1. SCOPE. From time to time, Company may request that XXX provide, and XXX may agree to provide, certain
professional services described in one or more Statements of Work (each, a “Statement of Work” or
“SOW”), which when executed by the parties hereto, will be attached hereto and incorporated herein. To
the extent that the terms of any SOW conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the SOW shall
control, but solely with respect to the services described in such SOW.

2. SERVICES; COMPENSATION. XXX will provide Company the customer experience management systems and
services set forth in the applicable SOW (collectively, the “Services”). Company shall timely provide or
otherwise make available to XXX all data, people, equipment and approvals (including those specified in

as expressly permitted by this Agreement. Provider consents to the disclosure of its Confidential Information to the
Recipient’s employees who have a need to know such information in order to enable Recipient to perform its
obligations under this Agreement. Nothing received by either party shall be considered to be Confidential
Information if it: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of Recipient, (ii) was in
Recipient’s possession or known by Recipient prior to receipt from Provider, (iii) was rightfully disclosed to
Recipient by a third party, or (iv) was independently developed by Recipient without use of any Confidential

diligent efforts to limit disclosure and to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order and allows the Provider to
participate in the proceeding.

reason, or upon Provider’s written request therefor, Recipient shall promptly return or destroy all originals of all
Confidential Information (and all copies thereof in the Recipient’s possession or control) originally disclosed to
