This Pendo OEM Partner Addendum (this “Addendum”) is entered into as of the date OEM Partner accepts this Addendum (including by signing an order form with Pendo) (the “Effective Date”) between the partner entity that is a party to this Addendum (“OEM Partner”) and Pendo.io Inc., a Delaware corporation with an address at 150 Fayetteville Street, Suite 1400, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601 (“Pendo”). Pendo and OEM Partner agree that this Addendum, together with the Pendo Software Services Agreement or other master customer agreement entered between the parties including any addendums and exhibits thereto (the “Terms and Conditions”), form the entire agreement between the parties (the “Agreement”) with respect to OEM Partner’s distribution of the Platform (defined below). Any terms not defined in this Addendum shall have the meaning set forth in the Terms and Conditions. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Terms and Conditions, the terms of this Addendum will control with respect to OEM Partner’s participation in Pendo’s OEM partner program.
1. Access and Restrictions
(a) Access and Use.
(ii) In consideration of the foregoing, Pendo grants to OEM Partner during the Term (defined below) a limited, non exclusive and non-transferable right to integrate the Platform as part of the Integrated Product for purposes of distribution of such Integrated Products to Customers subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including rights for OEM Partner to use and make copies of associated documents, published specifications, user guides, manuals and other enablement materials (the “Documentation”) for purposes of marketing the Platform and internal sales training. Pendo (and/or its licensors) is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title and interest in and to the Platform, Documentation, and Pendo’s proprietary property (including intellectual property rights) and reserves all rights, title and interest in the foregoing unless otherwise expressly granted under the Agreement. No ownership right is conveyed to OEM Partners or Customer(s) in the Platform, Documentation or Pendo’s proprietary property, irrespective of the use of terms such as “purchase” or “sale” herein or in any Order Form.
(b) Restrictions. OEM Partner shall not (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code or other trade secrets from any of the software comprising the Platform; (ii) remove or alter any copyright or other proprietary notices affixed to or embedded in the Platform or the Documentation; (iii) circumvent or attempt to circumvent any methods employed by Pendo to control access to the components, features or functions of the Platform, or to prevent unauthorized use of the Platform; or (iv) use the Platform or the Documentation to develop a competing software product. The restrictions on resale in the Terms and Conditions do not apply with respect to OEM Partner’s distribution of the Platform as part of the Integrated Product hereunder.
(c) Trademarks. Each party grants the other party a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license during the Term to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos and other similar content (the “Trademarks”) of the other party in conjunction with the distribution of the Platform and its associated Documentation as part of the Integrated Product. Neither party will create in or represent that it has any right, title or interest in the marks of the other, except the license explicitly granted herein. Any use of Pendo’s trade name, trademark, service marks or logos not contemplated in this Addendum, or in association with any Pendo product or services other than the Platform is a breach of the Agreement.

OEM Partner is solely responsible for the terms and conditions between OEM Partner and Customers governing Customer’s use of and access to the Platform . OEM Partner is responsible for all Customer billing and collection for its use of and access to the Platform.
(c) Documentation and Training. Pendo will provide OEM Partner with appropriate Documentation to enable the OEM Partner to perform its obligations hereunder, including marketing and sales support and materials.

(d) Support. OEM Partner shall provide initial customer support for Customer requests and shall include initial triage of Customer’s reports of errors or defects in the Platform (“Tier 1 Support”). OEM Partner will provide Tier 1 Support in accordance with OEM Partner’s standard SLAs, or if OEM Partner does not have SLAs in place with Customer, in accordance with the SLAs agreed to in the Terms and Conditions, or if SLAs were not agreed to in the Terms and Conditions, then in accordance with the SLAs attached hereto as Attachment A (in which case “Pendo shall be replaced with “OEM Partner” in such SLA). If OEM Partner’s Tier 1 Support does not fully resolve Customer’s error or defect, OEM Partner will escalate Customer’s request to appropriate Pendo personnel for additional support.
