The Business Account is responsible for the storage, distribution and use of the ORCA Business Cards issued to it. The Business Account bears the sole risk of any loss, damage, theft or unauthorized use of one of its cards, whether such card is held in its inventory or has been distributed for use.

The Business Account is responsible for communicating to Cardholders that"distance based fares" are charged on some systems such as: Link light rail, and Sounder commuter rail systems. On distance based fare modes, when the Cardholder"taps on,"the ORCA system will record the trip to the last stop on the line. When the Cardholder"taps off'at the end of the ride, ORCA will record the actual ride. The Business Account then will be charged the correct fare for the actual ride taken. If the Cardholder fails to"tap off', then ORCA will record a ride to the end of the line. The result of not"tapping off' is that the Business Account will be charged the largest fare for the ride even if a shorter ride was taken. The Business Account may provide Cardholder Rules of Use to the Cardholder as referenced in Attachment 4, or provide this information using other methods such as an email or flyer. 5.5 Distribution of ORCA Business Cards. The Business Account is responsible for distributing its Business Cards for use by its Eligible Business Cardholders. The Business Account remains the owner of all Business Cards it distributes but a cardholder may also purchase and load individual ORCA products on a Business Card and individually register the card. To enable Cardholders to register Business Cards as provided in Section 6 below, the Business Account may not register, or allow anyone other than the Cardholder to register, the Business Cards that are issued under this Agreement. The Business Account shall require, as a condition of receiving a Business Card, that the Cardholder sign the written Cardholder Rules of Use incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment 4, ORCA Business Cardholder Rules of Use. ORCA Passport Agreement Page 3 of 17 Business Name: City of Renton BAID: 2480 March 01, 2017-February 28,2018 The Business Account understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for implementation and ' enforcement of the Cardholder Rules of Use. 5.6 Proof of payment. The Business Account is responsible for notifying Cardholders that proof of payment must be made by tapping the ORCA Card on the card reader in the manner required by each Agency; otherwise, the Cardholder may be subject to a fine if the ORCA Card is not tapped, and the Cardholder will be personally responsible for any fines that may be imposed. 5.7 Business Account Access to Personally Identifying Information. If an individual Cardholder opts to register one of the Business Cards issued to the Business Account, any personally identifying information provided to the ORCA System (e.g. name, address, telephone number, and credit card number)will not be accessible by the Business Account. If the Business Account collects any personally identifying information about individuals to whom it has distributed Business Cards, the Business Account is solely responsible for its collection, use, storage and disclosure of such information. 5.8 Card Blocks. In the event a Business Card is determined to be lost or stolen or if a Cardholder is determined by the Business Account to be no longer eligible to use the card,the Business Account may initiate a Card Block via the Business Account Website to invalidate the subject Business Card. The Lead Agency may also initiate a Card Block or a Product Block as to any of the Business AccounYs Business Cards at the request of the Business Account, or at the sole discretion of the Lead Agency in accordance with Section 4.4, or if it is suspected that a card has been altered, duplicated, counterfeited, stolen or used by an ineligible Cardholder. Once initiated, a Card Block must be processed in the ORCA system and downloaded to all reader devices throughout the region. Until that occurs, there is the potential that the Business Passport Product and any E-purse value or other ORCA Products on the subject card will continue to be used. The Business Account, not the Agencies, remains responsible for all transactions, and any loss or costs arising there from, for forty- eight(48)hours after the Card Block was initiated. 5.9 Restorafion of Value After Card B/ock. Following a Card Block, the Business Account may request the Lead Agency to restore value on a replacement of the blocked Business Card. An E-purse on a blocked card will be restored on the replacement card in approximately ten (10)calendar days after the replacement card is issued. The E-purse amount that remained on the lost or stolen card, forty- eight(48) hours after the Card Block was initiated in the ORCA system, will be restored to the replacement card via a remote revalue function. An E-purse on a blocked card will be restored on the replacement card on the eighth day after the card has been issued. The card must then be tapped to activate the E-purse value. 5.10 Card Replacement. The Business Account is responsible for ordering and paying for any new cards needed to replace Business Cards that for any reason cease to be available or suitable for use by the Cardholders under the program of the Business Account, including but not limited to, if the unavailability or unsuitability is caused by damage, abuse, loss,theft, Card Block, and end of useful life. Provided, however, and notwithstanding the exclusion of warranties in Section 14, if a Business Card malfunctions within twelve (12) months after it was delivered to the Business Account, it shall be replaced by the Lead Agency without additional charge to the Business Account if the malfunction was caused by a defect in design, material or workmanship and was not caused by misuse, an intentional act, negligence or damage, reasonable wear and tear excepted. The Business Account understands and agrees that to avoid the disruption and inconvenience caused by sporadic failures as its cards are used, it must plan for replacement of its Business Cards on a regular basis. As a condition of continuing under the Business Passport program, the Business Account agrees that: (a)it will retire all of its ORCA Business Cards at some time within four years after they are issued by the Lead Agency to the Business Account; and (b) purchase replacement Business Cards at the then- applicable rate. 6.0 CARDHOLDER USE OF ORCA BUSINESS CARDS Cardholder Privileges. The Business Account understands and agrees that, although it remains the owner of ORCA Business Cards after distribution, the Cardholder has the following privileges in connection with the use of an ORCA Business Card. 6.1 The Cardholder may present an ORCA Business Card, loaded with a valid, applicable Business Passport or Business Choice Product, to an ORCA fare transaction processor as proof of payment of all or a portion of a required fare on a regular transportation service operated by one or more of the ORCA Passport Agreement Page 4 of 17 Business Name: City of Renton BAID: 2480 March 01, 2017-February 28, 2018 Agencies. (Provided, however, an ORCA Product that is not sufficient to fully pay a fare will not be ' accepted as partial payment by the Washington State Ferries.) In all cases, a Cardholder will be required to make other payment to the extent a fare is not covered by an ORCA Product. 3.2 The Cardholder may individually purchase ORCA Products and load them on the Business Card in addition to any ORCA Product loaded by the Business Account. Individual ORCA Products may be used to pay all or a portion of a required fare on a transportation service not covered by a Business Passport Product or Business Choice Product. (Provided, however, an ORCA Product that is not su�cient to fully pay a fare will not be accepted as partial payment by the Washington State Ferries.) In all cases, a Cardholder will be required to make other payment to the extent a fare is not covered by an ORCA Product. 6.3 The Cardholder may register his/her name and other contact information with the ORCA System and link such personal information to the serial number of the Business Card provided to him/her. Such registration does not give the Cardholder any ownership rights in the card but does give the Cardholder the right to access the ORCA Cardholder Website to view the card's transaction history and current stored value, to modify travel zone preferences, and to add retail products. 7.0 NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS Except as otherwise provided herein or in Section 13.2, the Business Account understands and agrees that its purchases of Business Cards, and Business Passport Products and Business Choice Products purchased for such cards, are final and it is not entitled to any refunds. Provided, however, the Business Account may request a refund of the E-purse value remaining on a Business Card if the card is surrendered by the Business Account to the Lead Agency. Upon surrender of the subject Business Card,the Lead Agency shall initiate a Card Block and the refund processed approximately ten (10)calendar days after the Card Block was initiated. The E-purse amount refunded will be that which remained on the surrendered card forty-eight(48)hours after the Card Block was initiated in the ORCA system. A processing fee of ten dollars ($10)shall be payable by the Business Account to the Lead Agency for each such E-purse refund that is processed, regardless of e- purse value refunded. The Business Account, not the Lead Agency, is responsible for the refunding of such E- purse value, if any, to the individual Cardholder to whom the Business Card had been distributed. 8.0 BUSINESS ACCOUNT WEBSITE 8.1 The Business Account Website is the primary means by which the Business Account shall purchase ORCA Business Cards, Business Passport and Business Choice Products, manage its Business Cards and obtain information about the use of said cards. As a condition of participation in the Business Passport program, the Business Account agrees that it will use the Business Account Website when it is available and that each access and use of said website shall be subject to the Terms of Use and Privacy Statement that are in effect and posted on the Business Account Website at the time of such access and use. 8.2 The Business Account understands and agrees that uninterrupted access to and use of the Business Account Website is not guaranteed and agrees that it will contact its representative at the Lead Agency by email or telephone if the website is not available. 8.3 At the time the Business Account enters into the ORCA program, the Lead Agency will provide a single password to the Business Account's Primary Contact, as specified in Attachment 2, Designated Representatives, to enable user access to the Business AccounYs secured area of the Business Account Website. The Business Account is required to change the temporary password to one of its own creation. The Business Account shall be solely responsible for the number and identity of those employees with whom the Business AccounYs password is shared. The Business Account is also solely responsible for complying with the security standards specified in Attachment 5, Security Standards, which is incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. 9.0 INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE AGENCIES AND THE ORCA SYSTEM 9.1 The Business Account understands and agrees that the data, reports or any information provided to it via the Business Account Website or otherwise, is and remains the sole property of the Agencies and nothing shall be construed as a transfer or grant of any copyright or other property interest in such data, reports or information. The Agencies hereby grant to the Business Account a non-exclusive license to use any data, reports or information provided by the Agencies, via the Business Account Website or otherwise,for any lawful purpose related to the administration of the transportation benefits program of the Business Account. ORCA Passport Agreement Page 5 of 17 Business Name: City of Renton BAID: 2480 March 01,2017-February 28,2018 9.2 The ORCA System will record data each time an ORCA Business Card is presented to an ORCA ' device for fare payment and to load a product. Such transaction data includes, but is not limited to, the date, time, and location (or route)of the transaction. The Business Account may routinely access such transaction data related to its Business Cards to the extent provided via the Business Account Website. Said website and its reports do not provide the Business Account Business Card transaction data linked to card serial numbers. For the purpose of preventing fraud, the Primary Contact Person of the Business Account may submit a written request to the Lead Agency for transaction data related to a specific card number or for a card number linked to a specific transaction. The written request shall include the following: 9.2.1 Card number or the date, time and other known details about the specific transaction for which a card serial number is being requested; 9.2.2 A statement as to why the information is germane to the prevention of fraud; and 9.2.3 The signature of the Primary Contact Person. If the Lead Agency determines that the subject transaction(s)is linked to a Business Card issued to the Business Account, the Lead Agency will provide the Business Account with the card serial number linked to the requested transaction(s). The Business Account agrees that it will use such card serial number information only for purposes of enforcing its Rules of Use or other lawful business purposes. The Business Account must maintain its own records if it wishes to identify the card serial number issued to an individual. 10.0 PUBLIC RECORDS The Business Account understands and agrees that all records related to its participation in the ORCA System are public records under the Washington Public Records Act(Chapter 42.56 RCW)("AcY'), including but not limited to: (a)this Agreement and the sales activity hereunder; (b)the orders, communications, and any other information provided by the Business Account to the Lead Agency, the other Agencies or the ORCA System, whether provided via this website or otherwise and whether provided in hard copy or electronic form; (c)any communications, responses, requests, reports or information of any kind provided to the Business Account from the Lead Agency, the other Agencies or the ORCA System; and (d)all data, reports and information of any kind related to the loading of products on, and the use of,the Business Cards issued to the Business Account. As public records, these records will be made available for public inspection and copying upon request, unless the Lead Agency determines they are exempt from disclosure. 11.0 INDIVIDUAL USE OF BUSINESS CARD AFTER LEAVING A BUSINESS ACCOUNT The Business Account is encouraged to collect Business Cards from Cardholders who are no longer eligible for the Business AccounYs transportation benefits program. In any case, the Business Account is solely responsible for initiating a Card Block or Product Block in accordance with this Agreement to prevent any continued use of, and financial liability for, a card that had been distributed to a person who is no longer eligible. 12.0 ORCA SERVICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE The Agencies seek to continually improve and enhance the ORCA Services. With thousands of employers, schools, and other entities entering into business account agreements at varying dates in the year, the Agencies are unable to guarantee to each business account that the ORCA Services will not change during the term of its agreement. The Business Account understands and agrees that one or more ORCA Services may be changed, suspended or terminated from time to time without prior notice to, or agreement by, the Business Account, including but not limited to changes in the look, feel, content and functions of the Business Account Website.

In the event of such a termination for convenience and not cause, the amounts due under this Agreement shall be calculated by the Lead Agency.

I agree that I will not sell or transfer my assigned ORCA Card to another person. If I violate these terms of use, my ORCA Card may be blocked from further use. 2. I will keep my assigned ORCA Business Card secure and in good condition, and I will immediately report a lost, stolen, or damaged ORCA Business Card to my company's Transportation Coordinator. I understand an ORCA Business Card will be replaced at the fee charged by my company. 3. I will return my assigned ORCA Business Card upon request or when I leave my employment or otherwise do not meet the eligibility requirements of my company. If I do not return my ORCA Business Card, I understand that it may be blocked for further use. 4. I understand that my ORCA Business Card is valid for the following provided by the listed transportation Agencies. a. 100% of fares on regularly scheduled transportation service on Everett Transit, Community Transit, Kitsap Transit, Metro Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, Seattle Streetcar, King County Water Taxi, and Kitsap Transit Foot Ferry. b. 100% of vanpool and vanshare fares on vanpool services provided by Community Transit, Kitsap Transit, Metro Transit, and Pierce Transit. 5.
