Licensee and Modavox desire to work together to promote Modavox’s platform-based technology solutions and services (“Modavox Services”) to Designated Customers, as defined below, through the specific work and involvement of the Licensee Designated Contact, as defined below.  This arrangement will be handled as follows:
 
A.
Modavox Referrals.  Licensee will work with Modavox, through the Licensee Designated Contact(s), to introduce and sell the Modavox Services to client targets which are specifically pre-approved in writing by Modavox (“Designated Customers”).  Schedule A-1 hereto identifies the Licensee Designated Contact(s) and contains a list of Designated Customers and the effective date of each such designation.  Schedule A-1 may be amended from time to time to add new Designated Customers or to modify the Licensee Designated Contact, upon the written consent of both parties (which consent may be provided by email from each consenting party).  Only the Designated Customer(s) and Licensee Designated Contact(s) listed in Schedule A-1 hereto, as amended in writing from time to time, will be covered by the terms of this Agreement.

Modavox and Licensee, through the active involvement of the Licensee Designated Contact(s), will participate jointly and collaboratively in arranging and participating in meetings with Designated Customers to promote the Modavox Services.  If a Designated Customer agrees to implement the Modavox Services, Modavox will contract independently with the Designated Customer and Modavox will have complete discretion in setting the terms and conditions of service.
 
After designation of a client target as a “Designated Customer,” Modavox will not pursue the Designated Customer to sell the Modavox Services outside the scope of this Agreement for a period of six (6) months after the client target’s designation as a “Designated Customer” (or, if the Designated Customer enters into a production services agreement with Modavox, at any time before Modavox payment obligations to Licensee are complete as described in (B) below).  If the Designated Customer does not enter into a production services agreement to purchase the Modavox Service within six (6) months, or a greater period if extended by the parties in writing, or if the Licensee Designated Contact ceases to actively market and sell the Modavox Service as contemplated herein, then the Designated Customer and will no longer be covered by the terms of this Agreement and the parties will have no future rights or responsibilities with respect to marketing or selling the Modavox Services to that Designated Customer.
 
B.
Licensee Referral Fee.  As compensation for the efforts of the Licensee Designated Contact(s) in helping Modavox enter into production level service agreements with Designated Customers, Licensee will receive a commission (the “Licensee Fee”) based on the Gross Revenue received by Modavox for any production services agreement entered into within the six-month period described above (including any written extension thereto) between Modavox and the Designated Customer (the “Designated Customer Agreement”).  The Licensee Fee will equal: (i) twenty percent (20%) of the Gross Revenue received by Modavox under a Designated Customer Agreement with respect to the first two (2) years of the Designated Customer Agreement; and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the Gross Revenue received by Modavox under a Designated Customer Agreement with respect to the third through fifth years of the Designated Customer Agreement.  Modavox will pay the Licensee Fee on a quarterly basis in arrears based upon the Gross Revenue received by Modavox during that quarter.
