3. Term & Survivability of Customer Agreements Upon mutual agreement by the Winning Supplier and Program Participant any supplemental agreement agreed to between the Program Participant and the Winning Supplier through this Master Agreement may have its contract term extend past the then current expiration date of the Master Agreement.

Upon termination of the Master Agreement by mutual consent or for a material uncured breach by a Lead Public Agency or Equalis Group, all Customer Agreements entered into with Program Participant shall remain in effect until their completion, natural expiration, or termination thereof, and Winning Supplier shall immediately cease all marketing and sales of Products & Services to any Program Participant under and through the terms of this Master Agreement.

Upon termination of this Agreement for Winning Supplier’s uncured material breach, all Customer Agreements entered into with Program Participant shall immediately terminate, and Winning Supplier shall immediately cease all marketing and sales of Products & Services to any Program Participant under and through the terms of the Master Agreement. Following the date of termination, the Lead Public Agency, Equalis, and Winning Supplier shall not be precluded from transitioning individuals, businesses, and entities that were Program Participants when this Master Agreement was in effect to another agreement or other Equalis Group supplier partner.

4. Award Basis The basis of any contract award resulting from this solicitation made by Gwinnett County Public Schools will, at Equalis Group’s option, be the basis of award on a national level through Equalis Group.
