(2) This Agreement shall not apply to claims which have been settled or procedures which have been initiated prior to its entry into force.
Administration of the Agreement The Agreement shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegate (the “Administrator”). Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, the Administrator shall have full and final authority in its discretion to take any action with respect to the Agreement including, without limitation, the authority to (i) determine all matters relating to the payments; (ii) establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of the Agreement; and (iii) construe and interpret the Agreement, to interpret rules and regulations for administering the Agreement and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Agreement. Except to the extent otherwise required under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), the Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the date that any Consultation Payments or Separation Payments which were not otherwise vested or earned shall become vested or earned in whole or in part without any obligation to accelerate such date with respect to any other employee. The Administrator also may in its sole discretion determine that Executive’s rights or payments under the Agreement shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment due to conduct by Executive that is determined by the Administrator to be detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company, including, without limitation, upon termination of employment for cause; violation of policies of the Company; or breach of non-solicitation, noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that apply to the Executive. In addition to action by meeting in accordance with applicable laws, any action of the Administrator with respect to the Agreement may be taken by a written instrument signed by the Administrator (including, where the Board or a committee serves as the Administrator, by written consent signed by all of the members of the Board, or all of the members of a committee, and any such action so taken by written consent shall be as fully effective as if it had been taken by a majority of the members at a meeting duly held and called). No individual shall be liable while acting as Administrator for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Agreement, and any such individual shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement in the manner provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and/or under applicable law.

Notification of Government Investigation or Legal Proceeding Provider shall notify OIG, in writing, of any ongoing investigation or legal proceeding by a governmental entity or its agents involving an allegation that Provider has committed a crime or has engaged in fraudulent activities, within 30 days of Provider receiving notice of such investigation or legal proceeding.

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.
Execution of the Agreement The Company, the party executing this Agreement on behalf of the Company, and the Consultant, have the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as all transactions contemplated hereunder. 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. Delivery may take place via facsimile transmission.
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.
Notification of litigation The Borrower will provide the Agent with details of any legal or administrative action involving the Borrower, any Security Party, the Approved Manager, any Ship or the Earnings or the Insurances of any Ship as soon as such action is instituted or it becomes apparent to the Borrower that it is likely to be instituted, unless it is clear that the legal or administrative action cannot be considered material in the context of any Finance Document.
