SCHEDULE 2-College Board's College and Career Readiness Educational Services

With the Covered Assessments, College Board shall provide the following educational services to help students navigate post-secondary and career pathways and to help K-12 educators and counselors serve their students' needs (collectively, "Educational Services").

"App" refers to a College Board mobile application, BigFuture® School, that students, age 13 and older, can download from the App Store to access Educational Services. The App is only available for students taking the SAT School Day, PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10. "BigFuture School" as used herein refers to the Educational Services provided on the App (including in-App notifications if the student elects to turn on those notifications) and potential other channels such as through a website portal exclusively for the Educational Services.

SCORE INFORMATION: In BigFuture School, students may access their scores and other score information (collectively, "Score Information") for College Board assessments including scores received by students on Covered Assessments.

RECOMMENDATIONS: In BigFuture School, College Board may provide students with educational information and recommendations about college and career options including, for example, AP Potential, postsecondary options and opportunities, career pathways, scholarships, National Recognition Program potential eligibility, financial aid and paying for college information, and opportunities to participate in College Board research studies (collectively, "Recommendations"). In providing and customizing Recommendations, College Board may use student information collected in connection with Covered Assessments and through students' use of Educational Services. In the Recommendations, College Board may include third-party links to other sites that are not operated by us, including colleges, universities, scholarship organizations, and career information sites. College Board is not responsible for the content or operation of other websites, and links to other websites are not intended to imply endorsement of them by College Board.

CONNECTIONS*: Connections is a College Board program through which students are provided information about non-profit colleges, universities, scholarship organizations and other nonprofit educational organizations ("Eligible Institutions") and may receive preliminary offers of admission from nonprofit colleges and universities ("Participating Colleges") based on criteria provided by those Eligible Institutions and Participating Colleges, which may include student interests, demographics, students' use of Educational Services, and other information collected by College Board during Covered Assessment(s) for which the student opts-in to Connections ("Messages"). The students' interests and preferences, such as through user controls within the App, through engagement in BigFuture School, and any updates students make to their information in their use of Educational Services may also influence and personalize the students' experiences within BigFuture School and the content of Messages. For Messages from Eligible Institutions, assessment score ranges the student received on past and future SAT, AP, PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT10 assessments may be used. For Messages with preliminary offers of admission from Participating Colleges, assessment score ranges the student received on past and future SAT assessments may be used, and race and ethnicity will not be used. College Board never shares students' personally identifiable information with Eligible Institutions or Participating Colleges as part of Connections.

Connections is entirely optional, and students must affirmatively opt-in and agree to College Board's use of their information as described above for Connections if they wish to participate. Unless you direct College Board to exclude your students from Connections (as further described below), students can opt-in during Covered Assessments or in the App and may be able to do so through other channels. Students can opt-out any time, as described more fully below.

Opted-in students may receive Messages from Eligible Institutions and Participating Colleges in the App (including in-App notifications if the student elects to turn on those notifications), by hard copy mail, and by email, subject to the student providing their home address, email, and/or downloads the mobile application, all of which data elements are optional. Eligible Institutions do not know the identity of a student to which they have been matched unless and until the student chooses to provide their personal information directly to the Eligible Institution, which the student can only do outside of the App and outside of the Educational Services. A student may be able to link from the App, email, or QR code in a mailing to further content within BigFuture School or to an external webpage or webform hosted by that Eligible Institution or Participating College. Messages from Participating Colleges with a preliminary offer of admission will include a school-specific website link through which the student may share their information directly with the Participating College, after which the Participating College may inform the student about any next steps to enroll as well as to be considered for any financial aid.

College Board may track students access to such links/webpages for purposes of reporting and analytics, but College Board will not disclose such information to Eligible Institutions or Participating Colleges other than in de-identified and aggregated form.

Messages are created by Eligible Institutions and Participating Colleges and may include text, images, videos, and interactive elements. While the Messages may be personalized by College Board (e.g., student name at the top of an email) through automated means, College Board does not create, edit, or approve of Messages and is not responsible for Messages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, College Board may send a communication to the student alerting them that Message(s) are forthcoming and/or available in BigFuture School for them to access.

For students who receive a preliminary offer of admission in a Message, there is no guarantee of admission, scholarships, or financial aid and it may require them to complete additional steps to accept the offer as defined by the Participating College(s). The Participating College(s) may also require confirmation of information it relied upon in making a preliminary offer of admission, such as requiring the student to submit their final transcript to complete the admissions process. Each Participating College makes the decision on preliminary offers of admission. College Board is not involved in any of the selection or decision making by the Participating College(s).

Students who choose to opt-in to Connections can opt out at any time, for any or all Covered Assessment(s). Students can also choose to remain in Connections for any or all Covered Assessment(s) but opt-out of individual communications channels (emails, hardcopy mailings, and in-App). Students have multiple ways to opt-out, including, an opt-out feature within the App, an unsubscribe option from Connections emails, opt-out instructions included in each mailing, and by contacting College Board's customer service.

*Not offered in New York at this time. There may be other exclusions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING EDUCATIONAL SERVICES:

There is no incremental cost for Educational Services.

College Board shall provide you with reporting on your students' use of Educational Services, with the content and cadence within College Board's sole discretion.

College Board collects certain information from students during Covered Assessments to ensure test validity and fairness, for identity matching, and the purposes described above under the "College Board Collection, Use and Disclosure of Data" section. College Board also uses that information in Educational Services, as described above, and to communicate with students about their Covered Assessment(s) and the Educational Services. For students who use the Educational Services, they may be able to update this information within the Educational Services, if they so choose. All questions are optional.

Questions include the following:

• Home/Mailing Address
• Email Address
• Race
• Ethnicity
• First Language
• Best Language
• GPA
• Intended College Major
• Level of Education Aspirations
• Parents' Level of Education

The following are only asked for the PSAT/NMSQT:

• Whether the student is enrolled in high school traditional or homeschooled
• Whether the student will complete or leave high school and enroll full-time in college
• How many total years the student will spend in grades 9-12
• Whether the student is a U.S. citizen (for students testing outside the United States)

To use the App, College Board will provide a secure method for the student to access and authenticate their identity using information collected about them in connection with the Covered Assessment(s) and Educational Services. This may include students providing a mobile number during the administration of the Covered Assessment with their phone number then being used to authenticate into the App. Students are encouraged to provide an email address solely for App account recovery purposes. By providing their mobile number, the student authorizes College Board to text them to download the app, authenticate into the App, and about their scores, including when their scores are available for Covered Assessments. College Board does not use mobile numbers collected during Covered Assessments for any other purposes. The foregoing is clearly explained to the student.

You may direct College Board to automatically exclude your students from Connections for one of more Covered Assessments by contacting College Board Customer Service at (866) 609-1369. You may visit collegeboard.org/connections-tc for more information about Connections and for access to an opt-out form. Your purchase confirmation email will include a link to collegeboard.org/connections-tc and the opt-out form.

• Opt-outs must be submitted before a deadline communicated by College Board for each assessment in order to suppress displaying the Connections opt-in to students during their testing experience for the Covered Assessment(s).
  • If a student had already opted-in to Connections before you opted-out of Connections for a Covered Assessment, (i) the student's data from Covered Assessment(s) for which you opted out of Connections will no longer be used for Connections upon College Board's implementation of your opt out; (ii) the student's data from any Covered Assessment(s) for which you chose not to opt-out of Connections may continue to be used for Connections and the student may still use the Connections feature within the App; and (iii) if you exclude your students from Connections for all Covered Assessments, use of the student data for Connections for those Covered Assessments will cease upon College Board's implementation of your opt out, the students will not receive any new Messages, and any previously delivered Messages may be still accessed by students.
• If You opt-out, scores the student received on Covered Assessment(s) may still be used for Connections as described above if the student opted-in to Connections through an agreement between College Board and their school, district, or state which has access to Covered Assessment score(s).
• In some instances, your district or state may have elected to opt-out your students and College Board will abide by that exclusion for your students.
• If you opt-out, you may revoke this opt-out election by contacting College Board at SAT Customer Service at 888-SAT-HELP, +1-212-520-8600 (International), or email [email protected].
• If you opt-out, your students will not going forward be able to opt-in to Connections for the Covered Assessment(s) for which you opted out of Connections.
• Upon opt-out, students will still be able to use BigFuture School to receive Score Information and Recommendations.

Students may have opportunities to link from BigFuture School to BigFuture® and to other college and career planning services on College Board's website, www.collegeboard.org. Those services are not part of Educational Services and do not use student data collected under the Covered Assessments which are the subject matter of this Agreement , the only exception being scores on College Board Covered Assessments, as all students have independent rights in their own test scores, as further acknowledged above. Students use BigFuture in their personal capacity and may need a personal College Board account to use certain features. Students with personal College Board accounts may also be able to access their scores through their personal accounts. Students may also have opportunities to copy data from their personal College Board accounts to Educational Services for use in Educational Services. Such data copies shall be considered part of Educational Services and those copies are subject to the same privacy rules as student data collected during Covered Assessments. collegeboard.org/privacycenter

You will pay College Board for all services performed, products furnished, and licenses granted, including any costs associated with the initial deployment of resources in preparation for providing the testing materials under this Agreement, through the effective date of any termination in accordance with invoices issued or to be issued by College Board.

Fees and Payment. You shall pay fees for the assessments and deliverables furnished during the 2023-24 implementation year. Payment terms are Net 30. If you are using federal funds to pay for all or a portion of the services furnished by College Board under this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that College Board shall not be categorized as a "subrecipient" receiving a federal award as defined by OMB Circular Subpart A.210(c) of Circular No. A-133.

Taxes. You agree to pay any sales, use, value added or other taxes or import duties (other than College Board's corporate income taxes) based on, or due as a result of, any fees paid to College Board under this Agreement, unless you are exempt from such taxes and has furnished College Board with a valid tax exemption certificate.

(iii) College Board Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, COLLEGE BOARD MAKES NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER AND PROVIDES THE SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES, AS APPLICABLE, ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. COLLEGE BOARD HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. COLLEGE BOARD DOES NOT WARRANT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES TO BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT ALL DEFICIENCIES OR ERRORS ARE CAPABLE OF BEING CORRECTED. FURTHERMORE, COLLEGE BOARD DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE RESULTS OBTAINED THEREFROM OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL SATISFY YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

Limitation of Liability. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TOTAL LIABILITY, IN THE AGGREGATE, OF COLLEGE BOARD AND ITS OFFICERS, TRUSTEES, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND COLLEGE BOARD'S SUBCONTRACTORS AND CONSULTANTS, AND ANY OF THEM, TO YOU AND ANYONE CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER YOU, FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, COSTS, OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE WORK PERFORMED BY COLLEGE BOARD PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT FROMANY CAUSE OR CAUSES, INCLUDED BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE NEGLIGENCE, PROFESSIONAL ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, STRICT LIABILITY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OF COLLEGE BOARD OR COLLEGE BOARD'S OFFICERS, TRUSTEES, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUBCONTRACTORS OR CONSULTANTS OR ANY OF THEM, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID TO COLLEGE BOARD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE SPECIFIC DELIVERABLE SUBJECT TO THE DAMAGES CLAIM.

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, THEIR AFFILIATES OR THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR THE LIKE), EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Force Majeure. A party may be excused from performance of an obligation under this Agreement in the event that such performance is prevented by an act of God, act of war, terrorism, riot, fire, explosion, flood, epidemic, pandemic, government action or inaction, curtailment of transportation facilities, weather event, labor strikes, environmental or other contamination, natural event or other circumstance (whether or not listed above) that is beyond the control of, and could not reasonably be avoided by, such party, whether or not the applicable event is foreseeable.

Your Testing Delays. Should an event occur that would require your school(s) to close for reasons beyond the reasonable control of such school(s) (for example, including, but not limited to, severe weather, extended power outages, or a teacher's strike) (a "Delay Event"), College Board will work with you and your school(s) to shift testing to an alternate administration, if available. College Board will not be liable if College Board's shipping vendor is unable to timely deliver any paper test materials (to the extent required) to the school(s) for an alternate administration or should a Delay Event otherwise prevent the school(s) from administering the assessment on the alternate administration in accordance with the policies set forth in the Designated Personnel's Guides. College Board will use its best reasonable efforts to support the change of testing window. College Board will assume any additional costs associated with rescheduling and delivering paper tests to participating schools impacted by a Delay Event up to one week prior to the alternate testing window. You will be liable for any additional fees associated with rush deliveries, publication reprints or incremental support incurred for deliveries within seven (7) days of an alternate testing window. College Board reserves the right to deny a change of testing window if, in its sole opinion, the additional work will endanger its vendors or its' employees, agents, consultants, or if you have failed to promptly inform College Board of the need for a testing window change in time to allow delivery of applicable paper test materials. No additional administration of the assessment will be made available after the final testing window. You understand that by selecting the final testing window as their main testing window, if there is a Delay Event, there are no additional test dates. In such cases, this Agreement remains in full force and effect and you will not be charged any unused test fees.

Governing Law and Choice of Forum. If permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the law of the State of New York without regard to choice or conflict of laws principles. To the extent permitted by law, any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or otherwise shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, New York State (or the Federal Court otherwise having territorial jurisdiction over such County and subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute); provided, however, that prior to the instigation of any such action (other than an action for equitable relief) a meeting shall be held at a mutually agreed upon location, attended by individuals with decision-making authority to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If within forty-five (45) days after such meeting the parties have not succeeded in resolving the dispute, either party may proceed at law, or in equity, in a court of competent jurisdiction. You agree not to demand a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim.

Publicity. Each party agrees to promptly inform the other party of all media inquiries prior to responding thereto and to permit the other party to review and approve prior to release any press releases regarding this Agreement.

Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or entity or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, then (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefore in order to carry out so far as may be a valid and enforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons, entities, or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Integration, Execution and Delivery.

No course of dealing between parties and no usage of trade shall be relevant to supplement any term used in this Agreement. Acceptance or acquiescence in a course of performance rendered under this Agreement shall not be relevant to determine the meaning of this Agreement and no waiver by a party of any right under this Agreement shall prejudice that party's exercise of that right in the future.
