ARTICLE II 
SERVICES PROVIDED
Section 2.01    The Services.
(a)    Services.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Parent agrees to perform for Spinco and its Subsidiaries during the term of this Agreement those services (the “Services”) identified on the various service schedules attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Service Schedules”).  Parent may provide all or part of the Services (x) through one or more of its Affiliates, or (y) through an outsourcing or other third party provider arrangement, in the case of this clause (y) (i) to the extent such Services are provided to the Spinco Business on such a basis as of immediately prior to the Distribution, (ii) to the extent such Services are outsourced by, or obtained under a third party provider arrangement with, Parent and its Affiliates generally, or (iii) if the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are inapplicable, and if the applicable Service is material to the Spinco Business, to the extent Spinco shall consent in writing to any such outsourcing or third party provider arrangement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limiting Section 2.01(b), nothing in this Agreement shall require or be interpreted to require Parent or its Affiliates to provide a Service to Spinco or its Subsidiaries beyond the scope and content of such Service as provided (or caused to be provided) by Parent or its Affiliates to the Spinco Business during the 12 months prior to the Distribution.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Service Schedule, no Services provided under this Agreement shall include or shall be construed as constituting, accounting, legal or Tax advice or shall create any fiduciary obligations on the part of Parent or any of its Affiliates to any Person, including to Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or to any plan trustee or any customer of any of them.
(b)    Omitted Services. In the event of any breach of the representation and warranty made by Parent and Spinco to RMT Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to Section 4.19(a) of the Merger Agreement (Sufficiency of Assets), to the extent such breach can be remedied by the provision of a Service hereunder (an “Omitted Service”), then Parent shall provide such Omitted Service to the Spinco Companies to the extent required to remedy such breach.  The Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to negotiate an agreement on the specific terms and conditions applicable to such Omitted Service (including a written Service Schedule with respect thereto, which Service Schedule shall include Parent’s fees for such Omitted Service); provided, that (i) if such Omitted Service is substantially similar to any other Service provided under this Agreement, the specific terms and conditions (including fees therefor) shall be substantially similar to the specific terms and conditions applicable to such other Services, and (ii) if such Omitted Service is not substantially similar to any other Service hereunder, the specific terms and conditions (including fees therefor) shall be reasonable and consistent with what Parent or its applicable Affiliate charges its other Affiliates on a cost of service basis.  Upon the Parties’ agreement on the specific terms and conditions applicable to an Omitted Service, such Omitted Service shall become a Service for purposes of this Agreement and the agreed upon Service Schedule therefor shall be deemed a Service Schedule for all purposes of this Agreement.  
(c)    New Services.  Spinco may from time to time during the term of this Agreement request in writing (a “New Service Request”) that Parent perform a new service (that 

3
        
 

is not an Omitted Service) for Spinco and its Subsidiaries (a “New Service”) in addition to the Services being provided hereunder.  Each New Service Request shall describe in reasonable detail (i) the type and scope of the New Service being requested, including a description of the work Spinco is requesting Parent to perform in respect of such New Service, (ii) the proposed schedule and service period for such New Service, (iii) any systems or equipment necessary for delivery of such New Service (to the extent Spinco is aware thereof), and (iv) any other terms and conditions applicable to such proposed New Service.  Upon receipt of a New Service Request, Parent, if it determines in its sole and absolute discretion to consider the provision of the New Service to Spinco and its Subsidiaries, shall enter into good faith negotiations with Spinco, for a period not to exceed 30 days, to develop a written Service Schedule with respect thereto, which Service Schedule shall include Parent’s fees for such New Service.  If the Parties shall agree to a Service Schedule for the provision of a New Service under this Agreement, such New Service shall become a Service for purposes of this Agreement and the agreed upon Service Schedule therefor shall be deemed a Service Schedule for all purposes of this Agreement.
(d)    Standard of Performance.  Except to the extent restricted by Applicable Law, contractual obligations, security requirements or similar restrictions, Parent shall provide the Services with substantially the same timeliness, quality, scope, service levels and standard of care as such Services generally were performed by or for the Spinco Business during the 12 months prior to the Distribution.  
(e)    Temporary Suspension; Modification or Termination of Services.  Parent shall have the right from time to time to shut down temporarily or suspend the operation of any systems or facilities necessary for the provision of any Service for modification, upgrade, maintenance or replacement, or for legal, compliance or security purposes, whenever in its reasonable judgment such action is necessary, and shall be relieved of its obligations to provide Services during the period that its systems or facilities are shut down or suspended. Parent shall provide reasonable advanced notice of any such shut downs or suspensions, to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruptions to the operation of the Spinco Business, in connection with any such shut down or suspension.  
(f)    Termination of Services. Parent shall have the right to terminate or discontinue any individual Service if Parent is terminating or discontinuing such Service to its business units or Affiliates in general; provided, however, that Parent provides written notice to Spinco as reasonably practicable in advance (but in no event less than 90 days written days notice) of any such termination or discontinuation; and provided further that Parent shall not have any right to terminate or discontinue any Service or Services during the initial term contemplated therefor on the Services Schedules hereto if the termination of such Service or Services, individually, or in the aggregate, would be material, in an adverse manner, to the businesses or operations of the Spinco Companies.
(g)    Significant Service or System Changes.  Parent shall have the right to upgrade or replace its systems through which Services are being provided to Spinco as part of any upgrade or replacement made generally to its shared systems, business units or Affiliates.  In 

4
        
 

the case of any such upgrade or replacement (other than routine software upgrades), Parent shall notify Spinco in writing reasonably in advance of any such upgrade or replacement.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01(g), Spinco shall be responsible for its proportionate share of any costs, including security costs, incurred in implementing any such upgraded or replaced shared systems through which Services are being provided to Spinco and its Subsidiaries hereunder.  In the event Parent shall determine to upgrade or replace, during the term of this Agreement, any of its systems through which Services are being provided to Spinco under this Agreement, then, if and to the extent Parent and its Affiliates are required to incur additional or incremental costs or expenses (including capital expenditures) that Parent would not otherwise incur if such upgrade or replacement applied only to Parent’s and its Affiliates’ need for or use of such systems (including costs and expenses incurred as a result of the need to purchase additional capacity to accommodate the Spinco Business, incremental license or similar fees required to be paid to third parties or installation of security hardware and software items (e.g. firewalls) necessary to enable Parent to use such systems to provide Services to Spinco hereunder), then Spinco shall be responsible for such additional or incremental costs and expenses (including capital expenditures).  In such case, Parent shall provide a good faith estimate of Spinco’s allocable share of the costs and expenses of any such upgrade or replacement in advance of such system replacement or upgrade.  Subject to the advance notice period and other requirements of Section 5.02 (including with respect to interdependent Services), Spinco may discontinue any particular Services that use or are dependent on the systems to be upgraded or replaced and thereupon will not be responsible for costs and expenses related to such upgrade or replacement; provided that Spinco shall provide such notice of discontinuation to Parent no later than 30 days following Parent’s notice to Spinco of such upgrade or replacement; and provided further that nothing in this Section 2.01(g) shall relieve Spinco of any obligation to make payments in respect of Services received hereunder.       
(h)    Parent Personnel.   For the avoidance of doubt, all employees of Parent and its applicable Affiliates providing Services hereunder shall be deemed for all purposes to be employees or representatives of Parent or its applicable Affiliates and shall not be deemed to be employees or representatives of Spinco or any of its Affiliates for any purpose.  Without limiting the foregoing, Parent or its applicable Affiliate shall be responsible for (i) payment of compensation, benefits and labor costs (including workers’ compensation obligations) attributable to such employees and (ii) withholding and remitting of Taxes with respect to such employees as required by Applicable Law.  
(i)    Third Party Providers.  Subject to Section 2.01(a), to the extent any Service requires the use of a third party provider, at Spinco’s election, Spinco may directly contract with such provider; provided that Spinco’s election to directly contract with such a provider (i) shall not relieve Spinco of its obligations under this Agreement (including Section 5.02) with respect to the termination of such Service, and (ii) shall relieve Parent of any and all obligations hereunder to provide such Service. Parent shall reasonably assist Spinco at Spinco’s written request to enter into contracts with such third party providers that provide the Services to the Spinco Business prior to the Effective Date.  During the term of any Service provided by a third party provider, upon Spinco’s written request describing any default of such third party Provider with respect to such Service, at Spinco’s option, Parent shall either (x) to the extent permitted under the applicable Contract with 

5
        
 

respect third party Provider and consistent with Parent’s other rights and obligations thereunder, assign such to Spinco any rights Parent or its Affiliates may have to any warranty, indemnity or other legal or equitable claim or cause of action under such Contract with respect to such Service, or (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any warranty or indemnity rights of Parent or its Affiliates under the applicable Contract with such third party provider on Spinco’s behalf with respect to such Service.  Spinco shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with pursuing any such warranty or indemnity. The foregoing above is without prejudice to Spinco’s or Parent’s rights against or in respect of any such third party provider.
Section 2.02    Certain Spinco Obligations.
(a)    Policies and Procedures; Use of Services.  Spinco shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, adhere to applicable Parent policies and procedures relevant to the Services provided or made available to Spinco or that Spinco has in its possession.  Spinco shall use the Services only for substantially the same purpose and in substantially the same manner as the Spinco Business used the Services prior to the Distribution.  
(b)    Cooperation; Information.  Spinco agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate as reasonably requested by Parent to enable Parent to perform the Services.  Spinco shall be responsible for providing certain information to Parent, or any Affiliate or designated third party provider engaged to perform particular Services, on a timely basis and in a format and with the level of detail reasonably acceptable to Parent or its Affiliate or designated third party provider, in each case solely to the extent necessary to enable Parent or its Affiliate or designated third party provider to provide Services under this Agreement and in a manner consistent with that required to be provided by the Spinco Business to receive such Service prior to the Distribution (to the extent applicable).
(c)    Migration.  Spinco shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, endeavor to migrate off the Services as soon as is reasonably commercially practicable. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Spinco and its Affiliates to effect the transition of Services to Spinco, Merger Partner or its Affiliates, or any other qualified service provider as Spinco may designate from time to time to replace any of the Services under this Agreement.
(d)    Limited Use of Services.  Spinco and its Subsidiaries shall use the Services only in connection with (i) the conduct of the Spinco Business in the ordinary course (together with natural extensions and growth of the Spinco Business during the term of this Agreement), (ii) separation of the Spinco Business from the remaining business of Parent and its Affiliates,  (iii) the separation of Spinco and its Subsidiaries from Parent’s and its Affiliates’ shared IT Systems, and (iv) the integration of Spinco and its Subsidiaries into the shared IT Systems of Merger Partner and its Affiliates.  Spinco and its Subsidiaries shall not resell, assign or subcontract any of the Services to any third party whatsoever or permit the use of the Services by any third party other than Spinco and its Subsidiaries, or Merger Partner or its Affiliates solely in connection with operation of the Spinco Business, in accordance with this Agreement. 

6
        
 

(e)    Limited License.  The Parties agree that certain third party licenses or other agreements, software or hardware required for use by Parent, its Affiliates and designated third party providers in providing Services to Spinco and its Subsidiaries under this Agreement may be Transferred Assets under the Separation Agreement. To the extent required to deliver the Services as contemplated in this Agreement, Spinco hereby grants and licenses to Parent, its applicable Affiliates and any applicable designated third party providers, the right to possess, access and use such Transferred Assets solely to the extent necessary for rendering Services under and in accordance with this Agreement, including connecting such Transferred Assets to IT Systems of Parent and its Affiliates. 
Section 2.03    Ingress and Egress.  Spinco hereby grants to Parent, at all times during the term of this Agreement, the right to ingress to and egress from the premises occupied by Spinco, subject to such restrictions as Spinco may reasonably require (including written non-disclosure agreements, restricted access for only designated areas, and other requirements, with any individuals who will enter such premises), for reasonable purposes and solely to the extent necessary to the delivery of Services hereunder or the exercise of any right under this Agreement or the performance of any obligations required by this Agreement.
Section 2.04    Priorities.  As to the provision of Services, Parent shall determine the priority of any Services provided under this Agreement in a fair and reasonable manner and taking into account the interests of the Parties, as between Parent or any of its Affiliates, and Spinco and its Subsidiaries, including taking into account the relative effect of such determination on their respective businesses and operations.
Section 2.05    Limitations on Services.  Spinco acknowledges that Parent is agreeing to perform Services in order to facilitate Spinco’s and its Subsidiaries’ operation of the Spinco Business as described in the Separation Agreement and Merger Agreement and as otherwise provided herein.  Parent shall not be required to expand its facilities, incur any capital expenditures, employ additional personnel or maintain the employment of any specific persons in order to provide the Services to Spinco or its Subsidiaries.   
Section 2.06    Separation and Migration.  In the event and to the extent the Separation/Migration Plan has not been developed or finalized by the Parties prior to the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall develop or finalize the Separation/Migration Plan as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement.  In order to facilitate the Systems Separation and Data Migration, and the implementation of the Separation/Migration Plan, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, upon advance notice and at no cost to the other Party (a) provide the other Party and its authorized representatives reasonable access, during regular business hours, to such personnel of such Party and its Affiliates as reasonably requested by the other Party to advise on the process and method for efficient and timely implementation of the Systems Separation and Data Migration, (b) provide copies of (or otherwise cooperate to convey the information contained in) such books, records, reports, files and other information as reasonably requested by the other Party solely to the extent reasonably necessary or helpful to design a plan and/or prepare for Systems Separation and Data Migration, and (c) reasonably cooperate with the other Party to design and develop and finalize the Separation/Migration Plan 

7
        
 

as necessary.  In accordance with the plan, timetables and objectives set forth in the Separation/Migration Plan, each Party shall and shall cause its respective Affiliates to use reasonable commercial efforts to implement and cause the Systems Separation and Data Migration.
Section 2.07    Intellectual Property.  Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement and the Transaction Documents, Parent has agreed to transfer to one or more of the Spinco Companies certain Transferred Intellectual Property and to license to one or more of the Spinco Companies certain Licensed Intellectual Property.  In connection with the performance of the Services hereunder, Spinco may have access to or use of certain Intellectual Property disclosed or licensed by third parties to Parent or its Affiliates that is not Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property (“Third Party Intellectual Property”) as well as certain Intellectual Property owned by Parent or its Affiliates that is not Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property (“Other Parent Intellectual Property”).  To the extent necessary or appropriate to protect any such Third Party Intellectual Property or Other Parent Intellectual Property, Spinco shall enter into non-disclosure agreements with third parties or take other reasonable actions with respect to such Third Party Intellectual Property or Other Parent Intellectual Property as may be reasonably requested by Parent (with respect to the Other Parent Intellectual Property) or such third parties (with respect to the Third Party Intellectual Property) from time to time.  Parent hereby grants, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, to Spinco and its Subsidiaries a license to access and use such Intellectual Property solely to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with receiving and fully utilizing the Services under and in accordance with this Agreement.  Other than as permitted by this Agreement, Spinco shall not have any rights in or to any such Third Party Intellectual Property or Other Parent Intellectual Property as a result of any such access or use.  Spinco shall comply in all respects with the terms and conditions of any agreement between any third parties and Parent or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to the extent such agreements have been provided to Spinco prior to the Effective Date, with respect to any Third Party Intellectual Property disclosed to or used by Spinco as if Spinco were a direct party to such arrangements (other than with respect to any payment terms thereunder), including any obligations with respect to confidentiality and restrictions on use of Third Party Intellectual Property. Spinco assumes all liability associated with any breach of any terms and conditions of any agreement or other arrangement between any third parties and Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the Services, and without limiting the rights of Parent under the Separation Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, hereby indemnifies pursuant to Section 6.04(a) each of Parent, its Affiliates and its Representatives (together with their respective successors and permitted assigns) against, and agrees to defend and hold them harmless from, any and all Damages suffered by any of them to the extent arising out of, resulting from or related to any claim that Spinco’s access to or use of Third Party Intellectual Property violates the Intellectual Property or other rights of any Person, or breaches a term or condition of any arrangement between Parent or its Affiliates and any third party.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that Spinco shall not have any rights in or access to, and Parent shall ensure that no copies are provided to Spinco or any of its Affiliates of, any source code with respect to any Third Party Intellectual Property or Other Parent Intellectual Property.  Spinco shall not, through reverse engineering or any other means, attempt to access any such source code and shall use the Third Party Intellectual Property and the Other Parent Intellectual Property only for its intended use.  

8
        
 

Section 2.08    Telecommunications Matters.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Services Schedules, the Parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to all telecommunications Services provided under this Agreement (as are specifically designated on the applicable Services Schedules), Parent is only acting to pass through such Services from the applicable telecommunications service vendor, and shall not be deemed to be providing such telecommunications Services to the Spinco Companies or any of the Spinco Business Employees.  
ARTICLE III
CONSIDERATION
Section 3.01    Consideration.  Spinco shall pay Parent, in consideration of each of the Services provided hereunder, the amounts set forth in the applicable Service Schedules hereto.  For the avoidance of doubt, all such amounts under this Agreement are independent of, and in addition to, any costs and expenses required to be paid or reimbursed by Spinco or its Affiliates under the other Transaction Documents that relate to the scope and content of any Service, including all such costs and expenses under the Employee Matters Agreement; provided, however, that Spinco shall not be obligated to pay more than once for any Service under this Agreement that is also being provided in any other Transaction Document.
Section 3.02    Costs and Expenses.  Spinco shall pay Parent such amounts as may be necessary to reimburse Parent and its Affiliates for certain fees, costs or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with performing the Services (excluding Taxes, except as explicitly provided herein) in accordance with the principles described in Exhibit B.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.02 or Exhibit B, it is acknowledged and agreed that Spinco shall pay and reimburse Parent for (a) all fees, expenses and other amounts paid to third parties in connection with the provision of Services hereunder, (b) incremental license or similar fees paid to third parties, including software vendors or licensors, as a result of the provision of Services to Spinco and its Subsidiaries, (c) Spinco’s proportionate share of costs associated with systems maintenance and periodic upgrades of system hardware or software reasonably necessary to provide the Services, and (d) Spinco’s proportionate share of any costs (including security costs) incurred in implementing upgraded or replaced shared systems in accordance with Section 2.01(g).    
Section 3.03    Required Consents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to provide any Service to the extent the provision of such Service in accordance with this Agreement would require any consent, waiver, permit, license, and or sublicense of any third party (collectively, the “Required Consents”) unless and until such Required Consents shall have been obtained.  With respect to any Required Consents not obtained prior to the date of this Agreement, from and after the date hereof, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but without any payment of money or other transfer of value by Parent to any third party) to obtain such Required Consents and Spinco shall provide such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with its pursuit of such Required Consents.  To the extent Parent can obtain a Required Consent by adding Spinco or its Subsidiaries to a list of approved or authorized users of software, hardware 

9
        
 

or services used to provide Services hereunder, Parent shall prepare such documents and Spinco agrees to cooperate with Parent to execute such documents provided that the terms and conditions of such documents are reasonably satisfactory to Spinco.  Should a sublicense, temporary assignment or signature on any software license or confidentiality agreements be necessary for Parent to be authorized to provide the Services, Spinco also agrees to cooperate and execute such documents provided that the terms and conditions of such documents are reasonably satisfactory to Spinco.  The failure of Spinco to execute any of the documents referred to in this Section 3.03 shall relieve Parent of its duty to provide the portion of the Services to which the Required Consent would have applied.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.02, Spinco shall pay Parent such amounts as may be necessary to reimburse Parent and its Affiliates for any fees, costs or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with seeking and obtaining any Required Consents, including any consent fees, license fees or other amounts assessed by any third party in connection therewith.
Section 3.04    Invoices.  Parent shall bill Spinco on a monthly basis for Services provided under this Agreement and for Parent’s reimbursable costs and expenses in connection therewith as further set forth in the Service Schedules.  With respect to fees, costs and expenses incurred prior to the date of this Agreement that are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.02 (including in accordance with the principles in Exhibit B), to the extent such amounts have not been paid by Spinco prior to the date of this Agreement, Parent shall invoice such amounts under this Agreement.  Spinco shall pay the amount of each invoice in immediately available funds within 30 days of the date thereof.  If any amounts due hereunder have not been received by the due date and are not disputed in good faith, the overdue amounts shall bear interest from the due date at the Interest Rate until received.  If Spinco disputes in good faith any portion of the amount due on any invoice, Spinco shall notify Parent in writing (including the nature and basis of the dispute) no later than the payment due date for such invoice. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve the dispute as promptly as practicable. Upon the resolution of any dispute, the applicable Party will refund to the other Party the amount that has been agreed by such Party, and any amounts so refunded shall bear interest from the due date at the Interest Rate until received.  Spinco shall pay, as additional fees, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Parent in attempting to collect and collecting the amounts due under this Section 3.04 (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).  Any invoice provided under this Agreement shall include the following language: “With respect to all telecommunications services provided under this invoice, Lockheed Martin Corporation is only acting to pass through such services from the applicable telecommunications service vendor, and shall not be deemed to be providing such telecommunications services to Abacus Innovations Corporation or any of its employees.”  
Section 3.05    Taxes.  
(a)    The consideration payable to Parent pursuant to Section 3.01 shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.05, exclude any and all Taxes imposed on the sale of the Services provided by Parent, and any and all Taxes otherwise imposed on, sustained or incurred with respect to, or applicable to, the Services provided by Parent; provided that Spinco shall pay 

10
        
 

all sales, use and other similar Taxes arising as a result of or in connection with the provision of the Services or the performance of the obligations under this Agreement.
(b)    Parent shall cooperate with Spinco and take any reasonably requested action in order to minimize any sales, use or other similar Taxes imposed on the sale of the Services provided by Parent, including providing sales and use Tax exemption certificates or other documentation necessary to support Tax exemptions. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party such information and data as reasonably requested from time to time, and to fully cooperate with the other Party, in connection with (i) the reporting of any sales, use or other similar Taxes payable pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any audit relating to any sales, use or other similar Taxes payable pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any assessment, refund, claim or Proceeding relating to any such sales, use or other similar Taxes.
(c)    Spinco or any applicable Affiliate of Spinco, as the case may be, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under Applicable Law and such deducted and withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made; provided, however, that Spinco will reasonably cooperate with Parent in obtaining any available exemption from or reduction of such withholding.
Section 3.06    Records.  Parent shall keep reasonable and accurate records pertaining to the amounts billed to Spinco under this Agreement in accordance with Applicable Law (and at a minimum a period of up to four years after the termination of the last Service under this Agreement).  Parent shall provide Spinco and its Representatives with reasonable access (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) to such records during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice during the term of this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to allow Spinco or its Representatives to audit the amount billed under this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV 
FORCE MAJEURE 
Section 4.01    Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever arising out of any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (other than the payment of money) to the extent such delay or failure results from events beyond the control of the affected Party, including acts of God, acts, regulations or decrees of any Governmental Authority, war, acts of terrorism, embargoes, strikes, industrial disputes or shortages of fuel, other industry-wide shortages of labor or supply of materials, accident, fire, explosion, flood, nuclear disaster or riot, and Spinco shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement in respect of any such delay or failure resulting from any such event. In such an event, the affected Party shall immediately notify the other Party thereof, and each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or eliminate such event insofar as possible with a minimum of delay and to resume performance as soon as and to the extent practicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spinco shall have the right to terminate the affected Service (the “Affected Service”) in the event of any such delay or failure affecting such Affected Service that continues for longer than 60 days; provided that Spinco shall provide at least 30 days prior 

11
        
 

written notice of termination of such Affected Service; and provided further that to the extent any such Affected Service is interdependent with any other Service provided hereunder, termination of such Affected Service shall be subject to termination of any interdependent Services in accordance with (and subject to the notice periods contemplated by) Section 5.02 unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.  
ARTICLE V 
TERM AND TERMINATION
Section 5.01    Term.  This Agreement is effective as of the date first above written and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, shall continue in effect with respect to each Service for the term of such Service specified on the Service Schedule with respect thereto; provided that, notwithstanding the term of any Service set forth in the Service Schedules, but subject to the provisions of this Section 5.01, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety on the 12-month anniversary of the Distribution.  To the extent reasonably necessary to continue the transition of any Service contemplated herein from Parent or its Affiliates to other providers (including Spinco or its Affiliates) and the continued operation of Spinco’s and its Subsidiaries’ business in connection therewith, Spinco may elect, by delivering written notice to Parent no later than three months prior to the end of the then in effect term for such Service, to extend any Service (and, as necessary, the term of this Agreement with respect to such Service) by (a) an initial extension period of up to six months; provided, that for and during such additional period, all costs and fees hereunder (other than third-party costs and expenses) shall be increased by 6%, and (b) a second extension period of up to six months; provided, that for and during such second additional period, all costs and fees hereunder (other than third-party costs and expenses) shall be increased by 12%; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt it is acknowledged and agreed that, in the case of each of clause (a) and clause (b), Spinco shall be responsible for all third-party costs and expenses in connection with, including additional or increased costs and expenses as a result of, any such extension.  It is acknowledged and agreed that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Service may be extended beyond the initial period contemplated therefor to the extent such extension would constitute a violation of Applicable Law or a violation of, conflict with or default under the terms and conditions of any Contract with any third party related thereto, (ii) no telecommunications services of the type that Parent determines may give rise to the imposition of excise Taxes or other similar communications Taxes shall in any event be extended longer than a maximum period of 12 months, (iii) no Service that is indicated as not subject to extension on the Services Schedules may be extended beyond the term therefor indicated in the Services Schedules, (iv) the extension of an individual Service shall require the extension of all interdependent Services (including (A) with respect to any Service that is designated as part of a bundle in any Service Schedule, extension of all Services included in such bundle and (B) any Services identified as being interdependent on the Service Schedules), and (v) this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety in any event upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of the last extension period exercised by Spinco under this Section 5.01 and (B) the 24-month anniversary of the Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, if any telecommunications service is extended longer than a maximum period of 12 months, costs and fees with respect to such services shall include (x) any excise Taxes imposed on Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with such services, and (y) any Taxes on the amounts described in (x).

12
        
 

Section 5.02    Partial Termination.  Spinco may discontinue one or more particular Services from time to time during the term of this Agreement by delivering to Parent advance written notice of termination thereof no later than 90 days prior to the date of termination of such Service (unless the Service Schedule for such Service shall designate a longer advanced termination period, in which case Spinco shall provide written notice in accordance with such period).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a particular Service may be discontinued only upon discontinuation of all related interdependent Services (including with respect to any Service that is designated as part of a bundle in any Service Schedule, upon discontinuation of all Services included in such bundle), and (b) no termination of any Service shall relieve Spinco of any of its obligations hereunder to pay Parent for Services rendered and costs and expenses incurred prior to such termination.  For those Services that are part of a process or system approved by the U.S. Government, Spinco agrees that it shall have an approved alternative system or process in place prior to termination of such Services.  In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may terminate any Service, effective immediately upon delivery of notice to Spinco, (i) if and to the extent the provision or receipt of such Service is prohibited by Applicable Law, subjects Parent or any of its Affiliates to increased regulation by any Governmental Authority or requires Parent or any of its Affiliates to obtain any license or permit from any Governmental Authority not otherwise required to be obtained by Parent in connection with its other businesses, and (ii) in accordance with Section 2.01(f).  In the event Spinco shall terminate any Service provided hereunder earlier than the designated term thereof as set out in the Service Schedules, and if such early termination shall result in an early termination fee or similar penalty to Parent or its Affiliates, Spinco shall be responsible for such fee or penalty to the extent Spinco requests in writing, prior to such termination, that Parent notify Spinco in writing of any such fee or penalty and, upon receipt of such notice from Parent, Spinco determines to terminate despite such fee or penalty.  
Section 5.03    Termination of Entire Agreement.  Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective upon delivery of notice to the other Party if: (a) the other Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or is petitioned into bankruptcy, or takes advantage of any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency act, or if a receiver or receiver/manager is appointed for all or any substantial part of its property and business and such receiver or receiver/manager remains undischarged for a period of 30 days; (b) the other Party materially defaults in the performance of any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement and such default is not remedied within 60 days (or such longer period to the extent the defaulting Party is using diligent efforts to remedy the same) after written notice of such default by the non-breaching Party; provided that the terminating Party shall only have the right to terminate the applicable Service(s) affected by such default, or (c) all Services have been terminated or expired in accordance herewith.
Section 5.04    Suspension of Services.  Parent’s obligations to perform Services under this Agreement are conditioned upon Spinco materially complying at all times with its covenants and obligations in this Agreement necessary for Parent to provide such Services. If at any time Spinco shall not be in material compliance with any such covenants and obligations hereunder, Parent may suspend performance of any Services affected by or related to such noncompliance.  

13
        
 

Section 5.05    Procedures on Termination.  Following any termination of this Agreement in whole or in part, each Party shall provide reasonable cooperation to the other Party in connection with the cessation of the provision of Services hereunder to minimize disruption to the Spinco Business; provided that this Section 5.05 shall not require Parent to provide Services beyond the termination of such Service or this Agreement or to incur any unreimbursed costs or expenses.  Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any right to payment for Services provided prior to termination.  Reasonably prior to and for a reasonable period of time following such termination (in each case not less than 30 days), Parent shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Spinco with respect to transitioning the Spinco Companies and Spinco Business from the terminated Services to long-term replacement services; provided that such cooperation shall not require Parent to incur any unreimbursed costs or expenses. 
Section 5.06    Survival.  The following Articles and Sections shall survive termination of this Agreement: Article III (Consideration), Section 5.05 (Procedures on Termination), this Section 5.06 (Survival), Article VI (Liability and Indemnification), Section 7.01 (Confidentiality), Section 7.02 (Ownership of Intellectual Property) and Article VIII (Miscellaneous).

ARTICLE VII 
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS
Section 7.01    Confidentiality.
(a)    Definitions.  The term “Proprietary Information” means all proprietary, confidential and/or trade secret information that relates to and is disclosed by one Party or its Affiliates (the “Originating Party”) to the other Party or its Affiliates (the “Receiving Party”) under or in connection with this Agreement; provided that Proprietary Information shall not include Transferred Intellectual Property, Licensed Intellectual Property, Licensed-Back Intellectual Property, Parent Company Proprietary Information or Spinco Business Proprietary Information, it being understood that such confidential information and data shall be protected and preserved by the Parties in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(b)    Disclosure and Use.  The Receiving Party (i) shall (and shall cause its Representatives and Affiliates to) treat and hold as confidential all Proprietary Information received from the Originating Party, and (ii) shall not (and shall cause its Representatives and Affiliates not to) disclose to any Person, publish or make publicly available any Proprietary Information received from the Originating Party.  The Receiving Party shall use Proprietary Information received from the Originating Party solely during the term of this Agreement and solely in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and, to the extent that Spinco is the Receiving Party, solely to the extent necessary in connection with the operation of the Spinco Business (together with natural extensions and growth of the Spinco Business during the term of this Agreement).
(c)    Protection of Parent’s Systems.  Spinco agrees that, to the extent Parent provides access to any of its or its Affiliates’ IT Systems to Spinco or Spinco’s Subsidiaries in connection with the receipt of Services hereunder, Spinco shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use Parent’s and its Affiliates’ IT Systems only to the extent necessary to access such data, documents, drawings and computer software constituting Transferred Intellectual Property, Licensed Intellectual Property or Spinco Data, and that such access and use shall be subject to such other restrictions on access or use as Parent may reasonably require. Spinco shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, access any other data, documents, drawings or computer software, other than to such extent as may be required in order to use or receive the benefit of the Services (or as agreed in writing between the Parties).  This restriction applies to viewing, approving and modifying of data.  The foregoing shall not limit any licenses or rights granted under the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement or herein.
(d)    Protection of Spinco’s Systems.  Parent agrees that, to the extent Spinco provides access to any of its or its Subsidiaries’ IT Systems to Parent or Parent’s Affiliates in connection with the provision of Services hereunder, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use Spinco’s and its Subsidiaries’ IT Systems only to such extent as may be required in order 

16
        
 

to provide the Services or otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and such access and use shall be subject to such other restrictions on use or access as Spinco may reasonably require.  Without limiting the foregoing, Parent agrees not to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, access, use or manipulate Spinco’s data without Spinco’s prior written permission during the term of this Agreement, except for such access or use as and to the extent required to perform Parent’s obligations under this Agreement or as agreed in writing between the Parties.  The foregoing shall not limit any licenses or rights granted under the Intellectual Property Matter Agreements or herein.
(e)    Exceptions.  This Agreement shall not restrict disclosure or use of Proprietary Information that:
(i)    appears in issued patents, published patent applications or other publications that are generally available to the public (without limiting, for clarity, the Originating Party’s rights in such patents or patent applications); 
(ii)    is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives or Affiliates; 
(iii)    is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source that, to such Receiving Party’s knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation; or 
(iv)    is or has been independently developed by the Receiving Party as evidenced by written documentation; provided that Proprietary Information licensed to the Receiving Party by the Originating Party and its Affiliates shall not be deemed to have been independently developed by Spinco for purposes of this Section 7.01(e)(iv); provided that information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because such information is embraced by more general information in the public domain, unless the information itself is in the public domain.
(f)    Disclosures Required by Applicable Law.  In addition to the foregoing exceptions, in the event the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral or written request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or by Applicable Law) to disclose any Proprietary Information, then the Receiving Party shall notify the Originating Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the Originating Party, at its expense, may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this Section 7.01.  If, in the absence of a protective order or receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party is, on the advice of counsel, required to disclose such Proprietary Information, the Receiving Party may so disclose the information; provided that the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such information.
(g)    No Other Rights Granted.  Proprietary Information shall remain the property of the Originating Party.  Except for the rights expressly granted under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, neither this Agreement nor disclosure of Proprietary 

17
        
 

Information hereunder shall be construed as granting any right or license to or under any trade secrets, copyrights, inventions, patents or other Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned or controlled by either Party.
(h)    Wind-up Activities.  Upon completion or termination of the Services and unless instructed to do otherwise by the Originating Party, the Receiving Party shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to cease use of and destroy all of the Proprietary Information, if any, received from the Originating Party pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent stored in archival or other backup systems of the Receiving Party; provided that the confidentiality and non-use restrictions hereunder shall continue to apply to such Proprietary Information).  The Originating Party may request, within 30 days after termination of this Agreement, and the Receiving Party shall provide, written certification of the destruction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may retain one copy of each permanent record of the Proprietary Information disclosed to it under this Agreement solely as a record of the disclosure.  
(i)    Non-Exclusive.  The rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 7.01 are in addition to any additional or supplemental agreements with respect to confidentiality or protection of proprietary information that may be agreed between the Parties.
Section 7.02    Ownership of Intellectual Property.  To the extent Parent or its Affiliates, in connection with the performance of any Service hereunder, develops, conceives or generates any invention, discovery, improvement, maskwork, patent, work of authorship or other Intellectual Property, or any proprietary, confidential or trade secret data, all right, title and interest in and to such inventions, discoveries, improvements, maskworks, patents and other Intellectual Property and such proprietary, confidential or trade secret data will be owned solely by Parent or its respective Affiliates, as the case may be, notwithstanding its development in connection with performance of Services under this Agreement and Spinco shall not have any rights therein or thereto. 
Section 7.03    Control over Data and Technology.  Spinco agrees to comply and to cause its Subsidiaries to, and Parent agrees to comply and to cause its Affiliates to, comply with all applicable International Trade Laws and Regulations (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the United States and any other country having proper jurisdiction and, without limiting the foregoing, shall obtain all necessary export licenses, in connection with any export, re-export, transfer or use of all products, technology, and intellectual property licensed under or used pursuant to this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, for as long as Spinco and its Subsidiaries have access to Parent’s IT Systems and data, Spinco shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and for as long as Parent and its Affiliates have access to Spinco’s IT Systems and data, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, allow disclosure of technical data, classified or proprietary information to a foreign entity (not incorporated in the U.S.), or foreign national who is not a U.S. lawful permanent resident (intending citizen/green card holder) unless the applicable Party has obtained proper export authorization, and shall not allow a foreign entity or foreign national to access Parent’s or Spinco’s (as applicable) IT Systems without Parent’s or Spinco’s (as applicable) prior written authorization.

18
        
 

Section 7.04    Equipment and Network Access.  The Parties agree that, if any equipment included among the Transferred Assets will remain connected to Parent’s network during the term of this Agreement, then Parent will continue to have operational control of such equipment for so long as such equipment remains connected to Parent’s network and such equipment shall not be connected to Spinco’s or its Subsidiaries’ networks during such period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.  The Parties agree that use of, and access related to, any equipment connected to the other Party’s network shall be subject to all applicable computing security policies of such other Party while it is connected to such other Party’s network, including policies concerning electronic access by such Party and its Affiliates.  Such other Party will control electronic access to its network, including by issuing accounts to such number of personnel who need to access the information on the network for purposes associated with Services being performed hereunder or, with respect to Spinco and its Subsidiaries as the accessing Party, other operation of the Spinco Business.  Each Party will take necessary and appropriate measures to reasonably assure that its and its Affiliates’ personnel utilize such access consistent with restrictions placed on their individual network access account.  Each Party also agrees to reasonably cooperate with any investigation of a suspected or detected breach of security or incident of misuse by the other Party. The Parties further agree that, prior to physical transfer of the equipment to Spinco or its Subsidiaries, Parent may (i) erase or overwrite any residual data on storage media that constitutes an Excluded Asset but is part of such equipment, provided that these activities shall only occur after any of Spinco’s or its Subsidiaries’ proprietary information is removed and backed up, or (ii) remove and replace, before the transfer of the equipment to Spinco or its Subsidiaries, any storage media containing information which is considered proprietary to Parent; provided that (A) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide for the full restoration of all of Spinco’s or its Subsidiaries’ proprietary information and equipment without any loss of information or functionality, (B) Parent shall implement its duties in accordance with Section 2.01(d), and (C) no such erasing, overwriting, removal or replacement shall occur with respect to any Data or Intellectual Property to the extent a Spinco has a Right to Use such Data in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Separation Agreement or license rights to such Intellectual Property under the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that additional conditions and restrictions may apply to satisfy governmental restrictions for any equipment subject to a U.S. Government security classification. Notwithstanding Parent’s control of Spinco’s and its Subsidiaries’ equipment while it is connected to Parent’s network, all risk of loss as to such equipment will be allocated to Spinco and its Subsidiaries.

In the event of any conflict between the Rules and any provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.
(b)    The legal seat of the arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware.  Without prejudice to the legal seat of arbitration, and for the convenience of the parties, the arbitral hearings 

23
        
 

and other proceedings shall be held in Washington, D.C., or at such other location upon which the parties to the arbitration may agree in writing.
(c)    The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.  
(d)    The arbitral tribunal (“Arbitral Tribunal”) shall consist of three arbitrators.  The claimant(s) and respondent(s), respectively, shall each appoint one arbitrator within 30 days of the date of delivery of the demand of arbitration, and the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the two Party-appointed arbitrators within 30 days of the date of appointment of the second arbitrator.  Any arbitrator not timely appointed as provided herein shall be appointed by the AAA.  For the avoidance of doubt, each of the claimant and the respondent in the arbitration shall be permitted to consult with its respective appointed arbitrator in connection with such arbitrators’ selection of the third arbitrator.
(e)    The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the exclusive right to determine the arbitrability of any Disputes.
(f)    The parties shall share equally the arbitration administrative fees, the panel member fees and costs, and any other costs associated with the arbitration.  Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees. The Arbitral Tribunal shall have no authority to award damages in excess of any limitations set forth in this Agreement.
(g)    The Arbitral Tribunal shall be required to apply the substantive laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof that would compel the laws of another jurisdiction) in ruling upon any Dispute.
(h)    The Parties agree that the dispute resolution procedures specified in this Section 8.13 shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of Disputes, including all documents made a part thereof; provided, however, that any Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration before any court of competent jurisdiction if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage.  Despite such action, the Parties shall continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Section 8.13.
(i)    Any decision or award of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be reasoned and in writing, and shall be final and binding upon the parties to the arbitration proceeding.  The Parties agree not to invoke or exercise any rights to appeal, review, vacate or impugn such decision or award by the Arbitral Tribunal, except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act (including Chapters 2 and 3 thereof) or the New York Convention, as applicable.  The Parties also agree that judgment upon the arbitral decision or award may be entered and enforced in any court where the parties to the arbitration proceeding or their assets may be found (to whose jurisdiction the parties consent for the purpose of entering and enforcing judgment on the arbitral decision and award) as well as any other court having jurisdiction thereof.
(j)    If any prevailing party is required to retain counsel to enforce the arbitral decision or award in a court of competent jurisdiction, the Party against whom the decision or award 

24
        
 

is made shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred and paid to said counsel for such service.  
(k)    The Parties agree and understand that, except as may be required by Applicable Law or any national or international stock exchange regulations applicable to a Party, or is required to protect or pursue a legal right, every aspect concerning the process of arbitration shall be treated with the utmost confidentiality and that the arbitration procedure itself shall be confidential. 
(l)    The Parties agree that notifications of any proceedings, reports, communications, orders, arbitral decisions, arbitral awards, arbitral award enforcement petitions, and any other document shall be sent as set forth in Section 8.01. 
(m)    The parties consent that any pending or contemplated arbitration hereunder may be consolidated with any prior arbitration arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Merger Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement) for the purposes of efficiency and to avoid the possibility of inconsistent awards.  An application for such consolidation may be made by any party to this Agreement or such other Transaction Documents to the tribunal for the prior arbitration.  The tribunal to the prior arbitration shall, after providing all interested parties the opportunity to comment on such application, order that any such pending or contemplated arbitration be consolidated into a prior arbitration if it determines that (i) the issues in the arbitrations involve common questions of law or fact, (ii) no party to either arbitration shall be prejudiced, whether by delay or otherwise, by the consolidation, (iii) any party to the pending or contemplated arbitration which did not join an application for consolidation, or does not consent to such an application, is sufficiently related to the parties in the prior arbitration that their interests were sufficiently represented in the appointment of the tribunal for the prior arbitral tribunal, and (iv) consolidation would be more efficient that separate arbitral proceedings.
Section 8.14    Consent to Jurisdiction.  Any Proceeding seeking to obtain a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration in connection with this Agreement shall and may be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, where such court does not have jurisdiction, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware (“Delaware Courts”), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts thereto) in any such Proceeding and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to venue laid therein, any objection on the grounds of forum non conveniens, or any objection based on or on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such Proceeding in any Delaware Court (and of the appropriate appellate courts thereto).  Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and agrees that service of process in any such Proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of Delaware, in any manner permitted by Applicable Law or, without limiting the foregoing, in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.01.

SOFTWARE LICENSING AGREEMENT

 

This Software Licensing Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of November 2nd, 2016 (“Effective Date”), by and between SiteHelix Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its corporate office located at 3139 Old Mill Circle, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121 (“SiteHelix”), and Overstock.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with a place of business at 799 W. Coliseum Way, Midvale, Utah 84047 (“Overstock”).  The parties agree as follows:

 

WHEREAS, the President of Overstock with responsibility for retail operations is Saum Noursalehi (“Mr. Noursalehi”); and

 

WHEREAS, Mr. Noursalehi is a co-founder, director and owner of approximately 62% of the equity interest in SiteHelix; and

 

WHEREAS, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Overstock has approved Overstock’s entry into this Agreement pursuant to Overstock’s Related Party Transactions Policy and has established certain guidelines, parameters and conditions relating to this Agreement and the arrangement between Overstock and SiteHelix (the “SiteHelix Guidelines”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Overstock has also approved Overstock’s entry into this Agreement pursuant to Overstock’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, subject to the guidelines, parameters and conditions set forth in the SiteHelix Guidelines;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                      PURPOSE.

 

1.1                               Purpose.  The purpose of this Agreement is for SiteHelix to provide a license allowing Overstock to use SiteHelix’s proprietary software to provide a self-optimizing user interface and improve customer conversion rates for traffic on Overstock’s websites (“Purpose”).

 

2.                                      GRANT AND ACCEPTANCE OF LICENSE.

 

2.1                               SiteHelix License to Overstock.  During the Term (as defined below) of this Agreement, SiteHelix hereby grants to Overstock and Overstock accepts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (“License”) to possess and use SiteHelix’s proprietary software (“SiteHelix Software”) for the Purpose set forth above.  SiteHelix retains all right, title, and interest in and to the SiteHelix Software, and Overstock has no rights except as provided herein. Overstock may not transfer or sublicense the SiteHelix Software to any third party, in whole or in part, in any form, whether modified or unmodified.  SiteHelix may provide additional detail concerning the License which may be set forth in one or more schedules, statements of work, order forms, work orders, or other documents attached hereto and expressly made subject to this Agreement, including any amendments thereto (each a “Schedule”).

 

3.                                      TERM AND TERMINATION.

 

3.1                               Term. The term (“Term”) of the Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and continue until terminated in accordance with Section 3.2 below.

 

3.2                               Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party. Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party if: (a) the other party is in default of this Agreement and fails to cure, or begin implementation of a mutually-agreed-upon plan to cure, such default within 30 days of written notice from the other party specifying the nature of such default and requiring its remedy; (b) the use of the SiteHelix Software noticeably reduces the performance of Overstock’s website or otherwise presents a meaningful threat to Overstock’s business or reputation, which Overstock can document by its written records; or (c) if Overstock determines that it can obtain substantially the same services from an unrelated person or entity at a lower cost, or better services from an unrelated person or entity for substantially the same cost.

 

3.3                               Effects of Termination.  Except as provided herein, each party must destroy, delete, or purge the other party’s Confidential Information (as defined below), including any active or readily accessible copies, upon the earlier of: (a) termination of the Agreement or the applicable Schedule; or (b) expiration of the license period described above. Upon request, the destroying party will provide written certification of destruction.

 

 

4.                                      CONSIDERATION, PAYMENT, AND TAXES.

 

4.1                               Pricing.  Overstock agrees to pay SiteHelix for the License in accordance with the pricing set forth in each Schedule.

 

4.2                               Payment. Payments, as set forth on each applicable Schedule, are due monthly or within 30 days from receipt of invoice (if sent via electronic transmission, Overstock receipt is deemed to be the date of such transmission).  If Overstock disputes the validity of an invoiced fee, Overstock must provide prompt written notice to SiteHelix stating the details of any such dispute.  If only a portion on an invoice is in dispute, Overstock shall pay all undisputed amounts in accordance with the terms of this section.  Acceptance by SiteHelix of any partial payment does not constitute a waiver of the disputed amounts.  If SiteHelix disputes the amount of any payment, it shall notify Overstock in writing within 30 days from receipt of such disputed payment.  Any undisputed amounts not paid within 30 days of the date of invoice shall accrue interest at a rate of one percent per month or the maximum lawful rate, whichever is less.

 

5.                                      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

 

5.1                               SiteHelix Intellectual Property. The following “SiteHelix Intellectual Property” shall be and remain the sole property of SiteHelix: (a) SiteHelix Software including any original files, copies, or translations; (b) all systems, mechanisms, hardware configurations, or other tools created or used by SiteHelix to build a database or develop the SiteHelix Software; (c) all inventions, discoveries, works, materials, products, devices, coding, designs, specifications, processes, or other information or documentation created or acquired by SiteHelix outside the scope of this Agreement or prior to the granting of this License; and (d) any intellectual property related to (a) through (c). Overstock shall have no interest in, or claim to, SiteHelix Intellectual Property, or any derivatives thereof or modifications or adaptations thereto, except as specifically granted herein. SiteHelix may reuse any ideas, concepts or know-how developed or acquired during the performance of this Agreement, exclusive of Overstock Confidential Information.

 

5.2                               Overstock Intellectual Property. The following “Overstock Intellectual Property” shall be and remain the sole property of Overstock: (a) any Overstock data, including, without limitation, any customer data provided for or arising from the implementation of the SiteHelix Software; (b) all systems, mechanisms, hardware configurations, or other tools created or used by Overstock in its business or to build a database, integrate or otherwise make the SiteHelix Software functional; (c) all inventions, discoveries, works, materials, products, devices, coding, designs, specifications, processes, or other information or documentation created or acquired by Overstock outside the scope of this Agreement or prior to the granting of this License; and (d) any intellectual property related to (a) through (c). SiteHelix shall have no interest in, or claim to, Overstock Intellectual Property, or any derivatives thereof or modifications or adaptations thereto, except as specifically granted herein. Overstock may reuse any ideas, concepts or know-how developed or acquired during the performance of this Agreement, exclusive of SiteHelix Confidential Information.

 

6.                                      CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

6.1                               Confidential Information. During the Term, the parties may, either pursuant to a Schedule or as part of discussions, demonstrations, tests or analyses related to a potential business project between the parties, disclose to one another, or other entities may disclose to a party on the other party’s behalf, certain confidential information (collectively, “Confidential Information”), including, without limitation: (a) with respect to Overstock, Overstock Intellectual Property, any customer data, mailing lists, product designs, technology, systems, business and marketing plans, and product strategies; (b) with respect to SiteHelix, SiteHelix Intellectual Property, customer data, pricing information, product designs, technology, capabilities, specifications, or code; (c) the terms or conditions of this Agreement, which shall be the Confidential Information of both parties; and (d) any other materials marked or which are or should be reasonably considered “confidential” or “proprietary.”

 

6.2                               Obligations. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the unauthorized access to or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information, including derivative works, modifications, or adaptations.  Each party will limit access to the other party’s Confidential Information to its own or its Affiliates’ employees, agents, contractors, and consultants (“Personnel”) strictly on a “need to know” basis; provided, however, that such Personnel have executed an agreement with such party containing confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those contained herein.  Each party shall have the right, after twenty (20) business days’ written notice, to inspect the other party’s facilities during normal business hours for the purpose of reviewing security policies and procedures and to ensure that the Confidential Information is not being misused or used in an unauthorized manner.  Such inspections shall occur no more frequently than once per any twelve-month period during the Term of this Agreement.  Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Schedule, each party shall promptly destroy and purge from its system all of the other party’s Confidential Information then held and, upon request, certify such destruction and purge in writing.

 

2

 

6.3                               Injunctive Relief. The unauthorized disclosure of any aspect of Confidential Information is likely to give rise to irreparable injury which may be inadequately compensable in damages.  Accordingly, either party may obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of Section 6, in addition to any other legal remedies that may be available, and each party consents to the obtaining of such injunctive relief.

 

6.4                               Unauthorized Disclosure. Each party will, as soon as reasonably practical after discovery, report to the other party any unauthorized disclosure or access to the other party’s Confidential Information, subject to any reasonable restrictions placed on the timing of such notice by a law enforcement or regulatory agency investigating the incident, and take all reasonable measures to prevent any further unauthorized disclosure or access.

 

6.5       Mandated Disclosures. If a receiving Party is required to provide Confidential Information of a disclosing party to any court or government agency pursuant to a written court order, subpoena, regulatory demand, or process of law (“Mandated Disclosure”), the receiving Party must: (a) unless prohibited by applicable law, provide the disclosing party with prompt written notice and reasonable cooperation if a protective order is sought; (b) take reasonable steps to limit any such disclosure only to the Confidential Information required to be compliant with the mandated Disclosure; and (c) continue to otherwise protect all Confidential Information disclosed in response to such Mandated Disclosure.  The parties acknowledge that Overstock shall have the right to file the agreement publicly and to make any disclosure regarding the Agreement and the relationship with SiteHelix that the Company deems reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time, including without limitation disclosure of any information required by Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

 

6.6                               Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the party receiving the information; (b) was in the lawful possession of the party receiving the information prior to the disclosure and had not been obtained either directly or indirectly from the party disclosing the information; (c) is lawfully disclosed by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by the party receiving the information without use of, or reference to, Confidential Information of the other party.

 

6.7                               Encryption and Prohibited Data.  Each party must encrypt any personally identifiable information, using industry standard encryption measures, before transferring such information to the other party over a public network or on physical media. Unless expressly authorized in a Schedule, each party shall not provide to the other party, or permit any third party to provide to one party on the other party’s behalf, any of the following information (“Prohibited Data”): (a) a government-issued identification number (e.g., Social Security Number, driver’s license number, state identification number, or passport number); (b) a financial or customer account number, including financial institution or bank account number or a credit or debit card number; (c) information regarding an individual’s health or medical condition, including Protected Health information, as defined in 45 CFR 160.103; (d) unique biometric data or digital representation of biometric data; (e) an individual’s full date of birth; (f) maiden name of the individual’s mother; (g) individual’s digitized or other electronic signature; or (h) a user name, email address or other unique electronic identifier or routing code, which is sent in combination with a personal identification code, password, or security question and answer that would permit access to an online account. If either party should transfer Prohibited Data in violation of this Section, the receiving party shall immediately notify the disclosing party and inform the disclosing party of the date, time, and other pertinent information related to the transfer so the disclosing party may take the steps necessary to remove the Prohibited Data from its systems.

 

7.                                      WARRANTIES.

 

7.1                               SiteHelix Warranties. SiteHelix warrants that: (a) it has the necessary equipment, computer capacity, software, programs, and trained personnel to properly provide the SiteHelix Software consistent with standard industry practices; (b) it will provide the SiteHelix Software in a professional and workmanlike manner; (c) it has implemented and will maintain an information security program that contains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are appropriate to its size and complexity, the nature and scope of its activities, and the sensitivity of any consumer information at issue; and (d) SiteHelix has all right, title and license to disclose the SiteHelix Software.

 

7.2                               Overstock Warranties. For any data about a consumer or individual disclosed to SiteHelix by Overstock or by a third party on Overstock’s behalf, Overstock warrants that it shall not instruct SiteHelix to process or to take any other action with such data Overstock knows or should reasonably know would violate an applicable law, Overstock’s own published privacy policies, or any other published privacy policies or notice and disclosure statements under which such data was collected.

 

7.3                               Mutual Warranties. Each party warrants to the other that: (a) it has full power and authority to enter into and perform the Agreement; (b) the execution and delivery of the Agreement have been duly authorized; (c) the Agreement does not violate any law, statute, or regulation and does not breach any other agreement or covenant to which it is a party or

is bound; (d) its Confidential Information has been legally obtained; (e) the provision of its Confidential Information to the other does not violate any laws or agreements with third parties; (g) Overstock’s conduct, with respect to this Agreement is, at all times, subject to the SiteHelix Guidelines; and (h) it will otherwise comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS SECTION 7 OR IN A SCHEDULE, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES HEREUNDER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR WITH RESPECT TO SITEHELIX DATA, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR CURRENTNESS.

 

7.5                               Suspension of Performance. Either party may suspend or discontinue this License if, in its reasonable judgment, the continued use of the License would violate any applicable law, rule, or regulation.  Such action shall not constitute a default under this Agreement.  The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to modify the SiteHelix Software or deliver replacement products. If an alternative method cannot be reasonably implemented, SiteHelix will refund any fees pre-paid by Overstock for the remainder of the Term.

 

8.                                      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

 

8.1                               Indirect Damages. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH BELOW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF INCOME, REVENUE, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, BUT NOT INCLUDING ANY FEES PAYABLE HEREUNDER), EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

 

8.2                               Aggregate Liability.  EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH BELOW, EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR ARE RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY APPLICABLE SCHEDULE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TWELVE TIMES THE AVERAGE MONTHLY FEES PAID BY OVERSTOCK UNDER THE SCHEDULE(S) TO WHICH SUCH LIABILITY RELATES.

 

8.3                               Exclusions and Miscellaneous. The limitations in this Section 8: (a) shall not apply to a party’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9 or to damages resulting from a party’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct; and (b) shall apply regardless of the legal theory or form under which any action is brought. For purposes of this Agreement, “gross negligence” shall mean the intentional failure to perform a manifest duty in reckless disregard of the consequences. Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other party is responsible.

 

9.                                      INDEMNIFICATION.

 

9.1                               General. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other party, its agents, and its employees harmless from and against any third-party claim, action, or liability (including damages, costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may arise against the indemnified party as the result of: (a) injuries or property damage caused by the indemnifying party’s employees; (b) the indemnifying party’s failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations; and (c) the misappropriation or misuse of the indemnified party’s Confidential Information by the indemnifying party.  The indemnifying party shall have the right to exercise reasonable control over any litigation within the scope of this indemnity; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in any such litigation insofar as it concerns claims against it.  That right to participate includes the indemnified party’s right to select and retain counsel to represent it at the indemnified party’s own expense.

 

9.2                               Infringement.

 

(a)                                 Except as provided below, each party shall defend and indemnify the other from and against any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim that the SiteHelix Software provided to it by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Overstock-provided data or other content, or Confidential Information) infringe a valid patent, trademark or copyright, or misappropriate a trade secret of a third party, provided that: (i) the indemnified party has provided prompt written notice of such claim and reasonable cooperation, information, and assistance in connection therewith, and (ii) the indemnifying party shall have sole control and authority with respect to the defense, settlement, or compromise of any such claim.

 

(b)                                 Section 9.2(a) states the entire liability of SiteHelix and the sole and exclusive remedy of Overstock with respect to any claim of infringement.  Neither party shall have any liability or obligation to the other for any infringement claim to the extent caused by or based upon: (i) the combination of materials with other products or services not furnished or authorized by the party providing the materials; or (ii) additions or modifications made to the materials after delivery that are not made by the party providing the materials or authorized by this Agreement.

 

4

 

9.3                               Failure to Notify. No party shall have any obligation to defend or indemnify the other party pursuant to this Section 9 if the indemnifying party is not notified promptly of the claim and is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnified party shall cooperate to the extent necessary in the defense of any claim within the scope of these indemnities.

 

10.                               INSURANCE.  During the Term, each party shall maintain in force reasonable insurance coverage for claims arising out of the granting or acceptance of this License.

 

11.                               FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be liable for any losses arising out of the delay or interruption of its performance of obligations under the Agreement due to any act of God, act of governmental authority, act of public enemy, terrorism, war (whether or not declared), riot, flood, civil commotion, insurrection, severe weather conditions, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party delayed.

 

12.                               INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. SiteHelix shall provide the License and perform any ancillary services hereunder as an independent contractor, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any employment, association, partnership, joint venture, or relationship of principal and agent or master and servant between the parties hereto or any of Overstock’s affiliates or subsidiaries, or to provide either party with the right, power or authority, whether express or implied, to create any such duty or obligation on behalf of the other party.

 

13.                               PRESS RELEASE.  Promptly following the Effective Date, each party may issue a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement, with each press release to be approved by the other party.

SCHEDULE 1

 

SITEHELIX PLATFORM

 

1.                                      SITEHELIX OBLIGATIONS.  SiteHelix will provide the SiteHelix Software to Overstock or otherwise enable Overstock to use the SiteHelix Software in accordance with this Agreement.

 

2.                                      OVERSTOCK OBLIGATIONS.  Overstock will provide reasonable support and allow SiteHelix to input required tags, pixels or tracking code to enable the functionality of the SiteHelix Software.  Such tags, pixels or tracking code shall be hosted on Overstock servers.  Overstock may, upon agreement of the parties, provide additional data including customer segmentation data to enhance the performance of the SiteHelix Software.  Overstock agrees to perform initial, limited testing of the SiteHelix Software and the parties may mutually agree to expand Overstock’s use of the SiteHelix Software.

 

3.                                      DELIVERY.  Either party may transfer data by delivering it to the other party via an online delivery system or via an application programming interface, subject to testing and certification of the receiving party’s connectivity to the disclosing party in accordance with the receiving party’s then-current certification process. Any online delivery interface is provided “as is,” and without maintenance or technical support.  Each receiving party shall be responsible for the actions of any individual or entity acquiring access to the disclosing party’s data through a user-ID assigned to the receiving party.

 

4.                                      USE OF SITEHELIX SOFTWARE.  Overstock may, at its sole discretion, use the SiteHelix Software to market its products to its customers.  Overstock will monitor and track the results of each use of the SiteHelix Software pursuant to its normal and customary monitoring and tracking practices.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Overstock’s right to continue marketing to its customers in any manner, regardless of whether such customers are related to this Agreement.

 

5.                                      COMPENSATION.   In consideration for providing the SiteHelix Software, Overstock agrees to pay SiteHelix an amount equal to 20% of the Lift (as defined below) attributable to Overstock’s use of the SiteHelix Software.  Overstock’s compensation obligation under this provision shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement and payment of any previously owed, but unpaid Lift.

 

a.              “Lift” is defined as the quantifiable increase in Nectar generated by Overstock’s use of the SiteHelix Software.  “Nectar” is defined as the sum of the total dollar value of merchandise sold plus shipping revenue, minus any friction costs including, first cost, inbound and outbound shipping, handling, credit card fees, fraud processing, customer service, and returns fees, and minus site sale discounts and coupon discounts.

 

6.                                      CALCULATION OF LIFT.  Upon launch, Overstock shall run an A/B test to establish a baseline of Lift, which shall be the basis for compensation.  Overstock shall recalculate Lift in the event that there is an integration of additional pages, integration of new platforms, or upon a substantive SiteHelix release.  Lift will be monitored and calculated by Overstock in Overstock’s sole and absolute discretion.  Overstock will use commercially reasonable testing methods to demonstrate Lift including, without limitation, A/B testing, historical analysis, any similar method, or any combination of methods.   Overstock will provide a monthly report to SiteHelix showing the calculation of Lift.

 

7.                                      RIGHT TO AUDIT.  SiteHelix shall have the right to review Overstock’s calculation of Lift twice per calendar year.  Overstock agrees to provide the appropriate documentation pertaining to its calculation of Lift to SiteHelix and SiteHelix shall notify Overstock of any discrepancy.  In the instance of a discrepancy as to the calculation of Lift, the parties shall mutually agree on a resolution.
