FEE & PAYMENT TERMS

The Executor shall provide the Customer with monthly invoices (each an “Estimated Invoice”) representing the Executor’s best estimate of fees for all services and work performed by the Executor that were completed in the month immediately prior to the applicable Estimated Invoice (“Invoice Period”). Each Estimated Invoice shall be issued on a Cost plus 10% basis.

Two months following the receipt by the Customer of each applicable Estimated Invoice, the Executor shall provide a final invoice (“Final Invoice”) representing the actual fees for all services and work performed by the Executor during the Invoice Period, less all amounts paid towards the applicable Estimated Invoice. In the event that the Final Invoice reflects any overpayments made by the Customer to the Executor, the Executor shall credit the Customer for such amounts.

All invoices shall provide a detailed description of the services provided, including any and all Costs incurred by the Executor which are exclusively attributable to the Customer rather than of a nonexclusive and general nature, during the applicable period to which such invoice relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, details of Executor personnel providing services to the Customer shall not be detailed in invoices but rather provided by the Executor to the Customer by way of a spreadsheet from time to time.

The Executor shall invoice the Customer in United States Dollars and all invoices shall be payable by the Customer in United States Dollars, notwithstanding that Costs may have been incurred by the Customer or may be chargeable by the Executor in Macedonian Denars. The Executor shall convert all Costs into United States Dollars for the purposes of invoices on the last day of the particular month that is the subject of the invoice, based upon the average conversion rate available to the Executor at the Executor’s bank during that month, or alternatively upon mutual agreement of the Parties, on the actual date of the invoice.

Each invoice shall be paid by the Customer within thirty (30) days of its receipt, provided, that, to the extent Customer disputes any such amounts, the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve any such dispute. In addition to any other remedies available at law or equity, a monthly 1% late fee shall apply to any unpaid amounts to the extent not disputed with respect to an applicable invoice and shall continue to accrue until all amounts owing in respect of such invoice are paid in full.

All Costs reasonably incurred by the Executor that do not exclusively relate to the provision of services to the Customer, including but not limited to, general overhead, lease costs, costs of employees that are not exclusively dedicated to performing services for the Customer, will be allocated to the Customer on a pro-rata basis based on the relative number of the Executor’s employees dedicated to the Customer compared to the total number of employees dedicated to servicing the other clients that the Executor provides services to from time to time.

Executor personnel dedicated to providing services exclusively to the Customer and such personnel’s related rates payable by the Customer, shall be itemized in writing by the Executor and subject to mutual approval of the Parties. Upon the Customer’s prior written consent, members may be brought on or removed from the Executor’s team to provide services to the Customer, and the rates payable, as well as all other information reasonably required by the Parties with respect to personnel shall be mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, acting in good faith.

TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue in full force and effect for an initial period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter (the “Initial Term”), subject to automatic renewals for subsequent twelve (12) month periods thereafter (each, a “Renewal Term”)unless, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, either Party provides written notice the other Party of its intention not to renew the term of this Agreement.

	a)	Either Party becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or takes action to become a voluntary bankrupt, makes an ‎assignment for the benefit of its creditors or proposes to its creditors a reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts or obligations or other-‎wise proposes to take advantage of or shelter under any law for the protection of ‎debtors;‎ or

If the other Party materially breaches any material obligation of this Agreement and the breaching Party fails to cure the breach within ninety (90) days‎ of being notified of the breach in writing by the other Party, subject to any reasonable extension at the non-breaching Party’s discretion to the extent the breaching Party is working diligently to cure such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may terminate this Agreement for failure to make any payments payable to the other Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement if such failure is not cured within ten (10) days ‎of being notified in writing of such failure by the other Party..
