3. Work Policy, Personnel and Reports.

3.1       Work Policies. For each Schedule, each party will designate a Project Manager to serve as the main contact between the parties. The scope and conduct of Services provided by Service Provider shall be consistent with the Schedule and must be coordinated with AXP’s Project Manager at all times. Service Provider’s employees, agents and subcontractors will observe and comply with AXP’s security procedures, rules, regulations, policies, working hours and holiday schedules. Service Provider will use its best efforts to minimize any disruption to AXP’s normal business operations at all times. AXP will only provide working space, resources and materials if specified in the applicable Schedule.

3.2       Personnel. Service Provider shall assign an adequate number of personnel to perform the Services. Service Provider personnel shall be properly trained and fully qualified for the Services they are to perform. Service Provider will use its best efforts to ensure the continuity of Service Provider’s employees and/or subcontractors (as applicable) assigned to perform Services under any Schedule. If any Service Provider employee, agent or subcontractor, as the case may be, performing Services is found to be unacceptable to AXP for any reason, in AXP’s sole judgment, AXP shall notify Service Provider and Service Provider shall immediately take appropriate corrective action.

3.3       Status Reports. On a periodic basis, as specified in the Schedule and, if not specified in the Schedule, upon AXP’s request, Service Provider will submit written status reports describing its activities related to the Services, including: (i) the current status of activities (with an explanatory narrative when appropriate); (ii) resources used since the last report, with a cumulative total to date; and (iii) identification of any problems and all actions taken to resolve them, and the current status of any such problems.

4. Acceptance.

Each deliverable to be provided by Service Provider in connection with the Services shall be subject to a verification of acceptability by AXP (as determined by AXP) to ensure that such deliverable satisfies AXP’s requirements. Unless otherwise specified in the Schedule, the acceptability of any deliverable shall be based on AXP’s satisfaction or non-satisfaction with the deliverable, in AXP’s sole discretion. When any deliverable is acceptable to AXP, AXP will promptly notify Service Provider in writing of its acceptance. If any deliverable is not acceptable, AXP shall notify Service Provider and shall specify its reasons in reasonable detail, and Service Provider will, at no additional cost, ensure conformance of such deliverable to AXP’s requirements. If, within thirty (30) days of AXP’s notification, any deliverable is still not acceptable, AXP may at any time before formal acceptance thereof, at its option and without obligation or liability of any kind, terminate, in whole or in part, the Schedule involved. In the event that AXP elects to terminate a Schedule, in whole or in part, Service Provider shall, within thirty (30) days of such termination, provide AXP with a refund of any amounts paid by AXP with respect to such deliverable or services performed as applicable.

5.1       Ownership of Works. Service Provider acknowledges that AXP, at no additional charge, shall have exclusive, unlimited, worldwide ownership rights to all works performed or created under each Schedule and all materials, information and/or deliverables prepared thereunder or developed as a result of Services performed thereunder, both as individual items and/or a combination of components and whether or not the Schedule is completed, including, without limitation, any Disclosed Subject. All of the foregoing shall be deemed to be work made for hire and made in the course of Services rendered and shall belong exclusively to AXP, with AXP having the sole right to obtain, hold and renew, in its own name and/or for its own benefit, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, registrations and/or other appropriate protection. To the extent that exclusive title and/or ownership rights may not originally vest in AXP as contemplated hereunder (e.g., may not be deemed works made for hire), Service Provider, at no additional charge, hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys to AXP all right, title and interest therein. Service Provider and its personnel shall give AXP, and/or any AXP designee, all reasonable assistance and execute all documents necessary to assist and/or enable AXP to perfect, preserve, register and/or record its rights in any such work, materials, information and/or deliverable. Service Provider agrees to take all reasonable measures necessary or appropriate to comply with the patent marking requirements, or as otherwise reasonably requested to do so by AXP. Upon request of AXP, Service Provider agrees to promptly provide AXP with proof of marking. Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that all marking must be provided in a substantially consistent and continuous manner, and that once marking has been commenced it must be maintained. Service Provider shall, immediately upon request of AXP, or upon the termination, cancellation or expiration of each Schedule or this Agreement, turn over to AXP all materials, information and deliverables prepared or developed as a result of this Agreement and/or any Schedule, and any AXP documents or other materials held by or on behalf of Service Provider, together with all copies thereof.

5.2       Disclosed Subjects. Service Provider shall promptly make a complete written disclosure to AXP of any invention, technique, device, discovery or procedure, whether patentable or not (hereinafter referred to as a “Disclosed Subject”), conceived or first actually reduced to practice, solely or jointly by Service Provider and/or AXP and/or their respective employees and agents, as a result of Services performed hereunder.

6. Charges and Terms of Payment.

6.1       Charges. The applicable charges shall be specified in the Schedule. In no event shall any charges exceed the rates or other fees set forth in the Schedule or, if not set forth in the Schedule, Service Provider’s applicable standard published rates, (which published rates Service Provider shall provide to AXP upon request) or negotiated rate card (as applicable), whichever is lower. For Services performed on a time and materials basis, any hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours in any one day or on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, shall be invoiced at the same time and materials rates for hours worked that are not in excess of such eight (8) hour period in any one day or not on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays unless specifically authorized by AXP in writing in advance. AXP also agrees to pay for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses required and actually incurred in performing Services, provided that Service Provider has; (i) obtained AXP’s prior written consent and such out-of-pocket costs and expenses are in accordance with AXP’s travel and expense policy, as amended from time to time and which will be provided to Service Provider upon request; (ii) detailed such costs and expenses on a form acceptable to AXP and approved them in accordance with AXP’s own expense policies; and (iii) submitted supporting documentation satisfactory to AXP.

6.2       Invoice. Unless other payment terms are specified in the Schedule, Service Provider shall invoice AXP: (i) after AXP’s written acceptance of any deliverables, products or work performed on a fixed price basis; (ii) for Services provided on a time and materials basis and for out-of-pocket costs and expenses, monthly in arrears; or (iii) as otherwise provided in the applicable Schedule. All invoices, except for amounts disputed by AXP, shall be payable within thirty (30) days of AXP’s receipt of the invoice. Any disputed amounts shall not affect payment of non-disputed charges and expenses.

6.3       Taxes. Except to the extent that AXP has provided an exemption certificate, direct pay permit or other such appropriate documentation, Service Provider shall add to each invoice any sales, use, excise, value-added, gross receipts, services, consumption and other similar transaction taxes however designated that are properly levied by any taxing authority upon the provision of the Services, excluding, however (i) taxes set forth in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 below and (ii) any state or local privilege or franchise taxes, taxes based upon Service Provider’s net income and any taxes or amounts in lieu thereof (including, without limitation, Michigan Single Business Taxes and Washington B&O taxes) paid or payable by Service Provider in respect of the foregoing excluded items. If after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Service Provider believes that it is required by law to collect any such taxes for which AXP would be responsible under this section, but which do not apply on the Effective Date, Service Provider shall notify AXP in writing of such new or additional requirement. If AXP concludes that there is a reasonable basis for not collecting any such taxes in whole or in part, and provides in writing such basis together with a request not to collect such tax, Service Provider may consent, in Service Provider’s sole discretion, to AXP’s request to not collecting such tax(es). In the event that Service Provider does not so consent, then Service Provider agrees to reasonably cooperate, at its own expense, with AXP to seek a refund of such taxes paid over at AXP’s expense. If AXP does not make a request to Service Provider to not collect any tax, Service Provider shall collect such taxes directly from AXP and remit such taxes to the appropriate governmental authority and shall provide detailed written documentation to AXP thereof. Service Provider shall cooperate fully with AXP in seeking any refunds of taxes paid over, as reasonably directed by AXP at AXP’s expense. Exhibit 3 (Taxing Jurisdictions) attached hereto sets forth the list of the state and local jurisdictions that, as of the Effective Date, impose tax(es) on the goods and Services provided hereunder and where Service Provider intends to collect such taxes.

6.4       Taxes on Property. AXP and Service Provider shall each bear sole responsibility for all taxes, assessments, and other ad valorem levies on each party’s respective owned property, except where provided otherwise in this Agreement.

COMPOSECURE SERVICES AGREEMENT 4

6.5       Taxes on Use of Goods/Services. Except where Service Provider acts as a purchasing agent hereunder, Service Provider shall be financially responsible for, and hold harmless AXP from, any sales, use, excise, value-added, services, consumption, and other taxes and duties payable by Service Provider on any goods or Services used or consumed by Service Provider in providing the Services hereunder where the tax is imposed on Service Provider’s acquisition or use of such goods or Services and the amount of tax is measured by Service Provider’s costs in acquiring such goods or Services.

6.6       De Minimis Functions. Wherever in this Agreement it is indicated that functions or Services are to be performed by Service Provider for AXP and/or rights are to be granted by Service Provider to AXP as part of, or in connection with, the Services hereunder and/or at no additional charge to AXP, the parties acknowledge and agree that any such functions, goods and Services or rights are de minimis in nature and are not the principal or direct objective of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7       Segregated Charges. AXP and Service Provider shall cooperate to segregate the charges payable pursuant to this Agreement into the following separate payment streams for each taxing jurisdiction: (i) those for taxable goods and Services; (ii) those for nontaxable goods and Services; (iii) those for which a sales, use, value-added, or other similar tax has already been paid; and (iv) those for which Service Provider functions merely as a paying agent for AXP in receiving goods, supplies or Services (including leasing and licensing arrangements) that otherwise are nontaxable or have previously been subject to tax. In addition, each of AXP and Service Provider shall reasonably cooperate with the other, at their own cost and expense, to determine AXP ‘s liability for taxes accurately and minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible. Each of AXP and Service Provider shall provide and make available to the other any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state sales or use of equipment, materials or Services, and any other exemption certificates or information requested by a party.

6.8       Expense Management Card. Use of an AXP expense management card such as the corporate purchasing card (“CPC”), corporate defined expense program card (“CDEP”), Ariba e-Card, or the like, as a payment mechanism shall not modify or in any way change any of the requirements of this section or of any invoicing required in this Agreement.

7. Performance Standards.

7.1       General. Service Provider shall perform the Services in accordance with the service levels and performance standards set forth on Attachment B to the respective Schedule (“Performance Standards”). At all times, Service Provider’s level of performance shall be at least equal to the Performance Standards and to the standards satisfied by well-managed operations performing services similar to the Services.

7.2       Failure to Perform. If Service Provider fails to meet a Performance Standard, it shall (i) investigate, assemble and preserve pertinent information with respect to, and report on the causes of, the problem, including performing a root cause analysis of such failure; (ii) immediately advise AXP, as and to the extent requested by AXP, of the status of remedial efforts being undertaken with respect to such problem; (iii) minimize the impact of and correct the problem and begin meeting the Performance Standard using best efforts; and (iv) take appropriate preventive measures so that the problem does not recur in a manner that does not degrade the level of service. Service Provider recognizes that its failure to meet any “Critical Performance Standards” set forth in Attachment B of a Schedule may have a material adverse impact on the business and operations of AXP and that the damage from Service Provider’s failure to meet a Critical Service Level is not susceptible of precise determination. Accordingly, in the event that Service Provider fails to meet Critical Service Levels for reasons other than the wrongful actions of AXP or circumstances that constitute excusable delay under this Agreement, then in addition to any redeemable Service Level Credits (as defined within the respective SOW), AXP hereby reserves all of its rights to all remedies available, at law or in equity. This Section 7.2 shall not limit AXP’s rights with respect to the events upon which AXP may rely as a basis for AXP’s termination of this Agreement for cause.

COMPOSECURE SERVICES AGREEMENT 5

7.3       Periodic Reviews. At least annually, AXP and Service Provider, as more fully described in Attachment B to a Schedule, will review the Performance Standards and may make adjustments to them as appropriate to reflect improved performance capabilities associated with advances in the technology and methods used to perform the Services. The parties expect and understand that the Performance Standards will improve over time.

COMPOSECURE SERVICES AGREEMENT 8

12. Confidentiality.

12.1       Confidential Information. Service Provider agrees to regard and preserve as confidential all information related to the business and activities of the AXP Entities, their clients, customers, employees, suppliers and all entities with whom the AXP Entities do business, that may be obtained by Service Provider from any source or may be developed or derived as a result of this Agreement, including without limitation, business plans, project/Schedule requirements, and any personally identifiable customer or employee information (collectively and individually, “Confidential Information”). Service Provider agrees to hold such information in trust and confidence for AXP and not to disclose such information to any person, firm or enterprise, or use (directly or indirectly) any such information for its own benefit or the benefit of any other party, unless authorized by AXP in writing, and even then, to limit access to and disclosure of such confidential information to Service Provider’s employees on a “need to know” basis only and for the purpose of providing Services to AXP hereunder, and further, shall take adequate, industry standard measures to maintain the security and confidentiality of such information. Except for Customer Information, information shall not be considered confidential to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information is: (i) already known to the receiving party free of any restriction at the time it is obtained from the other party; (ii) subsequently learned from an independent third party free of any restrictions and without breach of any agreements; (iii) is or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of either party; or (iv) is independently developed by one party without reference to any confidential information of the other.

12.2       Disclosure. If the Confidential Information is subject to disclosure pursuant to an order, decree, subpoena or other validly issued judicial or administrative process requiring Service Provider or its representatives (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Service Provider will promptly notify AXP of such request or requirement so that AXP may seek to avoid or minimize the required disclosure and/or to obtain an appropriate protective order or other appropriate relief to ensure that any Confidential Information so disclosed is maintained in confidence to the maximum extent possible by the agency or other person receiving the disclosure, or, in the discretion of AXP, to waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In any such case, and in addition to the notice contemplated in this paragraph, the party in receipt of such Confidential Information will use its reasonable efforts, in cooperation with AXP or otherwise, to avoid or minimize the required disclosure and/or to obtain such protective order or other relief to protect the Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Service Provider or its representatives are compelled to disclose the Confidential Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Service Provider and its representatives will disclose only so much of the Confidential Information to the person compelling disclosure as it believes in good faith on the basis of advice of counsel as required by law. Service Provider shall give AXP prior notice of the Confidential Information it believes it is required to disclose.

12.3       Protection of AXP Interests. Service Provider acknowledges that Services performed for AXP may relate to past, present or future strategies, plans, business activities, methods, processes and/or information which afford AXP certain competitive or strategic advantages. To further ensure the protection of AXP’s interests in this regard and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Schedule, Service Provider agrees: (a) during the term of each Schedule and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Service Provider shall not perform or agree to perform Services or provide materials or information, directly or indirectly, for or in support of any Competitor of AXP or in connection with a Competitive Project, that are substantially similar in form, substance, purpose or intent as performed or provided under any Schedule; and (b) during the term of any Schedule and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, Service Provider shall not assign or utilize any individual assigned to perform Services for AXP hereunder, to perform Services for or in support of any Competitor of AXP or a Competitive Project.

COMPOSECURE SERVICES AGREEMENT 9

For purposes of this section, “Competitor” is defined as any person, firm or enterprise conducting a business or providing or supporting a product or service substantially similar to any of AXP’s, and “Competitive Project” is defined as any task or work effort whose intent or result is or will be substantially similar to any contemplated by a Schedule. If there is any doubt whether any person, firm or enterprise is deemed a “Competitor” or whether any task or work effort is deemed a “Competitive Project,” Service Provider shall obtain AXP’s advance written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), which decision shall be deemed final and controlling for all purposes hereunder.

12.4       Non-Disclosure Obligations . Service Provider shall, in advance, require its employees, its subcontractors and/or employees of its subcontractor assigned to perform Services under any Schedule and its employees, subcontractors and/or employees of its subcontractor obtaining or is in a position to obtain any AXP information or materials required by the terms of this Agreement to be kept confidential, and to execute a confidentiality agreement with terms that emulate the confidentiality obligations set forth hereunder. Service Provider further agrees to take any other steps reasonably required and/or appropriate to ensure compliance with the obligations set forth herein.

12.5       Injunctive Relief. Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the foregoing provisions, AXP may have no adequate remedy in damages and, accordingly, shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach; provided, however, that no specification of a particular legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver, prohibition or limitation of any legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach hereof.

12.6       Return of Confidential Information. At any time after the disclosure or receipt of any Confidential Information by Service Provider, and at the request and option of the AXP, Service Provider agrees to promptly return all copies (including any archival copies) of the Confidential Information of AXP to AXP (and delete all forms of recordation in whatever media stored, whether in existence now or invented in the future).

13. Audit, Security, and Controls.

13.1       Audit. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of at least three (3) years thereafter, Service Provider will maintain complete and accurate accounting records in connection with Services performed and materials provided hereunder, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to substantiate its charges hereunder. Upon request from AXP, AXP, or its agents, shall be given reasonable access at reasonable times to Service Provider’s premises and/or documentation as AXP may reasonably request in order to assure Service Provider’s compliance with the payment terms, data protection, system(s), security requirements, AXP policies and any other obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, if AXP has reasonable grounds to believe Service Provider has violated its confidentiality or security obligations hereunder, or is in violation of the law with respect to the Services provided hereunder, AXP reserves the right to inspect and audit Service Provider’s premises and/or documentation related thereto unannounced.
