SERVICES AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.2
This Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made between GlobalSCAPE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GS)” and ATSI Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ATSI”), effective this 11 day of June, 2002 (the “Effective Date”).
1. Prepaid Services. During the Initial Term of this Agreement ATSI shall provide the following services for GS consistent with past practices (the “Prepaid Services”):
a. investor relations;
b. payroll and benefits administration;
c. accounting support, including use of shared accounting platform;
d. casualty and liability insurance procurement, including solicitation, negotiation and administration, and premium payments;
e. directors and officers insurance procurement, including solicitation, negotiation, administration, and premium payments through March 11, 2003, and beyond if cost beneficial;
f. 401(k) administration and contributions.
2. Other Services. From time to time at GS’ request, ATSI may, but is not required to, perform services in addition to the Prepaid Services, and from time to time at ATSI’s request GS may, but is not required to, perform services for ATSI (“Requested Services”). ATSI and GS will establish written specifications, time frames for completion, compensation and other issues for each item of Requested Services under this Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A and each such written specification shall become an addendum to this Agreement.
3. Fees and Expenses. The parties agree that the value of the Prepaid Services is $5,500 per month, but that GS shall owe ATSI no amounts as fees in relation to the Prepaid Services for the Initial Term. GS expenses paid by ATSI to third parties, such as 401(k) contributions in respect of GS employees and GS’ portion of any insurance premiums, shall be reimbursed by GS in the amount actually paid without xxxx-up upon receipt of ATSI’s invoice. Fees and expenses for Requested Services shall be as stated in each addendum to this Agreement and shall be invoiced as provided in the relevant addendum. Fees and expenses are overdue thirty days following the due date stated in the relevant addendum. Overdue amounts shall bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum.
5. Term and Termination.
(a) This initial term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and ends on March 11, 2003 (the “Initial Term”). The Agreement shall automatically renew at the expiration of the Initial Term for successive thirty (30) day terms until terminated by either party on ten days advance written notice.
(b) GS may terminate this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion, provided, however, that the Agreement will remain in effect for the remaining term of any written addendum executed pursuant to this Agreement as provided in Section 2. GS acknowledges that if it terminates the Agreement prior to the expiration of the Initial Term other than for Default, as defined below, no amounts shall be due GS in relation to Prepaid Services not performed after the effective date of termination. ATSI may terminate this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion on ten (10) days’ advance notice, provided, however, that if ATSI terminates the Agreement other than for Default prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, it shall pay GS a lump sum of $5500.00 times the number of partial and full calendar months remaining until the expiration of the Initial Term; and, provided, that the Agreement will remain in effect for the remaining term of any written addendum executed pursuant to this Agreement as provided in Section 2.
(c) A party shall be in “Default” if that party fails to perform its material obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within fourteen (14) days of a written notice describing the breach in reasonable detail, or (ii) that party admits insolvency, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, files for bankruptcy or similar protection, is unable to pay debts as they become due, has a trustee or receiver appointed over all or a substantial portion of its assets, or enters into an agreement for the extension or readjustment of all or substantially all of its obligations. Termination shall be effective as of the date stated in a written notice delivered by the terminating party. Upon termination, each party shall return the other party’s Confidential Information.
4. Limitation of Damages. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND, OR FOR DAMAGES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY THE USE OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. The parties agree that the aggregate damages of the parties in connection with any claims or causes of action arising under or in connection with this Agreement will be limited as follows:
(a) for ATSI’s failure to perform the Prepaid Services: $50,000.00.
(b) All other damages: amounts due and unpaid pursuant to this Agreement.
5. Confidentiality. The following information is “Confidential Information”: (a) any information related to a party’s assets, liabilities, financial results, business strategies, plans or operations, (b) proprietary information, technology or know-how of either party; and (c) either party’s customers, vendors, contractors, suppliers and personnel; but excluding any information which is or becomes generally available to the public other than through breach of this Agreement, or violation of law or other agreement. Each
2
party agrees not to disclose the other’s Confidential Information to any third party except to its agents and representatives who need to know the information to represent or advise it with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, or to use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than its performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that a party will not be liable for disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information if it is required by law or regulation to be disclosed, and the disclosing party gives advance written notice of the disclosure to the other party at the earliest possible time and limits the disclosure to fewest number of people practicable. Each party agrees to use at least a reasonable degree of care to protect the other party’s Confidential Information.
6. Notices. Notices under this Agreement must be in writing and may be given (i) by hand deliver or (ii) by facsimile followed by a copy delivered by 1st Class U.S. Mail to the following address, or other address provided by three days’ advance notice given in accordance with this section:
