tasks related to refund issuance, parking rule management, reconciliation of funds, invoicing, and other
administrative functions; and (f) all back-office management interfacing necessary to manage the foregoing and all other tasks necessary
or desirable for Passport to effectively manage the issuance and processing of parking rights on behalf of City (the “Shared Services”).
For parking transactions initiated via a Third Party Provider’s Interface, payment processing must be conducted by Passport.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Passport may share Operational Data with Third Party Providers to the extent
necessary to enable the Shared Services.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that a Third Party Provider may configure and control the feature set of its own Interface so long as
it is capable of performing the minimum functions required to interact with Passport’s platform and execute parking transactions.
Customer further acknowledges and agrees that certain data received from Third Party Providers may be more limited than what Passport
can provide to Customer as Customer’s MPP provider and may need to be provided, if at all, on an aggregated and/or anonymized basis;
Passport shall, however, use commercially reasonable efforts to supply such data as may be reasonably requested by Customer for its
internal purposes.
To utilize the Shared Services, each Third Party Provider will be required to integrate with application programming interface endpoints
provided by Passport, which cannot be accessed or utilized by such Third Party Provider prior to the execution of a standalone contract
with Passport governing the access, use, pricing, disclosure, and governance of the Shared Services consistent with the foregoing
paragraphs and as otherwise determined by Passport in its sole discretion.
Except in the case of Third-Party Providers pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs, Passport shall be the exclusive mobile payments for
parking service provider for City during the term of this Agreement.
