other applicable federal or state securities laws or
regulations.
2. Marketing; Branding
.
(a) Trilegiant shall, in its sole
discretion, market the Products to Members. Trilegiant’s
agreement to market the Products is non-exclusive, and, therefore,
(i) subject to Sections 1(a) and 1(b) hereof, Edentify may
engage third parties to market the Products and
(ii) Trilegiant may offer other products and/or services,
whether or not the same or substantially similar to a Product, at
any time during or after the Term. The application of a link on
Program websites to websites owned or managed by MyPublicInfo, Inc.
(“ MPI ”), and the use of a Product as a benefit
in respect of a Program or as a stand-alone product for a
newly-established Program shall be determined by Trilegiant in its
sole discretion. Trilegiant shall consult with, and obtain the
written consent of, Edentify in the event that Trilegiant desires
to apply a link on Program websites to www.edentify.us (the
“ Edentify Website”) . If requested, Edentify
shall consult with Trilegiant in the development of a plan for
marketing the Products to Members, whether such assistance is
directly with Trilegiant or any of its clients or
partners.
(b) Trilegiant shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to establish and create, during the Term, multiple
unique branding or co-branding of the Products (such unique brand
and co-branded names, collectively, the “ Trilegiant Brand
Names ”). If requested, Edentify shall consult with
Trilegiant in connection therewith. Trilegiant shall have the
right, in its sole discretion, to market the Products to Members
under the Trilegiant Brand Names. To the extent Trilegiant is
working directly with Edentify in respect of the Products, the
parties hereto shall mutually agree upon the development, use and
implementation of the Trilegiant Brand Names.
3. Provision of Services; Service Level
Standards; Source Code .
(a) Edentify shall provide to (A) all
Members that purchase the Products as contemplated pursuant to this
Agreement, (B) all Members that are entitled to use of the
Products as Members of a Program offering the Products as a benefit
of such Program and (C) all Members of a newly-established
Program offering the Products as a stand-alone benefit the
following:
(i) the Products as described on the
Edentify Website;
(ii) Scoring services substantially meeting
the functional and technical specifications of Edentify solutions
as set forth on the attached Schedule 3(b); and
(iii) all intellectual property licenses
set forth and described herein (including, without limitation,
Section 11).
(c) Edentify shall notify Trilegiant, in
writing, ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of any
material modification of the functional specifications of any
Product. Except as may be required by law, Edentify shall not
materially diminish the benefits of any Product without the prior
written approval of Trilegiant. To the extent any obligation of
Edentify under this Section 3(b) is qualified by the contrary
requirements of applicable law or regulation, Edentify shall use
its best efforts to minimize the amount and/or effect of any such
restrictions (to the extent permitted by applicable law or
regulation) and shall reasonably cooperate with Trilegiant in
connection therewith.
(d) Each Product shall comply with the
standards and requirements set forth in this Agreement. Edentify
shall provide the Products through qualified personnel and shall
appoint a designated project manager as a primary point of contact
for Trilegiant. Edentify shall provide the Products with due
diligence and in a professional and workmanlike manner. Except as
otherwise specifically stated in this Agreement, each Product shall
be provided to Members with the same warranty as is provided to
other Edentify customers of such Product. Edentify shall use its
best efforts continuously throughout the Term to ensure that each
Product is substantially and in the aggregate no less valuable to
Members than such Product is to other Edentify consumers on the
Effective Date.
(e) In performing its obligations
hereunder, Edentify shall comply with the service level standards
set forth below and elsewhere herein (collectively, the “
Service Level Standards ”). Edentify shall ensure
sufficient capacity and system redundancy to ensure ninety-nine
point five percent (99.5%) uptime of the Edentify Website as
measured on a monthly basis; provided , however ,
that the uptime measurement shall not include downtime attributable
to scheduled maintenance of which Edentify has provided Trilegiant
with at least seven (7) days advance written notice (“
Uptime Requirement ”). Scheduled maintenance outages
will be limited to two 2-hour outages per month and will be
scheduled between 2:00 a.m. — 6:00 a.m. EST. Edentify shall
use its best efforts to ensure that downtime for scheduled
maintenance will minimize disruption of service. In the event that
the Edentify Website is not functional, Edentify will promptly
notify MPI. The material failure by Edentify to meet the Uptime
Requirement in two consecutive calendar months shall be deemed a
material breach of this Agreement. In addition, Edentify shall
(1) use best efforts to ensure compliance with a mutually
agreed-upon file format, and to the extent Edentify does not so
comply, Edentify shall have twenty-four (24) hours to cure
such non-compliance in all respects, and (2) use best efforts
to achieve a goal of a maximum of two (2) hours for disaster
recovery (i.e., resumption of basic business
functionality).
(f) No later than fifteen
(15) business days following the Effective Date and, to the
extent any material changes have been made thereto, on each
anniversary of the Effective Date during the Term, Edentify shall
deliver to an independent third-party escrow agent, to be mutually
agreed upon by the parties hereto (the “ Escrow Agent
”), a copy of the source code form of each Product’s
software (including any comments or documentation available with
respect thereto), a listing thereof, batch processes and database
schemas (collectively, the “ Delivered Material
”). The Delivered Material shall be provided in a sealed
package which shall only be delivered to Trilegiant pursuant to the
terms of the Escrow Agreement among Edentify, as depositor,
Trilegiant, and beneficiary, and the Escrow Agent (the “
Escrow Agreement ”). If the Release Condition (as
defined in Section 3(g) below) occurs, Edentify shall use its best
efforts to instruct Trilegiant in the operation of the Products and
the Delivered Material. Such efforts shall include, but not be
limited to, (i) identifying to Trilegiant any third party
service providers who provide services with respect to operation
and functioning of the Products, (ii) upon the request of
Trilegiant and to the extent not prohibited by Edentify’s
contractual confidentiality obligations, providing a copy of any
agreements with such third party service providers and any related
documentation to Trilegiant, and (iii) upon the request of
Trilegiant, making best efforts to organize meetings between a
Trilegiant representative and a Edentify representative and/or
third party service provider representative with respect to the
operation and functioning of the Products. Furthermore, in the
event that the Release Condition occurs, Edentify shall use its
best efforts in assisting Trilegiant in obtaining similar support
for the Products and the Delivered Material from such third party
provider as Edentify is receiving prior to such Release
Condition.
(g) Edentify hereby grants to Trilegiant a
perpetual, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free
license to use the Delivered Material for the purpose of providing
the Products to Members if Edentify ceases doing business and its
business is not continued by another entity (the “ Release
Condition ”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, upon the
occurrence of a Release Condition, Trilegiant shall send the Escrow
Agent a release request (the “ Release Request
”). Upon receipt of the Release Request, the Escrow Agent
shall, within five (5) business days, deliver a written notice of
such request to Edentify (the “ Notice of Release
Request ”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, Edentify
shall have ten (10) business days to deliver contrary
instructions to the Escrow Agent (“ Contrary
Instructions ”). Upon receipt of Contrary Instructions,
if any, the Escrow Agent will be required to send a copy of the
Contrary Instructions to Trilegiant and store the Delivered
Material without release pending either (i) joint instructions from
Edentify and Trilegiant that accept release of the Delivered
Material or (ii) receipt of an order from a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(h) All rights and licenses granted under
or pursuant to this Agreement by Edentify to Trilegiant are, and
shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of
the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “ Code
”), licenses to rights to “intellectual property”
as defined under the Code. The parties hereto agree that
Trilegiant, as a limited licensee of such rights under this
Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights
and elections under the Code. The parties hereto further agree
that, in the event of the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by
or against Edentify under the Code, Trilegiant shall be entitled to
retain all of its rights under this Agreement.
4. Customer Service Obligations
. Members entitled to use
the Products as a Member of a Trilegiant Edentify Program (as
defined below) shall be directed to Trilegiant’s customer
service department regarding all questions or problems relating to
the Products. Edentify agrees to provide training as of the
Effective Date and on an ongoing basis throughout the Term to
Trilegiant’s customer service department staff on Edentify
and the Products needed by such staff to provide adequate customer
service to Members. The dates, location and amount of training
shall be jointly determined. Edentify reserves the right, however,
to charge for such training in the event that such costs become
greater than incidental to Edentify. In such event, Edentify will
provide Trilegiant with forty-five (45) days advance written
notice thereof. As used herein, a “ Trilegiant Edentify
Program ” shall mean (i) any Program containing a
Product as one of many, or as the sole, benefit offered to Members
of such Program, (ii) any Program, the website of which
provides a link to the Edentify Website or otherwise contains other
marketing materials relating to Edentify.
5. Confidentiality .
(a) Member Information . All
personally identifiable information, including name, address,
telephone number, social security number and unique account
information, of Members created through their use of a Product in
connection herewith (collectively, “ Member
Information ”), shall be owned by, and be the
Confidential Information (as defined below) of, Trilegiant. All
personally identifiable information, including name, address,
telephone number, social security number and unique account
information, of any customers of Edentify other than Members shall
be the Confidential Information of Edentify. The Receiving Party
(as defined below) will treat all such Confidential Information in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b) below. All Member
Information shall at all times be subject to the terms of the
privacy policy posted on the Edentify Website which shall be in a
form mutually agreed to by the parties.
(b) Confidential Information . Each
party agrees that the marketing materials, information and
techniques provided by the other party (the “ Disclosing
Party ”) with respect to marketing of the Products
hereunder, and all other proprietary non-public information
provided by the Disclosing Party to the other party (the “
Receiving Party ”) hereunder, whether oral or written,
and whether or not labeled as confidential by such party (“
Confidential Information ”), is confidential and
proprietary to the Disclosing Party and is received in confidence
by the Receiving Party, and the Receiving Party will not, directly
or indirectly, use, disclose, reproduce, dispose of, sell or
otherwise transfer such information in any manner except as
required to perform such party’s obligations hereunder or as
otherwise expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Confidential Information does not include information which:
(i) is in the public domain at the time of the Disclosing
Party’s communication to the Receiving Party;
(ii) entered the public domain through no fault of the
Receiving Party subsequent to the time of the Disclosing
Party’s communication thereof to the Receiving Party;
(iii) was in the Receiving Party’s possession, free of
any obligation of confidence, at the time of the Disclosing
Party’s communication thereof to the Receiving Party;
(iv) was rightfully communicated to the Receiving Party free
of any obligation of confidence subsequent to the time of the
Disclosing Party’s communication thereof to the Receiving
Party; or (v) was developed by employees or agents of the
Receiving Party, independently of and without reference to the
Confidential Information.
(c) Confidentiality Obligation .
Each Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information shall at all
times remain the sole and exclusive property of such Disclosing
Party, and each Receiving Party shall indefinitely:
(i) exercise the same degree of care and protection (but no
less than a reasonable degree of care and protection) with respect
to the Confidential Information of the other as such Receiving
Party exercises with respect to its own information of a like
nature; (ii) not directly or indirectly disclose, copy,
transfer or allow access to any of the Confidential Information;
and (iii) not utilize any of the Confidential Information for
any purpose other than as authorized in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party may, in turn,
disclose the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party to
those of its employees or third-parties performing services for the
Receiving Party directly related to the purposes of this Agreement
that have both a need to know, and a legal duty to the Receiving
Party to protect, said Confidential Information, and to its
professional advisors. Because of the unique nature of the
Confidential Information, each party acknowledges that the other
may suffer irreparable harm in the event of a breach by it of any
obligation provided in this Section 5 and that any remedy at
law for any breach of any obligation provided in this
Section 5 may be inadequate. In the event of such a breach,
the non-breaching party will, in addition to any other remedies at
law, be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief,
without the necessity of posting bond. The exercise of any of the
foregoing rights and remedies are cumulative and not exclusive of
any other rights or remedies.
(d) Limited Exceptions .
