(a) This Agreement shall continue for a period of one (3) years from the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter for as long as Advisor is requested to remain on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Company.

 

b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided that Advisor has neither voluntarily resigned nor been terminated for "cause" as defined in Section 3(b) of this Agreement, Company agrees to use its best efforts to reappoint Advisor to the Scientific Advisory Board.

 

        2. Position and Responsibilities.

 

(a) Position. Company hereby retains Advisor to serve as member of the Scientific Advisory Committee. Advisor shall perform such duties and responsibilities as are normally related to such position in accordance with Company's bylaws and applicable law, including those services described on Exhibit A, (the "Services"), and Advisor hereby agrees to use his best efforts to provide the Services. Advisor shall not allow any other person or entity to perform any of the Services for or instead of Advisor. Advisor shall comply with the statutes, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental or

Advisor may be employed by another company, may serve on other Scientific Advisory Committees or Advisory Boards, and may engage in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage), as long as such outside activities do not violate Advisor's obligations under this Agreement or Advisor's obligations to the Company.

The ownership of less than a 5% interest in an entity, by itself, shall not constitute a violation of this duty.

Except as set forth in Exhibit B, Advisor represents that, to the best of his/her knowledge, Advisor has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, and Advisor agrees to use his/her best efforts to avoid or minimize any such conflict and agrees not to enter into any agreement or obligation that could create such a conflict, without the approval of the Company. If, at any time, Advisor is required to make any disclosure or take any action that may conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, Advisor will promptly notify the Company of such obligation, prior to making such disclosure or taking such action.

 

(c) No Conflict. Except as set forth in Section 2(b) and Exhibit A, Advisor will not engage in any activity that creates an actual conflict of interest with Company, regardless of whether such activity is prohibited by Company's conflict of interest guidelines or this Agreement, and Advisor agrees to notify the Company before engaging in any activity that creates a potential conflict of interest with Company. Specifically and except as set forth in Section 2(b) and Exhibit A of this Agreement, Advisor shall not engage in any activity that is in direct competition with the Company or serve in any capacity (including, but not limited to, as an employee, consultant, advisor or director) in any company or entity that competes directly with the Company, as reasonably determined by the Company, without the approval of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client acknowledges that Symbion’s ability to perform will require Client to timely perform certain tasks and provide certain tangible and intangible items.  Client hereby agrees to perform its obligations hereunder, and the parties acknowledge that Client’s failure to perform such obligations may adversely affect Symbion’s ability to meet its performance obligations under the conditions contemplated by the Project Agreement.  The parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith to arrive at an equitable adjustment to the fees payable under a Project Agreement and the terms of this Agreement to compensate Symbion for such additional effort and costs directly caused by Client’s delay.  In addition, Symbion shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement for any delays or failure to meet its obligations if based on Client’s actions, omissions or failure to meet its performance requirements.

             (b)  Either Party may propose changes to the scope of Services provided by Symbion under any particular Project Agreement.  Symbion will analyze each such request and provide a written report to Client on its feasibility and the effect, if any, that such change will have on the cost of performing the Services and schedule for completing the Services.  Proposed changes shall be effected through written change orders which shall constitute amendments to this Agreement and the applicable Project Agreement (“Change Orders”). 

 

3.    PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

3.1            Except as set forth under “Background Technology” below, Symbion hereby assigns its entire right, title and interest in the Work Product to Client.  The parties further acknowledge and agree that absent Client’s full and timely payment(s) to Symbion for all fees and expenses due, the Work Product, and any intellectual property rights related thereto, shall be, and shall remain, the sole property of Symbion, and Client shall have no rights therein or thereto.  Symbion shall not have the right to disclose or transfer to any third party the Work Product.  However, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or limit Symbion’s use of ideas, concepts, know-how, methods, code, techniques, skill, knowledge and experience that were used, developed or gained in connection with this Agreement or any Project Agreement, except with regard to any confidential information of Client.

 

        3.2            Symbion may include in the Work Product certain methodologies, development tools, routines, objects, subroutines and other programs, data and materials developed or licensed by Symbion outside of this Agreement and the Project Agreements hereunder (the “Background Technology”).  Symbion shall retain any and all rights Symbion may have in the Background Technology.  Symbion hereby grants to Client an irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid-up worldwide license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, distribute internally and make modifications and/or improvements to the Background Technology.  However, Client shall not license, sub-license, resell, transfer or make other commercial use of the Background Technology, or any portion thereof, without Symbion’s written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Symbion is not providing Client with any license or right to use the clinical data management (if applicable) or other third party software used by Symbion to create the Work Product or other intellectual property developed in connection with this Agreement or the Project Agreement(s). 

4.    COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT TERMS

       4.1            Payment. Symbion shall be paid for the Services as set forth in the applicable Project Agreement. Client shall also reimburse Symbion for all out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to airfare, ground transportation, hotel, meals, etc.) reasonably incurred by Symbion or any officers, employees, or agents of Symbion in connection with performing services under this Agreement or any Project Agreement.  Client shall reimburse Symbion for all other reasonable expenses actually incurred which are incidental to the services performed hereunder and which have been approved in advance by Client.  Travel costs and other expenses claimed must be itemized in Symbion’s monthly invoice to Client. 

4.2   Payment Terms.

 

             (a)  All invoices shall be due upon receipt by Client.  Any payment that is not paid within thirty (30) days of its due date will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month from the due date until paid.  In addition, Client agrees to pay and indemnify Symbion for any costs, including legal and other collection fees, incurred by Symbion in the course of collecting past due amounts through any third party collection services retained by Symbion to collect unpaid, past due amounts under this Agreement.

(b)          If Client disputes any invoice, or any charge or amount on any invoice or any charge for Services, and such dispute cannot be resolved promptly through good faith discussions between the Parties, Client will pay the amounts due under the applicable Project Agreement, less the disputed amount, provided that Client and Symbion will diligently proceed to work together to resolve any disputed amount.

 

5.    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

       5.1            Each party acknowledges that in the course of performing this Agreement it may be furnished with, receive, or otherwise have access to information of or concerning the other party which the other party considers to be confidential, proprietary, a trade secret or otherwise restricted.  When used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any information furnished or made available directly or indirectly by a party:  (i) in any format that is labeled or otherwise designated as confidential, proprietary, a trade secret or with a similar designation; or (ii) that relates to such party’s trade secrets, inventions, discoveries, processes, methods and techniques, ideas, know-how or regarding such party’s products and services (including, without limitation, pricing therefor), proprietary software, research & development, business plans, marketing plans, strategies, finances, customers and suppliers whether or not such information is labeled as confidential.

       5.2            All Confidential Information furnished by a party to the other in the course of performing under this Agreement shall remain the property of and be deemed proprietary to the disclosing party.  Each party agrees:  (i) to receive such Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party; (ii) to accord such Confidential Information at least the same level of protection against unauthorized use or disclosure that the receiving party customarily accords to its own confidential, proprietary or trade secret information of a like nature, but in no event less than reasonable care; and (iii) to use such Confidential Information solely and exclusively for the purposes of and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

       5.3            Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be liable for disclosure of any particular Confidential Information of the disclosing party if the same:  (i) is in the public domain at the time of its disclosure or thereafter enters the public domain through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) is or becomes known to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis without breach of any obligation of confidentiality; (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; or (iv) is legally required to be disclosed (provided that the receiving party


promptly informs the disclosing party of the requirement and affords the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to resist the required disclosure).

       5.4            The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.  Promptly following the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, and as the disclosing party elects, the receiving party shall either destroy or deliver to the disclosing party all Confidential Information of the disclosing party in the receiving party’s possession, custody or control in whatever form held (including without limitation all documents or media containing any of the foregoing and all copies, extracts or embodiments thereof).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Symbion may retain a copy of certain Confidential Information related to the Project Agreement(s) for its legal archives and regulatory audits.

       5.5            Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall be construed as obligating the disclosing party to disclose its Confidential Information to the receiving party, or as granting to or conferring on the receiving party, expressly or impliedly, any rights or license to the Confidential Information of the disclosing party.

      8.5              Force Majeure.  Either Party’s performance will be excused, if and to the extent reasonably necessary, in the event that an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorism, fire, explosion, or other force majeure event that occurs without the fault or negligence of the non-performing Party and prevents timely performance under the Agreement.

 

8.6             Work with Competitors.  Symbion and Client agree that during the term of this Agreement, or any extension or renewal thereof, Symbion may contract for work with other persons, firms, or corporations engaged in the same or similar business as that of Client, provided that Symbion does not disclose or use the confidential information of Client.

8.8                          Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts including facsimile or electronic mail copies, each of which when executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which when executed shall constitute one and the same instrument.  A signature transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail shall be as binding and effective as an original.
