3

 

of its Affiliates or, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 2.01(d), third Persons to provide to the Company, the Administrative Services in the manner and at the locations and level of service (including with respect to timing and priority) consistent with past practice and with the same standard of care as historically provided (for the respective Administrative Service) under the Advisory Agreement.  In connection with providing the Administrative Services, the Service Provider shall at all times during the term of this Agreement remain in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent there is a change to such laws, rules or regulations relating to the Administrative Services (whether identified by the Service Provider or the Company), all required changes to the Administrative Services resulting from such change in law will be considered as within the scope of the Administrative Services.

 

(c)           The Service Provider and its Affiliates provide software programs for utilization by the Company in the performance of certain Administrative Services.  If a vendor of any such software programs (or services) alleges that use of such software (or services) by the Company is not permitted under the terms of the applicable license agreement (or other agreement), the Service Provider shall give written notice thereof to the Company whereupon the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, and the Company shall cooperate with such negotiation, with such vendor for the Company’s continued use of such software (or services) or make such other alternative arrangements to enable the continued provision of the respective Administrative Service or portion thereof in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(d)           In addition to such employees of the Service Provider and its Affiliates that may be used to perform any of the Administrative Services, the Service Provider may retain any reputable third Person qualified to perform such Administrative Service or portion thereof (each, a “Subcontractor”) to assist the Service Provider in the performance of any of the Administrative Services, or to perform a particular Administrative Service or portion thereof, (i) without obtaining the consent of the Company, if the Service Provider pays the costs and reimbursable expenses of such Subcontractor and does not seek reimbursement from the Company for the costs and reimbursable expenses of such Subcontractor and (ii) after obtaining the prior written consent of the Company, if the costs and reimbursable expenses of such Subcontractor are to be paid directly by the Company or if the Service Provider is to be reimbursed by the Company for the costs and reimbursable expenses of such Subcontractor pursuant to Section 3.01(a).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Service Provider currently retains a Subcontractor and such Subcontractor is listed on Schedule 2.01(d) attached hereto or provided less than $10,000 in costs and expenses during the last twelve months  (each, an “Existing Subcontractor”), no consent of the Company will be required.  All Existing Subcontractors that account for costs and expenses in excess of $10,000 per annum are set forth on Schedule 2.01(d) attached hereto.  The Service Provider shall remain fully liable for all of the acts and omissions of each Subcontractor and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates for any claims arising out of or in connection with such acts or omissions, in each case pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement and as if the Service Provider itself were providing the subject Administrative Service or portion thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Company will

 

4

 

be required prior to the Service Provider causing any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates employed or contract personnel to perform any of the Administrative Services.

 

(e)           The Service Provider and its Affiliates shall have the right to shut down temporarily for maintenance purposes the operation of any facilities or systems providing or used to provide any Administrative Service consistent with past practice.  The Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to schedule any shutdown during the hours of 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Central Time, to minimize periods of unscheduled shutdown, to schedule each shutdown so as to minimize the disruption to the business operations of the Company and to give the Company sufficient advance notice of any shutdown.  With respect to the Administrative Services dependent on the operation of such facilities or systems, the Service Provider shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to provide such Administrative Services during the period that such facilities or systems are so shut down in compliance with this Agreement.

 

(f)            The Service Provider may modify an Administrative Service, including, without limitation, by implementing changes to the software or other information technology used to provide such Administrative Service, to the extent the same modification (including with respect to the scope, timing and quality of such Administrative Service) is made with respect to the Service Provider or its provision of such Administrative Service to Other Service Recipients consistent with past practice.  The Service Provider shall notify the Company of any such modification in advance.  The Service Provider’s responsibilities with respect to such Administrative Service shall be amended as necessary to conform to any such modification made pursuant to this Section 2.01(f).  If the Company requests that the Service Provider make a custom modification in connection with any Administrative Service, or otherwise alter the manner or level of service from past practice under the Advisory Agreement, and the Service Provider agrees to make such modification, the Company will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Service Provider and its Affiliates with respect thereto.  If at any time the Service Provider is unable to provide any Administrative Service to the Company, the Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly resume the provision of such Administrative Service.

 

2.02        Company’s Obligations.  The Company shall, as necessary to enable the provision of the Administrative Services by the Service Provider and its Affiliates and designees, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) provide timely responses to any information requested by the Service Provider and its Affiliates and designees; (b) provide access to the Company’s facilities, employees, assets and information and records regarding employment and personnel matters as requested by the Service Provider and its Affiliates and designees; and (c) obtain and maintain all hardware and other equipment, leases and contracts.  The Service Provider and its Affiliates and designees, when on the property of the Company or when given access to any equipment, computer, software, network or files owned or controlled by the Company, will conform to, and abide by, the reasonable policies and procedures of the Company concerning health, safety and security which have been made known to the Service Provider or its applicable Affiliates or designees in advance or which were applicable to the provision of such Administrative Service prior to the Effective Date.  The Service Provider and its Affiliates and designees shall be entitled to rely on any instructions or other information provided by

 

5

 

authorized personnel designated by the Company, and the Service Provider shall not be in breach of or in default under this Agreement as a result of any such reliance and shall not have any liability for acting in accordance with such instructions.

 

2.03        Exclusivity.

 

(a)           Other than pursuant hereto, the Company shall not contract with any Person to perform any Core Service prior to the date of termination of the respective Core Service, each Core Service being provided under this Agreement on an exclusive basis.  However, the Company may hire personnel to perform any Core Service with prior written notice to the Service Provider and if such personnel do not adversely affect the Service Provider’s cost or ability to provide in any material respect any Core Service.

 

(b)           The Company may hire personnel or contract with any Person at any time to provide any Non-Core Service; provided, however, that if the retention of such Person would adversely affect the Service Provider’s ability to provide in any material respect, or increase the Service Provider’s cost to provide, any Core Service (in the good faith judgment of the Services Provider), the prior written consent of the Service Provider shall be required, which consent may be withheld or granted in Service Provider’s sole discretion, however the withholding or granting of such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed.

 

(c)           The Company shall provide the Service Provider with no less than 20 days advance notice of its intention to retain any Person to provide any Non-Core Service other than Information Management, Cash Management, Marketing or Risk Management (subject to the Company providing notice to the Service Provider of such retention and cooperating with the Service Provider as provided in the Property Management Agreement), in each case as set forth on Annex A, and shall promptly provide the Service Provider with any reasonably requested information concerning such proposed engagement.  The Service Provider may, within 10 days following such notice and delivery of all such reasonably requested information, determine to cease providing all or part of such Non-Core Service which would remain to be provided hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Service Provider determines not to provide all or any part of any Non-Core Service, the Company may retain any Person to provide such portion of such Non-Core Service immediately upon such determination.

 

2.04        Other Activities of the Service Provider.

 

(a)           Nothing herein contained shall, consistent with past practice, (a) prevent the Service Provider or its Affiliates from engaging in other activities, including, the rendering of advice or services to Other Service Recipients; (b) limit or restrict the right of any director, manager, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Service Provider or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render advice or services of any kind to any other Person; or (c), with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein.

 

6

 

(b)           The Service Provider shall have the right and sole discretion to establish priorities, as between the Service Provider (and its Affiliates) and the Other Service Recipients, on the one hand, and the Company on the other hand, as to the provision of the Administrative Services; provided, however, that the Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to, maintain sufficient resources to perform the Administrative Services in accordance with this Agreement; and provided further that such prioritization shall be consistent with past practice (for the respective Administrative Service) under the Advisory Agreement.

 

2.05        Warranties.  The Service Provider represents, warrants, and covenants to, and agrees with, the Company that: (a) it has the full and unencumbered right and authority to enter into this Agreement; (b) nothing in this Agreement conflicts with or violates any other agreement to which the Service Provider is bound; and (c) subject to Section 2.01(c), it has and will maintain all approvals, rights, consents, licenses, leases, permits and authorizations necessary to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and grant the Company the right to access and use the Administrative Services.

 

2.06        DISCLAIMER.  THIS IS A SERVICE AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OR GUARANTIES, AND THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR GUARANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

ARTICLE III.: 
  SERVICE CHARGES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF SPECIFIED EXPENSES.

(a)           Annex A attached hereto  sets forth with respect to each of the Administrative Services a description of the charges for such Administrative Service or the basis for the determination thereof (the “Service Charges”).  In addition to the Service Charges, in connection with performance of each Administrative Service, the Company shall reimburse the Service Provider with respect to (i) costs of Subcontractors retained on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company (whose retention has been separately approved by the Company pursuant to Section 2.01(d) or who is retained by the Service Provider as of the Effective Date) and paid by the Service Provider or one of its Affiliates, including their products, services, materials and expenses, (ii) cost of materials, including without limitation, cost of software, provided, however, that in no event shall such reimbursement, after consideration of reimbursement payments received or due with respect to such materials from Other Service Recipients, exceed the cost of such materials, and (iii) out-of-pocket travel and other expenses, in each case consistent with past practice under the Advisory Agreement or otherwise contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Other Costs”).  All Other Costs will be reimbursed to the Service Provider by the Company; provided, however, that, any Other Costs will only be payable after the Company has received from the Service Provider reasonably detailed documentation to support the calculation of such amounts due to the Service Provider.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not incur any Service Charges for Non-

 

7

 

Core Services delivered by the Service Provider to the Company in connection with that certain License Agreement, between the Company and Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC, dated as of the date hereof, unless the Company and the Service Provider agree that such Non-Core Services are to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b)           Unless specifically indicated to the contrary, the pricing provided on Annex A attached hereto covers the Company’s current corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas (the “Headquarters”) and its other current corporate offices in Louisville, Kentucky, Atlanta, Georgia and Chicago, Illinois (together with the Headquarters, the “Corporate Offices”).

Following the termination of this Agreement, the Service Provider will promptly deliver an invoice to the Company for all Service Charges up to and including the date of termination and any Other Costs payable by the Company.

 

(b)           The Company will pay the undisputed amount of any invoice to the Service Provider in U.S. dollars within 30 days of the date of such invoice and provide written notice to the Service Provider of the amount of the invoice that the Company, in good faith, disputes at or before the time of payment. If the Company fails to pay such invoice amount, or provide such notice, by such date, the Company will be obligated to pay to the Service Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest on the unpaid and undisputed invoice amount at the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) per month and (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date the payment was due through the date of payment.  The Company and the Service Provider will make a good faith effort to resolve billing disputes as expeditiously as possible.

With respect to each category of Core Services, the Company may terminate any such Core Service (in full, not in part) beginning on June 30, 2015 for an amount (in cash) equal to 0.75 times the gross amount of all Service Charges payable with respect to such terminated Core Service for the trailing 12 month period ending with the last full month prior to the delivery of notice of exercise of the option; provided, however, that the Company may terminate Shareholder Services (x) during the period from June 30, 2013 through June 29, 2014 for an amount (in cash) equal to 2.0 times the gross amount of all Services Charges and Other Costs payable with respect to Shareholder Services for the trailing 12 month period ending with the last full month prior to the delivery of notice of exercise of the option and (y) during the period from June 30, 2014 through June 29, 2015 for an amount (in cash) equal to 1.25 times the gross amount of all Service Charges and Other Costs payable with respect to Shareholder Services for the trailing 12 month period ending with the last full month prior to the delivery of notice of exercise of the option.  Either the Company or the Service Provider may terminate Real Estate Transactional Support services beginning on June 30, 2013, subject to the advance notice requirement set forth in Section 4.02(e) and may terminate Internal Audit, Information Management, Risk Management, Marketing or Cash Management services at any time subject to the advance notice requirement set forth in Section 4.02(e), in each case without payment of any termination compensation amount.  Any such termination shall be by written notice, which written notice shall be accompanied or preceded by payment of the entire termination fee, if any, due in connection with such termination.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding Section 4.02(a):

 

(i)            Either party may terminate any category of Administrative Services due to a material breach of this Agreement (subject to the following notice and cure provisions) with respect to such category of Administrative Services by the other party.  The non-breaching party shall provide written notice to the breaching party of the alleged breach, and the breaching party shall have forty-five (45) days to cure the breach. If the breach has not been cured within this forty-five day period, then the non-breaching party may terminate the respective category of Administrative Services upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice.

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding Section 4.02(b)(i), with respect to Information Technology Services only, if such breach (A) is a continuing breach that causes a material adverse effect on the operations of the non-breaching party, (B) was not caused primarily by the non-breaching party, and (C) was not caused by a Force

 

9

 

Majeure Event, then following the provision of written notice by the non-breaching party to the breaching party, the breaching party shall have seventy-two (72) hours to cure such breach or provide for a reasonably acceptable temporary workaround and, if the breach has not been cured or such workaround been delivered within such seventy-two hour period, the non-breaching party may immediately terminate the Information Technology Services without payment of any termination compensation amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Information Technology Services are not terminable by such non-breaching party pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(ii), then such non-breaching party shall nevertheless have the right to terminate such Information Technology Services pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(i), to the extent provided for in Section 4.02(b)(i).

 

(iii)          If any category of Administrative Services is terminated pursuant to Section 4.02(b), no other category of Administrative Services shall be affected by such termination.

 

(c)           Termination of this Agreement or an Administrative Service shall not impact rights accrued or obligations incurred by the Service Provider prior to such termination, such as the right of the Service Provider to receive payment of Service Charges for Administrative Services rendered before termination and the right to reimbursement for any Other Costs associated with the provision of the Administrative Services or the respective Administrative Service, whether payable before or following such termination, including amounts payable by the Service Provider or its Affiliates under any contract with a third party related to the provision of Administrative Services or the respective terminated Administrative Service, which third party contract is not then terminable; provided, however, that the Service Provider shall terminate such third party contract as soon as such contract is terminable and does not otherwise incur optional costs of expenses in connection with such third party contract.  In no event shall the Service Provider be entitled to reimbursement for the costs of any Subcontractor engaged by the Service Provider pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.01(d).  Termination of this Agreement or an Administrative Service shall not impact rights accrued or obligations incurred by the Company prior to such termination, such as the obligation of the Service Provider to provide Administrative Services in accordance with the applicable standards set forth herein prior to such termination.

 

(d)           In connection with any termination, in addition to any Other Costs, the Company shall reimburse the Service Provider for all Exit Costs; provided, however, that the Exit Costs for the Administrative Services (taken as a whole) shall not exceed $350,000; provided, further, however, that the Service Provider shall not be responsible for, and the Company shall reimburse the Service Provider for, all Exit Costs (i) with respect to arrangements or contracts the entry into which the Company has previously consented in writing after the date of this Agreement (other than arrangements or contracts or amendments or modifications thereto (other than the arrangement with DST Systems referenced in clause (ii) below) in existence as of the date of this Agreement that are renewed or replaced on the same terms and conditions with respect to Exit Costs), which consent may be withheld or granted in the Company’s sole discretion; and (ii)

 

10

 

payable to DST Systems, Inc. pursuant to that certain Transfer Agency Agreement dated February 22, 2008 to which the Company is a party, as amended from time to time.

 

(e)           The Company will give the Service Provider not less than 90 days’ advance written notice of its intention to terminate any of the Administrative Services.  For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the termination of any Administrative Service by either the Company or the Service Provider, while notice of termination may be delivered prior to the date such Administrative Service may be terminated, termination shall not be effective until on or after the date such Administrative Service may be terminated as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Company may, at its option, request transition services, which may reasonably be needed by the Company in connection with the orderly and expeditious transition of the services provided by the Service Provider to a third-party provider (“Post-Termination Services”).  The Company shall provide to the Service Provider at least thirty (30) days, advance written notice specifying in reasonable detail the Post-Termination Services required, and the Service Provider and the Company shall agree in writing to the scope of such Post-Termination Services and the other pricing, terms and conditions under which they will be provided.

 

(g)           The terms and conditions of Articles V, VI and VII shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s Confidential Information includes the Company Materials and any information relating to the Company’s use of the Administrative Services.  Confidential Information does not include information the receiving party can document: (i) is already in the receiving party’s possession, provided that such information is not known by the receiving party to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to the providing party, (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the receiving party, (iii) becomes available to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the providing party, provided that such source is not known by the receiving party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to the providing party, or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to information from the providing party.

 

(b)           By virtue of this Agreement, either party may have access to Confidential Information of the other party.  The parties agree to hold each other’s Confidential Information in confidence and be bound by the obligations set forth in this Article V during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 2 years thereafter and in perpetuity in respect of Personal Information.  The receiving party agrees not to make the disclosing party’s Confidential Information available in any form to any third party or directly or indirectly, communicate, publish, display, loan, give or otherwise disclose any Confidential Information, or permit access to or possession of such Confidential Information, other than as necessary for its performance under this Agreement, unless, and only to the minimum extent, required by law or to satisfy governmental regulatory requirements (in which case the party seeking to make such disclosure shall notify the other party of its intent to make such disclosure, and, to the maximum extent available, such party shall seek protective treatment for such disclosed Confidential Information), or to use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information for any purpose beyond the scope of this Agreement.  In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 5.01 and the Annex B, each party agrees to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the other party’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees, contractors or agents in violation of the terms of this Agreement.

 

12

 

(c)           In the event of any breach of these confidentiality terms by a receiving party, the parties acknowledge that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for damages suffered by the disclosing party, and the disclosing party may be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctions or orders for specific performance, in an action instituted in any court having subject matter jurisdiction, in addition to all other remedies available to the disclosing party with respect thereto at law.  A party’s pursuit of or obtaining equitable relief in the event of a breach of this Agreement shall not preclude that party from recovering damages from the breaching party subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

5.03        Return and Destruction of Information.  Promptly after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or, if applicable, the Post-Termination Services: (a) all the Company’s Confidential Information (including any Company Materials) in the Service Provider’s possession or control shall be returned to the Company by the Service Provider or, at the Company’s request, be destroyed; provided, however, that, subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, the Service Provider may retain (and will not be obliged to erase, or destroy) one electronic copy of any Confidential Information created as a result of automatic electronic back-up procedures; (b) all electronic copies of the Company’s Confidential Information (including any Company Materials) in the Service Provider’s possession or control shall be deleted in a manner that makes the Confidential Information non-readable and non-retrievable; and (c) the Service Provider will certify to the Company, in writing, that the Service Provider has complied with its obligations under this Section 5.03; provided, however, that in each case the return, destruction or deletion of such Company Materials other than Personal Information (except Personal Information that must be retained by the Service Provider in accordance with applicable laws) shall be subject to the Service Provider’s document retention policy as in effect on the date hereof, and that the Service Provider may retain one copy of the Company Materials solely to the extent required to support the Service Charges and for tax and accounting purposes.  Notwithstanding any such return, destruction, deletion or retention of the Company’s Confidential Information, the agreements and obligations of the Service Provider under Section 5.02 shall remain unaffected thereby.

 

5.04        Disaster Recovery Plan.  The Service Provider shall maintain a written disaster recovery plan (the “Disaster Recovery Plan”), a copy of which will be provided to the Company promptly upon availability, designed to ensure the continuing provision of the Administrative Services in accordance with this Agreement, notwithstanding any disaster or event which would otherwise adversely affect the provision of the Administrative Services.  The Disaster Recovery Plan, which may change from time to time, is available upon request from the Service Provider consistent with past practice.  The Service Provider shall bear any costs associated the Disaster Recovery Plan.

 

ARTICLE VI.

6.01        Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, managers, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,

 

13

 

to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Maryland.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Service Provider shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any activity which the Service Provider shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Section 5.02.  Any indemnification of the Service Provider may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from stockholders of the Company.

 

6.02        Indemnification by Service Provider.  The Service Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, managers, partners and employees, from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Service Provider’s bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, willful misconduct, gross negligence  or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement.

 

6.03        Limitation on Liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company agrees that the Service Provider will not be liable to the Company, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), warranty or any other legal or equitable grounds, for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential losses, damages or expenses of the Company.

 

ARTICLE VII.
  MISCELLANEOUS

 

7.01        Assignment to an Affiliate.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, transferred, delegated or otherwise disposed of (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise), by the Service Provider without the prior written consent of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Service Provider may, without the prior consent of the Company, assign, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, this Agreement, or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC, in whole or in part; provided, however, that such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC at all times following such assignment, transfer, delegation or other disposition and, if this Agreement is in whole assigned, transferred, delegated or disposed to such an Affiliate, signs a joinder agreement and is bound hereunder, but no such assignment, transfer, delegation or other disposition shall relieve the Service Provider of any of its obligations hereunder, (b) the Service Provider may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Company, and (c) this Section 7.01 shall not restrict a Change of Control of Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC.   Any purported assignment, transfer, delegation or disposition by the Service Provider in violation of this Section 7.01 shall be null and void ab initio.

 

7.02        Relationship of Service Provider and Company.  The Company and the Service Provider are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

 

14

 

7.03        Treatment Under Texas Margin Tax.  For purposes of the Texas margin tax, the Service Provider’s performance of the services specified in this Agreement will cause the Service Provider to conduct part of the active trade or business of the Company, and the compensation specified in Article III includes both the payment of management fees and the reimbursement of specified costs incurred in the Service Provider’s conduct of the active trade or business of the Company.  Therefore, the Service Provider and Company intend the Service Provider to be, and shall treat the Service Provider as, a “management company” within the meaning of Section 171.0001(11) of the Texas Tax Code.  The Company and the Service Provider will apply Sections 171.1011(m-1) and 171.1013(f)-(g) of the Texas Tax Code to the Company’s reimbursements paid to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement of specified costs and wages and compensation.  The Service Provider and the Company further recognize and intend that (i) as a result of the relationship created by this Agreement, reimbursements paid to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement are “flow-though funds” that the Service Provider is mandated by law or fiduciary duty to distribute, within the meaning of Section 171.1011(f) of the Texas Tax Code, and (ii) as a result of the Service Provider’s contractual duties under this Agreement, certain reimbursements under this Agreement are “flow-through funds” mandated by contract to be distributed within the meaning of Section 171.1011(g) of the Texas Tax Code.  The terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the characterization of the Service Provider as a “management company” as defined in Section 171.0001(11), and with the characterization of the reimbursements as “flow-though funds” within the meaning of Section 171.1011(f)-(g) of the Texas Tax Code.

 

7.04        Notices.  Any notice, report, approval, waiver, consent or other communication (each, a “Notice”) required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered: (i) when delivered personally; (ii) one business day following deposit with a recognized overnight courier service that obtains a receipt, provided such receipt is obtained, and provided further that the deposit occurs prior to the deadline imposed by such service for overnight delivery; (iii) when transmitted, if sent by electronic mail, provided a read receipt is delivered to the sender, in each case provided such communication is addressed to the intended recipient thereof as set forth below:

Either party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give Notice in writing to the other party of a change in its address for the purposes of this Section 7.04.  The failure of any Party to give notice shall not relieve any other Party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

 

7.05        Modification.  This Agreement shall not be changed, modified, or amended, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective permitted successors or permitted assignees.

 

7.06        Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

 

7.07        Choice of Law; Venue.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, and venue for any action brought with respect to any claims arising out of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in Dallas County, Texas.

 

7.08        Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

 

7.09        Waiver.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.  No

 

16

 

waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

 

7.10        Interpretation.  The words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, and the words “such as”, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  The terms “hereof,” “hereunder,” “herein” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties, and consequently this Agreement shall be interpreted without reference to any rule or precept of law to the effect that any ambiguity in a document be construed against the drafter.

 

7.11        Gender; Number.  Words used herein regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context requires.

7.13        Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed with counterpart signature pages or in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories.

 

7.14        Facsimile Signatures.  A facsimile or other electronic signature on the signature pages hereto shall for all purposes be deemed an original and shall bind the signor as if such facsimile or other electronic signature were an original.

 

7.15        Non-Solicitation.  Subject to Section 2.2 of the Modification Agreement, during the period commencing on the date on which this Agreement is entered into and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the Service Provider’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of the Service Provider or its Affiliates or (ii) hire, on behalf of the Company or any other person or entity, any person who has left the employment or service within the one year period following the termination of that person’s employment or service with the Service Provider or its Affiliates.  During the period commencing on the date hereof through and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not, whether for its own account or for the account of any other Person, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the Service Provider or its Affiliates, or endeavor to entice away from the Service Provider or its Affiliates, any person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during the preceding one-year period was, a customer of the Service Provider or its Affiliates.  Upon the termination of any Administrative Service pursuant to Section 4.2(a), Service Provider shall waive the non-solicitation and non-hire provisions of this Section 7.15 with respect to any employee of Service Provider or any of its Affiliates providing such Administrative Service

 

17

 

solely to the Company during the 2 month period ending on the date of termination of such Administrative Service to allow such employee to work for the Company.

 

7.16        Survival of Advisory Agreement Provisions.  This Agreement amends and restates the Advisory Agreement in its entirety except in respect of the provisions of the Advisory Agreement specified in Section 6.5 of the Modification Agreement.  Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Advisory Agreement into this Agreement, those provisions of the Advisory Agreement specified in Section 6.5 of the Modification Agreement as surviving the amendment and restatement of the Advisory Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

7.17        No Presumption Against Drafter.  Each of the parties has jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by each of the parties, and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
