health or retirement plans. Independent Contractor is not authorized to enter

7. TERM AND TERMINATION.
7.1 TERM. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until
terminated in writing by either party. In addition to the termination rights
specified in Section 7.2 below, either party may terminate this Agreement for
any reason (or no reason) upon ten (10) days written notice to the other;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event Independent Contractor exercises its right to
terminate pursuant to this clause, it shall be obligated to complete the
Services specified in any then-outstanding SOW unless Independent Contractor may
terminate such SOW for cause pursuant to Section 7.2 (ii) below.
7.2 TERMINATION. This Agreement or any SOW may be terminated:
(i) immediately by Company with respect to any Work Company rejects
pursuant to Section 2 above or that is not delivered in accordance with the
delivery schedule or requirements set forth in the applicable SOW; and
(ii) by either party upon the other's breach of any material term or
condition of this Agreement if such breach is not cured within fifteen (15) days
of receipt of notice thereof from the non-breaching party.
Upon termination for any reason, Independent Contractor shall deliver to Company
a copy of any Work as it then exists and all tangible information or materials
Company delivered to Independent Contractor. Company shall have no obligation to
return computer code (including source code and object code) related to any
Work, any Documentation, and/or any materials Independent Contractor delivers.
7.3 PAYMENT/REFUND UPON TERMINATION. In addition to any other rights at law or
equity either party may have in the event of termination, the following
payment/refund obligations shall apply:
(i) In the event of termination pursuant to Section 7.1 and provided that
Independent Contractor is not in material breach of its obligations hereunder,
the Independent Contractor shall be entitled to any amounts paid or owed for
Services already acceptably performed and Work already accepted. In addition,
and to the extent such termination occurs after Independent Contractor has
commenced work on the next installment of the Services (e.g., has delivered an
acceptable Beta Version and has begun work finalizing the Master) on a fixed fee
basis, Independent Contractor shall be entitled to payment of the next
installment of any such fee on a PRO RATA basis (calculated by multiplying the
next payment due by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number
of days prior to termination that Independent Contractor has worked on the next
deliverable and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days
allotted in the schedule set forth in the applicable SOW for completion of that
deliverable).
(ii) If Company terminates this Agreement in whole or in part pursuant to
Section 7.2 prior to the time Company accepts the first deliverable (whether
that be a Beta Version of the Work, an interim report, or the Work itself if
there are no preliminary deliverables), then Independent Contractor shall refund
to Company all amounts paid (if any) to Independent Contractor for the Services
that are the subject of the termination. If Company terminates this Agreement in
whole or in part pursuant to Section 7.2 at any time after Company accepts the
first deliverable, then Independent Contractor shall be entitled to any amounts
paid or owed for any deliverable that has been accepted but it shall have no
right to further payments of any kind, and it shall refund to Company any
payments made beyond those for any deliverable already accepted.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY. Company confidential and proprietary information to which
Independent Contractor is exposed shall be subject to the non-disclosure
requirements annexed as Exhibit B.
9. DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY SOW
(INCLUDING ALL EXHIBITS AND ATTACHMENTS), INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR MAKES NO OTHER
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE WORK.
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties'
successors, Company's assignees, and Independent Contractor's permitted
assignees.

matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, constrict, or describe the
scope or intent of any particular section, nor in any way affect interpretation

shall be extended by one (1) day for each day that performance is interfered
with by reason of fire or other casualty or accident, strikes or labor disputes,

under which Independent Contractor's performance is delayed by reason of any
force majeure for a period of fifteen (15) days or more.
10.6 GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN THAT STATE. INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTOR CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR, IF FEDERAL JURISDICTION

shall be construed to impose any obligation on either party to enter into any
SOW and each party retains the exclusive right to decline to enter into any SOW
for any reason. The parties intend to be bound only upon execution of a written

performance nor any other conduct shall be deemed to imply a continuing
agreement upon the expiration of this Agreement or the full performance of any
SOW.

EXHIBIT B
NON-DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to the Agreement to which this Exhibit B is annexed, Company may be
disclosing to Independent Contractor certain confidential business plans,
development plans, reports, financial information, design documents,
specifications, programmer notes, software (its own and/or third party), and/or
other information, whether or not so identified (together with any notes,
analyses, compilations, studies, or other documents that are based upon,
contain, or otherwise reflect such information, the "Confidential Information,"
which shall include this Agreement). The parties agree as follows with respect
to treatment of the Confidential Information:
1. Independent Contractor shall use the Confidential Information solely
for the purpose of performing the Services specified in the applicable SOW and
not for any other purpose. Except to the extent permitted by Section 3 below,
Independent Contractor will not disclose the Confidential Information, in whole
or in part, to any other party. In fulfilling its obligations under this
Agreement, Independent Contractor shall use at least the same standard of care
it uses to protect its own information of similar kind, but not less than a
reasonable standard of care.
2. The term "Confidential Information" shall be deemed not to include
information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than
(a) as a result of a disclosure by Independent Contractor or any other person
who directly or indirectly receives such information from the Independent
Contractor or (b) in violation of a confidentiality obligation to the Company
known to Independent Contractor or (ii) is or becomes available to Independent
Contractor on a non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to
disclose it to Independent Contractor or (iii) is independently developed by
Independent Contractor without benefit of the Confidential Information.
3. In the event that Independent Contractor is required by law or by
interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, Civil
Investigative Demand, or similar process to disclose any information supplied to
Independent Contractor pursuant to the Agreement, including without limitation
the Confidential Information or any other information the disclosure of which is
restricted by the terms of this Exhibit B, Independent Contractor will provide
the Company with prompt prior written notice of such request or requirement so
that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. If, in the absence of
a protective order, Independent Contractor is nonetheless, in the written
opinion of its counsel (which shall be forwarded to the Company upon request),
compelled to disclose Confidential Information or any other information the
disclosure of which is restricted by the terms of this Exhibit B to any tribunal
or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other material censure or penalty,
Independent Contractor may disclose only that portion of the Confidential
Information or other information which it is advised in writing by its counsel
(which shall be forwarded to the Company upon request) is so legally compelled
and Independent Contractor will exercise its best efforts to obtain assurance
that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.
4. All Confidential Information disclosed by the Company to Independent
Contractor shall be and shall remain the Company's property. Upon termination of
the Agreement, Independent Contractor shall redeliver all tangible Confidential
Information furnished by the Company. Except to the extent Independent
Contractor is advised in writing by counsel that such action is prohibited by
law, Independent Contractor will also destroy all written material, memoranda,
notes, and other writings or recordings whatsoever prepared by it based upon,
containing, or otherwise reflecting any Confidential Information. Any
Confidential Information that is not returned or destroyed, including without
limitation any oral Confidential Information, shall remain subject to the
confidentiality obligations set forth in this Exhibit B.
5. Independent Contractor acknowledges and agrees that money damages would
not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Exhibit B by Independent
Contractor and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance,
including without limitation injunctive relief, as a remedy for any such breach.
Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this
Exhibit B but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or
equity. Independent Contractor agrees to reimburse the Company for costs and
expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) incurred by the Company
in connection with the enforcement of this Exhibit B.
6. If any provision of this Exhibit B is not enforceable in whole or in
part, the remaining provisions of this Exhibit B shall not be affected thereby.
No failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power, or privilege hereunder.
