The purpose of this Agreement is to provide a framework for the delivery of Services that meet the expectations of Welocalize and its Customer Companies and to provide the conditions which shall govern both Welocalize and the Supplier relations and the supply of Services.
This Agreement has an effective date of Oct. 20th, 2007 ("Effective Date"). This Agreement commences on the Effective Date for an initial period of one year and shall automatically renew on each anniversary of the Effective Date for successive one-year periods, unless either party gives the other party written notice of its intent not to renew, at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.
In consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
2. STATEMENT OF WORK
2.1. Statement of Work Definition
Welocalize may engage the Supplier to perform Services as described in a Statement of Work ("SOW"). Failing this, no order shall be deemed to have been placed. A Statement of Work can be represented by a purchase order, a written message or a work assignment entry in the Welocalize work assignment system. Modifications in an SOW must always be in writing.
2.2. Order Acceptance
Welocalize shall not send work to the Supplier without its prior approval.
Any Order not refused in writing by the Supplier within 24 hours of receipt shall be deemed to have been accepted and the Supplier shall be bound to perform the Services in accordance with such Order.
If the Supplier does not accept the Order, all physical materials supplied by Welocalize shall be returned to Welocalize within 24 hours following the non-acceptance. Failing this, Welocalize reserves the right to claim damages and interest for any loss suffered.
2.3. Change of Scope
Welocalize may at any time modify or add to the scope of the Services agreed to between the parties upon written notice to the Supplier specifying the desired modifications or additions to the same degree of specificity as in the original specifications. The Supplier must confirm receipt of this information and agrees that modifications or additions which are not considered by both parties to be substantial will be performed by the Supplier at no additional cost. If there are substantial modifications, the Supplier will submit to Welocalize an estimate of the time and cost to effect such modification or addition ("Estimate") within 24 hours of notification by Welocalize.
The parties must agree to the Estimate in writing, prior to either party being bound to its terms. The performance of any modified or augmented Services by the Supplier shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.4. Project Cancellation
If the project is cancelled, Welocalize will promptly notify the Supplier. The Supplier may invoice Welocalize solely for the amount of work that has been approved and completed when the written cancellation was received. A written cancellation may reach the Supplier via post, overnight delivery service, fax or electronic mail.
3. DELIVERY
3.1. Delivery Expectations
Delivery shall take place in the way indicated in the Statement of Work.
Delivery at or before the date and time indicated in the Statement of Work is critical.

The Supplier shall keep a full electronic and up-to-date backup copy of all project files for the duration of the project and thereafter until acceptance of the delivery by Welocalize.
When requested by Welocalize, the Supplier shall promptly deliver glossaries, translation memories or any other additional material produced in direct relation to the execution of the Statements of Work to Welocalize.
The Supplier is responsible for the cost of delivering work to Welocalize.
4. USE AND OWNERSHIP OF PROJECT-RELATED MATERIALS
The Supplier shall not make use of any information disclosed to, produced by or accessed by the Supplier in connection with this Agreement for any purpose other than to supply Services.

Any material (texts, drawings, models, films, pictures, negatives, magnetic media, terminology or other glossaries, etc.) relating to the SOW shall remain the exclusive property of Welocalize or the Customer Company and shall be returned without delay on completion of the order, together with any software (discs and manuals) provided to the Supplier to carry out the work. The Supplier shall also totally erase any such software from its computer(s), and destroy any copy or copies of the same made by way of backup(s) or otherwise.
White the materials and software are in its possession, the Supplier will ensure that they are not damaged or lost. The Supplier will bear full responsibility in case of any damage or loss of materials or software and will hold Welocalize harmless against any claim resulting from such damage or loss.
4.2. Work Product Materials
Any materials produced by the Supplier in connection with Services ("Work Product") shall be considered "work made for hire" on behalf of Welocalize and, as such, shall be the sole property of Welocalize. The Supplier hereby assigns whatever right, title and interest the Supplier may have or claim to such Work Product property and all rights therein, including, but not limited to, any patent, copyright, right to create derivative works, trademarks, trade secret, mask works, or other intellectual property rights, to Welocalize or its designee. The Supplier waives any "moral rights" it may have in any such Work Product and hereby authorizes Welocalize and/or any person or entity obtaining rights directly or indirectly from Welocalize (to the extent of such rights) to make any desired changes to the Work Product or any part thereof, to combine or use the Work Product with any other goods, products, materials, services or software in any manner desired, and to withhold the Supplier's identity as an author in connection with any distribution or use of the Work Product in any manner thereof, either alone or in combination with other goods, products, materials, services or software. In the event Welocalize is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the Supplier's signature on any letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection relating to Work Product, Supplier hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Welocalize and its duly authorized officers and agents as its agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in its behalf and stead to execute and file any such application or applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Supplier.
4.3. Limited License
Welocalize may provide the Supplier with computer software and related documentation ("Licensed Programs") which are proprietary to Welocalize or to a Customer Company. If such Licensed Programs are so provided, the Supplier acknowledges that they are licensed to the Supplier on a royalty-free, revocable, non-transferable and non-exclusive basis for the sole purpose of facilitating the provision of Services by Welocalize under this Agreement, and the Licensed Programs may not be transferred, distributed, conveyed or disclosed in any manner, in whole or in part, to any third party. This limited license to the Licensed Programs shall expire upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Upon such termination or expiration, the Supplier shall return the Licensed Programs and any copies thereof, to Welocalize and certify to Welocalize that it has de-installed the Licensed Programs. The Supplier agrees to establish and maintain appropriate security measures and safeguards against the destruction, loss, or alteration, and the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, of any Licensed Programs in its possession during the term of this Agreement. ALL LICENSED PROGRAMS PROVIDED TO THE PARTNER ARE PROVIDED ON AN 'AS IS' BASIS. WELOCALIZE MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH LICENSED PROGRAMS, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

| • | According to application used: typically (but not always), formatting in Word and FrameMaker is standard DTP; formatting in Quark Xpress, InDesign, PageMaker or Interleaf is complex DTP. |
| • | According to tasks: typically, standard DTP applies when formatting from the source files has been preserved but needs to be tidied up; complex DTP applies when formatting is done from scratch. |
* For some resources or accounts, page rates may be negotiated to include these activities. This only applies if stated explicitly. For example, some DTP resources have specific page rates for PostScript and/or PDF creation, whereas others may include this in the DTP page rates.
SCHEDULE B - LANGUAGE QUALITY CRITERIA |
Welocalize reserves the right to request a written copy of the Supplier's Quality Assurance Process.
The standard quality evaluation applied on translation work, called Language Quality Assessment (LQA), consists of an objective error count based on a sample of the total work. The LQA process currently applies a number of error criteria, severity levels and metrics. As quality requirements evolve and new quality methodologies are developed, Welocalize reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to determine which level of quality assessment and which error threshold will be applied to the work delivered by the Supplier.
The definitions of the error categories are:
• Accuracy - Errors of the Accuracy category indicate translation errors. They are normally detected by comparing the source and target texts.
• Language - Errors of the Language category indicate language errors. Usually, these are deviations from generally accepted language conventions such as punctuation, spelling, or grammar.
• Terminology - Errors of the Terminology category indicate compliance errors. Usually, these are deviations from an approved translation glossary or industry-specific term usage.
• Style - Errors of the Style category indicate compliance errors or poor readability of the target language due to register and tone. Usually, these are deviations from an approved style guide or from the general style required by the text.
• Country - - Errors of the Country category indicate localization errors, i.e. the translation is not appropriate for the target culture or market or does not conform to the localization standards in use in the target country.
• Functional - Errors of the Functional category usually indicate technical, non-language-related errors as a direct result of the translation process such as deletion or misplacement of tags, links or codes.
The definitions of error severity levels are:
• Major errors - Major errors are blatant and severe errors that jeopardize, invert or distort the meaning of a translation. Major errors are severe failures in accuracy, compliance, or language. Examples include:
| • | Any statement that can be potentially offensive |
| • | Errors that endanger the integrity of data or the health/safety of users |
| • | Errors that modify or misrepresent the functionality of the device or product |
| • | Errors that clearly show that the client's and/or Welocalize's instructions haven't been followed |
| • | Errors that appear in a High Visibility Portion and/or is numerously repeated |
| • | Grammar or syntax errors that are gross violations of generally accepted language conventions |
• Minor errors - Minor errors are all errors that do not fall in the major error category as defined above or are merely preferential changes. Examples include:
| • | Accuracy errors that result in a slight change in meaning |
| • | Small errors that would not confuse or mislead a user but could be noticed |
| • | Formatting errors not resulting in a loss of meaning, e.g. wrong use of bold or italics |
| • | Wrong use of punctuation or capitalization not resulting in a loss of meaning |
| • | Generic error to indicate generally inadequate style (e.g. literal translation, "stilted" style, etc.) |
| • | Grammar or syntax errors that are minor violations of generally accepted language conventions |
| • | Typos and misspellings that do not result in a loss of meaning |
As the LQA process is based on a sample of the translation, it is possible that the LQA result is not representative of the overall quality of the translation. Therefore even if an LQA result or any other QA check meets expectations, it cannot automatically be considered as an acceptance of the work by Welocalize.
SCHEDULE C - SCALE OF PENALTIES |
| Late Delivery Penalties | |
| 12-24 Hour Delivery Delay | 5% reduction in total PO value |
| 25-48 Hour Delivery Delay | 10% reduction in total PO value |
| 49-72 Hour Delivery Delay | 15% reduction in total PO value |
| 73 Hours Delivery Delay or More | Welocalize reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to re-assign the work to another Supplier and void the PO. |
| Service Quality Penalties | |
| Scenario One | |
