Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into a Services Agreement (Agreement) with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (RR Donnelley).
This Agreement supersedes and replaces the Services Agreement between the Company and RR Donnelley entered into on February 7, 2006.
The Agreement
memorializes a three-year commitment in which the parties agree to jointly offer public companies a compliance solution for financial reporting in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). In accordance with the Agreement, RR
Donnelley agrees not to offer a competitive XBRL translation service to its customers and the Company agrees not to partner with certain of RR Donnelleys competitors to provide XBRL translation services for certain Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) filings. As consideration for the Agreement, RR Donnelley agrees to pay the Company annual fixed fees to scale and integrate the joint translation offering and maintain the Companys exclusive service, as well as
variable fees to be paid on a per-filing basis. RR Donnelley has also agreed to provide the Company with a minimum number of filings to translate each year during the term of the Agreement. The agreement defines a per-filing fee schedule and a model
for reviewing these fees annually or periodically based on market conditions. In addition, the Company has agreed to perform its duties according to a specific Service Level Agreement which is incorporated by reference to and made part of the
Agreement.
The Agreement contains standard confidentiality, non-solicitation and termination provisions as well as provisions relating (i) to
termination of the Agreement within sixty (60) days after the effective date in the event the SEC mandate proposed on May 14, 2008 is rescinded and (ii) to modification of the Agreement in the event that the SEC mandate is not
effectuated as originally proposed. The Company has also agreed to pay RR Donnelley a fee that is less than the annual fixed fees described above in the event the Agreement is terminated prior to its full three year term under certain circumstances.
The Company and RR Donnelley issued a joint press release on October 1, 2008 announcing the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99 and
incorporated herein by reference.
