   DEVFACTORY CONFIDENTIAL

AMENDED AND RESTATED TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AGREEMENT

Effective Date:

January 1, 2014

 

This Amended and Restated Technology Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between DevFactory FZ-LLC, 705-706 Al Thuraya Tower No. 01, Seventh Floor, Dubai Media City, P.O. Box 502092, Dubai, 43659 UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (“DevFactory”) and Upland Software, Inc. (f.k.a. Silverback Enterprise Group, Inc., “Client”), with offices at 401 Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, and sets forth the terms and conditions under which DevFactory will provide certain technology services to Client as may from time to time be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

 

1 Scope of Services

1.1 Deliverables Based Work. Unless otherwise provided on a Statement of Work, all Work to be performed hereunder shall be performed on a scoped deliverable basis and not on a time and material basis. The parties shall work in good faith to specify the applicable deliverables in the applicable SOW.

1.2 Statements of Work. DevFactory agrees to provide the technology services (“Services”) described on separate, mutually executed statements of work (the “Statement(s) of Work” or SOW(s)”) as may from time to time be issued hereunder. Each Statement of Work shall define the Services to be provided to Client, the applicable pricing, Deliverables to be created thereunder, Client deliverables and obligations, and all other appropriate terms and conditions. DevFactory will not begin any work unless a Statement of Work governing has been executed by both parties. DevFactory may immediately cease performing Services, without liability, if a Statement of Work expires and is not immediately extended or replaced with a valid Statement of Work.

1.3 Change Control Process. Change control for additional Services or scope to be delivered under a Statement of Work will be completed according to the following procedure prior to DevFactory starting any work.

 

  (a) Specific changes may be proposed by Client’s business team members.

 

  (b) Proposed changes will be reviewed by DevFactory and a report of the scope, schedule, resource and budget impact (“Impact Report”) will be prepared and delivered to Client management.

 

  (c) Client management reviews the Impact Report and approves by signature or denies changes in scope, schedule, resources and/or budget.

 

  (d) DevFactory receives the signed, approved Impact Report and creates. for Client’s approval, an additional Statement of Work with a copy of the Impact Report attached.

 

  (e) Client approves by signature such Statement of Work and delivers such Statement of Work to DevFactory for DevFactory’s signature.

 

  (f) DevFactory begins work on specific changes defined in the signed, approved Impact Report only upon the mutual execution of the new Statement of Work referenced above.

1.4 Testing and Acceptance. Following completion of any Deliverable (as defined below) to be provided to Client hereunder, Client may test the Deliverable to determine whether the Deliverable conforms to the specifications established for such Deliverable in the applicable SOW for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days after delivery to Client of the Deliverable (the “Acceptance Period”). Upon the expiration of the Acceptance Period, Client will either (i) certify to DevFactory that the Deliverable is accepted (“Acceptance”); or (ii) deliver to DevFactory a written description of any specific failure of the Deliverable to conform to the applicable specifications. In no such written response is provided, the Deliverable shall be deemed to be Accepted and complete. Further, if the Deliverable substantially conforms to the specifications but Client identifies certain minor non-conformities, Client shall Accept the Deliverable and the parties shall work in good faith to either correct such non-conformities or agree on appropriate Work Credits (as defined below) to compensate Client for such non-conformities. Upon proper notice of a failure of Acceptance, DevFactory will promptly undertake such corrections as are necessary for the Deliverable to conform to the specifications and DevFactory will notify Client when such corrections and modifications have been made. If DevFactory has performed corrections to the Deliverable, Client will have thirty (30) days after delivery of such corrections to perform acceptance testing to determine whether the Deliverable conforms to the applicable specifications. If after a second attempt the Deliverable still does not conform to the applicable specifications, Client shall have the right to (1) allow continued attempts to correct the Deliverable, subject to this Section 1.4, or (2) terminate the applicable service obligation for the failed deliverable and receive a Work Credit (as defined below) as to just that failed Deliverable. If DevFactory notifies Client that Client has failed to properly provide notice that a Deliverable has failed, if Client otherwise improperly fails to Accept a Deliverable, or if the parties disagree as to whether a Deliverable substantially conforms to the specifications, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.16. For clarity, any concerns by Client that a Deliverable does not meet Client’s expectations, but otherwise complies with all applicable specifications, shall not be actionable under this provision, but, rather, shall constitute an additional service request.

1.5 Order of Precedence. Each Statement of Work shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including its schedules and attachments); however, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Statement of Work the provisions of the Statement of Work shall prevail.

2 Subcontractors

2.1 Client acknowledges that DevFactory shall subcontract Services to a third party (“Subcontractor”), subject to provisions contained under Section 5.4. DevFactory shall be responsible for the Subcontractor’s compliance with this Agreement. Client understands that the Subcontractors shall be foreign nationals and may be located in a country other than the United States (but will not be located in Iran, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Cuba or North Korea or any other country subject to embargo or other restrictions by the United States government). Either party warrants that any export of its Confidential Information, data or software, and its performance hereunder, will comply with all foreign and domestic federal, state and local laws and ordinances, including any and all import and export restrictions and all customs requirements.

 

3 Term

3.1 Agreement Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in force for an initial period of forty-eight (48) months and shall automatically renew for up to five successive one year periods thereafter at the election of either party as provided herein. If both parties have failed to indicate a desire to renew a term prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the then current expiration date, each party shall provide written notice to the other seeking to confirm such other party’s desire not to renew. Each party shall have thirty days to confirm its position on renewal or non renewal. The Agreement shall continue in effect through the confirmation process.

3.2 Statement of Work Term. Each Statement of Work shall remain in effect until it has expired on its own terms or the Services and Deliverables authorized thereunder are complete. The parties agree that they are contractually obligated to enter into Statements of Work pursuant to the structure set forth in Schedule A which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. As such, Schedule A sets forth the percentage of revenue of any and all entities and business lines acquired by Client that is payable to DevFactory throughout the term of the Agreement and likewise, DevFactory hereby agrees to provide the Deliverables as to all entities acquired by Client as per Schedule A.

 

4 Price and Payment

4.1 Service Fees. In consideration of the Services provided by DevFactory, Client shall pay the Services Fees set forth in the applicable Statement of Work or as otherwise provided on Schedule A, subject to the payment provisions set forth in Schedule A. In the event a Statement of Work does not reference any specific pricing, such Services shall be provided at rates and charges in accordance with Section 4 of Schedule A.

4.2 Expenses. Client shall reimburse DevFactory for all reasonable travel, food, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performance of a given Statement of Work. DevFactory shall obtain Client’s prior written expense prior to incurring any single expense in excess of $500.

4.3 Payment Due Date. DevFactory will submit invoices for charges and expenses hereunder monthly. Client shall make payment of each invoice in US dollars within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any and all payments required to be made hereunder shall be timely made, and no payments to DevFactory shall be withheld, delayed, reduced or refunded if DevFactory has fully performed its material obligations and its inability to meet any schedule or delivery requirements is caused by Client’s failure to provide certain of its facilities, computer resources,

software programs, project management activities, personnel, and business information as are required to perform any work.

4.4 Purchase Orders. Client agrees to provide DevFactory with a valid purchase order, if applicable, promptly upon execution of a Statement of Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, purchase orders are to be used solely for Client’s accounting purposes and any terms and conditions contained therein shall be deemed null and void with respect to the parties’ relationship and this Agreement. Client’s failure to issue a purchase order or provide such purchase order to DevFactory, however, shall in no way relieve Client of any obligation entered into pursuant to this Agreement or any Statement of Work entered into hereunder, including, but not limited to, its obligation to pay DevFactory in a timely fashion.

4.5 Late Payment. Any late payment shall be subject to any costs of collection (including reasonable legal fees) and shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial periods) or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. In addition to other rights and remedies available to DevFactory hereunder and under the law, DevFactory shall have the right to withdraw all consulting staff as well as all unfinished Services or Deliverables performed under a Statement of Work in the event of Client’s failure to pay any undisputed (a dispute as to invoice may only be commenced on the basis of proper form or amount for such invoice) open invoice within thirty (30) days following the due date. The Services will not be restaffed until: (i) all amounts due to DevFactory have been paid in full; (ii) any and all contractual terms and/or deadlines that have been affected by the delay have been revised and agreed upon by the parties; and (iii) DevFactory resources have become available for redeployment on Client’s project.

4.6 Taxes. The charges required to be paid hereunder do not include any amount for taxes or levy (including interest and penalties). Client shall reimburse DevFactory and hold DevFactory harmless for all sales, use, VAT, excise, property, or other taxes or levies which DevFactory is required to collect or remit to applicable tax authorities. This provision does not apply to DevFactory’s income or franchise taxes, or any taxes for which Client is exempt, provided Client has furnished DevFactory with a valid tax exemption certificate.

4.7 Invoice Dispute Resolution. Without limiting any rights or obligations under the Agreement, including Section 4.5 above, the following steps will be taken if an invoice becomes past due. DevFactory’s accounts receivable and Client’s accounts payable representatives shall use all reasonable efforts to facilitate immediate payment of the invoice. In the event DevFactory does not receive a commitment for prompt payment, each party shall escalate the matter to DevFactory’s Primary Contact for the Services in question, as designated in the Statement of Work, or DevFactory’s designated financial officer and Client’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Final Escalation”) for investigation and resolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the initial contact with Client’s vice president pursuant to such Final Escalation shall constitute “notice of default” pursuant to Section 9.1.1.

 

5 Confidential/Proprietary Information

5.1 Definition. All information which is defined as Confidential Information hereunder in tangible form shall be marked as “Confidential” or the like or, if intangible (e.g. visually or orally disclosed), shall be designated as being confidential at the time of disclosure and shall be confirmed as such in writing within thirty (30) days of the initial disclosure. “Confidential Information” may include all technical, product, business, financial, and other information regarding the business and software programs of either party, its customers, employees, investors, contractors, vendors and suppliers,

DEVFACTORY CONFIDENTIAL

 

including but not limited to programming techniques and methods, research and development, computer programs, documentation, marketing plans, customer identity, and business methods. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding any marking requirement, Confidential Information shall include all information and materials disclosed orally or in any other form, regarding DevFactory’s software products or software product development and other information of or relating to DevFactory’s software products or derived from testing or other use thereof. All such Confidential Information may be disclosed by either party, before or after the Effective Date. Confidential Information includes information generally not publicly known, whether tangible or intangible and in whatever form or medium provided, as well as any information generated by a party that contains, reflects, or is derived from such information. For the purpose of this entire Section 5, ‘DevFactory’ shall include all its Affiliates.

5.2 Exceptions. Without granting any right or license, the obligations of the parties hereunder shall not apply to any material or information that: (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission by the receiving party; (ii) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; (iii) is rightfully obtained from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality to the receiving party; or (iv) is already known by the receiving party without any obligation of confidentiality prior to obtaining the Confidential Information from the disclosing party. In addition, neither party shall be liable for disclosure of Confidential Information if made in response to a valid order of a court or authorized agency of government, provided that notice is promptly given to the party whose Confidential Information is to be disclosed so that such party may seek a protective order and engage in other efforts to minimize the required disclosure. The parties shall cooperate fully in seeking such protective order and in engaging in such other efforts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for intellectual property owned by DevFactory prior to execution of the applicable SOW or developed separately by DevFactory for which fees were not paid to DevFactory hereunder (“DevFactory Pre-existing Technology”), Deliverables provided to Client hereunder are the Confidential Information of Client and shall not be subject to the exceptions set forth in this Section 5.2.

5.3 Ownership of Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to convey any title or ownership rights to the DevFactory Confidential Information or to any patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret embodied therein, or to grant any other right title, or ownership interest in the DevFactory Confidential Information to Client. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to convey any title or ownership rights to Client’s Confidential Information or to any patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret embodied therein, or to grant any other right, title, or ownership interest in the Client’s Confidential Information to DevFactory. Neither party shall disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the other party’s Confidential Information or permit others to do so. Neither party shall, in whole or in part, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, or disclose the Confidential Information to any third party and shall not copy, reproduce or distribute the Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each party shall take every reasonable precaution, but no less than those precautions used to protect its own Confidential Information, to prevent the theft, disclosure, and the unauthorized copying, reproduction or distribution of the Confidential Information.

5.4 Non-Disclosure. Each party agrees at all times to use all reasonable efforts, but in any case no less than the efforts that each party uses in the protection of its own Confidential Information (as hereinafter

defined) of like value to protect Confidential Information belonging to the other party. Each party agrees to restrict access to the other party’s Confidential Information only to those employees (or in DevFactory’s case, its Subcontractors) who (i) require access in the course of their assigned duties and responsibilities, and (ii) have agreed in writing to be bound by provisions no less restrictive than those set forth in this Section 5.

5.5 Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information would cause the other party imminent irreparable injury and that such party shall be entitled to, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief in the event the other party does not fulfill its obligations under this Section 5.

5.6 Prohibition Against Individual Agreements. Client agrees that no employees or Subcontractors of DevFactory shall be required to individually sign any agreement in order to perform Services hereunder, including but not limited to access agreements, security agreements, facilities agreements or individual confidentiality agreement.

5.7 Affiliates. For the purpose of this entire Section 5 ‘DevFactory’ shall include all its Affiliates.

5.8 Return of Confidential Information. Upon the written request of disclosing party or termination of this Agreement, receiving party shall return or destroy (and certify such destruction in a signed writing) all Confidential Information of disclosing party, including all copies thereof and materials incorporating such Confidential Information, whether in physical or electronic form. Each party may retain a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information solely for archival purposes. To the extent that it is impracticable to return or destroy any Confidential Information, and with respect to any copies retained for archival purposes, receiving party shall continue to maintain the Confidential Information in accordance with this Agreement. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect until such Confidential Information, through no act or omission of receiving party, ceases to be Confidential Information as defined hereunder.

 

6 Client’s Support

6.1 To the extent reasonably required by DevFactory, Client will make available to DevFactory certain of its programs, networks, personnel, and business information as are required to perform any Statement of Work hereunder. DevFactory agrees to comply with Client’s network access rules and regulations regarding safety, security, and conduct provided DevFactory has been made aware of such rules and regulations.

 

7 Warranties

7.1 DevFactory warrants that it has the right to enter into this Agreement and grant the rights and licenses set forth herein, and that all Services performed under this Agreement shall be performed in a workmanlike and professional manner.

7.2 EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND ALL SERVICES, DELIVERABLES, CUSTOMIZATIONS, DOCUMENTATION, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY OR MATERIALS PROVIDED BY DEVFACTORY TO THE CLIENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT.

7.3 CLIENT’S SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE FOREGOING WARRANTY AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY FAILURE OF ANY KIND OF SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES SUBMITTED BY DEVFACTORY SHALL BE (I) TO OBTAIN THE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, AND CORRECTION OF THE DEFECTIVE SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES BY DEVFACTORY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1.4, OR (II) TO OBTAIN A CREDIT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DEFECTIVE SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES WITH SUCH CREDIT TO BE UTILIZED FOR A FUTURE DELIVERABLE (THE “WORK CREDIT”). SHOULD A WORK CREDIT BE ISSUED, IT SHALL BE APPLIED TO THE PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL WORK ABOVE AND BEYOND WORK PERFORMED FOR THE MINIMUM FEE (AS DEFINED IN SCHEDULE A) AND SHALL NOT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, REDUCE PAYMENTS DUE OR PAYABLE TO DEVFACTORY UNDER THE AGREEMENT. THE MINIMUM FEE SHALL BE APPLIED TO ALL WORK PERFORMED BEFORE ANY WORK CREDITS ARE APPLIED, AND UNUSED WORK CREDITS SHALL CARRY OVER TO FUTURE YEARS (“WORK CREDIT BALANCE”). IF CERTAIN TYPES OF SERVICES ARE CONSISTENTLY LEADING TO THE ACCUMULATION OF WORK CREDITS, CLIENT AND DEVFACTORY SHALL WORK TOGETHER IN GOOD FAITH TO ALLOCATE WORK CREDITS TO THE TYPES OF SERVICES THAT CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERED BY DEVFACTORY, PROVIDED THAT CLIENT HAS A NEED FOR SUCH SERVICE (EVEN IF THAT NEED HAD BEEN FULFILLED BY EMPLOYEES OR OTHER PROVIDERS). IF (A) CLIENT HAS APPLIED ITS WORK CREDITS AND SERVICE REQUESTS TO THE RECOMMENDED SERVICES AS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND (B) THE WORK CREDIT BALANCE EXCEEDS 10% OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR’S MINIMUM FEE, AND (C) DEVFACTORY HAS NOT WORKED IN GOOD FAITH UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN THE CURRENT YEAR’S MINIMUM FEE SHALL BE REDUCED BY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WORK CREDIT BALANCE AND 10% OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR’S MINIMUM FEE. THE WORK CREDIT BALANCE SHALL BE REDUCED BY THE SAME AMOUNT.

 

8 Limitation of Liability

8.1 IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, OR ITS SUBCONTRACTORS OR THIRD PARTY LICENSORS BE LIABLE ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN EQUITABLE, LEGAL, OR COMMON LAW ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER FOR CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNITY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, FOR DAMAGES WHICH, IN THE AGGREGATE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CLIENT HEREUNDER FOR THE SERVICES AND/OR DELIVERABLES WHICH GAVE RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES (PROVIDED IN THE RESPECTIVE STATEMENT OF WORK) AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. IN ALL INSTANCES, CLIENT’S SOLE REMEDY AS TO QUALITY OF SERVICES SHALL BE TO SEEK RE-PERFORMANCE OF THE WORK OR A FUTURE WORK CREDIT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.3.

8.2 IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS SUBCONTRACTORS OR THIRD PARTY LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

OF ANY KIND AND HOWEVER CAUSED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. OR GOOD WILL EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY.

8.3 The limitations of liability and exclusion of damages set forth in Sections 8.1 shall not apply to breach of Section 5 or to a party’s indemnification obligations herein.

 

9 Termination

9.1 This Agreement, any license granted herein, and/or any Statement of Work may be terminated prior to expiration or completion in accordance with the following:

 

  9.1.1 By DevFactory by giving prior written notice to Client if Client fails to perform any material obligation required of it hereunder, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days of Client’s receipt of DevFactory’s notice to cure such non-performance of material obligation.

 

  9.1.2 By Client by giving prior written notice to DevFactory if DevFactory fails to perform any material obligation required of it hereunder, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days from DevFactory’s receipt of Client’s notice to cure such non-performance of material obligation.

9.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Client’s rights to any Deliverables not paid for, DevFactory Confidential Information, and other DevFactory materials (except for those DevFactory materials included in Deliverables owned by Client) (all collectively “Materials”) shall cease. Client shall immediately stop using such Materials and shall return such Materials to DevFactory or destroy all copies thereof. In addition, Client shall provide DevFactory with written certification signed by an officer of Client that all copies of the Materials have been returned or destroyed and that no copies have been retained by Client for any purpose whatsoever. Following termination, any use of the Materials by Client shall be an infringement and/or misappropriation of DevFactory’s proprietary rights in the Materials. Upon termination of this Agreement by Client, DevFactory shall have no further obligation or liability hereunder and all fees due under the Agreement shall become due and payable to DevFactory immediately upon such termination. Termination of this Agreement or any license created hereunder shall not limit either party from pursuing other remedies available to it, nor shall such termination relieve Client’s obligation to pay all fees that have accrued or are otherwise owed by Client under this Agreement including, but not limited to, any License schedule, Statement of Work, or exhibit.

 

10 Ownership

10.1 Ownership in Deliverables. By signing this Agreement and subject to Client’s full payment for Services provided and Deliverables created under an applicable Statement of Work, DevFactory acknowledges that, subject to the licenses granted herein, DevFactory has no ownership interest in the Deliverables, or Materials provided to Client.

10.2 Rights to Deliverables. Client hereby grants to DevFactory, a perpetual, royalty free, internal, worldwide, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to the object code and source code versions of the Deliverables to use the code, techniques, strategies and know-how contained in the Deliverables for other projects and development, if and for so long as any Confidential Information of Client incorporated into such Deliverables, are not provided to, or included in any deliverable provided to, any third party.

10.3 Ownership in the event of material breach. Notwithstanding anything provision to the contrary herein (including sections 10.1 and 10.2 above), in the event that there is a termination of this Agreement, or any SOW, as a result of a material breach by Client of this Agreement and/or any such SOW, any and all rights, title and interest in any applicable Deliverables or Materials for which Client has not made full payment shall automatically revert to DevFactory and the Client shall have no ownership rights whatsoever therein. Promptly after notification from DevFactory, the Client shall undertake any and all reasonable actions to assert DevFactory’s right, title and interest in such Deliverables and Materials. In the event of Deliverables or Materials for which partial payment has been made, the parties shall discuss in good faith whether a partial Deliverable or a refund shall be provided to Client.

Client shall be required to obtain any Third Party Rights from the respective third party directly and any rights in the DevFactory Services related to such Third Party Rights shall be subject to Client’s agreement with the respective third party. If any such Third Party Rights are included in the Deliverables by DevFactory, or if DevFactory includes any DevFactory Pre-existing Technology, then DevFactory hereby grants to Client a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to use, copy, market, promote and make derivative works of the foregoing, and to make, have made, sell, have sold, import and export products incorporating any of the foregoing. DevFactory shall consult with Client, and obtain Client’s prior written consent, prior to including any Third Party Rights or DevFactory Pre-existing Technology in any Deliverables.

10.6 Further Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude DevFactory from using in any manner or for any purpose it deems necessary, the know-how, techniques, or procedures acquired or used by DevFactory in the performance of Services hereunder.

 

11 INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 Infringement Indemnity. DevFactory will defend any action brought against Client to the extent that it is based upon a claim

that the Deliverables, as provided by DevFactory to Client under this Agreement and used within the scope of this Agreement, infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual property right of a third party, and will pay any costs, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees attributable to such claim incurred by Client, provided that Client: (a) promptly notifies DevFactory in writing of the claim; (b) grants DevFactory sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provides DevFactory with all reasonable assistance, information and authority required for the defense and settlement of the claim.

11.2 Injunctions.

11.3 Exclusions. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1, DevFactory will have no liability for any infringement claim of any kind to the extent it results from: (a) modification of the Deliverables made other than by DevFactory or DevFactory’s contractors or agents; or (b) compliance by DevFactory with designs, plans or specifications furnished by or on behalf of Client.

In the event that Client is subject to a change in control, at DevFactory’s option and election, the Minimum Fee (as set forth in Schedule A) following such change in control shall become set (without being subject to change thereafter) to the then current Minimum Fee amount in effect at the time of the acquisition.

3. TECHNOLOGY SERVICES FEES AND EXPENSES

In consideration for the preferred access and most favored nation pricing provisions in Section 4 below, the parties agree that Client shall purchase from DevFactory under the Agreement for each calendar year that this Agreement is in effect a dollar amount of Services equal to the Minimum Fee (as defined).

For the purpose of the Agreement and this Schedule A1, the term “Minimum Fee” shall mean, for calendar year 2014, $2,131,750, and for each calendar year thereafter that the Agreement is in effect, the Minimum Fee shall be the immediately preceding calendar year’s Minimum Fee amount increased (or decreased, as the case may be) by such immediately preceding year’s Adjustment Rate.

For the purpose of the Agreement and this Schedule A1, the term “Adjustment Rate” for any calendar year shall mean the amount, stated as a percentage, by which such calendar year’s Total Revenue increased (or decreased, as the case may be) over the immediately preceding calendar year.

For the purpose of the Agreement and this Schedule A1, the term “Total Revenue” shall mean all revenue generated by Client and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and any entity or asset that is otherwise directly or indirectly managed or controlled by Client. Beginning in 2014, Client shall by March 31 of each year deliver to DevFactory (i) Client’s audited financial statements for the immediately preceding calendar year prepared in accordance with GAAP and (II) a calculation of the Minimum Fee for the current calendar year. DevFactory and Client shall within fifteen days after delivery thereof agree upon a final Minimum Fee amount for the current calendar year. Client shall provide DevFactory reasonable access to Client’s financial information to enable its review and to ensure compliance with this provision.

In the event that the actual total fees paid to DevFactory in a given calendar year are less than the applicable Minimum Fee for such calendar year (as set forth above), then upon expiration of such calendar year, Client shall make a payment to DevFactory of an amount equal to the minimum fees less the actual fee paid so as to ensure that no less than the minimum fee is paid to DevFactory in each calendar year.

It is Client’s sole responsibility to solicit the performance of Services via a SOW or by selecting services from DevFactory’s menu of services, following which, DevFactory shall promptly commence providing the Services in accordance with such SOW or Client’s selection.

 

4. PRIORITY AND PRICING

Priority. DevFactory shall grant Client access to the provision of Services in priority to all other DevFactory clients of the same size or smaller except for companies that are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by Joe Liemandt (“Liemandt Companies”). Subject to the prioritization set out in the preceding sentence, DevFactory agrees to work in good faith with Client to balance the resource demands from Liemandt Companies and Client in order to reasonably satisfy the demands of both businesses.

Pricing Provision. The fees in an applicable SOW for specific deliverables shall be materially comparable to or more favorable than the fees that DevFactory is currently offering and will offer to other similarly situated DevFactory clients purchasing the same or substantially similar services in similar volumes except for the Liemandt Companies and shall not be greater than those fees set forth in the pricing sheet dated as of the date hereof, as may be adjusted from time to time consistent with ordinary course price changes applicable to all DevFactory clients generally. DevFactory shall provide Client reasonable access to pricing information to ensure compliance with this pricing provision. For clarity, the parties agree that a violation of the foregoing pricing provision shall not constitute a breach of the Agreement and that the remedy of Client for a DevFactory failure of this pricing provision shall be the issuance by DevFactory of a Work Credit equal to the amount of overpayment by Client.

UPDATED PRICE LIST

 

Service Type

  

Comments

  

Price Per Unit

Tooling    The import of the source code of a product into DevFactory’s (DF) source code system and creation of automated build and test processes for the product.    $156,250/Product
Automated Test Case (ATC) Creation    Creation of modular automated test cases for testing the product functionality.    $625/Test Case
ATC Maintenance    Using the DF infrastructure to execute all the test cases on a daily basis, reporting the results, resolving any failures due to DF infrastructure, and maintaining test cases based on minor UI changes in the product (not functionality changes).    $112.50/Test Case/Quarter
Managed Upgrades    Upgrading a customer from the version of the product they are in to the current version of the product. The effort can be divided into several types depending upon the customization level for a particular customer.    $6,250/Upgrade

Basic

  

This is for a base build customer with no reports or customizations. The customer is on the base build of an older product version. This would involve upgrading the database and verification.

 

Fully automated upgrade scripts will be provided by Upland.

   $625/Upgrade

Medium

  

This is for the base build customers with reports that need to be migrated as well. The customer has no customizations but only reports that need to be migrated and made to work on the new version.

 

Maximum number of reports in a medium upgrade is two, and the maximum number of stored procedures is 2 per report (four total). Medium managed upgrades that contain more than 2 reports may be completed by purchasing multiple medium upgrade orders for that individual managed upgrade.

 

For example, a managed upgrade requiring 10 reports to be migrated would cost five times that of a managed upgrade requiring 2 reports.

   $1,562.50/Upgrade

Complex

  

This is for customers with customizations in the product. This involves making the relevant code changes in the product for the customizations to continue to work after upgrade.

 

Complex upgrades are limited to 2 customizations with 50 test cases in total. The upgrade should be within two consecutive releases.

   $6,250/Upgrade
Tech Stack Migrations    This involves adding support for a new platform that a product isn’t currently supported or certified on. This can be a new technology or a new version of the technology that a product uses.    $312,500 - $468,750
High Performance Team (1:3:1)    This is a high caliber team consisting of 1 Technical Architect, 3 Senior Developers and 1 QA. This team’s work will be directed by the Client’s product team directly on a day to day basis. Requires that the Client has completed tooling for the product and ordered 500 ATCs and committed to DevFactory maintenance of those 500 ATCs (but does not require ATCs to have been delivered to commence deployment of 1:3:1 team). DevFactory will provide 2 teams immediately and increase by 1 per year provided the trailing Adjustment Rate is 20% or greater.    $625,000/year
