Vendor Services Contract

This contract is between the State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation, an Oregon independent public corporation dba SAIF Corporation (“SAIF”), and <<contractor name>> (“Contractor”).

The parties agree as follows:

1 Statement of Work Contractor shall provide the services described in the Statement of

Work attached as Exhibit A (the “Services”).

2 Consideration

2.1 As payment in full for the Services and subject to the terms of this contract, SAIF shall pay Contractor as set forth in Exhibit A. SAIF shall reimburse Contractor for travel-related and other expenses only to the extent provided in Exhibit A.

2.2 SAIF is not required to pay Contractor for any Services, unless the Services are complete, conform to the specifications in the Statement of Work and otherwise conform to the warranty and other terms of this contract.

2.3 The maximum, not-to-exceed amount payable to Contractor under this contract is $

<<Maximum Payment>>. Contractor shall not submit invoices for, and SAIF is not required to pay, any amount in excess of this amount, unless the contract is amended to permit additional compensation. If this maximum amount is increased by amendment of this contract, the amendment must be signed by both parties before Contractor performs any Services subject to the amendment.

3 Term This contract is effective when it has been signed by both parties and expires on

<<Contract End Date>>, unless otherwise extended under section 17 or terminated under section 12 or section 15.

4 Confidentiality

4.1 Contractor shall protect confidential information from unauthorized disclosure and use. “Confidential Information” means any information about an injured worker, a SAIF-insured employer, a SAIF employee or SAIF’s information and security systems obtained by

Contractor or its employees or agents in the performance of this contract. Contractor shall not use Confidential Information for purposes other than those directly related to the purposes of this contract. Contractor shall not disclose Confidential Information to third parties without SAIF's prior written consent. Contractor may disclose confidential information to Contractor’s employees or consultants only as permitted by this contract, and only on a “need-to-know” basis, and only after the employee or consultant has agreed to be bound by all of the terms of this contract related to the nondisclosure of information. The limited disclosure right granted in the preceding sentence does not constitute a grant of ownership or license rights in any Confidential Information.

4.2 Contractor acknowledges that the disclosure by Contractor of any confidential information will immediately give rise to continuing irreparable injury to SAIF and others that is inadequately compensable in damages at law. Accordingly, and without prejudice to any other remedy available to SAIF, SAIF may seek injunctive relief for Contractor’s disclosure of confidential information.

4.3 Contractor’s obligations with respect to confidentiality survive termination of the contract.

5 Independent Contractor/Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding

5.1 Contractor shall perform all Services as an independent contractor. Contractor has no authority to incur or create any obligation for or to legally bind SAIF in any way. SAIF may (a) determine and modify the delivery schedule for the Services and (b) evaluate the quality of the completed performance; however, SAIF shall not control the means or manner of

Contractor's performance. Contractor shall determine the appropriate means and manner of performing the Services.

5.2 Nothing in this contract is intended to make Contractor an “officer,” “employee,” or

“agent” of SAIF, as those terms are used in Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 30.265.

5.3 Contractor shall pay all taxes applicable to payments made to Contractor under this contract and, unless Contractor is subject to backup withholding, SAIF is not required to, and will not, withhold any amounts from these payments to cover Contractor's tax obligations.

Contractor is not eligible for any social security, unemployment insurance, or workers' compensation benefits from payments made to Contractor under this contract, except as a self-employed individual.

6.1 Contractor will perform the Services in a timely and workmanlike manner using qualified personnel acting in accordance with applicable professional standards.

6.2 All Services conform to the specifications, capabilities, characteristics, functions, and performance standards in the Statement of Work, are free from error or defect that materially impairs use, and are free from defects in materials, workmanship, and design

(except to the extent that the design is dictated by SAIF).

6.4 Contractor is qualified to do business in the State of Oregon and has the authority to enter into this contract. Contractor possesses all required professional licenses to perform its obligations under this contract, and failure to maintain any such licenses shall constitute a material breach. This contract constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Contractor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

6.5 If Contractor is currently employed by the State of Oregon or the federal government, Contractor’s performance under this contract creates no potential or actual conflict of interest as defined by ORS Chapter 244 and no rules or regulations of

Contractor’s employing agency (state or federal) prohibit Contractor’s activities under this contract.

6.6 Contractor has no interest, and will not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, that would conflict with its obligation to perform under this contract.

7 Subcontracts/Assignment/Successors in Interest

7.1 Contractor shall not assign or transfer any rights in this contract, or delegate any duties, without first obtaining SAIF's prior written consent, which consent may not unreasonably be withheld. However, upon written notice to SAIF Contractor may assign its rights in this contract and delegate its duties under it to a successor to Contractor’s business by (a) merger, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of Contractor’s assets relating to this contract, or (c) a sale of a controlling interest of Contractor’s capital stock, as long as

Page 5 of 14 Version 4-18

7.2 Contractor shall not enter into any subcontracts for delivery of any of the Services without SAIF’s prior written consent. SAIF’s consent to any subcontract does not relieve

8 Access to Records

8.1 Contractor shall maintain all financial records relating to the subject matter of this contract in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition, Contractor shall maintain any other records, books, documents, papers, plans, or writings pertinent to this contract in such a manner as to document clearly Contractor's performance of its duties under this contract. Contractor shall retain and keep accessible all such financial records, books, documents, papers, plans, and writings for a minimum of six years, or such longer period as may be required under applicable law, following final payment and termination of this contract, or until the conclusion of any audit, controversy, or litigation arising out of or related to this contract, whichever date is later.

8.2 Contractor shall permit SAIF, the Oregon Secretary of State's Office, and the federal government, and their duly authorized representatives access to, and allow them to make excerpts and transcripts of, Contractor’s financial records, books, documents, papers, plans, and writings, for the purpose of auditing Contractor’s performance of its duties under this

The State of Oregon and its agencies are intended beneficiaries of this obligation to indemnify.

9.2 SAIF shall provide prompt written notice to Contractor of any claim for which indemnification is expected.

9.3 Contractor’s obligation to indemnify under this section 9 survives termination of the

10 Reserved

11 Insurance Contractor shall obtain, from an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of Oregon, and shall maintain for the duration of this contract including any extensions, and for any period of Contractor liability continuing after termination of the contract, all of the insurance set forth in the attached Exhibit B. SAIF must be named as an additional insured under all commercial general liability and automobile liability policies required under the contract.

12 Termination

12.1 This contract may be terminated by mutual consent of both parties, or by either party upon 30 days' notice to the other party, in writing and delivered by certified mail or in person.

12.2 Termination of this contract does not discharge either party from any obligations or liabilities already accrued prior to termination or any claim based on any breach of this contract occurring prior to termination, including any breach of a Contractor warranty or any default or defect in Contractor performance that has not been cured. The rights and

Page 6 of 14 Version 4-18 remedies of each party under this section are not exclusive, and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract.

13 Controlling Law/Venue This contract is to be construed according to the laws of the

State of Oregon without regard to principles of conflicts of law, and applicable federal law.

Any action or suit brought by the parties relating to this contract must be brought and conducted exclusively in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Marion County in

Salem, Oregon or, if a claim must be brought in a federal forum, in the United States

District Court for the District of Oregon. Contractor hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of these courts, waives any objection to venue in these courts, and waives any claim that either forum is an inconvenient forum. Neither this section nor any other term of this contract may be construed as a waiver by SAIF or the State of Oregon of any form of defense or immunity, including sovereign immunity, governmental immunity, immunity based on the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or otherwise, from any claim or from the jurisdiction of any court.

14 Force Majeure Neither party is responsible for delay or default caused by fire, riot, acts of God, war, terrorism, or other similar events beyond a party's reasonable control.

15 Severability If any term of this contract is determined, to any extent, to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties intend that the remainder of this contract not be affected, and each remaining term of this contract be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any invalid or unenforceable term is to be replaced by a mutually acceptable term which, being valid and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid or unenforceable term. If deletion or replacement of the invalid or unenforceable term materially changes this contract or causes completion of either party’s obligations to be unreasonable, either party may terminate this contract without further obligation or liability upon written notice to the other party.

16 Waiver The failure of either party to enforce any term of this contract does not constitute a waiver by that party of that or any other term.

17 Amendment This contract may not be supplemented, extended, or amended, in any manner whatsoever, except by written instrument signed by the parties.

18 No Third-Party Beneficiaries SAIF and Contractor are the only parties to this contract and the only persons who may enforce this contract. Nothing in this contract gives or is intended to give, any benefit or right to third persons unless these persons are individually identified by name and expressly described as intended beneficiaries of this contract. Except as otherwise stated in this contract, the State of Oregon and its agencies are not intended beneficiaries of this contract.

(Insert: special terms applicable to this contract.)

General [on-site] Facilities Requirements.

As a workers’ compensation carrier, SAIF knows that accidents can happen. If an accident that results in the release and/or exposure of OPIM (defined as blood or “other potentially infectious materials”) occur, Contractor shall immediately notify SAIF’s

Facilities Services Supervisor with details as to the location, date, and time of the release of OPIM, so that SAIF may take corrective actions to limit potential exposure to others. Contractor’s failure to report such incidents may be construed as a breach of contract. Contractor must ensure its staff is trained annually in the proper use of personal protective equipment, and safe materials handling.

Contractor shall schedule all Services in advance with SAIF’s Facilities Services

Supervisor and shall check-in and out at each visit with a member of SAIF’s Facilities staff. Contractor shall perform the Services outside normal business hours of 7:30 a.m.

Contractor shall remove and properly dispose of all trash and debris generated by

Contractor’s employees or agents may not use tobacco products or any form of smokeless devices while they are on SAIF-owned or SAIF-controlled campuses.

Examples of prohibited products implicated in this policy include, but are not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes, vaporizers, and smokeless tobacco.

Page 10 of 14 Version 4-18

Contractor shall supply Safety Data Sheets (“SDS”) to SAIF Facilities for all new or replacement materials Contractor proposes to use prior to using them. SAIF shall make available to Contractor all SDS for hazardous substances that SAIF has placed on or about the facilities in which Contractor may be working.

Vendor Identification and Facility Security:

If provided to Contractor by SAIF, Contractor’s employees or agents must use a SAIF-issued access card and swipe it each time they enter SAIF buildings. Contractor’s employees or agents shall follow these procedures while on SAIF premises:

• If you have forgotten your badge, please report to reception to get a temporary badge after 8:00 a.m. Do not ask a SAIF employee to let you in.

• If you have lost your badge, reach out to your SAIF contact for a replacement.

• Contractor’s employees or agents shall not prop secure doors open or allow others to follow them into any entrances without swiping their own access card to enter any of SAIF’s buildings.

• If you see someone gain access to the building who does not have an access card, ask them to show you one. If they don’t have one, please escort them to reception, or contact your SAIF representative to come do so.

• When you enter or exit the building, make sure the doors shut completely behind you.

• Only use the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) door operator, when necessary, not as a tool of convenience.

Contractor’s employees or agents, while on SAIF premises, must wear a SAIF-issued vendor identification badge, or an item of clothing or apparel that clearly identifies the name of the Contractor’s business (e.g. hat, shirt, coat, or company uniform).

SAIF will assign an access card to each of Contractor’s employees or agents that are assigned to work in SAIF’s facilities. Contractor must notify SAIF of changes to its employees or agents that will work in SAIF’s facilities prior to the employee’s start and end date and Contractor must communicate all physical security expectations to all employees.

Contractor Employees. Contractor agrees to allow SAIF to audit Contractor’s criminal background check process to ensure compliance with this section. Additionally, all

Contractor Employees have the responsibility to self-disclose any of the criminal conviction types noted above that occur during this contract. Any such disclosures must occur within three business days of the conviction. Failure of the Contractor to comply with the terms of this section shall be a material breach of the contract, and may result in the immediate termination of this, or any other, contract with SAIF.

COVID Protocol

Esteemed SAIF vendors and business partners:

As COVID-19 continues to affect our daily lives, SAIF extends its deepest sympathies to anyone who the virus has impacted negatively, either directly or indirectly. Along these lines, as a leader in Oregon Workers’ Compensation Insurance, SAIF strives to protect the health and safety of our employees, policyholders, and business partners. SAIF is proud of the steps we have taken to protect one another and our customers from COVID-

19 exposure. Unfortunately, it remains a top priority that these efforts continue.

In this regard, it is paramount that SAIF vendors and business partners do not visit SAIF facilities in person if you or an employee are feeling ill, exhibiting symptoms from, or similar to, COVID-19, or have recently tested positive for COVID-19. Likewise, if you or one of your employees has tested positive for COVID-19 after a recent in-person visit to

SAIF facilities, or with SAIF employees, it is essential that you immediately notify SAIF of the positive result so that we can take the necessary precautions to avoid further spread of COVID-19.

Thank you for your concern and cooperation. By working together, we can help diminish the spread of COVID-19 and limit the deleterious effects of its associated symptoms and illness.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. SAIF greatly appreciates your services and cooperation.
