The equipment, materials, or supplies (“Goods”) and/or services (“Services”) furnished by Supplier (together, the “Goods and
Services”) and covered by the UC Purchase Order (“PO”) and/or other agreement (which, when combined with these Terms and
Conditions and any other documents incorporated by reference, will constitute the “Agreement”) are governed by the terms
and conditions set forth herein. As used herein, the term "Supplier" includes Supplier and its sub-suppliers at any tier. As used

any proposal referred to in the Agreement are included and made a part of the Agreement only to the extent the proposal
specifies the Goods and/or Services ordered, the price therefor, and the delivery thereof, and then only to the extent that such

C. UC may, by written notice stating the extent and effective date thereof, terminate the Agreement for convenience in
whole or in part, at any time. The effective date of such termination shall be consistent with any requirements for
providing notice specified in the Agreement, or immediate if no such terms are set forth in the Agreement. As specified in
the termination notice, UC will pay Supplier as full compensation the pro rata Agreement price for performance through
the later of the date that
a. UC provided Supplier with notice of termination or
b. Supplier’s provision of Goods and/or Services will terminate.
D. UC may by written notice terminate the Agreement for Supplier’s breach of the Agreement, in whole or in part, at any
time, if Supplier refuses or fails to comply with the provisions of the Agreement, or so fails to make progress as to
endanger performance and does not cure such failure within five (5) business days, or fails to supply the Goods and/or
Services within the time specified or any written extension thereof. In such event, UC may purchase or otherwise secure
Goods and/or Services and, except as otherwise provided herein, Supplier will be liable to UC for any excess costs UC
incurs thereby.

in lieu thereof, as UC may require, and if required in either case, an affidavit that as far as it has knowledge or information, the
receipts include all the labor and materials for which a lien could be filed; but Supplier may, if any sub-supplier refuses to

stopping all or any part of the provision of the Goods and/or Services; thereafter a start order for resumption of providing
the Goods and/or Services may be issued at UC’s discretion. Supplier will not be entitled to make a claim for extension of
time or for compensation or damages by reason of or in connection with such stoppage. Supplier will have sole
responsibility for the safety of all persons employed by Supplier and its sub-suppliers on UC premises, or any other person
who enters upon UC premises for reasons relating to the Agreement. Supplier will at all times maintain good order among
its employees and all other persons who come onto UC's premises at Supplier's request and will not engage any unfit or
unskilled person to provide the Goods and/or Services. Supplier will confine its employees and all other persons who come

which UC may permit Supplier to use. Supplier will take all reasonable measures and precautions at all times to prevent
injuries to or the death of any of its employees or any other person who enters upon UC premises at Supplier’s request.

Agreement in drawings and specifications for specially manufactured Goods, place of delivery, method of shipment or
packing of the Agreement by giving notice to Supplier and subsequently confirming such changes in writing. If such
changes affect the cost of or the time required for performance of the Agreement, UC and Supplier will agree upon an
equitable adjustment in the price and/or delivery terms. Supplier may not make changes without UC’s written approval.
Any claim of Supplier for an adjustment under the Agreement must be made in writing within thirty (30) days from the

an opportunity to oppose or otherwise respond to such disclosure. To the extent Supplier still required to disclose
Institutional Information, Supplier will furnish only that portion that is legally required and will exercise all reasonable
efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded to any Confidential Institutional

ARTICLE 24 - PREVAILING WAGES
Unless UC notifies Supplier that the Services are not subject to prevailing wage requirements, Supplier will comply, and will
ensure that all sub-suppliers comply, with California prevailing wage provisions, including but not limited to those set forth in
Labor Code sections 1770, 1771, 1771.1, 1772, 1773, 1773.1, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, and 1777.6. For purposes of the
Agreement, the term “sub-supplier” means a person or firm, of all tiers, that has a contract with Supplier or with a sub-supplier
to provide a portion of the Services. The term sub-supplier will not include suppliers, manufacturers, or distributors.
Specifically, and not by way of limitation, if apprenticable occupations are involved in providing the Services, Supplier will be
responsible for ensuring that Supplier and any sub-suppliers comply with Labor Code Section 1777.5. Supplier and sub-supplier
may not provide the Services unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code Section
1725.5 and 1771.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Supplier will be solely responsible for tracking and ensuring
proper payment of prevailing wages regardless if Services are partially or wholly subject to prevailing wage requirements. In
every instance, Supplier will pay not less than the UC Fair Wage (defined as $13 per hour as of 10/1/15, $14 per hour as of
10/1/16, and $15 per hour as of 10/1/17) for Services being performed at a UC Location (defined as any location owned or
leased by UC).
The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) has ascertained the general prevailing per diem wage rates in the
locality in which the Services are to be provided for each craft, classification, or type of worker required to provide the Services.
A copy of the general prevailing per diem wage rates will be on file at each UC Location’s procurement office, and will be made
available to any interested party upon request. Supplier will post at any job site:
A. Notice of the general prevailing per diem wage rates, and
B. Any other notices required by DIR rule or regulation
By this reference, such notices are made part of the Agreement. Supplier will pay not less than the prevailing wage rates, as
specified in the schedule and any amendments thereto, to all workers employed by Supplier in providing the Services. Supplier
will cause all subcontracts to include the provision that all sub-suppliers will pay not less than the prevailing rates to all workers
employed by such sub-suppliers in providing the Services. The Services are subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement
by the DIR. Supplier will forfeit, as a penalty, not more than $200 for each calendar day or portion thereof for each worker that
is paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any
portion of the Services provided by Supplier or any sub-supplier. The amount of this penalty will be determined pursuant to
applicable law. Such forfeiture amounts may be deducted from the amounts due under the Agreement. If there are insufficient
funds remaining in the amounts due under the Agreement, Supplier will be liable for any outstanding amount remaining due.
Supplier will also pay to any worker who was paid less than the prevailing wage rate for the work or craft for which the worker
was employed for any portion of the Services, for each day, or portion thereof, for which the worker was paid less than the
specified prevailing per diem wage rate, an amount equal to the difference between the specified prevailing per diem wage
rate and the amount which was paid to the worker. Review of any civil wage and penalty assessment will be made pursuant to
California Labor Code section 1742.
ARTICLE 25 FAIR WAGE/FAIR WORK

compliance with applicable federal, state and local working conditions requirements, including but not limited to those set
forth in Articles 11, 12 and 14 herein, and that Supplier pays its employees performing the Services no less than the UC Fair

Wage. Supplier agrees UC may conduct such UC Fair Wage/Fair Work interim compliance audits as UC reasonably requests, as
determined in UC’s sole discretion. Supplier agrees to post UC Fair Wage/Fair Work notices, in the form supplied by UC, in
public areas (such as break rooms and lunch rooms) frequented by Supplier employees who perform Services.
For Services rendered (actual spend) not subject to prevailing wage requirements in excess of $100,000 in a year (under the
Agreement or any combination of agreements for the same service), Supplier will
a. At Supplier’s expense, provide an annual independent verification (
https://www.ucop.edu/procurement-services/for-
suppliers/fwfw-resources-suppliers.html) performed by a licensed public accounting firm (independent accountant)
or the Supplier’s independent internal audit department (http://na.theiia.org/standards-
guidance/topics/Pages/Independence-and-Objectivity.aspx) in compliance with UC’s required verification standards
and procedures (https://www.ucop.edu/procurement-services/for-suppliers/fwfw-resources-suppliers.html),
concerning Supplier’s compliance with this provision, and
b. Ensure that in the case of a UC interim audit, its independent accountant/independent internal auditor makes
available to UC its work papers for UC Fair Wage/Fair Work for the most recent verification period. Supplier agrees to
provide UC with a UC Fair Wage/Fair Work verification annually, in a form acceptable to UC, no later than ninety days
after the end of the 12-month period in which $100,000 in spend is reached.
The Fair Wage Fair Work annual independent verification requirement does not extend to contracts for professional services or
consulting for which pre-certification has been provided to UC (
https://www.ucop.edu/procurement-services/for-
suppliers/fwfw-resources-suppliers.html). Please see the UC Procurement/Supply Chain Management Policy BUS-43

not required for use or operation of such Goods and/or Services or Medical Device will be disabled at time of installation. In
addition, Medical Devices must be configured so that only Supplier-approved applications will run on such Medical Devices.
Supplier agrees that UC may take any and all actions that it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to address, mitigate and/or
rectify any real or potential security threat, and that no such action, to the extent such action does not compromise device
certification, will impact, limit, reduce or negate Supplier’s warranties or any of Supplier’s other obligations hereunder.
Supplier warrants that any Medical Device provided to UC, and any other Medical Device used in the course of providing such
Goods and/or Services, meet and comply with all cyber-security guidance and similar standards promulgated by the FDA and
