Provider shall review information received from Governmental Authorities and Insurers and shall recommend to Company an appropriate response or course of action based on such information. Provider shall alert Company to any comments, requests, questions or guidance from Governmental Authorities or Insurers that it deems in its professional judgment are unusual.

3.5 Meetings. To the extent Provider is required to hold meetings in conjunction with performance of the Services, Provider shall keep written minutes of all such meetings (“Meeting Minutes”).Approvals and decisions made by Company shall be clearly identified in the Meeting Minutes. Within five days of any such meeting, Provider shall submit the Meeting Minutes for such meeting to Company for review, comment and approval. No approval or decision by Company reflected in such Meeting Minutes shall be

5

binding unless Company has approved such Meeting Minutes. In the absence of any comment or question from the Company, such Meeting Minutes shall be deemed approved within two weeks following receipt by the Company thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company’s approval of Meeting Minutes shall not be deemed a Modification without being acknowledged and executed as such by the Company.

4. DELIVERABLES

4.1 Deliverables. In the performance of its obligations hereunder, Provider shall furnish to Company the Deliverables set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation any Deliverables set forth in any Order. Unless otherwise specified, all Deliverables that use units of measurement shall use standard English units, and all Deliverables shall be written in the English language. Originals and copies of Deliverables shall be of the highest quality, legible, clear, full form and readable. Deliverables shall be marked and organized as set forth in each Order.

4.2 Ownership of Work Product. All Work Product, together with any and all intellectual property rights underlying such Work Product, including without limitation all copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret interests, shall be the property of Company whether the Services to be performed are completed or not. Work Product shall constitute a “work made for hire” for Company, as that phrase is defined in Section 101 and 201 of the Copyright Act of 1976 (Title 17, United States Code), including without limitation a work specially commissioned by Company. If and to the extent Provider retains any interest in the Work Product (in whole or in part), Provider hereby grants, assigns and transfers to Company all right, title and interest in and to such Work Product, and all intellectual property rights therein, including without limitation all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other proprietary rights, the right to make and distribute derivative works thereof and the right to all claims for past infringement thereof, and the right to make any modifications, adjustments or additions thereto. Provider hereby expressly waives any droit moral or similar rights to object to any such modifications, adjustments or additions.

Provider shall ensure that, at no cost to Company, all of Provider’s Representatives that contribute to any Work Product have agreed in advance in writing that such contributions constitute a “work made for hire” for Company or Provider, that any interests in such contributions are assigned to Company or Provider, and that they waive any droit moral or similar rights to object to modifications, adjustments or additions to their contributions. If any agreements with any of Provider’s Representatives provide such rights to Provider rather than to Company, Company shall acquire all such rights in such Representatives’ contributions by operation of this Ownership of Work Product provision.

4.3 Use of Work Product. Company and Company’s Representatives may use Work Product, in whole, in part or in modified form, for any purpose without restriction and without further compensation to Provider. Provider or Provider’s Representatives shall not use Work Product for any purposes other than fulfilling Provider’s obligations hereunder without Company’s prior written consent. Submission or distribution of Work Product to meet the requirements of a Governmental Authority or Applicable Laws, or for other purposes in connection with any Project or as requested by Company, is not to be construed as publication in derogation of Company’s rights as set forth in this Agreement or as provided by law.

4.4 Transfer of Work Product. All Work Product and any reproductions thereof shall be surrendered to Company by Provider immediately upon (i) completion of the related portions of Services, or (ii) termination of this Agreement; or within five (5) business days of Company’s written request. Provider shall not retain a copy of any Work Product for any purposes, including without limitation an archive or portfolio, without Company’s prior written consent. Provider shall make all necessary disclosures, execute, acknowledge and deliver all instruments and perform all acts necessary or desired by Company to effectuate the provisions of this Article. In the event Company, after reasonable effort, is unable to obtain a signature of Provider or any of Provider’s Representatives on any document or instrument necessary or desirable to apply for protection of, or to enforce any action with respect to, any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right in or to Work Product, Provider hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Provider’s agent and attorney-in-fact, whose power is expressly coupled with an interest, (i) to act for and on behalf of Provider; (ii) to execute such documents and instruments; and (iii) to take all lawfully

6

permitted actions to protect Company’s interests in any intellectual property right with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Provider.

4.5 Review of Deliverables. Concurrent with furnishing the Deliverables (in either draft or final form) to Company, Provider shall provide Company with such information as may be required or necessary and in such degree of detail to allow Company to review and approve such Deliverables on a fully informed basis. Such review and approval of Deliverables by Company shall not relieve Provider of any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder. No Deliverables, the final forms of which have been approved by Company, shall be changed or revised by the Provider without the written consent of Company.

4.6 Packaging Requirements. Deliverables that are shipped by Provider shall be packaged in accordance with standard commercial practices that meet or exceed Applicable Law, including without limitation the Department of Transportation and the International Air Transport Association requirements, at no additional charge to Company. Provider is solely responsible for damages to such Deliverables resulting from defective packaging, improper packing or marking. Company shall pay the reasonable and actual additional expenses resulting from Company’s request for special packaging, handling, routing or shipping, except when special shipping is required to expedite delivery delayed by Provider. Unless instructed otherwise by Company, Provider shall (i) ship Deliverables complete; (ii) ensure that all packages and documents conspicuously bear the Agreement and applicable Order number; and (iii) enclose a packing slip with each shipment and, when more than one package is shipped, identify the package containing the packing slip.

4.7 Inspection and Testing.

(i) Inspection and Testing by Company. Company shall have the right to inspect and test all Deliverables or portions thereof, and any data pertaining to the fabrication thereof, at reasonable times and places, including without limitation Provider’s and Provider’s Representatives’ facilities. Provider shall promptly furnish samples of Deliverables or portions thereof upon the request of Company.

(ii) Inspection and Testing by Provider. Provider shall submit to Company, for Company’s review and approval, a schedule of inspection and testing of the Deliverables or portions thereof to be conducted by Provider or Provider’s Representatives. Provider shall include in such schedule all inspections and tests that (i) are required by or reasonably inferable from applicable Drawings and Specifications and (ii) industry practice would suggest as required to ensure the quality or performance of the Deliverables or fitness for their intended use. Provider shall submit such schedule no later than twenty business days prior to commencement of any inspections or testing, or at Company’s request. Company shall have the right to observe any such inspection and testing and review any documentation associated therewith at reasonable times and places, including without limitation Provider’s and Provider’s Representatives’ facilities. For those inspections and tests that Company has indicated it intends to observe, Provider shall notify Company in writing at least 20 business days in advance of the date of any such inspection or test. If such inspection or test date is subsequently changed, Provider shall notify Company in writing no later than 10 business days prior to the originally scheduled date.

(iii) Costs of Inspection and Testing. Provider shall promptly reimburse Company for all costs incurred by Company resulting from (a) Provider’s late notice or failure to provide notice of an inspection date; or (b) Company’s attendance at re-inspection or re-testing sessions due to Provider’s lack of readiness for inspection or testing. Deliverables or portions thereof not ready for inspection or testing as required by the Agreement to have been so inspected or tested and specifically included in the notice provided to the Company shall promptly be prepared for such inspection or testing at Provider’s expense. If Provider fails to notify Company in accordance herewith of Provider’s inspection or testing of Deliverables which Company had the right to observe, Provider, at its sole

7

expense, shall do whatever is required to be able to repeat such inspection or testing with Company in attendance.

(iv) Results of Inspection and Testing. Following inspection and testing of the Deliverables or portions thereof, Company may generate a punch list identifying all Deliverables or portions thereof that do not conform to the Agreement which Provider shall be obligated to cure in accordance with the Warranty Corrective Actions provision hereunder.

(v) Final Inspection. Notwithstanding any prior inspection or payment by Company, all Deliverables shall be subject to final inspection by Company to verify the following conditions: (a) the Deliverables conform to the Agreement; and (b)the Deliverables consistently perform as intended under the Agreement without failure or interruption. The foregoing conditions shall constitute warranted conditions that, to the extent found nonconforming, Provider shall be obligated to cure in accordance with the Warranty Corrective Actions provision hereunder. If any Deliverables are determined by Company to be defective or not in conformance with the Agreement, Company may, at its sole option, accept such Deliverables instead of requiring Provider to cure such defect or nonconformity, in which case the Contract Price shall be adjusted as appropriate and equitable by mutual agreement of the Parties, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.

(vi) Final Acceptance. Final acceptance or rejection of the Deliverables shall be made by Company after completion of all inspection and testing of the Deliverables. No inspections or testing conducted by Company, or lack thereof, shall in any way release Provider from any of Provider’s obligations under the Agreement.

5. SUBCONTRACTORS

5.1 Subcontractors. Company shall have the right to approve or reject the subcontracting of certain aspects of Provider’s performance hereunder at any time during the term. Furthermore, Company shall have the right to request the use by Provider of certain Subcontractors. Such approval request or rejection by Company shall not create any liability for Company to any Subcontractor or privity of contract between Company and any such Subcontractor. Furthermore, such approval, request or rejection shall not relieve Provider of its obligations hereunder or constitute a representation or endorsement by Company that such Subcontractor is qualified or capable to perform. Provider shall not voluntarily substitute or replace any Subcontractor approved or specified by Company if Company objects to such substitution or replacement.

Any performance by a Subcontractor in connection with this Agreement shall be pursuant to an appropriate written agreement between Provider and such Subcontractor and shall contain a provision requiring that such performance be in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and identify Company as an intended third party beneficiary that may enforce any warranty and similar rights under such agreement. Each subcontract shall require the Subcontractor, at no cost to Company, to correct such Subcontractor’s performance thereunder not meeting the requirements of the Agreement in a manner substantially similar but in no event to a lesser extent than provided in the Warranty Corrective Actions provision hereunder. Any such subcontract agreement, together with such other relevant information as Company may request, shall be submitted to Company prior to commencement of the Subcontractor’s performance. Company shall have the right, at any time, to negotiate and contract directly with any Subcontractor for any goods or services, including without limitation those to be provided hereunder, but excluding any Subcontractor used by Provider. No agreement between Provider and any Subcontractor shall relieve Provider from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement nor any subcontract shall create any contractual relationship, with the exception of the above-mentioned third party beneficiary, between Company and any Subcontractor including without limitation any obligation on Company’s part to pay, or be responsible for the payment of, any sums to any Subcontractor.

8

Provider shall properly direct and control Subcontractors and inspect Subcontractors’ performance for defects and deficiencies. Provider shall be responsible for (i) all conduct, actions and omissions of Provider’s Representatives; (ii) compliance by each of such Representatives with the requirements of this Agreement to at least the extent that Provider would be responsible if it were performing directly; and (iii) management and coordination of the performance of all such Representatives.

If Company has not approved of Provider’s subcontracting of a portion of the Services but Provider authorizes services to be performed or goods to be provided by a subcontractor in furtherance of Provider’s obligations hereunder, then Provider hereby assumes all risks associated with such subcontracting.

5.2 Affiliates. Provider shall give Company written notice regarding any Subcontractors that are Provider’s Affiliates prior to entering into any agreement with an Affiliate in connection with a Project not otherwise specified in the relevant Order. Any such agreement with an Affiliate of Provider shall be subject to Company’s prior written consent. Any such agreement with an Affiliate shall not exceed market prices, shall limit Affiliate’s profit from such subcontract to a commercially reasonable amount, and shall be considered a Reimbursable Expense hereunder. Company may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cause any such subcontract or supply agreement which Provider proposes to award to an Affiliate to be competitively bid to a minimum of two (2) qualified bidders which are not Provider’s Affiliates.

5.3 Payments to Subcontractors. Provider must promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon the earlier of (i) receipt of payment from Company; or (ii) such time required by Applicable Law, the amount to which such Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to Provider on account of such Subcontractor’s performance. Provider must, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to its sub-subcontractors and suppliers in similar manner. Upon request, Provider shall submit to Company copies of all checks and payments to Provider’s Subcontractors. Should Provider neglect or refuse to cause to be paid promptly any bill or charge legitimately incurred by Provider in support of a Project, Company shall have the right, but not the obligation to, pay such bill or charge directly, and Provider shall immediately reimburse Company for same. If Provider does not so reimburse Company, Company may offset the amount of such bill or charge pursuant to the Offset provision hereunder.

5.4 Notice of Subcontractor Breach. Provider shall provide Company with prompt written notice of all actual or potential disputes with Subcontractors, including, without limitation, breaches, defaults, insolvencies, defects in Subcontractor’s goods or services, and work stoppages. Such notice shall include the reasons and circumstances giving rise to such disputes in such detail so as to enable Company, in its sole discretion, to exercise any of its rights or remedies against such Subcontractor or to require Provider to obtain Company’s prior written approval of any settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the provisions of this Section nor the exercise by Company of any of its rights or remedies shall relieve Provider of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. Failure of Provider to submit notice of any such dispute shall constitute a waiver by Provider of a claim for any adjustment to the Schedule or the Compensation resulting from such dispute; provided, however, the foregoing shall not imply that Provider is entitled to a Change Order or any adjustment to the Compensation or the Schedule as a result of any breach by any Subcontractor.

6. ORDERS

6.1 Order Required. The execution of this Agreement alone, in the absence of any duly executed Order, shall neither create any obligation of Provider to perform hereunder nor any obligation of Company to give Provider any Compensation. Any actions taken or not taken by Provider in anticipation of execution of this Agreement or any Order are taken at its sole risk and expense. Any estimate or forecast by Company of goods or services that may be furnished by Provider before or during the Term does not constitute a commitment of any kind. Prior to the issuance of any Order by Company, Company may request that Provider submit to Company a written proposal for a proposed project (“Proposal”). Upon receipt of Company’s request for a Proposal, Provider shall provide Company with such Proposal within

9

five (5) business days; provided, however, if Provider reasonably requires additional time to prepare a Proposal, Provider may request Company to agree to an extension of the deadline for the submission of a Proposal.

6.2 Order Placement and Acceptance. Provider will perform Services and provide Software on a project-by-project basis pursuant to Orders issued during the Term. Each Order shall define the Project and establish the specific scope of Services that Provider shall undertake and identify the specific Software that Provider shall supply, as well as any special terms and conditions associated therewith. All Orders issued hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Provider shall promptly execute and return any Order issued by Company hereunder to evidence Provider’s acceptance of such Order and the terms set forth therein. Without limiting Company’s remedies, Company may withdraw an Order or defer the commencement of performance under such Order and/or the payment of Compensation thereunder, unless and until Provider has executed and delivered an original counterpart of the Order to Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Provider’s acknowledgment, receipt, or commencement of performance of any obligations under an Order is deemed an acceptance of that Order in accordance with the terms contained in that Order and this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in any Order, the Agreement shall govern. However, to the extent that such conflict is with respect to the level of quality or performance, the document providing for the highest standard of quality and performance will control and, to the extent that such conflict is with respect to quantity, the document providing for the greatest quantity will control. No other terms, including without limitation any terms or conditions set forth in any document issued by Provider, are effective unless accepted by Company in writing.

6.3 Change Orders. Company may on any Project, at any time, make changes to the Project or Provider’s performance hereunder, in each case as Company deems necessary (“Change Order”). Any such Change Order shall be in writing and signed by Company.

If Provider believes that the change is inequitable as to Compensation or Schedule, Provider must submit within 10 days after receipt of a Change Order a written request to Company providing a detailed explanation of and reasons for any proposed adjustments to Compensation or Schedule, accompanied by adequate supporting documentation. If Company does not receive such a request in accordance with this Article, Provider shall be deemed to have waived its right to make such request. Provider shall meet its obligations under this Agreement while such request is pending and the parties shall work in good faith to agree on the terms and scope of such Change Order.

7. CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

7.1 Ambiguities, Conflicts or Discrepancies. Anything set forth in the Specifications and not in the Drawings, or in Drawings and not in Specifications, shall be deemed to be set forth in both and shall not be considered a conflict. Upon Provider’s discovery of any ambiguities, conflicts or discrepancies in this Agreement, Provider shall immediately notify Company in writing of such ambiguities, conflicts or discrepancies and in such notification offer recommendations as to how such ambiguities, conflicts or discrepancies may be resolved. Such notice shall provide an analysis of the potential impact, if any, on cost and Schedule of implementing each such recommendation. Provider must obtain Company’s written clarification and direction prior to proceeding with the performance of its obligations hereunder affected by such ambiguities, conflicts or discrepancies. Any of the Provider’s performance hereunder affected by such ambiguities, conflicts or discrepancies that is performed prior to receipt of Company’s written clarification and direction shall be at Provider’s risk. All determinations or clarifications by Company will be final and binding upon Provider unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been fraudulent, capricious or so grossly erroneous as necessarily to imply bad faith. At all times pending resolution, Provider shall proceed with the performance of its obligations hereunder.

7.2 Audit. Provider shall maintain complete and correct books and records relating to the performance of all of its obligations hereunder and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred hereunder, including without limitation those relating to the Compensation. All records and accounts relating to

10

financial matters must be in a format consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Practices. Such books and records shall be maintained for a period of no less than seven years after the termination hereof. Such books and records shall be made available to Company and Company’s Representatives for copy, review, audit and other business purposes at such reasonable times and places during this period. Company’s audit rights shall not include the right to audit the makeup of fixed price costs or fixed rates agreed upon by Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all costs associated with such maintenance shall be Provider’s sole expense and shall not be a Reimbursable Expense hereunder. Should Provider fail to maintain such books and records as required hereunder, Provider shall provide its good faith assistance and reimburse Company for its reasonable costs in recreating such books and records. In the event that any audit by Company reveals any overpayment by Company, then Provider shall repay to Company the overpaid amount upon Company’s written demand therefor. Company’s performance of an audit and Provider’s repayment of any overpaid amounts shall not limit any of Company’s rights and remedies with respect to such overpaid amounts or Provider’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, all of which rights and remedies are reserved by Company. Provider shall cause the provisions of this Article to be incorporated in the provisions of each Subcontractor agreement.

8. TIME AND SCHEDULE

8.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all of Provider’s obligations under this Agreement. Provider will review the various Schedule requirements prior to acceptance and execution of this Agreement, any Order, and any Change Order. Execution of this Agreement, any Order, and any Modification shall constitute Provider’s representation and warranty that Provider is fully capable of performing, and will perform, the applicable obligations in accordance with the Schedule set forth in the Agreement

8.2 Commencement. Provider shall commence fulfillment of its obligations under an Order upon the effective date of such Order unless otherwise specified by Company.

8.3 Schedule. Provider shall develop and submit to Company within 10 days of the effective date of an Order a detailed Schedule for that Order based on Company’s requirements and Provider’s obligations thereunder. The Schedule shall indicate the timing of the performance of such obligations, including without limitation commencement, submission of Deliverables, milestones, meeting dates and completion. The Schedule shall include without limitation time for necessary bidding (if any), reviews, revisions, applications to Governmental Authorities, and required approvals. Provider shall not exceed the dates set forth in the Schedule.

8.4 Suspension. Company may, at any time, by written notice to Provider, suspend all or any portion of Provider’s performance hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice, Provider shall do the following, unless the notice requires otherwise:

(i) Immediately discontinue such performance on the date and to the extent specified in the notice;

(ii) Incur no further obligations, including without limitation placement of orders or subcontracts for material, services or facilities, with respect to the suspended performance;

(iii) Promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain suspension or assignment to Company or Company’s designee, upon terms satisfactory to Company, of all obligations, including without limitation orders or subcontracts, to the extent such relate to the performance of such suspended performance;

(iv) Protect and maintain any materials and supplies utilized in such performance, and any work completed or in progress; and

11

(v) Mitigate costs associated with any such suspension.

Within 30 days of the effective date of any suspension by Company, Provider shall submit an itemization of expense and time expended through the effective date of the suspension, together with cost, pricing, or other documents or data required by Company. Suspensions may only be withdrawn by written notice from Company, specifying the effective date and scope of the withdrawal. Provider must immediately resume performance unless otherwise specified in such notice. If Provider believes that an adjustment to the Compensation or the Schedule is justified as a result of the suspension or withdrawal of suspension, such suspension or withdrawal of suspension shall constitute a Change Order and Provider must request such adjustment in accordance with the Change Order provisions hereunder. Except to the extent provided for in any such Change Order, Company shall have no liability to Provider for or arising out of the suspension or withdrawal of suspension, including without limitation damages, lost profits, incidental costs, or penalties. Both parties shall work together in good faith to agree on such Change Orders.

8.5 Acceleration of Performance. Provider shall notify Company immediately upon determining that it may be unable to meet the Schedule, in whole or in part. Additionally, Company may inform Provider that Company has determined, in its reasonable judgment, that Provider may be unable to meet the Schedule, in whole or in part. Within two days of such notice or information, Provider shall submit to Company a proposed action plan to ensure compliance with the Schedule. If Company determines in its reasonable judgment that such action plan will not ensure compliance with the Schedule, Company may direct Provider to take steps reasonably necessary to accelerate its performance. If Provider believes that an adjustment to the Compensation is justified as a result of such acceleration, such acceleration shall constitute a Change Order and Provider must request such adjustment in accordance with the Change Order provisions hereunder. Except to the extent provided for in any such Change Order, Company shall have no liability to Provider for or arising out of the acceleration, including without limitation damages, lost profits, incidental costs, or penalties. If, within a reasonable period as determined by Company, Provider fails (i) to provide an action plan for accelerating and improving performance to meet the Schedule; or (ii) to diligently proceed to accelerate performance in accordance with such action plan, Company may take whatever actions it deems appropriate to meet the Schedule. No actions taken by Company under this Section shall relieve Provider of its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation meeting the Schedule; for clarification purposes, Provider shall in no way be responsible for actions or omissions of Company or any service provider hired by Company.

8.6 Remedies for Failure to Timely Perform. Provider acknowledges that in the event Provider fails to timely perform under this Agreement, Company will suffer substantial damages, costs and expenses by reason of such failure of performance. Therefore, Provider agrees that Company delay its next relevant milestone payment specified in any Order (any such payment, a “Milestone Payment”) until completion, if any, of the relevant milestone by Provider.

12

direct, indirect, special or consequential damages, lost profits, penalties or costs arising out of any termination for convenience.

9.4 Termination for Cause. Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, including any outstanding Order, by written notice to Provider at any time if (i) Provider shall fail to perform any material covenant, warranty or obligation hereunder, after having received notification by Company with respect to such failure, and such failure has not been remedied within 60 days days of receipt of such notification; (ii) Provider’s actions or omissions are counter to the material provisions or intent of this Agreement; (iii) any material representation or other statement of fact by Provider set forth in this Agreement shall prove to have been untrue when made; (iv) upon Company’s reasonable request, Provider fails to furnish Company with assurances reasonably satisfactory to Company evidencing Provider’s ability to complete its obligations hereunder in compliance with all of the material requirements of this Agreement; (v) Provider makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or a petition in bankruptcy is filed by or against Provider, or a receiver shall be appointed on account of Provider’s insolvency, and (vi) there is a material adverse change in the Provider’s business, financial condition or prospects which in the Company’s reasonable judgment may result in a delay in the performance of Provider’s obligations hereunder, or a reduction in the quality of such performance.

In the event Company terminates this Agreement or any Order for cause, Provider shall return to Company any payment it received for the Software and Services provided under any terminated Order(s) pro-rated from the effective date of termination. The pro-ration shall be calculated as if the full term was three (3) years. Upon any termination, Company shall destroy the Software together with all copies or modifications in any form. Upon any termination, Company shall no longer be liable for any committed but unused and unpaid Services. In the event of termination for cause, without prejudice to other rights or remedies, Company may complete performance of Provider’s Service obligations hereunder by whatever method Company deems appropriate. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any direct, indirect, special or consequential damages, lost profits, penalties or costs arising out of any termination for cause.

9.6 No Actual Default. If, after termination for cause under this Article, it is determined for any reason that Provider was not in default, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if the notice of termination had been issued as a termination for convenience under this Article.

9.7 Obligations of Provider Upon Termination. Upon receipt of notice of termination, Provider shall do the following unless otherwise specified by Company:

(i) Incur no further obligations, including without limitation placement of orders or subcontracts for material, services or facilities;

On the date of termination, Provider shall (i) turn over any remaining Deliverables in accordance with Company’s instructions; and (ii) discontinue, and cause any of Provider’s Representatives to discontinue, performance hereunder to the extent specified in the notice. No later than 30 days following the date of termination for convenience of this entire Agreement, Provider shall deliver to Company a complete invoice reflecting unpaid Compensation, if any, payable for actual performance of its obligations hereunder up to the date of termination. Failure of Provider to submit such complete invoice in accordance herewith and with the invoice requirements hereunder shall constitute a waiver by Provider of a claim for any compensation not paid by Company prior to the date of termination.

16

Amounts listed in an invoice shall specify the amounts actually incurred in the currency in which such amounts were incurred. Company may require additional information for any amounts stated on an invoice, including without limitation evidence that all parties furnishing labor or materials to Provider in connection with the performance of Provider’s obligations hereunder have been paid. Provider shall respond to Company’s request for additional information in connection with an invoice promptly, but in no event any later than two (2) business days after delivery of Company’s request therefor; provided, however, if Provider reasonably requires additional time to respond to Company’s request for information, Provider may request Company to agree to an extension of the above deadline.

Company may request that Provider submit at times other than those specified herein an invoice for portions of the Compensation that have not yet been invoiced but represent amounts payable for actual performance of Provider’s obligations hereunder. When Company makes such a request, Provider shall deliver to Company a complete invoice reflecting such portions of the Compensation, if any, believed by Provider to be payable. Provider shall deliver such invoice by the deadline identified in Company’s request therefore and, if no deadline is specified in Company’s request, then no later than 30 days following the date of receipt of Company’s request. Failure of Provider to submit such complete invoice in accordance herewith and with the invoice requirements hereunder shall constitute a waiver by Provider of a claim for any compensation not paid by Company prior to the date of the request.

If Company disputes an amount stated in an invoice, Company will notify Provider in writing of the dispute and the basis therefor. Upon receipt of such notification, Provider shall submit a revised invoice stating only undisputed amounts. Such revised invoice shall in no way constitute consent of Provider to waive any amounts remaining under dispute. Upon resolution of disputed amounts, Provider shall submit an invoice pursuant to this Article for the amounts that the Parties mutually agree are no longer in dispute. Following receipt of an invoice stating only undisputed amounts (“Correct Invoice”), Company will pay Provider such amounts in accordance with this Article. Payment by Company does not constitute acceptance of the Provider’s performance hereunder or an admission of liability.

12.2 Timing of Payments. Company shall apply a one-half percent discount to the total amount of a Correct Invoice if Company’s payment is made within 15 days after Company’s receipt of such Correct Invoice; otherwise, payment terms shall be net 45 after Company’s receipt of such Correct Invoice. Company, at its sole option unless agreed to otherwise, may make payment to Provider in the currency in which such amounts were incurred by Provider. Company shall have no obligation to pay Provider any amounts stated on an invoice other than a Correct Invoice. A late fee will be charged to Company in an amount equal to the lesser of one-half percent per month or the maximum rate permitted by law on any delinquent amount from the date due until the date actually paid.

12.3 Security Interest.

Upon Company’s request, Provider shall execute a written security agreement and financing statement that grants the foregoing security interest to Company in form and content satisfactory to Company.

12.4 Withholding Payment. Company may, in whole or in part, decline to approve any request for payment hereunder, withhold or offset against any payment or, due to subsequently discovered evidence or inspection, nullify any payment previously made to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to protect Company from loss due to Provider’s failure to meet its material obligations hereunder. The conditions or occurrences for which Company may withhold or offset against any payment include without limitation the following: (i) such invoices for excessive man-hours relative to the corresponding portion of Provider’s performance hereunder; (ii) third party claims have been filed or reasonable evidence exists indicating the probable filing of such claims for which Provider would be responsible pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) Provider has failed to properly make payments to Subcontractors, if any; or (iv) if Company elects to provide insurance to Provider pursuant to the Insurance Appendix attached hereto, any fines or judgments are assessed by the administrator of such insurance because of the failure of Provider or its Subcontractors, if any, to follow the procedures set forth in the Insurance Appendix. If,

17

through subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent observations, Company becomes aware that it could have withheld approval and payment (but did not), Company also reserves the right to deduct from later invoices or obtain a credit from Provider for such amount. The provisions of this Section shall not lessen or diminish, but shall be in addition to, the right or duty of Company to withhold payments under the provisions of Applicable Law respecting the withholding of sums due to Provider.

13. GOVERNMENT

Each party shall notify the other of any changes or anticipated changes in Applicable Laws of which the former is aware or should be aware, the impact of such changes on performance of each party’s obligations hereunder and the intent of the Agreement, and recommendations for modifications to such performance subject to Company’s approval pursuant to a Change Order.

Failure or refusal to provide the requisite Background Check Certification Forms, or submission of a Background Check Certification Form without having performed the requisite background check, shall constitute a breach hereunder for which Company may terminate this Agreement immediately for default notwithstanding any right of Provider to cure.

15.5 Removal of Personnel. Company may, in its sole discretion, require the removal from its premises of any objectionable Provider’s Representative. If necessary for the performance hereunder, such Provider’s Representative shall be replaced promptly and at no extra expense to Company.

Subject to the terms of Section 17A above, Provider shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company and any parent, subsidiary or sibling entity of Company and their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (“Indemnified Parties”)from and against any and all suits, actions, legal or administrative proceedings, claims, liens, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, fees, penalties, fines and expenses (including without limitation first-party losses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and costs of investigation, litigation, settlement, and judgment) (“Claims”),directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions of Provider and Provider’s Representatives or anyone for whose acts they may be responsible, including without limitation Claims arising out of or connected with (i) the actual breach of Provider’s representations, warranties or covenants contained herein; (ii) income tax withholding, employment taxes, contributions, and accounting services related to any tax inquiry; (iii) unlawful discrimination or other employment-related issues including without limitation employment benefits, Provider’s actual or alleged

24

Provider shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Claims based upon an alleged or actual violation or infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret or other legally protected proprietary right relating to the use, including without limitation sale, transfer or other disposition, of any Deliverables (“Infringement Claim”).If any Deliverables are the subject of an Infringement Claim, such use of any such Deliverables is enjoined in connection with an Infringement Claim, or in Company’s or Provider’s opinion any Deliverables are likely to become the subject of an Infringement Claim, then Provider, at its sole expense, must timely undertake to procure for Company the right to continue such use of such Deliverables. If such right cannot be timely procured on terms and conditions acceptable to Company in Company’s sole discretion, Provider must, at Provider’s sole expense and without limiting any of Company’s other rights or remedies hereunder, do the following: (i) modify such Deliverables to render them non-infringing, but functionally equivalent subject to Company’s acceptance of such modified Deliverables in Company’s sole discretion; (ii) substitute such Deliverables with replacements that are non-infringing, but functionally equivalent subject to Company’s acceptance of such substitute Deliverable in its sole discretion; or (iii) if Provider using Provider’s best efforts is unable to accomplish item (i) or (ii) above, refund to Company amounts actually paid by Company for such Deliverables.

21.3 Defense and Resolution of Claim. Provider, at its expense, shall assume control of the defense and resolution of each Claim using legal counsel approved by Company and keep Company fully and timely informed of the progress of such defense and resolution. With respect to each Claim, Company shall have the right to retain independent legal counsel and monitor such Claim’s defense and resolution. Provider and its legal counsel shall fully cooperate with Company and its legal counsel in providing such information as they may request. If both Provider and Company are named parties in any Claim and representation of both Provider and Company by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them, then Company, at Provider’s expense, shall have the right to be represented by separate counsel of Company’s choosing. If Company, in its sole discretion, determines that Provider has failed to (i) defend a Claim to Company’s satisfaction or (ii) take timely and reasonable steps to resolve a Claim, Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume control of the defense and resolution of such Claim, and Provider shall be bound by the results obtained by Company with respect to the Claim. Provider shall not confess judgment or settle, compromise or resolve any Claim without the written consent of Company.

21.4 Reimbursement. Provider shall immediately reimburse Company all amounts paid by Company with respect to any Claim, including without limitation the following:

(i) Any amount paid by Company for Deliverables the use of which, including without limitation sale, transfer or other disposition, is enjoined in connection with such Claim;

(ii) Any costs, fees, penalties, fines and expenses, including without limitation first-party losses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and costs of investigation, litigation, settlement, and judgments; and

(iii) Any payment made to a claimant with respect to the Claim before resolution of the Claim or completion of legal proceedings if Company, in its sole discretion, determines that Provider has failed to defend such Claim to Company’s satisfaction or take timely and reasonable steps to resolve such Claim.

25

21.5 Third-Party Liens. Provider must promptly pay for its purchase of all goods and services utilized directly or indirectly in the performance of its obligations hereunder. If a lien affecting any of Company’s rights is filed by any third-party provider of goods or services purchased by Provider, Provider must remove the lien within 10 days of notice of lien or of written demand from Company, whichever is earlier. If Provider fails to remove the lien, Company may: (i) pay the amount of the lien; (ii) bond the removal of the lien; or (iii) take any other step necessary to remove the lien. Provider shall immediately reimburse Company for the cost of removal of any such lien, including without limitation all attorneys’ fees and costs, upon receipt of written demand from Company. If Provider fails to reimburse Company, Company may back charge or withhold the cost of removal, including without limitation all attorneys’ fees and costs, from any amount that Company may be required to pay to Provider for performance of its obligations hereunder.

Provider shall coordinate its performance hereunder and Deliverables with the services of such other providers so as to ensure successful completion of the Project, including without limitation providing cooperation and information to and attending meetings with such other providers for the successful implementation of their services in connection with the Project. To the extent expressly included in Provider’s obligations hereunder or reasonably inferable therefrom, Provider shall coordinate such other services as though such services were performed by Provider. Any performance by Company or other providers shall not, in and of itself, be grounds for a delay claim by Provider or a request by Provider for an extension of the Schedule or additional compensation.

24.4 Standards and Codes. References in this Agreement to standards or codes in accordance with which Provider is to perform its obligations hereunder are to the edition or revision of the standards or codes current on the effective date of the Order and shall apply unless otherwise expressly stated.

Any attempt by Provider to assign or delegate this Agreement, in whole or in part, without Company’s prior written consent, shall be deemed a default hereunder and such assignment or delegation shall be voidable at the option of Company. Company may assign this Agreement at any time without the prior consent of Provider. Any assignment of Provider’s obligations hereunder by operation of law, order of any court, or pursuant to any plan of merger, consolidation or liquidation, shall be deemed an assignment for which prior written consent of Company is required and any such assignment made without any such consent shall be voidable at the option of Company.

None of the terms of this Agreement may be waived except by an express agreement in writing signed by Company. The failure or delay of Company in enforcing any of its rights under this Agreement shall not be deemed a continuing waiver of such right. The waiver of one breach hereunder shall not constitute the waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

24.12 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law under which this Agreement is to be construed or if any such provision is held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by a competent authority, such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with Applicable Law. The legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

24.13 Survival. Provider’s obligations under any provisions set forth in this Agreement related to ownership of Deliverables, confidentiality, publicity, governing law and indemnification or which contemplate performance or observance subsequent to termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive such expiration or termination.

24.16 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement is entered into solely between, and may be enforced only by, Company and Provider; and (ii) this Agreement shall not be deemed to create any rights in third parties, including without limitation Subcontractors, or to create any obligations of a Party to any such third parties.

24.17 Remedies Cumulative. Unless otherwise expressly provided hereunder, no remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, whenever possible, be cumulative, in addition to, and not in lieu of any other remedies available at law or in equity.

24.18 Headings. Article and Section headings are for reference purposes only and shall not be considered in the construing of this Agreement.

24.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document, binding on all Parties notwithstanding that each of the Parties may have signed different counterparts.

24.20 Construction. The Parties acknowledge that each Party is of equal bargaining strength, has actively participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. Each Party is entering into this Agreement on its own free will and is not acting under duress or coercion of any kind or nature whatsoever. Each Party has had the right and opportunity to consult with legal counsel of its choice in connection with this Agreement; and each Party has either done so, or has voluntarily declined to do so free from duress or coercion. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement, any portion hereof, or any Modifications hereto.

24.21 Precedence. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in any document, order or invoice issued by Provider or Provider’s Representatives in connection with this Agreement, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement will control. Provider must notify Company immediately of any such conflicts. No subcontract shall alter the intent of this Agreement. Where conflicts occur between the subcontractor agreements and this Agreement and such conflicts regard the quantity or quality of goods or services, unless otherwise specified by Company in writing, the greatest quantify and highest quality shall govern at no additional cost to Company. With respect to any other conflicts between any subcontractor agreement and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

24.22 Interpretation. The words “as shown”, “as indicated”, “as detailed” and words of like import, unless clearly indicated otherwise, reflect the intent that all obligations herein shall be performed in accordance with this Agreement. The words “hereby”, “herein”, “hereunder” and words of like import, unless clearly indicated otherwise, shall refer to the contents of this Agreement. The words “days” shall mean calendar days unless otherwise specified. Where the context of the Agreement so requires, the use of the neutral gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders, and the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa. Multiple events, any one of which may not be deemed “substantial”, “significant” or “material” by itself, shall be deemed “substantial”, “significant” or “material” under this Agreement if such multiple events, when considered collectively, would constitute a substantial, significant or material event. Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, words that have well-known technical or industry meanings are used in the Agreement in accordance with such recognized meanings. A requirement in the Agreement that a submittal, including without limitation a Deliverable, is subject to Company’s approval, acceptance, review or comment or words of like import, means that Provider must, prior to implementing any action called for by the submittal, transmit to Company and obtain resolution of any differences in understanding or interpretation, obtain any clarifications and receive the authorization to proceed with the action.

29

Whenever the Agreement requires Provider to perform at Provider’s expense without cost to Company or at Provider’s cost, or words of like import, it is clearly the intent that Provider shall not be entitled to any compensation other than the Compensation expressly provided for in the Agreement.

24.23 Offset. Each party hereto, without waiver or limitation of any other rights or remedies, shall be entitled to deduct any and all amounts owed to it by the other party from any amounts due or owing by the former to the latter in connection with this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, the authorized representatives of the Parties have executed this Agreement.
