Any payment not actually received by NACKE MEDIA within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date shall incur a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment due.

Additionally any installment not received by NACKE MEDIA within said fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the rate of Eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum, based on a 360-day year, and the actual number of days elapsed.

Expenses may be, but need not be, advanced by NACKE MEDIA, and NACKE MEDIA reserves the right to demand payment of same prior to incurring such expenses. Where expenses are advanced by NACKE MEDIA, such will be shown on the regular billing statement and will be due and payable in the same manner as Fees for Service.

5. Confidentiality Covenant of Nacke Media, LLC. NACKE MEDIA acknowledges that this Confidentiality Covenant is a material inducement to CLIENT to enter into this Agreement. NACKE MEDIA further acknowledges that its relationship with CLIENT may place it in a position of confidence, trust, and responsibility with information, employees, customers, clients, and suppliers of CLIENT. NACKE MEDIA further acknowledges that, because of its relationship with CLIENT, it will gain access to certain proprietary and confidential information of CLIENT and its customers and clients including, but not limited to, contemplated new products and services, marketing campaigns and strategies, sales projections, financial information, and specialized computer and record-keeping systems of CLIENT. NACKE MEDIA agrees to keep such information confidential and to not disclose such information for a period of one (1) year after the effective date of this Agreement other than in performing services expressly authorized in writing by CLIENT or as such disclosure may be reasonably necessary to fulfill NACKE MEDIA’s obligations to CLIENT under this Agreement or as such disclosure may be reasonably necessary to be disclosed to NACKE MEDIA’s attorney(s) and accountant(s) or by court order or operation of law.

6. Termination. Neither party hereto shall have the right to unilaterally terminate this Agreement except for good cause. Where termination for cause is warranted, the terminating party shall terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the other party of its intention to so terminate. Termination shall be effective as of 5:00 pm on the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of said notice.

In the event that NACKE MEDIA or CLIENT should exercise its right to terminate, then all fees for service due to NACKE MEDIA shall be calculated through effective date of termination, all incurred expenses shall be added thereto, all credits for payments received shall be applied, and the total outstanding amounts shall be immediately due and payable to NACKE MEDIA. Further, NACKE MEDIA shall be released from any and all further liability and obligation under this Agreement.

In the event a Force Majeure Event occurs and continues uninterrupted for a period in excess thirty (30) consecutive days, NACKE MEDIA shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days written notice to CLIENT. In the event this Agreement is terminated under this provision, then all fees for service due to NACKE MEDIA shall be calculated through effective date of termination, all incurred expenses shall be added thereto, all credits for payments received shall be applied, and the total outstanding amounts shall be immediately due and payable to NACKE MEDIA.

If, for any reason, NACKE MEDIA fails to perform, or otherwise breaches or defaults on, any of the obligations required to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement, and such failure is not expressly excused herein or the result of a prior default or breach by CLIENT, then CLIENT shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no right to terminate shall arise in CLIENT unless and until CLIENT first provides NACKE MEDIA with written notice of its failure to perform and NACKE MEDIA fails to cure such breach or default within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. In the event the breach or default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and NACKE MEDIA is diligently working to cure such breach or default, the said cure period shall automatically be extended for a reasonable amount of time to permit NACKE MEDIA to cure said breach or default. If NACKE MEDIA fails to cure such breach or default, CLIENT’s sole remedy shall be to immediately terminate this Agreement in the same manner and upon the same terms as a termination for good cause set forth hereinabove.
