INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT

THIS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made between Lionbridge

Global Sourcing Solutions, Inc., with a business address 1050 Winter Street, Suite 2300, Waltham
MA 02451, its successors and its subsidiaries worldwide (“Company”) and you the “Contractor” with
an address as supplied to us and stored in your e-recruit candidate records, effective the date and
time you agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement.

In consideration of the mutual obligations specified in this Agreement, and any compensation paid
to Contractor hereunder, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree to the following:

1. SCOPE OF WORK:

Company hereby retains Contractor, and Contractor hereby agrees to perform for Company,
certain consulting services (“Services”) as specified in any statement of work signed by both parties
hereto (“Statement of Work” or “SOW”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement
and such Statement of Work.

Contractor agrees to keep Company updated, promptly upon Company’s request and whenever
requested by Company, of any progress, problems, and/or developments of which Contractor is
aware regarding the Services.

2. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES/EXPENSES:

Following mutual agreement to the Statement of Work, Company shall issue a Purchase Order for
the Services to authorize the performance of Services as specified therein, consistent with the
SOW. Additional Services and related compensation shall be authorized only in a writing signed by
Company's project manager.

In exchange for the full, prompt, and satisfactory performance of all Services to be rendered to
Company under such Statement of Work, Company shall pay Contractor, as full and complete
payment for the Services rendered thereunder, the amount authorized in the applicable Purchase
Order, as such amount may be amended by mutual written agreement of the parties, and any
expenses approved in advance in writing by Company. Following completion of Services authorized
in the applicable Purchase Order and delivery of all related deliverables, Contractor will submit to
Company an invoice in the amount authorized by such Purchase Order. Company shall use all
reasonable effort to pay such invoice at sixty (60) days following receipt of a proper invoice, except
for amounts which are the subject of a good faith dispute. The parties will work together in good
faith to resolve such disputes in a timely manner.

1
Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any other compensation or any benefits from Company.
Except as otherwise required by law, Company shall not withhold any sums from payments made to
Contractor for Social Security or other federal, state or local tax liabilities or contributions, and all
such withholdings, liabilities, and contributions shall be solely Contractor’s responsibility.

3. NONDISCLOSURE AND TRADE SECRETS:

During the term of this Agreement, Contractor may receive and otherwise be exposed to
Company’s or its customers’ confidential and/or proprietary information relating to Company’s or
its customers’ business, strategies, and technologies, whether or not stored in any medium (the
“Confidential Information”). The Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, (i) all
software, documentation, financial, marketing and customer data and other business information,
(ii) any rating procedures, rules and guidelines, systems and processes, ratings hub, and the
underlying methodologies and processes of the foregoing and all related training and
documentation, and (iii) any discoveries, inventions, research and development efforts, know-how
and show-how, and all deliverables, derivatives, improvements, and enhancements to any of the
above which were created or developed by Contractor under this Agreement.

Contractor acknowledges that the Confidential Information is the sole, exclusive and extremely
valuable property of Company or its customers. Accordingly, Contractor agrees to segregate all
Confidential Information from information of other companies and agrees not to reproduce any of
the Confidential Information without Company’s prior written consent, not to use the Confidential
Information except in the performance of this Agreement, and not to divulge all or any part of the
Confidential Information in any form to any third party, either during or after the term of this
Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason including expiration of term, or
upon request, Contractor agrees to cease using and to return to Company all whole and partial
copies and derivatives of Confidential Information, whether in Contractor’s possession or under
Contractor’s direct or indirect control, including any computer access nodes and/or codes.

Contractor shall not disclose or otherwise make available to Company or its customers in any
manner, or use in performance of Services hereunder, any confidential and proprietary information,
materials or documents received by Contractor from third parties. Contractor has not entered into,
and agrees to not enter into, any agreement, either written or oral, in conflict herewith.

Contractor shall not provide URL or search evaluation rating services for the benefit of any other
individual, entity or third party during the time it is performing Services for Company hereunder.

4. OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT:

It is expressly understood and agreed that all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, mask works, moral
rights, and other intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any kind associated with any
ideas, concepts, techniques, inventions, processes, methodology, software (including
modifications) or works of authorship conceived, reduced to practice, devised, developed, produced
or created by Contractor in connection with the Services, or otherwise arising or resulting from the
performance of the Services or which are derived from use of the Confidential Information
(collectively, the “Work Product”) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company or its
designee. Contractor hereby assigns to Company or its designee all right, title and interest in the

2
Work Product, including whatever interest Contractor, its employees, agents or contractors may
have or claim to such Work Product. Without limitation, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
Company and/or any person or entity obtaining rights directly or indirectly from Company (to the
extent of such rights) shall have the right to make any desired changes to the Work Product or any
part thereof, to combine or use the Work Product with any other goods, products, materials,
services or software in any manner desired, and to withhold Contractor’s identity, or that of its
employees, agents or contractors, as authors in connection with any distribution or use of the Work
Product in any manner thereof, either alone or in combination with other goods, products,
materials, services or software. Contractor agrees that it will promptly disclose to Company all such
Work Product upon its discovery, invention or creation by Contractor and, in any event, upon the
request of Company. The obligations of this paragraph shall continue beyond the termination of
this Agreement with respect to all such Work Product reduced to practice, conceived, made or
otherwise resulting from Services rendered under this Agreement, whether or not pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall be binding upon Contractor’s successors and assigns.

Contractor shall, during the term of this Agreement and at any time thereafter, at the request and
cost of Company, promptly sign, execute, make and do all such deeds, documents, acts and things
as Company may reasonably require relating to the Work Product:

(a) to apply for, obtain, register, assign, and/or vest in the name of Company alone (unless Company
otherwise directs) patents, copyrights, mask works, trademarks or other analogous protection in
any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore the same;
and

(b) defend any judicial, opposition or other proceedings in respect of such applications and any
judicial, opposition or other proceedings or petitions or applications for revocation of such patent,
copyright, mask work, trademark or other analogous protection.

Contractor agrees that if Company is unable, because of Contractor’s unavailability, or for any other
reason, to secure Contractor’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any patents,
mask work, copyright or trademark registrations covering the assignments to Company above, then
Contractor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company and its duly authorized officers
and agents as Contractor’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Contractor’s behalf and
stead, to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further
the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright, mask work and trademark registrations thereon
with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Contractor.

Prior to their performance of any services in connection with this Agreement, Contractor shall
obtain the written agreement of its employees and approved contractors to abide by the terms of
this Section 4 to the same degree as such provisions apply to Contractor.

5. WARRANTY: Contractor hereby represents and warrants that:

intellectual property right.

8. TERMINATION:

This Agreement shall have an initial term of one (1) year, unless terminated earlier by mutual
written consent of the parties or for cause, as described below. This Agreement shall automatically
renew for successive one (1) year periods unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at
least 1 day prior to the end of the then-current term. Unless expressly terminated by the
terminating party in accordance with its rights hereunder, termination or expiration of this
Agreement shall not affect any outstanding SOW hereunder, and the terms of this Agreement shall
continue to apply with respect to such SOW until its completion or termination.

Either Company or Contractor may terminate this Agreement and/or the applicable SOW
immediately in the event of a material breach of this Agreement which is not cured within 1 day of
written notice to the other of such breach.

All work related to this contract must be performed through a SOW. A SOW may be cancelled at
anytime by Company for any reason, and Company shall pay for Services performed in accordance
with this Agreement up to the effective date of termination. Company may terminate this
Agreement and any SOW for convenience (i.e., for no reason) upon 1 day prior notice.

9. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS:

Contractor warrants that any materials supplied and work performed under this Agreement comply
with or will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Contractor agrees not to export, directly
or indirectly, any information, data, or other materials to any countries outside the country in which
such information was provided by Company or created by Contractor except in compliance with all
applicable laws or regulations. Nothing in this section releases Contractor from any obligation
stated elsewhere in this Agreement not to disclose such materials.

10. NDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR:

Contractor is an independent contractor, is not an agent or employee of Company and is not

authorized to act on behalf of Company or its customers. While Company is entitled to provide
Contractor with general guidance to assist Contractor in completing the scope of work to
Company’s satisfaction, nevertheless Contractor is ultimately responsible for directing and
controlling the performance of the task comprising the scope of work, in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. Contractor may not use third party contractors to perform
services hereunder without the prior written approval of Company. Such delegation of duties by
Contractor shall in no way relieve Contractor of any of its obligations hereunder. Contractor shall
remain liable for the compliance of such contractors with the provisions of this Agreement.

Contractor shall procure and maintain all forms of insurance necessary and reasonably requested by
Company during the term of this Agreement and any insurance required by any applicable
employee benefit act or any other applicable governmental statute or regulation.

5
Contractor shall indemnify Company and hold Company harmless from and against any and all
damages, expenses, liabilities and claims arising from or attributable to the Contractor in
connection with its performance of Services.

Contractor acknowledges that none of Contractor, its employees or subcontractors are identified by
OFAC (the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control) as a “specially designated
national” or blocked person, and that neither Contractor, its employees nor any subcontractor are a
resident of a “blocked country” as identified by OFAC. If at any time Contractor’s status or the
status of any of its employees or subcontractors changes, such that Contractor or its employees or
subcontractors become a “specially designated national”, a blocked person, or resident of a
“blocked country” by OFAC, Contractor will immediately inform Company and cease performing
any Services.

If applicable, Contractor shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR §§ 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60-
741.5(a). These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status
as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities, and prohibit discrimination against all
individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Moreover, these regulations
require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and
advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
protected veteran status or disability.

11. GENERAL:

This Agreement may not be changed unless mutually agreed upon in writing by both parties. This
Agreement was originally drafted in the English language and if translated, only the English
language version shall be deemed to apply.

This Agreement does not create an obligation on Company to continue to retain Contractor beyond
its term.

Contractor hereby agrees that each provision herein shall be treated as a separate and independent
clause, and the unenforceability of any one clause shall in no way impair the enforceability of any of
the other clauses herein. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity, subject or otherwise so as
to be unenforceable at law, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate
judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent
compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.

Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement or any rights and obligations hereunder to
its successors and assigns, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by said successors or assigns. Contractor may not assign this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

Sections 3 through 7, 10 and 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason,
including expiration of term. Contractor acknowledges that because of the nature of the business of
Company and the subject matter of this Agreement, a breach of Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement
will cause substantial injury to Company for which money damages will not provide an adequate
remedy, and Contractor agrees that Company shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief,

6
including the right to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court
having equity jurisdiction, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies available to
the Company under applicable law.

Except as otherwise expressly provided on any Attachment to this Agreement: (i) this Agreement
and all aspects of the relationship between the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware USA without regard to its
conflict of laws provisions; and (ii) any claims or legal actions by one party against the other shall be
commenced and maintained in a court of proper jurisdiction located in Delaware USA, and both
parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court.

All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be effective when either
served by hand delivery, electronic facsimile transmission, electronic mail, express overnight courier
service, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the parties at their
respective addresses set forth below, or to such other address or addresses as either party may later
specify by written notice to the other:
