ARTICLE II

COMPENSATION

2.1 Fees.

(a)

General Shared Service Fees. In consideration of the Services, during the Term of this Agreement, Purchaser will pay Supplier an amount equal to Supplier’s actual costs of providing the Services as a base shared services fee. Such base shared services fee shall include internal allocations, as determined by Supplier in consultation with Purchaser, and a prorated portion of any security deposit, rent, utilities, telecommunications, phone, information technology infrastructure and support, leasehold improvements, property taxes, office supplies and similar payments actually paid by Supplier in respect of the Shared Office determined by multiplying the amounts paid by Supplier by the percentage of the Shared Office used by Purchaser. All such expenses and payments shall be fully supported with reasonable documentation and copies of all such documentation shall be provided to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s reasonable request to the extent required to support such expenses and payments.

(b)

On or before December 1 of each year of the Term of this Agreement, Supplier and Purchaser shall jointly agree on an estimate of Supplier’s fees for each functional category of Service set forth in Section 1.1(b) to be provided pursuant this Agreement for the next calendar year; provided, that to the extent such fees cannot be determined, as to such unknown fees, Supplier shall set out the basis on which they shall be charged. It is understood and agreed that all fees charged

to Purchaser for any particular month shall be no greater than Supplier’s actual costs of providing such Services during such month, as determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Attached as Annex A is an estimate of such costs, on a monthly basis, during the period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31, 2018.

2.2 Invoice and Payment Procedures. Purchaser shall pay Supplier all fees described herein for Services hereunder on a quarterly basis by means of wire transfer of immediately available funds transfer from Purchaser’s account to Supplier’s designated account. Supplier shall provide Purchaser with a written invoice of charges for such fees and out-of-pocket and pre-paid expenses (unless such expenses are already included in the relevant fees) on a monthly basis. Purchaser shall pay each such invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt. In the event of any dispute between Supplier and Purchaser over the amounts due for Services rendered, such disputed amounts shall, upon resolution of the dispute, be credited to or debited from Purchaser’s account against future payments for Services or paid in cash after termination of this Agreement.

2.3 Purchaser Audit Rights. As reasonably requested by Purchaser (not to exceed once per year) and at Purchaser’s sole expense, Purchaser or its independent auditor may reasonably audit Supplier’s charges or performance under this Agreement. Purchaser will coordinate any such audits with Supplier and comply with Supplier’s reasonable policies and procedures regarding access to and use of confidential information.

2.4 Certification to Audit Committee. Once each year during the Term of this Agreement, Purchaser’s management shall certify to the Audit Committee that the Services are being provided by Supplier at cost. Supplier shall reasonably cooperate with and provide information, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, to assist Purchaser’s management in making such certification.

ARTICLE III

TERM AND TERMINATION

3.1 Term. This Agreement shall take effect retroactive from January 1, 2018 and will continue in force until December 31, 2018 (“Initial Term”), subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, and thereafter, this Agreement will be automatically renewed for additional periods of one (1) year each (“Additional Term(s)”).

3.2 Termination. This Agreement or an entire functional category of Services may be terminated in accordance with the following provisions (Purchaser will have no right to terminate any Services within a specific functional category of Services):

(b) Either party may terminate this Agreement, or a particular functional category of Services by giving notice in writing to the other party in the event the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within ninety (90) calendar days of receipt of written

notice thereof from the other party; provided, that, to the extent such material breach relates to a specific Service or specific Services, this Agreement may only be terminated with respect to such Service or Services;
