WBS agrees that all information provided pursuant to this Section 4 shall constitute “Confidential Information” under Section 7 hereof.

 

5. NO AGENCY OR PARTNERSHIP

 

Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, WBS acknowledges and agrees that (i) the relationship between WBS, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, is that of independent contractor only and in no event shall any representative of WBS be deemed to be an employee of the Company and (ii) WBS shall have no authority to enter into any agreement or to make any representation, commitment or warranty binding upon the Company or to obtain or incur any right, obligation or liability on behalf of the Company. This Agreement is not intended to create any other relationship of any kind, including, but not limited to, an employer-employee relationship, joint venture, franchise, partnership or other relationship of any similar kind between or among the Company and WBS or representatives of the Company or WBS, and the parties expressly deny the existence of any such relationship. As an independent contractor, WBS solely is responsible for payment of all taxes relating to the services provided by WBS under this Agreement, and any employee of WBS, including, but not limited to, all federal, state and local income taxes, employment-related taxes, worker’s compensation insurance, social security taxes and withholding taxes.

 

6. FEES AND EXPENSES

 

(A) The parties agree that WBS shall charge the Company for the WBS Services at the respective WBS Costs with respect to the WBS Service performed. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “WBS Costs,” with respect to any WBS Service, means the product of 1.05 multiplied by the aggregate of all related costs and expenses which WBS incurs, directly or indirectly, in the provision of such WBS Service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, WBS shall allow and render full assistance to external auditors appointed by the other to carry out from time to time an audit and review of the charges to ensure that WBS is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

 

(A) No party (a “Disclosing Party”) shall, without the prior written consent of the other party (the “Non-disclosing Party”), disclose any Confidential Information (defined below) of the Non-disclosing Party, except to a Disclosing Party’s employees or representatives who need to know such information for any reason contemplated by this Agreement (and then only to the extent that any such persons are under an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of, and to abide by the non-use provisions set forth herein with respect to, the Confidential Information), or use any Confidential Information of the Non-disclosing Party for any reason other than as contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7(B) below, in the event that the Disclosing Party is requested or required by documents subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process or applicable law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party shall provide the Non-disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such demand or other similar process so that the Non-disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or, to the extent such subpoena, demand, process or law is mandatory and no protective order is possible, waive the Disclosing Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 7(A), as appropriate. In addition to the foregoing, each party agrees that it will disclose Confidential Information only to such employees or representatives who need to know such information for any reason contemplated by this Agreement or to assist such party in fulfilling its obligations or enforcing its rights under this Agreement (and then only to the extent that any such person is under an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information).

 

(B) The term “Confidential Information” as used in this Section 7 means the following (and whether disclosed prior to or after the date of this Agreement): (i) as to the Company, all confidential information relating to the business and operations of the Company and (ii) as to WBS and its affiliates, all confidential information relating to the business and operations of WBS and its affiliates; provided, however, that the term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (1) is generally available to the public currently, (2) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Disclosing Party or (3) becomes available to the Disclosing Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Non-disclosing Party (so long as such source is not bound by a duty of confidentiality (whether by agreement or otherwise) to the Non-disclosing Party).

8. INDEMNIFICATION

 

(A) Subject to Section 8(F) below, the Company shall indemnify and save and hold WBS and its respective officers and directors, employees, consultants and agents (individually, a “WBS Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “WBS Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the acceptance or performance of any duties or rendering of any WBS Services performed by any WBS Indemnified Party under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall have no liability hereunder in respect of any act or omission of a WBS Indemnified Party caused by such WBS Indemnified Party’s willful breach of this Agreement in any material respect, reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or willful misconduct, gross negligence or willful malfeasance in the performance of or in connection with providing the WBS Services.

 

(B) WBS shall indemnify and save and hold the Company and the officers and directors, employees, consultants and agents of the Company (individually, a “Company Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Company Indemnified Parties,” and together with the WBS Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of a willful breach by WBS of this Agreement in any material respect, reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or willful misconduct, gross negligence or willful malfeasance in the performance of or in connection with providing the WBS Services.

 

(C) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving any suit, action, proceeding, claim, demand or written notice made by any third party against an Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party must notify the party of whom it is requesting such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third Party Claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses, to elect to compromise or assume the defense thereof by delivering written notice to such effect to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days or such shorter period as is reasonably required, following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to compromise or assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, it may not agree to any settlement or compromise of such claim, other than a settlement or compromise solely for monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party in connection with such compromise or defense and shall have the right to participate in such compromise or defense with counsel (but not more than one firm) selected (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be withheld unreasonably) and paid for by the Indemnifying Party. Except as otherwise provided, regardless of which party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnified Party shall not

 

5


settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not withhold unreasonably consent to any settlement or compromise of such claim and (iii) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in any settlement or compromise of such claim, whether by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not compromise or assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party all reasonable costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any claim in advance of the final disposition thereof; provided, however, that if it ultimately is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (from whose decision no appeals may be taken or the time for appeal has lapsed) that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnity hereunder, then the Indemnified Party shall repay promptly all amounts so advanced. The Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party statements of the reasonable costs and expenses so incurred, or to be incurred, on a monthly basis, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly to the Indemnified Party the amounts shown on such statements.

 

(D) In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement for other than a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party and such notice shall specify the basis for such claim in reasonable detail; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice or to specify such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure). Any dispute between the parties with respect to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 below.

 

(E) Absent fraud, the indemnification provided in this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the parties for breach of any of the terms, conditions, representations or warranties contained herein or any right, claim or action arising from the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, this exclusive remedy does not preclude a party from (i) bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) otherwise exercising any rights of such party under the terms of this Agreement.

 

(F) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) no party shall be liable to the other party for indemnification under this Section 8 for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising out of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, loss of profits, and each party hereby releases the other party from any claims that it may have against the other party for any such damages and loss of profits, unless such damages or loss of profits are covered by insurance, in which event the insured party shall be obligated to seek recovery and submit any recovery to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by the Indemnified Party in respect to Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims and (ii) in no event shall the Company have any liability (in any single instance or in the aggregate) that is in excess of the sum of all fees paid hereunder. Both parties shall take commercially reasonable actions to mitigate their damages.

9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

(A) In the event that a party to this Agreement has reasonable grounds to believe that the other party hereto has breached or failed to satisfactorily perform any of its obligations hereunder, such party will notify promptly the other party in writing of the substance of its belief. The party receiving such notice must respond in writing within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such notice and either provide evidence that it has cured (or is diligently in the process of curing) the condition specified, or provide an explanation why it believes that its performance is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and also specify three (3) dates (excluding holidays and weekends) for a meeting to resolve the dispute. The claiming party will then select one of the three (3) dates, and a dispute resolution meeting will be held. If the parties cannot resolve their dispute by good faith negotiations, then the parties shall be free to seek relief in the courts as specified in Section 9(B) below.

 

(B) The Company and WBS irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any court of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and each agrees that no such action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall be brought by it or any of its affiliates except in such courts). The Company and WBS agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such person’s respective address set forth below shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(C) Each party hereby waives and agrees to cause each of its affiliates to waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly and indirectly arising, out of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

 

10. DURATION AND TERMINATION

 

(A) This Agreement shall be deemed to come into force on the Effective Date and shall continue in force until terminated by either party giving not less than thirty (30) calendar days’ prior notice in writing to the other party.

 

(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(A) above, either party hereto shall have the right at any time by giving notice in writing to the other party to terminate this Agreement forthwith in any of the following events:

 

  (1) if such other party commits any material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to a failure to pay any sum which is due and payable under the terms of this Agreement) on its part to be observed or performed and shall not remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after notice is given to it requiring such remedy; or

 

  (2) if such other party shall enter into liquidation whether it be compulsory or voluntary (not being a voluntary liquidation for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction) or have a receiver or judicial manager

 

7


appointed over it or any of its assets or shall make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or take or suffer any similar action.

 

(C) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section 10, from and after the date of such termination, this Agreement shall have no further force or effect, without any liability on the part of any party or its directors, officers, members or stockholders, except for the obligations of the parties hereto which continue after termination as provided in Section 12 below and that WBS shall be entitled to receive all undisputed invoice amounts which have not been paid prior to the date of such termination. Nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to release either party from any liability for any willful and material breach of any obligation hereunder.

 

11. NO ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER

 

This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company or WBS without the prior written consent of the other party, except that the Company may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder without WBS’ consent to (i) one or more of its affiliates or (ii) in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or in connection with a merger, acquisition or other corporate reorganization of the Company. Any attempt to assign any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement, except as set forth in this Section 11, without such prior consent shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties to it and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

12. SEVERABILITY AND SURVIVAL

 

(A) In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

(B) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 10, from and after the date of termination, this Agreement shall have no further force or effect, except for the provisions of Sections 4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11, this Section 12 and Sections 14, 16, 18 and 19 which shall survive such termination.

 

13. NON-WAIVER

 

No failure to exercise, nor delay in exercising on the part of either party, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of their right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof of any other right, power or remedy.
