IA706.08 (10/25/13)5

Page 8: TRL - L3 Representative Agreement SODTEC NEW DRAFT 0312

International Representative Agreement

United Kingdom Government, Company, either as a prime contractor or a subcontractor, agrees to pay to Representative a commission as set forth in Appendix B, attached hereto, on the sale of the Products and Services for use in the Territory, provided that Representative has fulfilled its Representative Services as set forth in Article 1 above in connection with such sale.

For purposes of determining whether Representative is entitled to a commission, the determination whether Representative has fulfilled its Representative Services in connection with such sale shall be within the sole judgment and discretion of Company which shall not be exercised in an unreasonable manner. This clause should be clear to state that the Company shall pay the Representative its commission within a specified period in accordance to the stipulation on Appendix B on payments received by the Company from the contracted client in the territory, as stipulated in Article 3 of Appendix A. Further, the Company shall also pay the proportionate percentage amount, as per the applicable commission stipulated on Annex B, to the Representative on any and all partial amounts or payments made by the contracted client from the Philippines to the Company.

B. Said commission will be paid in Pound Sterling and, subject to the provisions of Articles 4C and 4D below, each such commission payment shall be based on the Net Sales Price (as defined in Appendix B) on payments received from customer and shall be paid within sixty (60) days of receipt and acceptance by Company (as specified in Appendix B) of a proper original invoice containing the certification in Appendix B and supporting documents. If Company is paid in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, Company reserves the right to pay Representative in such currency. As with all of our principal, commissions are usually paid not more than 30 days from receipt and confirmation of sales payment. Thus, we would like to request for a shorter processing period of not more than 30 days as well. Additionally, may we respectfully request to omit the highlighted words “and acceptance” since the quality and content requirement of the original Representative invoice to be complied with is already stated in this provision.

C. It is further understood that said commission shall not be paid, or if already paid shall be refunded to Company by Representative, if:

(I) any applicable governmental law, regulation or administrative requirement prohibits or makes improper the payment of said commission; or

(II) any customer with the appropriate authority officially prohibits the payment of said commission in writing; or ---Although payment of commission in our country to Representatives is legal, for our enlightenment, may we know of instances that will legally allow a customer to prohibit payment of commission to a representative? And why is this option given to a customer who is not privy to this contract?

(III) any action has been taken by Representative in violation of the warranties as set forth in Article 5 hereof.

D. It is also understood that when any applicable governmental law, regulation or administrative requirement, or any customer necessitates the payment of a reduced commission to Representative, only such reduced payment will be made. May we suggest to remove the word “…or any customer” as this may be subjectively abused and unfair to the Representative. If the necessity to reduce the commission is due to Lawful prohibitions or provisions that will merit such action then please qualify it to mean that.

Same as C (II)
brian, 01/23/15,
Customer is a third party and not privy to the contract, option to prohibit payment should not be given to the customer.
brian, 01/23/15,
There must be a reasonable standard, it should not be dependent upon the sole judgment and discretion of Company.

International Representative Agreement

E. It is understood that if an order or sales contract should be rescinded, revoked or repudiated by a customer for reasons beyond Company’s control or by Company for a customer breach of contract, or by either party for force majeure causes, or Company’s contract with the customer becomes invalid or inoperative due to any governmental regulation, Representative shall not be entitled to a commission with respect to such order or contract, except pro rata to the extent of any amount Company may have previously received and to which the customer asserts no claim for refund. Agree.

F. Company will reimburse Representative for extraordinary expenses (such as a trip to Company’s facilities in United Kingdom at the request of Company), provided that Representative has obtained the written approval of Company prior to incurring any such expenditures and such expenditures are supported by receipts satisfactory to Company.

May we revise the highlighted section to, “…by receipts, as issued and acceptable in the country where expenditures were made, and or other secondary disbursement documents satisfactory to Company.

G. Any taxes, United Kingdom or non-United Kingdom attributable to payments made to Representative pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by Representative. Agree on this, however, proof of tax payment under the name of the Representative shall be secured by the Company and provided to the Representative so it can claim such tax deduction in its income filing with the Philippine’s Bureau of Internal Revenue (Tax Authority) relative to the UK/PHILIPPINES DOUBLE TAXATION CONVENTION.

12. TERMINATION

A. This Agreement may be terminated without cause by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice, in which case no payment will be made by Company to Representative for any activities or expenses incurred after the effective date of the termination. We prefer that the highlighted portion be revised to state, “…by both parties…” for reason that any significant effort by Representative may be easily disregarded at anytime with just a simple 30-day notice and without need of cause.

B. This Agreement may be terminated for cause at any time without prior notice by either party. Grounds for termination for cause include but are not limited to: May we request that there be a written notice of termination, in a remote possibility that the below are committed, in order for the Representative to also promptly cease from representing the Company in such an unfortunate case.

(I) A party's insolvency or bankruptcy;

(II) Failure to comply with the warranties set forth in Article 5 hereof;

(III) Failure to perform the Representative Services specified in Article 1 hereof;

D. In the event of termination of this Agreement with or without cause, the parties hereto shall have no further duties, obligations or liabilities to each other, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.

13. FULL DISCLOSURE

Subject to laws and regulations of England and Wales, Representative agrees that full disclosure of the existence and terms of this Agreement, including the compensation provisions, may be made at any time and for any reason to whomever Company determines has a legitimate need to know such terms, including, without limitation, U. S. and Territory government organizations. Representative shall disclose to all parties with whom it deals on behalf of Company that Representative has been retained by Company to advise it in the marketing and sale of its Products and Services. Representative shall never negotiate terms and prices with a customer, accept notices, submit invoices to the customer under its own signature on behalf of Company, or take any other actions that may obligate Company to third parties, or cause Company to be deemed doing business in the Territory, or to have created a permanent establishment in the Territory, except as previously approved in writing by Company.

14. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

Representative is and shall be considered for all purposes to be an independent contractor in relation to Company under this Agreement. This Agreement does not make either party the agent or legal representative of the other for any purpose or grant any right or authority to assume or create, directly or indirectly, any obligation or responsibility, expressed or implied, on behalf or in the name of the other, or to bind the other in any manner. Agree!

15. RIGHT OF SET-OFF

Company shall be entitled at all times to set-off any amount owing or damages due at any time from Representative to Company against any amount payable at any time by Company to Representative in connection with this Agreement. Agree!

16. CHOICE OF LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by, subject to, and interpreted according to the laws of England and Wales without regard to its conflict of law rules. Agree!

17. RECORDS

Representative agrees that Company or any of Company’s duly authorized representatives shall, during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years after final payment has been made under this Agreement, have access to and the right to inspect and examine during business hours any relevant books, documents, papers, and records of Representative involving transactions related to this Agreement. Agree!

18. COOPERATION

In the event a dispute arises between Company on the one hand and a customer or any other person on the other concerning any of the Products and Services covered by this Agreement, Representative agrees to provide to Company any assistance that may be required including, but not limited to, the provision of such documents and testimony as may be reasonably requested by Company. Such obligation shall continue after the expiration or termination of this agreement. Although we are very much willing to extend our assistance as sought for in this article, it is, however, reasonable that a period of coverage be stated in the last sentence of this provision. Perhaps, mirroring in the said part of this provision the warranty period of the products and services contracted or consummated with customers is fairly reasonable.

19. NON-WAIVER OF BREACH

The failure by a party to this Agreement to assert any or all of its rights upon any breach of this Agreement by the other shall not be deemed a waiver of such rights either with respect to such breach or any subsequent breach, nor shall any waiver be implied from the acceptance of any payment or service. No written waiver of any right shall extend to or affect any other right such party may possess, nor shall such written waiver extend to any subsequent similar or dissimilar breach. Agree!

If any provision of this Agreement, or the applicability of such provision, shall be held illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement or the application of such provision shall not be affected thereby. Agree!
