i. Contractor Project Manager must:
1. have the request authority, and necessary skill, experience, and qualifications, to perform in such capacity;

3. be the State’s primary point of contact for communications with respect to this Contract, including with respect to giving and receiving all day-to-day approvals and consents.
ii. Contractor Project Manager must be available as set forth in a Statement of Work and attend all regularly scheduled meetings as set forth in a Statement of Work or as otherwise directed by the State.

2. the State consents in writing to any removal requested by Contractor in writing; and
3. Contractor Project Manager ceases to be employed by Contractor, whether by resignation, involuntary termination or otherwise.
iv. Upon the occurrence of any event set forth in Sections 3(e)(iii)(1-3) above, Contractor will promptly replace its Contractor Project Manager. Such replacement will be subject to the State’s prior written approval.
f. Contractor’s Key Personnel
i. The State has the right to recommend and approve in writing the initial assignment, as well as any proposed reassignment or replacement, of any Key Personnel. Before assigning an individual to any Key Personnel position, Contractor will notify the State of the proposed assignment, introduce the individual to the State’s Project Managers or their designees, and provide the State with a resume and any other information about the individual reasonably requested by the State. The State reserves the right to interview the individual before granting written approval. In the event the State finds a proposed individual unacceptable, Contractor must propose another qualified individual for the position for State approval.
g. Unauthorized Removal
i. Contractor will not remove any Contractor Key Personnel from their assigned roles on this Contract without 30 days prior written notification to the State which must include a plan for transitioning to a new resource including knowledge transfer. Contractor must replace the individual with an individual of equal or greater qualifications. The Contractor’s removal of Contractor Key Personnel without the prior written notice to the State and, when applicable the prior written consent of the State, is an unauthorized removal (“Unauthorized Removal”). An Unauthorized Removal does not include replacing Contractor Key Personnel for reasons beyond the reasonable control of Contractor, including illness, disability, leave of absence, personal emergency circumstances, resignation, or for cause termination of the Contractors Personnel’s employment. Any Unauthorized Removal of Key Personnel may be considered by the State to be a material breach of this Contract, in respect of which the State may elect to terminate this Contract for cause under Section 14.
ii. It is further acknowledged that an Unauthorized Removal will interfere with the timely and proper completion of this Contract, to the loss and damage of the State, and that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damage sustained by the State as a result of any Unauthorized Removal. Therefore, Contractor and the State agree that in the case of any Unauthorized Removal in respect of which the State does not elect to exercise its rights under Section 14, Contractor will issue to the State the corresponding credits set forth below as the State’s exclusive monetary remedy (each, an “Unauthorized Removal Credit”):
1. Unauthorized Removal of Key Personnel:
a. For the Unauthorized Removal of any Key Personal designated in the Statement of Work, the credit amount will be $25,000.00 per individual if Contractor identifies a replacement approved by the State and assigns the replacement to shadow the Key Personnel who is leaving for a period of at least 30 calendar days before the Key Personnel’s removal.
b. If Contractor fails to assign a replacement to shadow the removed Key Personnel for at least 30 calendar days, in addition to the $25,000.00 credit specified above, Contractor will credit the State $833.33 per calendar day for each day of the 30 calendar-day shadow period that the replacement Key Personnel does not shadow the removed Key Personnel, up to $25,000 maximum per individual. The total Unauthorized Removal Credits that may be assessed per Unauthorized Removal and failure to provide 30 calendar days of shadowing will not exceed $50,000.00 per individual.
2. Contractor’s aggregate liability for all Unauthorized Removal Credits assessed under the Statement of Work shall not exceed $250,000, which will be the State’s exclusive monetary remedy for Unauthorized Removals.
iii. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that each of the Unauthorized Removal Credits assessed under Subsection ii above: (i) is a reasonable estimate of and compensation for the anticipated or actual harm to the State that may arise from the Unauthorized Removal, which would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate; and (ii) may, at the State’s option, be credited or set off against any Fees or other charges payable to Contractor under this Contract.
h. Subcontractors. Contractor will not, without the prior written approval of the State, which consent may be given or withheld in the State’s sole discretion, engage any third party to perform Services or provide Deliverables. The State’s approval of any such third party (each approved third party, a “Permitted Subcontractor”) does not relieve Contractor of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Contract. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor will:
i. be responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of each such Permitted Subcontractor ) to the same extent as if such acts or omissions were by Contractor or its employees;
ii. upon request of the State, name the State a third-party beneficiary under Contractor’s contract with each Subcontractor with respect to the Services and Deliverables;
iii. be responsible for all fees and expenses payable to, by or on behalf of each Permitted Subcontractor in connection with this Contract, including, if applicable, withholding of income taxes, and the payment and withholding of social security and other payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation insurance payments and disability benefits; and
iv. prior to the provision of Services or creation of Deliverables by any subcontractor, if requested by the State:
1. obtain from such Permitted Subcontractor confidentiality, work-for-hire and Intellectual Property rights assignment agreements, in form and substance acceptable by the State, giving the State rights consistent with those set forth in Section 8 and, upon request, provide the State with a fully-executed copy of each such contract;
and
2. with respect to all Permitted Subcontractor employees providing Services or Deliverables, comply with its obligations under Section 3.d above.
i. Change Control Process. The State may at any time request in writing (each, a
“Change Request”) changes to a Statement of Work, including changes to the Services and Deliverables (each, a “Change”). Upon the State’s submission of a Change Request, the parties will evaluate and implement all Changes in accordance with this Section 3.i.
i. As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any case within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of a Change Request, Contractor will provide the State with a written proposal for implementing the requested Change (“Change Proposal”), setting forth:
1. a written description of the proposed Changes to any Services or Deliverables;
2. an amended implementation plan reflecting: (A) the schedule for commencing and completing any additional or modified Services or Deliverables; and (B) the effect of such Changes, if any, on completing any other Services or Deliverables;
3. any additional resources Contractor deems necessary to carry out such Changes; and
4. any increase or decrease in fees resulting from the proposed Changes, which increase or decrease will reflect only the increase or decrease in time and expenses Contractor requires to carry out the Change.
ii. Within thirty (30) Business Days following the State’s receipt of a Change Proposal, the State will by written notice to Contractor, approve, reject, or propose modifications to such Change Proposal. If the State proposes modifications, Contractor must modify and re-deliver the Change Proposal reflecting such modifications, or notify the State of any disagreement, in which event the parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreement. Upon the State’s approval of the Change Proposal or the parties’ agreement on all proposed modifications, as the case may be, the parties will execute a written agreement to the Change Proposal (“Change Notice”), which Change Notice will be signed by the State’s Contract Administrator and will constitute an amendment to the Statement of Work to which it relates; and
iii. If the parties fail to enter into a Change Notice within fifteen (15) Business Days following the State’s response to a Change Proposal, either party may initiate a dispute as set forth in Section 34. If the parties fail to enter into a Change Notice even after completion of the dispute resolution process, the State may, in its discretion:
1. require Contractor to perform the Services under the Statement of Work without the Change;
2. require Contractor to continue to negotiate a Change Notice;
3. initiate a dispute resolution pursuant to the Dispute Resolution section under this Contract; or
4. notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Statement of Work, terminate this Contract for cause.
iv. No Change will be effective until the parties have executed a Change Notice. Except as the State may request in its Change Request or otherwise in writing, Contractor must continue to perform its obligations in accordance with the Statement of Work pending negotiation and execution of a Change Notice. Each party is responsible for its own costs and expenses of preparing, evaluating, negotiating, and otherwise processing any Change Request, Change Proposal, and Change Notice.
v. The performance of any functions, activities, tasks, obligations, roles and responsibilities comprising the Services as described in this Contract are considered part of the Services and, thus, will not be considered a Change.
This includes the delivery of all Deliverables in accordance with their respective specifications, and the diagnosis and correction of non-conformities discovered in Deliverables prior to their Acceptance by the State or, subsequent to their Acceptance by the State, as necessary for Contractor to fulfill its associated warranty requirements under this Contract.
vi. Contractor may, on its own initiative and at its own expense, prepare and submit its own Change Request to the State. However, the State will be under no obligation to approve or otherwise respond to a Change Request initiated by Contractor.
(j) Offshore Resources are not permitted under this Contract.
4. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Contract must be in writing and will be considered given and received: (a) when verified by written receipt if sent by courier; (b) when actually received if sent by mail without verification of receipt; or (c) when verified by automated receipt or electronic logs if sent by facsimile or email.

1. Open-Source Components and Third-Party Components Licenses.
A Deliverable may incorporate Open-Source Components or Third- Party Components (“Components”) that are acquired by the State.
These Components are not proprietary to Contractor and are not licensed, sold, or otherwise transferrable under this Agreement by Contractor.

Contractor hereby grants to the State such rights and licenses with respect to the Contractor Pre-Existing Work included in a Deliverable that will allow the State to use and otherwise exploit perpetually throughout the universe for all or any purposes whatsoever Contractor Pre-Existing Works included in Deliverables, to the same extent as if the State owned the Contractor Pre-Existing Works, without incurring any fees or costs to Contractor (other than the Fees set forth under this Contract) or any other Person in respect of the Contractor Pre-Existing Works. In furtherance of the foregoing, such rights and licenses will:
i. be irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid-up and royalty-free;

c. For clarity, this license grant does not give the State the right to extract Contractor Pre-Existing Works from the Deliverable in order to use Contractor Pre-Existing Works independent of the Deliverable. Nothing in the Contract will be construed to transfer ownership of any Contractor Pre- Existing Works to the State.
3. Contractor represents and warrants that it owns all Contractor Pre- Existing Works.
9. Assignment. Contractor may not assign this Contract to any of its rights or delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder, voluntarily, or involuntarily, whether by merger (regardless of whether it is the surviving or disappearing entity), conversion, consolidation, dissolution, or operation of law to any other party without the prior written approval of the State. Upon notice to Contractor, the State, in its sole discretion, may assign in whole or in part, its rights or responsibilities under this Contract to any other governmental entity if such assignment is made reasonably necessary by operation of controlling law or regulation. If the State determines that a novation of the Contract to a State government third party is necessary, Contractor will agree to the novation and provide all necessary documentation and signatures.
10. Change of Control. Contractor will notify the State, within 30 days of any public announcement, or otherwise once legally permitted to do so, of a change in control. For purposes of this Contract, a change in control means any of the following: (a) a sale of more than 50% of Contractor’s stock; (b) a sale of substantially all of Contractor’s assets; (c) a change in a majority of Contractor’s board members; (d) consummation of a merger or consolidation of Contractor with any other entity; (e) a change in ownership through a transaction or series of transactions;
(f) or the board (or the stockholders) approves a plan of complete liquidation. A change of control does not include any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of Contractor, or any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes.
In the event of a change in control, Contractor must require the successor to assume this Contract and all of its obligations under this Contract.
11. Acceptance. Unless otherwise provided in a Statement of Work, this Section shall control acceptance of all Services and Deliverables. Services and Deliverables are subject to inspection and testing by the State within 30 calendar days of the State’s receipt of them (“State Review Period”). If the Services and Deliverables are not fully accepted by the State, the State will notify Contractor by the end of the State Review Period in writing that either: (a) the Services or Deliverables are accepted, but noted deficiencies must be corrected; or (b) the Services or Deliverables are rejected. If the State finds material deficiencies, it may: (i) reject the Services or Deliverables without performing any further inspections; (ii) demand performance at no additional cost; or (iii) terminate a Statement of Work in accordance with Section 14, Termination for Cause.
Within 10 Business Days from the date of Contractor’s receipt of notification of acceptance with deficiencies or rejection of any Services or Deliverables, Contractor must cure, at no additional cost, the deficiency and deliver acceptable Services or Deliverables to the State. If acceptance with deficiencies or rejection of the Services or Deliverables impacts the content or delivery of other non-completed Services or Deliverables, the parties must determine an agreed to number of days for re-submission that minimizes the overall impact to the Contract. However, nothing herein affects, alters, or relieves Contractor of its obligations to correct deficiencies in accordance with the time response standards set forth in this Contract.
If Contractor is unable or refuses to correct the deficiency within the time response standards set forth in this Contract, the State may cancel the Statement of Work in whole or in part.
12. Terms of Payment. Invoices must conform to the requirements set forth in the Statement of Work. All undisputed amounts are payable within 45 days of the State’s receipt. Contractor may only charge for Services and Deliverables performed as specified in this Contract. Invoices must include an itemized statement of all charges. The State is exempt from State sales tax for direct purchases and may be exempt from federal excise tax, if Services and Deliverables purchased under this Contract are for the State’s exclusive use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all prices are exclusive of taxes, and Contractor is responsible for all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by the State under this Contract.
The State has the right to withhold payment of any disputed amounts until the parties agree as to the validity of the disputed amount. The State will notify Contractor of any dispute within a reasonable time. Payment by the State will not constitute a waiver of any rights as to Contractor’s continuing obligations, including claims for deficiencies or substandard Services or Deliverables. Contractor’s acceptance of final payment by the State constitutes a waiver of all claims by Contractor against the State for payment under this Contract, other than those claims previously filed in writing on a timely basis and still disputed.
The State will only disburse payments under this Contract through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Contractor must register with the State at http://www.michigan.gov/SIGMAVSS to receive electronic fund transfer payments. If Contractor does not register, the State is not liable for failure to provide payment.
Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, the State reserves the right to set off at any time any amount then due and owing to it by Contractor under this Contract against any amount payable by the State to Contractor under this Contract.
Throughout the Term, all Pricing set forth in this Contract will be as set forth in Schedule B- Pricing Schedule and will not be increased.

The State will provide Contractor a written stop work order detailing the suspension (a “Stop Work Order”). Contractor must comply with the Stop Work Order upon receipt. Within 90 calendar days, or any longer period agreed to by Contractor, the State will either: (a) issue a notice authorizing Contractor to resume work, or (b) terminate the Statement of Work. The State will not pay for Services or Deliverables, Contractor’s lost profits, or any additional compensation during a stop work period.
The parties will agree upon an equitable adjustment through the Change Control Process to (i) extend the milestone dates under the Statement of Work, and (ii) adjust Contractor Personnel staffing requirements, if as a result of the Stop Work Order, Contractor is unable to timely meet all or any remaining milestones under the Statement of Work or its staffing of the project is affected by such Stop Work Order. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section, Contractor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to meet the milestone dates specified in the Statement of Work without any extension. After the stop work period has ended and when Services have commenced, 60 days will be required to establish a baselining period in order to reset and/or reconfirm service level metrics.
