EXHIBIT 10.7.4
HQ GLOBAL WORKPLACES
MASTER OFFICE SERVICE AGREEMENT
This Master Office Service Agreement ("Master Agreement") is dated November 1,
----------------
1999 and is entered into in New York, NY by and between HQ GLOBAL WORKPLACES,
INC. (hereinafter "HQ") and Annuncio Software (hereinafter "Client").
--------------- -------------------
1. OFFICE. Client shall execute an Office Service Agreement ("Office
Agreement") for each HQ Global Workplaces center location where Client licenses
an Office and is provided services by HQ. Furthermore, each Office Agreement
shall be attached as a schedule to this Master Agreement. Furthermore, all of
the terms and conditions of each Office Agreement shall be incorporated into and
become part of this Master Agreement.
Client shall, as part of the Base Services, be granted a license to use the
Office and shall have access to the Office twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven
(7) days a week. HQ agrees to provide office cleaning, maintenance services,
electric heating and air conditioning to the Office for normal office use in
such reasonable quantities and during such reasonable hours as shall be
determined by HQ or the Building. In addition, Client will have reasonable use
of HQ common area facilities during normal business hours. Client shall use the
Office and common areas of the HQ Global Workplaces center solely for general
office use in the conduct of the Client's business. HQ agrees, at its own cost
and expense, to furnish and to install furniture, fixtures and equipment that
are in HQ's sole opinion necessary to provide suitable office facilities for the
Client upon such terms and conditions routinely applicable to the facility;
provided that such furniture, fixtures and equipment shall remain HQ's property.
If, for any reason whatsoever, HQ is unable to provide use of the Office or
a mutually agrees upon alternative Office at the time herein agreed, Client may
either extend the Commencement Date until the Office becomes available or, as
its sole remedy for such failure, cancel and terminate this Agreement if the use
of the Office is not available to Client within five (5) business days after
written notice to HQ by Client, in which case any prior payments shall be fully
refunded. No such failure to provide use of the Office shall subject HQ to any
liability for loss or damage, nor affect the validity of this Agreement or the
obligations of the Client hereunder.
HQ will have the right to relocate Client to another office in the HQ
Global Workplaces center, and to substitute such other office for the Office
licensed hereby, provided such other office is substantially similar in area and
configuration to Client's contracted office and provided Client shall incur no
increase in the Monthly Base Office Fee or any relocation cost or expense.
2. SERVICES. HQ agrees, in consideration of the Monthly Base Office Fee,
to provide Base Services to Client as described in Schedule "A". From time to
time during the Term, HQ may, at its option, make other services available to
Client of the nature described in Schedule "B", at fees that are from time to
time established by HQ. Fees are subject to change at HQ's discretion, with
thirty (30) days written notice to the Client from the HQ Global Workplaces
center. HQ shall be under no obligation to provide Schedule "B" services if the
monthly cost thereof exceeds the Refundable Services Retainer. In the event
Client is in default of this Agreement, HQ may, at its option, cease furnishing
any and all services including telephone services.
Client will not offer to any party in the HQ Global Workplaces center or
the Building, any of the services that HQ provides to its clients including, but
not limited to, the services described in Schedule "A" or "B".
Client acknowledges that due to the imperfect nature of verbal, written and
electronic communications, neither HQ nor HQ's Landlord or any of its officers,
directors, employees, shareholders, partners, agents or representatives shall be
responsible for damages, direct or consequential, that may result from the
failure of HQ to furnish any service, including but not limited to the service
of conveying messages, communications and other utility or services required
under this Master Agreement, Office Service Agreement or agreed to by HQ.
Client's sole remedy and HQ's sole obligation for any failure to render any
service, any error or omission, or any delay or interruption with respect
thereto, is limited to an adjustment to Client's billing in an amount equal to
the charge for such service for the period during which the failure, delay or
interruption continues.
WITH THE SOLE EXCEPTION OF THE REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH, CLIENT
EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY AGREES TO WAIVE, AND AGREES NOT TO MAKE ANY CLAIM FOR
DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO LOST BUSINESS OR
PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF ANY FAILURE TO FURNISH ANY SERVICE, ANY ERROR OR
OMISSION WITH RESPECT THERETO, OR ANY DELAY OR INTERRUPTION OF THE SAME.
3. DURATION OF AGREEMENT. This Master Agreement can be terminated by
either party upon thirty (30) days written notice provided such notice is in
accordance with section 8(G), if and only if all of the licenses for office
space granted in accordance with the attached schedules have expired or been
terminated.
Upon any termination of this Master Agreement or any Office Agreement,
whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any revocation of Client's
license herein granted, the Client shall cease all use of the Office, the HQ
Global Workplaces center and all services immediately. For each and every month
or portion thereof that Client continues use of the Office after the termination
of this Master Agreement or any Office Agreement by lapse of time or otherwise,
without the express written consent of HQ. Client shall pay HQ an amount equal
to two (2) times the Monthly Base Office Fee computed on a per-month basis for
each month or portion thereof that Client continues the use of the Office.
4. PAYMENTS AND ESCALATIONS. Client agrees to pay to HQ the Monthly Base
Office Fee plus applicable sales or use taxes, in advance, on the first day of
each calendar month during the initial Term and all extensions thereof, without
any deduction, offset, notice or demand. If the Commencement Date shall be other
than the first day of a month, fees for any such month shall be prorated.
Charges for any Schedule "B" service purchased by Client from HQ shall be due
and payable on the 10th of the month following the order for any such service.
One year after the Commencement Date of an Office Agreement and each and
every anniversary date thereafter, the Monthly Base Office Fee will
automatically increase by an agreed upon percentage of the Monthly Base Office
Fee due for the month preceding such anniversary date. All Monthly Base Office
Fees and other sums payable hereunder shall be payable at the office of HQ or at
such other location or to any agent designated in writing by HQ. In addition to
any other sums due, Client shall pay monthly late charges equal to five percent
(5%) of all amounts that have not been paid to HQ within five (5) days of their
respective due dates. The parties agree that such late charges are fair and
reasonable compensation for costs incurred by HQ where there is
1 of 5
default in any payment due under this Master Agreement or an Office Agreement.
Upon the execution of an Office Agreement, Client shall pay HQ or its agent
the Refundable Services Retainer. The Refundable Services Retainer need not be
kept separate and apart from other funds of HQ, no interest shall be paid
thereon, and may be used by HQ to provide Schedule "A" and "B" services under
this Master Agreement. In addition to the Refundable Services Retainer, Client
will, upon execution of an Office Agreement, pay to HQ the Total Fixed Monthly
Charges for the first full month of the initial Term.
Client agrees that the Refundable Services Retainer shall not be used by
Client as payment for the Monthly Base Office Fee for the last month of the
Initial Term, or any extension thereof. In the event Client defaults in the
performance of any of the terms hereof, HQ may terminate this Master Agreement
and the license herein granted and may also use, apply or retain the whole, or
any part, of the Refundable Services Retainer for the payment of any service fee
or any other payment due hereunder, or for payment of any other sum that HQ may
spend by reason of Client's default. If Client shall, at the end of the term of
this Master Agreement, have fully and faithfully complied with all of the terms
and provisions of this Master Agreement, and surrendered all keys, access cards
and building passes, the Refundable Services Retainer, or any balance thereof,
shall be returned to Client within forty-five (45) days thereafter
5. DAMAGES AND INSURANCE. Client will not damage or deface the
furnishings, walls, floors or ceilings, nor make holes for the hanging of
pictures or make or suffer to be made any waste, obstruction or unlawful,
improper or offensive use of the Office or the common area facilities. Client
will not cause damage to any part of the Building or the property of HQ or
disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other licensee or occupant of the Building.
At the termination of this Master Agreement, the Office shall be in as good
condition as when Client commenced the use thereof, normal wear and tear
excepted. Client agrees to pay for repainting and cleaning fees for each Office
occupied less than twelve (12) months by Client, at a cost not to exceed Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per Office. Client is responsible for costs of
repairing any damage to office or furniture and to return each office to HQ in
good condition. HQ will have the right, at any time and from time to time, to
enter the Office to inspect the same, to make such repairs and alterations as HQ
reasonably deems necessary, and the cost of any such repair resulting from the
act or omission of Client shall be reimbursed to HQ by Client upon demand. HQ
shall have the right to show the Office to prospective Clients, provided HQ will
use reasonable efforts not to disrupt Client's business.
HQ or Client and its respective directors, licensors, officers, agents,
servants and employees shall not, to the extent permitted by law, except upon
the affirmative showing of HQ's or Client's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, be liable for, and Client or HQ waives all right of recovery against
such entities and individuals for any damage or claim with respect to any injury
to person or damage to, or loss or destruction of any property of Client or HQ,
its employees, authorized persons and invitees due to any act, omission or
occurrence in or about the HQ Global Workplaces center or the Building. Without
limitation of any other provision hereof, each party hereto hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party hereto, and such other
party's officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, agents and
representatives from and against any liability to third parties arising out of,
in the case of Client as an indemnifying party, Client's use and occupancy of
the Office or any act or omission constituting gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Client or Client's officers, directors, employees, shareholders,
partners, agents, representatives, contractors, customers or invitees and, in
the case of HQ as an indemnifying party, any act or omission constituting gross
negligence or willful misconduct of HQ or HQ's officers, directors, employees,
shareholders, partners, agents or representatives. Subject to the foregoing,
Client assumes all risk of loss with respect to all personal property of Client,
its agents employees, contractors, and invitees, within or about the HQ Global
Workplaces center or the Building. Client acknowledges that it is the Client's
responsibility to maintain insurance to cover the risks set forth in this
paragraph.
HQ and Client each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the
other, or against the directors, licensors, officers, agents, servants and
employees of the other, for loss of or damage to its property or the property of
others under its control, to the extent such loss or damage is covered by any
insurance policy.
If the HQ Global Workplaces center is made unusable, in whole or in part,
by fire or other casualty not due to negligence of Client, HQ may, at its
option, terminate the Master Agreement upon notice to Client, effective upon
such casualty, or may elect to repair, restore or rehabilitate, or cause to be
repaired, restored or rehabilitated, the HQ Global Workplaces center, without
expense to Client, within ninety (90) days or within such longer period of time
as may be required because of events beyond HQ's control. The Monthly Base
Office Fee shall be abated on a per diem basis for the portions of the Office
that are unusable.
6. DEFAULT. Client shall be deemed to be in default under this Master
Agreement and all executed Office Agreements: (a) if Client defaults in the
payment of the Monthly Base Office Fee or other sums due or (b) if Client
defaults in the prompt and full performance of any other provision of this
Master Agreement or any executed Office Agreements and any such default
continues in excess of ten (10) business days after written notice by HQ.
Should Client be in default hereunder, HQ shall have the option to pursue
any one or more of the following remedies without any additional notice or
demand whatsoever and without limitation to HQ in the exercise of any remedy:
(1) HQ may, if HQ so elects, without any additional notice of such
election or demand to Client, either forthwith terminate this Agreement and the
license to use any portion of the HQ Global Workplaces center, and may enter
into the Office and take and hold possession of the contents thereof, without
releasing Client, in whole or in part, from the Client's obligations hereunder.
In the event of such termination, HQ may, at its option, declare the entire.
amount of the Monthly Base Office Fee which would become due and payable during
the remainder of the term, to be due and payable immediately, in which event,
Client agrees to pay the same at once.

exercise of any right or remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other
right or remedy.

Master Agreement and within one (1) year of the termination of this Master
Agreement, neither Client nor any of its principals, employees or affiliates
will hire directly or as an independent contractor, any person who is at that
time, or was during the term of this Agreement, an employee of HQ. In the event
of a breach of any obligation of Client contained in this paragraph, Client
shall be liable to HQ for, and shall pay to HQ, on demand, liquidated damages in
the sum of $25,000.00 for each employee with respect to whom such breach shall
occur, it being mutually agreed that the actual damage that would be sustained
by HQ as the result of any such breach would be, from the nature of the case,
extremely difficult to fix and that the aforesaid liquidated damage amount is
fair and reasonable.
