This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the undersigned parties and entities, and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

CONDITIONS AFFECTING WORK

CONTRACTOR will investigate and acquaint itself with the conditions affecting the Work. CONTRACTOR's failure to acquaint itself with any conditions affecting the Work or any available related information will not relieve it from responsibility for properly estimating the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the Work.

COMPANY is not responsible for any conclusions or interpretations made by CONTRACTOR from the information made available by COMPANY, other than information contained in or referenced in this Agreement. CONTRACTOR will draw its own conclusions from its review of any and all data and information provided by COMPANY.

CONTRACTOR assumes full responsibility for investigating conditions and determining the existence and magnitude of any hazards to the physical well-being of property of CONTRACTOR, the employees, agents, and servants of CONTRACTOR, or any other person or entity who is or may become involved in the performance of Work, and any and all other persons in the vicinity of the Work. CONTRACTOR will advise all of the above-specified persons or entities of any hazards relating to Work, and will ensure that those persons or entities are advised of and fully understand the nature of the hazards and safety precautions that can be taken to eliminate or minimize dangers relating to the hazards.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

In performing the Work for COMPANY, CONTRACTOR will conform and otherwise ensure that the Work conforms to the specifications and output and delivery standards set forth in this Section and all other warranties and standards of performance provided for in the applicable Statement of Work (the “Performance Standards”).

CHANGES IN WORK

COMPANY may by written notice, make changes in, additions to, or deletions from the Work. If any change significantly increases the time required to perform the Work, an equitable adjustment will be made in the schedule and pricing for the performance and completion of the Work. If the Work is being performed on a fixed price basis, and if any change significantly increases or decreases the cost to CONTRACTOR of performing the Work, then an equitable adjustment will be made in the price.

In order to receive an equitable adjustment in price or schedule, CONTRACTOR must provide a written request for that adjustment within five (5) working days after receiving COMPANY's notice of a change in the Work. CONTRACTOR will continue to perform the changed Work prior to or pending Agreement on an equitable adjustment and will not halt or delay performance of the Work because of any failure to reach an Agreement on an adjustment.

BACKGROUND CHECKS/DRUG SCREENING

Prior to personnel performing Work for COMPANY hereunder and at least annually thereafter, CONTRACTOR will conduct (i) background checks (covering such matters as dictated by COMPANY from time to time, but in no case less than what COMPANY is required to conduct with respect to its own employees under applicable laws and regulations) and (ii) drug tests on all CONTRACTOR Agents and applicants utilized in connection with the Work hereunder. No person shall perform services for COMPANY if such person has a prior felony conviction or if such person tests positively for illegal substances.

IDENTITY OF CONTRACTOR GROUP PERSONNEL

Upon request by COMPANY, CONTRACTOR shall promptly make known to COMPANY the names and identity of any CONTRACTOR Group person interacting with COMPANY’s customers or performing Work at COMPANY’s customers’ locations.

NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS

Nothing in this Agreement (including any attachments) shall create, or be construed as creating, any express or implied rights in any person or entity other than the Parties except that the members of COMPANY Group are express third-party beneficiaries of any section that specifically names it.

FORCE MAJEURE

If either party becomes unable, either wholly or in part, by an event of Force Majeure, to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, the obligations affected by the event of Force Majeure will be suspended only during the continuance of that inability. The party so affected will give written notice of the existence, extent and nature of the Force Majeure to the other party within *** hours after the occurrence of the event. The party so affected will remedy its inability as soon as possible. Failure to give notice will result in the continuance of the affected party's obligation regardless of the extent of any existing Force Majeure.

The term "Force Majeure" as used in this Agreement means acts of God (except as excluded herein), any event outside of the reasonable control of the party (and which could not be reasonably anticipated and prevented through the use of reasonable measures), including without limitation, strikes, lockouts, or other industrial disturbances, acts of public enemies, wars, blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, earthquakes, fires, priority allocations of pipe or other materials or orders, restraints or prohibitions by any court, board, department, commission or agency of the United States or of any States, any arrests and restraints, civil disturbances, explosions and inability despite reasonable diligence to obtain materials essential to the Work. Rain, snow, ice or other adverse weather conditions will not be considered events of Force Majeure.

SUSPENSION FOR CONVENIENCE

COMPANY may, by notice in writing to CONTRACTOR, suspend *** the performance of *** to be performed under this Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, CONTRACTOR will, unless the notice requires otherwise:

a)	immediately discontinue Work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice;

b)	place no further orders or subcontracts for material, services or facilities with respect to suspended Work other than to the extent required in the notice;

c)	promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain suspension upon terms satisfactory to COMPANY of all orders, subcontracts and rental agreements to the extent they relate to performance of suspended Work; and

d)	take any other reasonable steps to minimize costs associated with such suspension.

As full compensation for suspended Work, CONTRACTOR will be entitled to an equitable adjustment in its compensation as follows:

a)	A * to * for *, to the extent required by the * and *** to the Work; and

b)	* associated with * and * of * (to the extent that such * in such event, * have the * to * and ***;

Upon receipt of notice to resume Work, CONTRACTOR will immediately resume Work in accordance with the notice to resume Work. If CONTRACTOR intends to assert a claim for equitable adjustment, it must, within seven (7) days after receipt of notice to resume Work, submit to COMPANY a written statement setting forth the schedule impact and the monetary amount of the claim in sufficient detail to permit thorough analysis.

SUSPENSION FOR CAUSE

In addition to the other remedies provided COMPANY in this Agreement, COMPANY has the right to order the temporary suspension of any Work when it determines, in its reasonable discretion, that performance of the Work is not being conducted in a safe or lawful manner, the specified quality of the Work is not being met, or the Work is not otherwise being performed in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. (However, COMPANY will not use any diminished performance occurring during a suspension hereunder in order to invoke a subsequent suspension due solely to such diminished performance occurring during the prior suspension hereunder.)

If any unsatisfactory condition of a portion of any Work performed hereunder is brought to CONTRACTOR's attention, and is corrected by CONTRACTOR (e.g., retraining its personnel) to COMPANY’s reasonable satisfaction, COMPANY will authorize CONTRACTOR to resume the Work. Should CONTRACTOR fail to promptly correct the unsatisfactory condition to COMPANY’s reasonable satisfaction, CONTRACTOR will be considered in breach of this Agreement.

TERMINATION

COMPANY may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time, at its sole discretion, by providing written notice of termination to CONTRACTOR. The notice of termination will specify the effective date of any termination, and the Work or any part of the Work to be terminated, or alternatively, that this Agreement is terminated in its entirety.

CONTRACTOR will discontinue Work in accordance with COMPANY's termination instructions. Upon receiving notice of termination, CONTRACTOR will place no further orders, or enter into further subcontracts for services, materials or equipment related to the terminated Work. In addition, CONTRACTOR will delay or terminate all existing orders and subcontracts, insofar as those orders and subcontracts relate to the performance of the Work terminated. For any termination for convenience by COMPANY where COMPANY provides less than forty five (45) days prior written notice, COMPANY shall pay to CONTRACTOR all reasonable costs associated with demobilization of CONTRACTOR’s ordered products (to the extent that such products can be resold; in such event, COMPANY shall have the right to receive all such products paid for), subcontractors, plant, forces and equipment. In addition but without duplication, for any termination for convenience by COMPANY where COMPANY provides less than 90 days prior written notice, COMPANY shall pay to CONTRACTOR amounts owing by COMPANY under all outstanding purchase orders as of the date of termination (to the extent that such products cannot be resold; in such event, COMPANY shall have the right to receive all such products paid for).

If COMPANY fails to pay when due any undisputed amount owed by COMPANY to CONTRACTOR hereunder, then CONTRACTOR shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement and take any action allowed by law to collect such amounts owed by COMPANY, provided CONTRACTOR has first provided thirty (30) days written notice to COMPANY specifying the failure, during which time COMPANY will have the right and opportunity to cure the failure prior to such termination.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party breaches in any material respect any of such other Party’s obligations under this Agreement, provided such terminating Party has first provided thirty (30) days written notice to such breaching Party specifying the failure, during which time such breaching Party will have the right and opportunity to cure the failure prior to such termination.

Except as expressly provided in the second paragraph above, in the event this Agreement or the Work is terminated, COMPANY's only liability will be to pay CONTRACTOR the unpaid balance due CONTRACTOR for Work actually performed.

There will be deducted from any unpaid balance due CONTRACTOR the amounts of all claims of COMPANY against CONTRACTOR, including, but not limited to, claims on account of defect in materials and workmanship.

WARRANTY

CONTRACTOR agrees and warrants that its employees, agents and subcontractors will perform the Work in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with high professional standards, with a level of care, skill, knowledge and judgment required or reasonably expected of firms or persons performing comparable services, and in strict accordance with this Agreement, including but not limited to, all specifications made a part of this Agreement. Further, CONTRACTOR warrants that all Work will be free from defects in design, materials and workmanship for the *** of a period of *** from the date of *** or *** from the date of *** (“Warranty Period”), except where specific Work items have been specified to have a longer warranty, unless the failure was the result of, *** or *** of *** or *** or an *** of ***.

Upon written notice from COMPANY that any of the Work performed by CONTRACTOR fails to conform to any of the above-specified warranties, CONTRACTOR will, at no additional cost to COMPANY, properly remedy the failure and reperform any Work necessary so that the Work conforms to those warranties. CONTRACTOR further warrants any and all corrected or reperformed Work to be free from defects in design, materials and workmanship for the greater time period of either (i) the remaining Warranty Period or a period of *** months following the corrected or re-performed Work.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. COMPANY'S SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY IS THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, AT CONTRACTOR’S OPTION, OF THE FAILED ITEM. CONTRACTOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO CUSTOMERS OF COMPANY.

RECORDS AND RIGHTS TO AUDIT

(a) CONTRACTOR will keep accurate and complete books of accounts, records, documents and other evidence related to the charges for and performance of any Work (including records and documents related to CONTRACTOR’s compliance with its drug testing and background check requirements) (collectively, “Records”), and of any change or modification to the Work. COMPANY may inspect those records and CONTRACTOR’s facilities at any time during normal business hours.

(b) All Records required for an audit and inspection will be made available at the offices of CONTRACTOR, at all reasonable times, for inspection, audit or reproduction, until four years from date of final payment for any Work. COMPANY will bear the expenses incurred by it in supporting any such inspection or audit; provided, however, that should any audit or investigation produce evidence that CONTRACTOR has knowingly overstated charges or units of measure upon which charges are based, or provided gifts, gratuities or other benefits to employees of COMPANY in violation of the terms of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR will be liable to COMPANY for actual damages, including cost of audit and investigation.

BUSINESS ETHICS

CONTRACTOR represents and warrants that neither it nor any person or entity associated in any manner with CONTRACTOR has, or during the term of this Agreement will:

1)	Provide or offer any compensation or benefit of any type, including any gift or gratuity, other than advertising mementos of nominal value or reasonable business meals and business entertainment, to any COMPANY System employee;

2)	Maintain or establish any undisclosed business affiliation that could constitute or give the appearance of a conflict with the interests of the COMPANY System.

If, during the term of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR knows or becomes aware of any facts or circumstances contrary to the representations and the warranties above, CONTRACTOR will immediately notify COMPANY and provide sufficient information for COMPANY to take appropriate protective or corrective actions. CONTRACTOR further agrees to cooperate fully in any investigation undertaken by COMPANY.

CONTRACTOR, if requested by COMPANY, agrees to require its employees to execute an ethics/nondisclosure agreement at any time.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

CONTRACTOR will not engage in any activity that will adversely affect or impair its ability to perform the Work in an independent and reliable manner. CONTRACTOR warrants that it has no professional or contractual obligations that will conflict with its performance of any Work.

PROTECTION AGAINST LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES

CONTRACTOR will not at any time permit any lien, attachment or other encumbrance ("Encumbrance") by any person or persons whosoever or by reason of any claim or demand against CONTRACTOR to be placed or remain on the property of COMPANY or COMPANY’s customers, including, but not limited to, the Work Site upon which Work is being performed or equipment and materials that are being furnished. To prevent an Encumbrance from being placed on the property of COMPANY or COMPANY’s customers, CONTRACTOR will furnish during the progress of any Work, as requested from time to time, verified statements showing CONTRACTOR's total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the Work.

If CONTRACTOR allows any indebtedness to accrue to subcontractors or others and fails to pay, discharge, or institute corrective measures that promptly rectifies that indebtedness, within five (5) days after demand, then COMPANY may withhold any money due CONTRACTOR until that indebtedness is paid or pay the indebtedness and apply that amount against the money due CONTRACTOR.

If CONTRACTOR allows any Encumbrances, whether valid or invalid to be placed on the property of COMPANY or COMPANY’s customers, any and all claims or demands for payment to CONTRACTOR will be denied by COMPANY until the Encumbrance is removed. If the Encumbrance is not removed immediately, COMPANY may pay that claim on demand and deduct the amount paid, together with all related expenses, including attorneys' fees, from any further payment due CONTRACTOR, or at COMPANY's election, CONTRACTOR will, upon demand, reimburse COMPANY for the amount paid and all related expenses. Any payment made in good faith by COMPANY will be binding on CONTRACTOR.

WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

Neither party will be liable to the other in contract, tort, or on any other basis, for any consequential damages of any nature, including, but not limited to, lost profits or revenues, loss of customer goodwill, business interruption costs, overhead costs, lost profits, costs of capital, or loss of use of money. Consequential damage also includes attorneys' fees, except as otherwise specifically provided for, in this Agreement and it is expressly understood that this paragraph will be subjugated to, and will not limit or otherwise affect in any manner, the obligations to indemnify and hold harmless as provided for in the Confidentiality, Indemnity, Compliance with Laws, Restrictive Covenant and Intellectual Property provisions of this Agreement or the obligations as provided for in the Warranty of this Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION

CONTRACTOR agrees to and will defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless COMPANY Group from and against all claims, losses, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, demands, judgments, causes of action, suits, and liability in tort, contract, or any other basis and of every kind and character whatsoever (hereinafter in this and the following paragraphs collectively referred to as "CLAIMS"), for personal injury, death, or property damage of any member of CONTRACTOR Group, arising out of or incident to or related in any way to, directly or indirectly, this Agreement, or the Work, services, or materials to be performed or supplied thereunder, or to any activities of any member of CONTRACTOR Group while on any premises actually or allegedly owned, controlled, or operated by COMPANY, including, but not limited to, CLAIMS arising out of or resulting from (1) any condition of the premises, (2) separate operations being conducted on the premises, or (3) the imperfection or defective condition, whether latent or patent, of any material or equipment sold, supplied, or furnished by COMPANY; and further, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH, CLAIMS, AND CONTRACTOR's OBLIGATIONS TO DEFEND, PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS, WILL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM COMPANY GROUP's CONCURRENT (1) NEGLIGENCE, (2) STRICT LIABILITY, OR (3) OTHER FAULT OF ANY NATURE PROVIDED THAT CONTRACTOR GROUP IS AT LEAST 50% AT FAULT.

CONTRACTOR will hold harmless and indemnify COMPANY Group from and against, and at COMPANY's option, defend COMPANY Group against, any and all fines, penalties, losses, liabilities, damages, claims and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs), arising out of or incurred as a result, directly and indirectly, of any alleged or actual infringement or violation of any right, or alleged right, relating to intellectual property, including, but not limited to, patent, copyright or trade secret. This indemnification shall not extend to any claim based on any alleged infringement to the extent that it is caused by (a) ***, or *** to the*** or *** by or on behalf of anyone other than those performed or authorized by ***, (b) *** of the *** any other *** or ***or (c) ***, by ***, of the *** or *** this Agreement.

In addition, if any claim is brought alleging infringement or the violation of any intellectual property right, CONTRACTOR will avoid any further possible infringement of the intellectual property right, and will seek to resolve the claim in consultation with COMPANY, either by means of alternative arrangements for the Services, or by obtaining permission to use the intellectual property in question.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

CONTRACTOR represents that it is knowledgeable of and will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, rules, decrees, orders, regulations, by-laws, ordinances and codes that may, in any manner, affect the conduct of the Work. CONTRACTOR further represents and warrants that it has read and will comply with “Rule 25.474 of the Public Utility Commission of Texas” (the current version of which is attached as Attachment 3). Any violations of the Customer Protection rules by CONTRACTOR, as well as any conduct in performance of this Agreement, that is in violation of any federal, state, or local enactment, as specified above, is a breach of this Agreement.

CONTRACTOR, with regard to its employees, assumes and retains sole and complete responsibility and liability for compliance with any and all federal, state, and local antidiscrimination statutes, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974; the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act; and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990. CONTRACTOR will promptly advise COMPANY of any action required to be initiated by COMPANY in order to comply with those statutes.

If fines, penalties or legal costs are assessed against COMPANY Group by any court or governmental agency or third party due to CONTRACTOR Group's failure to so comply with the provisions of this Compliance with Laws section, or if the Work of CONTRACTOR, or any part thereof, is delayed or stopped by any court or governmental agency, due to CONTRACTOR Group's failure to comply with its obligations, CONTRACTOR will indemnify and hold harmless COMPANY from and against any and all fines, penalties, losses, liabilities, damages, claims, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or incurred as a result, directly or indirectly, of that failure.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

The parties ("Non-Disclosing Party") shall keep confidential and secret any and all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party ("Disclosing Party"). "Confidential Information" shall include, but not be limited to, pricing, trade secrets, know-how, proprietary information, formulae, processes, techniques, customer information, product design and marketing activities that may be disclosed, whether orally or in writing, to Non-Disclosing Party by Disclosing Party and/or Disclosing Party's parent, subsidiary or affiliate companies, or that may be otherwise received or accessed by Non-Disclosing Party in the course of performing this Agreement. Non-Disclosing Party expressly agrees that it (a) shall use such Confidential Information solely and exclusively in connection with the discharge of its obligations under this Agreement and (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to any other person without the Disclosing Party's prior written consent, unless: (1) the information is known to Non-Disclosing Party prior to obtaining it from Disclosing Party; (2) the information is, at the time of disclosure by Non-Disclosing Party, then in the public domain; or (3) the information is obtained by Non-Disclosing Party from a third party who did not receive it directly or indirectly from Disclosing Party and who has no obligation of secrecy with respect to that information. Non-Disclosing Party's obligations not to disclose Confidential Information to third parties and otherwise not to use Confidential Information shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Non-Disclosing Party acknowledges that, in the event of its breach of the provisions of this section, Disclosing Party shall suffer damages that are not easily determinable, and shall be entitled to equitable relief, including, without limitation, an injunction or an order for specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available to Disclosing Party at law or in equity.

If so requested by COMPANY, CONTRACTOR further agrees to require its employees to execute a nondisclosure agreement prior to performing any services under this Agreement.

Upon written request from Disclosing Party all Confidential Information in tangible form will be, at the Disclosing Party’s discretion, either returned promptly to Disclosing Party or destroyed promptly by Receiving Party, and in either case not retained by Receiving Party in any form (and regardless of whether Receiving Party returns, destroys or retains such information, Receiving Party will continue to be bound by its obligations of confidentiality and other obligations hereunder). The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will survive any return of Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR’s obligations to maintain and not use or disclose Confidential Information will apply perpetually, and without limit in duration, as to any Confidential Information disclosed by COMPANY or its Affiliates which makes possible the identification of any individual customer of COMPANY or its Affiliates, by matching such information with the customer’s name, address, account number, type or classification of service, historical electricity usage, expected patterns of use, types of facilities used in providing service, individual contract terms and conditions, price, current charges, or billing records. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, CONTRACTOR further agrees that it and its Affiliates will protect Confidential Information consisting of proprietary customer information from disclosure as required by Public Utility Commission of Texas Substantive Rule 25.472 and will comply with the customer confidentiality provisions set forth in Rule 25.472 promulgated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (as updated from time to time) as if CONTRACTOR were a retail electric provider (as required under Rule 25.472 because CONTRACTOR will have access to proprietary customer information of COMPANY and COMPANY is a retail electric provider). CONTRACTOR further represents and warrants that it has read Attachment 5 to this Agreement entitled “Rule 25.472 of the Public Utility Commission of Texas.”

All Confidential Information that is disclosed by Disclosing Party to Receiving Party will remain property of Disclosing Party. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as granting a license, franchise or similar right, expressly or impliedly, for any invention, discovery or improvement made, conceived or acquired in relation to the Confidential Information or otherwise, or under any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property right, except as necessary for Receiving Party’s authorized use of the Confidential Information. Disclosing Party makes no representation or warranty with respect to any information furnished hereunder but will furnish information in good faith to the best of its knowledge and ability. The Disclosing Party will not have any liability or responsibility for errors or omissions in, or any business decisions made by the Receiving Party in reliance on, any Confidential Information.

CONTRACTOR further acknowledges that it has read Attachment 4 entitled “Principles for Privacy of Customer Data” and Attachment 6 entitled “Privacy, Confidentiality and Information Security Provisions” and that it will comply with all provisions thereof with respect to Confidential Information relating to Company’s customers.
