The address of either party may be changed by written notice to the other. Any notice of either party shall be deemed to have been given and received within thirty-six (36) hours after the same has been mailed in the manner set forth herein. The foregoing shall not be deemed to preclude the use of other means of notification other than oral or to invalidate any notice properly given by any such other means other than oral.

E) The whole and entire agreement between Midwest Service Center and Contractor is set forth in this Agreement and the parties are not bound by any agreements, understandings or conditions otherwise than as expressly set forth and stipulated hereunder; and this Agreement may not be changed or modified in any manner other than by a Change Notice to this Agreement mutually signed by the parties hereto.

  1. INSPECTION

    A) All parts of the work shall, throughout the time of performance of this Agreement, be subject to inspection and test by Midwest Service Center or such of its agents, employees, or representative as it may designate. The contractor shall provide all such persons with safe and proper facilities for access to and inspection of the work both at the work site or other source of supply where any equipment, material or other part of it may be located. The Contractor shall give Midwest Service Center notice of the readiness of the work or any part of it for any special inspection or test which may be required by this Agreement or by any applicable law or public regulation. Midwest Service Center shall make all of its inspection and tests in such manner as not to delay the work unduly. No part of the work as to which any specific inspection is required shall be covered up until such inspection has been completed. If such work is covered, then it shall be uncovered and replaced at the Contractor’s expense. B) No inspection, failure to inspect, or waiver of inspection on the part of Midwest Service Center or anyone acting on its behalf shall relieve the Contractor of its duty to complete the work in full accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Should it appear at any time prior to final inspection and final payment whether as a result of any inspections or test or otherwise, that any part of the work is defective or does not conform to the requirements of this Agreement, Midwest Service Center shall with respect to any such defective or non-conforming work or any separate part thereof have the right, at its election, to: 1) Require the Contractor, within such reasonable time as may be fixed by Midwest Service Center and at the Contractor’s sole expense, to correct such work or part, to remove from the site all defective or non-conforming materials and equipment, and to make good all property and work of Midwest Service Center or of any other contractor which may have been damaged by the defective or non conforming work or part by the removal or replacement of the same; 2) Perform or have performed all work necessary for the accomplishment of the results stated in the work of this Agreement and withhold or recover from the Contractor the cost of such work; or 3) Accept the defective or non-conforming work or part upon the making of an equitable reduction in the Agreement price. All punch list items shall be resolved to Midwest Service Center’s satisfaction and fully complete prior to acceptance of the work and final payment.
  2. TERMS OF PAYMENT

    A) Payment shall be made only upon receipt of satisfactory invoice detailing the request for payment and only when Midwest Service Center is able to determine that the work and services have been performed in accordance with this Agreement. Any such payment(s), including final payment, shall not relieve the Contractor of any remedies Midwest Service Center may have in regard to this Agreement. B) Approved invoices shall be paid by check issued in U.S. dollars ($) and mailed to the address indicated on the invoice within forty five (45) days from the date of the invoice. Unapproved invoices will be returned to the Contractor for reissue when appropriate and/or corrected.

Contractor shall provide sufficient labor, material, services, management forces, plant and equipment working such hours, including night shift, overtime, weekends and holidays as may be required by Midwest Service Center to assure compliance with the established schedule and/or completion date. B) Should the Contractor be delayed in the performance of the work by any act or omission on the part of Midwest Service Center, act of God, or other cause beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, shortage of materials or equipment (providing the contractor has ordered all necessary material and equipment at the proper times and used reasonable effort to obtain delivery of such materials and equipment at the time and in the order required to carry on the work properly), strike or similar obstructive action by employees or labor organizations, fire, flood, earthquake, or civil disturbance, Midwest Service Center will upon the written request of the Contractor and by written change order, extend the time of completion for a period equal to the length of such delay. No such extension shall be made, however, unless the Contractor shall within five (5) days after the beginning of such delay, have given Midwest Service Center written notice of the delay and the cause thereof. In the event of any extension of the total time of completion, as provided herein, corresponding adjustments shall be made in any schedules which are a part of this Agreement. The extension of the time for completion of the work, in the manner provided above, shall constitute the sole relief to which the Contractor is entitled by reason of any delay, and the Contractor shall make no claim for additional compensation or damages by reason of any delay.

  1. OWNERSHIP

    A) Contractor shall make prompt and complete disclosure to Midwest Service Center of all inventions and discoveries made or conceived, alone or with others while this Agreement is in effect, or within three (3) years thereafter, which arise out of or relate to the work and services rendered under this Agreement.

C) Title to all work completed or in the course of completion and to all materials on account of which any payment has been made shall be deemed transferred to Midwest Service Center, but this shall not limit or affect Midwest Service Center’s right to require the correction of defective or non-conforming work or relieve the Contractor of any obligation arising under this Agreement. D) In the event payments are made by Midwest Service Center prior to completion, Contractor shall execute and deliver such security agreements, financing statements and other documents as may be deemed necessary by Midwest Service Center to protect its rights herein. E) In the performance of the work and services hereunder, the Contractor shall act solely as an independent contractor and nothing herein contained or implied will at any time be so construed as to create the relationship of employer and employee, partnership, principal and agent, or joint adventurer as between Midwest Service Center and Contractor. Contractor shall provide control, supervision, direction and take responsibility for any work performed under this Agreement. The manner and method of implementing and

Frm-ADM-028 Rev 01-Revised 05/02/12-Exhibit B Page 1 of 4

The Contractor shall, from time to time, at Midwest Service Center’s request and in any event prior to final payment, furnish to Midwest Service Center such receipts, releases, affidavits, certificates and other evidence as may be necessary to establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Midwest Service Center that no lien, claim or encumbrance against Midwest Service Center’s property (and/or any property of a third party) or right to file any such lien, claim or encumbrance exists in favor of any person whomsoever for or by reason of any material furnished, labor performed, or other thing done in connection with the performance of work and services under this Agreement. G) Upon termination, including expiration of term or completion of work, Contractor shall immediately surrender and return to Midwest Service Center all information, equipment, furnishings, supplies or other property of Midwest Service Center in the same good order and condition as when received by Contractor with reasonable wear and tear expected.

All changes shall, except in the case of emergencies endangering the safety of persons or property, be made in writing. The Contractor shall promptly comply with any and all written Change Notices.

Any claims of the Contractor for such adjustments shall, except in the case of emergency changes as described herein, be made prior to the Contractor’s commencement of performance of the changes on which they are based and shall, if not made prior to such time, be conclusively deemed to have been waived.
