Each Service Provider shall act under this Agreement solely as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of any other Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates, provided any Service Provider other than NantWorks shall perform the applicable Services on behalf of NantWorks.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each of the Company and NantWorks shall retain all right, title and interest in and to their respective Intellectual Property and any and all improvements, modifications and derivative works thereof.

2

or jointly with others, in the course of performing the Services, whether or not eligible for patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other legal protection. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Party (or its Affiliates) shall have any rights or licenses with respect to any Intellectual Property of the other Party. All rights and licenses not expressly granted in this Agreement are expressly reserved by the relevant Party. Each Party shall from time to time execute any documents and take any other actions reasonably requested by the other Party to effectuate the intent of this Section 3.01(b).

Section 3.02. Payments. In consideration of the Services to be rendered hereunder, the Company shall compensate NantWorks in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto. Each month, NantWorks shall deliver an invoice to the Company for Services provided to the Company or its subsidiaries during the preceding month, and each such invoice shall set forth a brief description of each such Service and the calculation of the amounts charged for such Service (the “Service Costs”). Payment with respect to undisputed portions of an invoice shall be due thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of an invoice.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES TO BE PURCHASED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Section 3.04. Taxes. NantWorks acknowledges and agrees that it shall be NantWorks’ obligation to report as income all compensation received by NantWorks pursuant to this Agreement and to pay any withholding taxes, self-employment taxes, and social security, unemployment or disability insurance or similar items, including interest and penalties thereon, in connection with any payments made to NantWorks by the Company hereunder.

Section 3.05. Use of Services. The Company shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, resell any Services to any person whatsoever or permit the use of the Services by any person other than in connection with the conduct of its business.

ARTICLE IV

FORCE MAJEURE

No Service Provider shall be liable for any expense, loss or damage whatsoever arising out of any interruption of Service or delay or failure to perform under this Agreement that is due to acts of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of terrorism, acts of a nation or any state, territory, province or other political division thereof, fires, floods, epidemics, riots, theft, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes or other similar causes beyond the reasonable control of such Service Provider. In any such event, any Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement shall be postponed for such time as its performance is suspended or delayed on account thereof. Each Service Provider will promptly notify the Company upon learning of the occurrence of such event of force majeure. Upon the cessation of the force majeure event, such Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume, or to cause any other relevant Service Provider to resume, its performance with the least practicable delay.

ARTICLE V

LIABILITIES

Section 5.01. Punitive and Other Damages. None of NantWorks or any other of the Service Providers shall be liable to the Company or any of its Affiliates or their employees, agents, members, managers, officers and directors (collectively, “Representatives”), whether in contract, tort (including

3

negligence and strict liability) or otherwise for any punitive damages whatsoever which in any way arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of, the performance or nonperformance by any Service Provider (including Affiliates and third-party Service Providers providing services) hereunder or the provision of, or failure to provide, any Service hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of NantWorks or any other of the Service Providers shall be liable to the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliate’s Representatives for an amount in excess of the total Service Costs paid by the Company hereunder.

Section 5.02. Obligation To Reperform. In the event of any breach of this Agreement by any Service Provider with respect to any error, defect or breach (which breach Service Provider can reasonably be expected to reperform in a commercially reasonable manner) in the provision of any Service, the Service Provider shall, and NantWorks shall cause the Service Provider to, promptly correct such error, defect or breach or reperform such Service at the request of the Company to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and at the expense of the Service Provider. To be effective, any such request for performance by the Company must be in writing that specifies in reasonable detail the particular error, defect or breach and be made no more than one month from the later of the date such Service was provided or the date the Company became aware of the error, defect or breach in question.

Section 5.03. Release and Indemnity. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby releases each Service Provider and each of its Representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnitees, from and against any and all claims, demands, complaints, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (“Damages”) arising from, relating to or in connection with the use of any Service by the Company or any of its Affiliates or any other Person using such Service, except to the extent that such liability arises out of, relates to or is a consequence of any of Indemnitee’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.

Section 5.04. NantWorks Indemnity. NantWorks hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its subsidiaries, from and against any and all Damages arising from, relating to or in connection with the use of any Service by the Company or any of the Receiving Parties or any other Person using such Service or in connection with the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Service provided under or covered by this Agreement to the extent that such Damages arise out of, relate to or is a consequence of NantWorks or any other of the Service Providers’ bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 5.05. Remedies. The Parties agree that monetary damages will not adequately compensate either party for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Because the breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable injury to the aggrieved Party, such aggrieved Party shall be entitled to any legal or equitable remedies to enforce such provisions, including specific performance. In all cases, the aggrieved Party shall also be entitled to pursue any other remedies available at law, including damages, as a result of any such breach.

ARTICLE VI

TERMINATION

Section 6.01. Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of any Service Provider to provide or cause to be provided any Service shall cease on the earliest to occur of the date on which (a) the Company procures such Service from another party, (b) the Company notifies NantWorks in writing that it is able to provide such Service for itself and will discontinue taking such Service, or (c) such Service is terminated by any Party in accordance with the terms of Section 6.02. Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, after any termination of a Service in

4

accordance with the preceding sentence, NantWorks shall not be obligated to reinstate such Service at a time subsequent to the effective date of such termination. This Agreement shall terminate, and all provisions of this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions set forth in Section 6.04, on the date on which no Service Provider has any obligation to provide any Service under this Agreement.

Section 6.02. Breach of Agreement. Subject to Article IV, in the event of a material breach by any Service Provider or the Company of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, including any failure by the Company to make payments to NantWorks when due, which breach is not cured in all material respects within 60 days after written notice of such breach is provided by the non-breaching Party, the non-breaching Party may terminate (i) this Agreement immediately if such breach results from the Company’s failure to make any payments under this Agreement when due and (ii) the Service with respect to which such breach has occurred, in each case by providing written notice of such termination; provided, however, that if such failure or dispute relates to a dispute contested in good faith, the non- breaching party may not terminate this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute.

Section 6.03. Sums Due. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, the Service Providers shall be entitled to the immediate payment of, and the Company shall within 10 days, pay to NantWorks, all accrued amounts for Services and any other amounts due under this Agreement as of the date of termination (other than in the case of termination by the Company for breach under

Section 6.02(ii) amounts in respect of the Services with respect to which such breach has occurred).

Section 6.04. Effect of Termination. Sections 3.01(b), 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 and 6.03, this Section 6.04 and Article I, Article V and Article VII shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
