Transfer Contractor shall not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of DAS SPS. DAS SPS’s consent to any subcontract (or other delegation of duties) does not relieve Contractor of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of each of the parties, and, except as otherwise provided, their permitted legal successors and assigns.

Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which is an original, and all of which together are deemed one and the same instrument, notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same counterpart.

DAS SPS may terminate this Agreement upon written notice after determining such delay or default will reasonably prevent successful performance of this Agreement.

In the event of any such delay, Contractor’s obligations are suspended to the extent of and for the duration of such cause. However, Contractor shall take all good faith efforts to eliminate the cause of any such delay, and upon the cessation of such cause, shall resume performance of Contractor’s obligations with all reasonable diligence. If necessary, the period for performance under this Agreement will be extended to enable Contractor, once such causes have been removed, to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

Authorized Purchasers are intended beneficiaries of the Agreement.

Waiver The failure of DAS SPS to enforce any provision of this Agreement or the waiver of any violation or nonperformance of this Agreement in one instance does not constitute a waiver by DAS SPS of that or any other provision nor is it a waiver of any subsequent violation or nonperformance.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Contract, any subcontractors performing work for Contractor under this Contract have assigned their rights in the Goods and Services to Contractor sufficient to fulfill the complete delivery of Goods and Services under this Contract and Authorized Purchaser’s usage and enjoyment, and no third party has any undisclosed right, title or interest in any Goods or Services supplied to Authorized Purchaser under this Contract.

Warranty on Specifications Contractor represents and warrants that all Goods and Services are in compliance with and meet or exceed all specifications in Exhibit A to the Agreement.

Manufacturer Warranties Contractor shall have all manufacturer warranties covering the Goods and component parts, if any, transferred to Authorized Purchaser at time of delivery at no charge.

Warranties are Cumulative Contractor’s warranties provided in this Section 2.11 are in addition to and not in lieu of any other warranties provided elsewhere in the Contract. All warranties provided for in this Contract are cumulative, will be deemed consistent and not in conflict, are intended to be given full force and effect and to be interpreted expansively to give the broadest warranty protection to Authorized Purchaser.

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND STANDARDS

Contractor shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, regulations, and ordinances applicable to this Contract as they may be adopted or amended from time to time.

Noncompliance In the event of a conflict between the specifications in this Contract and applicable federal or State law, the law prevails over the specifications. Contractor shall make any modifications required to achieve compliance with law. When Contractor is notified or becomes aware of any required modifications, Contractor shall immediately notify Authorized Purchaser.

FOREIGN CONTRACTOR

If the amount of the Contract exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), and if Contractor is not domiciled in or registered to do business in the State, Contractor shall promptly provide to the Oregon Department of Revenue all information required by that Department relative to the Contract. Authorized Purchaser may withhold final payment under the Contract until Contractor has met this requirement.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

Time is of the essence for Contractor’s performance obligations under this Contract.

FORCE MAJEURE

Neither party will be in default under this Contract for nonperformance that is caused by an extraordinary event or circumstance (other than an increase in costs, or other change in general economic conditions), whether or not foreseeable, resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of the party claiming a force majeure event. The obligations of the party claiming force majeure are suspended to the extent of and for the duration of such event; however:

If a force majeure event causes Contractor to allocate limited resources among its customers, Contractor will not prioritize other customers over Authorized Purchaser.

Contractor must demonstrate it has made reasonable efforts to perform, and that the delay or inability to perform is not due to its failure to protect itself against events or circumstances of the same type as the force majeure event, or its failure to develop and maintain a reasonable contingency plan to respond to events or circumstances of the same type as the claimed force majeure event. Contractor shall make all good faith efforts to eliminate the cause of any such delay, and upon the cessation of such cause resume performance of its obligations with all reasonable diligence.

Nothwithstanding this provision, Authorized Purchaser may terminate this Contract under Section 2.19 after determining any delay associated with a claim of force majeure by either party will reasonably prevent successful performance under this Contract within a timeframe acceptable to Authorized Purchaser.

Independent Contractor Status; Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding Contractor is an independent contractor. Although Authorized Purchaser reserves the right (i) to determine (and modify) the delivery schedule for the Goods and related Services and (ii) to evaluate the quality of completed performance, Authorized Purchaser cannot and will not control the means or manner of Contractor’s performance. Contractor is responsible for determining the appropriate means and manner of performing any obligations required by this Contract.

Contractor is responsible for all federal and state taxes applicable to compensation or payments paid to Contractor under this Contract and, unless Contractor is subject to backup withholding, Authorized Purchaser will not withhold from such compensation or payments any amount(s) to cover Contractor’s federal or state tax obligations. Contractor is not eligible for any social security, unemployment insurance or workers’ compensation benefits from compensation or payments paid to Contractor under this Contract, except as a self-employed individual.
