### Google Cloud Platform Agreement

By using the Services, the Customer agrees to these Terms of Services. The Services are
provided by Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (Co. Reg. No. 200817984R), with offices at 70 Pasir
Panjang Road, #03- 71, Mapletree Business City II, Singapore 117371 ("Google").

These Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service ("ToS") are pursuant to the Agreement entered
into by Google Cloud India Private Limited ("GCI") and the person agreeing to these terms
("Customer") and is effective as of the date Customer clicks to accept the Agreement
(the "Effective Date"). This ToS governs Customer's access to and use of the Services.

If you are accepting on behalf of Customer, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full
legal authority to bind your employer, or the applicable entity, to these terms and
conditions; (ii) you have read and understand this ToS; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of the
party that you represent, to this ToS. Capitalized terms not defined in this ToS have the
meanings given to those terms in the Agreement.

1. Provision of Services.

1.1 Services Use. During the Term, Google will provide the Services in accordance
with the ToS, including the SLAs, and Customer may use the Services, and integrate the
Services into any Application that has material value independent of the Services, in
accordance with the ToS.

1.2 Admin Console. Customer will have access to the Admin Console, through which
Customer may manage its use of the Services.

1.3 Modifications.

(a) To the Services. Google may make commercially reasonable updates to the
Services from time to time. Google will inform Customer if Google makes a material change
to the Services that has a material impact on Customer's use of the Services.

(b) To the ToS. Google may make changes to this ToS (and any linked documents) from
time to time. Unless otherwise noted by Google, material changes to the ToS will become
effective 30 days after they are posted, except to the extent the changes apply to new
functionality in which case they will be effective immediately. Google will provide at
least 90 days' advance notice for materially adverse changes to any SLAs by either: (i)
sending an email to the Notification Email Address (ii) posting a notice in the Admin
Console; or (iii) posting a notice to the applicable SLA webpage. If a Customer does not
agree to the revised ToS, Customer may stop using the Services. This ToS is coterminous
along with the agreement. Customer may also terminate this ToS for convenience under
Section 8.4 (Termination for Convenience). Customer's continued use of the Services after
such material change will constitute Customer's consent to such changes. Google will post
any modification to this ToS to https://cloud.google.com/terms.

(c) To the Data Processing and Security Terms. Google may only change the Data
Processing and Security Terms where such change is required to comply with applicable law,
applicable regulation, court order, or guidance issued by a governmental regulator or
agency, where such change is expressly permitted by the Data Processing and Security Terms,
or where such change:

(i) is commercially reasonable;

(ii) does not result in a degradation of the overall security of the Services;

(iii) does not expand the scope of or remove any restrictions on Google's processing of
Customer Personal Data, as described in Section 5.2 (Scope of Processing) of the Data
Processing and Security Terms; and

(iv) does not otherwise have a material adverse impact on Customer's rights under the Data
Processing and Security Terms.

If Google makes a material change to the Data Processing and Security Terms in accordance
with this Section, Google will post the modification to the URL containing those terms.

(d) Discontinuation of Services. Google will notify Customer at least 12 months
before discontinuing any Service (or associated material functionality) unless Google
replaces such discontinued Service or functionality with a materially similar Service or
functionality. Further, Google will notify Customer at least 12 months before significantly
modifying a Customer-facing Google API in a backwards-compatible manner. Nothing in this
Section 1.4(d) (Discontinuation of Services) limits Google’s ability to make changes
required to comply with applicable law, address a material security risk, or to avoid a
substantial economic or material technical burden. This Section 1.4(d) (Discontinuation of
Services) does not apply to pre-general availability Services, offerings, or functionality.

1.4 Software. Google may make Software available to Customer, including third-party
software. Customer shall be allowed to use the Software solely in connection with Customer's
use of the Services. Some Software may be subject to third party license terms, which
Customer shall abide by. In the event of a conflict between this Services Schedule and any
third party license terms, the third party license terms will prevail with respect to such
third party Software.

Google Cloud India Private Limited with its registered office located at Unit No-204,
Signature Tower-II, Tower-A, 2nd Floor, Sector-15, Part II, Silokhera, Gurgaon-122001 India
("GCI") and the entity with a billing address in India, agreeing to these terms ("Customer").

GCI is appointed by Google Asia Pacific Pte Ltd ("Google"), as a non-exclusive reseller of the
Services (as defined below) in India. This Agreement is effective when Customer clicks to
accept it (the "Effective Date"). If you are accepting on behalf of Customer, you represent
and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind Customer to this Agreement; (ii)
you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of Customer, to
this Agreement.

**This Agreement sets out all terms agreed between the parties and supersedes all other
agreements between the parties relating to its subject matter.**

1. The Services.

1.1 GCI sells the Services to the Customer in India. The Customer agrees that its use of
the Services is subject to this Agreement and Google's Terms of Services located at
https://cloud.google.com/terms/ ("ToS"). Capitalized terms used but
not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning attributed to them in the ToS.

1.2 Accounts. Customer must have an Account to use the Services, and is responsible
for the information it provides to create the Account, the security of its passwords for
the Account, and for any use of its Account. GCI has no obligation to provide multiple
accounts to Customer.

1.3 Modifications.

(a) To the Agreement. GCI may make commercially reasonable changes to this
Agreement, including pricing (and any linked documents) from time to time. Unless otherwise
noted by GCI, material changes to the Agreement will become effective 30 days after they are
posted, except to the extent the changes apply to new functionality in which case they will
be effective immediately. GCI will provide at least 90 days' advance notice for materially
adverse changes to any SLAs by (i) sending an email to the Notification Email Address
(ii) posting a notice in the Admin Console; or (iii) posting a notice to the applicable SLA
webpage. If a Customer does not agree to the revised Agreement, please stop using the
Services. Customer may also terminate this Agreement for convenience under Section 8.4
(Termination for Convenience). Customer's continued use of the Services after such material
change will constitute Customer's consent to such changes.

2. Payment Terms.

2.1 Online Billing. At the end of the applicable Fee Accrual Period or as otherwise
stated by GCI in the Admin Console, GCI will issue an electronic bill to Customer for all
charges based on Customer's use of the Services during the applicable Fee Accrual Period
(including, if any, the relevant Fee for TSS stated in the Fees definition below). Customer
will pay all Fees in the currency stated in the invoice. If Customer elects to pay by
credit card, debit card, or other non-invoiced form of payment, GCI will charge
(and Customer will pay) all Fees immediately at the end of the Fee Accrual Period. If
Customer elects to pay by invoice (and GCI agrees), all Fees are due as stated in the
invoice. Customer's obligation to pay all Fees is non-cancellable. GCI's measurement of
Customer's use of the Services is final. GCI has no obligation to provide multiple bills.
Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by GCI.

2.2 Taxes.

(a) In consideration of services, Customer agrees to pay to GCI, the Fees as mentioned
above plus applicable Taxes. If GCI is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be
invoiced to Customer, unless Customer provides GCI with a timely and valid tax exemption
certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

(b) If required under applicable law, Customer will provide GCI with applicable tax
identification information (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number ("GSTIN"),
location where the services would be received by the customer, tax status etc.) that GCI may
require to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations in India. The Customer
acknowledges that all the details provided such as the GSTIN, location where the services
would be received by the customer, tax status etc. are correct. The address and GSTIN
provided are of the location where the services would be received by the Customer. Customer
will be liable to pay (or reimburse GCI for) any taxes, interest, penalties or fines arising
out of any mis-declaration by the Customer.

(c) If Customer is required by law to withhold any amounts for Income Tax on its payments
to GCI, Customer must provide GCI in a timely manner with a withholding tax certificate or
other appropriate documentation to support such withholding as per the applicable tax laws
in India.

2.3 Invoice Disputes & Refunds. Any invoice disputes must be submitted before the
payment due date. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are
attributable to GCI, GCI will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit
memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If the disputed invoice has
not yet been paid, GCI will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and
Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless
claimed within 60 days after the invoice date. Refunds (if any) are at GCI'S discretion and
will only be in the form of credit for the Services. Nothing in this Agreement obligates GCI
to extend credit to any party.

2.4 Delinquent Payments; Suspension. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of
1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date
until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by GCI in collecting such delinquent amounts. If
Customer is late on payment for the Services, GCI may Suspend the Services and / or
terminate the Agreement for breach under Section 8.2 (Termination for Breach).

2.5 No Purchase Order Number Required. Customer is obligated to pay all applicable
Fees without any requirement for GCI to provide a purchase order number on GCI's invoice
(or otherwise).

the Services complies with the Agreement, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent
and terminate any unauthorized use of, or access to, the Services, and (c) promptly notify

through Google may Suspend all or part of Customer's use of the Services until the violation
is corrected.
