b. This Agreement or any Statement of Work may be terminated by Accelerate for any reason or no reason upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice. Consultant may also terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. In addition, Consultant or Accelerate may terminate this Agreement and/or any Statement of Work immediately by written notice to the other Party, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement or such Statement of Work by the other Party, if the non-breaching Party gives written notice to the breaching Party specifying the nature of the breach and such breach shall not have been substantially cured within ten (10) days after such notice of breach. Any termination by any Party for breach by the other Party shall be without prejudice to any damages or remedies to which it may be entitled from the other Party. Consultant or Accelerate may terminate this Agreement or any Statement of Work immediately by written notice to the other Party, if the other Party (a) becomes insolvent, (b) makes or has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (c) is the subject of proceedings in voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy instituted on behalf of or against it (except for involuntary bankruptcies which are dismissed within ninety (90) days) or (d) has a receiver or trustee appointed for substantially all of its property.

Consultant shall be entitled to all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred for Services completed prior to the effective date of termination and all fees due and owing for Services satisfactorily completed at the time of termination notice unless this Agreement and/or any Statement of Work is terminated due to the willful malfeasance or neglect of, or breach of any term of this Agreement or any Statement of Work by Consultant.

trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, if Consultant files a lawsuit for retaliation by Accelerate for reporting a suspected violation of law, Consultant may disclose the trade secret to Consultant’s attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Consultant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

The material that is covered by this Agreement includes tangible materials, together with any related material or associated know-how and data which will be received by Consultant from Accelerate, and any substances or data that are replicated or derived therefrom by Consultant, including but not limited to any such material identified in a Statement of Work (collectively, “Material”). Consultant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Accelerate shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in Materials. The Material is considered proprietary to Accelerate, and Accelerate grants to Consultant a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Material solely for performing the Services and only during the term of this Agreement.

7. Publications. The Parties agree that there will be no publication made of any of the Services resulting hereunder without the prior review and express written approval of Accelerate.

8. Intellectual Property.

a. Consultant agrees that any information, discovery, invention, innovation, suggestion, know-how, idea, improvement, technique, material and/or reports that Consultant conceives, reduces to practice or develops during the term of the Agreement, alone or in conjunction with others, during the performance of, or as a direct result of performing, the Services for Accelerate under this Agreement (each an “Invention”), including any and all intellectual property rights therein, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Accelerate without further compensation to Consultant. Consultant shall promptly disclose in writing to Accelerate each such Invention and provide to Accelerate all information known to Consultant reasonably relating to such Invention. The disclosure of proprietary information by Accelerate to Consultant shall not result in any obligation to grant Consultant any rights in and to said proprietary subject matter. If Consultant has any rights to any Inventions that cannot, under applicable law, be assigned to Accelerate, Consultant hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Accelerate with respect to such rights. Consultant agrees, at Accelerate’s request and expense, to consent to and join in any action to enforce such rights.

b. Consultant agrees that all works of authorship created by Consultant under this Agreement, including but not limited to reports, drawings, models, specifications, software code, notes, and memoranda (collectively, the “Work”), shall be deemed to be “work made for hire” and that

Accelerate, as the entity for which the Work is prepared, shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Work, including the entire copyright in the Work. Consultant further agrees that to the extent the Work or any part of the Work is not “work made for hire,” Consultant agrees to assign, and hereby assigns, to Accelerate, ownership of all right, title and interest in and to the Work or such part thereof, including the entire copyright in the Work or such part thereof. No copyright license is granted to Consultant either expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise. To the extent any pre-existing materials are contained in the Work, Consultant agrees to grant, and hereby grants, to Accelerate an irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to such preexisting materials.

c. During and after the Term, Consultant shall, and shall cause its personnel to, (i) cooperate fully in obtaining patent and other proprietary protection for any patentable or protectable Inventions and Works, all in the name of Accelerate and at Accelerate’s cost and expense; and (ii) execute and deliver all requested applications, assignments and other documents, and take such other measures as Accelerate reasonably requests, in order to perfect and enforce Accelerate’s rights in the Inventions and Works.

d. Notwithstanding anything else herein, Consultant will retain full ownership rights in and to all know-how, templates, programs, methodologies, processes, technologies and other materials developed or licensed by Consultant prior to or apart from performing its obligations under this Agreement (collectively, with all associated intellectual property rights, the “Consultant Property”), regardless of whether such Consultant Property is used in connection with Consultant’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Consultant agrees that if in the course of performing the Services, Consultant intends to incorporate into any Invention or Work any Consultant Property, (i) Consultant shall inform Accelerate, in writing, before incorporating such Consultant Property into any Invention or Work; and (ii) Accelerate is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such item as part of or in connection with such Invention or Work.
