1.3. Materials.  Recipient may provide Provider with certain tangible materials for Provider to perform the Services.  As between the Parties, title to such materials shall remain with Recipient.  Provider shall use such materials solely to perform the Services and in compliance with Recipient’s instructions.  Provider shall not sell, transfer, disclose or otherwise provide access to such materials to any person or entity except to those affiliates and third parties who require access to conduct the Services or related services for Recipient.  Upon completion of the applicable Services or earlier upon Recipient’s request, Provider shall return any unused materials to Recipient as directed by Recipient.

1.4. Work Product.  Provider agrees that Recipient shall own all right, title, and interest in and to all data, information and materials generated by Recipient in the course of performance of the Services, and all discoveries, inventions and improvements, whether patentable or not, developed, conceived or reduced to practice in the course of performance of the Services, whether solely by employees, agents, consultants or contractors of Provider or Recipient, or jointly by one or more employees, agents, consultants or contractors of Provider and one or more employees, agents, consultants or contractors of Recipient, and all intellectual property rights arising therefrom (collectively, the “Work Product”).  Provider shall promptly notify Recipient in writing of any Work Product developed, conceived or reduced to practice by employees, agents, consultants or contractors of Provider.  Provider hereby assigns and transfers to Recipient all right, title and interest of Provider in and to all Work Product (or if such assignment and transfer is not permitted by law, Provider agrees to waive such rights or grant to Recipient an exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license under such rights for any and all purposes) and agrees to take all further acts reasonably required to evidence such assignment and transfer, or license, as applicable, to Recipient at Recipient’s expense.  Provider represents and covenants that it has entered (or will enter) into an agreement with each employee, agent, consultant or contractor of Provider performing Services, pursuant to which such person shall grant all rights in the Work Product to Provider such that Provider may convey such rights to Recipient in accordance with this Section 1.4.  All Work Product and any information with respect thereto shall be Confidential Information of Recipient and shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 4.  Work Product shall not include any Provider proprietary technology existing prior to the Original Effective Date or any improvements thereto, and shall likewise not include any other information or technology that is developed, conceived or reduced to practice by or on behalf of Provider independent of any activities conducted pursuant to this Agreement, all of which, as between the Parties, shall be owned solely by Provider.

3.2. Determination of Service Fee; Adjustments.  The Service Fee is intended to cover all direct and indirect costs incurred by Provider in connection with providing the Services as agreed as of the Execution Date, accounted for according to Provider’s standard accounting practices consistent with generally-accepted accounting principles, plus a reasonable and customary percentage mark-up of such costs.  The Parties will periodically review and adjust such costs from time to time as necessary to assure that the Service Fee reflects Provider’s direct and indirect costs to conduct the Services and provide the Premises. The Service Fee will be calculated and invoiced on a quarterly basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculated and invoiced Service Fee may include those costs incurred by Provider (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) under the terms of any transfer pricing or other arrangements existing between Provider and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Financial Services

In addition to the Limited Use, Recipient shall require Provider’s assistance with the following financial service functions (together, the “Additional Requirements”), including all bookkeeping, disbursement, billing, credit control, payroll coordination and processing efforts, as directed or otherwise required by Recipient (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any additional functions that are incidental and related to the Additional Requirements and which are not specifically enumerated in the foregoing sentence). The Parties contemplate that the Additional Requirements will be required for at least the entirety of the fourth calendar quarter of 2019 (“Q4”), and the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Additional Requirements will be automatically be presumed to


 

be continuously required past Q4 (and into and beyond 2020), unless and until either Party provides its counterpart with 5 business days’ prior written notice of cancellation.



As consideration for the Additional Requirements, Provider will determine, subject to Recipient’s reasonable approval, the total time that was devoted to providing the Additional Requirements, and will invoice Recipient on a monthly basis at a rate of $70/hour for such time, where each such invoice shall be sent to Recipient within sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar month (the “Finance Fee”).



Reimbursements

Provider shall explicitly be permitted and authorized to pay those expenses incurred by Recipient, on Recipient’s behalf (such paid expenses incurred by Recipient and paid by Provider, collectively, the “Reimbursable Expenses”). The Parties contemplate that disbursements for Reimbursable Expenses will be required for at least the entirety of Q4, and will be presumed to be continuously permitted past Q4 (and into and beyond 2020), unless and until either Party provides its counterpart with 5 business days’ prior written notice of cancellation. For the avoidance of doubt, Reimbursable Expenses shall only be reimbursed at cost.



Service Fee

The “Service Fee” shall comprise the sum of each invoiced monthly Rent Fee, Finance Fee, and Reimbursable Expenses.
