WARRANTY AND INDEMNITY

4.3

Exceptions to Infringement Indemnity.   Redi2 shall have no liability for any claim of infringement to the extent arising out of (a) use of a superseded or altered release of Programs if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Programs which Redi2 provides to Company at least 30 days prior to the date of any alleged infringement; (b) Company’s use of the Program for any purpose other than that specified under this Agreement; and (c) any aspect of the Program developed by Redi2 pursuant to Company’s specific instructions if such aspect could not be fulfilled in a non-infringing manner.

Invoicing and Payment. All fees shall be payable in accord with payment provisions specified in the Exhibits that describe Programs or Services and shall be deemed overdue if such fees remain unpaid after the applicable due date for any such fees.

AssetMark Implementation Introduction: Project Scope and Objectives

 

AssetMark is a leader in the wealth management and managed accounts industry. Through AssetMark’s platform, wealth managers and financial advisors are empowered to offer world-class advice and asset management services to clients throughout the US. As of today, AssetMark services over 300 broker-dealers and independent RIAs, and collectively these firms deliver financial advisory services to over 400,000 investment accounts up approximately $100B in AUM. AssetMark is growing rapidly and is looking to streamline and scale its billing operations to gain operational efficiencies and reduce its overall risk.

 

The goal of this document is to capture and describe the efforts required by Redi2 Technologies to configure an instance of Redi2 Wealth Manager (WM) for AssetMark as well as to develop and deliver the priority 1 development items described in the Implementation Services Proposal (ISP). For additional details concerning this effort, please reference the Business Requirements Documentation (BRD) and Implementation Services Proposal (ISP).

 

For reference, the ISP has been attached to this agreement as Attachment 1.

Efforts towards this SOW began March 16, 2022, with an anticipated completion date of [***]. This date is dependent on project deliverables by both Redi2 and AssetMark. The finalized project milestone dates shall be set forth in the agreed upon initial project plan.

 

AssetMark Implementation Configuration Requirements (technical)

 

Base Implementation: True to its name, the Base Implementation is a required effort and covers the tasks needed to onboard AssetMark onto Redi2 Wealth Manager. Unless called out otherwise, these are estimated efforts based on our discovery effort and subsequent project discussions. At a high level, we summarize these tasks in the following steps:

 

Environments and Hosted Ops: This effort involves the procurement and base software configuration of the UAT and PROD environments.

 

UAT Software Configuration: A collaborative effort between our implementation team and AssetMark subject matter experts (SMEs) to determine the optimal way to configure your book of business on WM and set up this configuration.  

 

UAT Data Conversion: This phase of the onboarding process loads the account, fee schedule and position/transaction data into the UAT environment in preparation for running mock billing cycles.

 

Training: Preparation of material and training sessions for end-users on the WM application and workflows to support the billing process.

 

User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Redi2 support of the user acceptance testing effort.

 

Go-Live: This effort involves the preparation, configuration of the production environment as well as support of the production parallel effort until the cut-over to using WM in its entirety.

In accordance with the ISP, the breakdown of estimated hours for the Base Implementation is as follows:

[***]

Client Required Development: This is the effort of our engineering team to develop the enhancements identified and specified in the ISP. Please note that all the development items are specified at a fixed cost based on the discovery process and subsequent BRD. Any changes subsequently could lead to a formal change to scope/schedule and could modify the efforts and/or price.

Redi2 will respond to Incidents according to the definitions set forth below and in Exhibit G, or as mutually agreed upon response time.  

An Incident shall be reported by Company as set forth in Exhibit G. Redi2's obligation with any reported Incident is to diagnose the Incident, evaluate alternatives and implement a fix or workaround.  A permanent fix to the Programs can, at Redi2's option, follow in accordance with Redi2's standard software release process, a maintenance release, or an “Emergency Bug Fix” or “EBF”.

If Redi2 cannot correct an Incident within the specified timeframe set forth below, Redi2 will report the need for an extension to Company, prior to the expiration of the stated timeframe.  Redi2 and Company will mutually agree on an extension.  Company approval of an extension shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Company may also request that Redi2 work within a shorter time period than stated below due to important business needs.  Redi2 will use all reasonable efforts to comply, notwithstanding other Incidents reported.  Where multiple Incidents may be reported, the parties may agree that combining and/or prioritizing Incidents is more suitable to a resolution.  The parties may mutually agree on such an action.

Redi2’s Commitment

 

Redi2 measures its success by the success of each client’s Wealth Manager implementation and ongoing use. It is our responsibility to ensure that production installation meets clients’ needs and expectations. To provide this level of quality, the Redi2 Support Desk commits to:

 

Providing prompt and accurate assistance –Our experienced Product Support team becomes an extension of our clients’ finance systems and billing operations teams. Our Product Support and Hosted Operations teams assist with billing-related topics and associated technical matters with our clients’ certified technical contacts. The Redi2 support staff will resolve each incident according to the incident priority assigned. Once an incident is marked resolved, Redi2 support staff strive to identify its cause and initiate corrective action to avoid similar incidents. Redi2 views each incident as an opportunity and an obligation to improve the quality of our product, service, documentation, and training. Redi2 performs postmortem on incidents to identify the following:

 

Root cause analysis as to how the incident occurred

 

Remediation steps performed to resolve the incident

 

Preventative measures put in place to ensure this type of incident does not occur in the future

 

Recommended action such as documentation, training or any action related to product and service

 

 

Ensuring compatibility upward – Redi2’s software development life cycle (SDLC) uses Agile methodology with set iteration timelines, code reviews, and quality assurance before certifying each new version of Wealth Manager.

 

Optimizing financial operations – Redi2 Service Offerings supported by staff are foundational in optimizing business potential and minimizing costs through evaluation, measurement, and monitoring of the automation of financial operations.

 

Redi2’s Client Responsibility

 

 

GDSVF&H\7952370.6


 

 

Clients share in our quality commitment by:

 

Assigning appropriate staff to communicate with Redi2 – Clients designate one primary and one secondary technical contact.  The designated contacts are authorized to communicate with the Redi2 support staff regarding incidents. The purpose of this approach is to limit the number of individuals contacting the Redi2 Support Desk to those who are the most knowledgeable and experienced in Wealth Management. These contacts will work with their internal teams and Redi2 support staff to investigate and resolve each incident.

 

Adhering to Redi2 processes to resolve incidents – An incident is any customization, product enhancement, unexpected result, or general question. When an incident occurs, a clients’ certified contact must communicate to the Redi2 Support Desk via the Redi2’s Customer Portal at [***] or email at [***] to properly log the incident.

 

Providing reproducible and detailed problem descriptions – Redi2 can provide better and faster service when clients offer clear, step-by-step problem descriptions that allow our support staff to reproduce or verify the incident.

 

Validating defects - If Redi2 support staff determines an incident to result from a product defect, the Redi2 support staff will escalate the incident to Redi2 development for a resolution. The client’s certified contacts are responsible for validating the resolution and confirming that Wealth Manager is working as expected.

 

Custom Support Options

 

Because our support staff can offer you customized support to enhance your business, we have identified areas that are part of our standard support offering (Non-billable Support) and areas that go above and beyond our support offering to augment your staff assignments. (Billable Support or Service Request)

 

Non-Billable vs Billable Support (Service Request)

 

Redi2’s support staff is available to help you with any of your billing needs with our software.

Your Support agreement covers support for the following types of incidents:

 

[***]

The following items are considered billable items and are referred to as Service Requests. Service Requests are fee-based and not included in your standard support contract.  Any additional fees for the foregoing must be pre-approved by Company in writing.

 

[***].

Exhibit H

AssetMark, Inc.- Redi2 Wealth Manager™ Software Change Control and Release Process

 

This Exhibit to the Master Software License and Services Agreement is entered into by and between Redi2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Redi2”) and AssetMark, Inc.(“Company”) as of April 1, 2022, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth therein.  Defined terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Agreement.

 

Overview

 

Redi2 Technologies strives to develop and deliver software that is purpose built and free of defect. This exhibit describes Redi2’s software change control process and outlines Redi2's agile process with code management, code branch strategy, movement of code, and deployment within Wealth Manager

 

Scope

 

Redi2-Engineering follows the Agile Software Development process and typically releases software every two weeks. For change control purposes, installations to Production environments need a supporting change control process. This exhibit details the software change control process that is followed

 

Source Code Management and Versioning

 

Redi2-Engineering uses source code management to track a collection of files and folders. Any time a change is made to a file or folder, these changes are committed to the repository, which in turn, creates a new revision in the repository reflecting these changes.

Release candidates and code branching strategy

 

Redi2-Engineering follows the Agile Software Development process and typically releases software every two weeks.

 

Once a development iteration is completed, the source code is branched into its branch area. This serves to "freeze" as well as to classify an Engineering certified codebase in versions for further use, which may include:

 

 

Engineering integration testing on an integration environment

 

QA testing on an internal QA environment

 

Performance testing on an internal performance environment

 

UAT testing on a client UAT environment

 

Production install once all testing phases are completed

 

The source code branch, once cut, becomes a release candidate and is potentially releasable to any of the environments mentioned above.

 

Defects found during any testing phase are always:

 

 

Fixed in the corresponding branch of the said release candidate, and

 

Merged into the trunk/head (i.e., regular development area) SVN area, such fixes are available in a future branch.

 

Software package naming and versioning

 

Redi2-Engineering follows a very well-defined, structured, and internally standardized software package versioning strategy; a standardized versioning strategy helps to:

 

 

GDSVF&H\7952370.6


 

 

 

 

Identify critical release candidate information by simply looking at the name of a release candidate package name

 

Remove any ambiguity about release candidate package

 

Streamline intra-team communication when discussing a release candidate

 

Streamline reference documentation, e.g., defect tracking systems, release notes, etc.

 

Redi2 follows the following naming convention to name and version release candidates:-
