7. Ownership of Deliverables.

7.1 Ownership of Deliverables; Assignment of Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all Deliverables shall be the property of Appirio and shall be deemed to be a “work made for hire” (as defined in Section 101 of Title 17 of the United States Code). To the extent any Deliverable is (for any reason whatsoever) determined not to be “work made for hire,” Contractor hereby irrevocably and exclusively assigns, transfers and conveys to Appirio all right, title and interest (including all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and any other intellectual property right) in and to the Deliverable (without regard to whether any particular Deliverable has been accepted by Appirio). The “work made for hire” designation and assignments in this Section 7.1 shall not apply to any Pre- Existing Intellectual Property. Each reference to a “Deliverable” in this Section 7 includes such Deliverable and all related know- how, techniques, inventions, discoveries, improvements, specifications, designs, methods, devices, systems, reports, studies, computer software (in object or source code), programming and other documentation, flow charts, diagrams and all other information or tangible material of any nature whatsoever (in medium and in any stage of development or completion) made or created by Contractor (including any of its employees, contractors, agents and subcontractors) in connection with this Agreement or the applicable SOW.

7.2 Waiver of Rights. If Contractor has any rights to the Deliverable that cannot be assigned to Appirio, Contractor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably:

(a) waives the enforcement of such rights (including any moral rights, such as the right to be named as author, the right to modify, the right to prevent mutilation and the right to prevent commercial exploitation);

(b) waives and quitclaims to Appirio any and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Appirio, its subsidiaries, and its licensees (through multiple tiers) with respect to such rights, and agrees, at Appirio’s request and expense, to consent to and join in any action to enforce such rights; and grants to Appirio during the term of such rights, an exclusive (even as to Contractor), irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid and royalty-free license, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, under and to all of such rights to Deliverable.

7.3 Execution of Documents; Assistance. Contractor will sign any necessary documents and will otherwise assist Appirio, at Appirio’s expense, in obtaining patents, mask work registrations, copyright registrations and otherwise protecting Appirio’s ownership of such Deliverable and any and all related inventions and works of authorships in any country.

7.4 Attorney-in-Fact. In the event that Appirio is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure Contractor’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in this Section 7, Contractor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Appirio and its duly authorized officers and agents as Contractor’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on its behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 7 with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Contractor.

7.5 Pre-Existing Intellectual Property.

(a) Pre-Approval. Contractor shall not use any Pre-Existing Intellectual Property in connection with this Agreement unless Contractor (i) has specifically identified such Pre-Existing Intellectual Property in the applicable SOW and (ii) has the right to use such Pre-Existing Intellectual Property for Appirio (and Appirio’s licensees’) benefit and to issue the licenses set forth in this section.

(b) License. If Contractor incorporates any Pre-Existing Intellectual Property into a Deliverable or furnishes any Pre- Existing Intellectual Property in conjunction with a Deliverable, Contractor hereby grants Appirio a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual license to: (i) make, have made, sell, use, execute, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, perform, distribute, make derivative works of, import, and disclose the Pre-Existing Intellectual Property or products and services using the Pre-Existing Intellectual Property in conjunction with the use of the Deliverable and (ii) authorize or sublicense others from time to time to do any or all of the foregoing.

8. Payment.

In exchange for Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement, Appirio shall pay Contractor the fees set forth in the applicable SOW. All payments are due in U.S. Dollars within the later of 60 days of Appirio’s receipt of an undisputed invoice, and, if applicable (in cases where Contractor is performing Services on behalf of an Appirio customer), 10 days of receipt of payment of such Services from Appirio’s customer. Contractor shall not invoice Appirio until Appirio’s acceptance of the Services or Deliverables (as applicable) in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in the applicable SOW. Appirio shall not reimburse Contractor for any expenses unless such expenses are specified in the applicable SOW. When specified in the applicable SOW, Appirio will pay actual and reasonable, pre- approved travel and related expenses incurred by Contractor in performing the Services, but only in accordance with Appirio’s then-current travel and expense policies. Contractor acknowledges that this Section 8 sets forth the only compensation which Contractor is entitled to receive in exchange for the Services and that Contractor shall not be entitled to any other payments, reimbursements, royalties or consideration of any kind.

Neither Contractor nor any of Contractor’s employees or subcontractors will be eligible for any benefits (including, without limitation, stock options, health insurance or retirement benefits) normally provided by Appirio to its employees. Contractor shall perform services on behalf of Appirio in the capacity of independent contractor, and not as an employee, partner, agent or joint venture partner.
