ARTICLE II
SERVICES
SECTION 2.01. Provision of
Services; Reimbursement of Expenses . (a) Hippo agrees to
provide, or cause to be provided, solely to the Company and its
Subsidiaries each line item of service (each such item, a “
Line Item of Service ”) set forth on Schedule A
attached hereto and made a part hereof (all such Line Items of
Service and the services provided under Section 2.01(c) hereof
being, collectively, the “ Transition Services
”) for a period of 12 months following the Closing, subject
to earlier termination or extension in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement (the “ Term ”).
(b) If it becomes necessary
for Hippo to increase staffing or acquire equipment or make any
investments or capital expenditures to accommodate an increase in
the use of any Transition Service beyond the level of use of such
Transition Service immediately following the
2
Closing as a result of a material
increase in volume of the Business or a material change in the
manner in which the Business is being conducted, Hippo shall inform
the Company in writing of such necessity before any such increase,
acquisition, investment or capital expenditure is made. Upon mutual
agreement of Hippo and the Company acting in good faith as to the
necessity of any such increase, acquisition, investment or capital
expenditure, the Company shall reimburse Hippo an amount equal to
the actual costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. If
such mutual agreement is not reached, Hippo’s obligation to
provide or cause to be provided such Transition Service shall be
limited to the level of such Transition Service then in
effect.
(c) Prior to a Change of
Control, the Company shall pay to Hippo for each Line Item of
Service the applicable fees set forth on Schedule A .
Following a Change of Control, the Company shall pay to Hippo for
each Line Item of Service the applicable fees set forth on
Schedule B . Compensation for Transition Services shall be
computed solely as set forth in Schedule A or Schedule
B , as applicable, and shall not take into account the value of
any referral for the provision of health care services that Hippo
or the Company may otherwise generate between each other. Hippo
shall deliver a statement to the Company each month for Transition
Services provided to the Company during the preceding month, and
such statement shall set forth a brief description of such
Transition Services and the amounts charged therefor. Any payments
by the Company payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in
U.S. Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account designated by Hippo no later than 30 days following the
Company’s receipt of the applicable statement, without
set-off, defense or counterclaim. Hippo reserves the right to
suspend performance under this Agreement upon failure of the
Company to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement in the time
period required by the immediately preceding sentence.
(d) Hippo shall cause the
Transition Services to be provided with the same level of care used
by Hippo or its Affiliates in the conduct of Hippo’s or its
Affiliates’ businesses. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT,
HIPPO MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER
WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSITION SERVICES PERFORMED OR PROVIDED TO
THE COMPANY HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY, BY
OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, AND HIPPO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY
AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND SUITABILITY OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES. The Company
acknowledges that certain Line Item(s) of Service may be provided
by third-party providers with whom Hippo or an Affiliate of Hippo
has contracted for such Line Item(s) of Service (each, a “
Third Party Provider ”); provided that Hippo
shall not contract a Third Party Provider for the provision of any
material portion of any Line Item of Service without the
Company’s prior written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (for the avoidance of doubt, the
parties agree that it would not be unreasonable for the Company to
withhold its consent to Hippo’s contracting a Third Party
Provider if such Third Party Provider does not agree to provide the
Company with the same level of service, representations and
warranties or indemnification as provided by Hippo to the Company
hereunder). Hippo makes no representation or warranty of any kind
with respect to any Line Item of Service provided by a Third Party
Provider.
(e) Subject to the
Company’s continuing obligation to make payments then owing
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may terminate the Term as
to any or all Transition
3
Services upon 60 days’ prior
written notice to Hippo. If Hippo shall cease to provide a
particular Line Item of Service for itself or the particular Line
Item of Service is provided by a Third Party Provider and
Hippo’s contract with such Third Party Provider has expired
or terminated, Hippo may cease to provide such Line Item of Service
to the Company, effective as of the later of (x) the time that
Hippo ceases to provide such Line Item of Service for itself or the
date on which Hippo’s contract with such Third Party Provider
expires or terminates and (y) following 60 days’ notice
to the Company. This Agreement may be immediately terminated by
Hippo in its sole discretion with respect to a Subsidiary of the
Company to which Transition Services are provided pursuant to this
Agreement upon the sale by the Company of all or substantially all
of the capital stock of the Subsidiary or a merger with a third
party of such Subsidiary.
(f) The Company acknowledges
that the demand for Transition Services may exceed Hippo’s
available capacity to provide such Transition Services to the
Company, making it necessary for Hippo to prioritize among the
requests for Transition Services made by the Company to Hippo or
take other steps to manage efficiently the provision of such
Transition Services to the Company.
(g) The Transition Services
will be provided by Hippo in accordance with Hippo’s policies
and procedures in effect as of the date of the Master Transaction
Agreement. The Company shall conform to the requirements of such
policies or procedures.
(h) Hippo shall be reimbursed
by the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with the provision of Transition Services under this
Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. Confidential
Information . (a) Any information of either party to this
Agreement provided to or accessible by the other party in
connection herewith, regardless of form, including all data,
processes, technical drawings, designs and concepts; software
programs, routines, formulae and concepts, production plans,
designs, layouts and schedules; marketing analyses, plans, customer
data and surveys; and all matters relating to either party’s
finances and personnel and any other information (“
Confidential Information ”) shall be received and held
in strict confidence, used only for purposes related to this
Agreement or as provided in the other Transaction Agreements and
shall not otherwise be disclosed by the other party, its agents,
employees, contractors or subcontractors, without the prior written
consent of the disclosing party. “Confidential
Information” as defined herein does not include any
information (i) lawfully received by the receiving party on a
non-confidential basis from another source which is not known by
the receiving party to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality
or otherwise restricted from transmitting the information by a
contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, (ii) that is or
becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of
a breach of this Section 2.02(a), (iii) known to the
receiving party at the time of disclosure free from any
confidentiality obligations, provided that the source of such
information is not known by the receiving party to be bound by an
obligation of confidentiality or otherwise restricted from
transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary
obligation or (iv) independently developed by the receiving
party without the use of or reference to Confidential Information.
Each party shall be fully responsible for breaches of its
obligations under this Section 2.02 by its agents, employees,
contractors or subcontractors. Upon expiration or any termination
of this Agreement, Hippo and the Company shall return, or at the
receiving party’s option destroy, all documentation in any
medium that contains or refers to the disclosing
party’s
4
Confidential Information, and retain no
copies, other than one archival copy for evidentiary purposes. Any
destruction of Confidential Information in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall be certified in writing by an authorized
officer of the receiving party at the request of the disclosing
party.
(b) The Confidential
Information of the disclosing party is, and shall remain, the
property of the disclosing party.
SECTION 2.03. Access .
(a) The Company agrees that it shall, without charge, provide
Hippo (or any Affiliate of Hippo or Third Party Provider) with such
access to the Company’s premises and/or personnel, and such
assistance, as may reasonably be required for Hippo (or such
Affiliate of Hippo or such Third Party Provider) to perform its
obligations under this Agreement. If either party has access
(either on-site or remotely) to any of the other party’s
computer systems in relation to the Transition Services, such party
shall limit such access solely to the use of such systems for
purposes of the Transition Services and shall not access or attempt
to access any of such other party’s computer systems, files,
software or services other than those required for the Transition
Services, or those that are publicly available. Each party shall
limit such access to those of its employees, agents or contractors
with a bona fide need to have such access in connection with the
Transition Services, and shall follow all the other party’s
security rules and procedures for restricting access to its
computer systems in effect as of the date of the Master Transaction
Agreement. All user identification numbers and passwords disclosed
to a party and any information obtained by such party as a result
of such party’s access to and use of the other party’s
computer systems shall be deemed to be, and treated as,
Confidential Information hereunder. Hippo
