NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Consultant and Client agree as follows:

1. Services. Consultant shall provide to Client the consulting services in exchange for payment of fees (the “Services”) as set out in one or more statements of work to be issued by Client and accepted by Consultant upon Consultant’s execution thereof (each, a “Statement of Work”). The initial accepted Statement of Work is attached here as Schedule A.  Additional Statements of Work shall be deemed issued and accepted only if signed by Consultant or the Consultant Contract Manager and Client or the Client Contract Manager, appointed pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and Section 3.1, respectively.
2. Consultant Obligations. Consultant shall:
   1. Designate employees or contractors that it determines, in its sole discretion, to be capable of filling the following positions:
      1. A primary contact to act as its authorized representative with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement (the “Consultant Contract Manager”).
      2. A number of employees, subcontractors or agents that it deems sufficient to perform the Services set out in each Statement of Work, (collectively, with the Consultant Contract Manager, “Consultant Representatives”).
   2. Retain sole discretion to change or modify any Consultant Representatives utilized to perform the Services without notice to or consent of Client.
   3. At the reasonable request of Client, Consultant shall use reasonable efforts to appoint a replacement Consultant Representative at the earliest time it determines to be commercially viable.
3. Client Obligations. Client shall:
   1. Designate one of its employees or agents to serve as its primary contact with respect to this Agreement and to act as its authorized representative with respect to matters pertaining to this Agreement (the “Client Contract Manager”), with such designation to remain in force unless and until a successor Client Contract Manager is appointed.
   2. Require that the Client Contract Manager respond promptly to any reasonable requests from Consultant for instructions, information or approvals required by Consultant to provide the Services.
   3. Cooperate with Consultant in its performance of the Services and provide access to Client’s premises, employees and equipment as necessary to enable Consultant to provide the Services.
   4. Take all steps necessary, including obtaining any required licenses or consents, to prevent Client-caused delays in Consultant’s provision of the Services.
4. Fees and Expenses.
   1. In consideration of the provision of the Services by the Consultant and the rights granted to Client under this Agreement, Client shall pay the fees set out in the applicable Statement of Work. Payment to Consultant of such fees and the reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section 4 shall constitute payment in full for the performance of the Services. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Statement of Work, said fee will be payable within 30 days of the date on the invoice sent to Client from Consultant.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all monetary amounts referred in this Agreement are in USD (US Dollars).
   2. Client shall reimburse Consultant for all reasonable expenses incurred in accordance with the Statement of Work, within 30 days of the date on the invoice sent to Client from Consultant accompanied by receipts and reasonable supporting documentation.
   3. Client shall be responsible for all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Client hereunder; provided, that, in no event shall Client pay or be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Consultant’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or real or personal property or other assets.
   4. Except for invoiced payments that the Client has successfully disputed, all late payments, including late payments as provided in Section 4.5, shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 20% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Client shall also reimburse Consultant for all reasonable costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees.  In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or at law (which Consultant does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Consultant shall be entitled to suspend the provision of any Services if the Client fails to pay any undisputed amounts/fees when due hereunder and such failure continues for 15 days following written notice thereof.
5. Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liability.
   1. Consultant warrants that it shall perform the Services:
      1. In accordance with the material terms and conditions set out in the respective Statement of Work and this Agreement.
      2. Using personnel of commercially reasonable skill, experience and qualifications.
      3. In a timely, workmanlike and professional manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services.
   2. Consultant's sole and exclusive liability and Client's sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty shall be as follows:
      1. Consultant shall use reasonable commercial efforts to promptly cure any such breach; provided, that if Consultant cannot cure such breach within a reasonable time (but no more than 60 days) after Client's written notice of such breach, Client may, at its option, terminate the Agreement by serving written notice of termination in accordance with Section 8.2.   
      2.

      3. The foregoing remedy shall not be available unless Client provides written notice of such breach within 30 days after delivery of such Service or Deliverable to Client.
   3. CONSULTANT MAKES NO WARRANTIES EXCEPT FOR THAT PROVIDED IN Section 5.1, ABOVE. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.
6. Intellectual Property. All intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, patent disclosures and inventions (whether patentable or not), trademarks service marks, trade secrets, know-how and other confidential information, trade dress, trade names, logos, corporate names and domain names, together with all of the goodwill associated therewith, derivative works and all other rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) in and to all documents, work product and other materials that are delivered to Client under this Agreement or prepared by or on behalf of the Consultant in the course of performing the Services, including any items identified as such in the Statement of Work (collectively, the “Deliverables”), except for any Confidential Information of Client or Client materials, shall be owned by Consultant.

7. Confidentiality. From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, either Party (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available to the other Party (as the “Receiving Party”), non-public proprietary and confidential information of Disclosing Party, labeled as "confidential" or “proprietary” or if not labeled, disclosed under circumstances that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential (“Confidential Information”); provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of Receiving Party's breach of this Section 7; (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source, provided that such third party is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information; (c) was in Receiving Party's possession prior to Disclosing Party's disclosure hereunder; or (d) was or is independently developed by Receiving Party without using any Confidential Information.
