AGREEMENT
|
This Transition Services Agreement (the
“Agreement” ) is made and dated as of as of June
2, 2009 (the “Effective Date” ) by and between
CombinatoRx, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation with its
principal office and place of business at 245 1st Street,
Cambridge, MA 02142 ( “Provider” ), and ExCRX
Singapore Pte. Ltd., formerly known as CombinatoRx (Singapore) Pte.
Ltd., a Singapore private limited company (the
“Purchaser” ).
|
The parties agree as follows.
1. GENERAL SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
|
A. This Agreement relates to the termination of services
formerly provided by Provider to Purchaser as Provider’s
majority-owned subsidiary, and pursuant to the Services Agreement
between the Provider and CombinatoRx (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., dated
as of August 19, 2005 (the “Prior Agreement” ),
and to the transition of the performance of such services to
Purchaser or third parties designated by Purchaser.
B. The scope of the work to be performed under this Agreement,
which shall consist of the transition of certain services provided
to Purchaser to Purchaser or third parties designated by Purchaser,
shall be negotiated and set forth in a writing on terms reasonably
acceptable to both parties and in substantially the form set forth
in Exhibit A (the “Transition Services Statement of
Work” ). The Transition Services Statement of Work shall
be executed by both parties on the Effective Date. The Transition
Services Statement of Work shall include a description of the scope
of work, responsibilities, deliverables, timelines, budget and
payment schedule and shall be subject to all of the provisions of
this Agreement, in addition to the specific details set forth
therein. To the extent any provisions of the Transition Services
Statement of Work conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
When executed by both parties, the Transition Services Statement of
Work shall constitute a separate and distinct contract between the
parties and shall be incorporated herein by reference and form a
part hereof. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the Transition
Services Statement of Work, the provisions of the Transition
Services Statement of Work shall be independent of the provisions
of any Prior Statement of Work (as defined below).
C. All Statements of Work (as defined in the Prior Agreement)
entered into under the Prior Agreement and in effect as of the time
hereof (the “Prior Statements of Work” ) are
hereby terminated and of no further force and effect.
Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform
the services and fulfill the obligations and responsibilities set
forth in this Agreement and the Transition Services Statement of
Work (such services, obligations and responsibilities are referred
to herein collectively as the “Services” ).
Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all
personnel, equipment and resources necessary to perform the
Services.
Provider may engage any contractor, subcontractor or other
vendor (collectively, “Subcontractor” ) to
perform any obligations under this Agreement. Provider shall be
responsible for the management of all Subcontractors. The
engagement by Provider of any Subcontractor shall not relieve
Provider of its obligations under this Agreement or the Transition
Services Statement of Work. Any agreement between Provider and the
Subcontractor pertaining to the Services shall be consistent with
the provisions of this Agreement.
The Transition Services Statement of Work may be amended by a
written amendment which is executed by both parties (a
“Change Order” ). Each Change Order shall set
forth the agreed changes to the applicable task, responsibility,
budget, timeline or other matter. A Change Order shall become
effective only upon the execution of the Change Order by both
parties. As used in this Agreement, the term “Transition
Services Statement of Work” shall mean the Transition
Services Statement of Work as amended by any Change Orders thereto.
Each Change Order shall reference this Agreement and the Transition
Services Statement of Work and shall be subject to the provisions
of this Agreement. To the extent any provisions of a Change Order
conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement,
the provisions of this Agreement shall control. All Change Orders
shall be incorporated herein by reference and form a part
hereof.
The term of this Agreement shall begin as of the Effective Date
and shall terminate automatically on the date that is the later of
(a) the date on which all the Services and responsibilities
described in the Transition Services Statement of Work have been
completed and discharged and the deliverables provided in the
Transition Services Statement of Work have been provided or (b)
September 30, 2009; provided, however, that this Agreement and the
Transition Services Statement of Work may be earlier terminated in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
A. Payment shall be due to Provider at such times and in such
amounts as set forth in this Agreement and the Transition Services
Statement of Work applicable to the Services being provided. All
costs and rates set forth in the Transition Services Statement of
Work shall remain firm for the duration of the Services performed
under the Transition Services Statement of Work. Provider shall
submit to Purchaser Provider’s invoice in accordance with the
schedule set forth in the Transition Services Statement of Work,
and Purchaser shall pay to Provider the applicable amount within
thirty (30) days following receipt by Purchaser of such invoice.
Payment shall be made by wire transfer to Provider or by such other
means as is agreed by the parties.
B. Purchaser will be in default with respect to payment, without
receipt of a reminder from Provider, for all payments not paid
timely. In case of default with respect to payment, any
- 2 -
amount not paid timely shall bear interest
from its due date through the date of effective receipt of payment
at the rate equal to the lesser of the maximum rate allowable under
applicable law or one percent (1%) over the prime rate published in
the eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal on the date
such payment was due or a comparable newspaper if The Wall
Street Journal shall cease publishing the prime rate. All
monies due to Provider hereunder are payable in United States
dollars.
C. All prices under this Agreement are net prices. Any payment
under this Agreement shall be made plus value added tax, if value
added tax is levied under applicable law, and shall be grossed up
for any withholding tax that may be required under applicable law.
Fees of any nature levied or incurred on account of any payments
from Purchaser to Provider accruing under this Agreement, by
national, state or local governments, will be assumed and paid by
Purchaser.
All notices, invoices and other communications under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when (i) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of
receipt), or (ii) when received by the addressee, if sent by an
internationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt
requested), to the appropriate address set forth below (or to such
