AMENDED AND RESTATED TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of December 21, 2006, is entered into between Applied Digital Solutions, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“ ADSX ”), and VeriChip Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ VeriChip ”; references to VeriChip in this Agreement shall include VeriChip’s direct and indirect subsidiary companies).

Preliminary Statements

A. ADSX and VeriChip are parties to a Transition Services Agreement, dated December 27, 2005 (the “Original Agreement”) providing for ADSX’s provision to VeriChip of transition services.

B. ADSX and VeriChip desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to reflect the terms and conditions set forth herein, with the terms hereof superseding the terms of the Original Agreement.

C. ADSX and VeriChip desire that this Amended and Restated Transition Services Agreement become effective as of the date of completion of VeriChip’s initial public offering (the “ Offering ”) of securities (the “ Effective Date ”), at which time VeriChip will pay to ADSX, out of the net proceeds of the Offering, the amounts due and payable under the terms of the Original Agreement, which VeriChip acknowledges have been added to VeriChip’s indebtedness under the terms of the separate loan agreement between the parties.

Agreement

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, together with other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Services and Compensation.

1.1 Transition Services . During the Term (as defined below), ADSX shall provide or cause to be provided to VeriChip certain administrative services that ADSX has provided to VeriChip prior to December 27, 2005 (i.e., the effective date of the Original Agreement) and ADSX shall pay certain expenses, in each case as requested from time to time by VeriChip. These services and payment of expenses include those transition services set forth on Schedule 1-A and those transition expenses set forth on Schedule 1-B. Such “transition services” and the “transition expenses” are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “ Transition Services ”). ADSX shall not be obligated to expand the scope of the Transition Services significantly beyond the scope of those services and expenses being provided to VeriChip prior to the Offering (as defined below).

 

 


 

1.2 Additional Services . The parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement regarding the provision of additional services which VeriChip may request of ADSX beyond those included in the Transition Services set forth on Schedule 1-A or 1-B (the “ Additional Services ”), and the applicable service fees, payment procedures and other rights and obligations with respect thereto. In the event the parties reach agreement as to the provision of Additional Services, Schedules 1-A and 1-B shall be amended to reflect such Additional Services and the applicable fees relating thereto.

 

 1.3 Compensation for Transition Services and Additional Services .

(a) As compensation for the Transition Services and Additional Services to be provided by ADSX to VeriChip hereunder, the following shall be payable by VeriChip Corporation on a monthly basis:

(i) the amounts specified as “Costs Allocated to VeriChip” on Schedule 1-C, as such schedule may be amended from time to time upon the mutual agreement of the parties,

(ii) the reasonable out-of-pocket direct expenses incurred by ADSX in connection with providing Transition Services and/or Additional Services,

(iii) the costs of the services and expenses incurred by ADSX on behalf of VeriChip in connection with the Offering, and

(iv) charges by third party service providers incurred in connection with the Offering that are attributable to Transition Services provided to or for VeriChip and are not included in (i) or (ii) above.

(b) Charges for the Transition Services and Additional Services shall be invoiced by ADSX, on or about the tenth day of the calendar month next following the calendar month in which the Transition Services or Additional Services have been performed, and such invoice shall be accompanied with reasonable documentation supporting each of the invoiced amounts. Unless VeriChip disagrees as to the amounts (or any amount) invoiced, including, without limitation, whether the Transition Services and/or Additional Services or costs thereof covered by the invoice are properly allocable to VeriChip, such invoice shall be payable by VeriChip within 30 days following receipt thereof. In the event of any such disagreement between ADSX and VeriChip, VeriChip shall pay the amount of the invoice not in dispute and the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. ADSX shall maintain accurate and complete books of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices necessary to support the amounts set forth on all invoices.

(c) ADSX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) utilize resources and otherwise provide the Transition Services and Additional Services in a cost-effective manner and to otherwise minimize expenses, and (ii) minimize any costs allocated to VeriChip. Without limiting the foregoing, if, upon the request of VeriChip or for any other reason, the volume of any Transition Services or Additional Services is reduced or terminated, ADSX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the costs associated with providing the remaining Transition Services or Additional Services, to the extent and as soon as reasonably practicable.

In the event of any disagreement between VeriChip and ADSX as to the amounts paid or payable in respect of the Transition Services and/or Additional Services following such inspection, audit or verification, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. VeriChip shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with such inspection, audit or verification. This Section 1.3(d) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
