Ironwood will have the right in its discretion (a) to display and disclose, as may be required under state or federal law or as is otherwise desired by Ironwood, information relating to the nature of Consulting Services performed pursuant to this Agreement, any and all payments, reimbursement for expenses, or other transfer of value made in other than dollar form relating to this Agreement, personal identifying information concerning or any other information relating to this Agreement and (b) to display such information, including but not limited to, on Ironwood’s websites or (c) to report such information to government agencies in accordance with applicable laws and that these payments and identifying information may be posted on a governmental website.

In consideration of the Consulting Services described in the Business Terms Exhibit, Ironwood will pay Consultant the fees as described in the Business Terms Exhibit, or Ironwood will pay a third-party vendor (“Payer”) (a consultant retained by Ironwood to provide logistical coordination for the consulting services) the fees as described in the Business Terms Exhibit, as specified in such the Business Terms Exhibit.  If Ironwood pays the Payer, Consultant acknowledges that Ironwood’s payment obligation in respect of such Services shall be discharged in full upon payment of the foregoing amounts to Payer, and that Ironwood, as the case may be, owes no payment directly to Consultant.

 

Payment is contingent on participation and completion of any written work product or other deliverable as described in the Business Terms Exhibit.

 

Consistent with industry guidance, Ironwood has established, individually and independently, caps on the total amount of annual compensation Ironwood will pay to an individual healthcare professional in conjunction with certain Consulting or other fee-for-service arrangements. Accordingly, fees payable hereunder may not exceed such cap without prior written approval.

 

Unless otherwise specified in the Business Terms Exhibit, undisputed payments will be made by Ironwood within forty-five (45) days from Ironwood’s receipt of Consultant’s invoice.  Invoices will contain such detail as Ironwood may reasonably require, including Ironwood’s contract number, and will be quoted in and payable in U.S. Dollars.  Ironwood will reimburse Consultant for reasonable business expenses incurred by Consultant in the performance of the Consulting Services as specified in the Business Terms Exhibit.

 

Consultant agrees to keep records regarding all payments made, and costs, expenditures and expenses incurred, in connection with the Consulting Services performed pursuant to this Agreement, and shall provide Ironwood with information regarding these payments, costs, expenditures and expenses that Ironwood determines it may be required to disclose under state or federal law or otherwise desires to disclose.  Such information shall be provided to Ironwood no less than thirty (30) days after receipt of such request.

 

3.                                      Materials and Developments.

 

3.1                               Materials.  All documentation, information, and biological, chemical and other materials controlled by Ironwood and furnished to Consultant by or on behalf of Ironwood (“Materials”) and all associated intellectual property rights will remain the exclusive property of Ironwood.  Consultant will use Materials provided by Ironwood only as necessary to perform the Consulting Services and will treat them in accordance with the requirements of this Section 3.1.  Consultant agrees that it will not use or evaluate those Materials or any portions thereof for any other purpose except as directed or permitted in

 

3











 

writing by Ironwood.  Without Ironwood’s prior express written consent, Consultant agrees that it will not analyze the Materials, or transfer or make the Materials available to third parties.

 

3.2                               Deliverables.  Consultant assigns and agrees to assign to Ironwood all rights in the United States and throughout the world to inventions, discoveries, improvements, ideas, designs, processes, formulations, products, computer programs, works of authorship, databases, mask works, trade secrets, know-how, information, data, documentation, reports, research, creations and other products arising from or made in the performance of the Consulting Services (whether or not patentable or subject to copyright or trade secret protection) (collectively, “Deliverables”).  For purposes of the copyright laws of the United States, Deliverables will constitute “works made for hire,” except to the extent such deliverables cannot by law be “works made for hire.”  Ironwood will have the right to use Deliverables for any and all purposes. During and after the term of this Agreement, Consultant will cooperate fully in obtaining patent and other proprietary protection for any patentable Deliverables, all in the name of Ironwood and at Ironwood’s cost and expense.  Such cooperation will include, without limitation, executing and delivering all requested applications, assignments and other documents, and taking such other measures as Ironwood may reasonably request in order to perfect and enforce Ironwood’s rights in the Deliverables.  Consultant appoints Ironwood its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such documents on behalf of Consultant if Consultant fails to do so.  Consultant will, however, retain full ownership rights in and to all templates, programs and other materials developed by Consultant or obtained or licensed from third parties by Consultant (“Consultant Property”) prior to or independent of the Consulting Services, regardless of whether such Consultant Property is used in the performance of the Consulting Services.  Consultant hereby grants to Ironwood a perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid-up worldwide license to use Consultant Property solely to the extent required for Ironwood’s use of the Deliverables.

 

3.3                               Work at Third Party Facilities.  Consultant will not use any third party facilities or intellectual property in performing the Consulting Services without Ironwood’s prior written consent.

 

3.4                               Records; Records Storage.  Consultant will maintain all materials and all other data and documentation obtained or generated by Consultant in the course of preparing for and providing the Consulting Services, including all computerized records and files (the “Records”) in a secure area reasonably protected from fire, theft and destruction.  These Records will be “Works Made for Hire” and will remain the exclusive property of Ironwood. Upon written instruction of Ironwood, all Records will, at Ironwood’s option either be (a) delivered to Ironwood or to its designee, or (b) disposed of, unless such Records are otherwise required to be stored or maintained by Consultant as a matter of law or regulation.  In no event will Consultant dispose of any such Records without first giving Ironwood sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of Consultant’s intent to do so.  Consultant may, however, retain copies of any Records as are reasonably necessary for regulatory or insurance purposes, subject to Consultant’s obligation of confidentiality.

During the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, Consultant will not directly or indirectly publish, disseminate or otherwise disclose, use for Consultant’s own benefit or for the benefit of a third party, deliver or make available to any third party, any Confidential Information, other than in furtherance of the purposes of this Agreement, and only then with the prior written consent of Ironwood.  Consultant will exercise all reasonable precautions to physically protect the integrity and confidentiality of the Confidential Information.  Consultant may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators, but only to the extent necessary to perform the Services. Consultant agrees that any such employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to whom Confidential Information is disclosed shall be advised of Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement and shall be bound by the terms at least as restrictive as the terms hereof to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information pursuant to (x) a written agreement with Consultant, or (y) the rules and standards of professional conduct to which such employee, consultant, advisor or collaborator is bound.

 

4.3                                     Exceptions.  Consultant will have no obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information which:

Consultant will reasonably cooperate with Ironwood in its efforts to seek such a protective order.

It is understood and agreed that Ironwood may be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement; that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach; and that Ironwood will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without having to post a bond, as a remedy for any such breach, and such remedy will not be Ironwood’s exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement.

 

8.8                               Severability; Reformation.  Any of the provisions of this Agreement which are determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability in such jurisdiction, without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof and without affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the other terms of this Agreement in such jurisdiction, or the terms of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.  The parties will substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision that conforms as nearly as possible with the original intent of the parties.

 

8.9                               Waivers.
