All corporate proceedings have been taken and all corporate authorizations and approvals have been secured which are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by the Company and the Consultant of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the Consultant and constitutes a valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with the respective terms herein. Upon delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement, and the other agreements and exhibits referred to herein, will constitute the valid and binding obligations of Company, and will be enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

Assignment of the Agreement This Agreement and the rights hereunder may be assigned by FirstLink to any majority-owned subsidiary of FirstLink or to an affiliate or party acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of FirstLink upon prior written consent of Owner. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Alternatively, the Agreement may be assigned by FirstLink to any FirstLink subsidiary so long as FirstLink agrees in writing that it shall remain liable for all obligations arising under this Agreement. FirstLink may also assign this Agreement to any party providing financing to FirstLink; provided that such assignment shall not relieve FirstLink from its obligations hereunder. In connection with a sale or disposition of the Properties, Owner shall request FirstLink's written consent to assign this Agreement and shall require any subsequent owner of the Properties to assume this Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the respective parties to this Agreement.
Review of the Agreement Any amendment or review of this Agreement shall be by agreement in writing and in compliance with section 7.5 of the Act.
Construction of the Agreement The Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between two sophisticated business entities with legal counsel as to its subject and supersedes all prior agreements, conditions, warranties, representations, arrangements and communications, including purchase orders issued by Client, whether oral or written, and whether with or by Accenture, any of its affiliates, or any of their employees, officers, directors, agents or shareholders. Each party acknowledges that it entered into the Agreement solely based on the agreements and representations contained herein, and has not relied upon any representations, warranties, promises, or inducements of any kind, whether oral or written, and from any source. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any term of the Agreement to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such term or provision will not affect the other terms of this Agreement and will be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the court’s opinion, to render such term enforceable while preserving to the fullest extent permissible the intent and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement. No waiver or modification of any provision of the Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against which it is sought to be enforced. The delay or failure by either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement is not a waiver of that party’s right to later enforce those rights, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise of these rights or any other right. There are no third-party beneficiaries to the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between these GTC and an Order Form, the Order Form controls for purposes of that Order Form only.
Operation of the Agreement The Parties recognize that it is impractical in this Agreement to provide for every contingency which may arise during the life of the Agreement, and the Parties hereby agree that it is their intention that this Agreement shall operate fairly as between them, and without detriment to the interest of either of them, and that, if during the term of this Agreement either Party believes that this Agreement is operating unfairly, the Parties will use their best efforts to agree on such action as may be necessary to remove the cause or causes of such unfairness, but failure to agree on any action pursuant to this Clause 8.2 shall not give rise to a dispute subject to arbitration in accordance with Clause 9 hereof.
Modifications to the Agreement This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Employee expressly warrants that he or she is not executing this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.
