FORM OF CONSULTING AGREEMENT

MASTER AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTING SERVICES

(Individual)

This Master Agreement for Consulting Services ("Master Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of the 1^st day of August, 2016 ("Effective Date") by and between Xxxxx Xxxxxx, an individual residing in the State of Texas at __________________________ ("Consultant"), and RealPage, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 ("Client"). Consultant and Client are hereinafter collectively called the "Parties".

1.    Scope and Content of Agreement

(a)    This Master Agreement sets forth the overall terms, conditions and agreements pursuant to which Consultant from time to time shall provide consulting services to Client (collectively, the "Services").

(b)    Consultant shall perform Services of an advisory and consultative nature as requested by Client from time to time on an as-needed basis in accordance with mutually agreed written Work Orders. From time to time the Parties may agree that Consultant shall perform Services with respect to a "Project" which, for purposes of this Master Agreement, means a separately identifiable and severable set of Services with respect to which the Parties have executed a "Work Order". A "Work Order" means (i) a written proposal by Consultant setting forth the Services which it proposes to perform for the benefit of the Client and which has been accepted by Client in the form presented to it (or if accepted with modification by Client, has also been accepted by Consultant), or (ii) a written statement by Client of the Services which it desires Consultant to perform and which has been accepted by Consultant in the form presented to it (or, if accepted with modification by Consultant, has also been accepted by Client). The Parties may mutually agree in writing to deem any engagement letter, request for proposal or other document produced by either Party to be a Work Order for a particular Project. Any Work Order may be changed only by a written "Project Change Order" signed by both Parties.

(c)    So long as this Master Agreement is in effect, it shall govern the performance of all Services and Projects. Thus, each and every Work Order and each and every Project Change Order shall be subject to and governed by this Master Service Agreement. With regard to each Project, this Master Agreement, together with (i) any attached exhibits or schedules (which are expressly incorporated herein by this reference); (ii) any written amendments to this Master Agreement which have been executed by the Parties; (iii) the Work Order, and (iv) any Project Change Orders (collectively, the "Documents") shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Master Agreement and any other Document, the terms of this Master Agreement shall control.

2.    Relationship of the Parties. The Parties represent and acknowledge that Consultant shall perform all Services hereunder as an independent contractor and that any and all work product and intellectual property created in the course of performing any Services shall be deemed to be a "work made for hire" pursuant to 17 U.S.C., Section 201(b) (the Copyright Act) and as such all such work shall be specially commissioned work belonging to Client.

Neither Party shall be deemed to be the legal representative of the other.

Unless provided to the contrary in any Work Order, only Consultant himself shall perform Services hereunder. Consultant shall not employ any sub-contractors unless such are expressly provided for in a Work Order signed by Client. In all instances where sub-contractors are used, Consultant agrees to assume complete responsibility for such sub-contractors with regard to all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and rules relating to employment of sub-contractors and shall require all such sub-contractors, as a condition of employment, to execute a Confidential Information and Invention Assignment.

Consultant also agrees to maintain comprehensive public liability and property damage insurance in amounts customarily maintained in Consultant's respective industry, insuring against liability for, among other things, bodily injury and property damage.

If any of the Services provided under this Master Agreement will be performed at Client's premises, Consultant shall conduct himself with decorum in a manner appropriate for a business environment. Consultant shall observe all of Client's security, drug, alcohol, firearms, and other site rules and regulations of which he has been given reasonable notice. Consultant is hereby given notice that Client has a policy of enforcing a drug free work environment, and Consultant agrees to fully comply with this policy. Client's premises shall be safe from unreasonable hazards and risks.

3.    Services. While the specific Services to be performed with respect to a Project will be defined in the applicable Work Order and any Project Change Orders, the following general provisions shall apply to all Work Orders and Services provided under this Master Agreement:

8

(a)    Each Work Order shall describe any Project in sufficient detail to ensure that the scope of Services is finite, definable and measurable and that the method of calculating Consultant's fee is clear and unambiguous. Consultant shall not commence performance of any Services until he/she shall be satisfied that such condition has been met. Consultant shall use his/her superior knowledge of the tasks and costs necessarily involved in projects of the type being undertaken to advise Client as to necessary inclusions in the Work Order. No additional Services or Fees shall be implied by reason of the Services expressly described in the Work Order.

(b)    Consultant shall provide the Services with a high degree of skill, quality and care.

(c)    Subject at all times and in all cases to the requirements of confidentiality set forth in Section 5 of this Master Agreement, Client acknowledges that Consultant may from time to time perform similar services for others, and that this Master Agreement shall not prevent Consultant from performing such services.

(d)    Unless expressly set forth in the Work Order as a function for the Project or Services, Consultant shall have no independent duty to detect or remediate any errors or other problems with respect to Client's business practices and procedures or Client's hardware, software or information technology systems. Consultant shall not be responsible for any damage or delay caused by such errors or problems. However, if during the course of providing Services, Consultant becomes aware of such a potential or existing error or other problem, Consultant shall use reasonable efforts to notify Client in writing of the error or problem.

(e)    Consultant shall deliver the Services for a Project in accordance with the delivery schedule contained in the Documents. Consultant will use reasonable care to notify Client of all anticipated delays.

(f)    Consultant represents and warrants to RealPage that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate, conflict with or otherwise result in the breach or violation of any of the terms and conditions of, result in a modification of the effect of or constitute (or with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute) a default under any instrument, contract or other agreement to which he/she is a party or by or to which he/she or any of his/her assets or properties is bound or subject, nor violate the intellectual or other property rights of any third party.

4.    Pricing and Payment for Services. The pricing and payment for all Services rendered by Consultant shall be governed by the following provisions:

(a)    For each Project, the Work Order shall specify the method of pricing of "Fees" (charges for Services provided), which shall be either: Actual Time and Materials ("Actual T&M"), Fixed Price ("Fixed Price") or other pricing methodologies, to be described in the applicable Work Order. Client shall make payment directly to Consultant, not to any sub-contractor Consultant.

(b)    Any estimates of cost or time made by Consultant, if made in a Document, shall be made in good faith and shall be binding on the Consultant, unless specific provision shall be made in the same Document for grace periods or percentages of permitted time and/or cost overruns or unless the Project is initially priced on a Fixed Fee basis.

(c)    [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(d)    All Fees for Actual T&M Projects shall be based on the schedule of rates, fees, rate classification and minimum hours ("Rates") set forth in the Work Order. Rates for a particular Project will be fixed for the duration of such Project, unless otherwise provided in the Work Order. For actual T&M Projects, the Work Order shall set forth a Maximum Fee, the amount of which Consultant shall not exceed without prior written approval of Client.

(e)    No expenses for overtime work (work in excess of 40 hours per calendar week) shall be incurred in connection with any Project unless the Documents shall expressly permit such, and then only to the extent permitted by the provisions of the Documents.

(f)    In addition to Fees, Client shall pay all "Reimbursable Expenses" and "Applicable Taxes" related to the Services provided by Consultant.

(i)    "Reimbursable Expenses" means all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Consultant in connection with the Services under this Master Agreement. Reimbursable Expenses shall include but are not limited to travel expenses, lodging and meals, long distance telephone and facsimile charges, photocopying, postage and delivery charges. All Reimbursable Expenses are subject to reasonable itemization and documentation. In order for an expense to be considered a Reimbursable Expense it must conform to the travel and lodging policies of the Client, which Client shall provide to Consultant from time to time during the Term hereof.

9

(ii)    "Applicable Taxes" means state and local sales or services taxes paid or incurred by Consultant with respect to the Fees, but excludes all other types of taxes, levies and assessments whatsoever, including taxes based on net income.

(g)    Unless otherwise set forth on the applicable "Work Order:

(i)    Consultant shall invoice Client on a monthly basis for all Fees, Reimbursable Expenses and Applicable Taxes. All invoices shall be paid within forty-five (45) days of the Client’s receipt of invoice. Invoices for Actual T&M shall be for the actual amounts incurred according to the "Work Order" then in effect and shall be payable in full without retainage. Fixed Price Projects shall be invoiced on a percentage of completion based on Consultant's good faith estimate of progress to the date of the invoice.

(ii)    Unless otherwise provided in the Documents, all invoices will be in U.S. dollars and all payments shall be made in U.S. dollars.

(iii)    Any undisputed invoice that is not paid within forty-five (45) days from the date of the invoice shall bear interest at the lesser of 10% per annum or the highest rate of interest allowed under applicable law. Consultant may suspend the performance of Services with regard to any Project pending payment of any undisputed, past due amounts then owing for work in regard to such Project. If a good faith dispute shall arise as to any amount to be paid by Client to Consultant with regard to a Project, Client and Consultant shall, within ninety (90) days from the date of the invoice, engage in good faith negotiations to resolve the dispute, if necessary, escalating the issue to senior management. At the end of such ninety (90) day period, if the dispute shall remain unresolved, the Client shall, for a period of ten (10) days, have the option of (i) making payment to Consultant "under protest", by giving written notice conspicuously setting forth the protest, without waiver or prejudice to its right to recover from Consultant any amounts finally determined not to be due and owing hereunder, or (ii) initiating appropriate declaratory proceedings. After such ten (10) day period, each Party may exercise all legal rights which it may then have (failure by Client to exercise either option during the ten (10) day period shall not be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy).

5.    Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Matters

(a)    Consultant shall treat all information about the Client's business as confidential, including, without limitation, information relating to Client's financial, technical, legal, strategic, and personnel affairs, where such information has been learned by Consultant as a result of his/her consulting relationship with Client ("Client Confidential Information"). Consultant will instruct his/her employees, agents and third parties engaged by Consultant in connection with the Services under this Master Agreement to keep such information confidential. Consultant will use Client Confidential Information solely for purposes of performing Projects. However, Consultant shall not be required to keep confidential any data, which is or becomes publicly available, other than as a result of breach by Consultant hereunder, is already in Consultant's possession, is independently developed by Consultant outside the scope of this Master Agreement or is rightfully obtained from third parties.

(b)    All Client Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of Client. All ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques developed by Consultant prior to the Effective Date or developed by Consultant outside of this Master Agreement and used by Consultant to fulfill his/her obligations under this Master Agreement shall remain the property of Consultant. In no case shall the term "Work Product" include any of Consultant's pre-existing overall know-how or trade secrets, nor shall such term include data, modules, components, designs, utilities, subsets, objects, processes, tools, models and specifications owned or developed by Consultant prior to or independently from any Project pursuant to this Master Agreement (the "Consultant Property"). Use of Consultant Property in the course of performing any Project shall in no way affect nor derogate from Consultant's exclusive ownership of any such Consultant Property. To the extent that Client's use of any Work Product depends upon or incorporates any portion of Consultant Property, Consultant hereby grants to Client a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up limited license to use such but solely in connection with the dependent Work Product.

(c)    All work product, regardless of whether copyrightable or patentable and regardless of whether tangible or intangible, developed for Client by Consultant (collectively, the "Work Product") in the course of performing any Project pursuant to this Master Agreement, shall be deemed to be the sole and exclusive property of Client, regardless of whether such Work Product is considered a "work made for hire" or an employment to invent. Work Product shall include all background notes, research, source code, and other information whether or not submitted to Client as part of any final report or finished product. All Work Product shall be considered to be confidential, trade secret property of Client and shall not be copied (except in the course of performing services hereunder), removed from Client's premises, or disclosed to third parties by Consultant without Client's prior written approval. Consultant agrees that Client shall own all copyright,

10

patent rights and trade secret rights with respect to any Work Product discovered, created or developed under this Master Agreement without regard to the origin of the Work Product. If and to the extent that Consultant may, under applicable law, be entitled to claim any ownership interest or moral rights in the Work Product, Consultant hereby sells, transfers, grants, conveys, assigns, and relinquishes exclusively to Client any and all right, title, and interest it now has or may hereafter acquire in and to the Work Product under patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property law in perpetuity or for the longest period otherwise permitted by law. Upon request of Client, Consultant shall, without any additional charge, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Client all instruments (including, without limitation, any assignment of proprietary right, assignment of contract right, assignment of choses in action, xxxx of sale, assignment of copyright, assignment of copyright registration, or assignment of renewal of copyright registration) that Client deems necessary or desirable to enable Client to establish ownership or to file and prosecute applications for, and to acquire, maintain and enforce, all trademarks, service marks, registrations, copyrights, licenses and patents covering the Work Product.

(d)    Upon termination of this Master Agreement, Client shall be placed in possession of all Work Product and Client Confidential Information, and Consultant shall not maintain any copies unless (i) Consultant has requested in writing permission to retain in his/her work papers certain specifically identified Client Confidential Information and Client has approved such request in writing, or (ii) Consultant is required by law to retain Client Confidential Information and then only to the extent and for the time so required by law.

(e)    Consultant acknowledges and agrees (i) that Client will suffer immediate and irreparable harm in the event of an actual or threatened breach by Consultant of the obligations of non-disclosure and non-use assumed hereunder, and (ii) that Client shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief restraining the Consultant from the breach or threatened breach, in addition to any other remedies available to it in law or in equity.

(f)    Consultant’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

6.    [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

7.    Infringement Indemnification. Consultant covenants and agrees to fully indemnify, protect, defend and hold Client harmless with respect to any allegation, claim, action or proceeding that any Work Product or other material (including, but not limited to any software licensed through or by Consultant or written by Consultant for Client) furnished by Consultant infringes a patent, copyright, trade secret or proprietary right or that this Master Agreement violates any agreement between Consultant and any other Party. Client must notify Consultant in writing of any such action as soon as practicable upon its commencement or threatened commencement. Client shall have full authority to control and conduct the defense, including the retention of counsel of its choice. Consultant’s indemnification of Client includes, but is not limited to, losses, damages, suits, actions, responsibilities, reasonable attorneys fees, accounting fees, experts' fees, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, fines penalties, interest, judgments, awards and settlements.

8.    Breach.    Failure by Consultant or Client to comply with any material term or provision of the Documents relating to a Project shall entitle the non-defaulting Party to give the defaulting Party written notice requiring it to cure the default. If the defaulting Party has not cured the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice, the non-defaulting Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights it may have under this Master Agreement or otherwise by law, to terminate such Project by giving notice to take effect immediately. The right of either Party to terminate a Project hereunder shall not be affected in any way by its wavier of or failure to take action with respect to any previous default.

9.    Limitation of Liability.

(a)    Other than for claims arising under Section 7 hereof, no action, regardless of form, arising out of the Services under this Master Agreement may be brought by either Party more then one (1) year after the date of the final performance of the Services by Consultant with regard to a particular Project, including any action brought by Consultant for alleged non-payment of sums due Consultant under this Master Agreement.

(b)    The term "Force Majeure Event" refers to fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, or any other similar exogenous cause beyond the reasonable control of Consultant, provided such default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot reasonably be circumvented by Consultant through the use of alternate sources, work-around plans or other means. The term "Force Majeure Event" shall not refer to Consultant's labor difficulties or to strikes by or lockouts of Consultant's personnel. Consultant shall not be liable to Client for any delay in performance or any failure in performance of any services or projects hereunder caused in whole or in part by reason of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event. Client

11

shall not refuse to accept delivery by reason of delays occasioned by reason of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event. Any delay resulting from the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event shall correspondingly extend the time for performance by Consultant.

(c)    Other than as elsewhere set forth in this Master Agreement, CONSULTANT MAKES NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR ANY CLAIM OR DEMAND AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY BY ANY OTHER PARTY DUE TO ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7 OF THIS MASTER AGREEMENT.

The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

11.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    This Master Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written instrument signed by authorized representatives of each Party, which expressly refers to this Master Agreement. No subsequent agreement will be treated as a waiver, cancellation, novation, merger or superseding agreement to this Master Agreement unless it specifically and unambiguously states that it is intended to be a waiver, cancellation, novation, merger or superseding agreement and is signed by an authorized officer of both Parties.

(b)    Failure to invoke any right, condition or covenant in the Documents by either Party shall not be deemed to imply or constitute a waiver of any other right, condition or covenant.
