a. Products at the Dealership. Dealer will promptly install Updates made available by Bobcat to all Products in Dealer's possession or control, or permit Bobcat to automatically install Updates. Further, Dealer will permit network providers to remotely update network information for those Products with internet-connected functionality, as applicable. If Products with internet-connected functionality do not have an adequate internet connection, or if the internet-connected functionality is disrupted, Dealer may not receive applicable Updates and therefore the Products may not work properly if Updates are not installed. In the event Dealer does not promptly install Updates made available by Bobcat, or in the event Bobcat is unable to Update the Software due to inadequate internet access to the Product (as applicable), then Dealer agrees to hold Bobcat and its Representatives harmless from all Claims and Losses arising related to the Products and Software that would have been avoided had the Software been Updated.
b. Cooperation Providing Updates. In the event Bobcat requires delivering an Update to any End User to whom Dealer has sold a Product to or to any End User located in the Dealer's APR or trade area, Dealer will (1) work in good faith with Bobcat to locate and contact each applicable End User, and (2) help Bobcat deliver the Update to each such End User.
6. Additional Hardware. In the event an Update or any On Demand Software requires the purchase of additional hardware or other materials, the cost of such hardware or other materials shall be borne solely by Dealer.
7. Termination for Cause. Bobcat may terminate this EULA upon Dealer's failure to cure a material breach of this EULA if Dealer fails to cure such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date that written notice of such material breach is sent by Bobcat. The license and all use rights granted in Section 2 of this EULA shall immediately terminate upon the termination of this EULA. For clarification purposes, if Bobcat terminates this EULA for cause, Bobcat is entitled to terminate the Dealer Agreement for cause pursuant to the terms therein. Dealer must immediately stop using the Products and Software at termination of this EULA.
8. Effect of Termination of the Dealer Agreement. The required pass-through terms and conditions for End Users are set forth in the Dealer Agreement.

Each executed and acknowledged Customer EULA and Privacy Statement must be promptly provided to Bobcat.
9. Audit. Upon Bobcat's request, Bobcat, or a third-party on Bobcat's behalf, may audit Dealer's compliance with the terms of this EULA at a time that minimizes business interruptions to Dealer.
