(b)     Any Services performed pursuant to Statements of Work either prior to or at the time of the execution of this Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent and with the same effect as if the Services had been performed after the execution of this Agreement.

 

2.2.      Services Commitment.  Firstwave agrees to pay Extreme Logic a minimum Fee (excluding taxes and reimbursable expenses) of $80,000 per month for five months (the “Monthly Fee Requirement”), beginning August 1, 2002, for a total of $400,000, or $400,000 total services, whichever comes first in Fees (the “Total Fee Requirement”).  The Monthly Fee Requirement and Total Fee Requirement shall be dependent upon Extreme Logic’s provision of a sufficient number of technically competent personnel to provide the Services requested by Firstwave during the five month period beginning August 1, 2002.  All invoices for Services provided by Extreme Logic and paid by Firstwave shall be applied against the Monthly Fee Requirement and the Total Fee Requirement.

3.          ACCEPTANCE.

 

3.1 Evaluation.  For a period beginning upon delivery of a Deliverable and (i) in the case of an Interim Deliverable (defined below), ending no later than 5:00 p.m. local time in Atlanta, Georgia on the third (3rd) business day following delivery (“Interim Evaluation Period”) or (ii) in the case of the Final Deliverable (defined below), ending no later than 5:00 p.m. local time in Atlanta, Georgia on the tenth (10th) business day following delivery (“Final Evaluation Period”), Firstwave shall diligently evaluate each Deliverable delivered by Extreme Logic to determine whether the Deliverable contains the features, and is capable of performing the operations, that are specifically set forth in the specifications to which the parties have mutually agreed in writing with respect to such Deliverable (“Specifications”).  Extreme Logic may observe or participate in any evaluation by Firstwave. For purposes hereof, (x) “Interim Deliverable” means a Deliverable delivered to Firstwave pursuant to an interim delivery milestone set forth in a Statement of Work or Change Order, (y) “Final Deliverable” means the Deliverable delivered to Firstwave pursuant to the final delivery milestone set forth in a Statement of Work or Change Order, and (z) “Acceptance Period” means either the Interim Evaluation Period or the Final Evaluation Period, as applicable, provided Extreme Logic has delivered written notice (email notice will suffice) of the delivery of the respective Deliverable to the CEO and CFO of Firstwave.  The parties may extend the applicable Acceptance Period in a writing assigned by both parties.

 

3.2 Acceptance.  Prior to the termination of the applicable Acceptance Period, Firstwave will notify Extreme Logic in writing either (a) of its acceptance of the Deliverable (“Acceptance”), or (b) if Firstwave reasonably determines there is any failure of the Deliverable to conform to the Specifications (a “Nonconformity”), of the specific Nonconformity(ies) of the Deliverable.  If a notice of Nonconformity is delivered, Extreme Logic shall then promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct all Nonconformities and deliver such corrected Deliverable to Firstwave.  Upon delivery thereof, Firstwave shall have an additional Interim Acceptance Period or Final Acceptance Period, as applicable, to reevaluate the Deliverable to determine if the Nonconformities have been corrected. If the Nonconformities have not been corrected, Firstwave will have the option of (i) giving Extreme Logic a new notice of Nonconformity as described in 3.2(b) above, or (ii) accepting the Deliverable as-is. In the event Extreme Logic is unable to correct the Nonconformities after multiple attempts, then Firstwave, as its sole remedy and in its sole discretion, may either (i) accept the Deliverable “AS IS”, or receive a refund of all fees applicable to the defective Deliverable.  The acceptance process and applicable remedies described in this Section shall be Firstwave’s sole remedy for any Nonconformance or any breach of the warranty contained in Section 7.2.  “Acceptance” shall be deemed to have occurred the earlier to occur of the following: (x) delivery of written Acceptance by Firstwave; (y) the end of the Acceptance Period, if no notice to the contrary is received by Extreme Logic during such Acceptance Period; or (z) the date the Deliverable is commercially distributed by Firstwave to its end user(s).

 

4.          COMPENSATION.

 

4.1.      Fees and Expenses. Firstwave agrees to pay all fees as set forth in the applicable Statement of Work (“Fees”). Such Fees shall be offset against the Monthly Fee Requirement specified in Section 2.2; in the event Extreme Logic incurs Service Fees in excess of the Monthly Fee Requirement, Firstwave shall pay such additional Fee amount in accordance with the terms hereof.  Firstwave

shall also pay expenses incurred by Extreme Logic in the performance of Services which shall include, without limitation, reasonable travel expenses (including transportation, lodging, and meals) and the cost of any courier services, photocopying, facsimile, transmissions, communications charges, telephone calls, and other expenses (collectively, “Expenses”).  Unless otherwise indicated on the payment schedule on a Statement of Work, Extreme Logic shall submit itemized statements to Firstwave weekly and such invoices shall be due thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by Firstwave.  A late fee shall be charged by Extreme Logic on overdue accounts and any other amounts not paid to Extreme Logic as provided under this Agreement at the rate of one and one-half percent (1-½%) per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less, commencing forty-five (45) days after the due date of the invoice.  In addition, Extreme Logic, at its sole option, may suspend performance of any and all Services without liability therefor if payment upon any valid and uncontested invoice is not received from Firstwave prior to or upon its due date.

 

4.2.      Taxes.  The Fees, Expenses and all other amounts due to Extreme Logic as set forth in this Agreement are net amounts to be received by Extreme Logic, exclusive of all taxes, duties, and assessments, and are not subject to offset or reduction because of any costs, expenses, taxes, duties, withholdings, or assessments, incurred by Firstwave or imposed on Extreme Logic in the performance of this Agreement or otherwise due as a result of this Agreement.  This paragraph shall not apply to taxes based solely on Extreme Logic’s income.

(a) In the event that the other party fails to discharge any obligations or remedy any default under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after the notifying party has given the other party written notice specifying such failure or default, and such failure or default is not cured during this thirty (30) day period or such longer period of time as may be agreed upon by the parties in writing.

 

9.4.      Termination for Nonpayment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Firstwave defaults in the payment when due of any amount due to Extreme Logic hereunder and does not cure such default within forty-five (45) days of due date of invoice, then Extreme Logic may, by giving written notice thereof to Firstwave, terminate the Agreement or Statement of Work as of a date specified in such notice of termination.

 

9.5.      Termination Upon Completion of all Statements of Work.  If there are no outstanding Statements of Work under which Services are still being provided by Extreme Logic to Firstwave, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other, either party may terminate this Agreement as of the date specified in such notice of termination.

9.7       Post-Termination Obligations. If Extreme Logic terminates this Agreement pursuant to 9.3 or 9.4, then any unpaid balance of the Total Fee Requirement shall accelerate and become immediately due and payable.  Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, (a) Firstwave shall pay Extreme Logic for all Services performed by Extreme Logic prior to the date of termination; (b) each party shall immediately return to the other all such Proprietary Information and other property of the other party (except for any Deliverables for which payment has been received and Derivative Works thereof) and all copies thereof and shall provide the other party with a signed written statement certifying compliance with the foregoing; and (c) the provisions of Sections 3-7, 7.3, 8-11, 13 and 14 shall continue in full force and effect, as well as any other provisions of this Agreement which by their terms are deemed to survive termination hereof.

12.       COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

 

12.1.    General.  Firstwave will strictly comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating in any way to the use of the Deliverables, and will not use the Deliverables in a way that violates the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, any rights of privacy or publicity.

 

12.2.    Export Compliance. Firstwave acknowledges and agrees that the Deliverables and technical data received from Extreme Logic may be subject to export or import controls. Without limiting the generality of Section 12.1 Firstwave agrees (a) to comply with any and all applicable laws, regulations, and rulings on exportation and importation regarding its use of the Deliverables and (b) that the Deliverables (or any technical information related to Extreme Logic’s products) shall not be exported or re-exported (i) to any countries included in prohibited Country Groups of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations or as otherwise prohibited under such regulations at the time of export or re-export; (ii) to national citizens of such prohibited Country Groups; or (iii) in violation of this Agreement.

 

13.       GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

13.1.    Relationship of Parties.  Extreme Logic is an independent provider of information technology services, and this Agreement shall not be construed to create any employment relationship, partnership, joint venture or agency relationship or to authorize any party to enter into any commitment or agreement binding on the other party.  Firstwave shall have the sole and full responsibility for determining its business requirements and that the Specifications in the Statement of Work will meet its needs.  Extreme Logic shall bear sole responsibility for payment of compensation to its personnel.  Extreme Logic shall pay, report and be responsible for all personnel assigned to Firstwave’s Services, federal and state income tax withholding, social security taxes, unemployment insurance, health or disability insurance, retirement benefits, or other welfare or pension benefits, if any, applicable to such personnel as employees of Extreme Logic.  Extreme Logic shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Firstwave, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities or expenses relating to such compensation, tax, insurance or other benefits.  Notwithstanding any other workers’ compensation or insurance policies maintained by Firstwave, Extreme Logic shall procure and maintain workers’ compensation coverage sufficient to meet the statutory requirements of every jurisdiction in which Extreme Logic’s personnel are engaged in providing Services for Firstwave.

 

13.2.    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their legal representatives, permitted transferees, successors, and assigns as permitted by this Agreement.

 

13.3.    Assignment.  This Agreement and all rights and obligations may not be assigned in whole or in part by either party without the prior written consent of the other, except that this Agreement may be assigned by either party without consent to another entity in connection with (i) a reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition or other restructuring involving all or substantially all of the voting securities and/or assets of such party, or (ii) a sale of stock or other equity interest of such party in connection with a public placement offering, excluding the Restricted Entities identified in the Source Code License Agreement executed on even date herewith.  In the event Extreme Logic desires to assign any rights or obligations hereunder to any of the Restricted Entities, Extreme Logic shall first obtain the written consent of an authorized representative of Firstwave.

 

13.4.    Force Majeure.  Except for any payment obligations hereunder, neither Extreme Logic nor Firstwave shall be liable for failure to perform any of its respective obligations hereunder if such failure is caused by an event outside its

 

4



 

reasonable control, including, but not limited to, an act of God, war, or natural disaster.

 

13.5.    Remedies.  Both parties acknowledge that Sections 5 and 12 and each provision in this Agreement providing for the protection of each party’s copyrights, Proprietary Information and other proprietary rights are material to this Agreement.  Both parties agree that any threatened or actual breach of Sections 5 or 12 and their respective copyrights, Proprietary Information or other proprietary rights by the other party shall constitute immediate, irreparable harm for which monetary damages are an inadequate remedy and for which equitable remedies may be awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, all remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to either party, whether at law or in equity or otherwise.

 

13.6.    No Waiver.  No delay or failure in exercising any right hereunder and no partial or single exercise thereof shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of such right or any other rights hereunder.  No consent to a breach of any express or implied term of this Agreement shall constitute a consent to any prior or subsequent breach.

 

13.7.    Severability.  If any provision hereof is declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, so that the remainder of that provision and all remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the parties agree that the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms of this Agreement shall be more strictly construed against one party than against another because the parties participated equally in preparing and negotiating this Agreement.

 

13.8.    Notices. All notices required by or relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent to the parties to this Agreement at their addresses set forth herein or to such other address as either party may substitute by written notice to the other, delivered in person or by recognized courier.  All notices shall be deemed delivered upon the earlier of actual receipt or three (3) days after deposit of such notice, properly addressed, postage prepaid, with such recognized courier.

 

13.9.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its rules regarding conflict of laws.

 

13.10.     Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Statement(s) of Work attached hereto and the Wildcat Matrix document attached hereto  represent the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter set forth herein, and supersede all negotiations, agreements, contracts, commitments and understandings, both verbal and written between Extreme Logic and Firstwave.  No modifications, additions, or amendments to this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing as an addendum to this Agreement and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties.  If a purchase order or similar document is required by Firstwave, the parties agree that it will not contain any additional terms and that if there are any such terms they will not become a part of the Agreement between the parties. Once signed, both parties agree any reproduction of this Agreement made by reliable means (for example, photocopy or facsimile) is an original unless prohibited by local law.

SOFTWARE EXHIBIT

 

 

The Software is composed of the following software components (all third party software is the responsibility of Firstwave):

 

Process Designer

 

The process designer is a visio-based tool process development tool. It consists of a specific stencil which contains basic shapes:

 

Other types of nodes can be defined. The tool will save out the process by transforming the process into an XML document, which then in turn is stored into a normalized SQL2000 database.

 

Process Engine (.NET)

 

The Engine is capable of lifting a workflow out of the database, load the node-corresponding code (method) and “run” the process. The engine will take special action based on the node-type it encounters:

 

System Services

 

•                  Security component (.NET)

 

The Security Services component provides a simple interface to perform encryption and Base64 encoding of strings.  Also, it provides a secured dictionary that can contain either encrypted or clear text entries, this feature is utilized by the Configuration Services component.  Finally, the Security Services component provides a facility to detect information about a user including supervisor, groups and roles from either an XML file or Active Directory security provider.

 

•                  Logging services component (.NET)

Logging services provides the ability to write trace and error information to specified logging repositories.  These repositories include the output debugging facility, the event log or an MQ Series queue.

 

•                  Configuration services component (.NET)

The configuration services component enhances the Microsoft.Net configuration facility to allow configuration entries to be separated on a per client basis.  Default configuration entries can be overridden for a specific clients, if desired.  Additionally, entries can be encrypted in the configuration files for an extra level of security.  Configuration entries are simple name/value pairs that allow the value to be clear text or encrypted and Base64 encoded.

 

•                  Context services component (.NET)

Context Services provides a runtime access to call chain context information.   It provides a wrapper for other consumers (E.g. Logging Services, Configuration Services or business methods) to have access to the context information.  Consumers have the ability to create the context information and request individual context fields.  A key, called the ContextMoniker, is passed from method to method enabling access to any individual or set of context fields by providing the ContextMoniker to Context Services through a simple function call.

 

•                  Caching services component (.NET)

Caching services simply wraps the Microsoft.Net System.Web.Caching.Cache class to ensure it is available in both the Web environment and a stand-alone application environment.

 

.NET Profiler for applications (.NET)

 

 

XML stored procedure code generator

 

5



 

Code generation utility for use with SQL Server 2000 to create SELECT…FOR XML EXPLICIT (and AUTO) stored procedures based on a database’s table names, field names, and foreign keys. A utility will generate C# DAL code from XML metadata.
