Three-Party Escrow Service Agreement
1. Introduction
This Three Party Escrow Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Information Services Corporation (the “Depositor”), and by the State of Michigan (the “Beneficiary”) and by NCC Group Software Resilience (NA) LLC (“NCC Group”), a Delaware limited liability company. Depositor, Beneficiary, and NCC Group may be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties” throughout this Agreement.
(a) The use of the term services in this Agreement shall refer to NCC Group services that facilitate the creation, management, and enforcement of software or other technology escrow accounts as described in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement (“Services”). A Party shall request Services under this Agreement by selecting such Service on Exhibit A upon execution of the Agreement or by submitting a work request for certain NCC Group Services (“Work Request”) via written instruction or websites owned or controlled by NCC Group (collectively the “NCC Group Website”).
(b) The Beneficiary and Depositor have entered into Software Contract Terms and Conditions effective as of November 1, 2023 (“License Agreement”) conveying intellectual property rights to the Beneficiary, and the Parties intend this Agreement to be considered as supplementary to such agreement, pursuant to Title 11 United States [Bankruptcy] Code, Section 365(n).
2. Depositor Responsibilities and Representations
(a) It shall be solely the Depositor’s responsibility to: (i) make an initial deposit of all proprietary technology and other materials covered under this Agreement (“Deposit Material”) to NCC Group within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date;
(ii) make any required updates to the Deposit Material during the Term (as defined below) of this Agreement; and (iii) ensure that a minimum of one (1) copy of Deposit Material is deposited with NCC Group at all times. At the time of each deposit or update, Depositor will provide an accurate and complete description of all Deposit Material sent to NCC Group using the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B.
(b) Depositor represents that it lawfully possesses all Deposit Material provided to NCC Group under this Agreement and that any current or future Deposit Material liens or encumbrances will not prohibit, limit, or alter the rights and obligations of NCC Group under this Agreement. Depositor warrants that with respect to the Deposit Material, NCC Group’s proper administration of this Agreement will not violate the rights of any third parties.
(c) Depositor represents that all Deposit Material is readable and useable in its then current form; if any portion of such Deposit Material is encrypted, the necessary decryption tools and keys to read such material are deposited contemporaneously.
3. Beneficiary Responsibilities and Representations
(a) Beneficiary acknowledges that, as between NCC Group and Beneficiary, NCC Group’s obligation is to maintain the Deposit
Material as delivered by the Depositor and that, other than NCC Group’s inspection of the Deposit Material (as described in Section 4) and the performance of any of the optional verification Services listed in Exhibit A, NCC Group has no other obligation regarding the completeness, accuracy, or functionality of the Deposit Material.
(b) It shall be solely the Beneficiary’s responsibility to monitor whether a deposit or deposit update has been accepted by NCC Group.
4. NCC Group Responsibilities and Representations
(a) NCC Group agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services requested by Authorized Person(s) (as identified in the “Authorized Person(s)/Notices Table” below) representing the Depositor or Beneficiary in a Work Request. NCC Group may reject a Work Request (in whole or in part) that does not contain all required information at any time upon notification to the Party originating the Work Request.
(b) NCC Group will conduct a visual inspection upon receipt of any Deposit Material and associated Exhibit B. If NCC Group determines that the Deposit Material does not match the description provided by Depositor represented in Exhibit B, NCC Group will notify Depositor of such discrepancy.
(c) NCC Group will provide notice to the Beneficiary of all Deposit Material that is accepted and deposited into the escrow account under this Agreement. Either Depositor or Beneficiary may obtain information regarding deposits or deposit updates upon request or through the NCC Group Website.
(d) NCC Group will follow the provisions of Exhibit C attached to this Agreement in administering the release of Deposit Material.
3P.US/10.4.2023 ©2023 NCC Group Software Resilience (NA) LLC Page 2 of 11
(e) NCC Group will hold and protect Deposit Material in physical or electronic vaults within the United States that are either owned or under the control of NCC Group, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties.
(f) Upon receipt of written instructions by both Depositor and Beneficiary, NCC Group will permit the replacement or removal of previously submitted Deposit Material. The Party making such request shall be responsible for getting the other Party to approve the joint instructions. Any Deposit Material that is removed from the deposit account will be either returned to Depositor or destroyed in accordance with Depositor’s written instructions.
(g) Should transport of Deposit Material be necessary for NCC Group to perform Services requested by Depositor or Beneficiary under this Agreement or following the termination of this Agreement, NCC Group will use a commercially recognized overnight carrier such as Federal Express or United Parcel Service. NCC Group will not be responsible for any loss or destruction of, or damage to, such Deposit Material while in the custody of the common carrier.
5. Deposit Material Verification
(a) Beneficiary may submit a verification Work Request to NCC Group for one or more of the Services defined in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement and Depositor consents to NCC Group’s performance of any level(s) of such Services. Upon request by NCC Group and in support of Beneficiary’s request for verification Services, Depositor shall promptly complete and return an escrow deposit questionnaire and reasonably cooperate with NCC Group by providing reasonable access to its technical personnel whenever reasonably necessary.
(b) The Parties consent to NCC Group’s use of a subcontractor to perform verification Services. Such subcontractor shall be bound by the same confidentiality obligations as NCC Group and shall not be a direct competitor to either Depositor or Beneficiary. NCC Group shall be responsible for the delivery of Services of any such subcontractor as if NCC Group had performed the Services. Depositor warrants and Beneficiary warrants, individually, that any material it supplies for verification Services is lawful, does not violate the rights of any third parties and is provided with all rights necessary for NCC Group to perform verification of the Deposit Material.
(c) NCC Group will work with a Party who submits any verification Work Request for Deposit Material covered under this Agreement to either fulfill any standard verification Services Work Request or develop a custom Statement of Work (“SOW”). NCC Group and the requesting Party will mutually agree in writing to an SOW on terms and conditions that include but are not limited to: description of Deposit Material to be tested; description of verification testing; requesting Party responsibilities; NCC Group responsibilities; Service Fees; invoice payment instructions; designation of the paying Party; designation of authorized SOW representatives for both the requesting Party and NCC Group with name and contact information; and description of any final deliverables prior to the start of any fulfillment activity. Provided that the requesting Party has identified in the verification Work Request or SOW that the Deposit Material is subject to the regulations of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR 120)(hereinafter “ITAR”), NCC Group shall ensure that any subcontractor who is granted access to the Deposit Material for the performance of verification Services shall be a U.S. Person as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20) or who is a protected person as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3). After the start of fulfillment activity, each SOW may only be amended or modified in writing with the mutual agreement of both Parties, in accordance with the change control procedures set forth in the SOW. If the verification Services extend beyond those described in Exhibit A, the Depositor shall be a necessary Party to the SOW governing the Services.
6. Payment The Party responsible for payment designated in the Paying Party Billing Contact Table (“Paying Party”) shall pay to NCC Group all fees as set forth in the Work Request (“Service Fees”). All Service Fees are due within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of invoice in U.S. currency and are non-refundable. NCC Group may update Service Fees with a ninety (90) calendar day written notice to the Paying Party during the Term of this Agreement (as defined below). The Paying Party is liable for any taxes (other than NCC Group income taxes) related to Services purchased under this Agreement or shall present to NCC Group an exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities. Applicable taxes shall be billed as a separate item on the invoice. Any Service Fees not collected by NCC Group when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate of one percent (1%) per month (12% per annum) or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Notwithstanding the non-performance of any obligations of Depositor to deliver Deposit Material under the License Agreement or this Agreement, NCC Group is entitled to be paid all Service Fees that accrue during the Term of this Agreement.
7. Term and Termination
(a) The term of this Agreement is for a period of one (1) year from the Effective Date (“Initial Term”) and will automatically renew for additional one (1) year terms (“Renewal Term”) (collectively the “Term”). This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until one of the following events occur: (i) Depositor and Beneficiary provide NCC Group with sixty (60) days’ prior written joint notice of their intent to terminate this Agreement; (ii) Beneficiary provides NCC Group and Depositor with sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement; (iii) the Agreement terminates under another provision of this Agreement; or (iv) any time after the Initial Term, NCC Group provides sixty
(60) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor and Beneficiary of NCC Group’s intent to terminate this Agreement. The Effective Date and the Deposit Account Number shall be supplied by NCC Group only. The Effective Date supplied by NCC Group and specified above shall be the date NCC Group sets up the escrow account.
3P.US/10.4.2023 ©2023 NCC Group Software Resilience (NA) LLC Page 3 of 11
(b) Unless the express terms of this Agreement provide otherwise, upon termination of this Agreement, NCC Group shall return physical Deposit Material to the Depositor and erase electronically submitted Deposit Material. If reasonable attempts to return the physical Deposit Material to Depositor are unsuccessful, NCC Group shall destroy the Deposit Material.
(c) In the event of the nonpayment of undisputed Service Fees owed to NCC Group, NCC Group shall provide all Parties to this Agreement with written notice of NCC Group’s intent to terminate this Agreement. Any Party to this Agreement shall have the right to make the payment to NCC Group to cure the default. If the past due payment is not received in full by NCC Group within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such written notice, then NCC Group shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending written notice to all Parties. NCC Group shall have no obligation to perform the Services under this Agreement (except those obligations that survive termination of this Agreement, which includes the confidentiality obligations in Section 10) so long as any undisputed Service Fees due NCC Group under this Agreement remain unpaid.
8. Infringement Indemnification Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Depositor at its own expense shall defend, indemnify and hold NCC Group fully harmless against any claim or action asserted against NCC Group (specifically including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with any such claim or action) to the extent such claim or action is based on an assertion that NCC Group’s administration of this Agreement infringes any patent, copyright, license or other proprietary right of any third party.
