DISPUTE RESOLUTION ADDENDUM
|
|
1
|
|
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
|
|
Any dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including with respect to the interpretation of any
|
|
provision of this Agreement or with respect to performance by a party, will be resolved as provided in this Dispute Resolution
|
|
Addendum (Dispute Resolution).
|
|
1.1
|
|
Informal Dispute Resolution
|
|
(a)
|
|
The parties initially will attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement informally
|
|
in accordance with the following:
|
|
(i)
|
|
Within ten (10) days after a party receives notice of a dispute from the other party ("Dispute
|
|
Date"), it will designate a senior representative (i.e., a person whose rank within the company is
|
|
superior to, in the case of Vendor, the Client Partner, and in the case of XYZ, the XYZ
|
|
Program Manager) who does not devote substantially all of his time to performance under this
|
|
Agreement, who will offer to meet with the designated senior representative of the other party for
|
|
the purpose of attempting to resolve the dispute amicably.
|
|
(ii)
|
|
The appointed representatives will meet promptly to discuss the dispute and attempt to resolve it
|
|
without the necessity of any formal proceeding. They will meet as often as the parties deem
|
|
necessary in order that each party may be fully advised of the other's position. During the course
|
|
of
|
|
discussion, all reasonable requests made by one party to the other for non-privileged
|
|
information reasonably related to the matters in dispute will be honored promptly.
|
|
(iii)
|
|
The specific format for the discussions will be left to the discretion of the appointed
|
|
representatives.
|
|
(b)
|
|
Formal dispute resolution may be commenced by a party upon the first to occur of any of the following:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the appointed representatives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution of the dispute
|
|
through continued negotiation does not appear likely;
|
|
(ii)
|
|
thirty-five (35) days have passed from the Dispute Date (this period will be deemed to run
|
|
notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Section 1.1 (Informal Dispute
|
|
Resolution) was not followed or completed); or
|
|
(iii)
|
|
commencement of formal dispute resolution is deemed appropriate by a party to avoid the
|
|
expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect
|
|
to
|
|
other creditors, or a party makes a good faith determination that a breach of this Agreement by
|
|
the other party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive or conservatory relief
|
|
is necessary.
|
|
1.2
|
|
Litigation
|
|
For all litigation which may arise with respect this Agreement, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to
|
|
the exclusive jurisdiction and venue (and waive any claim of forum non conveniens and any objections as to laying
|
|
of venue) of (a) the state court in St. Louis, Missouri with subject matter jurisdiction, or (b) if no such court has
|
|
subject matter jurisdiction, to the federal court in St. Louis, Missouri with subject matter jurisdiction in connection
|
|
with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The parties further consent to the
|
|
jurisdiction of any court located within a district that encompasses assets of a party against which a judgment has
|
|
been rendered for the enforcement of such judgment or award against the assets of such party.
|
|
1.3
|
|
Continued Performance
|
|
Each party agrees (a) to continue performing its obligations under this Agreement while a dispute is being resolved
|
|
except (and then only) to the extent performance is prevented by the other party or the issue in dispute precludes
|
|
performance, and (b) not to take any action that intentionally obstructs, delays, or reduces in any way the
|
|
performance of such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, a good faith dispute regarding invoiced Charges and
|
|
XYZ's withholding payment of disputed charges as permitted under this Agreement will not be considered to
|
|
prevent Vendor from performing the Services or preclude performance by Vendor, nor will this Section 1.3 be
|
|
interpreted to limit either party's right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 8 (Term and Termination).

INSURANCE ADDENDUM
|
|
1.0
|
|
Prior to the commencement of work, Vendor shall deposit with XYZ's designated representative evidence
|
|
of
|
|
insurance protection in the form of certificates (ACORD). All insurance policies maintained to provide the coverages
|
|
required herein shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which work is
|
|
performed, and by companies rated, at a minimum, "A X" by A.M. Best. Coverages afforded under such policies
|
|
are primary as respects XYZ, and any other insurance maintained by XYZ are excess and non-contributing
|
|
with the insurance required hereunder. The amounts will not be less than those specified below:
|
|
2.0
|
|
Vendor agrees to waive any rights of subrogation that Vendor may have against XYZ under applicable
|
|
insurance policies related to the work performed by Vendor. Indemnification by Vendor shall not be limited or
|
|
reduced by any insurance coverage limitations. XYZ Corporation and its affiliates and subsidiaries shall be
|
|
named as an additional insured on all policies (excluding Workers Compensation) and evidenced on the certificate
|
|
of insurance. All certificates of insurance shall provide that the insurer give thirty (30) days' written notice to
|
|
XYZ prior to the effective date of expiration, any material change or cancellation. Said notice shall be submitted
|
|
to a XYZ Strategic Sourcing representative.
|
|
3.0
|
|
Notwithstanding any insurance coverages of Vendor, nothing in this Insurance Addendum shall be deemed to limit
|
|
or nullify Vendor's indemnification obligations under the Agreement. Vendor agrees that it shall work solely at
|
|
Vendor's risk.
|
|
4.0
|
|
Vendor shall make certain that any and all Subcontractors hired by Vendor are insured in accordance with this
|
|
Agreement. If any Subcontractor's coverage does not comply with the provisions herein, Vendor shall indemnify
|
|
and hold XYZ harmless of and from any and all damage, loss, cost or expense, including attorneys' fees,
|
|
incurred by XYZ as a result thereof.

PROJECT DELAY ADDENDUM
|
|
1. Each party shall designate in writing one individual to serve as its project manager for the services described in
|
|
this SOW (hereafter referred to as the "Project"). XYZ hereby designates
|
|
(Email:
|
|
XXXXXX@XXXX.com) as the XYZ Project Manager and Vendor hereby designates
|
|
(Email:
|
|
XXXX@XXXXX.com) as the Vendor Project Manager. Upon notice (which may be by email) to the other party's Project
|
|
Manager, a party may, in its sole discretion, change its Project Manager unless such change is expressly prohibited by
|
|
another provision of the Agreement.
|
|
2. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Project Delay Addendum shall have the meanings ascribed to them
|
|
in the Agreement unless defined otherwise herein.
|
|
(a) "Due Date" means the date by which a specific obligation or condition for which Vendor is responsible
|
|
pursuant to the Agreement must be satisfied.
|
|
(b)

performance of, any
|
|
XYZ
|
|
obligation.
|
|
(c) "Project Delay" means the amount of time Vendor's performance is likely to be delayed as a result of a
|
|
Project Problem.
|
|
(d) "Project Problem" means any problem or circumstance (including without limitation any XYZ Issue)
|
|
encountered or reasonably anticipated by Vendor since the last Project Report, if any, that may cause Vendor to miss a Due
|
|
Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Project Problems do not include problems or circumstances with the Project that Vendor
|
|
has not encountered or does not reasonably anticipate.
|
|
(e) "Project Report" (capitalized or not) means a written notice (which may be delivered via email) from
|

|

Problem is caused by a XYZ Issue, any suggested actions to be taken by the parties in order to reduce the impact of the
|
|
Project Problem.

3.

In addition to any other project reports required by this SOW, within three (3) business days after

|
|
4.
|
|
In the event Vendor fails to describe a Project Problem of which Vendor was aware (an "Unidentified Project
|
|
Problem") in a Progress Report and in such manner and at such time as required above, it shall be presumed for purposes
|
|
of this SOW that no Project Problem has arisen and Vendor shall not be entitled to rely upon such Unidentified Project
|
|
Problem as a purported justification for failing to meet its obligations hereunder.
|
|
5. Submission by Vendor of Progress Reports pursuant to the above shall not alter or waive either party's rights
|
|
or obligations pursuant to any provision of the Agreement.
