========================================================================

PART 1: THE 4 MANDATORY ORDER-FORM REDLINE CLAUSES
(Instruct your vendor rep to paste these into the "Special Terms" box on
Page 1 of your Order Form so they supersede the standard MSA)

1. AUTO-RENEWAL NOTICE WINDOW REDUCTION (90 DAYS -> 15 DAYS):
"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, any automatic
renewal of this Order Form shall require Vendor to provide Customer with
written notice of renewal at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Renewal
Date, and Customer may elect not to renew by providing written notice (email
sufficient) at any time up to fifteen (15) days prior to the Renewal Date."

2. PRICE UPLIFT CAP (MAX 3% OR CPI):
"Price Protection: Unit pricing set forth in this Order Form shall remain
fixed for the Initial Term. For any subsequent Renewal Term, Vendor shall not
increase per-unit or base platform fees by more than the lesser of three
percent (3.0%) or the trailing 12-month US CPI-U index over the immediately
preceding term's net effective unit price."

3. SEAT RIGHT-SIZING / TRUE-DOWN PROTECTION (UP TO 20% REDUCTION):
"Right-Sizing & Price Hold Preservation: Upon any Renewal Term, Customer may
reduce contracted quantities or user seats by up to twenty percent (20%) while
retaining the exact discounted per-unit rate set forth on this Order Form,
without triggering list-price re-rating."

4. OVERAGE RATE PARITY (ZERO PENALTY MULTIPLIERS):
"Overage Rate Parity & Burst Buffer: Any usage, seats, hosts, or consumption
exceeding contracted commitments shall be billed strictly at the same
discounted per-unit rate specified in this Order Form (with zero penalty
multiplier), subject to a ten percent (10%) monthly burst grace buffer."
