On the Agreement Date, Innotrac agrees to commence preparation to provide to Client the services, as identified in Exhibit A, mutually agreed to by the parties (the “Services”) with respect to Client’s products (the “Products” or “Product”) in a manner to fulfill the Client’s requirements.

Confidential | Page 1 |
Innotrac will promptly advise Client in writing at any time that Innotrac believes modifications to the Services are needed to achieve such results, and if such modifications are material, the parties may agree on a change in the Services in accordance with this Section 1.1. If Client desires to purchase services in addition to the Services or add products in addition to the Products or modify the Services, Client shall submit a written request for such changes to Innotrac, and Innotrac will then prepare a document (a “Change Order”) outlining the scope of additional work and describing the particular additional services to be purchased by Client and provided by Innotrac, together with pricing for the additional services, and time lines for design, development and delivery, as applicable. If and when the parties execute a mutually agreed upon Change Order, it will become part of this Agreement and the additional services and/or products described in therein shall thereafter be included in the Services and the Products covered by this Agreement. Unless and until the parties execute the Change Order, however, Innotrac shall have no duty to furnish the additional services or handle any additional products (and Client shall have no obligation to pay for the additional services if those additional services were not performed).
Section 2.1 Prices.
(a) | Client agrees to pay for the Services furnished by Innotrac at the rates set forth in Exhibit A and referred to herein as the “Prices.” Subject to Section 1.2(b) below with regard to the amount of a Price increase, Innotrac may increase the Prices once, twelve (12) months after the Commencement Date, and thereafter may subsequently increase the Prices annually at the beginning of each Renewal Term (as defined in Section 6.1 below) by giving prior written notice of such increase in Prices (an “Adjustment Notice”) to Client at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the commencement of the twelve (12) month period for which such increase in Prices shall be effective. Annually, Innotrac may not exceed a 5% price increase. |
(b) | In addition to any Price increases pursuant to Section 1.2(a), beginning with the first 12-month period after the Commencement Date, Innotrac shall annually increase the Prices by the lesser of (i) three (3%) percent and, (ii) the increase in CPI-W for each Adjustment Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, “CPI-W” shall mean the official Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Worker, U.S. City Average, All Items 1982-84 (U.S. Department of Labor). |
(c) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Innotrac may increase Prices for postage, freight, other shipping services, or telephone service upon prior written notice to Client. In the event that Innotrac’s third party vendors increase the rates charged to Innotrac, Innotrac shall provide notice of such increase to Client and such increase will be effective at the time the increase is imposed upon Innotrac. Additionally, if Innotrac allocates the cost of the service provided by such vendor to multiple customers (e.g., the service comprises part of “overhead”), such notice of increased third party vendor rates shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed description of the basis on which Innotrac is allocating the increased rates among its customers. If the revised third party vendor prices are unacceptable to Client, Client shall stipulate to Innotrac, in writing, an alternate third party vendor source to be used for Client. Innotrac shall use best efforts to use the services of third party vendors selected by Client. If Innotrac is unable for any reason whatsoever to engage such third party vendor, Innotrac shall have the discretion to engage a third party vendor of its choice. Any increase in costs for the services in this Section 1.2(c) provided by third party vendors selected by Client shall be borne by Client. |

2. As used herein, “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all technical or business information, including third party information (including, but not limited to, trade secrets, product/service specifications, prototypes, computer programs, models, drawings, marketing plans, financial data, and personnel statistics) provided, disclosed or made accessible by one party to the other that is either identified as or would reasonably be understood to be confidential and/or proprietary. “Confidential Information” does not include information that the receiving party can clearly establish by written evidence: (a) is or becomes known to the receiving party from a third party without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality; (b) is or becomes generally known to the public through no act or omission of the receiving party; or (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of Confidential Information of the disclosing party.

7. Except for the obligations of use and confidentiality imposed herein, no obligation of any kind is assumed or implied against either party by virtue of the parties’ meetings or conversations with respect to the subject matter stated above or with respect to whatever Confidential Information is exchanged. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the receiving party does not breach this Agreement, this Agreement shall not impair or restrict the receiving party’s right to make, procure or market any products or services, now or in the future, that may be similar to or competitive with those offered by the disclosing party, or that are the subject matter of the information exchanged pursuant to this Agreement.
8. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as granting to either party any right or license under any copyrights, inventions, or patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by the other party.
