4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; PRESS RELEASE.

a. Confidentiality Obligations. Each party will (i) hold all Confidential Information of the other party in strict confidence and will not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party except to its officers, employees, contractors and agents (collectively, “representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that the receiving party’s representatives have been informed by the receiving party of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and have been instructed by such receiving party to keep such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 4(a), it being understood that the receiving party will be responsible for any breaches of this Section 4(a) by such representatives, (ii) avoid the unauthorized use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses in safeguarding its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care, and (iii) use the other party’s Confidential Information only in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions on Confidential Information contained in this Section 4(a) will not apply to the extent that such disclosure is: (i) approved in writing by the disclosing party, (ii) necessary for the receiving party to enforce its rights under this Agreement in connection with a legal proceeding, or (iii) required by law or by the order of a court or a similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the receiving party promptly notifies the disclosing party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with the disclosing party, at the disclosing party’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

b. Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge that (i) the covenants contained in Section 4(a) are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the parties; (ii) the parties would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such covenants; and (iii) any violation or threatened violation of such covenants would cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be adequate. Therefore, the parties agree that, in the event of a breach of Section 4(a) by a party, the other party will be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law, and the breaching party will reimburse the non-breaching party for the reasonable costs associated with such enforcement (including any attorney’s fees).

c. Usage Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Subscriber hereby (i) authorizes EVC to disclose anonymized Usage Data to third party utilities and government authorities to the extent EVC is required to share such Usage Data with such third parties under a written agreement with the applicable third party and (ii) grants to EVC a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive right and license to use reproduce, distribute, and make derivative works of the Usage Data.

5. PAYMENT.

a. Fees. Subscriber will pay EVC (i) the fees (collectively, the “Fees”) set forth in Exhibit B to this Online Master Services Agreement and in the Sales Order into which this Agreement has been incorporated (the “Sales Order”) and (ii) any Expenses by ACH in U.S. Dollars directly to EVC’s bank account. If EVC incurs any fees or expenses resulting from Subscriber’s chosen method of payment, Subscriber must reimburse EVC for such fees and expenses. After the Initial Term (as defined in Section 6(a)), each of the Fees will be increased by three percent (3%) in each Renewal Term, on a compounded basis.

b. Invoices and Terms. Subject to any fee payment schedule set forth on the Sales Order or any applicable Statement of Work, at the beginning of each calendar month, EVC will deliver an invoice to Subscriber for the Fees and/or Expenses due to EVC for such calendar month and any prior calendar months. Subscriber will pay each invoice in United States dollars via ACH (initiated by Subscriber) within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date or by such other date specified on the applicable Statement of Work. If Subscriber breaches the immediately preceding sentence at any time during the Term, Subscriber hereby authorizes EVC to debit Client’s designated bank account (ACH) for any Fees then accrued or thereafter accrued until the expiration or termination of this Agreement, without any further authorization from Subscriber. If Subscriber wishes to alter its designated bank account, Subscriber will immediately provide EVC with the information regarding the new designated account necessary for EVC to debit such account pursuant to this paragraph.

If any Fee or other amount owed is past due, EVC reserves the right to (i) apply a service charge to such overdue balance at the rate of 1.5% per month (but in no event more than the maximum rate allowed by law); and/or (ii) suspend Subscriber’s access to the EVC Service.

c. Taxes. Subscriber will also be responsible for payment of all taxes (other than taxes based on EVC’s income), fees, duties, and other governmental charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of Fees to EVC under this Agreement, whether collected by taxing authorities pursuant to existing Legal Requirements or Legal Requirements enacted in the future. Subscriber will pay all Fees to EVC free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes.

d. Other Payments.

a. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue for the period set forth in the Sales Order (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”; and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless either party notifies the other party of its intention not to renew this Agreement at least one hundred eighty (180) days before the end of the then-current Renewal Term.

b.

Either party’s termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy that it may have at law or in equity, and will not relieve either party of breaches occurring prior to the effective date of such termination.
