User hereby grants Company a right and license to use the Stakeholder Information for the Permitted Use and such right and license shall continue on a perpetual basis, notwithstanding any expiration or termination of this Agreement, until (i) User notifies Company in writing that it is terminating such right and license, and (ii) any agreement between Company and a Data User for Revenue Share Data Sales has expired.

 

(e) Rights Reserved. As between the parties, User shall remain the owner of the Stakeholder Information and reserves all rights therein except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

User represents and warrants that if applicable, it has the right, power and authority and has obtained all consents necessary to provide the Stakeholder Information and grant the rights contained in this Article 4, including granting Company the right to use, and grant use of, Stakeholder Information for the Permitted Use, and that use of the Stakeholder Information for the Permitted Use by Company and/or Data Users is permitted by applicable law. Provided however that in the event the Stakeholder Information contains PPI, User will provide the Company with copies of such consents. User shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company and its affiliates from any claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Company and related to a breach of the preceding sentence.

User’s Revenue Share shall be calculated by Company monthly and User’s Revenue Share for any particular month during the Term shall be paid by Company to User on or before the last day of the month following the month in which User’s Revenue Share is earned (e.g., User’s Revenue Share tied to gross profits generated and actually received by the Company in December will be paid by the Company on or before January 31).

6.Term and Termination.

 

(a) Term. The initial term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues as a one (1) year subscription from such date (the “Initial Term”). This Agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis after the first year until either party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term “Renewal Term”. Collectively, the Initial Term and any subsequent Renewal Term will be referred to as the “Term.”

 

(b) Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement: either party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement or the Terms of Use, and such breach is incapable of cure, or being capable of cure, remains uncured 30 days after the non-breaching party provides the breaching party with written notice of such breach. If User’s account is terminated pursuant to this Agreement or under the Terms of Use, User acknowledges that it will not be entitled to a refund of any Fees and that the Fees are deemed earned by the Company on the Effective Date. Upon termination of this Agreement, User shall immediately lose access to the Platform and any of User’s data derived from the Platform, including Stakeholder Data.

 

(c) Survival. The provisions set forth in Sections 1, 4(d)-(f), 5, 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement, and any other right or obligation of the parties in this Agreement, by its nature, should survive termination or expiration of this Agreement (including any terms related to ownership of intellectual property, confidentiality or indemnification), will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

7.Other Agreements of the Parties

 

(a) Pledge of Shares. User acknowledges and agrees that Company may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Company may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the User and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. User will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares.

(b) Removal of Restrictive Legend.

 

(i) Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend, (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the User to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The User shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to its transfer agent promptly (and at no further cost to the Company) at any time after the Effective Date if the requirements of Rule 144 have been met, if required by the transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend contained on the Shares. The User agrees that at such time as a restrictive legend is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144, it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by the Company to the User or the transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. Certificates for the Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Company by crediting the account of the Company’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Company.

 

(ii) Partial Liquidated Damages. In addition to the Company’s other available remedies, the User shall pay to the Company, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of value of Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Shares are submitted to the transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit Company’s right to pursue actual damages for the User’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Shares, and the Company shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

(iii) Power of Attorney. User irrevocably appoints the Company as User’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of such User and in the name of such User, from time to time in the Company’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument in order to effectuate the removal of a restricted legend from any certificate evidencing the Shares, including providing the transfer agent an opinion of counsel, if required, and instructing the transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend from the Shares. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as the Company is the owner of the Shares

 

(iv) No Election of Remedies. User acknowledges that Company’s exercise of its Power of Attorney as provided for in 7(c)(iii) is not an election of remedies. The remedies contained in this Section 7 are intended to be cumulative.

 

8.General.

 

(a) Notices. Each party shall deliver all communications in writing either in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, by email (with confirmation of transmission), or by recognized overnight courier service, and addressed to the other party at the addresses set forth above (or to such other address that the receiving party may designate from time to time in accordance with this section).

The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(d) Assignment. Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations without the express prior written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned without consent of the other party if there is a sale, merger or acquisition of all or a majority of the assets of a party, or if there is a sale of a controlling interest of such Party. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

 

(e) No Amendment or Waiver. The parties may not amend this Agreement except by written instrument signed by the parties. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Company’s ability to unilaterally update or modify the Terms of Use in accordance with the terms thereof, with such modification not being considered an amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

 

(f) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of the provision will be amended to achieve as closely as possible the effect of the original term and all other provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
