Exhibit 2 

Professional Services Addendum

This Professional Services Addendum (“PSA”) applies solely to Professional Services and is subject to the terms of the Agreement.  This PSA does not apply to other Altium Products or services.  Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Agreement. 

1.Scope of Services.

1.1. Statements of Work and Professional Services. In accordance with the terms of this PSA, Altium will provide to You the Professional Services described in each statement of work that is mutually agreed by the Parties and references this PSA (each, a “Statement of Work” or “SOW”), including any work product, deliverables, technology or tangible results or output that are produced or developed by or with Altium (including those created for, jointly or in collaboration with You) and provided to You as specified in the applicable SOW (the “Deliverables”). From time to time during the Term, the parties may mutually identify additional Professional Services or Deliverables not covered by an existing SOW, and those additional Professional Services and Deliverables will be described in a Change Order to an existing SOW or in a new SOW. No SOW will be binding on the parties unless signed by an authorized representative of each party, at which time that SOW will be incorporated into and made part of the Agreement. Each SOW will be uniquely identified by a SOW name and date.

1.2. Provision of Professional Services. Except as otherwise specified in a SOW, Altium will determine the method, details, and means of performing Professional Services. 

1.3. Change Orders. You may request modifications that reasonably relate to the scope of Professional Services or Deliverables under a SOW (a “Change”) by delivering a written request to Altium specifying the desired Change. Altium has discretion to consider Changes, and if Altium elects to pursue the requested Change, Altium will submit a proposed written change order to You in the form set forth in the applicable SOW (“Change Order”) specifying the Change (including any associated changes to the Fees and the schedule for performance and delivery of the Professional Services and Deliverables). The parties will cooperate with each other in good faith in discussing the scope and nature of the proposed Change Order, the availability of Altium personnel, expertise and resources to perform the Change Order, and the time period in which the Change Order will be implemented. Neither party is obligated to proceed with any Change unless and until it is reflected in a Change Order that is mutually agreed by an authorized representative of each party. Change Orders executed by both parties are deemed to be incorporated into the Agreement. For clarification purposes, phone conversations and email exchanges between the parties’ representatives do not constitute a Change Order and are not official documentation of any change in the scope of Professional Services, Deliverables, or other terms set forth in a SOW.

1.4. Your Responsibilities. You will perform Your responsibilities as described in the Agreement, including this PSA and in each applicable SOW. Altium will not be liable for any delay in performance of the Professional Services or any breach of the Agreement or the relevant SOW to the extent the delay or breach results from, or is attributable to, delay or failure on the part of You in performing Your obligations or responsibilities.

1.5. External Materials. Altium shall have no liability with respect to any non-conformity of any third-party or Your materials, technology or services not provided by Altium (together, “External Materials”). For example, You may not withhold payment for Professional Services or any Deliverable due to delays or shortcomings of third-party providers or External Materials, even if the External Materials are required for You to use Deliverables or receive the benefit of the Professional Services. Altium’s sole obligation with respect to any deficiency or defect in External Materials is to promptly report any relevant and material issues Altium becomes aware of to You. You shall then arrange for correction or replacement of External Materials with conforming materials from an alternative source, unless otherwise agreed in a Change Order. Altium will only investigate, validate, correct or replace External Materials if the Parties have mutually agreed to additional fees for Altium’s performance of those additional services in a Change Order or SOW.  You hereby grant to Altium and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the External Materials as necessary for Altium’s performance of the Professional Services.

2. Intellectual Property.

2.1. Ownership.  Except as otherwise stated in the Agreement or this PSA, all right, title and interest in and to the Professional Services and Deliverables, and all Intellectual Property rights embodied therein, including techniques, knowledge or processes of the Professional Services or Deliverables (whether or not developed for You), shall be solely and exclusively owned by Altium, and to the extent You acquire any such right, title or interest, You hereby assign to Altium all such right, title and interest.  Where such assignment is not permitted or enforceable under applicable Laws, You hereby grant Altium an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and transferable license (with the right to sublicense) to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, and commercialize such right, title and interest for any purpose. 

2.2. License. Upon Your payment of all amounts due under the SOW under which the Deliverables are to be produced and delivered to You, subject to Your compliance with the Agreement, You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license for the duration of the term of Your license or subscription to the Altium Product for which the Professional Services are being provided to You to use any Deliverables provided to You by Altium for Your internal business purposes, and to otherwise use the relevant Altium Product as permitted by the Agreement. 

2.3. Custom Works.  From time to time, as part of the Professional Services, Altium may be engaged to develop certain Deliverables which are specific to Your specifications or requirements and which are designated as “Custom Works” in the relevant SOW (“Custom Works”). “Custom Works” do not include tools of general application or ideas, concepts, know-how, methods, techniques or skills developed, gained or learned by Altium or any Intellectual Property therein, or any Intellectual Property existing as of the effective date of the applicable SOW or otherwise arising outside of the Professional Services (including Altium Products), which will be deemed part of the license granted under Section 2.2 above if they are made available to you in connection with the Professional Services. If Custom Works are set forth in a SOW, one of the following ownership models will apply to such Custom Works as specifically designated in the SOW. If no model has been designated in the SOW, the “Perpetual License” model will apply. 

a. Customer Ownership Model. Upon full payment of the fees payable by You for the Professional Services and Custom Works, the applicable Custom Works shall be owned by You and Altium will assign such Custom Works to You, subject to You granting Altium and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free license during the term of the applicable SOW to use the Custom Works as necessary to perform the Professional Services and other obligations owed to You.  

b. Perpetual License Model.  The applicable Custom Works shall be solely and exclusively owned by Altium, subject to Altium granting You, upon Your payment of all amounts owed for the Professional Services and Custom Works, a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use such Custom Works.

2.4. Residuals.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this PSA, Altium and its Affiliates will be free to use its general knowledge, skills and experience, and any ideas, concepts, know-how, methodologies, and techniques that it acquires or uses in the course of providing the Professional Services for any purpose.  In no event will Altium or its Affiliates be precluded from developing for itself, or for others, items that are competitive with the Deliverables, irrespective of their similarity to the Deliverables.  

3. Fees.  

3.1. Invoicing and Payment. You will pay Altium the Fees set forth in each SOW in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, including with respect to taxes.

3.2. Expenses. Unless otherwise set forth in the SOW, You will reimburse Altium for its actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred directly in connection with the Professional Services; provided, however, that You will reimburse Altium for travel expenses at cost plus 20%. Altium will separately invoice You for out-of-pocket expenses and travel expenses. 

4. Additional Termination Rights.

4.1. Termination for Convenience. In addition to the parties’ termination rights set forth in Section 9 of the MSA, either party may terminate any Statement of Work upon at least 90 days’ prior written notice.

4.2. Effect of Termination. In addition to any effects of termination or expiration set forth in the Agreement, upon termination or expiration of any SOW, Altium will promptly cease providing the affected Professional Services. Termination of any SOW will not affect Your obligation to pay to Altium Fees due for Professional Services rendered prior to termination. Within seven days after Altium’s receipt of Your payment of the relevant Fees under the applicable SOW, Altium shall deliver to You all Deliverables then in progress under that SOW.

4.3. Survival. The terms of Sections 2, 3, 4.2, 4.3 and 6 of this PSA will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement or any SOW. 

5. Additional Warranties.  The following representations and warranties are in addition to and subject to Section 10 of the MSA.

5.1. Warranties. Each party represents and warrants that it has the right to execute and perform its obligations under this PSA. Altium represents and warrants to You that Altium will perform the Professional Services using commercially reasonable care and skill and as described in the applicable SOW. You represent and warrant to Altium that You (A) are the lawful owner or licensee of any External Materials provided to Altium for the performance of Professional Services and (B) have the right to permit Altium’s access to, or use of, such External Materials. 

6. Indemnification.

6.1. By Altium.

a. Indemnity. Altium will defend You and Your officers, directors, and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”)  from and against any third-party claim that the Professional Services or any Deliverable (as provided by Altium) directly infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property rights of a third-party (a “Claim”), provided that (i) Your use of the Professional Services and Deliverables is in compliance with the Agreement and (ii) You provide Altium with prompt written notice of all allegations of such Claim.  Altium will indemnify You against all damages finally awarded against You (or the amount of any settlement Altium enters into) with respect to any Claims.  

b. Resolution of Claims. In the event of a  Claim or if Altium believes a Claim is likely, Altium may, at its option and at no expense to You, and in addition to Altium’s obligations in Section 7.1(a), (1) obtain for You, by license or other release from the  Claim, the right to continue to use the Professional Services or Deliverable in accordance with this PSA, (2) provide You with a substitute, functionally equivalent and non-infringing version of the Professional Service or Deliverable, or (3) modify the Professional Service or Deliverable to make it non-infringing and functionally equivalent in all material respects. If, despite the exercise of prompt and commercially reasonable efforts (in the context of revenues retained by Altium under any SOW), Altium is unable to accomplish any of options (1), (2) or (3) above, then Altium may terminate any SOW by providing You with at least 30 days’ prior written notice.

c. Limitations and Restrictions. Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a), Altium will have no obligation to defend or indemnify You or any Indemnified Party for any Claim to the extent it arises out of or results from: (1) Your instructions, specifications or requirements, or any other industry-adopted specification or standard, including any de facto industry standard, regardless of whether such specification or standard has been formally issued, adopted, or promulgated by a recognized standards-setting organization or industry consortium (“Specifications”) or Altium’s compliance with such Specifications; (2) External Materials; (3) Your use of the Professional Services or Deliverables in combination with any product or service not provided to You by Altium or with which they were not intended to be combined; (4) the modification of or addition to (or attempted modification of or addition to) any Professional Services or Deliverables by anyone other than Altium or on Altium’s behalf, or the use of such modification of or addition to any Professional Services or Deliverables; (5) modifications or additions made to the Professional Services or Deliverables by Altium or any third-party at the request of You or to the Specifications; (6) the use of the Professional Services or Deliverables other than in compliance with applicable specifications or the rights granted under this PSA; (7) Your use of any Third Party Services, including any breach of any Third Party Terms; (8) Your Data, or (9) Your gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. You will take reasonable actions to mitigate damages for which Altium is obligated to indemnify You or any Indemnified Party. 

6.2. By You. You will defend the Altium Indemnitees from and against any third-party claim resulting from any External Materials provided by You, or Altium’s use thereof.  You will indemnify the Altium Indemnitees against all damages awarded against the Altium Indemnitees (or the amount of any settlement any Altium Indemnitee enters into) with respect to such claims.

6.3. Procedure. All claims made by a Party under this Section 6 shall be made in accordance with Section ‎11.3 of the MSA.  The provisions of this Section ‎6 state the sole, exclusive, and entire liability of the Parties to the other Party, and is the other Party’s sole remedy, with respect to covered third party claims.
