Confidential- WG/FEI Master Service Agreement-Page 14 of 54

they will be conducted, and how records will be audited and retained, including confirmation of all positive test results by a) a second methodology utilizing Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GS/MS) and b) a medical review officer.

The performance of four types of controlled substance tests:

(i) Prequalification controlled substance and alcohol testing is a requirement for all applicants intended for hire or transfer into performing or managing safety sensitive employees. Prospective employees must submit to a pre-qualification (NIDA 10 panel) test as well as a test that complies with the requirements of U.S. Department of Transportation 49 CFR parts 40, 199 and 382, hereinafter “DOT substance test” for the use of controlled substances, including alcohol, not greater than thirty (30) days before the applicant is to begin operating heavy equipment. Prior to collection of a urine sample, the applicant shall be notified that the sample will be tested for the presence of controlled substances. Applicants who provide a sample that test positive will be prohibited from providing Services under this agreement.

(ii) Reasonable cause controlled substance and alcohol (DOT substance test) testing protocol to be implemented when conduct witnessed by a supervisor or company official is indicative of the use of a controlled substance. All supervisors of Personnel operating heavy equipment shall be trained in the identification of actions, appearance, or conduct that is indicative of the use of a controlled substance. Where such behavior has been observed, a supervisor shall transport such Personnel to the collection site within two (2) hours of the witnessing of indicative behavior. Refusal to submit to the test should result in removal from operating heavy equipment. While awaiting the test results and confirmation from the medical review officer, such Personnel should be removed from providing Services under this agreement.

(iii) Post incidence controlled substance and alcohol (Department of Transportation (DOT) substance test) tests shall be conducted at the direction and upon notification from WG. The decision to test is based upon the conclusion that the Personnel’s actions cannot be ruled out as a contributing factor to an incident. Upon such notification, a supervisor will escort such Personnel to the closest testing facility as soon as possible, but no later than two (2) hours of the notification. A refusal by such Personnel to submit to the test should be treated as a positive test. Such Personnel should be prohibited from operating heavy equipment for a refusal or until the results are received from the medical review officer. Any positive result should result in removal from providing Services under this agreement.

(iv) Random controlled substance (DOT substance test) testing will be conducted quarterly and administered at a fifty percent (50%) annualized rate so that during any twelve (12) month period the number of tests conducted will

Confidential- WG/FEI Master Service Agreement-Page 15 of 54

be equal to half of the total pool of covered Personnel Personnel operating heavy equipment will be subject to random testing at any time with no advance notice. The random selection process will ensure each Personnel the same fair and equal chance of being selected. Personnel randomly selected will be notified by his/her supervisor of the selection and instructed to immediately go to the designated collection site. Failure to submit to a random test should be treated as a positive test and Personnel should be removed from providing services under this agreement. Positive results confirmed by the medical review officer should result in such Personnel being removed from providing services under this agreement.

(v) In the event that WG changes its requirements for drug and alcohol testing, such change shall be dealt with under Article 11 of the Agreement.

Record Retention

Integrated Supplier will retain the following records for a period of at least five (5) years:

(1)

Records of Personnel tested, by type of test, and the results of each test;

(2)

Documentation of Personnel that refuse to take required controlled substance and alcohol tests;

(3)

Confirmed positive drug test results that show that Personnel failed a drug test; this record will also include: (a) the prohibited drug used; and (b). disposition of the Personnel (i.e., termination, reassignment);

Integrated Supplier will retain records confirming supervisory and Personnel training described in 3(ii) above for at least three (3) years.

(iii) Other: Additional background check and screening requirements may be set forth in a Statement of Work.

In the event that any part of this program is not permitted by applicable Law without consent. Integrated Supplier shall endeavor to obtain the appropriate consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Integrated Supplier shall: (x) assign sufficient Personnel at any given time to operate heavy equipment and (y) prevent any Personnel that has not undergone the foregoing screening program specified above from operating heavy equipment.

12.2 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Article 12 is intended to provide to any employee of either Party or the Personnel any benefit or right, or entitle any such employee or the Personnel to any claim, cause of action, remedy, or right of any kind, the intent of the Parties being that nothing in this Article 12 shall be deemed to create any obligations of either Party to any employee of either Party or the Personnel or to create any right to any employee of either Party or the Personnel.

Notwithstanding Section 12.4.1.1, WG’s consent shall be required for Integrated Supplier to subcontract with any person or entity (other than Integrated Supplier’s Affiliates) contracted with exclusively to provide services to WG, or to provide Products and Services that are expressly identified in a Statement of Work as requiring WG’s consent for subcontracting (which consent shall be at WG’s sole discretion only to the extent expressly stated in the Statement of Work). WG’s consent with respect to any subcontracting shall not relieve Integrated Supplier of its responsibility for the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or constitute WG’s consent to further subcontracting. In assigning subcontractors to provide the Services for which WG’s prior written consent is required, Integrated Supplier shall first obtain WG’s written approval and shall further represent to WG that such subcontractors are qualified to provide, and are experienced in providing, the Services to which they are assigned. To the extent WG’s

Confidential- WG/FEI Master Service Agreement-Page 17 of 54

consent for such subcontractors is required under this Agreement, WG approves the subcontractors set forth in the applicable Statement of Work, but only with respect to the specific portions of the Services to be subcontracted to such subcontractor as set forth in the Statement of Work.

12.4.1.3 Reassignment or Removal by Integrated Supplier.

12.4.1.4 Reassignment or Removal at WG’s Request. WG shall have the right: (i) to approve or disapprove the use of proposed subcontractors for which WG’s prior written consent is required; and (ii) to request the removal or revoke its prior approval of a subcontractor for which WG’s prior written consent was required due to violations of WG written policies and procedures provided to Integrated Supplier including but not limited to the Code of Conduct, security and safely policies; provided however, that WG agrees to relieve Integrated Supplier from its obligations to meet applicable Service Levels for a reasonable period of time to the extent impairment is caused by such discontinuance and to reimburse Integrated Supplier for termination charges (if any) Integrated Supplier is required to pay such subcontractor to terminate its agreement with Integrated Supplier and other reasonable fees associated with such transition, so long as Integrated Supplier uses efforts to mitigate such impairment and to avoid such termination charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, WG shall have the right to terminate any subcontractor that is an entity, without payment of any related charges, if WG has the right (whether or not such right is exercised) to terminate this Agreement, or the applicable Statement of Work, as a result of the acts or omissions of such subcontractor.

12.4.2 Third Party Services. Notwithstanding Section 12.4.1.1, Integrated Supplier may, without WG’s consent, subcontract or obtain services that are not designated as critical functions for the Services in the applicable Statement of Work.

12.4.3 Integrated Supplier’s Responsibility for Subcontractors. With respect to any obligations of Integrated Supplier under this Agreement performed by subcontractors. Integrated Supplier shall remain responsible for such obligations in addition to subcontractor compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent Integrated Supplier would be responsible for its own compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Integrated Supplier shall not disclose to any subcontractor, or any third party supplier under a Integrated Supplier Third Party Supplier Agreement, any of WG’s Confidential Information unless and until such subcontractor, vendor or supplier has a need to know such Confidential Information and

Confidential- WG/FEI Master Service Agreement-Page 18 of 54

has agreed in writing to protect the confidentiality of such information in a manner that is equivalent to that required of Integrated Supplier by Article 15. Integrated Supplier shall be responsible as WG’s sole point of contact regarding the Services.

13. Audit and Inspection Rights. WG may conduct audits of Integrated Supplier as set forth in Appendix 5.

14.2 Implementation of Business Continuity Plan. Upon the occurrence of a Disaster and as part of the Charges, Integrated Supplier shall implement the Business Continuity Plan in accordance with Appendix 9. The occurrence of a Disaster (including any Force Majeure Event) will not relieve Integrated Supplier of its obligation to implement the Business Continuity Plan and to provide disaster recovery Services. If the Services are not restored within the period specified in the Business Continuity Plan, and to the extent such failure to restore Services is attributable to Integrated Supplier’s failure to comply with the Business Continuity Plan. WG may terminate the applicable Statement of Work for cause pursuant to Section 23.1.2.

14.3 Testing of Business Continuity Plan. Each Statement of Work shall set forth the frequency with which Integrated Supplier must, at its own expense, test the Business Continuity Plan, but in no event shall such tests be conducted less frequently than annually.

15. Confidentiality.

15.1 Duty of Confidentiality. Each Party acknowledges that it may, in the course of performing its responsibilities under this Agreement, be exposed to, or acquire.

15.2 Exclusions to Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that Recipient can show: (i) was or has later become available to the public through no breach of this Agreement; (ii) was obtained from a third party who rightfully received the information without the obligation of confidentiality; (iii) was already in the Recipient’s possession prior to direct or indirect disclosure pursuant to this Agreement, the Request for Information or the Request for Proposal: or (iv) was independently developed by Recipient without reference to the Confidential Information of Discloser.

15.3 Permitted Disclosures.
