MASTER RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.56

This Master Relationship Agreement (“MRA”) by and between GLASSHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“GlassHouse”), a Delaware corporation located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and DELL MARKETING, L.P. (“Dell Marketing”), a Texas limited partnership located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, by and on behalf of Dell, Inc. and their respective subsidiaries and Affiliates (as defined below), is effective as of June 23, 2008 (the “Effective Date”).

SECTION 1. AGREEMENT STRUCTURE

1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule A.

1.2 This MRA, together with all schedules attached hereto (“Schedules”) and Statements of Work shall be collectively referred to as the “Agreement.” The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions, both oral and written, between the parties related to the subject matter of the Agreement that occurred prior to the Effective Date. For the sake of clarity, the Agreement has no impact on the Intellectual Property License Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2008, by and between the parties (the “IP License Agreement”); moreover, the parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall supersede or amend the IP License Agreement.

1.3 The Agreement constitutes the terms and conditions under which Dell will purchase Services from GlassHouse, including, but not limited to, any Deliverables provided to Dell during the course of providing the Services.

1.4 The terms and conditions of the MRA apply to all Schedules, Dell PO(s), and Statements of Work for the purchase of Services. GlassHouse shall not provide Dell with any Services and Dell shall not be obligated to pay for any Services unless Dell and GlassHouse have executed a Statement of Work and Dell has issued a Dell PO for the applicable Services.

1.5 Unless expressly stated otherwise in a Statement of Work, in the event of conflict between the MRA and any Schedule or Statement of Work, the order of precedence shall be as follows: (i) the MRA, (ii) the Schedule, and then (iii) the Statement of Work. Any additional or conflicting terms contained in a Dell PO shall be void and have no effect. Notwithstanding the order of precedence above, if a Statement of Work explicitly identifies a provision in the MRA(other than those that involve indemnification or limitation of liability which may only be modified or superseded by an amendment to the MRA), that the parties intend to be superseded or modified by a provision in the Statement of Work, the provision in the Statement of Work shall prevail for purposes of that Statement of Work.

1.6 When a Dell entity desires to purchase Services, such Dell entity and GlassHouse will execute Statement of Work. Each Statement of Work shall expressly reference this MRA and all the terms and conditions of this MRA shall govern such Statement of Work. Once the applicable Statement of Work is executed, any other Dell entity may subsequently issue a Dell PO to purchase the Services described in the applicable Statement of Work; provided, however, that GlassHouse may accept or reject any Dell PO in its reasonable discretion. For purchases of


		1

Services outside of the United States, a Statement of Work and/or Dell PO will be issued by the applicable local Dell entity to GlassHouse, or to such other GlassHouse Affiliate designated by GlassHouse. All Dell PO(s) will be governed by the terms and conditions of the MRA and the applicable Statement of Work and collectively shall be deemed a separate agreement between the applicable Dell and Glasshouse Entities. To the extent the parties’ Affiliates require additional or alternative terms and conditions than those contained in this MRA in order to comply with local country law or business practices, such alternative or additional terms shall be set forth in a “Country Unique Terms” section of the applicable Statement of Work.

SECTION 2. TERM AND TERMINATION

2.1 Term. Subject to the termination provisions in this MRA, the initial term of this MRA is for three (3) years beginning on the Effective Date. This MRA will automatically renew for additional, successive, one-year terms unless a party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least 180 days before the end of the then current term.

2.2 Termination for Cause. Either GlassHouse or Dell may terminate this MRA or any Statement of Work for cause in the event of a material breach by the other party if such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice.

2.3 Termination for Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control of either party (the “Acquired Party”) to a direct competitor of the other party, then at any time within twelve (12) months after the last to occur of events constituting such Change of Control, such other party may terminate each Statement of Work with respect to all or any part of the Services by giving the Acquired Party at least thirty (30) days prior written notice and designating a date upon which such termination shall be effective.

2.4 Termination for Convenience. Dell may terminate this MRA, including, but not limited to, any Statement of Work or Dell PO and/or Schedule at any time without cause for its convenience upon thirty (30) days written notice.

2.5 Effect of Termination. In the event that this MRA or any Statement of Work or Dell PO is terminated, Dell shall pay GlassHouse, at a minimum, for all Services provided and expenses incurred up to and including the effective date of termination, in accordance with the applicable Statement of Work.

2.6 Transition Plan. Upon the early termination of any Statement of Work, GlassHouse and Dell will promptly meet to negotiate in good faith a transition plan to deal with business that is ongoing or pending at such time (the “Transition Plan”). The objective of the Transition Plan will be to promptly unwind the relationship created under the Statement(s) of Work in a manner that causes the least disruption within the marketplace. It is contemplated that the Transition Plan will deal, among other things, with the fulfillment of pending orders and outstanding tenders, and the treatment of ongoing service and support, and payment terms.

2.7 Dispute Resolution. Prior to the commencement of any litigation relating to a Statement of Work, the senior management of both GlassHouse and Dell shall meet to attempt to resolve the dispute or disputes giving rise to such potential litigation. If the senior management cannot resolve the disputes, either GlassHouse or Dell may make a written demand for formal dispute


		2

resolution. Within thirty (30) days after such written demand, GlassHouse and Dell agree to meet for one day with an impartial mediator and consider dispute resolution alternatives other than litigation. The costs of engaging the mediator shall be shared equally. If an alternative method of dispute resolution is not agreed upon within thirty (30) days after the one-day mediation, either GlassHouse or Dell may begin litigation proceedings.

SECTION 3. PERSONNEL

3.1 Approval of Personnel. Reasonably prior to assigning an individual to perform Services under any Statement of Work and to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances, GlassHouse shall (i) notify Dell of the proposed assignment, (ii) introduce the individual to appropriate Dell representatives, (iii) provide reasonable opportunity for Dell representatives to interview the individual, and (iv) consistent with applicable law, provide Dell with a resume and such other information about the individual as may be reasonably requested by Dell. In addition, GlassHouse shall ensure that it has met all obligations under Dell’s U.S. Site Security and Environmental, Health, and Safety Addendum attached hereto as Schedule B with respect to personnel to be assigned hereunder. If Dell lawfully and in good faith objects to the proposed assignment, GlassHouse shall not assign the individual to that position and shall propose to Dell the assignment of another individual of suitable ability and qualifications.

3.2 Periodic Review. At Dell’s request from time to time, GlassHouse shall allow Dell the opportunity to conduct a review of the GlassHouse personnel performing Services under any Statement of Work and an opportunity to provide meaningful information to GlassHouse with respect to Dell’s evaluation of the performance of the GlassHouse personnel. GlassHouse (or the applicable subcontractor) shall appropriately take such evaluation into account in establishing bonus and other compensation for such individuals. During the term of any Statement of Work and unless otherwise permitted by that Statement or Work, GlassHouse shall not terminate or reassign (other than for cause) the personnel assigned under that Statement of Work.

3.3 Removal of Personnel. If Dell is dissatisfied with the performance or conduct of any GlassHouse personnel assigned to perform services under any Statement of Work, Dell may bring the matter to GlassHouse’s attention and provide a description of the problem or concern in reasonable detail, and GlassHouse will promptly discuss such concern with the employee and take appropriate remedial actions to coach, counsel or reassign such employee as determined by GlassHouse. If such remedial actions do not remedy Dell’s concern within thirty (30) days, Dell may require that GlassHouse remove such member from the performance of Services under that Statement of Work, and GlassHouse shall designate a suitable replacement in accordance with Section 3.1 as soon as reasonably possible.

3.4 No Joint Employment. The personnel deployed by GlassHouse will be and shall remain employees or contractors of GlassHouse, reporting solely to GlassHouse, and GlassHouse will provide for and pay the compensation and other benefits of such personnel, including salary, health, accident and worker’s compensation benefits and all taxes and contributions that an employer is required to pay with respect to the employment of employees. GlassHouse’s personnel performing Services shall have a duty of loyalty to GlassHouse. GlassHouse shall determine the terms of employment for its respective personnel in accordance with its standard practices, including hiring and firing. All GlassHouse personnel assigned to perform services


		3

under any Statement of Work shall be required to sign an acknowledgement in form reasonably acceptable to GlassHouse that provides that although such personnel may work with employees of Dell, (i) they are employees of GlassHouse only and (ii) they are expected to follow the policies, procedures and direction of GlassHouse.

SECTION 4. PRICE AND PAYMENT

4.1 Resources. Except as provided in each Statement of Work, GlassHouse and Dell each will provide the resources necessary for discharging its responsibilities under a Statement of Work at its own cost and expense.

4.2 Taxes. Unless otherwise agreed in each Statement of Work, all payments must be stated (and payments made) in United States dollars and are exclusive of applicable sales, use or similar taxes for which Dell is obligated to pay GlassHouse. Dell has no liability for any taxes based on GlassHouse’s assets or income or for which Dell has an appropriate resale or other exemption that has been provided to GlassHouse and is acceptable to the applicable taxing authority. Dell has the right to withhold any applicable taxes from any royalties or other payments due under each Statement of Work if required by any government authority. All amounts payable under each Statement of Work shall be exclusive of value added tax or analogous taxes (if any) which Dell shall pay at the rate applicable thereto from time to time. GlassHouse shall provide Dell with a valid value added tax invoice (applicable in the country of supply). GlassHouse and Dell will cooperate to ensure so far as possible that the VAT treatment of each Statement of Work is accepted by the relevant tax authorities, and will produce all necessary invoices, records and other documentation for this purpose. In addition, upon Dell’s request, GlassHouse shall ▇▇▇▇ Dell’s or its specified subsidiaries or Affiliates on a regional or local basis.

4.3 Travel Expenses. No travel or other expenses shall be reimbursed unless approved in writing in advance by Dell. Any approved travel shall only be reimbursed if compliant with the then current Dell Travel and Expenses Policy as provided to GlassHouse in advance either by written documentation or via Dell providing GlassHouse with an electronic link. Attached hereto as Schedule D is the Dell Travel and Expenses Policy in effect as of the Effective Date. Any travel requirements specifically described in any executed Statement of Work or otherwise approved in writing by Dell shall be deemed approved by Dell and shall be reimbursed by Dell so long as such travel is incurred in accordance with the Dell Travel and Expenses Policy.

4.4 Invoicing. All invoices provided to Dell will be accumulated, upon receipt, for a period from the 6th day of a month to the 5th day of the following month (the “Accumulation Period”). Dell will pay invoices received during the Accumulation Period net thirty (30) days from the end of the Accumulation Period (EOAP 30). No invoice can be dated prior to the date Services are accepted by Dell. GlassHouse agrees to use diligent efforts to invoice Dell within thirty (30) days after it has the right to invoice under the terms of each Statement of Work. If GlassHouse fails to invoice Dell for any amount within sixty (60) days after the date GlassHouse has the right to invoice Dell pursuant to the terms of the applicable Statement of Work, GlassHouse shall be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have to invoice for and collect such amount.


		4

4.5 Comparable Pricing. GlassHouse covenants that the pricing for Services being accorded to Dell during the term of each Statement of Work will be no less favorable than the pricing being accorded to other customers of GlassHouse purchasing like quantities or less of services that are materially comparable to Services being provided to Dell. If at any time during the term of each Statement of Work, GlassHouse accords to any other such customer more favorable pricing for services substantially similar to those Services purchased by Dell, GlassHouse will immediately offer to sell such Services to Dell at pricing that is equivalent to the more favorable pricing accorded to such other customer.

GlassHouse represents and warrants that all Deliverables provided by GlassHouse will conform to the specifications and descriptions set forth or referenced in each Statement of Work for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery to Dell or the applicable customer, unless an alternative warranty period is expressly set forth in a Statement of Work.

6.4 Limitation on Indemnification.

6.6 Indemnification Procedures. The following procedures will apply with respect to indemnification for Claims arising in connection with a Statement of Work:

(a) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Claim, whether by legal process or otherwise, with respect to any matter within the scope of this SECTION 6, the Indemnitee will give written notice thereof to the Indemnitor and will thereafter keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnitee to give the Indemnitor such prompt written notice will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure results in prejudice to Indemnitor’s defense of such Claim. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from the Indemnitee relating to any claim, but no later than ten (10) days before the date on which any response to a complaint or summons is due, the Indemnitor will notify the Indemnitee in writing that the Indemnitor will assume control of the defense and settlement of such claim (the “Notice”).

(b) If the Indemnitor delivers the Notice relating to any Claim within the required notice period, the Indemnitor will be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ legal advisers at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim. After the Indemnitor has delivered a Notice relating to any claim in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim.

(c) If the Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of any such Claim within the prescribed period of time, then the Indemnitee may assume the defense of any such Claim, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be deemed to be Damages. The Indemnitor will not be responsible for any settlement or compromise made without its consent, unless the Indemnitee has tendered notice and the Indemnitor has then failed to provide Notice and it is later determined that the Indemnitor was liable to assume and defend the Claim.

(d) The Indemnitee will provide reasonable assistance to the Indemnitor (at the Indemnitor’s expense), including reasonable assistance from the Indemnitee’s employees, agents, independent contractors and Affiliates, as applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief affecting the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 9. CONFIDENTIALITY

9.1 Scope. The term “Confidential Information” means, to the extent previously, presently or subsequently disclosed by or for GlassHouse to Dell or Dell to GlassHouse, all financial, business, legal and technical information of either Party or any of its Affiliates, suppliers, customers and employees (including information about research, development, operations, marketing, transactions, discoveries, inventions, methods, processes, materials, algorithms, software, specifications, designs, drawings, data, strategies, plans, prospects, know-how and ideas) that is marked or otherwise identified as proprietary or confidential at the time of disclosure, or which by its nature would be understood by a reasonable person to be proprietary or confidential. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (a) was rightfully known by the receiving party without restriction before receipt from the disclosing party, (b) is rightfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without restriction, (c) is or becomes generally known to the public without violation of any Statement of Work, or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without reliance on or reference to such information.

The confidentiality obligations of the Statement of Work, as they apply to Confidential Information disclosed prior to termination, will survive termination for a period of 3 years; provided, however, that each party’s obligations hereunder shall survive and continue in effect thereafter with respect to any Confidential Information that is a trade secret under applicable law. As soon as reasonably practicable upon the disclosing party’s request at any time, the receiving party shall return to the disclosing party or destroy all then existing originals and copies of any Confidential Information provided to the other party solely in connection with the performance of this Statement of Work and destroy all information, records and materials developed therefrom.

9.3 Compelled Disclosures. These restrictions will not prevent either party from complying with any law, regulation, court order or other legal requirement that purports to compel disclosure of any Confidential Information or the terms and conditions of any Statement of Work. The receiving party will promptly notify the disclosing party upon learning of any such legal requirement, and cooperate with the disclosing party in the exercise of its right to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information before any tribunal or governmental agency. Each party may provide a copy of any Statement of Work or otherwise disclose its terms and conditions in connection with any financing transaction or due diligence inquiry, subject to obligations of confidentiality applicable to the recipient.

9.4 Customer Information.

Compliance Requirements:

Strict compliance with the requirements stated within this Addendum shall be required. Dell may terminate the Agreement with Provider based on any non-compliance with this Addendum. Provider agrees to adhere to and comply with the terms of this Addendum and to require all of Provider’s agents and employees and all of the agents and employees of Provider’s contractors who will be involved in any way with the rendition of Services (“Representatives”) to adhere to and comply with the terms of this Addendum. If Dell requests Provider to replace one or more of Provider’s personnel, agents, or subcontractors for any reason, Provider shall immediately replace that individual after notice is given to Provider by Dell and not reassign that person to perform any Services or any other Dell-related project absent Dell’s specific written consent. The fact that Dell makes any such request shall not require Provider to take any employment or other action against any of Provider’s personnel, agents, or subcontractors.

Provider shall provide each Representative a copy of this Addendum (together with its Exhibits and Attachments) and ensure that each Representative carefully reads this Addendum and agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of this Addendum prior to commencing any work for, on behalf of, or otherwise related to Dell. Provider shall also obtain a certification (in the form set forth in Exhibit “A” to this Addendum) from each Representative prior to the Representative providing any Services and then again each time an individual is assigned to perform Services (other than standard warranty break/fix dispatches) at a new customer site. Additionally, each year, on the anniversary month of the Effective Date of this Addendum, Provider shall provide Dell with Provider’s Certification of Compliance (in the form set forth in Exhibit “A-1” to this Addendum). Provider shall retain all signed Certifications (Exhibit “A”) for at least four years past the termination date of the Agreement.

Provider understands and agrees that Dell’s Check and Screen Service Provider shall apply the standards Dell applies to Dell’s new hires (the “Dell Standards”) in conducting the criminal background checks and drug screens described above and shall determine whether Representative is identified as a sex offender using an available sex offender database selected by Dell’s Check and Screen Service Provider. Provider understands and agrees that Dell may change the Dell Standards at any time, for any reason, with or without notice to Provider. Provider may request a copy of the current Dell Standards at any time. Provider agrees the Dell Standards constitute Confidential Information.


		19

Representations and Warranties:

Provider represents and warrants that neither it nor any of its contractors or subcontractors will allow any Representative to enter onto any Dell property or any Dell customer site unless and until Dell’s Check and Screen Service Provider has affirmatively indicated that the Representative has successfully passed the criminal background check and drug screen described above. By allowing any Representative to enter onto Dell property or any customer site, Provider represents and warrants that:

Information:

Upon request, Provider shall provide Dell with any and all information and documents reasonably requested by Dell to ensure that Provider and Provider’s contractors and subcontractors are complying with the requirements of this Addendum. Provider’s refusal to provide Dell with any information or document requested by Dell shall give Dell the right to terminate the Agreement.

If during an audit of technician-pass/fail status, or any other time, Dell discovers that a technician which has responded to a Dell dispatch has either not completed or failed the criminal background check or drug screen as described above, Dell has the right to require Provider to pay an amount between $1,000 and $10,000 per occurrence, which amount shall be determined on a case-by-case basis based upon the severity of the violation and the actual or potential harm caused to Dell’s business and customers.

Notice:

If Provider receives any information suggesting that any Representative has been charged with or arrested for any criminal offense (other than a minor traffic violation) or is or may be violating any of the terms of this Addendum or the Rules of Conduct of Dell or a Dell Customer, Provider shall immediately provide written notice of same to Provider’s primary Dell contact and shall ensure the Representative does not enter onto any Dell property or any customer site absent the specific written approval of Provider’s primary Dell contact following such written notice.

Compliance with Applicable Law:

If compliance with any portion of this Addendum (including this provision) would require Provider to violate an applicable law, Provider shall notify Provider’s primary Dell contact of same in writing immediately.

This IPSS shall be considered a Schedule under the MRA and shall be deemed part of the Agreement. “Dell” shall mean Dell Marketing, L.P. and its worldwide subsidiaries and affiliates including, but not limited to, Dell Inc. and all subsidiaries of Dell Inc. In the event of a conflict between the NDA, MRA, or any other portion of the Agreement and this IPSS, this IPSS shall prevail.

Provider agrees to treat the Data as Dell confidential information in accordance with the NDA and the Agreement including, without limitation, this IPSS.

Notwithstanding the above, or any contrary terms in the NDA or other parts of the Agreement, any exclusion in the NDA or the Agreement to the definition of confidential information shall not apply to PII/Personal Data disclosed to Provider pursuant to the NDA and this Agreement.

As between Provider and Dell, Dell is the exclusive owner of the Data.

Privacy Obligations

Provider shall immediately notify Dell of any investigations of its information use or security practices by a government, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization.

Infrastructure Security and Connectivity

Upon request for the term of the Agreement, Provider shall provide a summary of the results of a controls audit, such as a SAS 70 Type II or information security audit as applicable to the services being provided, which has been performed within the past year. The audit will include an assessment of Provider’s general controls and security practices and procedures relating to the Data shared, accessed, and/or stored through this Agreement to ensure compliance with applicable national laws, regulations and industry standards. The audit should be performed as part of Provider’s ongoing information security program to evaluate Provider’s general security controls on a regular basis and at Provider’s expense. All such audits shall be performed by: (1) a qualified, objective, independent qualified third-party professional, such as a Certified Information System Security Professional or as a Certified Information Systems Auditor; (2) a person holding Global Information Assurance Certification from the SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security Institute; or (3) a similarly qualified person or organization who is able to demonstrate experience in performing the required type of assessment. Provider and Dell will come to agreement on the timeframe and remediation of any gaps between the audit results and Dell’s expectations.

Dell, or a third party chosen by Dell, may evaluate the security of Provider’s I/T network and associated services, and Provider agrees to work cooperatively with Dell to determine whether additional or different security measures are required to protect the network or Data placed or proposed to be placed or transmitted on the network.

Product Security

Provider shall have processes in place to identify and to notify Dell in a timely manner of any security vulnerabilities identified in the Provider’s product, software, website or other similar item (hereafter “Product”), or in any third party component used in the Provider’s Product. Provider commits to remediate vulnerabilities identified in the Provider’s Product at the Provider’s expense and as a top priority or in a timeframe otherwise agreed upon by Dell.

Provider confirms that it uses, and that Product was designed based upon industry secure coding practices (such as OWASP or SANS Top 10 as applicable), and that information security is addressed throughout the development life-cycle, including without limitations, security development requirements, test plans, code reviews, security testing and quality assurance. The Product’s processes, direct capabilities, and other necessary actions comply with all applicable laws and payment card industry standards, where applicable, including but not limited to laws addressing privacy and information security obligations.

Upon request, Provider will submit the results and remediation efforts of an independent security assessment. The assessment scope must be agreed upon by Dell. Such an assessment is required for all products that will: (a) be customer facing, including shipped with or installed on customer systems; or (b) access, collect, store, transmit, disclose or process Highly-Restricted PII/Personal Data. Remediation efforts must be agreed upon by Dell and addressed to Dell’s satisfaction prior to acceptance of the final Product.

Data Retention

Provider will retain and delete Data in accordance with any retention schedule agreed upon between Dell and Provider. If Provider cannot retain this data for the stated amount of time, Provider will regularly provide the data to Dell for Dell to retain.

Dell has the right to oversee the audit and obtain the audit results.

In no event, however, will Provider dispose of data, which Provider has been notified that Provider must retain in response to a Dell “Legal Hold.” Provider’s obligation to retain such “Legal Hold” data exceeds any agreed-to retention policies or internal policies of Provider. If Provider cannot retain the “Legal Hold” data, Provider will provide the data to Dell for Dell to retain.

Disaster Recovery

Provider will maintain a disaster recovery plan for restoring its current and off-site data files. Provider will at all times be responsible for daily backup and preservation of any Data within its control. All backup copies of Data shall be treated as Dell confidential information.
