Each Project will be set forth on either the CyEx service order form, or Client’s purchase Order or control document form, as mutually agreed to by the Parties (collectively a “Service Order Form”). Each Service Order Form shall, as applicable, contain: (i) the specific Service(s) being delivered by CyEx; (ii) the entity responsible for paying for the Services (“Payee”); (iii) the price for each Service being delivered by CyEx and the payment schedule; (iv) the length of the service term; (v) the schedule for delivery of the required Services; and (vi) such additional information as the parties may wish to include. Each Service Order Form, when executed by an authorized representative of both parties hereto, shall constitute a separate agreement and, except for provisions herein that such applicable Service Order Form expressly excludes or modifies, the applicable Service Order Form shall incorporate therein all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Service Order Form the terms and conditions of such Service Order Form shall govern. No Services will be provided by CyEx hereunder unless and until the Parties have duly executed in full an applicable Service Order Form in connection herewith, and any such Services will only be provided by CyEx through the applicable Service Term end date set forth under the applicable Service Order Form then in effect.

The number of Codes CyEx is obligated to provide to Client shall not exceed the number of Codes specified in the applicable Service Order Form.
