1.5           Each Provider shall provide the Services with the same degree of skill, attention and care as it exercises in performing the same or similar services for itself.

In any such situation, the Provider shall provide notice to the Recipient of the establishment of such priorities at the earliest practicable time.
 
1.10         The Recipient shall, in a timely manner, take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to enable or assist the Provider in the Provider’s provision of Services, including providing necessary information and specific written authorizations and consents, and the Provider shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent that the Recipient’s failure to take any such action renders performance by the Provider of such obligations unlawful or impracticable.

2.1           As consideration for the provision of the Services, the Recipient shall, for each Service performed, pay the Provider the Applicable Fee for such Service set forth in Annex A or Annex B, as the case may be.

Re: Secondment To WorldGate Service, Inc.
 
Dear [Secondee Name]:
 
This letter confirms the basis upon which, while still employed by [identify relevant ACN Entity] (“ACN”), you will be seconded (the “Secondment”) to WorldGate Service, Inc. (“WorldGate”).
 
1.           During the Secondment, while you will remain an ACN employee and will not be a WorldGate employee, your employment remains at will, meaning you or ACN can terminate your employment at any time, for any reason or for no reason, and you will be supervised and directed, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by WorldGate.  You will work at WorldGate’s premises, unless otherwise jointly notified to you by WorldGate and ACN.  Additionally, the Secondment is at will, and either WorldGate or ACN can terminate it at any time.  ACN or WorldGate will notify you if and when your Secondment is terminated.  If during your Secondment you have any questions regarding your employment by ACN or the terms of the Secondment, you can contact ACN’s Vice President of Human Resources for assistance.
 
2.           ACN will continue to provide and determine your salary, benefits and other compensation on the same basis ACN has done to date.
 
3.           During the Secondment, you shall in no event represent that you are acting on behalf of ACN or have any authority to do so, nor shall you represent that you are in any respect controlled by ACN.
 
4.           During the Secondment you will report to the person(s) designated by WorldGate and your duties will be those which WorldGate reasonably requests you to perform.
 
5.           During the Secondment you will comply with all (a) internal policies, rules, regulations, and procedures and employee handbooks of both ACN and WorldGate (including, without limitation and as applicable, with respect to confidentiality, conflicts of interest, code of ethics, intellectual property and invention assignment, insider trading, sexual harassment and substance abuse) as the same may be amended from time to time and provided to you, and (b) applicable state, local and federal laws whether now existing or hereafter adopted applicable to the business of WorldGate.  You agree to execute and deliver to WorldGate, upon its request, a countersigned copy of any internal WorldGate policy, rule, regulation or procedure that is generally applicable to similarly situated employees of WorldGate.  In the event you believe that there is a conflict between the internal policies, procedures or employee handbooks of ACN and WorldGate, you should promptly raise such concerns with your WorldGate supervisor.

 
 

 
 
6.           You will devote your full time and attention to your Secondment duties unless otherwise agreed by ACN and WorldGate and jointly notified to you.  You agree to use reasonable skill and care in carrying out your duties for WorldGate and you will act at all times in the best interests of WorldGate (including fulfilling any duty of loyalty to WorldGate that you would have if WorldGate were your employer).  In the event you believe you have an actual or potential conflict of interest at any time between the interests of WorldGate and the interests of ACN, you should promptly raise such concerns with your WorldGate supervisor.  Any such actual or potential conflict of interest should be resolved in favor of WorldGate during your Secondment.
 
7.           The Secondment will terminate automatically if your employment with ACN ends for any reason or if you are no longer lawfully entitled to work in the United States.
 
8.           You acknowledge that the Secondment may result in your exposure and access to confidential and proprietary information of WorldGate and its subsidiaries, parent company, customers, suppliers and other third parties, including, but not limited to, accounting systems, processes, computer software, customer and supplier lists, due diligence files, financial information, business strategies and personal information about WorldGate, its subsidiaries and parent company and their respective employees, to which information you may not have had access to prior to the Secondment to WorldGate and which information is of significant value to WorldGate and its subsidiaries, parent company, customers, suppliers and other third parties.  You agree that you shall not, other than on WorldGate’s behalf, at any time during your Secondment to WorldGate and thereafter, make available, divulge, disclose, or communicate in any manner whatsoever to anyone including, but not limited to, any person, firm, corporation, investor, member of the media, or entity, including without limitation ACN, any such confidential or proprietary information, or use any such confidential or proprietary information for any purpose other than on WorldGate’s behalf, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by a duly authorized officer of WorldGate, required by law or court order, or such confidential or proprietary information has become publicly available other than by reason of a breach by you of such agreement, or of another individual’s or entity’s violation of an obligation not to disclose such information.  Should you be required by law or court order to disclose such confidential or proprietary information, you agree to give WorldGate such notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances so as to allow WorldGate to challenge such application of the law or court order, or otherwise to attempt to limit the scope of such disclosure.  This paragraph shall apply to all confidential and proprietary information of WorldGate and its subsidiaries, parent company, customers, suppliers and other third parties, regardless of when such information is or was disclosed to you.  You acknowledge that WorldGate shall have the right to enforce your agreements under this paragraph.  You further acknowledge that a breach of this paragraph would cause a loss to WorldGate for which it could not reasonably or adequately be compensated by damages in an action at law, that remedies other than injunctive relief could not fully compensate WorldGate for a breach of this paragraph, and that, accordingly, WorldGate shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any breach or continuing breaches of this paragraph.  It is the your intention and the intention of WorldGate that if, in any action before any court empowered to enforce your agreements in this paragraph, any term, restriction, covenant, or promise is found to be unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant, or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court.
